Collin also introduces The Oz Method, connecting the brain to belief and curiosity, the heart to emotional connection, the lion to courage and vulnerability, and the yellow brick road to the habits and systems that make success repeatable.Ultimately, Collin challenges sales professionals to examine the stories they repeatedly tell themselves. Your strategy matters. Your skills matter. Your market matters. But your biggest competition may still be you.KEY TAKEAWAYSNever sell—serve. Shift from an “I-centered” mindset to creating meaningful value for the customer.Psychology precedes strategy. Sales techniques are only as effective as the beliefs driving the person using them. You never outperform your beliefs. Assumptions about yourself, buyers, the market, or the economy can quietly limit your performance. Self-awareness creates change. You cannot challenge a limiting belief until you're willing to recognize it. Master The Oz Method. Combine belief and curiosity, emotional connection, courage and vulnerability, and disciplined processes. Train your self-talk. The way you narrate wins, losses, rejection, and opportunity directly influences confident action. Stop blaming external competition. Before looking at the market, examine the beliefs influencing how you're showing up.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESPsychology precedes strategy every single time.You never outperform your own beliefs.Our limits begin where our vision ends.Self-talk is the number one driver of confident action.The brain doesn't care what is true or false.

That frantic 911 call came into dispatchers in Harris County, Texas, on the evening of July 9th, 2014. On the other end of the line was 15-year-old Cassidy Stay, and what she told them was almost impossible to comprehend. Someone had broken into her home, tied up her family and shot them all. When deputies arrived at the house, they expected a horrific scene, but even they couldn't have imagined the devastation waiting inside. A family of seven had been targeted in their own home in broad daylight. Parents and children. An entire family was wiped out in a matter of minutes.

What happens when a farm family has ten children and the future of the farm needs to be decided? In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, we go inside one family's real-life succession planning journey with Nathan, the eldest of ten siblings, and Derryn Shrosbree of Farmstrong. With multiple family members, different ideas about the future, and the difficult realities of land, money, inheritance and who will continue farming, succession planning can become complicated quickly. Nathan shares what the process was actually like for his family including the challenges, the assumptions they had going in, and the conversations that needed to happen. Derryn brings his perspective as the advisor who helped guide the family through the process, explaining why succession conversations can be so difficult, how families can work through competing ideas of what is "fair," and why having an independent third party involved can make such a difference. Most importantly, this episode explores what can happen when a family chooses to have these conversations before a crisis forces them to. In This Episode • Nathan's perspective as the eldest of ten siblings • How many family members are currently farming and who wants to farm in the future • What prompted the family to begin talking about succession • The biggest challenges the family faced during the process • Concerns about creating tension by discussing money, land and inheritance • How the family created space for everyone's voice to be heard • Why "fair" doesn't always mean "equal" when it comes to succession • Assumptions family members had about their parents' and siblings' wishes • The role Derryn and Farmstrong played in guiding the family • What could have happened if the family had continued putting succession planning off • How having a plan has changed the way the family talks about the future • Advice for farming families who keep saying, "We'll deal with succession someday." Don't Wait Until You Have To For many farm families, succession planning stays on the "someday" list because the conversations feel uncomfortable, complicated or overwhelming. But avoiding the conversation doesn't make the decisions go away. It simply leaves them for another day, often when circumstances are much more difficult. As Nathan's story demonstrates, getting the process started can bring clarity to things that family members may have been assuming, wondering about or avoiding for years. And having the right advisor at the table can help families have conversations they might struggle to have on their own. If your family hasn't started talking about succession, don't wait for a crisis to force the conversation. Start with one conversation, get the right people around the table, and begin building a plan for the future.

Welcome to episode #1051 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Dr. Sebastian Wernicke has built his career at the intersection of data science, artificial intelligence, economics, and decision-making. He leads the Data Science and AI team at Oxera, one of Europe's leading economics consultancies, and has become widely recognized for his ability to make complex ideas about data both accessible and deeply human. Many people first encountered Sebastian through his memorable TED Talk, which cleverly used data to satirize TED Talks themselves, but his work has always been driven by a much bigger question: how can organizations use data to challenge assumptions instead of reinforcing them? His new book, Data Inspired - Building An Organizational Culture Of Inquiry For Lasting Transformation, argues that businesses have become too focused on being "data-driven" and not focused enough on becoming "data-inspired." In this episode, Sebastian explains why more data doesn't automatically lead to better decisions, why confirmation bias often causes us to use data to strengthen existing beliefs, and why the greatest value of data lies not in optimization but in transformation. We also discuss the promises and disappointments of big data, the rise of generative AI, synthetic data, AI agents, and why the hardest challenge facing organizations isn't technological... it's cultural. Along the way, Sebastian makes a compelling case that leadership is ultimately about designing environments where people are encouraged to ask better questions, embrace uncertainty, and use evidence to change their minds rather than defend them. It is a thoughtful conversation about data, intelligence, curiosity, and why the organizations that thrive in the AI era will be the ones that build cultures of inquiry instead of cultures of certainty.

In Part 1 of "The Beware of Series," Jeffrey Bellomo challenges many of the assumptions that can sabotage your family's estate plan. Even with the best intentions, family members and legal professionals can fail to create a comprehensive plan based on the family's goals. They can fail to use an appropriate range of planning tools. They can fail to keep plans updated over time. They can fail to protect assets in a way that preserves choice and flexibility before and after death. This valuable series, inspired by Jeff's soon-to-be-released book, can help you avoid common assumptions and costly mistakes. He discusses what to look for in a law firm, why you should not rely only on Medicaid crisis planning, the importance of coordination and communication among the family and their legal professionals, and how assumptions about the future can be risky and reckless.

Was It a Murder? The Trial That Flipped Everything. A reclusive television repairman. A wife no one knew existed. A mysterious death inside a cluttered Georgia home. And a murder trial that would change two families, and one attorney's life, forever. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio When attorney McCracken King Poston Jr. agreed to defend Alvin Ridley, many people in Ringgold, Georgia, had already reached their verdict. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Ridley was strange. He was isolated. He lived behind closed doors in a junk-filled house. Most shocking of all, a woman had been found dead inside, and she was reportedly his wife, although many people in town never knew he was married. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. To the public, the case appeared almost impossible to explain. But was it a murder? That question is at the heart of a gripping episode of the nationally syndicated Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Poston shares the extraordinary courtroom battle, the evidence investigators reportedly overlooked, and the unlikely friendship that emerged from one of Georgia's most unusual criminal cases. Was It a Murder? The Trial That Flipped Everything. It is also the remarkable story behind his Book, Zenith Man: Death, Love, and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom. A Death That Shocked a Small Georgia Town In October 1997, the northwest Georgia town of Ringgold was rocked by reports of a suspicious death. Virginia Ridley had been found dead inside the home she shared with Alvin Ridley, a former television repairman known locally as the “Zenith Man.” The nickname came from his years selling and servicing Zenith televisions. Alvin had always been considered a local character. He was reclusive, socially awkward, and frequently misunderstood. His home was cluttered, his mannerisms were unusual, and his relationships with other people were often difficult. He shares the full story as a guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major podcast platforms. The interview is also featured across Facebook and Instagram. Then the community learned that he had a wife. Virginia had reportedly lived with Alvin for decades, yet many people in town did not know she existed. Rumors quickly spread that he had kept her captive inside the home for approximately 30 years before killing her. The story sounded like something created for a true-crime television series. The accusation was horrifying, and the circumstances surrounding Virginia's life and death made Alvin an easy person to suspect. But unusual behavior is not proof of murder. That distinction would become the foundation of Poston's defense. “The case was never simply about whether Alvin Ridley was different. It was about whether the evidence proved that he was guilty.” The Attorney Who Took the Case McCracken Poston was no stranger to public pressure. Born and raised in Catoosa County, Georgia, he had strong personal ties to the community where the case unfolded. He graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and later earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Georgia School of Law, where he served as president of his graduating class. Was It a Murder? The Trial That Flipped Everything. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. Before entering private practice, he worked as an assistant district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit. Poston also served four terms in the Georgia House of Representatives from 1989 through 1997. After losing a campaign for the United States Congress, he returned to practicing law. That career transition placed him in the path of Alvin Ridley. Poston knew Alvin as the eccentric “Zenith Man” who once sold and repaired televisions. Although Alvin could be difficult, combative, and intensely private, Poston did not believe that his odd personality automatically made him capable of murder. He agreed to defend him. What followed was one of the most difficult and personally transformative periods of Poston's life. A Client Who Would Not Help His Own Defense Preparing for a murder trial is challenging under any circumstances. Defending a client who refuses to reveal essential facts makes the task even more difficult. Alvin was not an easy client. He was reluctant to communicate and often unwilling to provide Poston with information that could help explain his marriage, Virginia's secluded life, and what happened inside the house. Every unanswered question created another obstacle. Why had Virginia remained hidden from public view? Had she been prevented from leaving the house? Why did so few people know the couple was married? What caused her death? And why did Alvin behave in ways that made him appear suspicious, even when he might have been trying to tell the truth? Poston had to look beyond Alvin's personality and search for facts. “A defense attorney cannot rely on appearances, rumors, or community opinion. The obligation is to examine the evidence, even when the client makes that work extraordinarily difficult.” Piece by piece, Poston began reconstructing the story of Alvin and Virginia Ridley. The answers were buried inside medical records, witness testimony, expert analysis, and the enormous amount of material found inside Alvin's cluttered home. Was It a Murder? The Trial That Flipped Everything. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. The Evidence That Changed the Case The prosecution's theory portrayed Alvin as a controlling husband who had kept Virginia captive before causing her death. Poston's investigation pointed toward another possibility. With assistance from medical experts, he focused on Virginia's health and the true cause of her death. His defense challenged assumptions that had shaped the case and raised serious questions about evidence that he believed law enforcement had overlooked. The home that initially appeared to reinforce the image of a disturbed killer began producing evidence that supported the defense. Poston also made the risky decision to call Alvin to testify. For a defendant in a murder case, taking the witness stand can be dangerous. Prosecutors gain the opportunity to question the accused directly, and a single poorly worded answer can affect how jurors view the entire case. For Alvin, a man who struggled with communication and frequently appeared hostile or evasive, the risk was even greater. Yet his testimony gave jurors an opportunity to see the person behind the rumors. The trial became about more than his strange behavior. It became a search for the truth about Virginia's life, the couple's marriage, and her death. The defense argued that the medical evidence did not support the murder allegation. After hearing the testimony and examining the evidence, the jury acquitted Alvin Ridley of all charges in 1999. He walked out of court a Free man. A Later Diagnosis Flipped Everything Again The acquittal ended the criminal case, but it did not fully explain Alvin Ridley. That explanation would come years later. Alvin was eventually diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The diagnosis offered a new way to understand many of the traits that had made him appear suspicious, hostile, or impossible to reach. Was It a Murder? The Trial That Flipped Everything. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. His communication difficulties, rigid behavior, social isolation, and inability to respond in ways others expected were no longer merely signs of eccentricity. The revelation reframed the entire story. It also raised a disturbing question: How often are people treated as dangerous or dishonest simply because they communicate differently or fail to conform to society's expectations? Alvin had been judged long before a jury heard the evidence. His differences helped create a public image that fit the accusation, even if the medical facts did not. “When someone does not behave the way society expects, people can mistake difference for guilt.” The diagnosis does not erase every mystery surrounding Alvin and Virginia's unconventional marriage. It does, however, offer important context about a man who spent much of his life being misunderstood. The Murder Trial That Changed Poston's Life The case did more than save Alvin Ridley from a possible murder conviction. It changed McCracken Poston personally. By the time he took the case, Poston had already spent approximately 14 years building his legal and political career. Beneath his professional success, however, he carried emotional wounds connected to his childhood. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. He had grown up with an alcoholic parent and struggled with low self-esteem and other personal issues. Alcohol would also become part of his own battle. Then his father appeared at Alvin's trial. That moment became part of a life-changing sequence for both men. Poston's father became sober afterward, and Poston eventually began his own recovery journey. Today, Poston has reportedly been sober for more than 20 years. The courtroom victory was important, but the case's impact reached far beyond a legal verdict. It transformed his relationships, challenged his understanding of himself, and helped place him on a path toward recovery. In an unexpected way, Alvin became more than a client. The two men formed an unlikely friendship, one that may have saved both of their lives. Zenith Man: More Than a True-Crime Book Decades after the trial, Poston returned to the case in his 2024 Book, Zenith Man: Death, Love, and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom, published by Citadel Books/Kensington Publishing. The Book is part true crime, part courtroom drama, and part personal memoir. It examines the mystery surrounding Virginia Ridley's death, the challenges of representing Alvin, and the surprising evidence that changed the direction of the case. It also explores family, addiction, justice, community judgment, friendship, love, and redemption. At its center are two very different men. One was a former state legislator and experienced criminal defense attorney attempting to rebuild his career. The other was a reclusive television repairman accused of committing an almost unimaginable crime. Was It a Murder? The Trial That Flipped Everything. Their relationship began because of a murder charge. It endured because each man discovered something human in the other. “Sometimes the case that appears to be about saving a client becomes the case that saves the attorney, too.” A Career Filled With Nationally Recognized Cases Poston's legal work has extended far beyond the Ridley trial. As a Georgia and Tennessee criminal defense attorney, former prosecutor, and former state representative, he has handled numerous high-profile criminal cases. His work has received national News and television coverage, including features on CNN Presents, Dateline NBC, A&E's American Justice, Forensic Files, Extra, and NPR's Snap Judgment. The interview is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major Podcast platforms. Additional articles, and episode information can be shared through Facebook, Instagram, and other Social Media channels. Yet the Alvin Ridley case remains the one most closely associated with his career. It combined a sensational accusation, a deeply unconventional marriage, overlooked medical evidence, community suspicion, and a defendant whose behavior was widely misunderstood. It also became a deeply personal story of sobriety and redemption. Lessons From the Trial Poston's experience offers several important lessons about the criminal justice system and the way the public consumes crime stories. First, appearances are not evidence. A person can be strange, unlikeable, evasive, or socially isolated without being guilty of a crime. Second, medical evidence matters. Assumptions about a death must be tested against forensic facts and qualified expert analysis. Third, defendants with autism or other communication differences may be particularly vulnerable. Behavior that appears cold, deceptive, or uncooperative may have an entirely different explanation. Finally, redemption can emerge from unexpected places. Poston entered the case as Alvin's attorney. He left it with a changed perspective on his career, his family, his struggles with alcohol, and the direction of his life. Hear the Full Story on the Free Podcast McCracken Poston tells the remarkable story behind the trial on the nationally syndicated Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. He discusses the difficulties of defending Alvin Ridley, the obstacles that threatened trial preparation, the overlooked evidence, and the courtroom decisions that helped secure an acquittal. Was It a Murder? The Trial That Flipped Everything. The show is distributed through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and other podcast platforms. Its interviews are also promoted across Facebook, Instagram, and other social media channels. He also talks about his father's unexpected appearance at the trial, his family's experience with alcoholism, and his own journey to more than 20 years of sobriety. The Free Podcast episode is available across major platforms, including Apple, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube. Updates and additional content from the Radio Show can also be found on Facebook and Instagram. For true-crime followers, the episode provides a rare look inside a defense attorney's preparation for an almost unbelievable murder trial. For listeners interested in recovery, family, autism awareness, and second chances, it offers something even more powerful. Was It a Murder? The people of Ringgold initially saw a dead woman, a secret marriage, and an eccentric husband living inside a cluttered house. They believed they knew what had happened. The evidence told another story. McCracken Poston's defense helped Alvin Ridley walk out of court a Free man. Years later, Alvin's autism diagnosis changed the way many people understood his behavior. The trial also became a turning point in Poston's relationship with his father and in his own journey toward sobriety. Zenith Man: Death, Love, and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom is not merely the story of a sensational murder accusation. It is the story of what can happen when one attorney looks beyond appearances, questions the accepted narrative, and refuses to confuse being different with being guilty. Was it a murder? The trial flipped everything people thought they knew and the truth changed far more than the verdict.

Every legal dispute comes down to a judgment call made with incomplete information — and wherever there's judgment, there are mental shortcuts quietly shaping the outcome. Host Dr. Laura Scherck Wittcoff sits down with Tricia Schafer, a full-time neutral who mediates and arbitrates cases nationwide, ahead of her TechTainment panel on implicit bias in tech-driven mediation. Together they unpack what implicit bias actually is (a normal function of the human brain, not a character flaw), why it matters most in entertainment and intellectual property disputes where there's rarely one objectively correct answer, and the practical, sometimes surprising strategies practitioners can use to design bias out of a process instead of pretending it isn't there. Tricia Schafer, Tricia Schafer Dispute Resolution PLLC: A full-time neutral and former litigator with 31 years of experience across all aspects of commercial controversies, Tricia is known for connecting people and concepts to outcomes that transcend the sum of their parts. She mediates and arbitrates cases nationwide, both privately and through the American Arbitration Association, handling commercial, real estate, health care, and consumer matters, and was recently approved as a mediator for the United States Postal Service. Based in Arizona, she also volunteers with the state court system in civil and probate matters and offers reduced-rate work to select Arizona nonprofits. She first attended TechTainment in 2024 at a friend's suggestion — arriving knowing exactly one person and leaving with roughly two dozen new friends — and has been a loyal follower since. At this year's conference, she co-presents on implicit bias with longtime friend and colleague Maria Crimi Speth, a partner at Jaburg Wilk in Phoenix and a career intellectual property litigator. What is TechTainment? TechTainment is an annual, one-day conference produced by LAIPLA, now held in partnership with the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University (ASU) at ASU's California Center in downtown Los Angeles. The conference brings together leaders in technology, entertainment, business, academia, and law to discuss the issues reshaping every industry, long before those issues become mainstream news. This year's conference: Friday, October 16, 2026, at ASU's California Center in downtown Los Angeles Tricia's panel: "Implicit Bias in Dispute Resolution and Mediation", co-presented with Maria Crimi Speth of Jaburg Wilk What implicit bias actually is: Implicit bias is not prejudice or intentional discrimination. It's a mental shortcut the brain uses to make decisions under incomplete information, limited time, or uncertainty — a normal part of being human, not a character flaw. Tricia's example makes it concrete: a Mercedes pulls into your driveway versus a beat-up pickup truck, and you've formed a judgment about the driver before you've seen them. It doesn't matter until you have to help that person resolve something that matters in their life. Why "neutral" is a noun: Tricia explains that "Neutral" is the catch-all for someone who serves as both mediator and arbitrator — a private-pay, secure way to resolve disputes outside of court. She also walks through the tradeoffs of arbitration: it's faster, it's private, it never becomes public record, and critically, you get to choose your decision-maker. File in court and you may draw a judge who spent 20 years in family law and just moved to the civil bench. Through the American Arbitration Association or another provider, you can ask for an environmental lawyer, an engineer, or a water lawyer. The cost: you pay your neutral's hourly rate, and there is almost no right to appeal. Positions versus interests, and the last orange in the house: Tricia walks through the foundational mediation exercise: two kids fighting over the last orange, and a parent's instinct to cut it in half. The better move is to ask each child why they want it — one is hungry, the other needs it for a science project — and suddenly there's a solution that makes both of them happy. As she puts it, a position is what you say you want and an interest is why you want it. Do you really want the money, or do you want the security of knowing you can keep the house? The related insight: "No" is never permanent. "No simply means I'm not going to change my position based upon the available information that I have right now." Designing bias out of the process: Tricia describes wanting software that would strip law firm letterhead off position statements before she reads them, and assign parties fake names, so she isn't forming judgments about counsel or making assumptions from the ethnicity of a surname — the same logic behind employers removing photos from resumes. She also shares a technique she uses now: she dumbs the fact pattern down, renames everyone, and spends half an hour working through the dynamic with an AI assistant. Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith fighting over a commercial building becomes Bob and Larry fighting over a pickup truck. The AI has no idea who anyone is, which is exactly the point. Where implicit bias shows up in entertainment and IP: Assumptions about how long creative work should take a human, and whether AI could do it faster. Assumptions about what a market wants and will pay for, made without consulting anyone who lives and works in that market. Confirmation bias in data used to argue for one direction over another. And the structural disadvantage facing independent creators, who often lack the resources to register, protect, or aggressively enforce their intellectual property — so their disputes get read as less significant. Tricia names the persistent disconnect between the rooms where decisions get made and the people actually watching and streaming the content. Dispute resolution is dispute prevention: One of the episode's most quotable lines, and the practical center of Tricia's advice. It's not if a dispute arises, it's when. Mediation clauses are now common in contracts — and, Tricia notes, most people don't realize those clauses are negotiable in any contract involving personal services or securing talent. "We'll mediate before we arbitrate before we litigate" means very little on its own. For how many days? What kind of mediator — an entertainment lawyer at $1,000 an hour, or a court-appointed one? In person or on Zoom? In good faith, and what does good faith mean? She points listeners to the sample clause language published by the major providers, including the AAA's ClauseBuilder tool, and notes you can even name the specific mediators you'd accept. Strategies for creators and practitioners without deep pockets: For anyone younger, newer, or under-resourced walking into a negotiation: go in without defensiveness, but look in the mirror first and ask what the other side is likely to assume about you — then stay ahead of it. On the other side of the table, for the corporations and the streamers: you know statistically what your audience does, but you don't know what's in their heads or why they're watching what they're watching. Follow the data, and also build a team of decision-makers with genuinely different perspectives. Normalizing bias instead of denying it: Tricia's hope for what people take away from her session: bias is not bad. Bias is not negative. She'd like to see the same shift the culture has already made around therapy and health tracking — from something you'd never mention to something you say out loud. Her image of what that looks like in practice: a mediator who can say "I feel like I'm getting a little biased from this room, I need to take a five-minute break." Laura's response: when you pretend it doesn't exist, it creeps in anyway.

Bands rarely fall apart because somebody missed a chord.They fall apart because expectations about money, gigs, rehearsals, song choices, musical standards, commitment, and leadership go unspoken until somebody finally blows up.This week, we brought in somebody who actually knows what he's talking about.Dr. Jesse Erdheim is an industrial-organizational psychologist and wellbeing coach with more than 20 years of experience working with motivation, conflict, burnout, leadership, and change. He also fronts a working classic-rock cover band—so he understands band dysfunction from both sides.We talk about:*Why bands are uniquely difficult organizations*How mismatched expectations turn into resentment*How to give musical criticism without destroying morale*What psychological safety actually looks like in a band*Why emotional regulation matters before a difficult conversation*What to do when your band culture has already become unhealthyOne of the biggest lessons: sometimes the explosion you think came out of nowhere actually started months earlier when everyone stopped checking whether they were still working toward the same goal. Jesse describes his own experience with a guitarist whose frustration over money and travel finally erupted at a show—and how that changed the way his band communicates with new members.If you're a band leader, working musician, or anyone currently sitting in a group text wondering “How the hell did we get here?”—this episode is for you.More from Dr. Jesse Erdheim:jesseerdheim.comUpcoming book: A Full Cup: Reflections on Living WellJesse also fronts The Backroads, a Durham-area cover band performing around Durham, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough.https://www.facebook.com/thebackroadsdurham/https://www.instagram.com/the.back.roads__/#CoverBand #BandDrama #WorkingMusician #BandLeader #musicbusiness 00:00 Podcast kickoff00:55 Meet Dr Jesse01:53 From GNR to gigging03:48 Band leadership style05:37 Shared vision basics08:14 Why bands are hard10:21 Gig meltdown story12:44 Assumptions and alignment17:47 Common band problems23:20 Giving feedback safely27:16 Trust Bank Accounts27:44 Giving Notes With Care28:25 Adaptability Over Control30:02 Does The Audience Care31:03 Perfectionism And Perspective31:58 Are Musicians Different34:54 Win Win Band Leadership37:30 Pre Show Regulation Routine39:38 Time Confetti Planning42:09 Hard Conversations Toolkit45:30 Stop Rumination Loops49:59 Relationships And Wrap Up

How do we honor people well who aren't living our same reality? In this Summer Reset episode of the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle takes on the assumptions, stereotypes, and casual phrases that quietly communicate to single people in the church that their life is somehow less complete, and to married people that everyone shares their experience. From the well-meaning Instagram post telling single friends to "get yourself a husband who..." to the thoughtless question asking parents if they're planning more children, Lisa makes the case that we are far more self-absorbed in our conversations than we realize, and that the church can and should do better. Rooted in Matthew 28:19 and a clear-eyed look at what our highest call actually is, this episode is for the single person who has felt unseen, the married person who didn't realize how they were landing, and anyone who wants to love the people around them with more intention. Listen in to learn more: What the Bible actually says about singleness, marriage, and our highest call as human beings Why Matthew 28:19 levels the playing field, and what that means for how we see each other The assumptions married people make without realizing it (and why they land the way they do) The assumptions single people carry too (and the stereotypes that go both directions) An example from Lisa's personal life and why presumptive conversations are more painful than we think A challenge to align our hearts with the mind of Christ Mentioned in the Episode: Episode — Maddie Pruitt on Dating and Marriage: https://www.lisawhittle.com/joeshow/joe-s10e15 Book — God Knows by Lisa Whittle: https://www.lisawhittle.com/godknows Invite Lisa to Speak: https://www.lisawhittle.com/speaking Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.lisawhittle.comSubstack: https://letsbeclear.substack.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lisawhittleofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisawhittleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisawhittleofficial
