Podcast appearances and mentions of brad montague

In this episode of the Be the One podcast, we're joined by New York Times best-selling author Brad Montague, known for his inspiring book The Circles All Around Us. Stepping in as guest host is our very own Director of Wellness, Jacob Crowder, who leads a thoughtful and encouraging conversation about kindness, connection, and the circles we build.

On this week's program, Station manager, Phil Tower welcomes Whitney Valentine, Director of Education + Exhibitions, with the Saugatuck Center for The Arts, and New York Times best-selling author in speaker Brad Montague.Brad Montague is the keynote speaker for the Curiosity In Action Conference on April 26 at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts.We Hope You Fail Better, is currently on exhibit through May 16 at SC4A. It's an exhibit where playful and thoughtful pieces are brought together by New York Times bestselling duo, Brad and Kristi Montague, for their debut exhibition, We Hope You Fail Better., just in time for the release of their new book “Fail-A-Bration.” Brad is the creator of the hit web series Kid President, and Kid Congress, and author of Becoming Better Grownups, and the New York Times best sellers Kid President's Guide to Being Awesome and The Circles All Around Us. As an illustrator, his work is regularly featured in Joanna Gaines's The Magnolia Journal. You're invited to join others at the Curiousity In Action: A Conference In Doing, for a full day of unique and immersive experiences highlighting the intersection of wellness and creativity.Conference participants will use curiosity to discover how creation is a form of self-care and how art-making is inherently therapeutic and spend the day with us making, thinking, connecting, creating, and just… being. We invite you to the first biannual Curiosity in Action: a conference for doing.What's a “Conference for Doing?” Well, it's exactly what it sounds like: taking the conference framework and making it actionable.Part of the aim in building a “conference for doing” is to offer all participants the opportunity to “try on” the ideas that are being shared by our presenters, so the day will follow an adult learning model that incorporates three elements: information, practice, and reflection. Each session will include all three pieces and they will repeat in this pattern:INFORMATION – Encouraging, thoughtful, and creative ideas will be shared by dynamic presenters during the large group sessionsPRACTICE – Immediately following each presentation, attendees will be invited to engage a personal practice that allows them to work with the content offered in the presentation. Prompts will be provided and attendees may engage them in any way that is most helpful to them – maybe you take a quick walk outdoors and think about the prompt, maybe you'd prefer to find a quiet place to be still, or maybe you borrow a friend for a brief chat. REFLECTION – All conference attendees will be divided into Reflection Groups that will gather after the brief “practice” time to continue their learning in community. Each reflection group will be facilitated by trained hosts who guide conversations and activities to help the group dig deeper into the “information” offered by the presenter(s).CURIOSITY IN ACTION- A CONFERENCE IN DOINGOverview, April 26, 2025, 9:00 am - 5:00 p @ Saugatuck Center for the ArtsCost | $125.  INFO + REGISTRATION: https://sc4a.org/SC4A Mission-the  SC4A is an arts center with a difference.

It's hard to show up publicly at times, sharing your work, giving of yourself to others. It can be even harder given the places we mostly show up online today. But Brad Montague is here to lead a joyful rebellion—one for creatives, artists, and humans of all kinds, both kids and (in Brad's terms) former kids. And here's here to show us that celebrating failure is part of the process of doing meaningful things.Brad is a New York Times bestselling author of books for kids and former kids alike. He's also a speaker and creator of the web series Kid President which took the world by storm years ago and was the first viral video I shared to all my friends instantly. His books, which he writes and illustrates with his wife Kristi, include The Fantastic Bureau of Imagination, The Circles All Around Us, Becoming Better Grownups, and his most recent, Failabration. In our episode, Brad shares a delightful story in verse about the "dumpster fire" we always talk about, and a little girl who is skeptical, hopeful, and brave.Brad and I discuss why his style of communicating matters, how humor cuts through defenses, the difference between speaking to an audience of children versus adults, and how we can let our audience know, instantly, “You're in good hands.” Connect with Brad on his website, Instagram, and LinkedInGrab a copy of Brad's booksWatch the video I mention at the top of the episode, Kid President's Pep Talk ***IMPROVE YOUR SPEAKING + STORYTELLING: Subscribe to my newsletter and learn more about me at jayacunzo.comWork with me one-on-one: jayacunzo.com/servicesBook me to speak: jayacunzo.com/keynotes***CONNECT:Follow me on LinkedIn, Instagram, or BlueskyThis episode was produced by Ilana NevinsCover art designed by Blake Ink***ABOUT ME:I help business leaders become stronger speakers and storytellers. The goal isn't to get in front of your audience. The goal is to ensure they care. While others agonize over reach, your ability to resonate helps you compete on the influence of your ideas, not the volume of your marketing.With my clients, I help clarify + differentiate their message, craft their thinking and expertise into a distinct premise and IP they own, and develop signature speeches, frameworks, and stories to influence, inspire, and drive results.After making a name for myself as an early advocate for quality and storytelling in content marketing at brands like Google and HubSpot, I've partnered with orgs like Mailchimp, Salesforce, Wistia, and GoDaddy and consulted dozens of authors, entrepreneurs, execs, and creators on their storytelling, messaging, and public speaking.I live in the Boston area with my family as a proud Yankees and Knicks fan (yes, I'm in enemy territory). In the 60 seconds per week I'm not creating stuff for work or making my kids laugh, I like to shoot hoops, sip nice bourbons, cook with my wife, and daydream about telling stories like my storytelling hero, Anthony Bourdain.

Are you ready to replace the “God, help me to have a good day tomorrow” bedtime prayer? Maybe for your kids…and maybe for yourself! Today, Katherine is offering you a benediction fifteen years in the making. What started as a bedtime prayer for her sons has become her prayer for a generation of souls hoping to live their good/hard story well to the very end. If you need fresh inspiration and real-talk motivation for your prayer life today, this episode is for YOU! What We'll Cover: What we miss out on by seeing life as only good OR hard. How we can become better, instead of bitter, from our suffering The surprising ways that Jesus defined “blessedness” and what it means for our pain The opportunity we have to reframe painful limitations as the places of ultimate freedom Treasures in the Dark: 90 Reflections on Finding Bright Hope Hidden in the Hurting by Katherine Wolf: https://hopeheals.com/treasures “It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” - C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses This Is a Joyful Rebellion! by Brad Montague - https://youtu.be/Pp_gxJspWEI?si=K7Uf_qvq9EAXVY-e My Benediction for The Good/Hard Life May you see life as a good/hard story that God is writing. May you open your hands to release old dreams and receive new ones. May you find the miracle you've been looking for has been right in front of you all along. May you accept the stunning capacity you have to endure because of Jesus, who endured for you. May you live out the hardest parts of your story with a joyful rebellion against the darkness. May you believe the boundary lines around your life are good and pleasant because God uniquely assigned them to you. May your invisible wheelchairs become avenues to a new kind of freedom because of Jesus Scriptures referenced in this episode: Psalm 139:16 Isaiah 43:18-19 John 12:37 John 16:33 Deuteronomy 31:6  Psalm 16:6 Philippians 4:13 Galatians 6:5  *** Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!

Parents often worry about how to raise their children to be “good people.” But there's an assumption that once you're an adult, you're done “growing”, and no longer need to progress on that journey to being a better version of yourself.  Brad Montague, author of “Becoming Better Grownups”, says we can counter that notion in a unique way… in a world which can seem increasingly childish, he says we should become more childlike.

In this new world of war, recession, pandemics, etc., it's difficult to have a normal, settled mind, and so acts of kindness are slowly fading away. The woke mindset and people's selfishness are creeping in and killing our societies. But we are still humans, no matter how nonchalant we pretend to be; we all need someone to lean on.  There is opportunity for positive change, and it starts with us. We can become better people. How then, can we do that? How can we all work together to promote and spread kindness and imagine the best future for each other? Returning for his second appearance on Change Starts Here, Presented by FranklinCovey Education, Brad Montague, a New York Times best-selling author and illustrator, joins host Dustin Odham to talk about his books and a new project about spreading kindness, and how we can all get out of our heads and just perform that act of kindness. You can check out Odham and Montague's last discussion here. "We are all humans that want to be loved, and when you approach life from that place, you see yourself and others in that way, and it helps you to be bold and also gentle, and that leads to seeing every person as someone who needs some care. You can give or say something that'll add a little something to somebody's day, and that should give you hope, " Montague stated. Odham and Montague discussed:What Montague had been working on for the past two years since he's last been on the podcast How Montague helps people get over the edge of thinking too muchMontague's book on imagination and how it can help people rekindle their imaginationMontague also discusses treasures from writing his book, hosting his show, or meeting people, that he continues to share with others:"We all get this moment of, 'I should do that thing for somebody,' just like everything from getting a card, to sending someone a note, to let them know you are thinking of them... can sometimes feel ridiculous because you are like, ‘What else am I going to say? I was thinking of you?' Is this going to be creepy or sort of uncomfortable? Is it going to be funny? It must be really awkward. If these impulses are rooted in love, they are worth acting on because it's going to matter to someone," Montague said. "I think a lot of times we use our imagination to dream of the worst possible outcomes, the ways it could all go wrong. Our imagination is the most beautiful thing, as it always makes us dream of possibilities, and yet we've misused it to worry, to think of the worst of what you could do or who you are. When we use it to imagine the best possible future for each other, then it becomes a thing that is irresistible," Montague added. Brad Montague is the co-creator of Kid President, the internet sensation featured on Soulpancake's YouTube channel. As a writer and director, his work has received over 900 million views, translated into numerous languages, and captured the attention of celebrities such as Tom Hanks, Beyonce', and even the Obamas. His encouraging work as an illustrator is seen and shared daily online. Montague is the driving force behind 'Socktober,' a worldwide annual drive that connects people with local homeless shelters, and 'Wondersparks,' free classroom resources that foster empathy and imagination.

As an illustrator his work is regularly featured in Joanna Gaines's The Magnolia Journal. He lives in Tennessee with his wife and kids. Becoming Better GrownupsWhen his first book tour ended, Brad Montague missed hearing other people's stories so much that he launched what he dubbed a Listening Tour. First visiting elementary schools and later also nursing homes and retirement communities, he hoped to glean new wisdom as to how he might become a better grownup. Now, in this playful and buoyant book, he shares those insights with rest of us --timeless, often surprising lessons that bypass the head we're always stuck in, and go straight to the heart we sometimes forget.Each of the book's three sections begins with the illustrated story of "The Incredible Floating Girl." Brad weaves this story together with lessons of success, fear, regret, gratitude, love, happiness, and dreams to reveal the true reason we are here: to fly, and to help others fly.Beautifully designed and featuring Montague's own whimsical 4-color illustrations that appeal to the kid in all of us, Becoming Better Grownups shares the purpose and meaning we can all discover merely by listening, and reveals that--in a world that seems increasingly childish--the secret to joy is in fact to become more childlike.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we continue to unpack the Connector Storytelling Type, we would be remiss to not include one of our favorite Connectors…Mr. Brad Montague. If you've been around the STORY community for a while, you are very familiar with his genus. Brad is an incredible creator and storyteller who approaches all of his work with a vision for making the world a better place. Whether it's through his book, Being Better Grown-ups, his wildly successful Kid President video series, or his critically acclaimed children's book, The Circles All Around Us, Brad's passion for guiding people together is deep and compelling. We dug back into the archives, and found this talk from STORY 2018 because as timely as this talk about the future was back in 2018, it's still applicable - possibly even more so - in 2022. There are so many unknowns, uncertainties, disconnections, and fears swirling around these days, but  despite the crushing weight of all these uncertainties, there is still hope because we choose to remember it exists. Listen in.

Welcome to Episode #7 of "The Gospel for Everyone."  In this episode, Lane and Jason will talk about a couple of books we've read so far this year that we think everyone should check out.1.

The past year and a half tested us all but it also brought countless examples of hope and sacrifice. We saw brave Salvation Army officers, staff, volunteers and friends continue to serve and show care in their communities in ways big and small.  We're designating these incredible individuals—nominated by you!—our Caring Heroes. And, as a small gesture of respect and gratitude, we honored them in a live virtual awards ceremony July 23. We named the 2021 Caring Heroes—the brave, compassionate, passionate, uplifting, caring members of our communities. We were inspired by Brad Montague, New York Times bestselling author and creator of Kid President. And we were encouraged and challenged by The Salvation Army's Western Territorial Commander Commissioner Douglas Riley. He thanked the awardees for “loving people who need it—whether they know it or not.” And on this episode of the podcast, we're bringing you his message along with a song by Matt Woods, with accompaniment by Jill Ulmer, titled “Love Changes Everything.”  As the song goes: “Love will never let you be the same.” Enjoy this clip from the awards show and then watch the full replay.

On this episode of FranklinCovey Education's Change Starts Here, host Dustin Odham was joined by Franklin Covey Education President Sean Covey for an introspective look at Covey's career and the organization's mission to “[transform] education around the globe by bringing leadership principles and skills to as many kids, educators and schools as possible.” As usual, the podcast began with the Brad Montague-inspired question of, “Why do you love what you do?” For Covey, it's a simple answer. “I've done a lot of different things in my life. I love working in education,” he said. “These kids are amazing, and I think that there's an identity theft going on in the world where kids are not remembering who they are and the great gifts and potential they have inside. … Everything I write about is all about helping people, especially you, achieve their worth and potential.” Covey and Odham explored Covey's life and career, from being one of nine children of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" author Stephen Covey to playing quarterback for BYU, discovering a passion for working with kids and teens, and writing seminal works on leadership like “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.” The duo also dove into the life of the elder Covey, who Sean said was “no respecter of persons.” “He treated everybody exactly the same,” he said.

Change Starts Here and host Dustin Odham, Thought Leader for FranklinCovey Education, are back with another thought-provoking and inspiring episode – this time featuring a bona fide legend in the field of education.Dr. Christine Rubie-Davies – though she prefers to drop the titles and go by Christine – has spent decades immersed in the world of education and has led the conversation surrounding teacher expectations and their impact on learning, teacher-student relationships and more.She began her career with more than two decades of work in primary school education, then transitioned to a role at New Zealand's University of Auckland, where she currently serves as a professor in the School of Learning, Development and Professional Practice.Taking a cue from past Change Starts Here guest Brad Montague, who prefers to ask people what they love about what they do rather than what they do for a living, Odham posed the same question to Rubie-Davies.“The reason I love what I do is I get to make a difference for kids, still,” she said. “When I went into teaching, that was always my major goal. I wanted to make a difference for every kid in my class, every year.”Odham and Rubie-Davies dove into how she's making that happen with research into teacher expectations and their impact on students and more.

In 2013, a video swept through the internet, bringing joy to all who viewed it. It featured then-11-year-old Robby Novak, dressed to the nines in a suit, tie and sneakers, delivering a pep talk as the now fabled “Kid President.”Brad Montague, Novak's brother-in-law, was part of the dynamic duo that made that video happen. Since, Kid President's videos have been viewed over 100 million times.Montague, whose stated mission these days is to “create stories that cultivate empathy and imagination in kids and former kids,” joined host Dustin Odham on this episode of Change Starts Here to explore how he and his family are “joyfully rebelling” against the way things are to craft a better world.Since Kid President, Montague has authored “Becoming Better Grownups” and helped bring to life “Kid President's Guide to Being Awesome,” and his conversation with Odham centered on ways to focus on love and your “why” as opposed to the simple “what” of your day-to-day journey through life.Montague told a story about how he and Novak met Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who sidestepped Montague's most-dreaded question, “What do you do for a living?,” with a new one – “What do you love about what you do?”“It's really cool when you hear somebody put words to their love,” Montague said. “I'm a words person, so I need to hear those things. I think for any team, anywhere to hear from their fellow team members why they love being with them, why they love the little things about their work. … That breathes life to even more good.”The opinions in this episode do not necessarily reflect those of FranklinCovey or the Change Starts Here Podcast.

What are the milestones that you feel you need to reach before your life feels complete and ordered? How would you like to be remembered after you are gone? What would you risk if you could achieve the life you imagine that your heroes live or lived? Kate asks questions such as these, and more, so that she keeps the inevitability of death close enough to challenge and push her into a more full and aware life today. Following the death of several friends, Kate experienced grief, fear, anxiety, and then liberation from the weight of these feelings by opening herself to death. What are the messages that Kate want you to take away from this conversation and reading her book? 1. Enjoy your life and have fun every day; 2. Remembering your death is the ultimate deadline to motivate you; and 3. Remember that we are souls and we can live the life we desire, if we begin that journey. From a natural curiosity that sent her into a professional work life at the innovation and idea hub of Google, Kate departed the road that many desire into the life that brings her a sense of empowerment, discovery, and wholeness. Though the whole shift emerged from a confrontation with her grief and the motivation to make life matter. We discuss the path to mortality awareness, the cultural issues with framing death, the need to explore other cultures to understand the blessings of the culture of your birth and the limitations, post-traumatic stress & post-traumatic growth, the practice of mortality awareness, and enjoying your life. Bio: Kate Manser is the creator of YOU MIGHT DIE TOMORROW, a radical movement to inspire people to really live before they die. Kate's work as an artist, author, and speaker has touched millions of people around the world, inspiring people like you to embrace death, create meaning, and live for the joy of being alive today. Her new book, also titled YOU MIGHT DIE TOMORROW, was lauded by NYT Bestselling author Brad Montague. She's spoken at Facebook HQ, appeared in Oprah Magazine, and all that jazz. Most of all, Kate is just so happy to be alive.
