Leadership in corrections doesn't come from a badge or title—it emerges from integrity, trust, and the willingness to shield your team during difficult times. Matthew Hyde, leadership strategist and author of "From Rookie to Rank," shares his remarkable journey from new correctional officer to CERT Commander without formal rank.Matthew's story begins with an unexpected path into corrections after brief experiences in college and the National Guard. Within six months of starting at a county jail, he was selected as a Field Training Officer, discovering his natural talent for developing others. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Matthew discusses becoming the first non-ranking CERT Commander in his department's 25-year history. Rather than attempting to assert dominance over higher-ranking team members, he built trust by acknowledging their experience and seeking their input. "I established that when you walk into the CERT locker room, there is no rank—we're just positions," he explains, detailing how this approach eventually earned him respect across generational divides.Perhaps most valuable are Matthew's insights on leading through organizational challenges. He candidly shares his experience protecting his team during difficult administrations, emphasizing that when leadership falters from above, frontline supervisors must continue shielding their staff. "You still got to lead. Your people depend on you," he insists, offering practical wisdom for navigating politics while maintaining operational excellence.Whether you're aspiring to move up the ranks or seeking to improve your leadership effectiveness where you stand, this conversation delivers actionable strategies for building high-performance correctional teams.

I saw a man once walk out of the Missouri State Penitentiary after three decades with a few dollars and no plan. I  remember that moment—and this is why I am glad Missouri has set out to build something better. Come behind the scenes with us at the MCA/MPPOA fall conference for a candid tour of what's actually working: “soft handoffs” between institutions and field teams, mental health continuity that doesn't collapse on day one, and an immersive training academy built inside a retrofitted prison that turns rookies into capable, confident officers.We sit down with probation and parole pros and they show how ORAS‑driven case plans tackle real barriers—transportation, IDs, phones, and family support—before release. Their ICTS success stories are honest and hard‑earned: late‑night ER advocacy, field pickups when groups are missed, and quiet graduations that mean someone's eight months sober and off supervision for good. Then we head to Cameron, where the Academy for Excellence in Corrections blends daily defensive tactics, cohort rotations, and hands‑on modules in a dedicated training unit filled with authentic property and safe contraband. It's a modern cadence that builds muscle memory, policy fluency, and the kind of calm that keeps staff safer—and staying longer.We also open the notebook on today's threat landscape. A gang SME explains why hybrid gangs and flexible alliances now drive Missouri's dynamics, why word choice can keep a conversation alive, and how intel shared through the Midwest Gang Investigators Association makes patrol, probation, and custody safer. From motorcycle club rivalries to cross‑agency networking, the theme is collaboration—because corrections holds long‑term insights that street partners need, and training only sticks when it's tethered to the worksite.If you care about reentry that lasts, training that works, and safetySend us a text PepperBallFrom crowd control to cell extractions, the PepperBall system is the safe, non-lethal option.OMNIOMNI is cutting-edge software designed to track inmates and assets within your prison or jail.

The blog postIn this episode of Lean Blog Audio, Mark Graban reads and reflects on his recent article, From Know-It-All to Learn-It-All: Leadership Lessons from Mistakes.Drawing from themes in his Shingo Award–winning book The Mistakes That Make Us and interviews with leaders Phillip Cantrell and Damon Lembi on My Favorite Mistake, Mark explores the transformative shift from being a leader who must always be right to one who is willing to learn.You'll hear stories of humility in action—from Cantrell's reinvention of Benchmark Realty after the housing collapse to Lembi's recovery from near-bankruptcy during the dot-com bust. Both leaders learned that progress doesn't come from certainty, but from curiosity, reflection, and the courage to say, “I might be wrong.”Mark also connects these lessons to healthcare leader Dr. John Toussaint's evolution from “all-knowing” executive to facilitator and coach—showing how psychological safety, experimentation, and evidence-based learning drive true continuous improvement.If you've ever felt pressure to have all the answers, this episode is a reminder that the best leaders aren't know-it-alls—they're learn-it-alls.Listen, reflect, and consider: how might humility strengthen your own leadership practice?

Joshua Ryle brings over two decades of corrections experience to this deeply insightful conversation about the hidden psychological patterns that shape corrections culture. From his early days at the Tennessee Department of Corrections to his current role as a training sergeant, Ryle has observed firsthand how the corrections environment creates behavioral patterns that affect officers both professionally and personally.At the heart of this episode is Ryle's new training program focused on workplace toxicity in corrections. He explains how officers spend their entire workday in a hypervigilant, fight-or-flight state that gradually transforms how they interact with everyone around them. This physiological reality leads to communication challenges, negative filtering, and self-sabotaging behaviors that follow officers home and contribute to concerning wellness statistics in the corrections profession.What makes Ryle's approach unique is his focus on behavioral science and practical solutions. Rather than simply identifying problems, he provides clear strategies for shifting from self-criticism to self-reflection, improving communication despite technological limitations, and creating a culture where colleagues support rather than undermine each other. Ryle's program has gained such recognition that it's now being implemented nationwide through ARC Tactical.Whether you work in corrections or are interested in workplace culture transformation, this episode provides valuable insights into how awareness and intentional behavior change can create healthier environments in even the most challenging professions.

The banjo/guitar duo of Mark and Samatha Cantrell came by BSST at the ESMF to talk of what its life to play music as a married couple.

My guest for Episode #325 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Phillip Cantrell, EVP of Strategy at United Real Estate, founder of Benchmark Realty, and author of Failing My Way to Success: Lessons from 42 Years of Winning and Losing in Business. EPISODE PAGE WITH VIDEO, TRANSCRIPT, AND MORE Phillip reflects on more than four decades of entrepreneurial ups and downs across printing, real estate, and related ventures. He openly shares how devastating mistakes—including putting “all his eggs in one basket”—forced him to reinvent his approach. What looked like a catastrophe in 2007–2008 became the turning point that fueled Benchmark Realty's rapid growth to nearly 2,000 agents. “Failure is going to happen. If you don't make mistakes, you're not doing anything.” In this conversation, Phillip and I talk about the difference between scaling vs. scrambling, the dangers of playing “not to lose” instead of “playing to win,” and why documenting processes is essential for growth. He also explains why your only real competitor is “the man in the mirror” and how daily reflection helps him learn from mistakes and avoid repeating them. This episode is packed with timeless lessons on leadership, resilience, and learning from failure—whether you're in real estate or any other industry. “If you play not to lose in business, you're already losing.” Questions and Topics: What's your “favorite mistake” from your career? How did putting “all your eggs in one basket” impact Benchmark Realty? What did you learn from losing agents and clients during the mortgage crisis? How did you develop the flat-fee brokerage model, and what risks did you see at the time? Did you ever doubt whether that new model would work? How did you rebuild Benchmark from five agents to nearly 2,000? Why is it important to look outside your own industry for best practices? What do you mean by the difference between scaling and scrambling? How does documenting processes create better outcomes? Why do you say your only real competitor is “the man in the mirror”? What role has reflection and journaling played in your leadership growth? What advice would you give younger entrepreneurs about learning from mistakes?

Philip's Business Journey and Nashville Insights In this episode, I sit down with Philip, an entrepreneur with an impressive track record of founding or leading 10 businesses across commercial printing and real estate. With a 4-4-2 record of wins, losses, and draws, Philip embodies the resilience every leader needs. Today, he's the semi-retired CEO of Benchmark Realty, the largest real estate brokerage in Tennessee. Philip shares candid insights on Nashville's explosive growth, its infrastructure challenges, and what the city needs to thrive in the years ahead. Failure as a Teacher Philip and I explore why failure should never be the final word, but rather a stepping stone. Drawing from his military background, Philip explains how mastering the mundane and making incremental improvements create lasting success. We both agreed that resilience is not about avoiding challenges, but embracing them as learning opportunities that sharpen your leadership and strengthen your business. Growth Through Adversity We dive deep into why true business growth rarely happens during comfort and ease. Philip and I shared stories of entrepreneurs who found creative ways to market themselves, including a startup cleaning business that used electrical tape as signage. These scrappy beginnings sparked a broader conversation about how society often fails to encourage entrepreneurs. Our conclusion: leaders must balance critical thinking with encouragement, because innovation thrives where support exists. Stepping Outside the Comfort Zone Philip offered a powerful reminder: success lives outside our comfort zones. He compared critics to chickens pecking at those who dare to stand out, urging us to see criticism as a sign we're on the right path. He stressed that money is not the end goal, but rather the measure of how much value and service we bring to others. True business and life success, he explained, is rooted in serving people first. Legacy and Lessons for the Next Generation Our conversation closed on a reflective note. Philip shared why he dedicated two years to writing his book—a legacy project to pass down four decades of hard-earned wisdom to future generations. He wants millennials, in particular, to access the kind of business education he wished he had early in life. While he admits the book was never about profit, it's about equipping others to sidestep avoidable mistakes and find their own success path. For those interested, Philip's book and insights are available at phillipcantrell.com.   Failing My Way to Success Lessons From 42 Years of Winning (and Losing) in Business Book Description : Success doesn't follow a straight line—and failure isn't the enemy.

Send us a textWhat does it take to navigate the most dangerous prisons in America while maintaining both safety and humanity? Pete Bloodworth's extraordinary 35-year journey through corrections offers profound insights into this question.From his early days as a Marine Corps sniper to becoming one of corrections' most influential tactical innovators, Bloodworth's story reveals how military discipline transformed his approach to prison management. "When you actually study the science behind it," he explains about his pioneering work with less-lethal tools, "it's not to say other methods are bad, it's to strengthen the things that are their weaknesses." This pragmatic philosophy guided his development of protocols that revolutionized how officers respond to violent situations throughout the Federal Bureau of Prisons.Bloodworth's most compelling lessons come from his time at USP Marion, where staff still carried the emotional weight of the murders of three colleagues. There, he learned that leadership means more than tactical expertise—it requires taking responsibility for everyone's safety. "When you're handling it as an officer, you're in the now," he reflects. "When you become the supervisor, the responsibility of being the leader really starts hitting because it's your responsibility to make sure everybody goes home safe."Throughout our conversation, Bloodworth shares pivotal moments that shaped his understanding of corrections, from managing riots at FCI Phoenix to learning that security is just "one spoke on the wheel" of effective prison management. His later work in private corrections challenges common misconceptions, revealing how these facilities often employ veteran wardens with decades of experience across multiple systems.Whether you're a corrections professional, considering the field, or simply interested in understanding what happens behind prison walls, this episode offers rare insight into the complex world of modern corrections.

Send us a textWhat makes a truly effective correctional leader? In this thought-provoking episode, Michael Cantrell draws from decades of experience to unpack the three essential qualities officers desperately want from their supervisors: knowledge, willingness, and courage.Correctional officers seek leaders who possess deep knowledge about policies, case law, and facility operations—creating a foundation of confidence and security. They need supervisors willing to step up during challenging situations and act as shields, protecting their teams from both unreasonable administrative demands and front-line dangers. Most critically, they require leaders with the courage to act decisively when faced with difficult circumstances.Cantrell explores how successful correctional leaders maintain clear visions that extend beyond themselves, establishing high expectations that motivate their teams toward excellence. He examines how a leader's treatment of others—from subordinates to superiors to inmates—reveals their character and shapes the entire facility's culture. The conversation delves into how effective leaders combat the pervasive discouragement that can infiltrate correctional work by highlighting purpose and meaning. Even when results aren't immediately visible, the work of maintaining public safety represents a vital contribution to society that leaders must continually reinforce.Perhaps surprisingly, Cantrell emphasizes the crucial role of appropriate humor in correctional leadership. The ability to find joy amidst challenges creates resilience against the inherent stresses of the profession and builds stronger connections among team members.Whether you're a seasoned correctional supervisor or aspiring to leadership, this episode provides valuable insights for building stronger, more effective teams in one of society's most challenging environments.

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief sits down with his great friend, the Bourbon Baroness – April Weller Cantrell.

From promising craft upstarts to iconic brands under pressure, the discussion pulls no punches while offering a clear-eyed look at where whiskey stands—and where it may be headed.

Taste – Rich caramel, dried fruit, and cocoa balanced by vanilla, nutty oak, and subtle rye spice. Finish – Long and warming with dark chocolate, seasoned oak, and a touch of sweet tobacco. Big Chief and April dive deep into the realities of whiskey's recent hardships—distilleries shuttering, brands consolidating, and shifting consumer demand. But it's not all gloom. The two explore what these struggles mean for the future, the resilience still alive in the industry, and the lessons whiskey lovers can take away from past downturns. This episode is equal parts hard truth and hope, poured neat with passion and authenticity. Whether you're a casual drinker or a seasoned enthusiast, you'll walk away with a sharper understanding of whiskey's challenges and the enduring spirit behind the dram. So pour a glass, sit back, and saddle up with The Whiskey Trip for one hell of a ride.

Emily and Jon sat down a few days after wrapping up the 76th iteration of Seafair, and there was plenty to unpack about this enormous summer celebration. The two discuss her career path which started in broadcast news and led to organizations focused on this place; taking the Torchlight Parade to the new waterfront; her favorite Seafair moments and those that caused a little bit of stress; getting Nascar racer Jimmie Johnson into a hydroplane cockpit;  the itinerary for her perfect Saturday in Seattle and much more. Join us for Seattle City Makers with Jon Scholes and guest Emily Cantrell.

The kids aren't drinking or having sex - are they okay? Cantrell proves that as usual, the coverup is worse than the crime; Why did Putin invade Ukraine when he did? Don't take his word for it; Illegal immigrant kills three in Florida, sparks orgy of finger-pointing; Why isn't anyone mad about Taylor Swift's sexy new pictures?

If only she had just conducted her alleged affair with a little less fraud, she might not be looking at jail time

How did Mayor LaToya Cantrell climb so high, just to fall so far? We talk to Tyler Bridges, staff writer for The Times Picayune | New Orleans Advocate and author of several books.

Send us a textLieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman brings decades of expertise to this powerful conversation about the psychology of violence, trauma response, and the vital role corrections professionals play in society.Drawing from his groundbreaking research that shaped books like "On Combat" and "On Killing," Grossman frames correctional officers as society's essential "sheepdogs" – those who willingly face danger so others don't have to. "They are truly God's agent to do good in this world," he reflects, highlighting how corrections work balances public safety with offering second chances at redemption.The discussion delves deep into practical tools for managing the unique psychological challenges of corrections work. From techniques to prevent PTSD (like controlled breathing exercises and using water as an emotional "reset button") to cognitive behavioral strategies for managing stress reactions, Grossman offers actionable insights born from his extensive research. He emphasizes the importance of self-control: "Nobody ever respects our temper tantrum; they respect our calm."Most surprising is Grossman's compelling research on sleep deprivation, revealing how inadequate sleep dramatically increases risks for PTSD, depression, and suicide – crucial information for those working overtime and irregular shifts. His practical sleep hygiene recommendations aren't merely for comfort but potentially life-saving interventions for professionals regularly exposed to trauma.Throughout the conversation runs a thread of purpose and meaning. "Sometimes the greatest love is not to sacrifice your life but to live a life of sacrifice," Grossman notes, validating the profound impact of daily corrections work that often goes unrecognized by society. Whether preventing crime, facilitating rehabilitation, or protecting communities, corrections professionals provide an essential service worthy of recognition and support.Ready to better understand the psychological impacts of your work and discover practical tools for resilience?

Send us a textHow do you talk to people about God? Those conversations in my experience typically end up not productive. Maybe that means we're doing it wrong. Perhaps we're all talk and no show. What is God's form of evangelism that is presented in the Bible?We are called to be sincere seekers of God. Not just with lip service. The instruction of Christ is to be changed into a new person. With that change comes a renewing of your mind. Ultimately, the end goal is to become the best person you can be. You cannot achieve it alone, you have to have the example of Jesus to follow. What do we learn of Jesus's interactions in the form of His evangelism? He not only taught wisdom and instructed after righteousness, but He was the prime example of how to live and be one with God. Grumble in your work? Unhappy with a change at home? Lost your job? Your dream job making you upset at life? To be changed into a person of content is where happiness and perseverance reside. Andy Cantrell is a minister at Northwest Church of Christ in Minnesota.

Mayor Cantrell extended a contract with IV Waste for the rest of 2025 after a court loss. We'll talk with Councilmember-at-Large JP Morrell about the whole saga

Send us a textWhat if everything we thought we knew about training correctional officers was based on flawed assumptions? In this eye-opening conversation with Myles Cook, we explore how questioning basic training objectives can transform outcomes across corrections.Miles brings 15 years of diverse experience spanning corrections, patrol, narcotics, investigations, and academy instruction to tackle one of our profession's most fundamental challenges - training that actually works. With a master's degree, military service, and recognition as one of the International Association of Police Chiefs' 40 Under 40 Award recipients, Myles understands both theory and practical application.The conversation dives deep into how objective-based training has revolutionized physical fitness programs at his academy, resulting in remarkable 34-38% improvement rates across all fitness metrics. Rather than forcing everyone through identical workouts, their individualized approach ensures every recruit progresses at their optimal pace - creating not just fitter officers, but lifelong healthy habits.We explore why corrections training often gets stuck in outdated patterns, from focusing on policy over actual ethics to teaching shooting techniques that don't match real-world needs. Myles challenges listeners to look beyond their field for solutions, whether that's learning from athletic coaches for fitness training or competitive shooters for firearms instruction.Perhaps most valuable is Myles' framework for problem-solving: questioning assumptions, reframing problems, and finding innovative solutions by focusing on the true objective rather than apparent issues. His classic elevator example demonstrates how sometimes the real solution isn't making things faster, but making the experience better.For any corrections professional who's sat through mandatory training, wondering "what's the point?" - this episode offers a refreshing perspective and practical tools to transform your approach to teaching and learning.

Cantrell back in the news for many reasons but mostly her new hairstyle.

Let's try to understand this - Mayor Cantrell created a fake emergency so she could award a no-bid contract to an unqualified political ally? Did we get that right?
