For 20 years, Walmart has partnered with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation on the Acres for America program, helping protect over 2 million acres of critical land across the U.S. When the program started, the idea was to protect 1 acre of land for every 1 acre Walmart built on. Today it's evolved to about 20-1! Acres for America has preserved ecosystems, bolstered biodiversity, safeguarded clean water, and created recreational spaces for the benefit of both people and wildlife. And we recently shared the exciting news that we've renewed the program for 10 more years, with a $34.5 million pledge. In this episode of the Huddle, Chris West from NFWF and Jen Barnhouse from The Nature Conservancy joined me at the Kings River Preserve, a beautiful 5,000 acre preserve in Northwest Arkansas. We talked about the widespread impact of the Acres for America program, and how conservation isn't just about protecting beautiful places—it's also about sustaining natural resources for future generations. You'll also hear how anyone can support this work, either through small actions like rounding up a purchase or by finding ways to connect with local conservation initiatives. Whether you're passionate about the environment, want to leave a legacy for future generations, or simply enjoy outdoor recreation, this episode is for you!

This week I'm joined by Chris West (http://videonarrative.com) as he shares his  journey of embracing discomfort to live a fulfilling life. Chris has committed to facing fears, uncomfortable situations and fully exploring life which has led to more fulfillment and a life well lived. Chris struggled with personal issues like low self-worth and a need to care for others, which led to feelings of hopelessness, but after many years of personal growth work, he found deeper joy and fulfillment by prioritizing self-care and his own self-love. Chris did this not only in his personal life, but when he recently shifted his business model in a huge way, gaining more freedom for himself and his kids while expanding their capabilities for his clients. BINGO!  He emphasizes taking responsibility for one's own well-being and choices, rather than relying on others or external factors for happiness.Chris West is the founder of Video Narrative, a brand design firm that specializes in growing speaking businesses through brand clarity, speaker demo reels, and website design.   Before working with leading speakers around the world, Chris developed his approach for stories in his graduate work in Narrative Therapy.  Today Chris works alongside thought-leaders to increase their message, clarity, and impact through powerful narratives.   When not telling stories, Chris is out backpacking with his three children, and attending an exhaustive amount of personal development retreats.

As in any industry, the vast majority of businesses in the speaking industry are looking for the answer to the big question: "How do I make more money?"   Depending on who you ask, you can get a wide range of answers, but the core to all of them remains the same. Put simply, you have to differentiate yourself.   Joining us in this episode is someone who's seen this firsthand through his work in the speaking industry, Chris West.   The owner of Video Narrative, Chris has had a front-row seat over the last 10 years as the industry shifted from one of referrals to one that requires more and more sales and marketing effort each day.   In his words, event organizers aren't simply hiring speakers that are recommended to them anymore. They're doing their own research on the speakers available, and to get in front of them, "You have to be unique. You have to become known for something."   Tune in for all of the ways Chris has seen the biggest names in speaking make this happen. This isn't an episode you want to miss!   Show Notes:   ✅ Learn more about Chris and Video Narrative: https://videonarrative.com/

Tom Services talks to German baritone Christian Gerhaher during rehearsals for Alban Berg's Wozzeck at the Royal Opera House. Having recently recorded all the songs of Robert Schumann as well as Mahler, Brahms and Schubert, Christian reveals how he sees the differing role of the singer when performing lieder and opera, and why he believes celebrating the complexity of classical music will secure its future. Tom also meets singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer Rhiannon Giddens whose opera 'Omar' has just been awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Music. The opera tells the story of Omar Ibn Said, a scholar who was one of tens of thousands of enslaved Muslims who were taken to the United States in the 19th century. Rhiannon discusses the power of collaboration, the future of opera and her ongoing mission to reclaim the history of the banjo as an instrument created by black communities.

A major theme of this show is empower regular people with the knowledge necessary to push back against the overreach of the state via police and prosecutors. That's why Hunter was so excited to bring you today's episode with a representative from the organization called Citizens Overseeing Police Oklahoma. The guest today is your everyday Oklahoman who is tired of the rampant corruption and abuse that police and prosecutors of the state get away with on a daily basis. While we could only scratch the surface of the issues facing the state, even the limited dialog should be eye opening for anyone interested in creating a fairer and safer Oklahoma.      ****A NOTE ABOUT TODAY'S SHOW**** Our guest today is remaining anonymous due to legitimate concerns to their safety. Already, law enforcement has engaged in activity that is nothing short of reprisal and harassment for the guest's continued efforts to push back against their abuse of power. As such, the voice you will hear on today's show is AI generated to protect the identity of the guest.    Guest: Representative of the Citizens Overseeing Police Oklahoma   Resources: Citizens Overseeing Police Oklahoma https://www.citizensoverseeing.com/oklahoma/police The Brady List https://giglio-bradylist.com/ *These are all single sources for the names and alleged activity in the episode.

The relationship between songwriters and radio presenters is a special one. Without songwriters, there would be no music for radio stations, and without radio presenters, songwriters wouldn't have the chance to share their music with listeners worldwide. I'm beyond honored to welcome Chris West onto the show, who is the host of the Tripwire on Blue Torch Radio in Australia, for a fabulous conversation. The quote for this episode is by Mark Knopfler: “What you've got to do is to just try and be true to yourself, and get on with the business of writing songs and trying to do the right thing by the song, which is what I've always tried to do. Don't believe your own publicity, just get on with your life.” Chris and I explore this quote from both the radio presenter and songwriter perspectives. So much goes into staying true to songs and ourselves in the music industry, and we chat about this from many angles. Also, we talk about why “genre” is a word that puts songwriters into unnecessary boxes, how Chris selects music for his show, the importance of being kind and supporting others in the industry, and so much more. I loved having Chris on the show, so I hope our conversation inspires you and gives you a glimpse into the special relationship between songwriters and radio presenters in the independent music world.

Michael's new book How to Begin: Start Doing Something that Matters is now available at www.HowToBegin.com. Picture this: King Arthur, the round table, and three knights. These knights are not the ones you've likely heard of; they are Sir Michael, Sir Nigel and Sir Angus - my two brothers and me. The knights ride out and encounter challenges, perils, and traps, but, with daring do and some clever thinking, they sidestep the danger. Finally, they face the dragon, and a battle of wills ensues - the three knights triumph. And now, bedtime. My dad was a great storyteller, and this was the template of a classic story he told. I love stories, I love words, and I love language.  Chris West is the author of Strong Language, and he learned his craft as a copywriter in the advertising business. Now, he helps company leaders elevate and animate the strategic vision of their business with powerful language. Like me, Chris knows there's something magical in language and storytelling.  Chris reads two pages from ‘Where the Wild Things Are' by Maurice Sendak.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge talks to the author of https://www.amazon.com/Strong-Language-Smartest-Cheapest-Marketing-ebook/dp/B09FW6MW1N/ref=sr_1_4?tag=scribemedia-20&dchild=1&qid=1631543786&refinements=p_27:Chris%20West&s=digital-text&sr=1-4&text=Chris%20West&geniuslink=true (Strong Language): The Fastest, Smartest, Cheapest Marketing Tool You're Not Using and CEO of https://www.verbalidentity.com/ (Verbal Identity), Chris West.  Chris shares that he and his company helps businesses use language better. As a niche business, Verbal Identity focuses solely on helping companies earn more customers, loyalty, and sales through effective language. Josh and Chris explore what makes the betterment of language authentic. Many companies feel they're just “okay” with their language, but know there's room for improvement. But how do you improve something like tone and language? Companies should always be authentic to what their brand and mission are – but remain relevant and up to speed on changes with the times.  Chris also shares that most brands have sweated and stressed over how they front face -- everything is curated and tailored. The problem is that they don't have their language dialed in. Being friendly and approachable is the bare minimum. You have to deliberately design language that resonates with your audience. Magic and mechanics are what make language so powerful, Chris explains.  Josh and Chris also explain the process with how Verbal Identity works. Their first meetings with clients are often revealing. While a business owner or marketing executive may know something isn't dialed in with their language, they don't know why. Chris helps to diagnose the issues with a brand's language and then come up with a writing framework that they can use going forward. Writing for your company should always create a clear picture of who you are and how you sound via tone. Verbal Identity's work creates more customers and deepens loyalty for the businesses they work with. They create language style guides for brands so that when they're done refacing the brand's tone and language, they can continue being consistent with their messaging. Consistency is key, Chris shares, and he teaches brands ‘how to fish'. He wants them to know how to design their language for years to come. Their style guides are bespoke and curated personally for their clients. They can write 40-page guides or 8-page frameworks depending on the needs for the business as well as its size and vertical. You have to paint a three-level picture with your writing to make your ‘voice' unique; what world do you believe in, what do you stand for, and what do you stand against? Want to learn more?

Leadership influence and language are intrinsically linked Businesses spend time, money and attention on visual identity but what about verbal identity? It's a missing link in leadership frameworks.Language matters. From the disruptive to the dreary, language frames the experience for those both inside and outside of an organisation. With a background in physiology and computer sciences, Chris West leverages his rational thinking to bring the magic and mechanics of language to businesses around the world, helping brands to craft and communicate a verbal identity. Here he shares how words build worlds and language drives change. Why you should listen: a common language is crucial to corporate culture  Leadership communication has the power to help or hurt How Elon Musk uses language to shape his companies' brands The change Elon made when discussing the future of ‘humanity' to the future of ‘consciousness'. We explore leadership responsibilities around language An expanded leadership perspective to help find your voice  World-building words are a leadership strength  Does your corporate culture know what it stands for - and against?

In today's episode, Elzie talks to Chris West, the best-selling author of Strong Language: The Fastest, Smartest, Cheapest Marketing Tool You're Not Using and CEO of Verbal Identity, specializing in corporate narrative, brand voice guidelines, and writer training.  Chis talks about how language is a superpower and the most underused tool in business. In the “What is the Stupidest Thing You've Done” segment, he emphasizes the need to understand as much about business before becoming an entrepreneur. He explains the concept of “founderitis” and offers three tips to help reign in your ideas.  Chris stresses the importance of consistency throughout all aspects of business and the value of human relationships. Highlights: 02:14 I don't believe sales is selling people stuff they don't want. I think sales is a transfer of confidence. It's about the stuff that you know is good and you know that they need.  03:59 Good businesses have 20 stories to tell; great businesses tell one story.  06:02 Know your vision. Overall what do you want to get to? What's your view of the world? What world do you believe in? And if you believe in that world, what do you want to stand for and what do you want to stand against? And does your idea help you with that? 09:00 My dumbest idea is probably leaving a business before I had business skills.  12:12 I would say listen and just ask open questions. They're not techniques; they're things that I think could really help people. 12:44 I think the thing you've got to have is consistency. In sales, you can't stop. It's going to be 99 phone calls, and they're all going to be rubbish. But it's the 100th, right, and if you don't make the 99th you're not going to get to the 100th and you've got to do it consistently.  13:17 Success for me will be having created really wonderful relationships with people who would identify themselves as clients that move beyond that transactional.
