Active Mixing - From Boring to Baller Episode Overview In this episode, Michael Curtis shares practical strategies for creating more engaging, dynamic worship mixes. Drawing from his background as a professional bass player and mixer, he explores how intentionality and specificity can transform "boring" mixes into creative, engaging experiences that better serve worship environments. Time Stamps & Key Points Introduction [00:48] Michael introduces the concept of "active mixing" versus boring mixing The challenge: Moving beyond "it sounds fine" to creating engaging, dynamic mixes Creativity as the antidote to boring mixing Creativity Through Structure [01:41] Biblical concept of creation: bringing order from formlessness The playground analogy: Children with fenced playgrounds use 90% of the space vs. 30% without fences "Sometimes what feels like a straight jacket is actually a Narnia closet" Leadership through specificity and making finer distinctions Strategies for Worship Pastors [05:52] Prescriptive leadership can be valuable when appropriate The progression from 10 Commandments (prescriptive) to Sermon on the Mount (descriptive) Matching leadership style to team maturity level Create "sit-down chords" - signals that create clear expectations Setting up rhythms and cues that guide the worship team Organize tracks by function, not just instrument: Percussion: Rhythm-driving elements Foundation: Bass and low-end elements Filler: Pads and ambient elements Leads: Melodic elements that guide congregation Gamify growth paths for volunteers Create progressive learning steps (like unlocking levels in a game) Apply "arbitrary limits" that help beginners master fundamentals before moving on Name and assign musical ownership Clarify who owns each musical element at any given time Consider adding a dedicated "music producer" position Strategies for Musicians [12:36] "Rhythm Randy needs a retirement party" Moving beyond mindlessly strumming the chord chart Playing a part rather than just playing the chart Use the whole playground within boundaries Finding creative ways to express within structure Create "alley-oop" moments Intentional handoffs between instruments Setting up moments for other musicians to shine Beware of "bedroom vacuums" Sounds created in isolation often take up too much sonic space Smaller sonic footprint needed in larger ensembles Interesting is greater than good Focus on creating compelling sounds, not just technically correct ones Hire both "Jekyll and Hyde" Balance between foundational players and texture specialists Strategies for Front of House Engineers [18:57] Be the guide - lead with your decisions Take charge of the mix and make intentional choices Use contrast effectively Create distinction between elements (can't have "close" without "far") Highlight different instruments in different sections Anticipate "oops" moments, don't just react Push faders before transitions, not after they happen Vary verse highlights Intentionally feature different instruments in different verses Keep congregation engaged through variety Develop common tonal language The "5-1-2" system for describing frequency ranges Creating shared vocabulary for sound issues Reference the real Compare your mix to professional recordings Combat ear fatigue by checking against references Mise en place - everything in its place Strategic console layout for efficient mixing Positioning faders for easy access during active mixing Conclusion [24:25] Start with clear direction (10 Commandments approach) then move to principles (Sermon on the Mount) Have the courage to be specific with your team Embrace structure as a pathway to creativity Key Quotes "Sometimes what feels like a straight jacket is actually a Narnia closet." "Move away from playing the chart to playing the part." "It is in that company's best interest to give you a patch that sounds great out of the box, but that's taking up a lot of real estate to make it sound good on its own." "Be the guide, take charge, lead your congregation with your decisions." "There cannot be close if there's not far, there cannot be wide if there isn't narrow." "Interesting is greater than or at least equal to good." Practical Applications For Worship Pastors: Organize tracks by function rather than instrument type Create clear growth paths for volunteers Be appropriately prescriptive with newer team members For Musicians: Consider your sonic footprint within the full band context Play intentional parts, not just the chord chart Create sounds that are interesting, not just technically correct For Sound Engineers: Use your left and right hands strategically on the console Intentionally highlight different instruments in different verses Reference professional mixes to maintain perspective Connect & Continue For more insights on active mixing and creative worship production, connect with Michael Curtis and the Church Front team.

BONUS: The End of Product Management? Three Experts Reveal the Unstoppable Rise of Product Engineers With Anton Zaides, Rafa Paez, and Max Piechota In this BONUS episode, we explore the emerging concept of the Product Engineer with three experts in the field: Anton Zaides, Rafa Paez, and Max Piechota. Together, they discuss how software engineers are evolving beyond just technical skills to embrace product thinking, business understanding, and customer empathy. This shift represents a move toward what they call "M-skilled" professionals who combine technical expertise with product sensibility to create greater impact. The Evolution of Software Engineering "The role of the software engineer is evolving to a product engineer...they understand what to build and why they are building it." Rafa Paez kicks off the conversation by sharing insights from his article on Substack, titled "The Rise of the 100x Product Engineer." He explains how the modern software engineer is taking on greater ownership of their work, focusing not just on writing code but understanding the underlying business reasons for features. This new breed of engineers thinks critically about product metrics, challenges assumptions, and takes extreme ownership of outcomes rather than just outputs. Breaking Product Management "Engineers don't really care about what they work on...but what if they did?" Anton Zaides discusses his provocative Substack article "Product Management is broken, a change is coming," where he challenges the traditional separation between engineers and product decisions. He describes the phenomenon of the "ZOOM-based product manager" who remains disconnected from both users and engineers, and contrasts this with engineers who genuinely care about the products they build. Anton argues that when engineers are invested in the product outcomes, the entire development process improves. For a podcast episode with Anton Zaides about the Product Management is broken article, listen to this Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast episode. Measuring What Matters "We need to measure the product outcome, the customer value and incentivize developers based on that." Max Piechota shares how his journey toward product engineering began through conversations with his CEO about measuring software engineer performance. His research led him to realize that traditional engineering metrics often miss what truly matters - the value delivered to customers. Max advocates for aligning developer incentives with product outcomes rather than just code output, representing a fundamental shift in how we evaluate technical contributions. Catalyzing the Transformation "What helped me change was working with those people that wanted to create products." The conversation turns to practical ways to foster this evolution toward product engineering: Max describes how exposure to product-oriented colleagues and learning about the Lean Startup methodology transformed his perspective as a developer. Anton outlines a three-step approach: helping engineers see metrics and user interactions, building business literacy, and connecting more deeply with the domain. The group discusses the importance of helping engineers understand concepts like gross margin and the AARRR framework (Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Revenue, Referral). Beyond Solutions to Problems "Often we only focus on the solution, without understanding the actual problem we are trying to solve." One crucial insight from the conversation is the need for engineers to take a step back from solution mode and better understand the underlying problems. The panel shares practical tips: Clarify how the business works and identify opportunities for improvement Be thoughtful about how developers are incentivized Connect technical decisions to financial outcomes Focus on landing page conversion and other customer-facing metrics when they're the bottleneck to growth This mindset shift enables engineers to make more strategic decisions about where to invest their technical efforts for maximum impact. About Anton Zaides, Rafa Páez, Max Piechota Anton Zaides is the founder of Manager.dev, where he shares insights about engineering management and product development. With extensive experience in both engineering and product leadership roles, Anton is passionate about bridging the gap between technical execution and product vision.

Let me know your thoughts about the podcast. Thank you for listening!This episode dives deep into the crucial question we often forget to ask ourselves: Why are we dating in the first place?Dating without purpose leads countless people into relationship limbo. When physical attraction drives our decisions, emotions overpower intellect, making it nearly impossible to evaluate compatibility objectively. Coach Ratner examines why so many couples date for years without commitment, stuck in comfortable arrangements that never reach the "never leaving" milestone. Having a trusted dating coach provides invaluable perspective when infatuation blinds us to red flags.  Remember, love isn't blind—infatuation is. Approaching dating with clear intentions dramatically increases your chances of finding someone truly compatible. If marriage is your goal, only pursue exclusive relationships with partners who genuinely have that potential. Your future happiness depends on it. Ready to transform how you approach dating?

Closing Time: Real Estate's Most Unforgettable Final Moments Talk Real Estate Roundtable Recap – April 5, 2025 There's something undeniably exciting about closing day in real estate. But as any seasoned agent will tell you, those final hours before the keys are handed over can also bring some of the most unexpected and unforgettable challenges. In the latest Talk Real Estate Roundtable episode, Sharon McNamara, Broker/Owner of Boston Connect Real Estate, and her co-host Melissa Wallace opened up about the chaos, the laughs, and the lessons they've learned from years of navigating closing day surprises. When the Heat Is On—Literally On one particularly sweltering summer day, Sharon and fellow team member Mary Horton were juggling six closings. During a final walkthrough at a condo in Abington, Mary discovered a main water line had burst—right in front of the unit about to close. “It was like oil bubbling up from the ground,” Sharon said. With limited time and a Friday afternoon working against them, they called in favors from trusted contractors and did what Boston Connect does best—problem-solved under pressure. Their advice? Try to avoid Friday closings when possible. Scheduling mid-week gives agents time to resolve last-minute issues without derailing a client's move-in plans. Spaghetti Sauce, Toilets, and Unwanted Gifts The team shared stories of walking into homes filled with unexpected “gifts” left behind by sellers. From spaghetti sauce stains and dirty refrigerators to a flower planter made out of an old toilet, Melissa summed it up best: “Don't assume the buyer wants your stuff—just ask.” The key takeaway: What may feel sentimental to one person can feel like clutter to another. It's always better to be clear about what stays and what goes well before closing day. The Littlest Things Can Make or Break a Deal From a single overlooked hair in a shower to a drawer left unemptied, Sharon explained how small details can sometimes ignite big emotions—especially in high-stress or fast-moving markets. “In a competitive market, buyers may waive inspections or overpay, and then feel buyer's remorse,” she explained. “Something as small as a missed cleaning item can become a flashpoint if there's already tension.” Melissa added that even experienced agents have had to jump in and do some scrubbing to make things right. “It's about going the extra mile to keep things moving forward.” When Deals Fall Apart—and Come Back Together Not every closing goes according to plan. Sharon recalled a time when a buyer backed out at the very last minute—despite being under agreement for over 60 days. In another case, a new construction home had not one, but two brand-new heating systems fail just before closing. Still, the team stayed the course, and the property finally closed on Sharon's birthday. “It all comes down to professionalism and staying calm,” Sharon said. “We're here to solve problems, not panic.” Realtor, Negotiator… and Sometimes Therapist Whether it's helping a seller cope with a deal falling through or guiding a buyer through the stress of a major life transition, Sharon and Melissa have both worn the “therapist hat” more than once. “Real estate is deeply emotional,” Sharon said. “We're not just selling houses—we're guiding people through major life moments.” From job losses two weeks before closing to selling a home filled with memories, the show reminded listeners how important it is to work with a team that understands the full emotional scope of a real estate transaction. Final Tips from the Roundtable Start purging early. Don't wait until the week of closing to start decluttering. Clarify what stays and what goes. If it's not in writing, don't assume. Stay professional. A calm, respectful relationship between agents helps everyone. Expect the unexpected. From appliance issues to personal quirks, be ready for anything.

Using a sound metaphor, I explain how finding your "signal" (your unique artistic voice) should come before amplifying it with "volume" (technical skills and attention-grabbing techniques).I discuss how our educational systems and industry structures often prioritize making artists fit into production pipelines rather than helping them discover what makes them unique. From early illustration jobs to modern concept art workflows, we've been trained to sublimate our personal style to serve commercial needs. This training creates formulaic approaches that, ironically, are now being replicated by AI systems.The greatest value you can offer as an artist is something that can't be replicated - your unique perspective and voice. While technical skills matter, they should amplify your message rather than replace it. When you examine artists with enduring careers, you'll notice they developed a clear signal first, then found ways to amplify it appropriately for their audience.Finding your signal isn't about verbal articulation - it's about discovering something ephemeral that comes through in your work. It requires stepping back from seeking approval and instead focusing on what genuinely interests you. This might mean temporarily turning down the "volume" on technical impressiveness to better hear your authentic voice.I see this becoming increasingly important in our AI-driven future. While algorithms can replicate formulaic approaches to art, they struggle with authentic perspective and non-verbal expression. Your unique viewpoint - something machines can't replicate because they operate within the constraints of language - will become your greatest asset.This journey isn't straightforward - the search itself shapes your voice. The challenges you overcome while discovering your signal become part of what makes your perspective valuable. Rather than seeking shortcuts, embrace this process of discovery as part of developing your authentic artistic voice.Remember: before worrying about making people look at your art, first determine what you want them to see. Your unique signal, consistently delivered over time, is what will ultimately create lasting connection with your audience.---00:00 Intro01:31 Welcome02:48 The Challenge Of Finding Your Style07:39 The Value of Having a Point of View20:15 What Is Your "Signal"30:30 How To Find "Your" Signal37:03 The Analytical Takeaway41:52 The Simple Takeaway42:12 The Practical Takeaway46:31 The Philosophical Takeaway48:03 Out!---The Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Anita Henderson, known as "The Author's Midwife," who coaches entrepreneurs and C-suite executives to write, publish, and leverage books as powerful marketing tools.As business owners, we often hear about writing a book but struggle with actually completing one. Whether it's feeling overwhelmed by the process or battling imposter syndrome, many of us keep our book ideas tucked away for years. Anita shared how her clients typically spend 9-12 months crafting their books—far from the "write a book in a weekend" myth—and how a well-crafted book can generate leads and opportunities for years to come.What I found most valuable was Anita's approach to entrepreneurship through her own book, "Becoming the Minimalist Entrepreneur." Her philosophy of clarifying, simplifying, and focusing your business resonated deeply with my observations from hundreds of podcast interviews—true success rarely comes from complexity.

In the 4th hour of today's show, the guys discuss the meeting held between Arthur Blank and Kirk Cousins.

Marriage is hard work—but does it have to feel so hard? Many people believe that marriage is just about surviving, that the spark inevitably fades, or that tension and conflict are just part of the deal. But what if marriage isn’t meant to drain us, but to bless us? This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with Arlene Pellicane, author of Making Marriage Easier. After twenty-five years of marriage, Arlene shares real-life stories, biblical wisdom, and practical strategies to help us break free from common struggles—poor communication, tension over differences, lack of intimacy, and parenting stress.
