Patt shares how his pursuit of purpose and performance once led him to burnout — and how learning to say “no” became an act of worship. Together, they unpack what it means to live a life of holy ambition, to hear God's voice amidst noise, and to redefine success beyond productivity. This episode challenges listeners to examine their pace, protect what truly matters, and pursue a life of alignment over achievement.TakeawaysSaying “yes” to everything isn't obedience.True success is measured by alignment, not output.God's voice often contrasts with worldly ambition.Discipline means protecting what matters most.Health, rest, and family are spiritual priorities.You can't serve others from an empty tank.Obedience sometimes looks like slowing down.Productivity doesn't equal purpose.Growth without boundaries leads to burnout.God can do more with your obedience than with your effort.Sound Bites“Obedience almost ruined my career—but it saved my soul.” “You can't gain the world and keep your peace.” “God doesn't need your hustle; He wants your heart.”Chapters00:00 Introduction — Meeting Patt Barrett 02:45 Growing Up in Faith and Music 07:10 Discovering God's Voice in a New Way 11:20 Songwriting, Words, and Spiritual Connection 14:35 The Role of Health and Rhythm in Creativity 20:00 Learning to Participate Fully in Life 23:45 Redefining ‘Opportunity' and Saying No 28:00 The Difference Between Ambition and Obedience 33:15 The Hidden Cost of Success 36:40 God's Voice vs. Your Voice 40:00 Living Intentionally and in Tension 42:15 The Freedom in Limitation 45:00 “I've Got a Fire” — The Story Behind the Album 47:00 Closing Reflections: Success Is Different===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Companies keep approaching AI the way they approached every other tech rollout: install it, train on it, expect immediate returns. But AI isn't software. It's imperfect by design, doesn't follow a predictable implementation curve, and the gap between what leadership promised the board and what's actually happening is becoming a serious problem. In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with Chris Gee, founder of Chris Gee Consulting and strategic advisor to Ragan's Center for AI Strategy. Chris has survived four career reinventions driven by technological disruption—from watching his graphic design degree become obsolete the day he graduated to now helping organizations navigate the shift to agentic AI. His motto, "copilot, not autopilot," frames the entire conversation. Chris and Dan dig into why AI adoption is stalling—because companies are treating transformation like a switch to flip rather than a capability to build. They explore the parallel to 1993's Internet boom and why the adoption curve is right on schedule despite executive frustration. The conversation gets practical: Chris shares how he built an AI agent named "Alexa Irving" for client onboarding, and they tackle whether doom-and-gloom predictions from AI CEOs are helping or hurting the people who actually need to use these tools. Listen in and hear about... Why the adoption curve for AI mirrors the early Internet The $17 trillion argument against AI replacing all jobs (hint: someone has to buy things) How prompting skills aren't going away Building agentic AI with guardrails: Chris's "Alexa Irving" experiment Why "copilot, not autopilot" is more than a slogan—it's a survival strategy The skills gap nobody's addressing and why we need more brains who understand AI, not fewer Notable Quotes "My motto is copilot, not autopilot. I wholeheartedly believe that we are going to make the most progress using AI in tandem—where humans focus on the things that we do well and we use AI for the things it does better than we do." — Chris Gee [04:19] "17 is $17 trillion—that's what the American consumer spends per year. 70 is the percentage of US GDP that represents. And zero is the amount of money that AI chatbots, LLMs, and agents have to spend." — Chris Gee [23:57] "Your ability was never simply in your ability to string together words and phrases, but to translate experiences or emotions and create connection with other humans." — Chris Gee [36:44] "It's not thinking and it never will be thinking. So if we understand that, then we understand it won't be thinking like a human." — Chris Gee [1:07:00] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Chris Gee Chris Gee Consulting | chrisgee.me Chris Gee | LinkedIn The Intelligent Communicator Newsletter | chrisgee.me (sign up on website) Timestamps 0:00:00 AI Transformation: Hype vs. Reality in Communications0:06:00 Human Touch vs. Automation in Service Jobs0:12:40 Early Career Transformation & Adapting to Technology0:18:00 AI Adoption Curve: Early Adopters and Laggards0:23:30 Tech Disruption, Job Fears, and Economic Impact0:29:10 Prompting and Obstacles to AI Adoption0:34:45 Redefining Skill Sets & Human Value with AI0:40:45 Efficiency, Productivity, and Creativity with AI Tools0:46:20 Rethinking Work: Flexible Schedules & Four-Day Weeks0:51:39 Practical AI Use Cases: Experiment and Upgrade0:55:11 Agentic AI: Autonomous Agents and Guardrails1:01:29 Autonomous Agents: Oversight, Guardrails, and Risks1:08:15 AI Is Imperfect: Why Human Judgment Remains Essential1:14:16 AI Quirks, Prompting Challenges, and Adoption Friction1:19:41 Wrap-Up: Finding Chris Gee & Newsletter/Prompt Suggestions1:21:18 Final Thoughts & Episode Closing (Notes co-created by Human Dan, Claude, and Castmagic) Learn more about your ad choices.

In episode 102 Theresa and Kathryn talk with Dr. Rhoda Bernard—singer, pianist, educator, and founding Managing Director of the Berklee Institute for Accessible Arts Education—to explore what truly accessible music education looks like in today's classrooms. Rhoda shares her journey through music teacher identity and her deep work in designing arts education programs that meaningfully include learners with disabilities. She breaks down common barriers students face—both visible and invisible—and offers powerful mindset shifts to help teachers move from deficit-based thinking to asset-based, student-centered instruction.Throughout the conversation, Rhoda provides practical, immediately usable strategies for increasing accessibility in any music setting, from general music to ensembles. She discusses the importance of multimodal teaching (especially visuals), anticipating barriers during planning, and “messing with the notation” to support diverse learners. Rhoda also illuminates how inclusive practices naturally foster student ownership, agency, and community—benefiting all musicians, not just those with disabilities. Her new book, Accessible Arts Education: Principles, Habits, and Strategies to Unleash Every Student's Creativity and Learning, offers an even deeper dive into these ideas and features first-person perspectives from artists with disabilities.

Discover the Venice that most tourists miss – the actual canals that Abbot Kinney built in 1905, hidden just blocks from the boardwalk's chaos. Johnny Mac explores these unexpected European waterways before heading to Abbot Kinney Boulevard, where trendy boutiques, vegan restaurants, and coffee culture define modern Venice. From the quiet reflection of morning on the canals to the curated commerce of the boulevard to the carnival atmosphere of the beach, Venice compresses California's contradictions into a few walkable square miles. It's expensive, chaotic, beautiful, and troubled – quintessentially LA.

Tahira Endean is the Author of Intentional Event Design, “Our Professional Opportunity” and Our KPI is Joy, Using Live Events to Catalyse, Happiness, Productivity and Trust. She is also the Co-founder of Strategy Table – helping companies Transform Team Dynamics Through Expert Meeting Facilitation. Tahira is a curious event designer and education curator for the MICE industry. She is passionate about global travel, intentional event design and the integration of technology into our lives and events to enhance the human experience. Tahira wore her “Association Hat” as Head of Events for SITE from 2019 through the pandemic and until we returned to events fully in 2023. Change is inevitable, and in 202,3 Tahira put her passion for life-long learning into practice to earn an MSc in Creativity and Change Leadership. Tahira continues to educate the next generation, teaching Event Strategy and Design at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Tahira Endean Deeply committed to the industry, Tahira has been recognised for a range of contributions, including 2022 Influencers with Northstar Meetings, SmartMeetings – Women in Meetings Visionary (2021), MeetingsToday Top 20 Trendsetter (2018), a MeetingsNet Changemaker (2016), the MPI BC Chapter Mentor of the Year (2018), among others.  In 2015, Tahira was inducted into the Meetings Canada Hall of Fame in the Big Idea category.  Driven by a fascination with what we are learning about neuroscience and the power of the five senses to enhance memory, knowledge retention, and improve connections, she is continually seeking appropriate ways to design the most relevant incentive, meeting and event environments.  Tahira also loves travel, cooking, time with her family, and anything with bubbles! Our KPI is Joy Tahira speaks to Subhanjan about why humans connect and that the experience of attendees and participants at events should be the paramount criterion for event design. Ultimately, people want to connect and experience empathy and joy at such gatherings. This is the subject of her book “Our KPI is Joy”. Events are costly, and when organisers plan them, they typically look at factors such as display effectiveness, website functionality, technological efficiency and a host of other such criteria. But they ought to spend at least a tiny amount of their resources on thinking about the human experience. The customer journey starts with the anticipation phase, when they start packing for the journey to the event. Great events should make the arrival, the registration, and the welcome- all of these memorable experiences for the attendee. After all, out of three or four-day events, most people tend to remember only six minutes of the entire engagement after a while. Run time – 01:02:18 mins.

Renowned creative visionary Jason Anello joins us for a lively, insightful exploration of the intersections between Italian American culture and modern business. We open with stories from the alcohol industry—where compliance issues ultimately forced a project to relocate from New Jersey to Delaware—and use those moments to delve into the art of carving out a niche and translating the American market to Italian partners. Through humor and candid reflection, Anello shows how authenticity can thrive even in the most complicated spaces. Criticism, he reminds us, is inevitable—but often a sign that something is working. Drawing on ventures like Forking Tasty and his new Red Sauce project, Jason highlights the creative spark at the center of his work and the unexpected encouragement hidden in the reactions of so-called haters. From Paisani Pops, those pocket-sized Italian American lollipops, to the tradition of gifting homemade limoncello, our conversation celebrates the joy of making, sharing, and expressing cultural identity. We travel from Italy's agricultural heritage to America's beloved red-sauce joints, reflecting on family roots in Lazio, the enduring charm of classic eateries, and the challenges they face today. Whether discussing design, hospitality, or the soul of a neighborhood restaurant, Anello underscores the lasting importance of genuine interaction and thoughtfully crafted experiences. The result is a heartfelt journey through tradition, innovation, and community—an ode to the creative spirit at the center of Italian American life.    HIS SOCIALS:  Instagram: @forkingtasty Instagram: @janello    HIS WEBSITE: https://www.theredsaucemap.com/   HOSTS: John Viola Patrick 0'Boyle   SPECIAL GUEST:  Jason Anello   Producer: Nicholas Calvello-Macchia

Creative Thinking: A coach's perspective by André P. Walton https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Thinking-perspective-Andr%C3%A9-Walton/dp/1068525622 Hiredrandre.com Plan4change.org Why does creativity seem so mysterious—even magical—yet feel out of reach for so many of us? In this powerful and thought-provoking book, Creative Thinking: A Coach's Perspective, André Walton unpacks the truth: creativity isn't just for artists, inventors, or “special people.” It's a way of thinking—a mindset we can all access, nurture, and apply in our everyday lives. Blending science, coaching, storytelling, and a deep dive into history, Walton takes us on a journey from the dawn of human evolution to modern-day challenges, showing that creativity has always been central to who we are. Whether you’re a coach, leader, or lifelong learner, you'll discover how group dynamics, social pressures, and personal mindset all influence creative expression—and how to shift them in your favor. Packed with relatable insights, practical exercises, and real-life coaching moments, this book reveals how creative thinking can unlock personal transformation, emotional resilience, and even joy. It's not about being a genius—it's about thinking differently to see more clearly, connect more deeply, and act more boldly. If you're ready to tap into one of the most powerful tools you already possess, this is your invitation to begin. About the author At the core André Walton is an inventor and entrepreneur. He spent two decades building manufacturing and marketing businesses in the UK (where he was born) and in the US. André later graduated with a Ph.D. from the University of Nevada, Reno, having researched what makes people and organizations creative, and what discourages their creativity. André developed the concept of Spherical Thinking and also the Group Affiliation Model of Creativity which helps explain many anomalies of the creative process including shortcomings of traditional brainstorming, as well as the traditional association between creativity and mental illness. He has also been an active researcher in the field of social psychology and law and is a consultant for the National Judicial College as well as Visiting Professor of Entrepreneurship and Creativity at the Newport Business School.

Hi Creative Cutie! The holidays...They're often a time that can trigger old wounds of all sorts. Definitely not the least of which, are wounds around our bodies and body image. I wanted to reshare this episode with you to help you gain some awareness and tools to heal your relationship to your body and gain Body Neutrality. More info below. I love you and happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate!Original Description:TW: Eating Disorders and Body image.Today's guest is Jessi Kneeland. They are a queer and non-binary writer, speaker, podcaster and body image coach. Jessi started off as a physical trainer-- working with everyone from celebrities to supermodels and they found something interesting -no matter the body type, their clients always thought their bodies were not enough. This led Jessi to dig into their own body image, traumas and past to finally discover what helped them start their healing journey, which is something they call, Body Neutrality. As someone who has long suffered with a bevy of body image issues including eating disorders, disordered eating and just generally never feeling Like I have the “right” body…I can honestly say I find Jessi's work revolutionary and healing in such a deep way, it's hard to really put into words. Between their book Body Neutral, which comes out this June (and I highly recommend you pre-order now) and this conversation, I feel like I'm finally on a path to do some deep healing and rewiring in this area. I hope this chat will do the same for you.From today's chat, you'll learn:What exactly body neutrality isHow to stop self-objectifyingHow to build up self-advocacy and become your own protectorHow to get to the bottom of your body storyHow to distinguish body positivity from body neutralityWhat happens to your creativity when you take the focus off of how you lookOrder Jessi's book here: https://www.jessikneeland.com/product-page/sustainable-movement-a-body-neutral-guide-to-health-fitness 

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!!!!We have an incredible episode for you this week with a very special guest, Cornell Jones!

If you've got something coming up that feels insurmountable, then today on The Daily Pep! I'm sharing a story from my own life that I think might help.

*. REPUBLISHED with the CORRECT audio, sorruy about that!!! *There are Two Ways to Live Life; as a victim of circumstance or as the badass you really are. My guest this week, Erin Brennan, has lived by and embodied this mantra throughout her life.  She reminds up that the choice is ours - you can react to life's curveballs or you can grab them and throw them back. Because when you embrace the unknown, you play by your rules. Erin is a Creative Consultant who blends the worlds of brand strategy, design thinking, linguistics, neuroscience, and a few other things to help her clients move mountains. She also believes in magic and tries to sprinkle it into the lives of others often. On this week episode, Erin and I have way too much fun talking entrepreneurship, tapping into our authentic creativity, and why It takes guts to stand out. Even more so to stand still long enough to hear what your soul's been trying to say. Erin shares how uncertainty can hold us back, but what if it's the key?  Erin talks about her lifetime of navigating chronic health issues: getting sick at 16 and diagnosed with a genetic disorder that made her confront who she wanted to be and how she wanted to live her life early on. And a fellow traveler, she speaks of traveling around the world, packing up everything sge owned and spend 3 years living out of a suitcase traveling the world.BIO:Erin Brennan believes the best way through life's messiest moments is to embrace them. With a subtle shift in perspective, she invites you to find possibility in the unknown, if you're brave enough to show up and say yes. Her work challenges you to swap certainty for curiosity. Through her decision-making frameworks, Erin helps you shift unconscious belief patterns using a combination of psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, quantum physics (and magic) to find freedom from fear and uncertainty to reclaim your power.It was her own journey, navigating serious health challenges, starting her own creative agency in 2010, and pursuing a life on her own terms, that she learned, on the other side of fear is freedom. Erin is currently working on her first documentary, asking: What if chasing your wildest dreams meant staring down your biggest fears? Erin is known for delivering tough love, unfiltered honest insights, and just enough magic to help people get out of their own way to live life on their own terms.Erin Brennancreative consultant** NEW WEBSITE **Documentary Link: https://www.averageerin.com/ type // erin@brennanbrand.comdial // 415.496.9825browse // www.erinbrennan.co

Description: In this special Road Tripping episode, Jen invites her partner, actor/activist/author Tyler Merritt, to join her live after a last-minute schedule pivot. What unfolds is a night of honesty, hilarity, vulnerability, and deep connection. Jen reads two scenes from Awake—one from the earliest days of shock and grief, and one from the chaotic, hilarious adventure of dating again at midlife. She shares the moment her body finally allowed her to grieve, the unexpected relief that followed, and how storytelling helped rebuild her life from the inside out. Tyler joins her onstage and opens up about his own journey: discovering creativity as a kid in a sports household, what midlife has taught him, how his rare cancer diagnosis reshaped his priorities, and how their love story began on a night in New York City neither saw coming. He and Jen talk candidly about walking through illness together, finding joy even in hard seasons, and why Awake speaks to all genders—not just women. This episode is tender, funny, surprising, and deeply human—a reminder that grief can crack us open in ways that eventually let the light back in. ★ “My body bypassed my mind and gave itself the gift of grief.” — Jen Hatmaker (reading from Awake) ★ “If creativity is in you, you can't get rid of it. It will find its way out.” — Tyler Merritt (on discovering his storytelling voice) ★ “Middle age shortens your alphabet — you just have fewer Fs to give.” — Tyler Merritt (describing midlife clarity) ★ “You don't just get my story of cancer — you get yours, because you chose to love me.” — Tyler Merritt (on his cancer journey and their relationship) ★ “Some of the hardest things you've ever been through? You made it. You're still here.” — Tyler Merritt (reflecting on resilience and survival) ➢ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/4rjitZ7➢ This Changes Everything: A Surprisingly Funny Story About Race, Cancer, Faith, and Other Things We Don't Talk About by Tyler Merritt – https://amzn.to/4ilNtnh➢ Simple Habit meditation app (referenced in the grief scene) - https://www.simplehabit.com/➢ Corey Muscara (meditation guide Jen listened to) – https://corymuscara.com/➢ The Tyler Merritt Project – https://thetylermerrittproject.com/➢ Waitress: The Musical (where Jen and Tyler first met) – https://waitressthemusical.com/ Website – https://thetylermerrittproject.com/Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/thetylermerrittproject/Twitter – https://x.com/ttmprojectFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/thetylermerrittprojectYouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPB48_JfK-VMnYQPTYyMX5Q Jen's Website – https://jenhatmaker.com/Jen's Instagram – https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter – https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/Jen's Facebook – https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

What inspired you to write this book, and why was now the right time?Neuroscience, Grief, and GrowthThe book explores how neuroscience rewires our leadership capacity through experiences of loss. What did you discover about the connection between grief, empathy, and leadership resilience?Collaborative Creativity, Round TwoYou were last on the podcast in 2022 discussing another anthology you co-created. How has that collaborative creative process worked for you over the years — and what lessons did you carry forward into this new project?Leading Together — The Power of Many VoicesIn Lives Lost and Leadership Found, you serve as the lead author but included essays from dozens of contributors. What were the benefits — and maybe the challenges — of weaving so many perspectives into a single narrative?Lessons from the Data and the StoriesYou surveyed 150 professionals and featured essays from leaders and coaches across industries. What key lessons or themes emerged — and were there any surprises in how people transformed loss into growth?Music, Reflection, and RenewalYou even wrote and recorded a song for the book, “Here and Gone,” to honor your parents and brother.
