In this solo episode, Dr. Darrin Peppard dives deep into one of the hardest challenges leaders face — guiding their teams through circumstances completely outside their control. From district-wide budget cuts to post-COVID uncertainty, Darrin explores how leaders can help their teams release what they can't control and regain focus, trust, and agency around what they can.Drawing on a real coaching conversation and a personal story from his time as a superintendent, Darrin outlines how acknowledging loss, re-centering on purpose, and empowering staff voice can rebuild trust and momentum during difficult times. You'll walk away with practical tools you can use in your next leadership meeting — including a powerful exercise to help your team “throw away” the things they can't control and reclaim focus on what truly matters.In this episode:The emotional toll leaders and teams experience during crisesHow to help your people let go of what's beyond their controlA real-world example from a post-COVID leadership retreatThree concrete leadership actions to rebuild trust and focusA simple reflection question to guide your next team meetingLeaders can't fix everything — but they can bring calm, clarity, and courage to those they serve.

Easy Jazz - The Best of

J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you Bill Kanatas and Ben Salzberg, what is the BIGGEST RISK?   Bill Kanatas I look at two different risks, one as an investor slash investment, and one is a developer slash development. Um, so if we're talking about the development aspect first, because, as I mentioned earlier, Ben and I spend our money up front first, before we go to the investors looking for their money, we do a lot of work upfront to mitigate that risk, and in any development, nothing ever goes perfect, as much as we think it's going to be great. It's not going to rain tomorrow. We're going to have sunshine for three weeks, and the bulldozers will be out there, and all sudden, we get rain for three weeks, and the holes we just dug flood, right? So you gotta be able to have that in your underwriting. Right? So when I tell somebody it's going to be 10 to 12 months, you know, I underwrite it 14 months, in case we have an additional four months of interest reserve or operational losses. So we try to mitigate all that risk upfront. When you're looking as an investor, slash investment. Then, you know, the advice I always give to my own friends is look at the first let's start with the development team, right? Do they know how to develop you know, whatever it is, is it a Starbucks? Is it self storage? Is it car washes? Make sure you're right with the right development team, or make sure they have experience, obviously. Make sure that you believe in the area. You know. Is there a reason to put one in Bosie, Idaho, or is there one to put it one in Manhattan, you know? Is there a demand for self storage? And then who's operating it? Is it the Bill and Ben show? Or is it, you know, an operator who knows what they're doing? Is it the first time they're operating? Or do they have, you know, billions of dollars of annual revenue in this space? So I think there's various checklists to kind of mitigate that risk. And then at some point you gotta say, I'm all in and and dive in and know that if there is any problems, your partners will communicate that with you, right? Because it's very, very important to always have communication, you know, with your lender, with your investor, with your general contractor, with the village. You know, Benz, an elected official. And when you're working with the communities, you have to perform. You can't tell them one thing and do something else, right? So communication for me is always the best,   Ben Salzberg And then I agree with you on that bill, you know, making sure the constituents in the area, which are mine and that they're they like what we're building and developing in the community, and to mitigate that risk of any type of Fallout, of people being frustrated, being built self storage in the neighborhood, um, you know, that's that, that risk. And of course, then there's, you know, you want to make sure that the job is insured in case somebody gets hurt, you know. And that goes with you Darrin, you know, you have to, you know, PNC, make sure that it's everybody's covered.   https://self-storagedevelopers.com/

Why is historical context so important when looking at topics from the past? What role does a broader appreciation of the humanities play in understanding contemporary issues?Darrin M. McMahon is a professor of history at Dartmouth College and the author of several books. Recent titles include Equality: The History of an Elusive Idea and the Divine Fury: A History of Genius book.Greg and Darrin discuss Darrin's intellectual journey and his approach to longue durée intellectual history. Darrin provides insights into his books on happiness, genius, and equality, exploring themes like the evolution of concepts over time, the intersection of words and ideas, and the roles of intellectual historians. Their conversation examines the connections between religious traditions and modern concepts, the interplay of born versus made attributes, and the historical perspectives on the concepts of happiness and genius. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Are genius, happiness, and equality born or made?41:06: Are geniuses born, or are they made? You know, can you play the guitar for 10,000 hours, à la Malcolm Gladwell, and become a Beatle? Or, you know, is there just something in you? And that turns out to be a kind of central conflict all the way back to the ancients. Same, as you say, with happiness, right? Is happiness just in our genes? We know some people are wired to just be cheery in the morning. Right? I'm not one of those people. Or does it happen to you? Right? Or can you make it? Right? Can you control your life in such a way so that you can bring about happiness? And the same with equality, right? Are we born equals? Are we made equals in political circumstance? Are we intended to be equal? This too gets tied up with debates around it, around the concept from very early on. And they never really entirely go away. So again, it's a nice way of kind of pointing out continuities, but then also marking points of departure and change.Why equality creates inequality29:37: Equality always serves, or always brings into being, new forms of inequality. That very assertion of equals then creates the space then for thinking or measuring others against that standard, and relegating to place.Intellectual history teaches us how to love49:28: Intellectual history teaches you to get inside the minds of others who see the world in radically different ways from how you do. And that is what love is all about: trying to get inside the mind of a person who sees the world differently from you, and to empathize even when you do not agree, to understand even when you do not condone. That is crucial. It is a crucial human endeavor, and I think intellectual history teaches that very well.The arc of equality isn't as straight as we think30:29: Equality leads to us, and then it's going to spread, and, you know, spill down to more and more people. It will expand and get wider. I grew up in California. I was born in 1965 with that kind of vague idea, and no one said it was going to be easy. Martin Luther King certainly knew it was not going to be easy, and yet, as you say, the arc of history bends towards justice, bends towards equality. We're gradually extending equality to wider and wider circles of people. And that's just how it will go. And I think we were deceived by our own rhetoric. And it was really a rude awakening in 2016 to wake up and realize, oh gosh, you know, it does not quite work that way. And as rude an awakening as that's been, I think it also provides an opportunity then to go back and examine a concept like equality that we thought we knew in some ways, but that really turns out to be much more complicated and fraught than I think we fully appreciated.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Longue DuréeRobert DarntonArthur Oncken LovejoyAnglo-SaxonsPlatoSubjective Well-beingJeremy BenthamThe Happiness HypothesisAge of EnlightenmentSocratesDaemonDoctor FaustusMichelangeloMichel FoucaultMemento MoriFascesTeresa BejanMartin Luther King Jr.Tall Poppy SyndromeChristopher BoehmBranko MilanovićKarl MarxJean-Jacques RousseauArthur SchopenhauerFriedrich NietzscheThomas CarlyleAugustine of HippoPresentismGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Dartmouth UniversityDarrinMcMahon.comWikipedia ProfileGuest Work:Amazon Author PageEquality: The History of an Elusive IdeaHistory and Human FlourishingDivine Fury: A History of GeniusHappiness: A HistoryEnemies of the Enlightenment: The French Counter-Enlightenment and the Making of Modernity Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

J Darrin Gross If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Jennifer Brener Seay, What is the BIGGEST RISK?   Jennifer Brener Seay So I'm going to give you two Darrin, one of the biggest risks, I think, is just having solid contracts, and the contracts are there to protect you from all different kinds of risks. So, you know, we're a small business. We've been in business for for 23 years. I think for a long time, I had a very simple contract that I don't think was probably protecting me from what could go wrong. And it was actually a real estate developer friend of mine, as we were going after and winning these bigger and bigger projects, you know, 15 floor ground up brand new builds, and we were going to be installing huge sculptures, he was like, You need a better contract. You need a better contract than this. So we really have worked to strengthen our contracts, to protect us, to protect the artists, to protect the clients, and in addition to that, or as a risk to the business and the economy, I, as a business owner, have never really focused on one vertical, because I got lucky in the 2008 recession that I had just taken on a big our first really big higher education project and our first Assisted Living Project, when kind of everything was hitting the fan at that time and corporate was falling apart. And it really showed me that in a business as niche as mine, I need to. To be diverse in the kinds of projects that we take on. So if one sector is having a hard time, we do not have all of our eggs in that basket. So we we work in in all areas of commercial real estate and with different kinds of companies and different industries to protect ourselves from things in the economy that I have no control over.   https://artplusartisans.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-brener-seay/  

In this solo episode, Dr. Darrin Peppard dives into the leadership buzzwords we all hear — and probably use — without stopping to define.

Tessa and Darrin have been dating each other for other three years and while things have been great for the most part, Tessa admits she feels like they kind of are in a “rut.” Tessa tells us that Darrin doesn't really dress up around her or plan any dates so she did give him an ultimatum a few weeks ago to see if they will take the next step. However, over the weekend Tessa saw that Darrin had been sending payments on Venmo to a woman named Isabel and actually saw that Darrin has been doing this for the past month and it's the first time Tessa has heard about it.   We call Darring pretending to be a flower shop offering him a free bouquet of flowers and when we ask Darring who he wants them sent to, he asks if they can be sent to Isabel. Find out what's really going on in this week's War Of The Roses!

What is that sound you hear as you read this? Are you feeling that smell in the air? There is a bright light and a crashing wave, and that can only mean that The Fire and Water Podcast Network has opened their portal into our studio! And walking out of that portal, is Ryan Daly, the host of Cheers Cast, Batman Knightcast, Fire and Water Records, and many other shows. What fresh hell will he bring to us? I guess we should describe the attitude that Ryan Daly entered with. I am not going to say it was manly or regal, but there are few other words I can use without opening a thesaurus. He did demand a glass of Perrie and proceded to dump it onto Jeff's head. We do not know why. This entrance did leave us with fear and a sense of unease. Jeff, now cold and wet and with a fear of the French, ran off to hide in the bathroom. He would not come out until the "popping and sidelong glances" stopped. He has been having a rough week, so we let him cool down. Returning back to the podcasting studio, I noticed that Ryan had taken off his shirt and was wearing a complex headphone array that covered his eyes. He assured me that he would still be able to read the computer screen and that this just made him feel more comfortable. It made me feel like I needed an adult in the room. With Jeff still in the bathroom, and me in the corner, quacking with fear, Ryan became impatient and angry. We always lay out a spread of pancakes for our guests, but the visitor from the Fire and Water network was having none of our "carby bribes", and proceeded to knock it all on the ground. Now the cat was out of the bag. Literally. He had brought a bag filled with angry cats. We never discovered where he got them or how he transported them legally across state lines, but here we were. I also noticed that Ryan was dosing them with a catnip/cocaine/Red Bull concoction that could not be legal or healthy. In the end, we had no choice but to shoot tranquilizers on all the cats and Ryan. We later found out that he had grabbed a random drink from the fridge at his network and did not realize it was one of Shaggs 'special' energy drinks. There was a bad reaction to some other medication that Ryan was taking, and it set him off. Prior to hitting our studio, Ryan had knocked over two new start-ups, stole Darrin's Trekker artwork, snagged all of the pants at the Long Box Crusade headquarters, and finally cut up all of the covers at the Outcaster's bunker. Apologies were made. I could be lying about this, but why would I do something like that.   To see the pictures that go with the story:  https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2025/07/25/ff-v2-10-paint-it-black/   We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble.
