Inside Influence
Lessons learned from 100 episodes

Inside Influence

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 17, 2021 55:02


So here we are, 2021 has to be one of the most eagerly anticipated years of recent times, and today’s episode marks 100 episodes into the Inside Influence journey. You know, honestly, I'm a little bit in shock with that last one. Three years ago, Inside Influence started out over dinner with a friend, we were talking about how the tools of influence had changed over the last decade. How we had watched the pyramid of influence completely turn on its head. These shifts had taken us from an analog to a digital world. From those with a platform having the power and the voice - to those with an iPhone. From brands being the central holder and focus of attention - to human beings. From the information age - to a world of Epic storytelling. From success equating currency in the bank - to success literally now being valued on the currents of attention and engagement you're able to command. I can still remember the day when we press go on the first episode. Since then we've been on a ride that I could not have imagined. Diving deep into the world of global movements, WWF wrestling (that was a trip), the underbelly of Hollywood, FBI hostage negotiation, Unskippable storytelling and presidential politics. Throughout it all, the single point of focus has not changed – that being trying to decode this new age of influence. Essentially, unpacking exactly what is it that makes the people, movements or ideas of this new age utterly and truly compelling.So for this episode, in case you've not guessed already, it's just me. I'm flying solo. I wanted to take a moment to just reflect on some of the lessons I've learned over the past hundred episodes. And not only that, but some of the core lessons I've seen play out and take quantum leaps over the past 12 to 24 months. However, before I do, it feels appropriate and somewhat necessary to me to take a moment just to acknowledge the year that has been. We started 2020 on a trajectory that changed very quickly. I remember when lockdown first happened, when our businesses, careers, lives and families first underwent this giant shift. In the beginning, all I can remember thinking was - I don't know what to say. I was being asked to speak on podcasts, interviewed for magazines and to be honest I felt like a fraud. The predominant voice in my head just kept saying the same words - I don't know what to say. I felt like I just needed to shut up and listen, because I didn’t have the words to describe this moment. I didn't have the words to be useful. I didn’t have the words to translate this in a way that I felt was helpful. And so that's what I did. I listened and it soon became apparent that nobody really knew what to say. And for me, as someone who defines my world through words, that was deeply unsettling. I think it was deeply unsettling for most of us. In particular, those in leadership positions, where you have people or communities looking to you to find the right words.It felt like we’d been rugby tackled off the road well-travelled and onto a dirt track, where nobody had a map or suitable shoes. Even the boldest amongst us stumbled as much, if not more, than we stood. And so it opened a different conversation. I got to watch a new conversation unravel and unfold, and that was one of bravery. This conversation became one of showing up - one of pulling close our communities, businesses, competition and communities. And one that, as I started to watch it unfold, began to amplify the speed and importance of the trends that, interestingly enough, we had already been uncovering in this podcast. These are the lessons I want to talk a little bit about in this episodeIn essence, it turns out that the right words don't matter as much as consistently showing up. It also turns out that relying on fear as a tool of persuasion can get you a very long way, a very long way, but not all the way. It also turns out that becoming fluent in the questions of those you are there to lead or serve, is way more important than being seen to have all of the answers. Now, as I recorded this, a third wave of COVID-19 was predicted to hit Sydney. It’s no longer shocking, and any adrenaline we had left has gone. Now it's about how quickly we can reset. How quickly we can reframe. How quickly we can focus on what is coming next, assuming and surrendering to the fact that it will probably contain just as many curveballs, if not more, than last year.So, that takes us back to where we began, where Inside Influence began 100 episodes ago. What can we double down on if we want to expand our sphere of influence? I've framed the five points within this episode as the Five Flips – the five essential shifts in thinking, strategy and mindset - that will be needed in order to stand out and own the power of our influence in 2021 and beyond.

In the eight years they've known each other as co-founders, co-workers, and most importantly, friends, they know a thing or two on what it takes to work with each other.We've all heard the advice that we shouldn't start a business with a friend. As we've seen in our episodes, that advice is a myth. One of the things we want everyone to walk away with when listening to Chief Best Friends, is that not all advice applies to us and our relationships. Similarly, we aren't here to preach that you should start a business with a friend but that it is possible. And for some of us, like Rachel and Danella, this works for them.With that said, it's not all rainbows and butterflies. Rachel and Danella joins us in our show today because they know how to make it work even when the business is not working. Yes, they've gone through the ups and downs of starting a business and then going through the painful decision to fold it.

Welcome to another episodeIn this episode I get to speak with renouned portrait paitner Frank Ordaz. You may have seen him recently in his new educational video, “The one hour lay in.” I watched it and took a lot of notes. Frank had an interesting and enviable start to his career as a matte painter for George Lucas’s Industrial Light and Magic. Frank is a warm and generous person, and the interview was a pleasure. What struck me the most in part one was throughout the evolution of Frank’s career from one incredible opportunity to the next, he never lost sight of his goals, even when he had to make crucial decisions along the way that others may not have understood at the time, Frank stayed on course and true to his vision for his life. I’ve broken this interview into two parts for your convenience. As always, part two is available for your convenience at passionatepainterpodcast.com/episode40.BIOFrank P. Ordaz grew up in Southern California . At the age of 12 he studied with portrait artist Theodore N. Lukits. It was at the Lukits academy that Frank was introduced to the academic method of painting from plaster casts and from life. He was later mentored by landscape painter Sam Hyde Harris who was noted for his tonal quality of light. Frank attended the University of Southern California and graduated from the Art Center College of Design in 1980. He began painting for George Lucas’s Special Effects Company Industrial Light and Magic where he worked on such Oscar winning motion pictures as E.T. and Return of the Jedi . In 1986 he was recognized with an Emmy for his matte paintings in the Ewok Movie. His painting style is heavily influenced by his time working on cinematic movie features. He has continued the tradition of early California Artists in painting in the field and learning firsthand the qualities and mysteries of Light. Frank also has a passion for Art History and the artists place in the continued evolution of painting Styles. His paintings are a celebration of life and the profound influence of light in animating our emotions and responses to our environment. Painting, for Ordaz, has a spiritual and philosophical component . His portrait faces explore the identities of his subjects trying to go beyond the surface of skin and his landscapes are metaphors for the vastness of space that is ever changing yet captured and bound in a painting. His work harkens back to the Romantic Movement where the response is more than intellectual, but something that smacks you in the gut; where paint is translated to rock or flesh or sky. What a triumph of human invention is painting!CONTACT FRANK:Email: ursusgeewiz@gmail.comWebsite: https://Ordazart.comFacebook (optional): https://www.facebook.com/frankordazartYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/FrankOrdaz7

Welcome to the second episode of Faith Made Welcome, a progressive podcast on faith brought to you by Commonwealth Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia.This episode is the second installment in our “What The World Needs Now” series.  This four-week “study” of sorts features discussions and reflection sparked from a special activist sermon series CBC and several other congregations are taking part in this month. Each week in August, an activist preacher is giving us their take on the theme. Today’s episode is based upon a sermon of this series, which you can watch on our Youtube Channel, preached by Sandhya Jha, who is ordained in the Disciples of Christ Church, and who describes herself on her website as “comfortable in the pulpit, on the picket line or hanging out with friends and friends-to-be over a good cup of tea and a good story.”In this episode of the podcast, CBC Pastors Robin and Marty Anderson are joined by CBC’s Coordinator of Religious Education, Courtney Hodge, and CBC deacon and general podcast enthusiast Cheri Spiegel grabbed their own cups of tea and settled in for a conversation about covenants, contracts, and the Christian community. About Sandhya JhaSandhya Jha is the founder/director of the Oakland Peace Center, a collective of 40 organizations that creates access, equity and dignity for all in the Oakland/Bay area. She has also authored several books including Pre-Post Racial America: Spiritual Stories from the Front Lines, Transforming Communities: How People Like You are Healing Their Neighborhoods, and Liberating Love: 365 Love Notes from God. Scripture Mentioned this EpisodeIn case you’re prepping for your own Bible drills (Marty got the blue ribbon this week), here are the scriptures mentioned this episode.Psalm 103: 15-18Acts 10Matthew 22:37 Additional Materials Mentioned this EpisodeOctavia Butler We mention Octavia Butler’s novel Dawn, which presents the idea that humanity suffers from an inherently incompatible pairing of characteristics: we are both hierarchical and intelligent.CBC’s Church Covenant: We talk through some of the details of our church’s own covenant statement.Depeche Mode:  We accidentally (but maybe on purpose) make reference to “Personal Jesus”Ava DuVernay: We mention her documentary, 13th (2016), which Jha also cites. This important film looks at the intersection of race, justice and mass incarceration in our country.Grey’s Anatomy:  We reference this show as an example about how a certain kind of contract (the prenup) can play out. If you’re worried about a spoiler, the episode in question is like four years old, catch up!Malcolm Guite: We mention Guite’s concept of Covenanted Discomfort from the Work of the People video by the same name.Lisa Sharon Harper and Jen Hatmaker:  We indirectly reference their Facebook Live conversation about  “White Women’s Toxic Tears” Father Richard Rohr: We reference one of his posts on the Center for Action and Contemplation website, called “Jesus’ Social Program.” About This PodcastThis podcast was envisioned as means to foster spiritual growth and conversations about faith, both within and beyond the faith community at Commonwealth Baptist Church. At the open of this episode, we discuss what spiritual formation means to our CBC pastors and the role community plays in our concept of faith. Got a question or want to reach out to the Faith Made Welcome team?  You can reach us at faithmadewelcome@gmail.com. Faith Made Welcome is produced by Cheri Spiegel, Paul Fitzgerald and This Most Unbelievable Life. A Note on the Links in these ShownotesWhere possible the links to books mentioned in this episode direct to Old Town Books.

We discuss how this new medium caused confusion with influencer licensing and how to get around that, as well as the results of the pilot and what it takes to sustain a content heavy voice experience.We discuss how to measure success and how, for some, starting to gather data to develop understanding is a better option than setting KPIs.

Because he has one of the most popular video education channels on YouTube—with over 170,000 subscribers and 20+ million views. What sets Dave apart from many other "professionals" in this industry, is that Dave will be the first to tell you he doesn't consider himself a pro. He's just a regular guy trying to learn video and sharing what he learns with the world. He doesn't put on a face and try to make himself cooler or smarter than he really is.

The inspirational rise and fall (and rise again) story of how Whitestone Motion Pictures came from the brink of throwing in the towel, to shooting a project for The History Channel.If you've been listening to this podcast since the beginning, you know that there is only one person who's been featured on the show more times than show regulars JD and Yolanda. That person is Atlanta filmmaker Brandon McCormick of Whitestone Motion Pictures. After posting last week's bonus episode about Brandon's incredible database of feature film screenshots, it occurred to me that out of all the episodes in which he's appeared, I've never really given any kind of in-depth story about the history of Whitestone and his journey as a filmmaker. So today, that's what I have. This week's episode is a tad longer than normal, but I promise you'll savor every inspirational minute.We cover such topics as:How and why they do the kind of work they doHis affection for nostalgic and period piecesHis thoughts on artists vs. artisans and the significance of the differenceThe trials and tribulations of almost making their first feature film and the lessons he learnedHow the History Channel project came aboutAnd of course, it wouldn't be a Brandon McCormick episode without some profoundly poignant ending that makes you wanna go out and conquer the world!Music in this EpisodeIn order of appearance, the music in this episode:Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairyby Kevin MacLeod (CC BY)The rest of the songs are from the soundtrack of "That's Magic," music and lyrics by Nicholas Kirk, courtesy of Whitestone Motion Pictures.

We conclude our look at rebel filmmaker Quentin Tarantino with a discussion of the provocative nature of Tarantino's work.There's probably no filmmaker alive today who elicits the kind of visceral emotion and discussion as Quentin Tarantino. Every one of the eight feature films he's directed (and even the ones where he's just the credited writer) have some dialog and/or visuals that will either offend you and/or make you squirm in discomfort. From the excessive, almost cartoonish violence, to his treatment of women to his infamous use of the N-word. Tarantino knows how to push buttons. But does his button-pushing truly serve the story, or is it just a device to provoke you? That's what this week's guests discuss with me. Two weeks ago we looked at Tarantino the AUTEUR.
