Podcast appearances and mentions of erin jones

We've got a power duo in the house.Erin Jones and Josh Dukes went from being productivity coaches at their local Keller Williams brokerage to running a $275M real estate team in the D.C. metro area. They've done it with a lot of heart, no fluff or shortcuts!Together, they've built one of the most disciplined and high-retention teams we've ever seen. Their playbook? A culture-first approach, zero tolerance for entitlement, and dialed-in systems–new agents walk in with a 30-60-90 plan and start producing fast.In this episode, Erin and Josh break down their entire operating model, from hiring criteria (they don't follow up with you on purpose) to the open house strategy that nets them 50% of their deals. You'll learn how they coach new agents to make 200+ monthly contacts, convert strangers into clients, and—most importantly—why they've been able to retain their agents year after year while still scaling at speed.We also unpack how they structured their business partnership with full transparency, separate P&Ls, and a crystal-clear rule for when to “die on a hill.” If you're thinking about partnering with someone or expanding your team, this is the blueprint.Resources:Read: Start With Why135 GPS ToolBen Kinney on MREA PodcastOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 2Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

In a time of increasing polarization, religious leaders and scholars are coming together to address one of the most pressing and complex issues in modern faith: Christian nationalism. This movement, which intertwines national identity with religious belief, has sparked deep conversations about the role of faith in public life and the risks of conflating Christianity with political power. A discussion took place earlier this month in Gettysburg, “Hope in a Divided World: A Faithful Response to Christian Nationalism. Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton, Dr. Lori Brandt Hale, Amanda Tyler, and Rev. Erin Jones joined the spark to share the impact of Christian nationalism and how people of faith can respond with hope and justice. Listen to the podcast to learn what is Christian nationalism and why it is a concern, how it differs from a health expression of faith in public life, the historical context of religion and nationalism, including lessons from Bonhoeffer, the impact of religious freedom and democracy, and how faith communities can respond with hope, action, and advocacy.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In June 2020, as Black Lives Matter protests filled Denver's streets, the city's walls and streets were also painted with images and messages of the movement. Denver commissioned a large Black Lives Matter street mural. Well-known Denver muralist Thomas "Detour" Evans painted a series of portraits of Black people killed at the hands of police. But a lot of that art was temporary; it's been painted over or has faded away. Artist Adri Norris and activist Lindsay Minter reflect on why that is and what that means. The mural of Breonna Taylor by artists Thomas "Detour" Evans and Hiero Veiga can be found at 2845 Walnut Street in Denver. To see photos of the mural, visit CPR.org/podcast/off-the-walls. We've collaborated with Apple Maps to create a guide to the murals and special places you've heard about on Off the Walls. It features a map of some of the coolest public art in Colorado, plus photos of the murals we talk about on the show. To check it out, go to apple.co/Off-The-Walls.

Denver artists Grow Love and Alexandrea Pangburn had noticed a pattern: Most of the opportunities for muralists were going to men. When they connected with other female artists who felt the same way, the idea for Babe Walls — a mural festival celebrating all female and non-binary artists — was born. Babe Walls would showcase local talent and, hopefully, spark some change. But for the artists behind what was originally going to be a one-time event, Babe Walls has had more impact than they'd ever expected. The Babe Walls 2021 murals can be found along the Ralston Creek Trail in Arvada, where Ralston Road meets Lamar Street.

When Fathima Dickerson was approached by an artist who wanted to paint a mural of her, she was surprised. To Fathima of Welton Street Café—Denver's oldest Black-owned restaurant—it seemed random. But to the artists, Jodie Herrera and Miles Toland, Fathima embodied the idea of community they wanted to capture in their Five Points mural. As Fathima navigates challenges and changes with Welton Street Café, the mural has served as a source of hope. You can find the mural in a parking lot off Walnut Street between 27th and 28th Streets in Denver. To see photos of the mural, visit CPR.org/podcast/off-the-walls.

Painting his first mural was a powerful experience for artist David Ocelotl Garcia. But a few years ago, that mural, "Huitzilopochtli," was painted over, without permission. David set out to bring the mural back, but he didn't know how that would go. No one in Colorado had attempted what he was going to do. In the process, David discovered the beauty in not just making art, but reviving it. To learn more about the Chicano/a/x Murals of Colorado Project, visit chicanomuralsofcolorado.com.

Emanuel Martinez started a community mural movement in Denver in the early 1970s, bringing colorful life to the local Chicano Movement. His mural "La Alma" is a central part of the historic La Alma Lincoln Park neighborhood where he painted it more than 45 years ago. But other murals Emanuel painted at the time have been wiped out. And now, someone very close to him is fighting for Chicano murals like his to be protected and preserved. You can find the mural at the La Alma Recreation Center at 1325 W 11th Ave in Denver.

And as I found out in our conversation, she's working on a new book called "More Than a Race".   To access her book or TEDx talks, follow the links below:   “Bridges to Heal US, Stories and Strategies for Racial Healing"  https://www.amazon.com/Bridges-Heal-US-Stories-Strategies/dp/B099TQ9P32/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1664764195&refinements=p_27%3AErin+Jones&s=books&sr=1-2 https://youtu.be/_EYsk5--6Fk https://youtu.be/HQ7xY60a6z4 https://youtu.be/hFc9axy2ktQ

Elijah McClain was a son, a brother, a healer and a musician. In 2019, police stopped him during a peaceful walk home. He hadn't done anything wrong, but they violently subdued him. Now, officers and paramedics face criminal charges in his death. McClain's story has brought about reforms to the rules for police in Colorado, and it has put law enforcement in Aurora under state oversight, to stop a pattern of racist policing. The incident has taught Colorado how to effectively oversee conduct by law enforcement – and what happens when we don't.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I sit down with Erin Jones, the owner of Hermit and The Moon, to explore the power, nuance, and healing properties of language. This conversation was inspired by a meetup in The Symposium a while back where Erin challenged the use of the phrase “stalker card” and changed the way I view repeating cards. This got me thinking about the language used within and about tarot, so naturally I invited her to explore this with me on the podcast. Erin and I invite you to join us while we pull cards and discuss the modern and traditional language used, the personal and societal effect that language has on us, and how we can step into a trauma-informed space when it comes to the alchemy of language and tarot.

Matthew Fisher always felt like an outsider. He struggled to make friends and was overcome by mood swings. By age 13, he turned to drugs and alcohol to cope.

So often Black women struggle whether to speak out and face consequences or conform to pressures in order to feed families. As we discuss the types of situations often faced, the conundrum of Black progress and what is required often conflicts with what is. Regular commentary from Stefani Coverson, CEO Jamii Pae Consulting, Erin Jones, Education Consultant, Dr. Karen Johnson, Equity Leader, Michele Dotson, Research Consultant and Joy Stanford, Equity Advisor.

Khadi Oluwatoyin was always a high achiever. She excelled in law school and got her dream job, as a lawyer in New York City, in her early twenties. Racial and gender barriers didn't stop her. Nothing stood in the way of her career, except alcohol. But when Khadi sought help for her drinking, she often found she was the only Black woman in the room. So she created her own recovery group for Black women and nonbinary folks to help others — and herself — through recovery.

Aaron Taylor was a standout athlete at the University of Notre Dame. He went on to become a Super Bowl champion with the Green Bay Packers.
