Jerry's foundational equation for leadership success: practical skills + radical self-inquiry + shared experiences = enhanced leadership and resilience3. Why teams most often fail (hint: it's not lack of talent or strategy)4. How busyness often masks deeper issues of self-worth5. Why a “growth mindset” can be problematic6. The importance of legacy and what it means to live a meaningful life7. The role of AI in self-inquiry and how tools like ChatGPT can help uncover blind spots8.

Our guest for this episode is the double bass player Keenan Zach. We've known Keenan for years, and we've seen him perform countless times—he's a fantastic musician and an overall inspiring person. Keenan plays both jazz and classical music, and he's currently pursuing his doctorate at Stony Brook University. So we begin the conversation by asking some deep questions about jazz, especially the features that fascinate our classical musician brains: what is groove and how does it work? How do jazz musicians improvise and how can one practice that skill? We also talked about the differences between jazz and classical music training, and how each side can be helped by the other. But the meat of the conversation centered around one of my favorite topics, meditation. Keenan has had a disciplined meditation practice for many years, and had lots of wonderful things to say about mindfulness, enlightenment, and the value of letting go. These concepts help all three of us to be better people and musicians.

About the guest:     Jennifer walked into her college radio station as a 17-year-old freshman and never looked back. Even though she was terrified of the microphone back then — and spoke into it as little as possible — she loved the studio, the atmosphere and, most of all, the people who work in broadcasting. She was hooked. Decades later, she's back behind the radio microphone hosting Maine Public Radio's flagship talk program, Maine Calling. She's not afraid of the mic anymore, but still loves the bright, eclectic people she gets to work with every day. Jennifer joined MPBN in June 2007 after spending more than 13 years at WCSH-TV in Portland as a general assignment reporter and weekend news anchor. She has twice won a regional Edward R. Murrow award: in 1998, for coverage of Maine National Guard and Reserve soldiers deployed in Bosnia and Hungary, and in 2003, for the documentary Citizen King, about then-governor and former Maine Watch host Angus King. For six years, Jennifer served as host, reporter and executive producer of Maine Watch with Jennifer Rooks. She has moderated more than 20 broadcast debates for Maine Public Television and has produced three television documentaries: Broken Trust: Elder Abuse in Maine and Winds of Change, both Maine Watch Special Reports, and A Matter of Duty: The Continuing War Against PTSD. Co-produced with Charlie Stuart, A Matter of Duty has been shown on PBS television stations throughout the U.S. and in multiple screenings, including at the National Sheriff's Association national conference. Jennifer grew up outside Atlanta, Georgia. She earned her BA from the University of Virginia and her master's in journalism from the University of California at Berkeley. She worked at television stations in San Francisco and Monterey, California, before coming to Maine. She and her husband Mike have two teenagers.   In the episode:     1:03 – While in college, Jennifer describes how her career in broadcasting began after being “hired” by Herb Ivy as a DJ on her college's radio station and interning at CNN. 8:43 – Jennifer talks about her connection to Maine and how she got to know news directors to get her first job in Maine. 12:00 – Nancy talks about the parallels her career has with Jennifer's. 16:23 – With such a tremendous following, Jennifer shares what she does to increase brand engagement, including diversity. 19:34 – Jennifer gives a how-to tip for PR professionals pitching Maine Calling. 26:26 – Jennifer answers what makes a good call-in radio show.   30:58 – Jennifer and Nancy Bob Elliot's legacy.   36:20 – Jennifer describes how she realized that the difference between public and traditional media is service. 42:09 – Jennifer describes how her network has grown on its own. 44:06 – As one of her most useful resources, Jennifer tells how important her dictionary is.   Quote “We're kind of the opposite of every other organization that I've worked at. We're not really doing a news story. We're not doing stories. We're having a conversation about something.” – Jennifer Rooks, host of Maine Calling on Maine Public Radio   Links:           Maine Calling: https://www.mainepublic.org/programs/maine-calling Maine Public: https://www.mainepublic.org/ PR Works! by Nancy Marshall: https://www.amazon.com/PR-Works-implement-leverage-relations/dp/1511641614 Grow Your Audience, Grow Your Brand by Nancy Marshall: https://www.amazon.com/Grow-Your-Audience-Brand-ebook/dp/B0892R9PXF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1P549BP2R3CUJ&dchild=1&keywords=grow+your+audience%2C+grow+your+brand+by+nancy+marshall&qid=1592249821&s=books&sprefix=grow+your+aud%2Cstripbooks%2C173&sr=1-1 10% Happier by Dan Harris: https://www.amazon.com/10-Happier-Self-Help-Actually-Works/dp/0062265431 Bob's Basement: https://www.newscentermaine.com/section/entertainment/television/bobs-basement   talk@mainpublic.org Cindy Han: chan@mainpublic.org Jonathan Smith: jpsmith@mainepublic.org   Activate the PR Maven® Flash Briefing on your Alexa Device.   Join the PR Maven® Facebook group page.     Looking to connect:            Email: jrooks@mainepublic.org

It feels like meditation - and apps for meditation - are everywhere right now.

GUILT, SHAME and being “SO OCD” with Shala Nicely I am honored to share with you a recent interview I did with OCD ROCKSTAR and dear friend, Shala Nicely. Shala is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Atlanta and treats OCD and OCD Spectrum Disorders using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I briefly outlined the conversation and left all the links discussed during the podcast. Enjoy! Shala recently wrote an awesome blog post article about a top women's magazine that posted an article encouraging readers to “be a little OCD!” Shala declared enough was enough and got writing. Shala and her ROCKSTAR mom are doing so much to advocate for the OCD community. See the below link to check it out. http://www.shalanicely.com/misc/aha-moments-magazine-encouraging-us-little-ocd/ How do you respond when people say, “I am SO OCD?” Shala reports that she always aims to never shame anyone. For this reason, she talked about polite and non-shaming ways to educate others on what OCD and how painful and debilitating it can be. How does it feel when you hear someone say "I am so OCD"? “First, frustration”, but then desire to educate others about the severity of OCD and other mental health disorders. Are people with OCD, “SO OCD?” In today's society, being “SO OCD” is generalized to describe someone who is meticulous and likes symmetry and neatness. This is not typical for someone with OCD. Someone who has severe OCD might be entirely ok with a dirty bedroom and not need symmetry or cleanliness at all.   It is important that we educate people about the specific sub-types of OCD so that people better understand the complexities and variety of OCD symptoms. Go to Iocdf.org for more information How can we manage the shame and guilt that comes with having OCD or another mental health disorder? Brene Brown has written some AWESOME literature and has done amazing research about shame and guilt. Because Shame and Guilt are so common amongst those with OCD, Anxiety, Eating Disorders and Body- Focused Repetitive Disorders, we both strongly encourage listeners to read any of her books. Kimberley also discussed Brene's explanation of how to identify if you can trust someone.
