Success has its price, and it will not be obtained without paying your fair share. Though success is something many people strive for, it has also been the byproduct of escape for many. Facing yourself in the mirror, the story you tell about yourself, and the heartache and trauma you've experienced can take the back seat in pursuit of greatness. Maybe enough success will make it all hurt less. Bobby Hall, AKA Logic, hasn't had an easy start in life. Coming from an abusive family, exposed to too much at a young age has a role in how he arrived at throwing himself into his art and being one of the greatest rappers in hip hop. Bobby breaks down his journey, why he wrote his memoir and where he is now ending the career of Logic that he's spent over a decade building. ORIGINAL AIR DATE: 9-7-21 Bobby's Bio: As an author, Logic released the novel Supermarket (2019), which was accompanied by a soundtrack of the same name. The book became a New York Times Best Seller, but both works received generally mixed to negative critical reception. Logic is also a streamer, and signed exclusively with Twitch, becoming the first musician to do so.

Recalling the first time I strummed a chord on my beat-up guitar, I never imagined where music would take me. Fast forward to today, and I'm here with Tony Smith, reminiscing about his journey from the small-town charm of Bowling Green to the adrenaline rush of music production. Tony generously shares the impact of his father's guitar melodies on his own musical aspirations, and the poignant tale of his first Gibson SG, bringing to light the emotional connections artists have with their instruments. Our conversation is a heartfelt nod to the nostalgia and growth that come hand in hand in a musician's life.Navigate the twists and turns of the creative process with Tony and me as we discuss the thrilling yet vulnerable path from songwriting to that final album cut. Hear how old flip cameras and GarageBand sessions evolved into professional music production, and witness the delicate dance between preserving an artist's signature sound and venturing into new sonic territories. Through Tony's stories of DIY video projects and the special collaboration with his wife, you'll see the magic that unfolds when personal vision meets innovative execution.Step into a world where music spins the thread of our social fabric, tracing influences across generations and genres. As Tony and I exchange tales of our treasured vinyl collections and the bands that shaped our sound, it becomes clear that music is more than just melody—it's a gateway to understanding the past while inspiring the future. Join us for a conversation that spans the spectrum of creative experience, from the rush of performing as an alter ego to the importance of supporting fellow artists in the ever-evolving landscape of digital content creation.Support the show
New Orleans witnessed its first modern Mardi Gras procession - kick-started by a group of students eager to revive the traditional masquerade, banned for six decades - on 27th February, 1827. The city's parades and revelry can trace their origins back to ancient pagan festivals and European traditions, cemented by the arrival of French-Canadian explorer (and MASSIVE ‘Fat Tuesday' fan) Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville into Louisiana in 1699. In this episode, The Retrospectors Krewe dig into the celebration's impact on revenue and refuse; consider the discriminatory practices that accompanied the festivities until the late 20th century; and get angry about the British equivalent: Pancake Day… Further Reading: ‘Here's a Brief History of Mardi Gras and How It All Started' (The Manual, 2024): https://www.themanual.com/culture/history-of-madi-gras/ ‘Unmasking the History of Mardi Gras in New Orleans' (The Crescent Magazine, 2022): https://tulanemagazine.com/unmasking-the-history-of-mardi-gras-in-new-orleans/ ‘Mardi Gras New Orleans Louisiana 4K' (Dan Usher Films, 2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bv1mFl9SI4 Love the show?

Step into the world of coaching brilliance today as we embark on an extraordinary journey with coaching industry rockstar, Michael Bungay Stanier! Michael's reputation precedes him! Armed with a treasure trove of simple and remarkably effective ideas, he has left an indelible mark on countless individuals seeking growth and transformation. From the resounding success of his bestseller, The Coaching Habit, with over a million copies sold, to the launch of his latest book, How to Work with Almost Anyone: Five Essential Questions, his wisdom knows no bounds! Prepare to be inspired as we dive into the mind of the one and only Michael Bungay Stanier and unravel the secrets to his remarkable success! Bio: Michael Bungay Stanier helps people know that they're awesome and are doing great. He is best known for The Coaching Habit, the best-selling coaching book of the century and recognized as a classic. His most recent book, How to Work with (Almost) Anyone, shows how to build the best possible relationship with key people at work. Michael was a Rhodes Scholar. He is Australian and lives in Toronto, Canada. How It All Started for Michael Michael's journey into the coaching world began during his teenage years when he noticed he had a knack for listening to his friends and offering advice. Intrigued by the power of asking questions and listening to the answers, he became a crisis telephone counselor for youth. That experience taught him the value of staying curious and understanding that the first answer might not be the whole truth. His interest in coaching grew while working in the world of innovation and organizational change in London and Boston. In 2001, he moved to Toronto, where he did his first coach training and launched a coaching practice that led him to write books on coaching. Becoming a Reference in the World of Coaching Michael's journey to becoming a reference in the coaching industry took shape with the publication of his book, The Coaching Habit. Initially rejected by traditional publishers, he decided to self-publish the book and took control of the brand, look, and feel. His commitment to making it a classic and marketing it extensively through podcasts and writing contributed to its success. The book focuses on simplifying coaching, emphasizing curiosity, and refraining from rushing to give advice. That resonated with readers and made it highly influential. Subsequent books and his unique podcast, Two Pages with MBS, further solidified his position as a prominent figure in the world of coaching. Balancing Curiosity and Giving Advice A lesson Michael learned was about the power of staying curious and helping people figure things out themselves. As a coach, he emphasizes the importance of understanding a client's challenges before rushing to provide immediate solutions. He cautions against trying to solve the wrong problem and highlights the value of enabling individuals to learn and grow, fostering their autonomy and self-sufficiency. By refraining from rescuing them and instead being a guide in their journey, he believes coaches can add value to their clients' lives. How to Work with Almost Anyone Michael's latest book, How to Work with Almost Anyone: Five Essential Questions, addresses the critical aspect of working relationships and their impact on success and happiness. The book explores having "almost" working relationships, where some individuals may present challenges. Michael invites readers to consider how improving key working relationships can lead to positive outcomes. The title resonates with many, as almost everyone has experienced challenging working relationships at some point. The book offers essential questions and insights to help individuals navigate and enhance those crucial connections. Building the Best Possible Relationships Michael emphasizes the importance of having a keystone conversation with colleagues or employees before diving into work. He explains that the keystone conversation is about understanding each other's best qualities, preferred working practices, past successful and frustrating experiences, and how to repair the relationship when things go wrong. He points out that having this conversation can make working relationships less awkward and more productive. Creating Safe Environments Michael believes that while there may not always be a completely safe environment, there can be safe individuals. He explains that psychological safety is essential for people to feel comfortable expressing themselves honestly and openly. That is why fostering an environment where team members can be straightforward and share their positive and negative experiences is necessary. Applying Keystone Conversations Implementing keystone conversations in the orientation process can be valuable when onboarding new team members, enabling them to understand their colleagues' working styles and preferences. There are other contexts where that practice can also be helpful, such as hiring students and working in procurement to build better relationships and save time and money. The Five Questions of the Keystone Conversation The Amplify Question (People asking each other about the moments when they are at their best and in a flow state.) The Steady Question (Individuals discussing the logistics and mechanics of how they prefer to work together, including communication tools and working hours.) The Good Date Question (People learning from their past successful working relationships to understand what contributed to their success.) The Bad Date Question (Understanding past frustrating working relationships to avoid repeating negative patterns.) The Repair Question (Individuals agreeing on how to fix things when issues arise, emphasizing the inevitability of conflicts and the importance of addressing them constructively.)The Importance of Strong Working Relationships Michael stresses the significance of building strong working relationships. He explains that improving challenging relationships can profoundly impact the reduction of stress and the improvement of overall well-being. Fostering positive relationships and creating a safe and supportive environment can lead to more successful outcomes within and outside of organizations. Best Possible Relationship The "best possible relationship" concept connects with the keystone conversation. The best possible relationships are characterized by psychological safety, bravery, and the ability to repair themselves. The keystone conversation is a tactic to help individuals build such relationships by discussing their best qualities, working practices, past experiences, and ways to address challenges. Coaching Session with Brené Brown Michael had a personal experience of coaching Brené Brown during a podcast interview. He remembers being surprised when she asked him to coach her during the conversation and how he successfully guided her through the coaching process, showcasing the power of silence and active listening in coaching.

Have you ever given much thought to your breath, how you are breathing and ultimately how it is affecting your ability to stay in the zone?

Kendra Scott started her iconic brand with $500, a spare bedroom, and a newborn—and now her company is valued at over a billion dollars. The 1st Annual Scalable Impact LIVE took place in Austin, TX in early November of this year, and Kendra Scott was one of the big-name guests. She sat down with Roland Frasier to talk about how she started her business, how it became so wildly successful, and why she's so passionate about giving back. Listen in for some inspiration and brilliance from this woman on fire. How It All Started Kendra's first son was born on 11/11/01, just two months after 9/11. She vividly remembers what it felt like to be given this tiny human being in such an uncertain time. No one knew what the world was going to be like going forward, but there was an incredible opportunity for hope and connection. Kendra knew she wanted to be the best mom she could be, but she'd also loved fashion and design since she was a little girl. “If I could do what I loved,” she says, “that would be the greatest thing in the world.” Her first business failed, then her stepfather died, leaving her with this thought: “We have one life, and it is short and it is fast. While we're here, we need to use the gifts we've been given to do good.” She started her business very quietly, because she didn't want people to see her fail. She was terrified that people would laugh at her. How She Worked Through That Fear Fear is real, Kendra says, and it is okay to be scared. “I wake up every morning, leading a business that is bigger than it was the day before. I'm walking in uncharted territory every time I get out of bed.” It helps knowing she doesn't have to do it alone. She's not afraid to ask for help. Mentors are huge for her. And she has built “the most awesome team ever.” She has 3000 employees, and 96% of them are women. The brand is the DNA of all the people who work with her at her company. It's her name, but they're truly a team. She was alone in it for a long time. Now, when she has a problem, everyone puts their heads together and rolls up their sleeves, excited to help solve the problem. Choosing entrepreneurship means not choosing the easy route. It is so fun when it's fun and so scary when it's scary. Entrepreneurship is peaks and valleys, just like life. When you're in the valleys, you think this is it. I'm going to lose my business. When you start realizing you can get out of the valley, and you have a team doing it with you, it's so cool. You overcame something together, and your bond is so amazing. The Kendra Scott company is on a mission to do good. Their core values are family, fashion, and philanthropy, and their customers share those values. They're caring, optimistic, and fun, and have a heart that beats for their community. “You can put your team and your community first and still have a fiscally successful company,” Kendra says. “And now I'm teaching others how to do it.” What 2020 Was Like For Her Business In a retail business where you have 120 brick and mortar stores, “a pandemic isn't great,” Kendra says. She remembers all the news channels with their doomsday pronouncements of “brick and mortars have seen their last day.” She didn't sleep for a couple days in March 2020. She and her team went back to the white board and started completely over. They changed everything overnight. The only thing that didn't change was their core values. How do we stay true to our core values? was the only question that mattered. They did all their Kendra Gives Back events virtually. They created new connections with their customers—sending them letters, calling people and checking on them, making masks, delivering things to people's homes. They fought the urge to over-strategize. “We have to paint this train while it's moving,” Kendra told her team. They couldn't stop the train. They knew they might make mistakes, but they were determined just to learn from them. You can't be inflexible and unwilling to change your plans. You've got to be agile. You've got to pivot. Or you won't survive. How She Managed Growth While Maintaining Control When Kendra first started her company, no one would invest in her. She had two small sons, went through a divorce, had no investors, and was doing everything on lines of credit. She signed everything she owned up for collateral. Her sister, who had a good job, moved in with her to help with rent. She couldn't pay for her tiny team and couldn't afford to lose anyone. She sold her car to pay a vendor for stones and jewelry. Looking back, she says she's not really sure how she did it. But she would look at her sons' little faces and think, “Failure is not an option. We are going to figure this out.” She didn't get any investment capital until 10 years after she started her business. After 10 years, she wanted the cadence of going to a board on a quarterly basis and getting feedback. So she set up an advisory board with three people and gave them an earned-in, very small equity position over a four-year period. One of them became her first investor. He gave her a very generous $20 million evaluation and bought 5% of the company. Building a Team and Stepping Away from CEO Bringing on a COO changed everything for her. She read a book by Marcus Buckingham called Now Discover Your Strengths that talks about writing down everything you love and loathe. She loved the customers, engaging, design, marketing, and creation of the experience. She loathed dealing with vendors and negotiating marketing contracts. She knew she needed a team that loved the things she loathed. She hired a COO and everything elevated, because she was no longer doing the things that sucked the life out of her. She knew she wanted someone with a personality that fit with hers, a winner, someone with passion and drive, who gets excited about this age and stage of a business. He got an offer from Whole Foods at the same time that Kendra couldn't match, but he saw something in the Kendra Scott company that he believed in. His equity position turned into $40 million. Kendra recently stepped away from CEO into a chairwoman position. After 20 years, her strengths have changed. “The biggest impact I can have is to be out there and focus on our core pillars,” she says. “I'm out in stores, I'm on calls. I want to learn so I can make this brand better every day. The philanthropy pillar is huge for me. My mission is to get more women entrepreneurs funded and help them be successful in their businesses.” She sees the Kendra Scott brand as a pre-teen. Ralph Lauren did men's ties for 25 years before he branched into other things. This doesn't happen overnight. She knows there are opportunities to expand beyond jewelry, but she doesn't want to do just anything. She wants to do it thoughtfully. She wants to see where the white space is, where the gaps are. Where are things her customers need and desire that they can't find? It's got to be something disruptive, and that excites her. We all have the opportunity to change the world, she says. Lead with your heart. Let your team fly. Give them the tools to soar. When they become leaders like you, that's how you'll know you've become a true success.

Though success is something many people strive for, it has also been the byproduct of escape for many. Facing yourself in the mirror, the story you tell about yourself, and the heartache and trauma you've experienced can take the back seat in pursuit of greatness. Maybe enough success will make it all hurt less. Bobby Hall, AKA Logic, hasn't had an easy start in life. Coming from an abusive family, exposed to too much at a young age has a role in how he arrived at throwing himself into his art and being one of the greatest rappers in hip hop. Bobby breaks down his journey, why he wrote his memoir and where he is now ending the career of Logic that he's spent over a decade building. Bobby's Bio: As an author, Logic released the novel Supermarket (2019), which was accompanied by a soundtrack of the same name. The book became a New York Times Best Seller, but both works received generally mixed to negative critical reception. Logic is also a streamer, and signed exclusively with Twitch, becoming the first musician to do so.

But we can't let it stop us from doing what we love.” [35:40] “So many people have underlining things that they deal with personally, that nobody else would know [...] you got to live with it, adaptation. It's one of our greatest features. [39:46] “When I look at other people, when they tell me their dreams, and their ambitions, and all this, I see this child inside of them that is pure and excited, and I root for that person.” [43:21] “Being happy with the person I see in the mirror. has allowed me to not let that bitterness grow” [54:47] “It took me being physically the strongest I'd ever been, the biggest I'd ever been in my life, to realize that all of that had nothing to do with strength, and that I had been strong my whole life. And I didn't need some outward physique to show me that or prove that to anybody else.” [56:32] “Looking in the mirror now older, I've realized, everyone's full of shit. Nobody knows what they're talking about. I don't know shit. Why am I worried about this?” [58:22] “Taking away the words of people and the thoughts that have been implanted in my head by people about myself is probably the most freeing thing I've been working on.” [59:28] “I soaked up every piece of information that I could, so that I could be better at what I wanted to do, and if you are not prepared to wake up every day, to kind of like, fuck your life up, you know, turn down dates and hanging out with friends and all these things. Then don't do it.” [1:06:47] “It was worth it up into that moment.

CrossFade turned 1 last month and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it’s been received! To celebrate, we welcomed the guest from our very first episode back to the show: MinnMax founder Ben Hanson (https://twitter.com/yozetty)! In a weird way, Ben’s pick (Girl Talk’s “Feed the Animals”) reminds us of CrossFade itself – unorthodox pairings that always dig up something new – but moreover, it’s an album he goes back to both for “dumb fun” and to marvel at the editorial decisions made to mash up well-loved classics and obscure references. There’s a Shakespearean tragedy at the heart of Prince Paul’s “A Prince Among Thieves,” but that doesn’t stop it from getting a little silly at times. Matt chose it because it felt like a midway point between Nas’s “Illmatic” and the Hamilton soundtrack – both episodes Ben was previously on! (That clever fella.) Even if you’ve never heard of the people on it, it’s worth a spin as an audio story with solid bars and nasty production throughout. Some really fun questions from the CrossFade community get us talking about our MLB walk up songs, misleading band names, our nostalgia binge music, and why more people don’t admit “The Beatles” is kind of a dumb name.

Here is where it all started - we realized we needed to make a larger impact, and we found that we could do that by encouraging, equipping, and empowering leaders in the for-profit AND the non-profit world to become better and do more. We're excited for you to join us in the movement.
“The core of everything… is based on how we feel about ourselves.” - Jonathan Masiulionis Sometimes loving ourselves is a challenge that often results in negative emotions. We even tell ourselves that we should not cheat on some of the greatest experiences of our entire life. Today, Jonathan Masiulionis explains how self-love results to being in alignment with all dimensions. Self-love is not being selfish. It’s the only way we can provide a service that’s much more genuine and heartfelt. Jonathan sheds light on how self-love equates to caring about your time, your energy, your boundaries, your mission, and serving others. How you feel about yourself reflects greatly on your personal and professional life. Listen in and discover how you can live your life with a higher purpose by starting off with you.

A number of years ago my wife Esther developed a personal health care system. While overseeing her mother’s care, she found inconsistencies and errors in the medical information at doctor’s offices, hospitals, emergency rooms and labs. As a result, she put together a personal medical system which she called the “Personal Healthcare Portfolio”. Listening to my wife Esther explain “How It All Started!”.

Mentors 4 Teens: College, Scholarship, and Career Guidance Podcast
Episode 21: Commercial Sales, Advertising, and Music Festivals w. Stephanie Rosa Featuring: Stephanie Rosa, Commercial Sales & Advertising Mentor Bio: Stephanie Rosa has been in medical device sales since graduating college from the University of Illinois. She quickly rose to be the #2 device representative in her company. Stephanie has worked in various sales roles within the medical world. After a year sabbatical to travel the world alone, Stephanie returned back into medical sales and began to pursue her passion within the festival and music industry. Stephanie now works full time in a corporate sales role, while also running a 40 person media team dedicated to music festivals. Industry Overview: What do Commercial Sales Professionals do? Wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives sell goods for wholesalers or manufacturers to businesses, government agencies, and other organizations. They contact customers, explain the features of the products they are selling, negotiate prices, and answer any questions that their customers may have about the products. What does their work environment look like? Wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives work under pressure because their income and job security depend on the amount of merchandise they sell. Some sales representatives travel frequently. How do you become a Sales Professional? Educational requirements vary for sales representatives and depend on the type of products sold. If the products are not scientific or technical, a high school diploma is generally sufficient for entry into the occupation. If the products are scientific or technical, sales representatives typically need at least a bachelor's degree. What additional skills that they typically don’t teach in school do you need? New employees may be trained by going along with experienced workers on their sales calls. As they gain familiarity with the firm’s products and clients, the new workers gain more responsibility until they eventually get their own territory. Strong social skills, understanding how to persuade, network, and get people to like you play a crucial role. What is the pay? The median annual wage for sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, except technical and scientific products was $57,140 in May 2016. The median annual wage for sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, technical and scientific products was $78,980 in May 2016. Future demand in marketplace? Overall employment of wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives is projected to grow 5 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Employment opportunities should be best in independent agencies, which operate on a fee basis and represent several manufacturers, instead of buying and holding the product they are selling. Overall… Job opportunities should be best for those with previous sales experience. Although the large size of the occupations creates many job openings, the relatively high pay will also likely attract a large number of applicants. US news rates a sales representative as # 4 in best marketing jobs which ranks them based on 5 categories ( salary, job market, future growth, stress, and work-life balance); with marketing manager, sales manager, insurance sales agent coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. Todd's personal opinion… If you love to talk to people, are personable, like to travel, are up for a little bit of a cut throat industry where the potential to make good money right out of College this could be right up your alley. I know the medium numbers is $78K for technical, BUT, I have quite a few friends that make well over 7-figures selling products only a couple years out of college. In fact, a good friend of mine in the bay area sells carpet and makes 160K per year... and he isn’t even on the top! It requires charisma, high energy, and you need to be good and persuading people to take action. Show Notes: [1:55] - Intro. [2:35] - Meet This Week's Guest... Stephanie Rosa!

You and Who is now available to pre-order(with a provisional publishing date of December 12th 2011)from the Hirst Books website:The legend Babelcolour gives a reading on his YouTube channel:It looks like there'll be an 'official launch' at the Hirst Books Christmas Event in Newbury, on Saturday 10th December, where I'll be signing copies of You and Who, hopefully alongside other, more respectable Hirst authors, such as Michael Troughton and John Leeson, potentially - but not Colin Baker, alas, who'll be appearing in panto in Mansfield that day! More news as and when.“It's a wonderful idea, and I'll be sure to buy the book.”Robert Shearman(author The Chimes of Midnight, Dalek, Tiny Deaths, Love Songs For the Shy and Cynical)You and Who is the definitive volume on what it means to be a Doctor Who fan.The book has been written almost entirely by previously unpublished authors, from the ages of six to sixty, and comprises more than sixty-six essays on the subject of how and why it is that we have come to love Doctor Who.Whether it be a tale of meeting the sixth Doctor, building up a huge library of VHS tapes, or discovering the programme through satellite channel repeats, there's a story in here that almost any fan will recognise as their own.Beautifully written, filled with warmth and generosity, witty and delightful, You and Who is a book that no Doctor Who fan should be without.Available 1 12 2011 from Hirst Publishing.The proceeds will be donated to Children in Need.- J.R. Southall So, here is the contents page! I've arranged the order of the submissions into that which I think best serves the material (and the authors), and I've tried to ensure that no essays too similar sit right next to one another in the book - unless I've specifiaclly wanted them to do so (there were a couple of instances of this).
