Phil Green has had a successful career in music and sports.  For what he describes as his "third act," Phil is now overseeing Follow the Music, a nonprofit in his hometown of Oakland, California.   Follow the Music provides artist development, booking and management services to young artists — to shine a light on their talents and bring visibility to the programs that helped develop them.     Chapters: 00:00 Introducing Phil Green and Follow the Music  Bill Burke introduces Phil Green, co-founder of Follow the Music, an organization dedicated to fostering young musical talent in Oakland. Phil's extensive background in sports and music, including managing Grammy winner Fantastic Negrito, led him to create this non-profit.  02:05 From Ronnie Lott's Idea to Follow the Music  Phil Green shares how a conversation with NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott about a new venue sparked the idea for Follow the Music.   04:32 Fantastic Negrito's Journey and Industry Lessons  Phil recounts the incredible comeback story of Fantastic Negrito, who achieved Grammy success at 50 after a major label dropped him and a severe accident. This experience highlighted the music industry's challenges and the importance of artists finding their unique voice, shaping Phil's current work with young people.  08:33 The Genesis and Mission of Follow the Music Phil elaborates on the founding of Follow the Music, emphasizing its mission to help young artists follow their true passions and express their authentic selves.   11:57 Supporting Young Artists and Community  Phil explains how Follow the Music collaborates with institutions like the Oakland School for the Arts to develop and showcase young musicians. By leveraging his connections, Phil creates high-visibility opportunities for these artists at major festivals and sporting events, helping them navigate the competitive music landscape.  15:15 Inspiring Hope Through Youthful Energy  Phil describes Follow the Music as more than just artist development; it's about connecting the Bay Area to support music education and celebrating the vibrant spirit of young artists. He believes their courage and vulnerability offer hope and inspiration in a divided world, marking his 'third act' dedicated to empowering the next generation.  23:17 Oakland Rising at the Kennedy Center  Phil shares the powerful story of Oakland Rising's performance at the Kennedy Center, where the group faced a dilemma due to prior boycotts. Half the band chose to perform as a trio, displaying incredible grace and mutual support despite differing opinions, delivering a stunning and emotionally charged performance.  27:39 Resilience and Reinvention in Oakland  Phil addresses the challenges faced by Oakland, including the departure of major sports teams, but emphasizes the city's pride and resilience. He expresses optimism about the burgeoning arts and culture scene and new community-focused sports teams like the Oakland Ballers, which are rebuilding the city's vibrant spirit from the ground up.  31:16 Music's Transformational Power and Life Skills  Phil clarifies that Follow the Music's primary goal isn't just to produce professional musicians but to illuminate the transformational power of music for personal growth. He highlights how music education, much like sports, teaches discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, filling a vital gap in youth development.  36:18 Future Vision and Lasting Impact  Phil sees Follow the Music as a model for other cities, aiming to uplift existing music education programs rather than replicate them. He reflects on the deep personal reward of helping young people navigate the future through music, emphasizing that the impact on their lives has far surpassed his initial expectations.

Reaching the next generation is something that we talk about a lot on the shows. How do we get the young people in our churches to continue to follow Christ with everything that they have? To live for Christ has been a challenge for every church age and for every generation, but Gen Z is uniquely complicated. They live in a world that prizes self-expression that discourages conviction. They celebrate spirituality but they reject absolute truth because that's just the world in which they live in. They can't even trust their own eyes many times.As pastors, parents, and mentors, how do we not only help young believers to take their faith seriously, but also inspire them to be bold, evangelical, unashamed and mission minded?In a culture that often labels faith in Christianity as intolerant. These are things that our kids face. Now, on today's show, we are talking with Austin Dutton, pastor at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Lawton, Alabama. He makes an investment in the youth there. Young adults and student ministry alike. And we're going to talk with him about what it looks like for parents, churches and youth pastors to encourage our youth to move from silent belief to outspoken faith.Visit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore

In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome Sir Gareth Southgate, a renowned figure in English football and a symbol of leadership both on and off the pitch. Gareth is best known for his leadership as manager of the England men's national football team from 2016 to 2024. Under his guidance, the team reached the semi-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, and the finals of UEFA's European Championships in 2020 and 2024. His leadership was marked by his ability to reconnect the team with its fans, instil a sense of pride in representing England, and foster a culture of integrity and respect. Before transitioning to management, Gareth had a distinguished playing career, making over 500 league appearances for clubs like Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Middlesbrough. He captained both Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, leading them to League Cup wins and a UEFA Cup final. His leadership as a player was rooted in the values of discipline, hard work, and mutual respect for all members of the team. Gareth's managerial journey began at Middlesbrough before he took charge of the England Under-21s, ultimately stepping into the senior England manager role. He reflects on his early experiences and the leadership lessons learned from those around him, including his youth coach at Crystal Palace, who instilled the importance of discipline and challenge. Gareth also highlights the impact of his time at Aston Villa, where he learned valuable leadership lessons from senior players, who demonstrated generosity and selflessness despite being in competition for a starting role. Throughout the podcast, Gareth talks about the importance of leadership values such as integrity, respect, and treating everyone equally, regardless of their role in the team. He believes in the power of empathy and emotional intelligence, emphasising that being a good leader is not just about making decisions but about understanding the needs and perspectives of those you lead. Gareth also shares how he learned to delegate more effectively as he progressed in his leadership career, recognising that trust in others is essential for a successful team dynamic. He also reflects on the generational challenges facing young leaders today, particularly in terms of social skills like making eye contact and saying good morning. Gareth stresses the importance of empathy and creating an environment where people feel psychologically safe enough to speak up and offer their views. He acknowledges that leadership is an ongoing journey of growth and learning, always striving to improve and adapt to new challenges. In addition to his football career, Gareth is passionate about youth development and resilience. He's an ambassador for the Prince's Trust and a patron of Help for Heroes, working to support young people and veterans. He has also written books, including We Only Do Positive for youth football and Anything is Possible, a motivational guide for young people. Gareth's new book, Dear England: Lessons in Leadership, is set to delve deeper into his leadership journey and the lessons he's learned from his time managing England. This book promises to provide insight into his approach to leadership, the challenges he faced, and how he navigated them to build a winning team. Gareth hopes to inspire readers by sharing the leadership principles that have guided him throughout his career, aiming to encourage the next generation of leaders to trust themselves, embrace failure, and always strive for improvement.

Abi Murray invites us to a cup of coffee and a nice conversation care of the Chatty Cafe Scheme. This all began on a typical wet and windy UK day when Abi's sister Alex Hoskyn was in a supermarket café with her four month old son, who wasn't great company, and she herself was feeling a bit tired and a bit fed up. Alex looked around the cafe and saw others who looked just as down as she felt herself and she started to think about the positive impact we can have on one other simply by sitting together and communicating. She knew from her own experience that when you are feeling lonely, a short conversation with another human can really brighten your day. It was in that very moment her ‘Chatter & Natter' table idea began (in her head where all dreams do) and it soon became reality. Now in 900 cafes throughout the UK and an additional 200 in Australia, the Chatty Cafe Scheme allows anyone feeling lonely to take a seat and connect. Abi shares the journey she and Alex have been on and the importance of creating community. We also speak with volunteer John Ford about his experience with this organization and what it's meant to him to connect with others as someone who moved to the UK from another country himself. Grab a cup of coffee and join us, won't you? _________________________ Steve is busy at work on the third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES.

Send us a textHere's the story of an SGV native building community through coffee. Raised in Covina and West Covina and now rooted in Pasadena, Melissa Spolar blends events, marketing, nonprofit work, and café culture to connect neighbors and small businesses. She created the Pasadena Coffee Passport to spotlight the city's specialty shops and invite locals and visitors to explore together.Her community-building chops were sharpened inside social enterprise coffee, where she helped operationalize youth workforce programs and day-to-day café impact in Pasadena. That experience informs how she curates shops, designs activations, and measures what actually moves the needle for small businesses.Looking ahead, she's developing the Highland Park Coffee Passport and laying the groundwork for Nightcap Collective, a neighborhood social club meant to spark face-to-face connection after hours. The goal is simple: create intentional spaces—day and night—where people can meet, talk, and support local spots.In this episode, we dig into how a simple idea—stamp your way through local cafés—became a platform for small-business discovery, creator collaborations, and neighborhood pride. We cover partner selection, passport mechanics, shop economics, and how coffee culture can anchor inclusive community spaces across the San Gabriel Valley and Northeast LA. Keywords: Pasadena Coffee Passport, Highland Park Coffee Passport, Pasadena coffee shops, SGV cafés, coffee crawl, coffee community, social enterprise, Nightcap Collective.__________Music CreditsIntroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OGStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OG__________________My SGV Podcast:Website: www.mysgv.netNewsletter: Beyond the MicPatreon: MySGV Podcastinfo@sgvmasterkey.com

Transcript:Ca: La claror suau del matí d'una tardor fresca omplia la biblioteca de l'institut.En: The soft morning light of a cool autumn filled the library of the institut.Ca: Els prestatges, plens de llibres, oferien una sensació de tranquil·litat als estudiants que buscaven coneixement i refugi.En: The shelves, full of books, provided a sense of tranquility to the students seeking knowledge and refuge.Ca: Marcel, amb el cap penjat sobre una pila de llibres, estava immers en els preparatius per al proper torneig de debat.En: Marcel, with his head bowed over a pile of books, was immersed in preparations for the upcoming debate tournament.Ca: Al seu costat, Anna i Jordi repassaven amb ell les estratègies.En: Next to him, Anna and Jordi were reviewing strategies with him.Ca: Tots tres formaven l'equip que representaria l'institut en el torneig regional.En: The three of them formed the team that would represent the institut in the regional tournament.Ca: Havien sentit rumors sobre Barcelona High, qui es deia que havien guanyat amb gran destresa l'any anterior.En: They had heard rumors about Barcelona High, who were said to have won with great skill the previous year.Ca: Aquesta pressió augmentava la sensació de nervis a Marcel, que volia conduir el seu equip cap a la victòria.En: This pressure increased the nervousness in Marcel, who wanted to lead his team to victory.Ca: Marcel va aixecar el cap i va observar les fulles ballant fora de la finestra, un recordatori del temps que avançava cap al Dia de Tots Sants.En: Marcel raised his head and watched the leaves dancing outside the window, a reminder of time moving towards All Saints' Day.Ca: Aquestes fulles queien, però sempre tornaven a néixer.En: These leaves fell, but always came back to life.Ca: Potser ell també podria aixecar-se després de cada caiguda.En: Perhaps he too could rise after every fall.Ca: Amb tenacitat, Marcel va decidir fer un pas valent: es va oferir per presentar els arguments més difícils.En: With tenacity, Marcel decided to take a bold step: he offered to present the most difficult arguments.Ca: Sabia que això l'ajudaria a superar el seu temor de parlar en públic.En: He knew this would help him overcome his fear of public speaking.Ca: Anna i Jordi li van somriure amb confiança.En: Anna and Jordi smiled at him with confidence.Ca: "Confiem en tu, Marcel," va dir l'Anna amb fermesa, mentre en Jordi li donava un cop d'espatlla amic.En: "We trust you, Marcel," said Anna firmly, while Jordi gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder.Ca: El dia del debat va arribar amb un aire fresc i revigorant.En: The day of the debate arrived with a fresh and invigorating air.Ca: Marcel es va trobar de peu davant del públic.En: Marcel found himself standing before the audience.Ca: Al principi, les paraules vacil·laren als seus llavis.En: At first, words faltered on his lips.Ca: La por li empenyia el cor.En: Fear pushed at his heart.Ca: Però un record va emergir: les hores passades a la biblioteca, els somriures i la confiança dels seus amics.En: But a memory emerged: the hours spent in the library, the smiles and confidence of his friends.Ca: Amb una profunda respiració, Marcel va reunir forçes.En: With a deep breath, Marcel gathered strength.Ca: La seva veu es va fer més ferma.En: His voice became firmer.Ca: Va articular cada argument amb una claredat impressionant.En: He articulated each argument with impressive clarity.Ca: La competició era ajustada, però quan Marcel va acabar la seva intervenció final, l'auditori estava en silenci absolut.En: The competition was close, but when Marcel finished his final speech, the auditorium was in absolute silence.Ca: Després d'uns moments d'espera, l'anunci del jurat va arribar: l'institut de Marcel havia guanyat per poca diferència.En: After a few moments of waiting, the jury's announcement came: Marcel's institut had won by a small margin.Ca: Les abraçades van ser immediates i sinceres.En: The hugs were immediate and heartfelt.Ca: Marcel va respirar profundament, sentint un pes alliberat de les seves espatlles.En: Marcel breathed deeply, feeling a weight lifted from his shoulders.Ca: Amb el triomf, Marcel va comprendre que el seu valor no depenia només de guanyar o perdre.En: With the triumph, Marcel realized that his courage did not rely solely on winning or losing.Ca: Va entendre que el suport i la confiança dels seus amics havien estat el seu veritable fortalesa.En: He understood that the support and trust of his friends had been his true strength.Ca: La celebració del Dia de Tots Sants, amb el seu significat de record i renovació, ressonava fortament en el seu cor aquella tarda.En: The celebration of All Saints' Day, with its meaning of remembrance and renewal, resonated strongly in his heart that afternoon.Ca: Des d'aquell dia, Marcel va portar amb ell una nova confiança, sabent que la victòria més gran era la de creure en ell mateix i en el seu equip.En: From that day on, Marcel carried with him a newfound confidence, knowing that the greatest victory was believing in himself and in his team.Ca: Així, la biblioteca no va ser només un lloc de preparació per a debats, sinó un espai on va aprendre les veritables lliçons de la vida.En: Thus, the library was not just a place for preparing debates but a space where he learned life's true lessons.
