Podcast appearances and mentions of john mcentire

Join me on a fascinating journey through the life and insights of John McEntire, a global citizen whose experiences span over five decades and traverse the cultural landscapes of Japan, Taiwan, Qatar, and beyond. John holds a certification with Jack Canfield to teach the success principles and has visits to 40 countries under his belt.  He has also developed a unique perspective on how cultural understanding and synchronization can transform organizations and communities.Through his time in Qatar's multicultural workforce and extensive global travels, John developed the SYNC system, a revolutionary approach to building consensus and bridging cultural divides. Drawing from his past experiences in theater and international travel, John emphasizes the power of demonstration over explanation when sharing cultural insights, believing that immersive experiences create lasting understanding.Perhaps most interesting is John's exploration of intuition and personal development in cross-cultural settings. His observations of Japan's synchronized society, particularly in transportation and childhood education, contrast beautifully with Western practices, offering valuable lessons for building cultures of belonging and respect. Through his upcoming book, John shares how these principles of synchronization can create harmony in both business and community settings, drawing on rich examples from his global experience. Listen in to learn the profound and invisible ways that cultural cross-pollination can enrich our lives and our organisations wherever we live and work.

This week's guest Joe Tunis (Carbon Records, Pengo) once again guides us into the world of post-rock, with Chicago-by-way-of-Kentucky band Gastr del Sol and their 1994 Drag City release 'Crookt, Crackt, or Fly'. Like many of their adjacent bands - Slint, Tortoise, Bastro...etc - the music on this mysterious record is often hard to define. It's a strange, evocative amalgamation of unconventional guitar virtuosity, subtle tape-work and occasional forays into full-on math rock that's definitely not for the timid.

This week's show covers new music from London's Hot Chip, Brighton's Wax Machine, a collaboration between Chicago's Sam Prekop and John McEntire, and the team-up of Paris's Biche with the LA band Pearl & The Oysters. For the archive track this week, Brendan goes back to 1992 for some mutant hardcore punk on the melodic side of that scene. This band was signed to Sub Pop Records at the time, which was about the best indie label on the scene in those days.

Démissionnaire de son poste à London Records, Bettina Richards souhaite créer un label en phase avec les attentes des artistes. Avec un capital de 35 000 dollars et inspirée par d'autres pionniers de la musique alternative comme Touch and Go, Sub Pop, et Dischord, elle fonde en 92 à New-York, le label Thrill Jockey. Un nom qui vient de celui d'une bande de délinquants d'un film de série B.  Les premières années, elle gère le label depuis son appartement de Manhattan, tout en travaillant chez un disquaire alternatif du New-Jersey. Afin de se rapprocher de Touch and Go et de son réseau d'artistes, le label déménage à Chicago en 1995. Les taxes et les loyers y sont moins onéreux qu'à New-York et le label profite de la scène locale underground très active. Bettina Richards trouve un emploi de barmaid qui lui permettra de diriger le label sans se rémunérer pendant plusieurs années. Elle dirigera Thrill Jockey seule jusqu'en 1997.  Le deuxième album de Freakwater devient le premier succès commercial de Thrill Jockey. Tortoise, en vendant 100 000 exemplaires des ses derniers albums, est la principale locomotive économique du label. Le groupe permet ainsi à d'autres projets de ne vendre que 2 000 disques pour rentrer dans leurs frais, offrant ainsi à Thrill Jockey une immense liberté artistique.  John McEntire, membre des groupes Tortoise et The Sea & Cake, mais aussi ingénieur du son et propriétaire du studio d'enregistrement de Chicago : Soma, participe à la production de nombreux albums d'artistes du label ce qui contribue grandement à la baisse des coûts de production.  Bénéficiant d'une structure légère et de capacités à se promouvoir en ligne, Thrill Jockey résiste à l'arrivée d'internet et du peer to peer qui voit le secteur de la musique s'effondrer au début des années 2000. Le label est ainsi l'un des premiers à proposer l'écoute gratuite, puis la vente en ligne de ses albums. Même si aux débuts du label, les artistes de Chicago constituaient l'essentiel du catalogue, il s'est rapidement élargi à d'autres groupes. Les collaborateurs du label piochent dans tous les genres musicaux en partant du principe que s'ils aiment un album il y a de fortes chances qu'ils ne soient pas les seuls. En plus de 25 ans, Thrill Jockey a sorti des albums de genres musicaux très différents, allant du rock indé, en passant par le metal, le punk, la folk, la musique électronique, et le rock d'avant-garde.

Barry McLuskie and Alan Clarke joined me again to record the second Teenage Fanclub Fanclub podcast. This time we focused on 2005's Man-Made album. "We hardly took any equipment, just some guitars and a pair of drumsticks." - Norman Blake As we recorded the Long Way Round podcast in February, the three of us found we had been listening to (and greatly appreciating) Man-Made. Three songs made it on to our Long Way Round (imaginary) compilation. There is a freshness to the album. The band have moved on from Creation/Sony, the 2003 career spanning compilation 4766 Seconds - A Shortcut to Teenage Fanclub helped to draw a line in the sand, Francis MacDonald returns on drums, the band have set up their own PeMa label and they have decamped to Chicago to record with John McEntire from Tortoise on production duties. We hope you enjoy the discussion surrounding the album, each song, b-sides and shows from the era, our thoughts and the odd tangent we head off on! Track the album down on vinyl or CD if you can. Thanks Murray

On today's episode I talk to musician Sam Prekop. Sam grew up in Chicago and while he went to art school, forming the band Shrimp Boat sent him off in a completely different direction. When the band broke up in the early '90s, he formed The Sea and Cake with Archer Prewitt of The Coctails and Tortoise's John McEntire, and over the last two and a half decades, they've released 11 albums, the most recent being 2018's Any Day. As a solo artist, Sam has released four albums, all on Thrill Jockey, and his latest Comma will be out this September!

How To Rapidly Grow Your Sales Through An Effective Message & A Powerful Sales Script   A message and a powerful sales script are important to rapidly grow your business. These strategies can take your sales game from zero to hero.  Matthew Pollard was a customer before he became a game-changer and a rapid growth expert. He was 21 when he met the most unbelievable salesperson he'd ever met. The man was part of the Wine Selector's club. Matthew grew up in a relatively poor neighborhood so beer, straight vodka or bourbon had been his drink of choice. He wasn't a wine person but the salesman's script was so good he bought it.  Matt signed up for a club membership and collected wine for 7-8 months before he moved houses. He started drinking wine and has become a huge fan.   When Matthew told this salesman he'd purchased the wine because of the sales pitch, he was told the secret was to tell the same story every time.  What made it so effective was that because he knew the script so well, he could guarantee a great performance consistently, and was developing better versions of his story each time.    That resonated with Matthew. The idea of a sales script was something new for him and he wanted to work on it.    What is script sales? A sales script can initially sound robotic and monotone. It's similar to an actor who is reading a script for the first time.  In that first run, there's no guarantee that it's going to sound great. What will develop the performance is practice. It's practice that will give life to the scripted words.    Actors can embody their characters so well because they run their lines repeatedly. The same is true in sales. When you're able to connect with your customer from a script, then you know you've practiced enough to make the script a natural part of your pitch.    Practice and more practice    Practice a sales script until it  becomes who you are. Tell the jokes and stories repeatedly, watch what works and doesn't work, and continue to hone the storytelling until you are getting positive reactions in the places you want your client to react. The story could be as simple as how you met your spouse to how you tried and failed to climb Mount Everest. You will get better about crafting your joke or story so it's more engaging. It's going to take time before you get comfortable but once it does, your sales script will be so effective.    Famous Australian comedian, Jim Owen, does stand up comedy and his shtick is to riff on topics people want him to talk about or he'll find random objects in the room.  He finds humor in all of it. He admits that it's a huge amount of work for a comedian to come across as original and authentic in the moment. He also adds that part of what he does is scripted and then he practices and rehearses the script until it makes people laugh. How he prepares is to make sure he thinks of all the variables in the room so he can be ready for any eventuality.   The key to sales scripting  As comedians practice to hone their craft, so should salespeople sharpen their scripts.   There are generally four or five problems when you're selling a specific product or service. If you're good at creating a unified message, finding a niche of clients to target, and you're able to sell, then you have most of the problems solved.  The only thing that should vary is how you respond to the problems and questions that come up. Your answer should highlight the benefits that fit their special needs.    Salespeople  want to get really good about differentiating their products and services from their competition and they need to know the profile of their ideal customer. They need to know what their sales goals.    Steps to looking for the right customers  You never want to pick a market that your competencies can't support. You can't classify yourself as an expert in something you know nothing about.  Instead, look for a specific person or group of people that benefit from your offer the most. What is the profile of the client that provides the best revenue?  Knowing this will allow you to offer a product or service that is specific and work best for their needs. It makes selling so much easier and helps to alleviate competitions because you've already differentiated your niche market. This is the perfect time to present your sales script, when you know the specific group of people will move you to rapid growth. When your script is well-crafted, you have a higher rate of closing.  Case example: Beijing Language Academy  One of Mattew's clients was a language institute called Beijing Language Academy. They were having a difficult time charging more than $50-80 for a one-on-one consultation. It was a massive problem for them.  Matthew was called in to help and helped them come up with their sales goals and customer avatar. When they looked at their existing clients, they found that they weren't only giving language lessons but their academy was also teaching their customers how to become successful in China. Hence, China Success Institute was born. It's now an education course for executives, their spouses, and their children who are being relocated to China. They now charge $30,000 for the program and they don't have any problem selling it. They key was thinking about their branding even before they came up with the sales script.    Focus on your branding  John McEntire is a podcaster and he sells an autoresponder for $1,200. Although he was doing okay and was able to sell his premiums, he had the wrong messaging. He was fighting against bigger competitors who assumed that people knew what an autoresponder is. With Matthew's guidance, they changed their branding. They went to educating their customers on inquiry re-engagement and focused on going into real estate agencies using a sales script that would allow them to grow their platform. By creating a unified message that highlighted the benefits, they were able to change John's niche market from online businesses to people who are established in brick and mortar businesses. What should you do?   Matthew's podcast is called Better Business Coach and his focus is to share how a salesperson can become successful using a sales script. He suggests salespeople write down three business goals and three personal goals. One of them should be to be absolutely selfish because this will serve as their driving force. He then tells them to use the smart criteria and directs them to summarize their goals into 250 words or less, including their “why statement” and why these goals are important to them. The next step is to write down their avatar and mind dump every single person they've successfully worked with. After they have their list of customers, they write down everything they do for these customers.  The last piece is to find the higher purpose and make it the end goal. Matthew's point in this exercise is for his clients to see if their goals conflict with the people they associate with and adjust accordingly.   As a salesperson, it can be scary to try new things but think positively and put your best foot forward. Having a script allows you to work smarter, not harder.    “How To Rapidly Grow Your Sales Through An Effective Message & A Powerful Sales Script” episode resources   Find Mathew Pollard at matthewpollard.guru.

This episode is a nod to the crate diggers. Phil Ranelin may be considered underground, but he's an artist of large stature in the world of rare grooves. Sought after by collectors, and for use of samples and remixes, Ranelin's music is now widely accepted which nearly eluded him since he began back in the '60s. His Collected Works 2003- 2019 from Wide Hive Records prove what a treasure he is. You don't even have to take our word for it, Motown, Stevie Wonder, Freddie Hubbard, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and John McEntire of Tortoise have been hip to the notion all along. Ranelin's music is all his own, leaning towards an Afro-centric soul vibe with a dissonant cry of freedom, future, and self-expression. Along for the ride is fellow jazz titan Pharoah Sanders, and young lion Kamasi Washington. We got Mr. Ranelin on the line to share his thoughts and feelings about this proper retrospective. Crate digging is generally a pastime involving vinyl records, but it could be applied to books and rare artifacts–something Josh Frank does all at once. First an author (notably of the post-modern biography In Heaven Everything Is Fine and co-author with Frank Black of the Pixies in The Good Inn), and now a pop culture explorer, Frank unearthed, "directed," and scored the long lost film project between surrealist artist Salvador Dali and the Marx Brothers. Need a minute to ponder that? Wait 'til you hear the title: Giraffes On Horseback Salad. Frank has done the impossible by adapting this once long-lost curio as a fully formed, eye-popping graphic novel. In keeping with Dali's wishes, he also produced a soundtrack in the vein of Cole Porter with the help of Pepe Deluxe and Quin Arbeitman. It's a score that's all things old Hollywood, absurd, delightful and as zany as anything the Marx Brothers did during their time on earth, and now in the hereafter. Or is it? Josh Frank helps makes heads or tail of it all. ABOUT THE MAJOR SCALE: Your attention please to a new program that celebrates and takes a fresh and bold look at the great American art form- JAZZ!!! The Major Scale is the title, the motto and the mission are, Jazz- past, present, future, and everything in between. A lot of focus will be on new and fresh sounds, deep cuts, closer looks at underrated artists, taking a different look at some of the titans of the genre, and getting the two cents worth from a number of surprise guests and sources. The Major Scale can boast amongst it's guests- legends like Herbie Hancock, Tom Scott, and Ahmad Jamal. The up and coming and the underrated-Kamasi Washington, Mia Doi Todd, Michael Blake. Fresh perspectives and commentary from the likes of Rock legend Al Kooper, who weighed in on the gospel. From The New Yorker, Amanda Petrusich expounds on her article about the movement to rename the Williamsburg Bridge in honor of Sonny Rollins. We explore the Soul-Jazz experiments of the Rascals. Grace Kelly from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert talks about her pop-up/flash mob concerts. Plus Thundercat, Henry Mancini, Ghostface Killah, Jaimie Branch, Nels Cline, Badbadnotgood, Cecil Taylor, and more get pick up on the Major Scale radar. Produced in Central Florida, this program seeks to become one of the defining voices of this Native American art form, and everything else that finds itself under it's umbrella. Think about programming and content found on the likes of World Cafe, Philadelphia, PA. Tiny Desk from Washington D.C., and KEXP Live from Seattle, WA. and that's what the Major Scale strives to do. For the curious, and lovers of music who like the details in between.

For his 1998 album Since, Richard Buckner enlisted a strong supporting cast (John McEntire of Tortoise, The Sea And Cake / Dave Schramm of Yo La Tengo, The Schramms / David Grubbs of Squirrel Bait, Gastr Del Sol, Bastro) to shape an Americana/Alt Country record that feels out of place for the time, but perfectly in sync with the Jason Isbell's and John Moreland's of today's musical landscape. It helps that Buckner's poetic approach eschews the compact disc bloat and hones a tight sixteen track / thirty seven minute album that actually left us wanting more in spaces rather than wishing for restraint and editing.   Songs in this episode: Intro - Believer 12:04 - Raze 16:56 - Brief & Boundless 20:12 - Lucky Buzz 29:34 - Coursed Outro - Goner w/Souvenir   To support the podcast, join us at Patreon for bonus content and more.

The season of Fall is upon us. Lisa Tobias returns again to the show. That can only mean one thing: It's time for the Couch Surfing podcast, baby! It feels good to be back in the swing of things.00:02:28 - Lisa is enjoying the updated version of 90210. John is indifferent.00:05:35 - The Fringe pilot caused unintentional laughter from John, but Joshua Jackson is a bad-ass, so he's going to keep watching.00:15:16 - True Blood was a bit of a letdown for Lisa, but she's still on board. John is reminded of Sundown, starring Bruce Campbell.00:19:34 - John is finally watching Six Feet Under. So far, he's not impressed, finding much of Alan Ball's work cold and one-note.00:27:52 - Free DVD rentals from the Library are exposing John to mediocre entertainment such as the Amityville Horror remake and Babel, but he strongly recommends the special edition of David Cronenberg's The Fly.00:35:55 - Be sure to pick up the long overdue special releases of Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Weird Science this month!00:38:12 - At the end of this month, keep an eye out for the tenth anniversary release of Can't Hardly Wait. Hopefully, we'll get to see more of Amber Benson in the film!00:40:05 - While trying to catch up on Bones online, John has to deal with his first ever serious virus on his computer. A system recovery (F10) was performed. Everything is fine, now.00:42:25 - Due to the computer virus, John had to read stuff (!). When all is said and done, he finishes the novelization of Can't Hardly Wait, but was left kind of bored with the Brian Michael Bendis graphic novel, Powers: Who Killed Retro Girl? (Answer: The Butler did it. Just kidding.)00:45:36 - John is curious to check out the reboot of Geek By Night, and recommends listeners to do the same. He wonders how much of his input remains in the show, if any.00:49:38 - A shout out to Geek By Night and Buffy Between The Lines alum, Rachel Ruzzo.00:55:51 - We get our Neil Patrick Harris fix by watching Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay.01:02:11 - John & Lisa are hopeful they can take Tim Minear up on his offer to be on the show soon (call us, Tim!
