Strong businesses do not become healthy by accident. They are built through trust, clear leadership, accountability, and a willingness to face problems together. Will Watrous joins me to explore what makes leadership teams work and why so many companies struggle even when good people are involved. Will shares how his own entrepreneurial journey led him from marketing into helping leadership teams use the Entrepreneurial Operating System, or EOS, to create greater vision, traction, and team health. We discuss vulnerability-based trust, productive conflict, accountability, business complexity, data-driven decisions, and why leaders must take responsibility for both what works and what does not. Will also explains why simplicity matters as companies grow, how weekly meetings can keep teams focused, and why leaders need quiet thinking time to gain clarity. You will find practical leadership lessons here for building stronger teams, making better decisions, and creating a healthier business. Highlights: 05:22 How helping one business owner launched Will's entrepreneurial journey. 11:42 Why strong leadership creates accountability. 15:29 How trust becomes the foundation of healthy teams. 26:20 Why productive conflict leads to better decisions. 40:44 How leaders can reduce complexity as a business grows. 54:04 Why clarity breaks help leaders think and lead better. .

Transcription Notes: Michael Hingson 00:04 What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't what's in front of you, but rather what you believe? Welcome to Unstoppable Mindset, where inclusion, diversity, and the unexpected meet. I'm your host, Michael Hingson, speaker, author, and advocate for inclusion and possibilities. This podcast explores how the beliefs we carry shape the way we live, lead, and connect with others. Each week, I talk with people who challenge assumptions, face adversity head-on, and show what's possible when we choose curiosity over fear. Together, we focus on mindset, resilience, and the small shifts that lead to meaningful change. Let's get started. Well, greetings, everyone, wherever you may be today, I am your host Mike Hingson, and you are listening and/or watching Unstoppable Mindset. Our guest today is Will Watrous, and Will has a I think a lot of interesting things to talk with us about regarding organizations, team building, teamwork, and other such things, and I'm not going to give it away because it's his job to really talk about that, which is a lot more fun. Although I will say that he and I share a like of a particular book on teamwork, which we'll talk about, I'm sure, as we go forward. But anyway, Will, I want to welcome you to Unstoppable Mindset. We're really glad you're here. Will Watrous 01:40 Thank you, Mike. What a pleasure to be on your podcast today. Michael Hingson 01:43 Well, well, I've been looking forward to it for a while, so we're we're glad we're doing it, and we'll we'll take about an hour, and then you can go off to dinner unless you've already had dinner. Speaker 1 01:53 Sounds like a plan. Michael Hingson 01:56 Yeah, Will is in Oklahoma, so I think he's having warmer temperatures today than we are. Anyway, so let's let's go ahead and move forward. Why don't you tell us kind of maybe a little bit about the early will growing up and all that? Speaker 1 02:10 Sure. So I grew up in a little coastal town, Mystic, Connecticut, which is on the shore, northeastern Connecticut. Michael Hingson 02:19 Did you ever have pizza there? I had to ask. Speaker 1 02:21 I did. I did have Mystic Pizza before it was made famous by Julia Roberts' right movie, and that was that was my hometown. Yeah. So the Mystic Drawbridge there, and the old Mystic Village, or the Mystic Seaport. It's a very touristy, but also a great place to grow up. Yeah, on the water, and yeah, the youngest of six kids, five boys, one girl, but don't feel sorry for her because she is probably could still beat me up. She's a strong, strong woman, and yes, pretty, pretty average in in many ways, childhood graduated from high school and went off to college here in Oklahoma. Spent about six years out here going to school, and then went back to the East Coast. This time to Washington D.C. area. I was working in a large nonprofit organization just outside the Beltway, and then wound up going to Boston. Taught at a school in Brookline, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston. And then my wife decided she wanted to go to college out here in Oklahoma, so we moved back out here in around around 2010, and I started a business, and that started my entrepreneurial journey, which was very intensive. Let's say learned a lot, a lot of it the hard way, and really developed an affinity, appreciation for business, for entrepreneurship, for ultimately serving people, which is what most businesses should be designed to do. And through all of that, took some really powerful principles, insights, truths away, and now have the privilege of helping a lot of other business leadership teams run stronger, better, healthier companies. Michael Hingson 04:28 What got you to go to college in Oklahoma? Coming from Mystic, Speaker 1 04:33 well, being the youngest of six, two of my brothers had come to school out here, and so I was following in their footsteps. Michael Hingson 04:41 Where did you go to school? Speaker 1 04:43 So I went to Oral Oral Roberts University. Yep, and I went to a college called Raymo Bible Training College, which is a Christian two-year Christian school out here. Michael Hingson 04:56 And eventually, you came back. And why did your wife want to come? And go to college in Oklahoma, kind of same concepts. Speaker 1 05:03 Yeah, she wanted just so she wanted to go to the Rayma Bible Training College to get a foundation in her faith, and just you know early on in in life wanted to lay that framework, that groundwork, so that she she felt for the rest of her life, and she had met a lot of other graduates from that particular school, which is an amazing school, and they had all just shared how influential, how impactful the school was for them. And mind you, it's not just about head knowledge, you know, not just information. It's about ultimately knowing God better, and so which tends to serve you well in every every area of life. So she was hungry for that. So we decided to move out here. And I, the nature of my work at the time was such that I could work remotely, and so we moved here. And she went to school, graduated, and we stayed and raised a family. Michael Hingson 06:01 So, what what kind of business did you start when you started your business? You said in 2010. Speaker 1 06:09 Yes, in 2010, and so I had been serving in a marketing capacity, doing marketing management for the organization in the D.C. area, and learned a lot simply by doing. Don't have my my college education. My degree is in music performance, actually, so didn't serve me very well as far as marketing is concerned. So I learned a lot by doing, and when I moved out here, I knew someone who had an auto repair shop, and he, through a series of events, had to rename his rebrand his shop completely. the the the I went to his website, I think one day, and it said under construction, and I thought that's weird. I know he has he's been in business, he has a website, so I send him an email, and he emailed me back and said he just asked inquiring is everything going all right? He replied and said I need help right now because we're in the situation where I need to redo everything. So I at the time was not a technician when it came to marketing. I was more of just a manager strategist type. So for whatever reason, I decided that I could build him a website. I just wanted to help, so I didn't charge him anything, and literally went online, and this is many, many years ago. Before there was all of the resources available to us now, and I Googled how do you build a website, and I prayed, and I just went through this very excruciating process of coding and understanding how it all worked. Wound up building him a website, learned a lot along the way about search engine optimization, about digital advertising, and then other you know forms of online advertising. And his he's a great businessman. He does good work, and he has a good reputation. He knows lots of people. His business grew to the degree that he would have some other business owners come to him and say, "Man, what are you doing? Because you you guys are just crushing it. And he's a really gracious guy. He would tell these other business owners, "Well, I have this guy named Will, and sometimes I have to call Will and tell him to tone it down a little bit because I'm too busy. Well, these other business owners demanded my phone number from him because they wanted you know to grow their businesses. So I started getting phone calls from other business owners asking if I would do for them what I was doing for this man, and that started. So I never really woke up one day saying I'd love to start a marketing agency. I just was trying to help someone who needed Michael Hingson 09:00 it, Speaker 1 09:01 and it wound up turning into a business. So then I hired someone, and they started helping me. And then hired some more and grew it and grew it until about four years ago. I stepped away, and there's more to that story as well as as to how I was able to step away. I still own that company passively now. It's a it's a great multi-million-dollar, very profitable, growing company, very healthy company. But now my passion and focus is helping entrepreneurs create businesses that give them what they want from their business that are more aligned, more healthy, and stronger-not just for the business owner and the entrepreneur, but for the whole for the whole company, for everyone involved in that organization. Michael Hingson 09:48 So, you're more involved now in helping people start businesses, or are you still dealing with businesses that exist and you're helping to to kind of improve them? Speaker 1 10:00 Businesses that are already existing. So typically, my my the clients that I work with now are are two to 50 million in annual revenue, 10 to 250 employees. They're growth oriented. They're willing to be open and honest with one another and with themselves, and they're more afraid of the status quo than they are of change. They really are trying to get somewhere, but feel stuck, feel frustrated, feel like the things that have they've been trying to to do to make the business better just aren't gaining traction like they need. Michael Hingson 10:34 Well, how does that differ from what you were doing before? Speaker 1 10:37 Ah, well, so before the marketing agency was really focused on lead generation, increasing their revenue, their sales. Now, what I do is work with leadership teams. I use the EOS model, which is the entrepreneurial operating system, which is a very specific process and set of tools that I teach the leadership team of the organization, so typically that's the three to seven people at the top of the company making the important decisions, and I help them do three things. I call them vision, traction, and healthy. So vision means first getting the leaders 100% on the same page with where is this company going and how do we plan to get there. Traction from the standpoint of helping your leaders to become much more disciplined and accountable, and executing really well to achieve every part of your vision, and then healthy meaning helping the leaders to become a more healthy, functional, cohesive leadership team. Because the truth is that most leaders don't function well as a team, and what I found is, as goes the leaders, so go the rest of the organization. So what we do is we get to the point where everyone in the company is all crystal clear, fully aligned with the vision and plan. They're gaining consistent traction wherever you look in the company, people are executing on that vision together, and they're doing it as a group of people who are who enjoy the work that they do and and enjoy the people that they're around. Michael Hingson 12:13 Okay, what do you think is the problem that leaders and companies most often misdiagnosed in their organizations that create the problems that you have to come in and deal with. Speaker 1 12:30 I would say one of the most common is accountability. It's a it's it's a common hot button frustration of many business leaders, and the misdiagnosis, as you said, is that accountability is actually a byproduct. It is, it's a formula. Actually, the formula is this: L plus M equals A. So the L stands for leadership, plus M stands for management, equals A stands for accountability. So leader accountability is the output, and so rather than trying to make your people be accountable, which you can't really do. What you can do is be a great leader and be a great manager, and the result will be you'll create an environment where accountable people thrive. And so, within EOS, we teach five leadership abilities and five management abilities, or not really ability. They're more like practices, leadership practices, and and management practices. You just do those things well, and and the accountability that you so desire will show up in the organization. Michael Hingson 13:52 Yeah, I think a lot of people don't really understand what accountability is, and and that doesn't help the process, and yeah, you know exactly what I mean, and and that that tends to really make a lot of challenges for people because they they resent rather than recognizing that people who truly understand accountability are are trying to do something to help build the team, help the team work well, and and are looking out for the whole company, but just so many people don't understand that, do they? Speaker 1 14:27 No, and and part of the reason it's interesting. All these EOS tools work together, but another tool that we use a lot is the something we call the accountability chart. The accountability chart is a visual illustration of the structure of the organization, meaning who is responsible for what. So we've got the leadership team, but then every single person in the organization should have a box, a seat on the bus, and within. Box or in that seat, there's five major roles that they really need to own. What I like to say it this way: If the company could speak, why would it say this function exists? Why is this seat in the organization? And many companies have not clearly defined what success looks like for an employee. What are their five major accountabilities or roles within the organization? And so, how can you hold someone accountable to something that's not been clearly communicated from the get go? If they don't really understand what success looks like and what we need them to be doing and focusing and being great at, then it's it's really hard to to hold them accountable. Michael Hingson 15:46 Yeah, and they they just miss it. Well, going back to something I mentioned at the beginning, you and I are both great fans of the book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. Which which function or dysfunction do you? I can imagine what this might be, but which dysfunction do you most often encounter, and do we find most often with companies and people? Speaker 1 16:14 Yeah, I'll have to start at the bottom of the pyramid because it's right. It's it's it's a it's linear in a way, and and in that one builds upon the other. So the bottom tier of the pyramid is vulnerability based trust. So trust, and that, as Patrick describes it, is being completely open and honest with one another. If you sit down and have a conversation with a peer, you know that they're going to be completely frank. They'll tell you the truth and the whole truth. That, and not only that, you can trust them to have the right motives, the right purpose behind things. It's not political. They're not, you know, kind of positioning themselves and working the politics and dynamic dynamics of the organization. They're really trying to do what's right for everybody involved. So vulnerability-based trust is the first one, and that takes time. That's Patrick defines that as different from the kind of trust that is based on just knowing people in the sense that you can you know what to expect out of them if you're familiar with them. You work with them a lot, so you kind of you can trust that they're going to act a certain way. That's not what he's talking about. He's talking about this true, open, and honest approach, being candid with one another, and that comes through some specific exercises. Ultimately, times the more you know about people, about their personal lives, and the more time you spend with them is what ultimately builds trust. Michael Hingson 18:07 Yeah, and it's all about building a trusting relationship that allows for that level of honesty. Because when you truly have it, then you're you're dealing with an environment where when someone says something to you, you know they're not trying to be political. You know they're not trying to undermine you, but they're trying to give you information, and it goes back to accountability and holding maybe you accountable for the things that you said that you were going to do. But it's also about holding the whole company accountable by feeding back to and working with people to get jobs accomplished. Speaker 1 18:48 Yes, absolutely, that's right. And and for that to happen, everyone has to be on the same page. We all must be looking at the same picture of where we're planning to go and agreeing on how we plan to get there. Michael Hingson 18:59 Yeah, and in a sense, even though accountability is at the bottom of the pyramid, it starts hopefully at the top with senior management that sets the tone and starts to create the environment where everyone can learn to trust and work together in a much more positive way. Speaker 1 19:21 That's right. When we when I work with leadership teams, I half jokingly tell them in in our early sessions that they should look around at the company and admire the wonderful things that are happening, the clients and customers that are being served, the employees that are getting their job done. All all of those things are wonderful, and you helped create that wonderful. On the flip side, all of the frustrations, the pain, the things that are broken and not working, you created that too. So you have to take responsibility for all of it, the good and the bad. And so the leadership really does have to. Take responsibility for everything. Michael Hingson 20:03 Why is it that trust is so hard, and trusting relationships are so hard to build, even when when people probably have really wonderful intentions and want to do it? But why is it so hard? Speaker 1 20:16 Ooh, that's a great question. Michael Hingson 20:18 And and I'll and I'll tell you one of the reasons I ask, being a little prejudiced, working with guide dogs. I work with dogs, and I have learned over the years that while dogs may love unconditionally, they don't trust unconditionally. But dogs are more open to trust, and if you really work at building a trusting relationship with a dog, you set the rules. You set which is what they want, you set the ground rules, you set the tone, and if you do it, the relationship that develops is incredible. But that just seems to be something that's really hard for humans to do internally or between human and human. Speaker 1 20:55 You know, I think the answer is in something that you just said, and the word is intentional. Intentionality, I think that most people show up to work focusing on the work, focusing on doing things faster and more efficiently, and the how and the strategy. But they don't focus very much on the health of the team. And Pat Lynchioni talks about that as well. How that most organizations are focused on getting smarter, but not on getting healthier, and he argues that the healthier team will outperform the smarter team every single time. Michael Hingson 21:36 The other part about it is the whole concept of just being open to trust-we we in our in our human world just see so many examples of why not to trust. And I think too many people have just learned, well, we can't trust. We don't dare take the chance. We can't because everybody has their own agendas, and so how can we trust them? Because they're looking out for them. They're not looking out for me, and we teach children this. We teach each other this, and that's so unfortunate because it doesn't need to be that way. Speaker 1 22:11 Yeah, what are they? The wisest serpents, gentle as gentle as doves, is the is the saying. I, I'm not. You're right. There's a lot of people out there, unfortunately, that have ruined it. Let's say the few have ruined it for the many. I think, and the reality is that today you have to be. And now with AI, we don't need to go there. But with AI, you really have to really have to know what's going on because what seems real isn't. Michael Hingson 22:44 Yeah. Do you think that will improve over time? Speaker 1 22:49 What's that? Michael Hingson 22:50 That AI will get better over time, and a lot of things that aren't real today will become more real just because the whole process will improve. Speaker 1 23:04 Will AI improve? Yes, absolutely. Will its results and its helpfulness improve? Absolutely. Will people continue to use that for their own good? You know, for their for their own devices at the expense of other people. Yes, unfortunately. Michael Hingson 23:21 Unfortunately. Speaker 1 23:22 So, what does that make leave? Where does that leave us? I think we have to be all the more wiser to it. You can't. You can't stay ignorant and think that everything's going to be okay. Michael Hingson 23:35 Where do you think AI fits in corporations mostly, or should fit? Speaker 1 23:41 Well, it's it's an incredible tool. It is an incredible tool, and I think it's it's like it's like money. What do you what do you do with it? It's simply a tool. What are you going to do with it? Where does it fit? It depends on what kind of business model, but I see it impacting every business to some degree, we utilize it heavily. I think when I work with leadership teams, I do a lot of facilitation. So we'll we'll sit around this table here. I'm in my session room here, and we have lengthy, deep, meaningful, impactful discussions with one another, and sometimes I even encourage them to use AI to refine an idea or to collaborate over an idea. But I warn my teams that AI has no soul, and what I mean by that is, it's it's information, it's data and information, but the human being there's more to us than just information. It's like the data, the information part of us is like the tip of the iceberg, and but there's a whole mass below the waterline. I believe you have a soul and a spirit, and so the danger I warn teams of is making strategic decisions based on information that comes from AI without really discussing and using their their soul. Sometimes ideas can resonate with a person on a different level. That that AI and just information can't it can't go there. It's not able to go there. So I don't know if that makes sense. But I just warn them: AI has no soul. You need to pay attention to what's going on inside of you as you're discussing ideas and and weigh that into the decision. Michael Hingson 25:46 And I still go back to we're the ones that are and should be the creators, and so it's great to use AI to help a process, but we still need to be the ones to do the real work. Speaker 1 25:59 Yes, Michael Hingson 26:01 and I think too many times I hear about it with with schools and so on. Oh, students are just writing their papers using AI. Well, we need to work on encouraging that not to be the case. The AI can help provide information, as you pointed out, but that's what it is. It's an information source, and it's only one information source, and anyone who is truly looking for information knows full well you don't just rely on one source. Speaker 1 26:29 Right. Michael Hingson 26:30 Even if it's a human, you don't rely on one source. Speaker 1 26:33 That's right. That's right. But it but it is Michael Hingson 26:35 pretty crucial to to work through that. Well, Patrick Lencioni talks a lot about conflict, and he talks about teams that have healthy conflict, and then there are those who quietly just kind of avoid it. What distinguishes, or how do you deal with the two different kinds of teams? Because I know Patrick talks about the fact that conflict is a very useful thing and needs to be respected as part of the process, Speaker 1 27:04 right? So the second layer of the pyramid that he illustrates is healthy conflict or productive conflict, which can only happen if there is a foundation of trust, because without trust, people tend to hold their cards close to the vest. They're not willing to go out on a limb and say something that might be taken the wrong way, because for fear of retribution, or that it could be it could be used against them, or or what have you. And so conflict is may the best idea win. I have wonderful teams. They're healthy teams. They'll fight like cats and dogs over an idea, not over. It's not personal. They're simply fighting for the best idea to win, and so they'll go at it heated conversations because they have strong opinions. At the end of the day, though, what really matters is that everyone has been heard? The point of conflict is to get the options out on the table to see what's possible, to see what's available, and then from those options, pick the best. So, what healthy conflict does is it opens it up for people to share, be willing to get out there, share their opinion, go back and forth, and as I said, everyone gets heard. That's such a critical piece of healthy team is that you're hearing from everyone on the team. They're having that opportunity to share their perspective, and then when all is said and done, the what we call this person the integrator. This is the person who leads the leadership team. They have a decision to make. It's not a democracy. They have heard all of the all of the opinions, and and then they say, "Well, this is what we're going to do. And 99% of the time, reasonable people, even if they disagree with a decision, if they have been heard and know that their opinion is valued, they are willing to commit to a decision that's against what they believe should have happened. Michael Hingson 29:14 Well, so take that to the next level. Let's say that the decision is made, and in a month, it turns out it really wasn't the right decision. Then what? Speaker 1 29:25 Yeah, healthy teams can pivot, and they don't. Excuse me. There's no paralysis by analysis. They're they're able to be flexible and make a quick decision without regrets and move on. You know, in business, most of the decisions that we make are reversible. It's not like we're a brain surgeon and there's someone's on the operating table, and and one slip means drastic results, or it's not a court case, and the judge once they slam the hammer, nothing changes. That's the verdict. In business, most decisions are reversible. Sometimes I see teams or leaders who are hesitant to make a decision, and I encourage them make a decision, commit to it, and start taking steps. We can always iterate. We can make adjustments along the way, but if you don't act, if you don't take one step forward, then you can't steer a parked car, as they say. So, when when your question was if a month later it was a wrong decision, we agree as a team to pivot and move on. And a great healthy team, you know, they'll probably give one another a hard time and laugh about it and poke a bit, but but keep moving toward the goal. Michael Hingson 30:46 But it's all in fun and it's not intended in any way to be personal, Speaker 1 30:50 right? Michael Hingson 30:51 Which is really the key. None of this has to be personal. We're not doing it to one up anyone, and the good teams truly understand that. Speaker 1 31:02 That's right. Michael Hingson 31:04 Do you ever find environments where leaders unintentionally do things where accountability breaks down? Speaker 1 31:15 Yes. One thing that happens specifically with visionary or leaders or founders is something I call end run, which is when they don't follow chain of command. Basically, because of their position in the company, they feel freedom to go to anyone in the company and either make a decision or give them a directive, and the person that they're giving the directive to feels obligated to follow that because it's a senior leader. Michael Hingson 31:54 Yeah, Speaker 1 31:55 and so that really that really damages you know it's chain of command ultimately, but it damages the relationship, damages the health of the team, and the hard thing about it is that visionary leaders and founders are idea people. They are the creators. They're brilliant at coming up with seeing opportunities and coming up with ideas to solve problems and add value, so they have this natural bent to research. They're curious. They'll want to talk to people, employees in the organization, and that's all good. But they do need a healthy boundary and to understand who they should talk to about decisions or influencing employees in the organization. Michael Hingson 32:43 Yeah, I'm curious about something. How do the operations within a business differ from, say, what goes on in the military, where there's an absolute chain of command, and someone along the line, can issue an order to someone, and it's supposed to be obeyed, and so on. But how does military operations differ, or do they from business, or should they from business? Speaker 1 33:10 I yeah, that's a great. I I think there's some strong similarities, and some significant differences. You know, one question, and this was actually oddly enough. This was a military leader. I forgot who it was, but it was a general. He said something he asks his subordinates on a regular basis is, "Tell me something you know I don't want to hear. Tell me something you know I don't want to hear. And his goal there was to truly to create a relationship with his subordinates where they feel comfortable raising their hand, saying we've got an issue, here's a problem, and I think that traditionally in the military that would be resisted. I think the or my my perception anyway is that subordinates would rarely want to say something's wrong. Everything's always okay, you know. Following orders, everything's good. But I respect that that general's practice of of telling his subordinates that, and I I recommend my leaders do it as well because they need to know what's going on. Really, there's this I think a natural desire to impress or to make it look like I'm doing a good job and our department is okay, so they don't bring up real issues. And so the kind might go against your question, but the the common thread there is a willingness to talk about real issues, real problems, to bring them up, solve them together as a team. But first, be willing to identify. And oddly enough, it goes back to the trust piece: to being open and honest. You have to be willing to just call something out. The elephant in the room: several people know that there's something going on. Nobody wants. To say it, just say it. So that that's maybe one similarity. Michael Hingson 35:06 Well, I know that in reality, in the in the military, I at least I've heard this from my military friends. They they do emphasize teamwork and and teaming and so on. But at the same time, they have this reputation where there's an order and you you just obey the order because that's what the general or what someone above you says and it seems like there's a paradox there somewhere. Speaker 1 35:33 Yeah, I think in in business, what my observation has been that people do need to know the why. I think in the military that's not required, and maybe same in parenting. Sometimes it's you're on a need to know basis, and you just need to follow the order. Whereas in business, I think it's much more common practice for good leaders to give the context of why this directive matters, so that the people can connect the dots and have a clearer picture of the overall success of the mission, as it were, the goal of the organization. They can see how what they're doing is contributing to that over goal. Overall goal. Michael Hingson 36:20 Yeah, yeah. Well, and in the military, maybe the privates don't necessarily get the get to know the why, Speaker 1 36:31 right? Michael Hingson 36:31 But but the hope is that there are enough people above them who are involved in a process that there is enough of an understanding that that enough people know the why that that the process works, and I guess that's a. I've not ever been in the military, and I'm certainly not going to criticize, but it just seems to me that that the more people can communicate and interact with each other, the stronger the team will be, no matter whether it's business or military. Speaker 1 37:00 Yeah, I would hope. Michael Hingson 37:03 So you know, but so EOS generally represent talks about clarity and execution. Where do leaders typically in organizations lose traction after they set a clear vision? Where do where do things break down. Speaker 1 37:22 You know, I think one of the most powerful ideas within EOS is the weekly meeting. So there is something we call the Level 10 meeting, and the name Level 10 comes from when we started working with companies and 1000s and 1000s of companies. One of the questions we would, one of our first questions in meeting them would be: rate the quality of your meetings on a scale of one to 1010, being best. How effective are your internal team meetings? And on average, they were about a four. And so over time, we developed the level 10 meeting agenda, which is a very specific agenda for leadership teams on a weekly basis to conduct that covers makes those those meetings so effective and efficient. And we keep talking about Patrick Lencioni. He wrote another book called Death by Meetings, which is a great great book as well. But so within EOS, the level 10 meeting is a very clear agenda. It gets everyone on the same page. Data passes quickly and smoothly across the right channels to the right people. We solve problems together, and it's just a wonderful, wonderful way to keep the business moving forward. So your question was, what happens after they set a clear vision? Well, very often they lose traction because they're not on a weekly basis measuring their progress toward that goal and vision, and solving problems on a weekly basis that show up that get in the way because there will always be things that prevent us, that resist us from our goals. So, are we methodically? And this is a discipline. This is it's it's not you know glamorous. It doesn't always feel good. But if you can stick with that weekly cadence, then every single week you're you're measuring what matters, the KPIs? It's a score. You know, one of the items on the agenda is the weekly scorecard, five to 15 numbers give us an instant pulse on the business. Reviewing the data, solving problems, and marching forward. So that's where it gets lost, because also in that meeting, everyone is staying on the same page, and there's that accountability. You're looking across the table, say, asking about this initiative or this project. Is it on track? Yes or no? Are we confident we're going to get it completed on time? Do you need any help? Every single week, the leaders. Showing up to that meeting and asking those questions of one another, and they know, hey, on Tuesday at 2o'clock, I'm going to have to answer this question: Is this goal on track for the quarter? And so that introduces this accountability within the team, where the peer-it's peer-to-peer accountability. They're holding one another accountable for the goals of the organization, Michael Hingson 40:22 yeah, I talked with a person recently on one of our podcast episodes. She runs a a boutique PR organization, and it has been growing, but she's not letting it grow too fast. But it has continued to grow, and and I've asked her, and I asked her how how long do you expect or how much do you want the company to grow, and can it grow too large where it becomes unmanageable? And she acknowledged that that kind of thing can happen, and and it it kind of is an interesting concept because most entrepreneurs want their companies to be successful and grow, but when you get multi-million-dollar or larger companies and you're hiring 50, 100, 200, 500 employees, that kind of ranges raises a lot of different complications, and it gets really overly complex. At what point does all the complexity really become too dangerous to deal with? Speaker 1 41:27 So the complexity model is where you you can calculate how complex business gets by every person you add to the organization. My point is complexity is real, and as a leadership team or as a leader, you have to constantly fight the onslaught of complexity. You have to fight for keep it simple, less is more. Keep it simple, less is more. So, if you had two people in an organization, you've got two lines of communication, one going from one to the other and back. If you add a third person, so you increase the number of people by 50% Now there are six lines of communication, so 200% increase in complexity, and that's just communication. Not talking about systems, processes, culture, all of that other stuff. You add a fourth person, so you increase the number of people by 100% from the two. Now you have a A 500% increase, 12 lines of communication. Speaker 2 42:45 Yeah, Speaker 1 42:46 so you have to, as a leader, fight against complexity, and the way that you do that is by less is more, keep it simple. Within EOS, we set three to seven rocks. We call them every quarter. Those are just business priorities, not 27, three to seven. Because if everything is important, nothing is important. So you're always asking yourself as a leader, what's the simplest way to say this, communicate this? What's the simplest way to do this? Do we have the simplest possible structure for the organization. Occam's razor says that the simplest solution is invariably the best solution, or the best solution is invariably the simplest solution. So the the complexity thing is real. You have to stay aware of it, and and fight against it by keeping things simple as you go. Michael Hingson 43:42 Yeah, and and the reality is, it goes back to what you were talking about. Certainly, the weekly meetings and other methods that you use to make sure that everyone not only is encouraged to communicate, but they do communicate. And again, it all gets back to that bottom level of the pyramid, which is accountability, and as long as everyone understands and feels the concept of accountability, and that we're all working toward the same thing, you have a much better shot at making it successful and making it work. Speaker 1 44:15 Right, that's right. Within EOS, we have a two-page strategic plan, not 50 pages. It's not this giant document. It's two pages that allow everyone within the organization to see who we are, where we're going, how we plan to get there. It's simple. Michael Hingson 44:36 Yeah. So, for a while, you didn't own your own business, and then you you now own your own business. How is becoming your own entrepreneur and your own your own business owner, boss, or whatever you want to call it? How has that changed? Kind of the advice you give to other people, and and what do you think about being? A business owner, as opposed to working within another organization, Speaker 1 45:05 you know, I I think I I'm spoiled. No, I don't think I could ever be a good employee again. Yeah, I just have a deep appreciation for visionaries, for people who see what's possible and then rally a team around them to help make it become a reality. That's a special. That's a special quality, and the world needs lots of that quality. So I, I, I have gained just a greater appreciation for the entrepreneurial spirit, and I, I think that it's it's now it's not for everybody, and that's okay. But I, I just can connect now more deeply than I ever could with people who are taking that step of faith, being courageous, doing something that's risky and uncomfortable, and just figuring it out as they go. I think that's for me particularly that resonates. I can't now, and I get it. I I understand. There's the majority of people are comfortable with a oops are are comfortable with a salary, a steady amount of income, and the safety that that brings. But I just it doesn't compute for me. I can't do it. It's just not for me what life is about. Michael Hingson 46:26 Yeah, I know. Especially since 2008, I've not only owned my own company, but it's been mainly me and dealing with lining up speaking engagements and so on, and especially since we moved down here in in 26 2014, I'm I'm very used to being my own individual, and and I I hear exactly what you're saying. I can work in an environment where there are other people, and there's there's times that that's that's a good thing, but I know that especially during COVID, people complained a lot about being locked down and they really missed being with other people, and I always had a little bit of a problem with that because I don't I don't look at other people, so that's one thing, but I learned that I could still communicate with people, and so I I didn't fall into some of those traps. I just do find it interesting, but I understand what you're saying. You're used to to to being the person not only in charge, but you're interested in setting the vision, and there's a lot of merit to that. Speaker 1 47:40 Yeah, yeah, and and he it takes all of us. If he had all visionaries and no doers, no you know no executors, then we'd be in a mess. I'm terribly sorry. The it's later here in the evening, and the cleaners are are at the door. Let me just tell them to wait 10. Give me 10 minutes on the office here. I'll be back in just a moment. Okay. Michael Hingson 48:05 So, yeah, I I appreciate the the position, and I can live with it as as well, and I can I can cope. I can work either way, but I I do like kind of really being the person in charge of me, I think it it probably works better. Yeah, that's okay. Speaker 1 48:28 Yep, we're all wired differently. Michael Hingson 48:30 Yeah, we are. So, in in making decisions, data is is a very important thing, and and it's certainly something that we need to keep around. Why do so many people resist and business leaders resist using data in a kind of an honest way? What are they afraid of? Speaker 1 48:51 Well, I think that data is can make things black and white. I think that data can be very telling because we can share opinions and feelings and ideas, but you can't. The numbers are the numbers; they they are what they are, which is why we use this weekly scorecard in that level 10 meeting I was talking about. But Ronald Reagan said, "Trust but verify. So the idea here is that people don't respect what you expect; they respect what you inspect, and the data is an inspection of what actually happened, what's real, what's what's going on on the ground, and that that's uncomfortable. The numbers don't lie most of the time. Now they can be manipulated, and people can tell stories. But if you're set up in the scorecard the right way with the right. Measuring the right things, it gives you a good idea of what's really going on. So I think it's just a natural resistance, a fear of being falling short, a fear of punishment. Ultimately, you know, in some form or fashion, hardship, difficulty, uncomfortability, things like that. Michael Hingson 50:22 But I think the the other thing I show about data, though, is it is kind of hard factual information, as you say. But it doesn't necessarily always bring the human element into to to things that maybe ought to be considered as well. So that the data should only be part of the final decision-making process. Speaker 1 50:45 It's very true. Very true. If you're looking at the numbers, there's always a story behind the numbers. What's the story behind the numbers? And that has to be part of the equation. Michael Hingson 50:55 As a as a speaker, I get a lot of people who say, "Well, we'll consider you fill out this form, and will evaluate you along with everyone else. And the problem is, I've realized that a lot of these forms, you fill them out, and you get a bunch of words on a screen, but doesn't really tell the whole story. And that's unfortunate because I think that too many evaluators are missing out on really understanding speakers when that happens. Speaker 1 51:25 Yeah, I believe that's true. Yes, absolutely. Hearing someone in person can't compare to just words on a page. Michael Hingson 51:36 Well, so yeah, it's just one of those things that one has to deal with when a team experiences a setback. What is it that causes some people to recover quickly while others don't necessarily recover quickly? Speaker 1 51:54 Why don't some people recover more quickly? Michael Hingson 51:59 Or teams, yeah. Speaker 1 52:00 Or teams. I think I don't know that I can separate teams from people. Michael Hingson 52:08 Yeah. Okay. Speaker 1 52:09 You know, and I say that because it has to do with self awareness. It has to do with personal development. I think many of these qualities are inseparable from the performance of the team, because a team is ultimately a group of individuals, and so in that way you've got the team dynamic. But you're you're also going to rely heavily on the character and the qualities of the individuals on the team. And if some people just can't let go, if they can't just raise their eyes or turn their gaze from the past and look forward, then, then they're going to struggle. Now, there are tools. You know, who is it? An autopsy without blame. He called it in good to great. In good to great, he said. This is where. What was his name now? Jim. I forget his name. Who wrote Good to Great, Jim Collins? Michael Hingson 53:04 Collins. He said Speaker 1 53:05 he called it on autopsy without blame, which is a team or person's ability to look back at the past and just understand. Okay, what happened? This isn't this isn't to point fingers. We just need to know what actually went down, so that we can learn from it. Because I tell teams this all the time, the past is only good for one thing-learning from it. And once you learn from it, you got to let go and move on. So the and and it's funny, I say this again every every meeting that I have with them. Actually, we review our data and we look back, we understand what. And then I said at the end of that review, I say, "Okay, that's the past. Nothing else we can do about it. Anything else need to be said before we leave it completely in the past and move forward? And I give them that opportunity to process and to you know make observations, insights, confessions. But after that moment, we got to let it go, and I think that a team has to be committed to be willing to do that for them to be able to to move forward. Michael Hingson 54:09 Yeah. Well, a lot of what you do is I suspect helping leaders, especially shift their mindset in some way. What mindset shift really helps leaders move from reacting to problems to leading intentionally and developing the kinds of of operations that we're talking about here as being successful? Speaker 1 54:35 I think you know you said mindset shift, but this is what I would call a mindset best practice. It's something I call a clarity break. A clarity break is a time scheduled on your calendar. So this is hard landscape. This is a an appointment you make with yourself that you keep, and in a clarity break, you get away from all the noise. You turn all the notifications off. You. On do not disturb mode, and you get a legal pad and a pen, and you simply think it. You think about the biz, think about the business, think about the biggest challenge you're facing, and you just start writing. And it's amazing what kind of solutions, ideas, next actions come to us when we have that clarity of mind. When we have time to get gain perspective, to take a step out of the fray, all of the noise, and just simply think. There's fewer things more valuable than high quality, pure thought, just simple thinking time. So that that is a mindset best practice, I would say, and and I encourage leaders to do it at a minimum of once a week, 3060, 90 minutes. Get a legal pad. Now, there's another book out there called The The Road Less Stupid by Keith Cunningham. That's lessons from the the chairman of the board, and he that book is a book full of questions that leaders should be asking themselves about the business. You could use those as prompts, or just again get quiet and think about the business right now. And I promise you, you'll start writing, and the thoughts will just flow, and you'll write the whole time and come up with such clarity and such perspective that allows you to re reengage, reenter the business with confidence as to what needs to happen, what are our next steps, and that's so important because that confidence is a precious commodity for leaders. You have to protect your confidence, and the confidence comes from clarity, and the clarity comes from taking time away from the business to simply sit and think. Michael Hingson 56:46 One of the things that I think all too often we individually and collectively don't do is to just stop and think about life, think about things, do more internal introspection, and that's kind of what you're talking about. And the reality is, if we would do more of that, and if we would listen to our own mind, we would discover so many things that would help us along the way. My favorite example is Trivial Pursuit, where I ask people regularly when you're playing Trivial Pursuit, and somebody asks, and somebody reads a question from a card. Immediately, you think of an answer, but you went, "Oh, that came too quickly. That can't be it. And so you think again and come up with another answer. But that first answer invariably was the right answer. But that's not what we listen to. We're teaching ourselves not to be so introspective and to sit back or to sit down and think about whatever it is that we need to think about, and as you point out, writing things down. Speaker 1 57:50 Yes, so valuable and and hard to do, frankly, in our age of distraction. Our phone is so distracting, and so so many other options, so many other things that hit the dopamine, get the dopamine flowing, that challenge our our ability to, or our sitting down and making time to do simple thinking time. Michael Hingson 58:16 Yeah. Well, if a leadership team today wanted to have one practical step about how they would work together this quarter. What would you advise? How would you advise them to start? In addition to reaching out Speaker 1 58:34 to you, which I'm Michael Hingson 58:35 all in favor of, but that's another story. Speaker 1 58:38 You know, there is a tool out there that I would point them to. It's called the organizational checkup. It's free. It's online. It's put out by EOS. There's no obligation, no strings attached, or anything like that. But I think that tool. It's a set of 20 questions, and you rate each question on a scale of one to five, five being best. And that tool would really shine the light on where the most pain is being felt across the organization. When the leaders, first of all, just give an honest assessment of those 20 questions, they'll be able to put their finger right on the priority of what they need should should fix first. And I think that would just that exercise alone would get them all on the same page of what problem to tackle first, and I think that would be the very valuable for them. Michael Hingson 59:30 And what is that called again? Speaker 1 59:31 It's called the organizational checkup. If you were to Google EOS organizational checkup, there'll be a link there, and it's just 20 questions. Michael Hingson 59:40 Great. Well, if people want to reach out to you and learn from you, or interact with you, and maybe use your services and so on, how best can they do that? Speaker 1 59:52 Yeah, connect with me on LinkedIn is great. Also, if you just did a search for EOS Will Watrous, my name, it'll come up. I've got lots of content out there. The EOS website has my listing and contact information on there as well. Michael Hingson 1:00:06 And what are what's your LinkedIn name or handle? Will Speaker 1 1:00:10 Watchers. Yep, Wils. Michael Hingson 1:00:16 Okay. Well, I hope people will reach out. This clearly has been instructive in so many ways and lots of great ideas.

Bestselling novelist Marti Leimbach on the art of writing a novel, surviving early success and the long career that follows, and turning lived experience into fiction — a remastered version of episode #016.You'll learnWhy your relationship to the page has to outrank every other voice in writing and publishing.How to tell apart the voice that says you're no good and the voice that says you're not finished.The case for admitting you're not up to the task before you sit down to write.What a genuinely good writing day looks like, and why a single sentence can count as one.Why no novel is ever perfect, and what Picasso understood about original work.How enormous early success actually lands on a writer, and what the morning after looks like.A way of finding the real story inside a draft that has grown far too big.When self-doubt is a sign of talent rather than a lack of it.Why some books have to be written as fiction rather than memoir.The trick of convincing yourself you have unlimited time when you clearly don't.Resources & LinksMarti's Books on AmazonMarti's websiteMarti's InstagramGreat On The Page — Marti's SubstackOriginal episode: #016: Marti Leimbach — The Art of Writing a NovelAbout Marti LeimbachMarti Leimbach is known for her bestsellers, Dying Young, made into a film starring Julia Roberts, and Daniel Isn't Talking.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we discuss New Jersey legend James Gandolfini! Our B-Sides include: The Mexican, Romance & Cigarettes, Cinema Verite, and The Drop. Our guest literally wrote the book on Gandolfini! Jason Bailey, author of Gandolfini Jim, Tony, and the Life of a Legend. He also co-hosts the podcast “Guide for the Film Fanatic” on the One Heat Minute Productions network. I was honored to chat about The Adventures of Robin Hood on the pod not too long ago! We discuss Gandolfini's early years as a character actor, his fun times on the set of the holiday debacle Surviving Christmas, and the chemistry of friendship that Gandolfini and Julia Roberts build in the underrated The Mexican. Jason dishes on the process of writing his great book, we all lament the next act of great Gandolfini performances we did not get, and I remember some iconic episodes from The Sopranos. We discuss his playful energy and singular legacy, and what could have been. There's also a chat about Jason's upcoming book YIPPEE KI-YAY "Die Hard,” Bruce Willis, and the Reinvention of the Action Movie.
An unemployed, twice-divorced mum with no legal training talks her way into a filing job at a law firm, and stumbles across a stack of documents that do not add up. What she uncovers is a cover-up big enough to take down a billion-dollar energy company, and she is the only one stubborn enough to chase it all the way. It won Julia Roberts an Oscar and is one of the most quietly powerful true stories Hollywood has ever told, and if you have never sat down and watched it, The Best Movies You've Never Seen, thanks to Fetch and Hisense, is your excuse to finally fix that.
This episode, the Dames talk Dolly Parton, the 1980s, and...Turkish Oil Wrestling! In Steel Magnolias, based on Robert Harling's play of the same name, Dolly plays Truvy, the owner of a home-based beauty salon in a little Louisiana town that becomes the center of the friendships, love stories, and heartaches of a close-knit group of friends. Featuring a fantastic cast that includes Sally Field, Darryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, Julia Roberts, and Shirley Maclaine, this is one of the major films of the 1980s, and a beautiful way to end our mini celebration of Dolly's cinematic career. Next up, we pay tribute to Tim Curry, starting with Muppet Treasure Island!

We continue our "Mic on Fire" series covering the films of Denzel Washington with Alan J. Pakula's 1993 John Grisham adaptation, The Pelican Brief, co-starring Julia Roberts, Sam Shepard, Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow. Special guest Harry returns, armed with a full watch-through of every single John Grisham movie adaptation. We talk Pakula's "paranoia trilogy" pedigree, why the plot takes 112 minutes to explain what the titular "pelican brief" actually is, Denzel and Julia's undeniable (and famously unconsummated) chemistry, Stanley Tucci's silent assassin, and how this stacks up against the rest of the Grisham Cinematic Universe.
Ocean's Eleven is the coolest movie ever made… We break down why this movie only works because Soderbergh filled every single role with actors you already love, solving the impossible problem of making you care about 11 characters in two hours. We tell the story of how George Clooney convinced Julia Roberts to be in this movie. We get into how nobody on this entire cast would go back to their trailer between scenes because they were all having too much fun just hanging out on set. And we discuss the behind the scenes drama of Don Cheadle getting so upset about his billing that he had his name removed from the credits entirely.Chapters:00:00 Intro1:29 Just the coolest movie ever4:35 How they afforded all that star power13:37 Defending Oceans 1217:05 Actually filming in the Bellagio20:01 What makes these scenes so good24:01 The other great characters28:58 Don Cheadle drama behind the scenes36:45 9/11 caused a reshoot39:54 RIP Bernie Mac42:35 The plot holes48:27 Lennox Lewis lost because of this movie52:11 What new stars could replace this cast?1:04:25 Why Brad Pitt eats so much in this movie1:06:18 Under appreciated lines1:09:22 Benedict is WAY overhyped1:13:44 Our ranking & final thoughts

In this episode from Easter 2022, we were marvelling at a certain PMs "hair", I pick a fight with Julia Roberts and Hazza was in his element.
The reaction has been mixed, following Phoebe Bridgers red carpet appearances at the Venice Film Festival. Bridgers has been both praised and shamed by fans for not only revealing her massive pit stain on the red carpet just days after showing her leg hair on the red carpet. It’s been a debate for decades now, going all the way back to 1999 and Julia Roberts’ arm pit hair reveal during her red carpet appearance at the London premiere of ’Notting Hill.” Two years ago, Dove had a #FreeThePits campaign, encouraging women to be confident regardless of their underarm choices… but just how far have we come?

Sara Weinshenk is back with another solo episode of SHENK, and this week she's trying to figure out why everyone is suddenly obsessed with pheromone maxing, Jellycats, weird sandwiches, nail polish names, and questionable internet gurus. Sara talks about losing her jewelry at the beach, men doing "female activities," discovering a suspiciously well-stocked guy's bathroom, and getting completely sucked into Hayden Panettiere's audiobook. Then things get weird with the TikTok dating trend of pheromone maxing and the idea that skipping showers somehow makes you more attractive. She also investigates Julia Roberts' bizarre favorite sandwich: peanut butter and jelly with sour cream and onion potato chips, imagines a Julia Roberts sandwich pop-up, names nail polish colors, reacts to Heidi Montag's "Matcha With You," and watches a very questionable spiritual healer named Gary Spivey. Plus: Jellycat couples, film festival people, dating, birth control, celebrity culture, Los Angeles, and Sara's ongoing realization that she may be seeing too much of herself in the people she judges.
The government has announced plans to require smartphones and tablets to block people from taking, sharing or viewing nude images by default, with adults able to switch the protection off after verifying their age. BBC Senior Technology Reporter Chris Vallance explains how it could work, while Soma Sara, founder of sexual violence campaign group, Everyone's Invited, tells us if it could protect young people from pressure, coercion and abuse.England Rugby's Red Roses will be taking part in a major international tournament throughout September and October. But one of the biggest conversations ahead of the WXV Global series is around changes to the size of the equipment. World Rugby will be trialling a smaller ball throughout the tournament. This ball is 3% smaller than the standard size used at elite level for men and women. The changes have had mixed reviews with some saying they are better designed for women to use, while others are concerned about the harm this could do to the image of the Women's game. Rocky Clark, former Rugby Union player and world cup winning red rose and CEO of Women in Sport, Stephanie Hilborne discuss the impact both on and off the pitch.The second in our series Daddy Issues where we look at the impact on women of having an absent father in their lives. On Monday we heard from Julie who didn't know her father's identity throughout her life. But what if your father has been present throughout your life - but then became absent due to an illness like dementia. How to navigate that? Hayley was the apple of her father's eye: “We were joined at the hip.” Her father Tony was formally diagnosed three years ago and lives with Hayley, her partner and their blended family. She has been documenting their journey on Instagram as a way of finding support for herself and helping other carers. Reporter Jo Morris went to meet them at the family home in Somerset. Singer songwriter Phoebe Bridgers made her Venice Film Festival debut this week. The topic of conversation around her red carpet appearance was not her role as an actor or her Gucci skirt but her visible leg hair. Body hair on the red carpet is often a hot topic - many will remember the furore over Julia Roberts's armpit hair at the premier of Notting Hill in 1999. But why are we still so bothered when a woman chooses not to wax or shave? Journalist Eilidh Doran has written about not always shaving herself and joins Nuala to discuss.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson

Tonight on Triple Feature we are doing a director focus on Gary Marshall by reviewing 3 of his seminal works, The Flamingo Kid, Beaches and Pretty Woman. Marshall came to film after creating and producing television institutions including Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy, bringing his populist approach to character and comedy to Hollywood. The Flamingo Kid, starring Matt Dillon, spent more than a decade in development before becoming the first film ever assigned the newly created PG-13 rating, although Red Dawn reached theaters first. Beaches paired Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey for a decades-spanning female friendship drama whose legacy became inseparable from Midler's Grammy-winning "Wind Beneath My Wings." Two years later, Marshall directed Pretty Woman, transforming a considerably darker screenplay into a modern Cinderella story that made Julia Roberts a superstar and became one of the defining romantic comedies of its era. Tonight we examine the development, production and cultural legacy of all three films and the career of the filmmaker who connected them.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Moon kicks things off with random facts, including the slightly unsettling reminder that everything you see technically happened in the past because your brain needs time to process visual information. Humanity's deepest hole is only about 7.6 miles deep compared to an Earth radius of thousands of miles, and apparently hundreds of thousands of people around the world may hit the space bar during the exact same second you do.More importantly, the scientific word for your stomach rumbling enters the conversation, and the crew immediately does what scientists surely hoped humanity would do with that information: turns it into a bit.Then Rafe takes everybody deeper into the cosmic rabbit hole. Looking at distant stars means looking into the past, some of those stars may not even exist anymore, and the Andromeda galaxy we see is essentially an ancient version of itself. We eventually make it all the way back to the cosmic microwave background and the early universe before Moon asks the only question that matters: do you know what movies are playing in theaters right now?And with that, science is over.It's time for Three in Five.The rules sound painfully simple. Rafe gives a category. The contestant gets five seconds to name three things that fit it. No stall tactics, no verbal buffering and no wasting precious seconds trying to remember information you absolutely knew before somebody put you on the radio.Naturally, everything goes wonderfully wrong.Mike in Fenton is asked for three Julia Roberts movies and fires off Pretty Woman, Ocean's 8 and Ocean's 11. Unfortunately, Ocean's 8 creates a minor courtroom proceeding before Mike recovers by naming states beginning with M and actors who played Batman.Matt gets cereal mascots and Saturday Night Live cast members while apparently communicating through technology recovered from an archaeological dig. Somehow, he survives.Then Chris is asked for three TV shows set in New York City and confidently opens with… CHiPs.Yes. CHiPs.California Highway Patrol.New York City.This comedy podcast cannot explain what happened there. We can only document it for future generations.Things become even more legally questionable when Chris attempts to name three Doritos flavors and introduces “spicy taco” into the proceedings. The judges investigate. Mercy is granted. Then he names ibuprofen, Tylenol and acetaminophen as three over-the-counter pain relievers, creating another debate because Tylenol and acetaminophen might be getting suspiciously friendly with each other. Somehow, tickets are still awarded because Moon has apparently decided rules are just another form of audience participation.Lisa joins the game and gives us what sounds suspiciously like the “Pittsburgh Farts” while attempting to name professional baseball teams. The crew loses it, Lisa survives, and we eventually discover she knows her domestic beers extremely well despite preferring Ichiban. Honestly, respect.Then Bill returns seeking redemption after a previous mathematical catastrophe, only to discover that redemption is apparently not available today. Asked to name three laundry detergent brands, Bill gets as far as “Tide.”Goodbye, Bill.Jordan struggles with NFL teams and St. Louis landmarks, giving us “the Arch, the River…” before the five-second clock claims another victim. At this point the game has stopped being trivia and become a controlled experiment studying what happens when humans experience extremely mild pressure.Finally, Brad attempts to end things on a high note with refrigerator condiments, solo artists known by one name, and holidays that get you a day off work. Naturally, even that creates debates over Elvis, Bowie, Veterans Day and what exactly constitutes a universally recognized day off.Throw in AC/DC and Foo Fighters tickets, Shinedown, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, refrigerator hot-sauce organization, missing Milk Duds and a shocking amount of leniency from Moon, and you've got another comedy podcast that started by contemplating the age of the universe and ended by arguing about condiments.Science taught us that looking into space means looking into the past.Three in Five taught us something even more important:Never judge someone for freezing on an easy question until Rafe puts a five-second timer on you.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
SIX SOUTHERN WOMEN. ONE UNBREAKABLE BOND. AND ENOUGH LAUGHTER AND TEARS TO DESTROY US! Roxy Striar, Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson watch Steel Magnolias (1989) for the first-time full movie reaction and review, celebrating one of Dolly Parton's most beloved film roles. Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, and Daryl Hannah lead the iconic Southern ensemble drama about friendship, family, love, and resilience in a small Louisiana community. From Shelby's wedding preparations and the lively conversations inside Truvy's beauty salon to Ouiser and Clairee's hilarious exchanges and Sally Field's unforgettable graveyard performance, Roxy, Andrew & Tara experience why “laughter through tears” remains the perfect description of Steel Magnolias. Steel Magnolias Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Directed by Herbert Ross (Footloose, The Secret of My Success) and adapted by Robert Harling from his acclaimed stage play, Steel Magnolias stars Sally Field as M'Lynn Eatenton (Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire), Dolly Parton as Truvy Jones (9 to 5, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas), Julia Roberts as Shelby Eatenton Latcherie (Pretty Woman, Erin Brockovich), Shirley MacLaine as Ouiser Boudreaux (Terms of Endearment, The Apartment), Olympia Dukakis as Clairee Belcher (Moonstruck, Look Who's Talking), and Daryl Hannah as Annelle Dupuy Desoto (Splash, Kill Bill). The cast also features Dylan McDermott as Jackson Latcherie (The Practice, American Horror Story) and Tom Skerritt as Drum Eatenton (Alien, Top Gun). Roxy, Andrew & Tara discuss Dolly Parton's warm and hilarious performance as Truvy, the friendship formed inside the beauty salon, Julia Roberts' Oscar-nominated portrayal of Shelby, Sally Field's emotionally devastating performance, Ouiser and Clairee's scene-stealing friendship, the film's endlessly quotable dialogue, and its powerful ability to move from comedy to heartbreak in an instant.

We share more memories of Dolly Parton from listeners and from Reba McEntire and Kenny Rogers talking about her. We talked about a golf ad that faced a severe backlash and calls for a product boycott after releasing an online promotional video that depicted a male founder shoving a female creator to the ground over a new co-branded driver. We debate whether or not it was made with ill intent. Bobby talked about yesterday being a sad day after getting the news of Dolly Parton passing away. Amy shared a really cool story she heard from Julia Roberts about Dolly.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tout a commencé par une conversation que j'ai eu avec un autre journaliste. J'avais déjà l'idée de faire un épisode sur Julia Roberts mais je m'interrogeais sur ce que j'allais bien pouvoir dire de sulfureux sur elle. Et ce journaliste me dit : « mais tu rigoles elle est hyper scandaleuse Julia Roberts ! ». Et moi : « Ah bon?!.. » Et donc voilà, j'ai creusé. Et j'ai assez vite réalisé qu'il y avait effectivement la Julia Roberts avec laquelle j'avais grandi, celle que j'ai découverte (et adoré) dans Pretty Woman. Et celle d'avant, dont les gens plus âgés que moi se souviennent sans doute, eux, mais qui est presque introuvable sur Internet aujourd'hui. Une Julia Roberts à la vie amoureuse hyperactive et chaotique, qui a longtemps fait les Une des tabloïds américains dans les années 90… Et ça a évidemment été ma première question : qui est cette Julia que j'ai l'impression ne pas connaître ? Si elle a tant de déboires amoureux, pourquoi tout le monde l'a oublié aujourd'hui ? Plus j'ai cherché, plus j'ai découvert la femme qui se cache derrière le sourire qu'on a appelé “Megawatt”, avec ses valises et ses casseroles. Julia Roberts pourrait-elle être…méchante ?

It's Friday on The Rizzuto Show, which means this comedy podcast is landing the plane with music nostalgia, celebrity chaos and enough questionable information to ruin several perfectly good movies.First, Rizz gets ambushed by his own shuffle when a Rollins Band song he hadn't heard in roughly 25 years suddenly comes back from the dead. That launches the crew into Henry Rollins memories, MTV, Beavis and Butt-Head, Black Flag, Lollapalooza and the fascinating contradiction that is Henry Rollins: an inspirational motivational speaker who always looks like he's about three seconds away from yelling at a parking meter.Some of the crew remembers the song. Some absolutely do not. Rizz insists everybody needs to listen to it. Rafe now apparently has new music for the closet he cries in. Great start.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Foo Fighters joining AC/DC in St. Louis continues to be enormous news. Dave Grohl explains just how much AC/DC influenced him, while everyone tries to figure out what happened to The Pretty Reckless and whether the lineup change was designed to give ticket sales another shot of adrenaline.Either way, September 8 is shaping up to be massive.Unfortunately, so is the parking nightmare.From there, celebrity news takes the wheel and immediately drives directly into a ditch. The upcoming Michael Jackson biopic sequel is expected to tackle the controversial later years of his life. The ongoing Tupac Shakur murder case raises new questions about alleged connections to Sean “Diddy” Combs. Then Biggie's family enters an estate fight after changes were reportedly made to his mother's will shortly before her death.Nothing brings a family together quite like hundreds of millions of dollars.We also get new music releases, Dr. Phil lawsuit news and one of the uglier family betrayals in comedy history. Dane Cook's documentary revisits his rise to superstardom and the revelation that his own brother, who handled his finances, embezzled roughly $12 million.Imagine becoming one of the biggest comedians in America and still discovering the most expensive heckler was sitting at Thanksgiving dinner.The entertainment rundown keeps rolling as Yellowjackets heads toward its final season and Dave Bautista takes over as Kratos in Amazon's God of War. The original actor had already gotten himself ridiculously ripped for the role before suffering a torn bicep and losing the job, which is one of those stories that makes your bad week seem slightly more manageable.Then Moon performs an important public service by warning everybody away from a movie he describes, with tremendous critical nuance, as a total piece of crap.You're welcome, America.And because apparently we haven't damaged enough childhood memories, Lern brings in a list of famous movie and TV couples who reportedly hated each other while working together. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey had issues before Dirty Dancing. Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn clashed on Four Christmases. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams reportedly needed a screaming match while making The Notebook before eventually dating in real life. Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte? Apparently not exchanging Christmas cards.Claire Danes wasn't thrilled with Leonardo DiCaprio's behavior on Romeo + Juliet, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny went through rough stretches on The X-Files, and Sarah Silverman had her own memorable confrontation with Michael Richards on Seinfeld.Romance is alive, everybody.We finish with celebrity birthdays before the Friday tradition manages to make things uncomfortable one last time, because this comedy podcast refuses to simply arrive at the weekend like a normal program.It's forgotten music, rock news, celebrity gossip, Hollywood feuds, ridiculous show-business money, St. Louis entertainment and enough sarcastic humor to make HR quietly close the browser tab. In other words, another perfectly normal episode of your favorite comedy podcast.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When the financial crisis hit and Americans were losing their homes, one movie had the courage to suggest: have you considered going to community college and dating Julia Roberts?

Phil and Emily are joined by writer and podcaster Katharine LaRonde to dig into Joe Roth's America's Sweethearts (2001). Julia Roberts plays the overlooked assistant stuck managing the press junket for her superstar sister (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and her sister's washed-up, soon-to-be-ex-husband (John Cusack), whose divorce turns out to be the only story the reporters actually want. It spirals into a movie that can't decide if it's mocking the junket circus or just running one.The three dig into the film's Hollywood-satire instincts that never quite land a punch, John Cusack playing a guy who's spent a year and a half hiding from his own life at Alan Arkin's wellness retreat, and Roger Ebert's read on the movie as a watered-down Singin' in the Rain. There's a real case here for reading America's Sweethearts as the movie that wanted to skewer Hollywood but fell in love with it instead. Promising, self-conscious, and never quite committed, same as the movie.Follow the show & guest:Podcast Like It's... - https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove - https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James - https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsKatharine LaRonde - https://www.instagram.com/katlaronde/

The Academy Award-nominated actor Eric Roberts -- the famously prolific thespian who somehow filmed Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" and Larry The Cable Guy's "Witless Protection" at the same time -- joins Phil and David for tasty sandwiches from Lorenzo California and a wild conversation. Joined at the table for part of the episode by Eric's beloved wife and manager Eliza Roberts, Eric discussed many aspects of his extraordinary life and career, from having Dr. Martin Luther King cut his birthday cake as a child, to his acclaimed work in movies like "The Pope of Greenwich Village" with Mickey Rourke, "Runaway Train" with Jon Voight and working with his favorite director ever, Bob Fosse in "Star 80." Eric also reads a few passages from his brutally candid 2024 memoir, "Runaway Train: Or, The Story Of My Life So Far," and shares his thoughts about the work onscreen he admires from his sister Julia Roberts, his daughter Emma Roberts, as well as the music of his stepson Keaton Simons, and so much more.

Erin Brockovich is an environmental advocate, consumer activist, and author who rose to national prominence after helping expose one of the largest groundwater contamination cases in U.S. history involving Pacific Gas & Electric.

For more than three decades, she has investigated environmental contamination, corporate misconduct, and public health issues, working alongside communities to hold powerful corporations accountable. Today, she is focused on the rapid expansion of AI data centers, raising awareness about their impact on water resources, energy infrastructure, and local communities while leading a nationwide initiative to track data center development.

Is Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer being seriously disrespected in the national college football coaching rankings? On this episode of The Connor O'Gara Show, Connor is joined by Lance Taylor of The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation covering Alabama football, SEC coaching rankings, terrible sports predictions, unexpected career turns and some unbelievable personal stories. Connor and Lance react to an ESPN ranking that placed Kalen DeBoer tied for 10th among college football coaches. Both believe DeBoer is the second-best coach in the SEC behind Kirby Smart, pointing to his 20-6 record against ranked opponents and his head-to-head success against coaches such as Steve Sarkisian, Dan Lanning and Lane Kiffin. They also preview Alabama's upcoming season and explain why a 10-2 record and College Football Playoff appearance would represent a successful transition year for the Crimson Tide—while potentially setting up a legitimate national championship run in 2027. Lance also revisits some of the worst sports takes of his career, including questioning the Kobe Bryant trade, doubting Patrick Mahomes before the Kansas City Chiefs drafted him and predicting a Purdue-Tennessee national championship matchup. The conversation then takes several unexpected turns, including:
Megyn Kelly is joined by Bryan Freedman, founder of Liner Freedman Taitelman + Cooley, to discuss the full settlement agreement between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively revealed exclusively on The Megyn Kelly Show, what the agreement actually says, why the agreement makes it clear it's time to move on from this entire case, Justin Baldoni's reaction to Blake Lively agreeing to settle the case before trial, how much Blake Lively will actually get for legal fees, what Baldoni does next, and more. Then Glenn Greenwald, host of “System Update” on Substack, joins to discuss the reported details of the new deal between President Trump and Iran, what we're learning about the actual terms of the agreement, why Trump was eager to end the conflict and why the neocons are furious, the huge success of the UFC event at the White House, the left's meltdown over the patriotic display compared to the woke events at the White House during Biden, why Ellen Page's comments about masculinity represent a step backwards for gay rights, the bizarre anti-Trump celebrity event featuring terrible musical performances, out-of-touch comments from celebrities like Julia Roberts, celebrities trying to draft off the Knicks' success, Jennifer Lopez's thirsty social media celebration, Hank Azaria complaining about his free MSG tickets, the inspiring performance of Jalen Brunson, and more.
