Podcasts about narrative method

On Your World of Creativity, we travel around the world talking with creative practitioners, entrepreneurs, artists, and innovators about how they get inspired, organize ideas, and turn imagination into impact.Today's guest didn't just build a successful business—he helped create an entirely new category within the entertainment industry.Richard Foos was the co-founder of Rhino Records and most recently of Shout! Factory, two companies that transformed the way music, television, and film archives are valued, distributed, and monetized. What began as a passion for out-of-print records became a movement that helped define today's streaming culture, vinyl resurgence, and the growing importance of content libraries.Richard's WebsiteRichard's Facebook pageWe'll explore creativity, entrepreneurship, cultural preservation, and what happens when you discover opportunity hiding in plain sight.Guest BioRichard Foos is the co-founder of Rhino Records, one of the most influential reissue labels in music history, and later Shout! Factory, a pioneering company focused on television and film distribution.Beginning with a small record store on Santa Monica Boulevard, Richard and his partner Harold Bronson built Rhino into a globally respected brand known for preserving, restoring, and reintroducing forgotten and out-of-print music to new generations of listeners.The success of Rhino helped establish what many now call reissue culture—a model that transformed entertainment economics by demonstrating the long-term value of existing catalogs. Rhino was eventually acquired by Time Warner and became the catalog development and marketing division of Warner Music Group.Richard later co-founded Shout! Factory, bringing similar innovation to television and film archives. Today he continues advising the entertainment industry while focusing on social impact through organizations including The Narrative Method, Volunteer Collective, Cedars Sinai, and other nonprofit initiatives.His career sits at the intersection of creativity, commerce, culture, memory, and preservation.1: Seeing Opportunity Where Others Saw ObsolescenceRichard, one of the themes we explore on this podcast is creative vision—the ability to see possibilities that others overlook.Back in the 1970s, most of the entertainment industry was focused almost exclusively on the next release, the next hit, the next trend.What led you to recognize value in out-of-print recordings and forgotten catalogs when much of the industry considered them yesterday's news? Was there a specific artist, album, or moment that convinced you this could become a business? How much of that insight came from being a fan versus being an entrepreneur?2: The Soul of the Rhino BrandLooking back at Rhino Records and now Shout! Factory:What was your focus?What work were you really doing beyond selling records and media?Who were you serving?What gave you credibility?What industry assumptions were you challenging?And what larger mission connected all of it?3: Reissue Culture Changed EverythingToday we take streaming libraries, catalog recommendations, and rediscovered classics for granted. But Rhino helped create the blueprint.How did the process of licensing, restoring, packaging, and reintroducing older content evolve into what has now become one of the dominant business models in entertainment? What resistance did you encounter from record labels and rights holders in the early days? When did you realize the model was bigger than a niche collector audience?4: What Audiences Teach Us About CreativityOne of the fascinating aspects of your career is that you've spent decades observing how audiences reconnect with older creative work. What patterns have you seen in how people rediscover music, television, and film from previous generations? And what does that tell us about human creativity, nostalgia, storytelling, and cultural memory?5: The Future of Creativity, Archives, and Cultural LegacyToday, entertainment companies increasingly view their catalogs as some of their most valuable assets.Streaming platforms are built on libraries. Vinyl sales continue to grow. Legacy content often outperforms new releases. What does this shift tell us about the future of creativity and content consumption? And what advice would you give today's creators about building work that remains valuable decades from now?If you enjoyed today's conversation, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast.

What if the story you have been keeping to yourself - the one that feels too messy, too personal, too much - is exactly the thing that would make someone else feel less alone? Shari Foos has spent her career building spaces where women write their truth, share it with strangers, and walk out feeling seen for the first time in years. She calls it the Narrative Method. What she is really doing is fighting the epidemic of loneliness one story at a time.SUMMARY & GUEST INTROIf you have been surrounded by colleagues, partners, and friends your entire career and still felt profoundly unseen - you are not broken, and you are not alone. That specific kind of loneliness has a name, and it has a cure. Shari Foos spent decades building it.

Social media, marketing, and the constant noise of what we are supposed to want, look like, and be. Shari names the force that has been quietly shaming women into conforming - and explains why the antidote is not more willpower. It is honest expression.Why Small Talk Is Making Us Lonelier. When you skip the surface and go straight to what actually makes someone tick, something shifts. Shari breaks down why depth creates real connection, why women in corporate America are starving for it, and what gets in the way.The Night She Went Looking for Herself. At sixteen, Shari walked through her neighborhood alone in the middle of the night. Not because anything was wrong. Because she was trying to find herself. The police brought her home. The next morning she gathered her family and said: 'I wasn't on drugs. I was looking for myself.' That moment became the foundation for everything she built.We Are So Quick to Blame Ourselves. The patterns that held you back were not character flaws. They were survival responses to circumstances you didn't choose. Shari makes the case for empathy toward your younger self - and explains why that compassion is not softness. It is the beginning of real growth.You Can't Go Wrong When You Follow Your Passions. Shari gave up a career she loved. It felt like loss.

Free online salons, writing prompts drawn from 12 core concepts, a community from across the country and beyond.

Buddies! I'm back with another interview on Vinyl Community Podcasts, this time speaking with Richard Foos—the influential founder behind Rhino Entertainment and co-founder of Shout! Studios. Sometimes referred to as the "Godfather of Modern Reissues", the work from Richard's companies has been instrumental in the current "golden age" of vinyl, and have inspired reissue labels we know and love like Light in the Attic (LITA), Sundazed Music, and the folks in Salina, KS at Analogue Productions.  In this reflective interview, Foos shares the incredible journey from opening the original Rhino Records store in Westwood, Los Angeles in 1973 to building one of the most influential reissue labels in music history. From preserving lost music and comedy albums to pioneering deluxe box sets, archival releases, and collector culture, Richard Foos helped shape how generations of music fans experience physical media. With Rhino, he set a standard for quality and bonus essays, lost tracks, features, etc. that music fans have enjoyed for decades.  Topics include: The origins of his connection to music The early days of Rhino Records, the record store Building the reissue label and store through a couple "happy accidents" Legendary Rhino projects involving The Monkees, Ramones, James Brown and MORE! What goes into curating a reissue choice? from licensing to consumer desire to personal preferences Launching Shout! Factory and expanding into film and television preservation Why curation, community, and storytelling still matter What does he think of the "vinyl resurgence" of the past two decades? Moving away from the boardroom and into philanthropic projects like The Narrative Method and Volunteer Collective Did Dave Grohl "license" his name to when naming the Foo Fighters?   This conversation is essential listening for vinyl collectors, music historians, physical media enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the business and culture behind record collecting.   Often imitated, never duplicated, please join us for another fine interview courtesy of Vinyl Community Podcasts!

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Shari Foos, founder of The Narrative Method. The nonprofit addresses the crisis of loneliness by connecting people to their stories and creative expression.    Now in its tenth year, The Narrative Method offers free online salons, interviews with interesting people, programs for communities in need, and more. One of the events they offer is called the library dinner, which can happen at a library, in a public space or at someone's home.    “Everyone meets at this space and goes away for one hour and learns something, anything,” therapist Foos, MA/MFT/MS, explains. “[Then] everyone has a lovely dinner and goes around and shares what they've learned; it's a fascinating experience of just exchanging what seems to be impromptu knowledge and information.”    Foos, a former punk rock musician, radio and TV writer, comedian, university professor and co-founder of IKAR-LA, adds, “It's really fun, and it's a great way for people to get to know each other on a whole other level."     “I love what meals do,” she says. “Enjoying [food and conversations] with other people… is such a thrill.”   Foos talks about her connection to cooking and food, as well as the Library Dinner experience and how to curate your own. She also shares the recipe for Cinnamon Surprise Cake, which her son and his cousin created in 2001; they were six and seven at the time. This inexact recipe, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts, really illustrates the joy and creativity that can go into cooking and baking.   Learn more about Shari Foos and sign up for the programs at TheNarrativeMethod.org and follow @TheNarrativeMethod.com on Instagram. For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.

This week, I talk to my good friend of nearly a decade, author Katie Horwitch. We reminisce about our years of friendship, both moving to New York, and the evolving nature of relationships with distance. Our conversation also delves into the celebration of her new book and exploring her writing process. With a background in theater, Katie has long been an advocate for helping women shift negative self-talk patterns, a theme central to her book. She emphasizes the importance of beginning with the "self" rather than the "talk" when trying to shift negative internal dialog. In this episode, we explore why developing a stronger sense of self is the initial step to shifting negative self-talk. Additionally, we touch on Katie's insights into loneliness, belonging, casual negativity, prioritization, coping with overwhelm, distilling a project down to a concise thesis, and energy management.

This week I spoke with Zachary Hourihane, a journalist living in Singapore. After going to school in New York, he returned to Singapore and began his career working in journalism there. He now works in corporate advertising while simultaneously being a prolific pop culture creator. He delivers heavily researched video essays and his thoughtful perspective on pop culture on his channel Swiftologist. He has videos on everything from Lana Del Rey to Lorde to tk. Tk tk and he's most known for chronicling the life and times of his favorite pop icon, Taylor Swift. He's been part of the fandom for over a decade and for the last four years, he's co-hosted the podcast The Evolution of a Snake where he and his co-host, Madeline Rubicam (writer of the Lizard Review), go through year by year and break down the catalog and career of Taylor Swift. We cover the Beatles-esque mania of Taylor Swift and Zack's take on where it's going from here, as well as how he got into the fandom, the early Tumblr days, connecting with his co-host Madeline, how he got into American pop culture, selective vulnerability and self-mythologizing, and his process for making video essays and keeping up with the pace of media while working full time, including how he takes care of himself amidst the busyness. We recorded this on zoom  a few months ago; it was late at night for him in Singapore and early in the morning for me.

This week is not an interview, instead it's two clips from the second show I co-host with Serena Wolf, called Spiraling. It's our fifth season and this season is a little bit in the "messy middle," which I'll explain in the first clip from episode two. In it Serena and I talk about how stress and being “in process” affect anxiety, feeling stagnant, worrying about being behind, and how perspective is the ultimate reframe. It's a toast to your next existential crisis…Then I play a clip from an unreleased episode where we discuss how we've been learning that taking breaks actually improves our productivity, while also touching on the surprising difficulty of committing to rest.

We talk about his music trajectory from playing in emo bands in high school to beginning a music career in Nashville to touring as a classic country artist and now, making the shift to pop country. We also delve into our feelings around aging and entering what Richard Rohr calls, "the second half of life," bouncing between projects, attachment styles, dating, and learning to not take anything too seriously—especially yourself. Show Notes:- Find Cale on the Web | Instagram | Spotify | Book- Maddie's newsletter: Wait, Have You Read This? The specific Issue I read from: 06: Nice Guys- Listen to Cale's music and follow him on Spotify to find his new singles  - This episode is sponsored by The Narrative Method: learn more & sign up for a free writing or conversation Salon here!- Subscribe to our newsletter to get show notes + essays, etc. sent to your inbox- A few spots open in the Creative Clinic: more info here or email me (katie@letitouttt.com)- Check out the Let It Out Kits: self-study workshops for personal growth | sign up for the Talk Kit waitlist- Follow @letitouttt on Instagram. I'm @katiedaleboutIf you liked this episode, try out from the archive:Episode 418: Cale remembers his thoughts: musician Cale Tyson on rehab, recovery & our neighborhood feeling like high school...

Melina started her own creative marketing agency called Cornerlight Digital and recently made the challenging decision to pause it to take a sabbatical.We recorded this while she was in the midst of her career pause, so she shared what's been coming up for her, including: exploring synchronicities, reconnecting with her inner child, and reevaluating her values post-pandemic.

This week I spoke with iconic musician Moby, who has recently ventured into podcasting with "MOBY POD" alongside sustainability expert Lindsay Hicks. I met them both for the first time when I went to Moby's house to record this a few months ago. We talked for hours about everything from the sunk cost fallacy to attachment and aversion. He's candid about getting sober and his experience with fame and how that has impacted his perspective.

In today's episode of the In the Lead Show, I have a conversation with Shari Foos, founder of the Narrative Method. We're all susceptible to a certain amount of influence that can negatively shift our self-perspective and our perspective of dissimilar cultures and people both near and far. Whether those influences come from our own community, popular culture, or artificial intelligence online, there's little we can do to avoid it. Shari's passion and mission with The Narrative Method is to help peel away participants' false assumptions and beliefs to help them refocus their perspectives and understanding. Through the modality of storytelling and a practice called “relational mindfulness,” participants are able to develop radical empathy, compassion, and understanding for those around them. Jennifer Tsang is an ICF Leadership Coach who partners with executives, leaders & everyday people to build more consciousness into how they lead their teams and most importantly, themselves. She believes that leadership is an inside out approach. As someone who has worked on her own personal development and self-leadership for over 15 years, she started her coaching practice in 2020 to help others discover how to lead themselves and grow professionally and personally. Today, Jennifer offers a wide variety of programs and services – from individual coaching, to group and team coaching, mindfulness programs and facilitated group conversations.

Shari also hosts other great weekly zoom topics. Sharri's Advice I'm going to give you a little self soothing tool. When you're stressed out, this is something you could do anywhere. Take your dominant hand and put it firmly on your heart so that you feel your heartbeat. That hand is kind of the most grown up and that part of you is telling your fears, your worries, it's cool, don't worry. But from the inside, you feel that pressure and you can relax. Because it is a way to signal to your unconscious. The way you know your mom or your dad or someone who loved you may have loved would say, it's okay. You don't have to worry and it can calm you down really fast.

In the last three episodes of Parenting Impossible, The Special Needs Survival Podcast,  Annette Hines has been telling her story to explain how her journey brought her into the disability community as a mother, caregiver, advocate, and attorney. Now we are going to explore with the help of Shari Foos how stories can provide us with a real human connection. Shari Foos is a therapist, relationship specialist, adjunct professor, and creator of The Narrative Method. The Narrative Method is an award-winning approach to building connections between people through their storytelling.  There are twelve Core Concepts within the Narrative Method. Relational Mindfulness is a core concept that promotes the humanistic practice of relating compassionately to build deeper understanding. Another concept, A.W.E.  is embracing Awareness, Wonder, and Empathy to see the world through someone else's perspectives. Each concept describes the ways in which we connect with one another. Shari shares with us that telling stories to one another allows us to be invited into belonging with others, creating mutual respect and empathy for each other.

We're all susceptible to a certain amount of influence that can negatively shift our self-perspective and our perspectives of others. How can we peel away the resulting false assumptions and beliefs to build or rebuild meaningful human connections? Shari Foos, celebrated therapist and Founder of The Narrative Method, talks about the practice of using relational awareness in business, education, and everyday life to develop radical empathy, compassion, and understanding for those around us.

Find out what happens when we mix Executive Presence with Relational Mindfulness! Our guest: Shari Foos Shari Foos is a Marriage and Family Therapist, adjunct professor, writer and improvisational artist. After twenty years of private practice, she wanted to address the growing isolation and need for real connection in an increasingly technological world. While one-on-one therapy and counseling offer profound help, only groups can provide the sense of empowerment and belonging within a family or community. So in 2013, she founded The Narrative Method, a 501C3 with the mission to create group programs in which participants could see themselves in each other's stories, increasing empathy and mutual understanding. The effectiveness of hundreds of transformative workshops with at-risk populations including veterans, youth and disenfranchised women, was proven in a study by California State Northridge.

“It's a profound thing to offer an apology. An apology is not dependent on forgiveness and has no excuses. An apology is me humbly coming to you and saying, “Oh, I see that I've hurt you; that I was inappropriate in some way.” And by the way, I may not have intended to hurt you. I may not even agree that it was something for which you should feel hurt. But that's not the concern of the apology. The apology is merely recognizing that you feel hurt based on something I did or said. I want to own own your pain, and apologize for it” - Shari Foos  To kick things off this year, we have with us Shari Foos, Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of The Narrative Method.  Shari's point of view on inclusion was honed while studying Narrative Medicine at Columbia University. The program was conceived as a way to teach empathy to doctors. “There was a huge perspective about social justice, and what does it mean for someone to speak for a patient and you can extrapolate that to what does it mean for anyone to tell someone else's story. And so I have always been a big fan of the group process since I was a teenager, when I was depressed and found myself in group therapy. And what was so powerful that and I see to this day is that as important as one-on-one relationships are, they cannot simulate a good family the way a group can. And when everyone is nodding, because they understand what you're saying, you feel normal, you feel good, you feel you belong. So that's why I decided to take all of the work I had done, and create a group process where people could have meaningful conversations, without small talk, based on inspirational art, or videos or music or something that evokes a prompt, and then they'll go into smaller groups and discuss those prompts. Or in the case of writing groups, they write about them.” - Shari Foos  Here's some of what Susan and Rohini discuss with Shari “We're natural storytellers, based on the professional lines that we have chosen (as marketers and PR leaders), but our ‘why' came from a personal and painful experience and the urge to make sure that doesn't happen to somebody else, or the urge, perhaps for somebody else to learn from the hard soul searching work that we had done”  - Rohini Mukherji 3:53   “What Shari said about that “squeaky wheel” kid usually being the creative kid stood out for me. I have a 10 year old daughter and she's definitely curious and challenging. She's very, very creative. I say often, well you're lucky, you're in the right place to be that squeaky wheel. I'm listening closely because I want to encourage that creativity. Because for me, the environment was much more “Don't ask too many questions. Be seen and not heard.” The person who's telling a story is being brave. How do we make make them more comfortable?” -Susan Diaz  8:03  For that and more on empathy, apologies, creating safe spaces.

In the spur of the moment, a simple argument can go out of hand if we focus on proving that we are right rather than seeking to understand our partner's emotional needs. We basically just listen so we can rebut. Whilst it does seem to be clever, it is not the same as understanding. So, what can we do to change that? Shari Foos dives into what Relational Mindfulness is and how we can apply it to create meaningful connections in both romantic and non-romantic relationships.  Shari Foos is a licensed marriage and family therapist and creator of The Narrative Method. She holds an MA in clinical psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles, and a Master's in Science in Narrative Medicine from Columbia University.  A sought-after expert on the subject of relationship and meaningful connection, Foos' writing and commentary have appeared in a range of online and print publications including Real Simple, Huffington Post, Women's Health, KBLA, Fatherly, LA Weekly, and Bustle.

SHOW NOTES Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9_RZSGGz1dg (https://youtu.be/9_RZSGGz1dg) Shari Foos is the founder of The Narrative Method, a non-profit dedicated to connecting individuals to and through their stories. She holds both an MS in Narrative Medicine from Columbia and an MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles. She is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and her writing and commentary have appeared in a range of online and print publications, including Real Simple, Huffington Post, Women's Health, Fatherly, Thrive Global, The LA Weekly, and Bustle. Shari created The Narrative Method because she wanted to bring people from all backgrounds together to explore who they really are, separate from the things they had been told and had internalized about themselves. She wanted them to have the opportunity to connect through their stories so they could recognize themselves in each other and discover similarities over differences and new perspectives over the fear of the unknown. In today's episode, we talk about the power of sharing your narrative, the vulnerability, and the connection it generates with people…Let's get into today's episode.

Shari Foos is a Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of  The Narrative Method. She and I have a vulnerable and lively discussion about our shared experiences as therapists, children with trauma, storytellers, and humorists. Shari's work is fascinating and in complete alignment with my philosophy and passions. This was a thrill for me to connect with another human on such a deep level.  In this episode, you will learn about the power of a story from a new perspective. Shari first explains the difference between Narrative Therapy, Narrative Method, and Narrative Medicine, all of which are steeped in the values of storytelling, empathy, and inclusion.  We then talked about our traumatic upbringings and how we used humor to heal and how we now lead with vulnerability to connect with others. As humans, we have a desire to be known. If we mask or armor up and never show our authentic selves, we can not be fully known or loved, and we will thus feel alone. Share your pain and joys. Share your shame and laughter. Explore "Wonderland", the place inside of you where imagination lives, where you celebrate your most creative and truest self and then SHARE it with the world.   TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SHARI, VISIT HERE:https://www.thenarrativemethod.org/https://www.facebook.com/thenarrativemethodsharifoos@thenarrativemethod.orgBOOK YOUR FREE COACHING CALL WITH PASHA HERE:https://calendly.com/pashamarlowe/30minPASHA LOVES FEEDBACK AND THE CHANCE TO MEET HER LISTENERS: pasha@pashamarlowe.comTO LEARN MORE OR TO HAVE PASHA GUEST ON YOUR PODCAST, VISIT HERE:https://pashamarlowe.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/pashamarlowe)
