Most leaders do not fail because they lack ambition. They fail because pressure exposes the weak spots in how they communicate, decide, and lead. In this conversation, Paul Young breaks leadership into seven core elements, then shows how those elements play out in the real world. From storytelling and executive presence to AI workflows and burnout, this episode asks a deeper question: what actually helps a leader stay effective when complexity keeps rising? If you are trying to lead with more clarity, build stronger systems, or use AI without losing judgment, this episode will give you a lot to think about. The Crisis That Revealed Who the Real Leader Was One of the most memorable stories in the episode centers on a major security crisis, when a room full of executives turned to one lower-level expert for direction. His name was Rush, and in the most intense moment, title stopped mattering. That story matters because it exposes something many teams forget. Leadership is not always formal. Sometimes the person people trust most is the one with the clearest thinking under pressure. If you want to grow your influence, that is a standard worth paying attention to. Why Data Alone Rarely Moves People Leaders love spreadsheets because they feel safe. But safe does not always mean persuasive. Paul makes the case that storytelling is often the missing link between insight and action. That matters to any leader trying to get buy-in. People do not remember the slide deck. They remember the customer story, the turning point, the real-world example that makes the issue feel urgent. If you cannot make people feel the problem, they will not move on the solution. The Simple Opening That Changes How People Listen Paul shares a technique he calls the bond moment, a short opening story designed to grab attention before the usual bio or credentials. It sounds simple, but it changes the energy of the room fast. Why is that important? Because most leaders lose people in the first minute. If you can open with tension instead of background, people lean in. That one small shift can make every presentation, pitch, or interview more memorable. The Career Gap That Has Nothing to Do With Talent Paul contrasts two product managers, Chris and Will. One kept getting stuck on frustrating projects and started questioning his path. The other kept rising into bigger opportunities and leadership roles. The gap was not intelligence. It was communication, influence, and the soft skills that shape how others experience your leadership. That makes this section especially relevant for listeners who are doing good work but still feel overlooked. The AI Shortcut That Could Quietly Hurt Your Team AI can absolutely speed things up. Paul is not anti-AI. What he challenges is the growing temptation to use AI as an easy button, producing polished work without the judgment to know whether it is actually good. That is a big deal for leaders. Faster output is seductive, especially under pressure. But if your team loses the ability to question, refine, and evaluate quality, you are not creating leverage. You are scaling weak thinking. About Paul Young Paul Young helps leaders and product teams improve how they communicate, decide, and execute. In this episode, he brings a practical framework for leadership that feels especially timely as teams wrestle with AI, burnout, and the pressure to move faster without losing quality.

The Big Pig is back!As July, turned into August in 1985, the world was still basking in the afterglow of, what was already being called the event of the decade. No, not the ceasing production of the Sinclair C5, or even the latest episode of Blind Date with our Cilla. Live Aid had defined the coming together of all things pop for a generation, in the name of raising money for African famine. And those bands and artists who graced the stages in London and Philadelphia (well, perhaps not Adam Ant, as we say) were feeling the seismic effect of not only the public's affection - but also their pocket money. Duran Duran, Paul Young, Simple Minds, U2 and others (still, sorry , not you Adam) were enjoying plenty of success. And the loudest and most exciting shirt of the summer did not belong to BBC's Mark Ellen or David Hepworth, it was the iconic NOW pig. Yes, NOW That's What I Call Music 5 not only provided THE soundtrack to our summer in 1985, it also gave us the most gloriously techicoloured album cover. How exciting was that list of stars?And joining me for this episode to share his memories of this classic summer of music is journalist and author Graeme Thomson.And what can you expect? Duran Duran climb the Eiffel Tower. UK funk and soul makes a move for the charts through the fantastic sounds of Fine Young Cannibals, Simply Red and Jaki Graham. Graeme shares why 80s Bowie deserves attention, how Marillion (and a band T-Shirt!) made an early impact on his listening, what Jim Kerr told him about Don't You Forget About Me and why U2 needed to evolve to survive. But significantly, join us as we discuss how compilation albums take us back, tell real stories of a period and revel in how important pop music for all of us in our formative years and has the ability to stay with us as we move through our lives.And enjoy Graeme's reflections on his latest book, In Another World: The Four Seasons of Talk Talk, and the iconic sounds of a quite unique band.Step aside from life in 2026 for an hour or so, and join us back in a time when it really was great to be alive.

À la fin des années 80, Zucchero n'est plus le type qu'on ne remarquait pas, au début, lors du Festival de Sanremo. En Italie, il a trouvé son public, ses disques se vendent, et surtout, il a imposé quelque chose de nouveau : du rhythm and blues chanté en italien.En 1987, il a ainsi sorti un album déterminant dans sa carrière : Blue's. L'album marche très fort dans la péninsule, et parmi les titres, une ballade passe particulièrement bien à la radio : “Senza una donna”.Mais comme souvent à l'époque, la chanson n'est pas arrêtée à la frontière que par les Alpes. Elle tourne en Italie, elle accompagne les soirées, elle passe dans les voitures, mais elle ne sort pas vraiment du pays.Pourtant, Zucchero commence à fréquenter les circuits internationaux, les studios, les musiciens de passage. C'est dans ce contexte qu'il croise Paul Young, une des voix immédiatement reconnaissables en Angleterre, un chanteur qui a déjà installé des succès dans toute l'Europe, il était déjà à l'affiche du Live Aid, en 1985.Zucchero lui fait entendre “Senza una donna”. La mélodie, la structure, l'émotion, tout est déjà là. Il ne lui manque qu'une porte d'entrée pour le public qui ne comprend pas l'italien.Tout va très vite : la chanson est réenregistrée en anglais, et surtout, en duo. Le texte est adapté, sans trahir l'idée originale, chacun gardant sa manière de chanter.La chanson entre dans les playlists des radios anglaises, puis européennes. Et très vite, c'est le tube.Ce qui frappe, c'est que rien n'a été recalibré pour “faire plus international”. La progression est la même, l'atmosphère aussi, et la voix de Zucchero reste intacte, avec ses aspérités. Simplement, cette fois, elle dialogue avec celle de Paul Young, et c'est ça qui donne à la chanson son ticket d'entrée dans les radios et les télés.Pour Zucchero, c'est un basculement plus que professionnel. C'est toute sa vie qui s'en trouve bouleversée. Lui qui, adolescent, chantait des titres américains en phonétique dans des salles des fêtes de Reggio Émilie, se retrouve avec une chanson que des publics étrangers reprennent, comprennent, s'approprient. Le trajet s'est inversé.Pour la première fois, une de ses chansons ne reste pas en Italie : elle circule comme celles qu'il écoutait, seul, des années plus tôt, sur le tourne-disque fatigué, dans sa chambre d'adolescent. C'est vrai qu'il n'y a de vent favorable pour ceux qui savent où ils vont.

This episode of Rethinking God with Tacos is a raw, live-recorded conversation exploring some of the most difficult theological questions—wrath, hell, suffering, justice, and human brokenness—through the lens of a God who is fundamentally love. Recorded at Grace Orlando for the Sacred Undoing Conference, the throughline is a radical reimagining of God not as a distant judge but as a restorative presence, whose “wrath” is the fiery, healing force of love that seeks to destroy everything in us that is not of love's kind, without ever harming our true identity. Through stories, humor, and honest dialogue, the conversation challenges traditional frameworks around sin, sacrifice, church, and judgment, reframing them as misunderstandings rooted in separation thinking, while inviting listeners into a deeper vision of union, restoration, and a God whose relentless affection aims to make us fully alive.

Aujourd'hui dans La cover, Margaux Lassalle revient sur le destin singulier de "Tainted Love". À l'origine, le titre est enregistré en 1964 par Gloria Jones, sans rencontrer le succès. Il faudra attendre 1981 pour que le duo britannique Soft Cell en fasse un immense tube new wave et impose définitivement la chanson dans la culture pop. Depuis, les relectures se multiplient. En 2001, Marilyn Manson en propose une version industrielle pour la bande originale du film "Not Another Teen Movie", accentuant la noirceur du texte. En 2006, Paul Young surprend avec une adaptation swing sur l'album Rock Swings, tandis que Imelda May y apporte une touche rockabilly affirmée. En 2020, le groupe brésilien Sepultura livre une lecture résolument métal, fidèle à son identité. La chronique se conclut avec la version du groupe allemand Scorpions, parue en 2011 : une relecture puissante et taillée pour les stades d'un titre dont les paroles, évoquant une relation toxique dont on cherche à s'échapper, continuent de résonner à travers les générations.

Join in as we discuss the film's racially diverse godhead, Sam Worthington's struggling performance, and our own experiences attempting to parse the book's bizarre theology. Plus: Why was this movie such a hit in Brazil? Why does it have a rom com score? Is having the faith of a child actually a good idea? And, most importantly, could Bones have solved this murder more quickly than Officer Tommy and the FBI? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe! Next week: It (2017)

In this episode, I sit down with drummer Paul Stewart for a conversation that starts with how music can connect people across oceans and turns into a deep dive on taste, touch, craft, and the long arc of a career. Paul and I talk about how I first discovered his band The Feeling years ago from a CD a friend handed me after a gig, and how that one listen turned into a long-term appreciation for the songs, the playing, and the production. Paul shares why so many musicians connected with that sound, and how their work pulled from both the 70s world of Supertramp, 10CC, Elton John, and Fleetwood Mac, and the deeper 60s roots that fed that era, like The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks, and The Zombies. We get into drum sound, why that thuddy, dead 70s tone fits their music so well, and how those choices shaped the identity of the recordings.Paul walks me through his origin story, from being hooked on drum sound as a kid, to getting his first kit at 12, to saying yes to every playing opportunity he could find. He tells an incredible story about a middle school teacher who stayed late after school so Paul could get extra time in the drum room, and we zoom out on how mentors, parents, and supportive educators change the course of a life. From there, we talk about preparation, professionalism, and the responsibility you carry in an ensemble, including how the anxiety of being underprepared can be its own lesson in why doing the work matters. Paul also shares a regret he has about not keeping his reading chops sharper, and why playing along with records became his true north as a drummer.We dig into influences from both sides of Paul's musical world, from rock and early Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine, to the cassette tapes an uncle sent that opened the door to jazz, funk, fusion, and players like Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, and the Tower of Power world. Paul explains how the UK acid jazz scene became a significant pull, and how an acid jazz band at music college eventually evolved into The Feeling. We also talk about what it's like working with major artists outside the band, including how touring logistics can lead to local musicians being hired, and how surreal it can be to play iconic songs with legendary voices while still remembering they're just musicians on stage doing the same job.A meaningful part of our conversation is about performance anxiety, stage fright, and the emotional extremes musicians ride before, during, and after gigs. We talk honestly about confidence, coping, and what it means to choose a healthier path, and we acknowledge that even global superstars can struggle with fear right before walking on stage. Paul and I also reflect on the approaching anniversary of The Feeling's first album, how those songs were originally recorded as a weekend friends project without any expectation of success, and how playing them now carries twenty years of growth, finesse, and perspective while still honoring the original parts that make the songs work. We close with what Paul has been up to recently, including work with Anastacia, Paul Young, The Voice UK, and the broader creative world around the band, and why music remains a powerful source of joy, balance, and hope for people everywhere.Music from the Episode:Never Be Lonely (The Feeling)Everyday and All of the Night (The Feeling)Sun Won't Shine (The Feeling)I Want You Now (The Feeling)Thank you for listening.

Sören “Sulo” Karlsson is mostly known as the frontman of the Swedish boogie rockers, The Diamond Dogs. But he's also known for being the singer of the UK supergroup, The Crunch, featuring members from The Clash, Sham 69 and Cockney Rejects. Since the early 1990's, Sulo has been carrying the torch for early 70's soulful rock ‘n roll well rooted in British history.Through his career he's worked with artists such as Ian Hunter, Terry Reid, Robert Wyatt, Max Martin, Crystal Gayle, Paul Young, Maria McKee and more.Besides being one of Sweden's most prolific singer/songwriters, he's also an author of a handful of books, including co-writing the autobiography of the former UEFA President, Lennart Johansson, who was one of the most influential leaders of international football, or soccer, as we call it in America. Lennart Johansson was the brains behind the Champions League. He was also responsible for bringing England back into the European cups with his famous words, “England needs Europe and Europe needs England.” I've read Sulo's book, Lennart Johannson: A Mate Among Bigwigs and Trophies, and found it to be a fascinating study of the legendary international soccer leader's life growing up as a poor boy from the outskirts of Stockholm who had the unusual gift to be able to bring people together to work toward fair play in a game that includes everyone. I highly recommend Sulo's terrific book to you.https://wildkingdom.se/artists/sulo/https://www.newhavenpublishingltd.com/soren-sulo-karlsson/
Steve Boltz in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.steveboltz.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/920848814634353/ In 1971 he was recruited into the band Atomic Rooster, part of a new line-up for a tour supporting the band's third album In Hearing of Atomic Rooster and their No. 4 charting single "The Devil's Answer". The band was also recording their fourth LP Made in England which was released in 1972 with a more funky sound replacing their original progressive rock leanings. Bolton also appeared on Devil's Answer: Live on the BBC released in 1998, and on the release of In Satan's Name: The Definitive Collection.

The US President Donald Trump, joined by the Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee, has established a task force to take on crime in the city of Memphis. The Democratic-led city is the latest to face a Trump administration crackdown on crime, following Washington DC. Trump has vowed to 'fix' the city after shelving plans for a similar operation in Chicago, reportedly due to opposition from local and state officials. Memphis' mayor, Paul Young, also has voiced opposition to the plan, arguing that crime already is falling without federal intervention.

In this profound conversation, William Paul Young—author of The Shack—joins Dr. Catherine Toon to explore how God shows up in the very places we often try to escape: our pain, our confusion, and our chaos. Together, they unpack how transformation isn’t a lightning bolt from heaven, but a sacred, often spiral journey of revisiting wounds with God’s redeeming love. They explore the critical difference between grief and shame, the power of present-moment living, and how we’re invited to participate in—not control—God’s redemptive work in the world. This episode is a breath of fresh grace for anyone navigating deconstruction, burnout, trauma, or the ache of not knowing what's next. It’s a reminder that you’re not behind, not broken beyond repair, and never alone. Topics covered include: * God’s relentless presence in our darkest moments * Why transformation happens in spirals, not straight lines * Redeeming grief and silencing shame * Embracing your humanity as sacred * Letting go of grand callings and stepping into divine participation * The difference between knowing about God and knowing Him deeply Whether you're in the wilderness, at the edge of burnout, or rediscovering faith beyond formulas, this conversation will meet you right where you are—with healing, hope, and holy presence.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Catherine Toon hosts Dr. Matt Pandel (psychologist and theologian) and Paul Young (author of The Shack), as they dive into the powerful themes of Matt’s newest book "Fractured Witness." This work boldly recognizes the Church’s (Ekklēsia’s) fractured legacy—how faith has been used to justify harm, and how true redemption calls us back to the real Jesus and the reality of what the Church was always meant to be. You’ll hear deeply personal stories, theological reflections, and honest critiques of systems that distort the face of God. From the misuse of scripture to the weaponization of religion, we are invited to sit in the discomfort—and from that sacred space, rediscover a gospel of relentless love, healing, and reconciliation, that can and is occurring through the evolving beautiful healthy church, the way she was meant to be. ✨ If you’ve been wounded by the Church or are seeking to reconcile faith with truth, justice, and compassion and practical suggestions operate in community as God’s life-giving Church, this episode is for you. A behavioral psychologist and theologian, Dr. Matt Pandel is first and foremost a communicator. Ordained in the Anglican/Episcopal tradition, he remains fiercely ecumenical, believing the Church is best when she honors all of the traditions and expressions from which she is formed. In addition to his work as President and Professor of Trinitarian Theology and Spiritual Direction at Global Grace Seminary, he maintains a private consulting practice and serves as a regional mental health policy advisor. He resides in the picturesque Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with his wife and best friend, Carrie. “Fractured Witness” available on Amazon To learn more about Dr. Matt: https://linktr.ee/drpandel www.noexceptionsministries.org For more information about Paul Young: https://wmpaulyoung.com/ Podcast: paulyoungpodcast.com FREE Protect Your Purpose Masterclass: 3 Keys to Staying Inspired and Thriving in Your Calling to Align with Your God-Given Purpose Watch it now: https://catherinetoon.com/pypmasterclass/ Resources to Bless You: * "Marked by Love, Revised & Expanded Edition" (#1 Best Seller!): https://bit.ly/3UGeJBI * Get God, Male & Female? on Audible: https://amzn.to/49hzCIM * FREE “How to Hear God” eBook: https://bit.ly/3cTNb49 * FREE Chapter from Marked by Love: https://markedbylovebook.com/free-chapter/ * Explore more resources: https://catherinetoon.com Your support changes lives!

CONTENT Alert: Explicit talk about sex. What are churches saying about robust, spirit-led erotic love and sexual flourishing? (If they talk about it at all.) Beyond talk of sexual purity versus fornication or enforcing heteronormativity versus embracing queerness, Queer/Liberative theologian Jon Carl Lewis opens the door to grander conversations to be had about the complexity of human sexuality—including what a Christ-centered sexual ethic looks like, how the integration of the spirit AND the body can lead to a more fully realized divine connection, and why these concepts matter not only to queer Christians but to all Christians who desire to live a life more aligned with the divine. John Carl Lewis describes himself as “your average queer, liberative theologian and spiritual guide.” His work invites” individuals and communities into conversation around how integration of the spiritual and the sexual/erotic can enliven and reconcile people of faith to themselves, the sacred, their communities, and all of creation.” His Substack is called “Ramblints (of a Queer, Christian Contemplative) (queerchristianramblings.substack.com).

Disgust is powerful. If our body believes something we ingest is contaminated, we will throw it up before our mind even knows what happened. But is there a good kind of contamination? Teacher and author Bille Hoard makes the case that disgust can make us reject “euconaminants,” too—the people and qualities that can “infect” us with goodness.Billie Hoard is "a trans woman, teacher, author, and something of an Anabaptist radical.” Billie and her brother, psychology professor Paul Hoard, are co-authors of the forthcoming book “Eucontamination: Disgust Theology and the Christian Life” (Cascade Books), a psychological, theological, and sociological exploration of disgust, purity/contamination, and being transformed by what's trueFind Billie's work at billieiswriting.substack.com and connect on IG/Threads @billieiswriting Find your guides at Quoir Academy!

Bible Teacher Amanda Pence wants you to know your hermeneutic—that is, what lens you're looking through when you read the Bible. There is no perfect “plain reading” of scripture. We all interpret our way through this library, written by many people in various times, places, & situations—& bring much of our own context to the page. Amanda tells us her story of how studying the Bible broke her out of what some call the “Biblical Worldview” & led her to a loving, inclusive, understanding of what Christ & the Holy Spirit are up to. Amanda Pence MA is a Bible scholar who graduated with highest honors from Talbot School of Theology (Biola University). She is committed to studying the Bible in context & with a deep commitment to its inspiration, authority, & inerrancy.

Send us a textWhat does it take to rise from hourly employee to respected corporate analyst at a retail giant like Best Buy? Paul Young's remarkable 24-year journey reveals powerful leadership lessons that transcend retail and apply to any organization navigating today's complex business landscape.Born in Jamaica and immigrating to the United States to attend the University of North Carolina, Paul's path to leadership began with a simple but profound observation from an early mentor who recognized that Paul's integrity in personal relationships would translate beautifully to business leadership. This moment of recognition changed everything, setting Paul on a trajectory that would eventually position him as a trusted guide during Best Buy's most challenging periods.When the pandemic devastated supply chains and disrupted retail operations, Paul brought something invaluable to his analytics role – actual store experience and a deep appreciation for human relationships in business. While data-focused colleagues exhausted digital contact methods, Paul understood the powerful connections between salespeople and long-term customers. His approach revealed a cornerstone of his leadership philosophy: complete transparency. "Just tell the truth," he emphasizes. "I don't care how bad things are."The conversation takes fascinating turns as Paul reveals his methodology for training new employees and implementing organizational change. Rather than using cookie-cutter approaches, he treats each person as unique, studying what motivates them individually. "You have to be a pseudo-psychologist," he notes, explaining how he gets people talking and then listens actively to understand their perspectives and concerns.Perhaps most powerfully, Paul reflects on the value of occasionally pausing to evaluate one's professional journey. After decades of "tunnel vision" moving from project to project, his recent self-reflection allowed him to see the path he created and recognize the value of his accumulated wisdom. For anyone feeling stuck in day-to-day work without seeing their broader trajectory, this conversation offers a compelling reason to step back and take inventory of your journey.Ready to transform your approach to leadership? Listen now and discover why human connection remains the ultimate competitive advantage in business.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Formerly the frontman of the short-lived bands Kat Kool & the Kool Cats, Streetband and Q-Tips, he began his solo success in the 1980s. His hit singles include "Love of the Common People, 'Wherever I Lay My Hat," "Come Back and Stay," "Every Time You Go Away," and 'Everything Must Change, all reaching the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. Released in 1983, his debut album, No Parlez was the first of three UK number one albums. His smooth yet soulful voice belongs to a genre known as "blue-eyed soul." He won a Brit Award for Best British Male in 1985, and his hit "Every Time You Go Away" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and also won Best British Video at the 1986 Brit Awards. He performed on the 1984 charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas," which included singing the opening lines, and played Live Aid held at Wembley Stadium in London in July 1985. Since the mid-1990s, Young has performed with the band Los Pacaminos.
Paul Young has carried on a deceptively diverse solo career since he first broke out in 1983. He's had many big hits - especially the #1 "Everytime You Go Away - but his work has never fit nicely in one box. Whether it's his work with Pino Palladino or his TexMex band, he does what he wants and his talent carries him through. He's about to embark on a UK tour singing and telling stories about his first two albums. And this summer he's touring the US with Rick Springfield. And he put out a new album in 2023. He's been busy! He joins us this week to discuss all of it including his recent marriage, Band-Aid, his early punk days and a ton more. He's a total pro and one of the great soul singers of the era.
