Podcasts about seven steps

April 25, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 3 - 6:30PM Session   Has God Said…? - Mike Vestal   The lecture by Mike Vestal examines the nature of sin and Satan's strategy in Genesis 3, framing humanity's fall as “Paradise Lost in Seven Steps.” Sin is portrayed not as a trivial act (like eating fruit) but as a grave offense against God—idolatry, rebellion, and distorted love. The seven steps of Satan's strategy are outlined: surprise, craftiness, speaking to relate, questioning to create doubt, deceiving and contradicting God, enticing with alluring promises, and finally ensnaring and enslaving humanity. In contrast, the latter half presents God's superior, pre-ordained plan of salvation through Jesus Christ, which counters each tactic. God's plan is straightforward and centers on the Word becoming flesh to invite and liberate rather than deceive and enslave. The lecture concludes by underscoring the seriousness of sin and the glory of God's redemptive plan, which enables a right relationship with Him through correct belief, practice, and heart affection.   Duration 30:24  

Most real estate investors never reach financial freedom. Not because they lack hustle. Not because they miss deals. They fail because they never build a real long-term strategy. In this episode, Brian sits down with Joel Kraut, a real estate investor with over 30 years of experience. Joel has flipped more than 100 homes, built rental portfolios across multiple states, operated through the 2008 crash, and rebuilt after losing $4.2M during the financial crisis. Today, he shares the framework behind his book Seven Steps to Financial Freedom and explains how investors can build portfolios that survive volatility and compound over time. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How Joel accidentally discovered the BRRRR method in the 1990s The biggest differences between real estate investing then vs. now Why today's financing options are more flexible than ever Where the BRRRR strategy still works in 2026 Why most investors fail because they treat real estate like transactions instead of a business How to build a team before you scale The importance of slowing down and creating a real financial foundation Why boring deals often outperform "home run" swings How Joel recovered after losing $4.2M in the 2008 crash The mindset required to survive big financial swings Why financial freedom is really about time freedom Joel also shares why new investors should focus on simple, structured deals instead of risky, high-leverage bets—and how discipline beats hype every time. About Joel Kraut Joel Kraut is a real estate investor, author, and operator with over 30 years of experience. He has flipped more than 100 homes, built rental portfolios across multiple states, and financed projects nationwide through his lending platform. After navigating multiple market cycles—including the 2008 crash—Joel now focuses on helping investors build sustainable, long-term strategies rather than chasing short-term wins.

Trust isn't a soft skill. It's a discipline.In this powerful conversation, Charles Good sits down with Dr. Dennis Reina and Dr. Michelle Reina, the pioneers of behavioral trust research and authors of the new masterwork The Art of Trust Building, to break down what trust really is, how it's built, how it breaks, and how leaders can rebuild it stronger than before.For over three decades, the Reinas have shown organizations that trust is not a personality trait or a poster value. It is a set of specific, observable, measurable behaviors and that means it can be coached, scaled, and transformed at every level of leadership.In an era of hybrid work, accelerating AI integration, and constant organizational change, the informal proximity-based trust-building of the past no longer works. Leaders today must build trust intentionally, one behavior at a time. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN✔ Why 90% of trust breaks are subtle, unintentional — and avoidable✔ The Three Dimensions of Trust®: Character, Communication, and Capability✔ How to measure trust in your team — and what shocks leaders when they see the data✔ The everyday habits that quietly erode Trust of Character✔ Why most leaders overestimate their own communication transparency✔ How over-control and "rescuing" signal capability distrust✔ Self-trust: the overlooked foundation of every trustworthy leader✔ The Seven Steps for Healing® — the path from breach to repair✔ How small ripple-effect behaviors cascade through entire organizations✔ Why trust is the currency that powers change — especially in the AI era✔ The role of specific, grounded gratitude as a trust-building practice✔ The one daily question every leader should ask themselves tonightIf you lead people, at any level, this conversation will reframe what leadership actually requires.ABOUT THE GUESTSDr. Dennis Reina & Dr. Michelle ReinaCo-founders of Reina Trust Building® and authors of the foundational Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace (1999) and the newly released The Art of Trust Building. Their research has shaped how Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and global organizations understand and operationalize trust. They are the creators of the Reina Trust and Betrayal Model®, the Three Dimensions of Trust®, the Reina Team Trust Scale®, and the Reina Individual Trust Scale®, the most widely used behavioral trust assessments in the world.MEMORABLE QUOTES"Trust is not soft. It is hard and essential.""Trust is an energy field, you can feel it.""Transparency and honesty are the foundation.""Trust is the currency that powers change."

In this episode we continue our conversation with Emielyn Das and Harrison Lewis about their new musical: Seven Steps Around the Fire. Seven Steps Around the Fire follows a young Indian-American woman who must interpret visions of her past seven lifetimes as her queer relationship is threatened by the cultural expectation of arranged marriage. When she unearths secrets surrounding her mother's own identity, she must make the impossible choice between her family and breaking free from the endless karmic cycle holding her down. Featuring a contemporary folk/pop score fused with the sounds of Indian Classical Music, Seven Steps Around the Fire explores Hinduism through the lens of sexuality, asking the timeless question: what will we sacrifice in the name of love?

✨ Have you ever known what God was asking you to do… but fear kept holding you back? In this powerful Healing Rain conversation, I had the joy of sitting down with Ann White, author of Courage For Life. Her story is a beautiful, honest journey of how God led her from fear into freedom—one step of faith at a time. Ann shares how she learned to make decisions rooted in faith instead of fear, and how God brought deep restoration to the broken places of her life. Her message is for anyone walking through change, grief, difficult relationships, or stepping into a new calling. What makes this so impactful are the Seven Steps to Courage—practical, Scripture-based principles that help you:
✨ Heal emotional wounds
✨ Hear God's voice clearly
✨ Walk in obedience with confidence
✨ Step into the life God created for you Ann's heart is simple and powerful: courage is available to everyone—but it's found in relationship with Jesus. No matter what you're facing today, you don't have to stay stuck in fear. God is inviting you into a life of courage, healing, and hope. Don't miss this inspiring Healing Rain interview—it may be the encouragement you've been praying for.

Whenever a trust owns assets intended to be addressed as part of an estate plan the loan accounts and unpaid present entitlements are critical aspects to be considered. The issues in this regard are almost always magnified when any form of asset revaluation is undertaken, particularly when the second order consequences of the wider estate plan are ignored. This practically focused webinar will explore the key issues for advisers to be aware of in relation to asset revaluation reserves (ARRs), including:  How to create an ARR   What the trust deed must provide to allow a valid ARR   What other documentation is required to implement an ARR  Consideration of the key revenue and trust law risks with ARRs  Exploration of leading ARR decisions and case study examples For access to more webinars and resources join one (or all) of the View Communities.

In this deeply reflective conversation, Raj Sisodia and Nalima Bhat explore why even the smartest, most successful leaders can suddenly find themselves stuck, hitting an invisible ceiling that strategy, coaching, or performance optimization alone cannot break. Drawing from their new book, Healing Leaders: A Manual for Life and Leadership Recovery, they make the case that leadership development without inner healing is fundamentally incomplete.To see the full video podcast, check out the Conscious Capitalists YouTube channel hereTogether, we unpack how unhealed psychological wounds quietly shape decision making, relationships, and organizational culture, often sabotaging leaders at the very height of their success. Raj and Nalima introduce their seven step framework for healing and integration, Know, Love, Be, Choose, Express, Complete, and Heal, guiding leaders on a journey that begins with self awareness and ends with genuine transformation.The conversation moves into the distinction between post traumatic stress and post traumatic growth, and why real growth requires what they describe as going down to the basement of consciousness before rising to the next level of leadership. Nalima shares insights on integrating masculine and feminine energies, elder and child wisdom, and embracing the role of the wise fool of tough love, a leader grounded in both compassion and truth.At its core, this episode challenges the idea that leadership is only about external results. As Raj puts it, you cannot have a healing organization with a leader who is not healed. The more leaders do their own inner work, the more they create cultures that foster trust, psychological safety, and collective flourishing.This is not just a conversation about business or leadership performance.

I once heard a woman say that when her son was diagnosed with cancer, she knew she had to be impeccable with her self-care so she could show up as her best self. She needed to ensure her diet, sleep, and exercise fueled her with the bandwidth she needed. The state of the world is...a lot. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious, and that's why I've decided to make self-care the focus of the next few months. To help you come up with some practices that will give you the bandwidth you need. Self-care is one of the pillars of my life. I've learned that if I don't make it a habit, I tend to run myself into the ground. In the next few months, I'm going to go into detail about my self-care practices from skincare to diet/supplements to movement to time with friends, and hopefully you can pick up some nuggets and craft some self-care rituals of your own. In this episode I talk about the seven steps that I use to ensure I feel loved and nurtured and keep my skin glowing!Next Episodes Feb 12, 2026: [SELF-CARE] Products for Glowing Skin for Women Over Forty Feb 19, 2026: [SELF-CARE] How to Think About the Steps of Your Skincare Ritual Feb 26, 2026: [SELF-CARE] My AM Skin RitualResources: -Easy ways to call your reps with scripts and numbers.

Key Topics Covered:1. Why BRR MattersMost investors run out of cash before they run out of ambition.BRR is not just a “strategy”—it's a way to keep growing your portfolio with limited resources.Works for residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties.2. The Seven Steps to BRR SuccessTarget properties others avoid (those with problems lenders won't touch).Calculate your offer: future value minus costs and a 20% margin.Make fair offers—don't be afraid to go below asking price.Expect and embrace rejection; it's part of the process.Follow up with rejected offers—motivation changes over time.Secure finance, fix the property, and add value.Refinance at the new value to pull out as much cash as possible.3. Creative Financing & Bridging LoansBridging finance lets you buy and refurb properties that need work, even if you don't have all the cash upfront.Build the cost of bridging into your deal—if the numbers work, it's worth it.Always take longer terms than you think you'll need to avoid penalties.4. Avoiding Common MistakesDon't get attached to asking prices; base your offers on solid calculations.Provide clear evidence of tangible improvements to valuers for successful refinancing.Plan for potential overruns and down valuations.5. Market Insights & MindsetDespite higher interest rates and tougher legislation, rents have risen and BRR still works if you buy right.The property market is seeing a “changing of the guard”—new investors are entering as older landlords exit.Success comes from thinking differently and being willing to do what others won't.6. Advanced Tactics: Delayed Completion & Ninja Investors“Exchange with delayed completion” lets you refurb before you own, sometimes pulling your cash out on day one.Ninja investors operate under the radar, focusing on creative deals and properties most ignore.Actionable TakeawaysFocus on properties with problems you know how to solve.Always run your own numbers and stick to fair, calculated offers.Use creative finance and networking to keep growing—even when cash is tight.Embrace rejection and follow up—motivation changes.Learn from experienced mentors and surround yourself with like-minded investors.Resources & Next Steps:Buy, Refurb, Refinance - Guides, workshops, and advanced trainingProperty Chats free networking events — no speakers, no pitches, just real conversationsWealthBuilders Membership: Free access to guides, webinars, and communityDownload our FREE Pensions and Inheritance Tax GuideConnect with Us:Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms. Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey:  Join the WealthBuilders Facebook CommunitySchedule a 1:1 call with one of our teamBecome a member of WealthBuildersIf you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!

Ever had something small go wrong and suddenly you're spiraling into insecurity, shame, or old stories you thought you were done with? Yeah… me too. Today I share a simple moment in my kitchen that unexpectedly poked an old wound and sent me into a whole internal narrative about not being good enough.But this episode isn't really about caulking a backsplash.It's about the lies men believe, the wounds we carry into adulthood, and why healing matters way more than we think.In this episode we talk about:• How tiny moments trigger big wounds• Why our brains write stories we never chose• How men often cope through numbing, distancing, or performing• What “intimacy disorder” really means• How Jesus meets us in our pain and speaks truth• Why healed men become better husbands, fathers, and friends• Why your healing is never just for you—it's for the missionWe also finish Step 7 of the Seven Steps of Discipleship:pouring your life into someone else.From Genesis to Jesus' final words, God has always called men to expand His kingdom, not retreat into self-protection.Strong families begin with healed men.Strong men begin by telling the truth.And healed men are sent men.Download the free 7 Steps of Discipleship PDF: dadtired.com/7stepsJoin us at the Dadology Conference (San Diego): dadtired.com/dadologyPartner with Dad Tired as we close out the year: dadtired.com/donateRite of Passage Alaska Trip (for dads + teenage sons) — limited spots Host a One-Day Dad Tired Conference at your church: dadtired.com/conferenceToday's Sponsor: One Year Bible

The Department of War is using the military as the lead change agent for the nation for a fast track Ai integration. Following the announcement yesterday by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth of the introduction of Google Gemini Ai into the warfighters operations, today that integration and use became mandatory. Ai is the foundation of forcing humanity into the a transhumanist synthetic evolution. It is not of GOD, and it is intended to severe the spiritual link to GOD. We are now in the next level of the spiritual war. Choose whom you will serve and choose wisely.

2026 Planning: Setting Up Your School for a Strong New Year Podcast Description In this episode, Duane Brumitt and Allie Alberigo dig into how martial arts school owners can close out 2025 strong and set themselves up for a stellar 2026. They reflect on this past year's unique challenges—from shifting parent and student behaviors to the realities of running a personality-driven business—and share real talk on what worked, what flopped, and what every school owner should focus on as the new year approaches. Expect honest stories, actionable frameworks, and practical steps you can use right now to plan for growth, retention, and sanity in 2026. Key Takeaways 2025 Was Unique: Owners everywhere felt the impact of cultural shifts, last-minute signups, and changing family priorities. What worked last year might not work now. Year in Review Matters: Sit down with your staff to review wins, flops, and lessons. Honest feedback is gold. Retention Over Enrollment: Enrollment is important, but retention is the real driver. Invest in personal connections, customer service, and systems to keep students engaged. Set Real Goals: Pick 1-2 core 2026 goals (enrollment, retention, revenue, staff dev). Break them down and track them monthly and quarterly. First Quarter Planning: Map out January–March for tuition, retail, and events. Don't just wish—make a plan and communicate it clearly to your team. Systems & Simplicity: Review your automations, teaching, and processes. Use the “rule of three” to simplify and avoid overwhelming families (and staff). Stop Doing List: Write out what drains your energy or isn't working. Delegate, delete, or redesign those tasks. Ask your staff for their input, too. Community & Accountability: Engage with other school owners (like in the School Owner Talk FB group) to share plans, get feedback, and stay motivated. Action Steps for School Owners Year in Review: Meet with your team to discuss what worked, what didn't, and what to change for 2026. Set 1–2 Core Goals: Enrollment, retention, revenue, or staff development—pick what matters most for your school. Quarterly Planning: Break down your goals by month and quarter for tuition, events, and retail. Make a clear action plan. Simplify Systems: Audit automations and teaching methods. Apply the rule of three wherever possible. Create a Stop Doing List: Identify and eliminate (or delegate) tasks that eat up energy or don't move the needle. Team Buy-In: Communicate your plan to staff, get their feedback, and adjust where needed. Engage Your Community: Share your goals in the Facebook group and connect with other owners for accountability and ideas.

You can have a good life — not an easy life, but one filled with deep peace and joy that circumstances can't shake. In this episode, Jerrad unpacks Step 4 of the Seven Steps of Discipleship: Forming Spiritual Habits — a conversation about how men grow through intentional, daily rhythms that train the soul for godliness.Jerrad shares how his own healing journey began with one powerful declaration: “I'm a truth teller.” That single identity statement became the foundation for transformation. From there, he talks about how building small, consistent habits — rooted in who you're becoming, not just what you're doing — can reshape your entire life.Through stories, scripture, and real talk, this episode will help you:Understand why identity always comes before habitsRecognize that you're already a man of habits — they just need redirectingLearn how to start small and stay consistent (even when motivation fades)Discover how godly habits train you to live with deep joy and peace, regardless of circumstanceLater in the episode, Jerrad is joined by Kaleb Allen, one of the most disciplined men he knows, to talk about practical spiritual disciplines — from Bible reading and prayer to solitude, gratitude, and Sabbath — and how these rhythms keep your soul grounded when life gets chaotic.If you've ever felt stuck, inconsistent, or spiritually dry, this episode is your invitation to start building a life you're proud of — one small habit at a time.

We return with old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR, and radio suspense for a pre-Thanksgiving vigil, my dear—where family tables creak, footsteps count down to doom, and a song in the parlor hushes murderous hearts. Tonight's reliquary opens to four chillers, a clutch of shadows to keep the knives honest and the lights low.

What if the reason you keep reacting, withdrawing, or losing patience isn't about your present—but your past?In this episode, Jerrad unpacks Step 3 of the Seven Steps of Discipleship: Addressing Past Wounds—a practical and gospel-centered conversation about facing the pain we've carried instead of burying it. With honesty and compassion, he walks men through why ignoring our wounds doesn't make them disappear; it just makes them leak into our marriage, our parenting, and our leadership.Through biblical truth, personal story, and real-world guidance, Jerrad helps you see that this step isn't about fixing yourself—it's about inviting God into the places you've avoided for too long.With a mix of vulnerability and hope, this episode will help you:Recognize how unhealed wounds shape your reactions and relationshipsConnect the dots between your pain and the lies you believeLearn a simple 4-part process for addressing wounds (Scripture, Naming, Writing, Sharing)Discover how to speak gospel truth to yourselfTake the first step toward becoming a healed man who leads a healthy familyWhether you've minimized your pain, masked it with work, or felt like your story doesn't matter, this episode is a reminder that strong families begin with healed men—and healing starts when you face what's been buried.Prayer:“Father, reveal the wounds I've tried to hide. Give me courage to bring them into the light, and remind me that Your grace is big enough to heal every part of my story.”Scriptures Mentioned:Psalm 34:18James 5:16John 8:32Isaiah 61:12 Corinthians 12:9Resources & Links:

Visit http://ryzehealth.com/BootstrapMD today and see how simple running your practice can be. ______________ How do you attract more patients—without spending a fortune on ads or hiring a marketing agency? In this episode of BootstrapMD, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming demystifies the concept of marketing funnels and reveals how any doctor can build a simple, trust-based system to bring in patients organically. Whether you're running a cash-based practice, launching a telemedicine brand, or just starting out, Dr. Woo-Ming shares a step-by-step process that turns awareness into engagement—and engagement into conversion. He begins by redefining the "funnel" not as a piece of software, but as a relationship journey—a path that guides potential patients from discovery to booking. Using his signature mix of practical teaching and relatable analogies, Dr. Woo-Ming explains how building an organic funnel is simply about building trust before the sale. He  listed seven-step framework for creating an organic funnel: Understand the Funnel Journey, Start with One Irresistible Offer, Create a Value Magnet (Not Just a Lead Magnet), Build the Trust Loop, Add a Clear Conversion Path, Promote Organically, Measure and Refine  Through these seven steps, physicians learn how to stop chasing patients and start creating systems that attract and nurture them naturally. Dr. Woo-Ming emphasizes that effective funnels don't rely on complicated tech—they rely on empathy, clarity, and consistent follow-up. He wraps up by reminding listeners that they don't need a big budget, marketing degree, or social media fame to grow. What they truly need is a repeatable system that builds trust and invites action—one small step at a time. Whether you're a physician tired of depending on word-of-mouth referrals or a healthcare entrepreneur ready to scale your practice, this episode gives you the tools, mindset, and motivation to start attracting more patients organically today. Three Actionable Takeaways: Simplify Your Offer: Focus on One Clear Transformation:One of the biggest mistakes physicians make in marketing is trying to promote every service at once—weight loss, hormone therapy, aesthetics, telemedicine, and more. But as Dr. Woo-Ming explains, "a confused mind never buys." When your messaging is scattered, your patients don't know what to focus on—and they leave before taking action.  Build Relationships Before Revenue: Trust Comes Before Transactions: Funnels aren't just about automation—they're about authentic connection. Patients today are looking for more than quick fixes; they want to know who you are, what you believe in, and whether they can trust you with their health. Track and Tweak Consistently: Measure What Matters: In marketing—and in medicine—what gets measured gets improved.

Most salespeople waste their careers fighting over the same crowded prospects. Meanwhile, untapped markets are sitting in plain sight. These are the industries, segments, and territories your competitors don't take seriously—or don't even notice. They're wide open, and they reward the salespeople willing to do the work. On the Sales Gravy Podcast, I spoke with Nicholas Lalla, an economic development expert who helped bring more than $200 million of investment into a market everyone else had written off. His blueprint for revitalizing a forgotten city is the same framework you can use to uncover and dominate untapped markets in sales. Why Untapped Markets Are Goldmines The best markets are often the ones no one is talking about. When the crowd decides a territory is “too small,” “too tough,” or “not worth the time,” they leave the door wide open. That's where the opportunity lives. And let's be clear: An untapped market doesn't have to mean a new zip code. It could be a niche industry your competitors dismiss, a customer population they ignore, or a vertical nobody's paying attention to yet. If you don't know much about a market, chances are your competitors don't either. That ignorance is your advantage—if you're willing to dig in. The Data-Driven Discovery Method Most salespeople gamble on gut instinct when picking new markets. That's why they waste time chasing “big name” logos that never buy, or avoiding prospects who look difficult but actually have massive potential. Top performers take a different path. They go where the data points. Before committing to a market, study the numbers your competition ignores: Industry growth rates – Expanding sectors often fly under the radar. Investment flows – Follow where capital is going before sales catch up. Labor market trends – Job growth exposes emerging business needs. Government spending – Public dollars usually spark private demand. Data doesn't close deals. But it stacks the odds in your favor and ensures you're hunting where opportunity actually exists. The 100-Conversation Rule Numbers tell you where to look. Conversations tell you what's real. Don't just study demographics—talk to 100 people tied to the market. Customers. Ex-customers. Prospects who should buy from you but don't. Even suppliers and partners. Ask them about their challenges, their frustrations, and the gaps they see. Don't pitch—listen. By the time you've had 100 conversations, you'll know more about that market than your competitors ever will. And you'll have built a network of early relationships that pay off down the line. Look for Adjacent Opportunities The breakthrough comes when you stop looking for completely new industries and start examining adjacencies. Instead of jumping into foreign markets, identify prospects that connect to your existing expertise. If you sell to manufacturing, explore adjacent industries like logistics or supply chain management. If you work in healthcare, consider medical device companies or pharmaceutical services. Adjacent markets let you leverage existing knowledge while expanding into less competitive territory. The Focus Formula  Most market expansion strategies fall apart because of a lack of focus. Salespeople chase every shiny opportunity and end up spread too thin. The result? Lots of motion, zero momentum. Domination beats diversification. Pick three or four high-potential segments and go all-in. Pour your time, energy, and relationship capital into saturating those markets. That density builds brand recognition, referrals, and trust. Scattershot prospecting creates exhaustion. Focused prospecting creates dominance. Building on Legacy Assets: The Hidden Accelerator Don't ignore what already exists—leverage it. The most counterintuitive insight about untapped markets is that the best ones build on foundations you already have. Your "legacy assets" might include: Current customer relationships that could expand into new product lines or referrals to adjacent industries. Industry expertise that applies to related markets you haven't considered. Existing partnerships that could introduce you to unexplored segments. Geographic knowledge that gives you advantages in nearby territories. Technical skills that solve problems in unexpected industries. Stop looking for completely greenfield opportunities. Start asking: "What do I already know that could apply somewhere else?" The fastest path to market penetration often builds on existing strengths rather than starting from scratch. The Ecosystem Approach to Market Development Most reps make the mistake of focusing only on decision-makers. But ecosystems drive markets, not individuals. The service tech fixing machines knows which plants are expanding. The HR manager sees where budgets are growing. The facilities lead knows who's signing leases. When you build relationships beyond decision-makers, entire communities can support your expansion. The Long-Term Vision That Drives Short-Term Action This is the part most salespeople hate: Building market presence takes patience. It's a long-term play, not a quick win. But here's the paradox: when you stop expecting overnight wins, the wins come faster. That's because you start making the right investments—building relationships, educating buyers, and sticking with markets that others abandon too soon. Compounding effort always beats chasing quick hits. Turn Market Intelligence Into Sales Gold Untapped markets aren't about chasing “new.” They're about being first. Getting in early. Building relationships before anyone else does.  Start with your own blank slate analysis. What markets do you dismiss without investigation? What adjacencies exist around your current success? Where could you concentrate effort instead of spreading it thin? Your untapped territory is waiting for someone smart enough to find it. Stop fighting for scraps in oversaturated markets and start building your own $200 million opportunity. Want to turn your new market insights into a prospecting machine?

Today we're going on an aquatic journey with Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage. Herbie calls the title track the best tune he's ever written.  We dive deep into the music to explore what makes this tune, and this album, great. The roots of Maiden Voyage date back in 1963, when Herbie began hearing rumors that Miles Davis wanted to hear him play. He didn't believe it at first -- Miles was at the height of his celebrity by this point. But soon he got a call. He went over to Miles's house and played with him, George Coleman, Tony Williams and Ron Carter for three days. On the third day, Miles asks the group to come to studio to record Seven Steps to Heaven. Herbie says, "Does that mean I'm in the band?" Miles says, "You're making the record, mother f**cker!" After two years playing in what many call the one of the greatest jazz ensembles of all time, Herbie would release Maiden Voyage in 1965. Along with George, Tony and Ron, plus saxophonist Freddie Hubbard. Although it is one of his simplest tunes -- with a rhythm inspired by a cologne commercial -- Maiden Voyage would become a favorite and a standard among jazz musicians. In this episode, you'll hear:- Adam and Peter pick apart the greatest moments from the album, including some perfect solos- The story of the commercial roots of this jazz standard- Where the record got its aquatic theme- Why a great song starts with a great bassline (just ask Ron Carter)- How this record could have been even better ... if it weren't for that piano sound- Where we land on Van Gelder Sound controversy-----Keyboards?
