Episode 76: Jerrod "J-Rod" Sullivan. If you're a drummer, chances are you've seen J-Rod pop up in your feed. He's one of the most exciting drummers to watch, and now he's holding down the drum chair for Janet Jackson. From uploading his first drum video to YouTube back in 2006 to building an audience of over 700,000 followers, J-Rod is living proof that consistency and passion pay off. We get into everything from his early days playing in church to building an online community of over 700K+ followers with his drum videos and how he creates them. We talk about staying consistent while on the road, and why authenticity is everything. Plus, we go deep into the Janet Jackson gig, talking about how it came together from a DM and the sacrifice he took dedicating 2 months to turn this Janet Jackson opportunity into a closed deal. I had to find out how in the world he plays the infamous “Control” drum fill, his gear setups, how he makes his social media videos (both the cameras, the audio, and the process), creating drumless tracks with the Moises app, his band The 4 Korners, staying sharp, and why it pays to act as if you already got the gig. J-Rod came through to my hotel room in Las Vegas to link up the next day after his show with Janet Jackson. I went to the show and it was incredible. After the show, we went out with Zedd until 5 a.m., and the next morning he went straight to AMA rehearsals with Janet, then soundcheck at Resorts World with Janet, then to my hotel room to do the interview, and then straight to his show with Janet that night. We were running on fumes for this convo, which made it fun in it's own way. We dive into his story, his viral rise, how he landed the Janet gig, and so much more.

Agile in Hardware: Bringing Agile to Hardware Development – Insights from Microsoft, Apple, and More With John Collins   In this agile in hardware episode, John Collins dives deep into the practicalities, challenges, and rewards of integrating Agile methodologies in hardware engineering, drawing from his extensive experience at companies like Microsoft, Apple, and FlixBus. Collins offers actionable advice on adapting Agile frameworks to hardware environments, covering everything from psychological safety to coordinating across diverse teams with different goals and development cadences. For anyone looking to understand the nuances of Agile in a hardware setting, this episode is full of valuable insights.   Starting Out with Agile in Hardware Engineering   “When you're in a leadership role, it's not just about the process – it's about creating an environment of safety where teams feel empowered to take risks and try new approaches.”   John Collins shares how he first started implementing Agile principles in hardware engineering, despite the challenges posed by larger organizations like Apple and Microsoft. He discusses the importance of psychological safety as a foundation for Agile success and reflects on the training needed to foster an Agile mindset among engineers used to traditional, linear development approaches.   “The Agile journey starts by influencing teams and creating an environment where everyone feels secure and motivated to try new things.”   Crafting an Agile Framework for Hardware   “Aligning software and hardware development isn't about making them the same; it's about finding the right synchronization points and respecting each team's unique process.”   John explains his approach to choosing and adapting Agile frameworks for his teams, describing how he brought software and hardware workflows into alignment through careful planning and OKRs. He shares tips on setting frameworks like SAFe, Scrum, or custom Agile processes, ensuring that hardware and software teams coordinate effectively without stifling autonomy.   “Using shared goals like OKRs helps both hardware and software teams work together without losing their individual strengths.”   Key Differences Between Agile in Software and Hardware   “In hardware, there are fixed constraints and build cycles dictated by suppliers and physical limitations – Agile can adapt, but it takes patience.”   In this segment, John highlights the key differences in Agile application between software and hardware teams. He explains why skepticism can be a healthy part of the process, and how roles like the Agile coach help teams embrace new methodologies. John also emphasizes the importance of matching Agile coaches to team dynamics to ensure effective adoption.   “Every Agile coach and team is unique – finding the right match is essential to making Agile work in hardware.” Overcoming Challenges in Agile Hardware Development   “Hardware requires a structured approach with build schedules and physical constraints, which makes Agile's flexibility more challenging to implement.”   John dives into the unique challenges of implementing Agile in hardware, especially around the rigidity of build cycles and long testing periods. He shares strategies for mitigating these constraints, like prioritizing issues by risk impact and using statistical models to allocate resources for destructive testing.

On this episode of Chats and Tatts, host Aaron Della Vedova sits down with tattoo artist Joao Bosco for a deep conversation that goes beyond tattoos. They discuss life, spirituality, karma, and the effects of AI.    Life events and challenges are often disguised blessings that lead to personal development and growth. In a podcast episode, Joao Bosco shares his inspiring journey of relocating from Brazil to London to pursue a career in tattooing.

Today's episode is a new interview with Michael Judd, recorded by Mary Marshall and Andrew Tuttle, of Edge Perma. During this conversation, Michael shares a quick sketch of his background for listeners who aren't familiar with him and his work, including time at the Bullock's Permaculture Homestead Brother's Farm on Orcas Island in Washington State. Michael then leads us through how he came to his permaculture career and how suggestions on how he makes it work for him and his family, from his early days as an edible landscaper and designer to his current role as a nurseryman, educator, and an event planner focusing on regenerative systems and education. Throughout, he shares stories and personal anecdotes as only he can. Ten years ago, in 2014, I traveled from my home in Pennsylvania and journeyed down to Michael's family home and homestead to record my first in-person interview, ever, with him, meeting his wife, and his son Wyatt, who was still a babe in arms at the time. Since then, we've recorded multiple interviews together, he was a keynote speaker at the Mid-Atlantic Permaculture Convergence, and I've attended his Paw Paw festival. Throughout this decade knowing Michael, personally and professionally, what I've always loved is his ability to take what he knows, examine where his life is at the moment, decides where he wants to go, and pivots in that direction. However he changes his life he does that with intent, while remaining rooted in his mindset as a permaculture practitioner and the lessons he learned during his time in Nicaragua with Project Bona Fide. If you're working on the next steps of your journey, I highly recommend listening to Michael's earlier conversations with me and hear more about his journey. You'll find numerous useful insights that connect to the ones he shared today, that you can apply to your journey, wherever you want to go.

In this inspiring episode of RightOffTrack, join host Anya Smith and seasoned journalist Debra Wallace as we explore the intersection of entrepreneurship and advocacy. Debra shares her extensive experience, having interviewed legends like Ryan Seacrest and Steven Spielberg, and delves into how entrepreneurial skills can drive change and promote inclusion, particularly for those with autism. We'll uncover broad lessons on overcoming challenges and redefining success that every entrepreneur can apply to their journey. Whether you're an established business owner or just starting out, this episode offers actionable insights into using your platform for advocacy and making a meaningful impact. Join us as we navigate the delicate balance of professional growth and personal purpose in a conversation that's both enlightening and profoundly motivating. Takeaways Being a fierce advocate is essential for driving change and fostering inclusion. Overcoming underestimation is a common challenge for entrepreneurs and individuals pursuing unconventional paths. Defining success as giving your all and embracing every step is more important than achieving specific results. Finding control and balance involves accepting what you can't control and focusing on your own efforts and reactions. The power of connection and building community is crucial for personal and professional growth. Authenticity is key to making an impact and growing a media presence. Starting out in media requires realistic expectations and a focus on building relationships and credibility. Handling writer's block involves pushing through and finding alternative ways to stay productive. Going off track can lead to unexpected opportunities and growth.   Chapters: 00:00 Preview 01:17 Introduction and Debra's Background 04:32 Being a Fierce Advocate 05:27 Overcoming Underestimation 11:27 Defining Success 12:25 Finding Control and Balance 19:12 Engaging in Meaningful Causes 24:55 Embracing Every Step 26:55 Authenticity and Impact 32:53 Building Community and Pivoting 34:20 Starting Out in Media 41:00 The Power of Connection 45:25 Favorite Story Covered 46:33 Handling Writer's Block 48:51 Going Off Track Is 50:12 Conclusion
