“The average enterprise has over 360 applications running in the cloud today,” Boomi Chairman and CEO Steve Lucas notes to Bloomberg Intelligence senior technology analyst Anurag Rana. “Then, on top of that, the average enterprise is dealing with anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 difference sources of data.” In this episode of Tech Disruptors, the two take a deep dive into the complexities that frequently require integration platforms such as Boomi. Additionally, Lucas explains the differences between Boomi and its competitors, how agentic AI is creating opportunities for the market and what becomes of software-as-a-service (SaaS) at the end of the day.

What happens when AI agents begin to outnumber humans? In this episode of The Tech Talks Daily Podcast, I sit down with Steve Lucas, CEO of Boomi, to explore this thought-provoking prediction and what it means for businesses, the workforce, and society. With extensive experience leading companies through transformative journeys, Steve brings invaluable insights into how organizations can prepare for a future dominated by AI. Steve delves into the concept of the “AI big bang,” where AI agents are set to fundamentally reshape workforce dynamics and decision-making processes. He highlights how these agents are rapidly evolving, influencing everything from customer service and supply chain management to market analysis. But with this growth comes the pressing need for transparency, explainability, and control. How can businesses avoid being overwhelmed by this AI influx? Steve argues that companies must reimagine work processes and establish robust AI governance frameworks to ensure human oversight and ethical AI deployment. As AI becomes deeply integrated into everyday business functions, Steve outlines the critical role of protocols for future communication. The rapid evolution of technology requires clear frameworks to enable AI agents to interact in ways we can understand and control. He shares how Boomi is addressing this challenge by developing an AI governance platform designed to help organizations manage agent creation, execution, and compliance effectively. Steve also reflects on how business leaders can stay ahead in this rapidly changing landscape. With AI set to revolutionize global learning and knowledge accessibility, continuous learning becomes essential. Drawing on advice from industry leaders, Steve emphasizes the importance of dedicating time to understanding AI technologies and using AI itself for personalized learning experiences. This episode offers a deep look into how AI will shape the future of work, the critical need for governance, and the opportunities and risks that lie ahead. As AI agents become a powerful force in business, how will your organization adapt? Are you ready for the cognitive revolution that's already underway? Let us know your thoughts after the conversation.

Steve Lucas Korn Ferry estimates that by 2030, 80 million high-skilled jobs will go unfilled globally. This means companies will have to compete for talent—more than they already are. Yet, the CEO of ICIMS says there's currently a lack of qualified employers. What does CEO Steve Lucas mean? And, what does he think companies should do to attract high-quality talent?  Steve Lucas joined the VOE Podcast to talk about talent acquisition and retention, and what ICIMS has to offer. With 25 years of leadership experience, Lucas has a strong message for fellow leaders, employees and students: Be curious.  The VOE Podcast is an extension of Voices of Experience, the signature speaker series at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business. Keep tuning in each month for more business insights from Daniels' alumni voices of experience. Transcript: Kristal Griffith: Hello and welcome to the VOE Podcast, Nick Greenhalgh: An extension of Voices of Experience, Lorne Fultonberg: The signature speaker series at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business. Kristal Griffith: We're your hosts, Kristal Griffith, Nick Greenhalgh: Nick Greenhalgh,  Lorne Fultonberg: And I'm Lorne Fultonberg from the Daniels Office of Communications and Marketing. Kristal Griffith: We'll be unpacking topics at the intersection of business and the public good with CEOs and other business leaders from the Daniels community.­ Let's dive in. Joining me today is Steve Lucas, CEO of iCIMS. Steve has extensive leadership experience in companies like Adobe, SAP and Salesforce. Before iCIMS, he was the CEO of Marketo. In his many leadership roles, he's been a great partner to the Daniels College of Business, consistently recruiting our students, providing feedback on curriculum and sponsoring student projects. If you're not familiar with iCIMS, it's a recruiting software, so we look forward to visiting with Steve about his perspectives on the labor crisis. Steve, welcome to the VOE Podcast. Steve Lucas: Oh, thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Kristal Griffith: Let's start with your background. You have more than 25 years of leadership experience with cutting-edge software companies. Tell us about your journey to become the CEO of iCIMS. Steve Lucas: Every time I hear I've got more than 25 years of experience, I'm genuinely terrified. I don't recognize myself anymore. But yes, it's been fantastic, journey-wise. I started my career working for Microsoft and my title, which was a big deal, was demo rep. And so it was kind of the "Let's name the job, exactly what it is. Demo rep." And I demoed the heck out of software, but actually I demonstrated compelling Microsoft titles, like Microsoft Dogs and Encarta, which was a CD-based encyclopedia before the internet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so all these years later, now you're probably thinking, "How is this guy, a CEO." But I've always wanted to be a CEO. And I love software. I feel like I get paid to play baseball. It's just so fun. And for me, I'm a naturally curious per person and anytime I've been thrown into a situation, I've always wanted to understand more than just, "What's my job? How does it work? Why is it this way?" These are just the innate things that well up within me. And it turns out there is a really good job for that. It's called CEO. Kristal Griffith: That's terrific. Steve Lucas: And so my journey's been Microsoft. And then I worked with an amazing company, Crystal, which made Crystal Reports and then Business Objects, Salesforce, SAP. I jumped in as CEO of Marketo back in 2016. And I worked with a private equity firm, Vista Equity Partners, to take Marketo private, which we did for $1.6 billion. My job was to grow the company, improve it, build the software. And Adobe acquired the company 24 months after I started for about $5 billion. So we did a good job in terms of growing the company and returning equity to our shareholders.

You know, it was like, you know, we we've crossed paths, Facebook paths so many times, right. When I spun this up, I was like, you won't point so just you're kind of like a brother, brother from another mother right type of thing. Cuz, like, I think we're the same people. Right. Right. And and and the more we have these conversations, the more we kind of find that that's true. You and I were just talking before this about a mutual, you know, mentor that we found online. Eddie Bryant, right, who's doing who's doing some stuff. And you mentioned I just discovered on the week before, so I was like, this is just, yeah, it's fun. It's fun. And it's funny. So before we even get started, man, so before we even get started, I feel like I feel like we're kind of like, we're conduits for the creative energies forces in the universe, right? Yeah. And we're put together right now on this podcast, to speak to somebody. Right? And somebody needs to hear this, and it needs to come from you. What is it? Unknown Speaker 1:51 Man? Jeremy Snowden 1:52 Okay, so Wow, right on the spot, did you Okay, so I think more than anything else For me if I was if I was looking at the person that needs to hear this you are a human being not a human doing you know there's more to you than you know that you're at then you're aware of and just fully embody yourself No I think that would be a good Brandon Handley 2:24 I love it. I love it man right i mean you're you're you're a human being not a human doing we get so caught up. Gosh, reactivity, right all the activity although RUN RUN, RUN doo doo doo I got to be productive man. If I'm not productive, they're gonna kick me off the team. Jeremy Snowden 2:42 Right? The pressure and the stress? Yeah, Brandon Handley 2:45 yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So I love it. I love it. You're a human being. Unknown Speaker 2:51 And I think the other thing is, Brandon Handley 2:53 knowing yourself right? And when you get into this kind of the spiritual realm and And you're you're getting into all these different involve with all these different groups. Excuse me. And these conversations, the word self can take on a number of connotations, right? Come on, what do you got? So tell me what you know. So, I'll give you an example of something that I saw this morning. And it actually had to do kind of like Maslow's law, right? hierarchy of needs. And when you get to the top there, it's self expression, self actualization. Ah, true. So, I mean, you know, if I asked you what that meant to you to basically that's the pinnacle, self expression, Self Realization, what does that mean? Right? Jeremy Snowden 3:42 Wow, that's deep. For me, I guess it is finding experiences where I can be the observer, so that I can see myself clearly, you know, so depression in a wave of just that one the day that you just don't want to get out of That it just feels like your blanket is concrete, you know? And you can't explain it or anything. And so I have to, I call it father myself or, you know, work within my higher self, if you will. And almost to put my hand on my shoulder, if you will, and say, Hey, I know what you're feeling. Yeah. It's almost like it's two separate people or, you know, like my tradition. It's you know, you're a tripartite three part being spirit soul body, you have a spirit, you know, or I'm sorry, you are spirit you live in, you know, you have a soul you live in a body, you know, and now it seems like it's probably more complex and yet more simple. It's just but at any point, it's just seeing myself in those feelings, I can feel this I'm not those feelings. Right. But I you know, I can resonate with those feelings. Who's the it does that that's me. You know, you talk to yourself. A couple of days ago, I was like, let's have pizza and I was like, Who's let's Brandon Handley 5:06 good idea for us to go get these things together. And that's great though I was just I was just listening to a book this morning actually. It's called mastering your emotions and the exercises in there is is what you just talked about, right? One of those is very powerful exercise you you see you see this observer exercise actually happen a Unknown Speaker 5:26 lot in NLP, right? I'm not Brandon Handley 5:29 sure yet, right. So it's the same thing you you, you You see, first of all, you're already here right? But if you can remove yourself one or two or three times and see that situation just like you said, you know you're in that better fathering yourself. I love that because you know, as a father, you know what that means by you. Put your hand on on your shoulder, and you're going to walk yourself out there with comfort and care and say, Hey, Paul, we got this we got right. And we're gonna go face this, whatever it is. Absolutely. Right. Yeah, love that the concrete blanket man that made me feel I felt it. I felt that corps right. Yeah, man. So, you know, my tradition is what what is your tradition? Because you said my in my tradition, Jeremy Snowden 6:11 right? My historically if you will, first time I make the distinction between religion and spirituality, right. I'm not religious, I'm spiritual. Brandon Handley 6:20 Yeah, show Yeah. Jeremy Snowden 6:21 Right. Yeah. But at the same time, it was, you know, growing up in up drew up in a Christian environment, if you will, okay. And everything was about hierarchies, structures and pecking orders. It just life in general. You know, like, who makes the most money who's the cutest who's the tallest, the smartest, prettiest? Sure. Um, you know, and just that, that linear thinking like that. And so, for me, breaking out of that, I don't know if this is the proper time to talk about that or not, but basically just I was, you know, a very Launch Bible believer in you know, born again Christian you know for quite some time and while I do admire and respect a lot of my, a lot of my time there and of course my friends and my you know who become your, your family that you choose, you know? Sure it's I can see it now and you know having the whole dark night of the soul or nights or months you know. Right So, but in that I can see the need for that as a part of part of my life. So that was my background. Sure. Brandon Handley 7:31 Yeah. It's funny you say that right? Like I'm I'm not religious, but I am spiritual and I think that a lot of people get that confused. I don't have a religion. Yeah. But I am spiritual right because I think that you know, you have a religion you're not you are not religious you have it right. Like, that's your background and your your kind of upbringing and, and, and, you know, the path that you follow, and it's funny that you bring up you know, we we have Eddie Bryan and In common a couple weeks ago like i said i was first I listened to him but you know there's some he talks about Vedanta and Hinduism right and he talks about all the different paths of Hinduism and right in the end he does it sooner or later you just got to bet on one line later just got it you got it you got a bet on one Yeah. Oh it because otherwise you're just always kind of popping around Yeah. And it It's funny how I landed on the just pick one theory or idea and I got that through the science of getting rich Wallace D wattles. Right I've never read that book. I mean, it's it's my all time it's in my top five man it's such a great book. But it's like just follow just read this one book and don't read any don't pay attention to anything else for like until you This is part of your soul, Unknown Speaker 8:54 bro. Brandon Handley 8:56 I'm so sorry to dive down in that right so okay. So you're running the men's group. Let's give a little more background journey man like, I mean, let's let's do this first, I always like to talk about the front end of it, you know, what is it you're doing? Tell us about? Tell us about your tell us about the men's group, right? The hero's journey, men's online discussion circle, right? Like, how did that get started? And what's going on? Jeremy Snowden 9:21 Yeah, so almost two years, well, longer than two years ago, I connected with some guys and some Facebook groups. And I was just blown away to see what the same questions over and over and over again. You know, my wife cheated on me, you know, or my wife left me or my girlfriend, you know, yada, yada. Or we can't give a lot we can never, you know, come to a conclusion on anything or whatever. Right? And so I figured, you know, I'm throwing my opinion in this whole thing, just to see what happens to kind of see where I'm at with my peers. You know, where are we at? You guys don't know me from Adam. I don't know you from Adam. And you. It's almost like my friend of mine, Andy. You might No to he and he's just he just trolls your stuff because he thinks you're cool. You know? We can't is it silly? Brandon Handley 10:07 Yeah, yes. No, he's funny though. So he doesn't get a choice. Great troll. Yeah. Jeremy Snowden 10:12 And he's like, and he's sort of my, my spiritual project, you know, to get him to start walking along that Brandon Handley 10:20 path. Don't go to the dark side. Jeremy Snowden 10:22 Right and he's he's doing everything he can to, you know, push, push it up, push me off it but Anyway, I digress. But he says, You know, I said something about, you know, just try not to read the comments right about now with everything heated up. You read people's comments, and you're just like, oh, but he retorted and said that it's all about the comments. And really, that's that's that's community right there. Yeah, you can actually trace your community within those comments. You know, CS Lewis said it this way, and I'll get off my soapbox. He said, I mean, Brandon Handley 10:55 this is immunity. That's exactly what this is the soapbox, bro. That's why we're here. All right. All right. Jeremy Snowden 11:02 community doesn't happen until someone else says YouTube. Mm hmm. You know, and so I created an online community of people that like, we have the same kind of challenges, you know, a lot of them are still married or, or, you know, some art, you know, and the thing that we do is we use the book as an excuse a friend of mine, Stan, you can you might know him as well. Stan, Michael, he, he wants to talk to me about the law of the third's, it's very similar to this mode to Brandon is like, you know, I have this light ring. I don't know if you have a light rain, but I kind of see that as my vortex. You know, I mean, like, it's, it's almost like, if we were to practice you know, like all of the different magical traditions, if you will, where you could look through water and see spirit on the other side. That's what we're Brandon Handley 11:56 doing. You know, we're ending the evil stepmother and Mirror mirror on the wall. fairest of them all right. I mean, come on somebody that stops everywhere, right? Like, here's the thing, like, here's the thing is what's so great about like this space is like, once you realize you tripped over into it, you're like, Oh, it's everywhere. Everybody's been trying to tell me my entire life. Jeremy Snowden 12:16 Come on. Right? Right on your face, right? Brandon Handley 12:20 Mm hmm. I mean, we'll cliches and you know, stuff. Your parents told you that you said, Nah, shut up. Stop. You're crazy. Don't talk to my friends. Right? It's everywhere. I was I was on the plane, coming back from Denver. And I was watching the Madeline L'Engle movie with Oprah in it. A stitch in time, A Wrinkle in Time, Wrinkle in Time, man. And it was everything you and I are about and I was like, I was taking notes like furious. I was like, oh, brah Oh, Oprah, not again, more Oprah right um, Mirror mirror on the wall. Right, just like yeah, that's the vortex that's looking looking, looking looking. piercing the veil, right? Jeremy Snowden 13:06 Yes. I'm Brandon Handley 13:09 with you. Yeah, tell me more. So Hero's Journey hero's journey. Tell us all Batman. Jeremy Snowden 13:14 So it's very similar, right? You could see these different themes in everybody's lives. We're all living the same life. Brandon Handley 13:21 Suddenly, let's talk about the things right, let's talk about let's talk about the hero's journey. Because if you're not familiar with it, who's it come from? Jeremy Snowden 13:31 Joseph Campbell, is a mythologist very wise man who did research to be able to see these common themes and all stories Star Wars, right? Um, Brandon Handley 13:45 gosh, went nuts. Oh, so if is he recently like that went went went when was he? You know, I do know some history on him. But I you know, I'm not this is not a test. But I want I want I want people to hear from you. I was like, Unknown Speaker 14:00 No, kind of monopoly, Jeremy Snowden 14:02 probably circa and I can look it up too. But probably circa 1950s around that time, I guess Brandon Handley 14:09 so he predates he predates Star Wars and all that Jeremy Snowden 14:13 stuff, right? For sure. For sure. And yeah, just pulling him up here just as a nerd Brandon Handley 14:18 with rain. Sure, man. So, before, Jeremy Snowden 14:21 right so yeah, he was born. Right so 1904 so in died 1987 So, yeah, he was an inspiration to Steve Lucas. Is that right? I'm not a big Star Wars fan but Lucas. Lucas right, George There it goes. I think he's towards. I'm showing my own coolness right now to some of your audience. Yeah, but anyway, um, he just really, you know, well, it says he was influenced, for instance by Nisha Christian Judy Krishnamurti. Carl Jung. I mean, just Schopenhauer. I mean, like he basically canonized The concept of you know that the departure, the initiation of the hero, and the return, you know, and with each and there's got subsections and all that you could read on it, of course online. But it's just that we have the same story except I think in my mind's eye, I'm thinking what you talked about Maslow's hierarchy of needs kind of the same thing. You know, I'm saying there's, there's levels to this shit. Brandon Handley 15:25 Right, right, right, though. Absolutely. Jeremy Snowden 15:27 And unfortunately, we talked about it earlier, maybe some people this round just don't want to get it. Brandon Handley 15:32 Well, there's a there's a section in the story, right is some people reject the hero's call, right? Because the beginning there, right? is is is okay. And and here's, you know, if you want my take on it, which you're not asking for, but I'll give it to you. Ain't on me. Right. So we've got the hero's journey. Then there's, there's the call of the hero, right? That's when you're when you and I are in this journey, we felt something I mean, so overwhelming that if you didn't do it, something inside you died. Yeah. Right if you don't and that's so that's the that's the hero's call, right? The hero's call is, is there's something Unknown Speaker 16:17 within me that if I don't share it, Brandon Handley 16:21 if I don't help to give this away Unknown Speaker 16:24 within my lifetime I may as well stop now. Right? Yeah. Brandon Handley 16:29 So you feel that and then you have a couple opportunities to say Nah, fuck that I'm gonna go have a beer. Right? Right and so you can sub you can sub do that in a number of ways. And and I'm not sure if you ever watched the series on Netflix it's called the umbrella factory. And and what I realized by watching the umbrella factory was there's one girl on there I'm not not to give away the whole plot, but like she was subdued her entire life from her innate superpowers. By medication, right Though, you know, to what where I'm getting there is is like a religion, ad. You know, people who my grandmother was diagnosed as schizophrenic now, we didn't have like we weren't super close, but the question begs to be answered. What's your medium? Yeah, right. Right. And and there wasn't, there wasn't the space in the place, then that we've got now available to allow for that. Yeah, to explore that, which is I love where we are now. So, to me, the hero's call is just that right? There is something within you, right? And if you if you don't answer that, you've got to suppress it. And that's when you start to kind of each time because it's going to be it's going to come more than once. It's gonna keep coming right there every, every moment in your life is kind of an opportunity for that hero's call, right? Yeah. And if you don't answer that You're gonna wither away and die. Yeah. Yeah, that's my take on it. Jeremy Snowden 18:04 What do I think that's wonderful man, that's, that's really good. I love this volley. Plain and simple is because that's how I grow. You know, for the longest I looked around to people that were in suits on Sunday morning, and it's like, you guys can't bring the fire here What's going on? You know, and I was like, there's got to be more. And it's not that they weren't good people. It's just that sometimes when we put constraints on our, our faith or our religion, whatever it is, right, it's, it's we kind of like it's like, I used to lead worship, you know, so and I love worship music. But it was like, only part of the dance and when I when I when I stepped down from that, if you will, and began to sit down on my back porch, right, and, you know, dance in front of the moon. Nobody else is around. It's just me and God. So everything outside of my body is dancing with me. It felt more authentic. Then, you know, playing and although I still play music I still love. I still love worship music but it seemed that I was, you know, we could we following a rigid tradition didn't allow me or spirit for me to be able to just blossom it just kept me in this kind of in a confined space so sure, sure kind Brandon Handley 19:21 of like kind of like I mean, if you think about a tangle of roots and in a confined space in a box, right, like I mean, there's just Unknown Speaker 19:29 nowhere to go. Brandon Handley 19:30 Yeah, okay. Well, I mean, it's fair, but I'm just curious too, because all right, look, you've got this group you're doing you're and you're and you're walking them through, like the hero's journey, right? So I stopped everybody here for a second at, you know, rejecting the call. So what happens when you answered a call is you know, take me there. Right? Jeremy Snowden 19:48 Well, I mean, first off, and I know this different for everybody. I mean, number one is when i don't know i don't get probably the same thing. Granted, it's like even the cashier will start telling me about it. Marriage, you know, I'm saying and it's so it's like you know, I gotta also safeguard my energy at the same time but it's like working with guys that are like somes kind of like a little off and I need some just help. What they really need is just somebody to walk with them that second phase right, which is the initiation right percent, right. So it's, it's and it's it's Simba or I'm sorry. It's symbols friends. Timonium, Puma. Yeah. Cool. Brandon Handley 20:30 Right. So now saying that the other day I don't even care. No. Jeremy Snowden 20:34 Yeah. And then you have her freaky, right, the monkey that shows the bigger picture, if you will, right. And then the mentor Right, so the mystic, mystical mentor. There you go. And that's where I mean again, that the hero's journey arc works Yoda all stories, right. There you go. Right. Go. So walking with them is it for me at least it's as much as just for saying I see you. Yeah, I see you. And he's like, looking at you now. Right? You've done it. Unknown Speaker 21:06 I'll tell you Brandon Handley 21:08 that, that that saves me. when when when, you know, when that happened to me, I was like something was a little off. And I had to reach out to, you know, three, three people, three different people. And I was like, Unknown Speaker 21:21 I don't know what's going on. Yeah. Brandon Handley 21:24 I'm not losing my shit, but I'm not quite right. I just thought I'd let you guys know. Right? And at same time also reached out to a Buddhist Reverend friend, right? I said, Hey, here's what I'm feeling. And he goes, you're cool. I was like, working with them. Right. But to your point, this is a little over three years ago. The I had the exact same feeling of, hey, look, I want to be the greeter. Right? Kind of like a scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. Unknown Speaker 21:58 Right. Yeah, yeah. Unknown Speaker 22:00 We're gonna cross paths you're gonna cross paths or paths are gonna interweave. You're on the way to Emerald City. I'm sure I'll walk along with you for a while. Jeremy Snowden 22:08 We're off to see the wizard. Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah, Brandon Handley 22:11 yeah, so exactly the same. Yeah. Tell me more. Jeremy Snowden 22:14 Yeah. So a lot of the times, it's, it's a matter to, I mean, it's just us watching them as kids, we had invisible friends. Right. And then we're told, well, that's stupid, you know, but I think that they serve whether they were real, you know, if you can, if you if you accept, you know, spirits or demons or whatever, if you go along that track are whether they are just an aspect or element of our own spirit or mind. You know, however you see it, they serve a purpose, you know, and one of those is to, to watch, like, you know, again, is my tradition. It's like, there are such things, it's watchers, right? Have you noticed a lot of paintings that people do when they're shrooms are a plant medicine. There's a lot of eyes around the eyes have it? Sure. So, you know, sometimes people just need you to be their spotter, you know, as they're going through that stuff. You don't need to have. Brandon Handley 23:15 Yeah, you listen, you Listen, don't trip by yourself on the first time, right? Like everybody knows that. I'm just saying, right? Like, it's, it's, it's very similar though, right? Like, you know, you want to be in a safe place and especially when you're in a vulnerable condition such as an awakening or such as like, you know, especially look men are just as vulnerable as anybody else. I I believe, more so because if they're going through the, you know, the call to hero, right. And they don't know where to turn. Most of us haven't been prepared for this. Yes. Right or don't recognize, right don't recognize that they've been prepared for now because I'll I would also say that due to the Your religion, you were able to put things into some kind of framework. You're like, you know what, holy shit. there's a there's a story in the Bible that lines up to the scene that I'm going through right now, what was the outcome? And you could you can say in your mind, right, this was the outcome. What does that outcome really mean, though? Because that outcome no longer is, is this kind of this story, right? No, this is no longer like, you know, you know, the walls of Jericho, just falling down what, you know, what was that story? If I could put that into modern language, right, I circled it, you know, XYZ times. And, you know, is that a story of patience and perseverance of you know, and that's what this really meant, right? And that's what I'm experiencing. Sure. Is, did you have that? You know, is that how you kind of translated your, is that what made it easier for you or was it is it a journey that kind of like really set the tone for you? Jeremy Snowden 24:56 Right, right. Well, it was, I guess, It was a mixture of both. So as you were sharing, I was like, dude, I'm I'm letting him go, because this is really this is solid meat here. This is about where I'm at. So it came to a point where and I won't go into that on the just because for time sake, but, you know, I was going through my dark night of the soul if you will season right. And I just realized I need to zoom up a little further and not just assume that text, no offense to anybody else, any text. Okay, so across the board for me, if it does not resonate with my heart, I just can't receive it. Right. Right. So if I can apply it because I think it's wholesome, right? I mean, I All scripture is given for admiration and for admonition and examples for us and got out and I believe that they're good. They're good stories. Some of them don't apply the way that I was told they applied. And so I have to, you know, observe them as the self Right, yeah. As it's just like, you know, looking at your kids candy, I hate to, you know, make the word candy, you know, I'm saying but it's like, you know, when you're at Halloween, you're just checking get your, you know, you get your fill of Reese's Pieces that Brandon Handley 26:14 you find those passwords don't need all those candy. Jeremy Snowden 26:18 But, you know, I had to I had to scrutinize each thoughts, you know, of any any text. So that's why I'm listening to, you know, Edwin Bryant right now. And, you know, the yoga sutras of Patanjali. It's because there are words there. They're, what three 5000 years old. And he is explaining them and I even have to scrutinize him for myself for my own personal self right now. Not out loud, right? I'm Brandon Handley 26:48 good. Jeremy Snowden 26:49 All right, all the greats I don't I just, I've come here on the same dispensation and it's my responsibility to unpack it. You know, there's a difference. I put it this way. There's a difference. belief and faith, right? And it's like, yeah, was that media? Yeah. So like faith is all scripture calls faith substance. Right? It's a substance. Okay? Right. Whereas belief seems to me to be just an ideology, you know, and it's like, sometimes we mistake I have in the past mistakes as interchangeable. But then when my ideology falls apart, that's when your faith has to come alive. So that's what happened. Okay, so when, when that happened, because of the dark night of the soul, right, I decided to investigate and search things to see if they're actually what they really are for, for my own selves. Brandon Handley 27:43 And describe, like dark night, a soul a little bit. So for somebody that, you know, that feels like they've been through it, or you know, or what does it mean to you because I think that that has a different meaning to people to Unknown Speaker 27:55 write. Jeremy Snowden 27:58 I think it's part of this The Hero's Journey story arc, if you will, in the dragons, the the bankruptcy, the divorce the, you know, the difference stimuluses that caused the response in you? Is it parallelisation? Like, I've been there, like, you know, where you're just paralyzed, you don't know what to do. It was Wednesday, like, a day ago, and now it's, you know, Sunday morning or whatever, you know, you just kind of lose track of everything. It's best. That's my own personal experience. I don't really cry a lot. It's not. Brandon Handley 28:31 I mean, is it like a depression point? Is it a focal point? Do you have to kind of hit? Jeremy Snowden 28:38 Okay, so, very similar to what you said. It's like, Is there a diagnosis for it? That is actually right. Or do we just what is what we call depression? Right? Yeah. Is it? Is that Unknown Speaker 28:54 the call? Sure you Jeremy Snowden 28:57 believe so. You know, think it's thick. Right, and they have to withdraw themselves and and heal themselves or not you know and so you know I kind of think that ladder it's yeah I think you're right my mom actually was kids phrenic and we her and I lived with her demons you know as her behavior is powerful Brandon Handley 29:21 I mean how do you look at that now? Jeremy Snowden 29:25 Yeah so i i i don't know in terms of we've I guess my sisters and I've we've we've had that those conversations is a demon is a devils that are like literal doubles. Is it just the serotonin synaptic gaps and durose transmitters that blah blah, you know, misfire Listen, listen to I mean, there's always there's always a science psychology about it, right? Like I'm right. And that's, that's frustrating, right? Because you can science away just about anything you want. Right? Brandon Handley 29:56 Let's talk about it from let's talk about it from just your You know, your own life experience perception, your own human words? Know what's out. You know, if you're looking at that right now, like I said about my grandmother does that, you know, all right, well, Was she a medium? Was there something was she in contact when you got plenty of people that say I talk to angels, you know, is there something trying to communicate through her and it was a matter of if she had had the right teacher or teaching. It could have been just tremendous power that could have brought good into the world. Unknown Speaker 30:31 Sure. Jeremy Snowden 30:33 Isn't that crazy, too? And could it be I mean, and rest are soul. It could it be that she denied the call? Brandon Handley 30:42 Don't so that's the thing, right? If you don't, if you're not, Unknown Speaker 30:46 so, for me, a lot of this is already like my first language. Brandon Handley 30:54 I was raised this way like my mother was I was born out in San Francisco. My mom was like, I mean I picked up the exact same eaching book. She got like, I'm stupid, retarded. Like, I mean, everything she ever said is like, I'm like, Oh my gosh, she was right. Right. and and, and and like, I mean, yeah, you know, I brought up Alan Watts with her and she's like, Oh yeah, I remember seeing him in San Francisco, Alan. Know. And so, so when I experienced all this stuff, I kind of had a background in it right. I was like, Jeremy Snowden 31:29 nice. It was almost like I'm Brandon Handley 31:34 falling into like, down comforters. Wow, you were just like beautiful gowns. You know, like, wow, I was like, Man, this is a great place to be. Yeah. How can I explain to everybody else where I'm at, right like, I mean, and and do it in a way and that's part about this podcast, right? How can you know a big part of it's okay, great. It's cool. You feel that way, but How can you apply that in? Yeah, practicality, right? And so, so you're doing that in your group, right? you're grabbing these men. And you're saying, All right, we're cool here. This is a safe space. Here's what you're going through, and you're using the hero's journey to walk them along the journey. Right? Jeremy Snowden 32:19 So through the challenges of everyday life through divorce or whatever. And also like, like, in my case, for instance, which in the hero's journey Ark, my dragon was hell. I mean, Holy moly, right. I mean, like, if I'm wrong, I can get a, you know, you know, don't collect $200 go directly to hell, you know, find stamped and it's your own. It's your own damn fault, Jeremy, because I'm now seeking things or allowing things or understanding things that are contrary to my upbringing, if you will. So that was my that was that was that I was just so afraid. You know what What people are gonna think, you know, how people are gonna act toward me, now that I'm able to hold space for a wizard, if I wanted to, you know, I'm saying, you know, or somebody else, it's all welcome here. Brandon Handley 33:11 Sorry. I'm sure the reference behind that. I don't even know, man, I'm just you know, let's just like it's just like, hey, like, you know, all are welcome. Nobody's kind of kept out. Right. And so that's kind of what you were you're talking about. Right? Jeremy Snowden 33:25 Right. But it was because I hit that firewall and push through it, you know, and what if I can give? Can I give a brief example, dude? Yeah, absolutely. Please do. So a couple of years ago, I did plant medicine over at a Native American church. Right. Okay. And I was like, for sure. This is the thing that sends you to hell Brandon Handley 33:45 right here, for sure. Was that the first time you've ever done plant medicine? Yes. Yeah. Okay. What is plant medicine? Jeremy Snowden 33:53 Well, I guess. I think I guess that's not exactly true, but From a vantage point of hallucinogenic as a medicinal Brandon Handley 34:04 right for medicinal purposes well yeah as originally intended Jeremy Snowden 34:09 one could argue that marijuana is plant medicine. Sure. Absolutely. Talking about that about and I westca no it's the it's the South American route that is extracted created into a tea you drink it shit yourself, etc etc. Brandon Handley 34:24 There's nowhere to go a little declare. Gives you as Jeremy Snowden 34:29 many Doritos as you want. You're like, absolutely Brandon Handley 34:35 good exchange. Jeremy Snowden 34:36 So, you know, in my mind's eye, I was like, I mean, I changed my will before I went in you know, I mean, it was I was thinking this I prepared with intentions, etc. about it. I meditated and prayed on it, and then I, you know, I went in, put your money down. That's where it's at, right everywhere. So I'm in of course, I won't go into the experience right now, but The thing is, is that things that I seen made sense to me. Yeah. It makes sense to me in a way that maybe the things that I've read didn't make sense to me. Sure. I didn't change my religion, or if you will, so much as it it really helped me to open my spirit, if you will. Everybody should do it, because it was a trip and a half and it was a heavy deal, Brandon Handley 35:24 you know, about no doubt. Well, but I mean, look, I it's kind of like, um, it's kind of like the the walls are already weakened. And that just, you know, that just Unknown Speaker 35:37 positive in a damn Jeremy Snowden 35:39 right. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. You know, it didn't make me better. It didn't make me a better father or husband or getting married or anything. It just changed you. Exactly. I mean, let's just, even if you look at it from a purely scientific standpoint, you know, where it was the who's hallucinogenic. It's, you know, It was legal the way that I obtained it the whole nine yards. So I'm pretty certain that but it's, you know, I'm just Brandon Handley 36:06 waiting for the address at the end of the show. Jeremy Snowden 36:14 Well, but the thing that if you just look at it from a scientific point of view, where it's just a hallucinogenic that, you know, responded to your nervous system, creating a sense of euphoria and blah, blah, blah, colors, right, good shit. It was right. Nonetheless, it wasn't really about the experience, right? Because it really is about the outcome. Really, right. Yeah. I, this experience is a great, everybody's got it. Right. You know, Brandon Handley 36:44 you take it, I mean, look at me, it's, it's, it's, you know, everybody's got experiences, right? It's, it's not that you don't have the experiences How do you translate those experiences? And that's, that's really the outcome, like so it's it's every, you know, You know, my wife has never done any hardcore drugs, or drugs. I don't think she's ever smoked a weed or maybe she took a hit, but like, she never was like, hey, let's sit around all afternoon and like smoke his bowl, like, Oh my God just filled the bottled water, right? Like she never hung out did all that, but like, um, you know, she'll have some drinks and whatever. But so she's had experiences that she's had. And I've had, you know, plenty of experiences similar to one I just outlined and much rougher and tougher. And she looks at my life like, wow, you went through some shit. I'm like, it's not. Everybody's gone through some shit. It's somebody translate that how do you? How do you take your stories, and empower yourself? Because what we've done though, historically, and I think this is part of what you're teaching your men and working with your men is take these stories and your experiences, and empower yourself. And that's kind of the pinnacle of the hero's journey is that my writers? Tell me more. I'm talking way too much. Yes, Jeremy Snowden 37:56 this is the collaborate. I think it's great but the return That's the final third of the hero's journey the return when, you know King off, Arthur is able to pull the sword from the stone where Simba grabs the courage to be able to, you know, go and get his bride and defeat his uncle and circle and lie, you know. So. So it's it's again, it's it's, it's the, it's the return and for me, it's like well, we started at the, you know the departure like with some some of my guys, we started the departure, and I don't determine that for you. Like, I'm very careful not to try to dictate what I see God as for someone else. Yeah, you can't. Right. Right, right. Yeah. That's right. Brandon Handley 38:42 So that's what that's what it is frustrating. Um, and that's the product it's frustrating but it's also the problem because you Yeah, it's uh, if you say you know, God, then you don't know God type thing, right? Like because Unknown Speaker 38:58 you can't, you can't Brandon Handley 39:00 Put that into words. If you've gotten that kind of the first place that this kind of dawned on me experiences can't be translated they must be experienced was a de five rings book. If you've ever read that, right? Have you ever read that? That Samurai? Oh, yeah. And I was just beginning Jiu Jitsu at the same time, but like he would be talking about like, you know, kind of these different sword moves and swords, spots and spaces. And he can tell you how to do the moves, you can watch how to do the moves, but it's not until not only do you go try to do the moves, when you nail the move, and you get it right, then you know, you've just executed it correctly, right? You're like, wow, you know, because it'll be just a muscle here or muscle here and change and adjustment angle here or there. That makes it all work, right. So minor, minor adjustments, but when you nail it, you've experienced it. And that's all you can tell somebody like you'll know when you get it. Right, you'll know when you write like algebra and fractions. Jeremy Snowden 40:05 Yeah. Oh, and you're like, bingo. Yeah, I got you best nine years of my life. Brandon Handley 40:16 So, so you're running this group, you've been running this group for a while now. Right? And and you're, you're ramping up. You want to expand my right or wrong. For sure. Yeah. Let's talk about that. Tell me what's up. Yeah. Jeremy Snowden 40:31 So because of my experience of divorce seven years, and just when I was able to kind of release that yoke of what my reality was, or when I created as far as my story, and then realize I used to be, I used to be a husband and a father, then it'd become, you know, an ex husband. I changed roles right. And then the kids stopped calling me because they were certainly going off to high you know, High School in college. So they respect Less than less. And it's like so now I'm not even a dad. And so it you know, although I was technically Of course, you know, when they needed something specially, but and and it's just part of their journey they're they're doing what they need to do as well. But it really caused me to be up to to look inside to make it happen. And so that's sort of what I'm approaching other guys that are just having those questions right now. You know so Brandon Handley 41:26 the question is, what is what are some of the trigger questions you hear and you're like, you're like, you're like I know it. I know you need me. Right, I can help you. What are those questions? Jeremy Snowden 41:35 Well, the key the key word that I listened for should back in my Bible days, Hey, have you been reading your Bible? Not as much as I should? Sure. Yeah. Are you exercising not as much as I should? It's like, why don't you design a life for yourself when you fully embody yourself? And so you know, whenever I hear those kind of things like should how things are supposed to To be or ought to, if they're open if people are open to it, and again, it's a matter of audience, right? I don't know who, who needs me. I'm, I'm just opening myself to do. I'm doing a 21 day kind of a challenge. It's really not about the 21 days. It's not about doing activities, although it is it's just about someone watching you through your journey as you're developing. So those dark days where you don't want to get up and you get a text from me that says, you're making your bed right and you're doing your five push ups. Put a thumbs up when that's done, holler to you later. Peace, right? It'll put a smile on your face. It'll make you it'll make you do it even though you don't want to do it. It's valid. Right? It's just it's it's billion dollar that they already have. Sure. Brandon Handley 42:44 Yeah. That hasn't been on hasn't been hasn't been bolstered. Right. It hasn't been supported. It hasn't been encouraged, Jeremy Snowden 42:52 right? Um Brandon Handley 42:55 I would you know, I would stop were we talking about it. I'm Sure you Unknown Speaker 43:00 flow, the book flow, you bought a book Brandon Handley 43:03 is it in his book where he talks about and I think it is in his book where he talks about like, you know, some of the older cultures like in China and Oriental cultures, they cultivated the sense of being, right. They cultivated, they were cultivated people. And we get the sense of and you know, when we say, oh, that person's cultivated, we this we think aristocratic, we think money, wealth, and all these other things, but know, what he's talking about is they've cultivated that inner sense of being right. They've cultivated that, you know, stoicism and applied it and it's internalized, right. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's what they've done. And that's what we haven't done. Right. So that in a Western culture, right, you know, and, and, and I'll throw this other one at you too, because I keep kicking it around. You know, adulting is hard, but you know what, the full word is adulterated. We've been adulterated and changed, right? There's this change and transition. So adulting being adulterated. When we go through this metamorphosis. It's a it is a challenge. And if you don't have people like yourself, myself, I'm there to catch you as you come in or greet you, right? I mean, the officer into the church is there to greet you to welcome you like that. Right? It's You're welcome here, come into this place where you're welcome. And and and be prepared to hear some stories that if you're, they're no longer pearls before swine, right, that they're no longer pearls before swine, like, these are all the stories that are now before you that after you cross this threshold of understanding, you get now you're like, Ah, yeah, because you can't you I think we're talking a little bit about this earlier. It's like you can't go to people who haven't already had the experience. Tell them about the experience, and have them ready to accept it because It sounds unreal. Unknown Speaker 45:02 That's right. Right. But the beauty is Brandon Handley 45:08 we've got, you know, Vedanta Hinduism, all the stories from you know, the the writing to your pata shots. But I mean even, you know, the the cuneiform Egypt lives this, these are not and this is this is what you're talking about though these are not new feelings. These are not new questions. These questions have all been answered before. Yeah. But they've been answered by generations before us who had other experiences to reference around them. Right. And we've got to do that now. We've got to retranslate those stories into a language that somebody else can understand. Jeremy Snowden 45:46 And more or less one that resonates with our just tacking on for me, it's like, yeah, yeah, right. It's not something that I'm parroting anymore and not that you're living it. Brandon Handley 45:56 You're living, you're living it, you've embodied it. It is now internalized and when you express yourself, self expression, your inner self. Right? That's what's coming out. It's like the Wayne Dyer thing, right? You know, if you put nothing if you're an orange, essentially right, the only thing it's going to come out of you is orange juice because all you've been putting in you is pouring right? I mean for you, all you've been putting into yourself is like this love, right? I've been putting into yourself Is this just the story and your understanding and you've been working on yourself? You've been cultivating yourself so that you can Unknown Speaker 46:31 share so that you can get Yeah, yeah. Jeremy Snowden 46:34 You know, I find that a lot of guys and again, I work in more in the manned space than I you know, I've got of course you know, lots of Lady for fret friends that are women but I pretty much in the man's face in terms of self development. Um, and maybe that's just more I'm just that's how I'm wired. You know, I there's a lot of common, there's more commonality, so for sure, but you find that a lot of guys have been motivated and burdened by shame. Okay, it's, it was the, it was the tool that drew the you know that trival drove him to school, it was the tool that kept him in line. It's the and then all of a sudden, you know, and that's where I'm thinking, Man, if people are feeling sensing that on the regular, something's not right, your, your, your, your heart is as a as a and this is just my experience, if your heart is just pushes that way, it's like it feels it and it pushes it away. And so sometimes people use excessive alcohol or drugs or whatever, you know, to, or eating or whatever to be able to mask that. But that's just, that's just the symptoms, you're just cutting leaves off the, you know, the, the weed or whatever, you know, but it's going to continue to grow. It's just going to be there until you find a way to be able to not even address it, but address yourself. It's okay. You know, it's alright, man, everybody makes mistake, I really do it in my there. And just going through that process of not, you know, that self talk process to bring really an impact besides the story, the stories and outside thing, which some of it was true, some of it happened, a lot of it didn't. And you replayed it, you know, 90,000 times every day over the last 20 years or whatever. So I think that's why people need to have other people it's not just by my coaching, you know, video, you know, whatever's and you will be a millionaire too. It's, hey, so was it hard brushing your teeth this morning, man. You know, you look tired, like doing a video. You know, like how when you do video with people. Brandon Handley 48:49 So, you know when I chatted with a doctor who was helping men Go through depression, right? She was actually working on, you know, men who are suicidal, right? Trying to get them help, right because her brother had had done this himself. And so she made that kind of her life's work Unknown Speaker 49:15 column Unknown Speaker 49:22 for three, to one more back. Brandon Handley 49:27 What are some, like, you know, applications of kind of what we're talking about there, right? Because it sounds to me a little bit like, you know, using the observer as a tool, right? That's what it was right? So she would she would say, hey, with men, right? They want to try it first. They want to try to do it on their own first and so she would offer them a toolbox. Do you offer your guys like a toolbox? Beautiful. Jeremy Snowden 49:49 I think that the the book study in itself is that toolbox like resource, and it's really not me. It's the other guys I mean, we get on a zoom call. We talked about You know, like, right now we're doing Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Right? Great ground, the great book, right? Yeah, nothing wrong with that. And we're just going through it and what we're doing, we're talking the language to each other. So I use that as a toolbox. I mean, plain simple is people guys always say it's so hard to be able to be a part of a men's group. Well, the men's group is, you know, your bowling league, if it's the right guys, you know, or, you know, the people that you you know, whatever, you know, hike with or cycle with, that can be a part of your men's group. So it doesn't have to be an officially sanctioned thing. So that's my that would be my tool, my toolbox and you know, then I work on work with people one on one, you know, we do the, the hero's journey men's circle, just that's, that's what I do. That's what I do for my life, not for a living. So I'm charging for I probably never will. It's just a way to be able to have these conversations because if you think about it, in Spanish, everybody's taking Spanish, one Spanish To write, and none of us can even order from the taco truck. You know, I'm saying, why is that? Well, because we didn't get a chance to practice it. Right? So when you're reading a book, a really good book, and then you're talking to somebody about it, like what you and I just did, you know, in the hero's journey, you broke it down. I was like, amen. Amen. I was like, Wow, dude. So, you know, and then she's talking about it. What does it do? It solidifies my ideas. It helps you to contrast them against yours. Sure, not for the not for the cause of debate. You're a stranger you're hearing you know, Australia or whatever. I know you're not but you know, I'm saying Brandon Handley 51:35 but actually, I heard there's a lot of spiders there the other day and we don't want to be in Australia. So Unknown Speaker 51:40 Crikey there goes that cranky. Brandon Handley 51:42 But I was like, they all said it with kangaroos and platypus and koalas. Unknown Speaker 51:47 100% Brandon Handley 51:50 The it's also funny too. Are you able to do me a favor man. Take your camera and swirl it around and rattle off some of the books that Unknown Speaker 52:01 Like well now, right? Yeah. Jeremy Snowden 52:05 Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The Millionaire Next Door right I know that you got that. First things first time traps Elements of Style as far as writing I think you and I think Brandon Handley 52:16 that's where we like that's where we that's where we hit off right like we really don't know. Yeah. Jeremy Snowden 52:23 One minute to do list Heidegger Martin Heidegger, you know, basic writings pemuteran john, which is great, right? I never saw you're not so smart. It's more just a analytical book. You got some Seth Godin represent, right? Yeah, check this Unknown Speaker 52:38 out says one way book man. For sure. Right. Jeremy Snowden 52:42 Right. So of course Four Agreements represent right. The Alchemist over there while the heart by john Eldridge. Hmm. You know, so, uh, I hate to say I'm well read, but I'm just not. Unknown Speaker 52:57 So. I think Brandon Handley 52:58 I think the other thing you hit on there too. is, you know, it's not just reading these books, discussing them and applying them. So otherwise it's a it's what they call shelf esteem. Whoo. Right. Right. You know, what good is it doing it? Yeah. Great. You read all the books. What out of that particular book did you love right? Or you know, if you want to, you know, we'll talk about I talked about high fidelity and the crown a lot, you know, not the chronological order but how you got from how I got from like, you know, blondie, you know, Tomic in 1981 to shatter herbs and Rolling Stones like got into like a you know, man who's right out to that like a talking heads you know, it's always the same, it's the same right like I could tell you a chronological order how I made these brownies and and and the songs and how they made me move. right and and and and what I took out at that time, what was my heart feeling? Same thing with the book. So right like, What? What inside of that book made? What was the? What about that book made you move? What about that book made you change? What changes did you make? Because you've read that? Unknown Speaker 54:18 Yeah. Right. So, um Brandon Handley 54:23 what are some like great applications that you would give some people from any one of those books include Unknown Speaker 54:32 include include call heroes, you know, hero's journey. Wow. Jeremy Snowden 54:37 Um, well, again, I think that the the hero's journey is a template for your entire life and it can happen so quickly right in different areas and aspects of your life. So it's not just a one time winner takes all you know, it's it's you got to go through this story again, it's just a different story. Like, like my kids, they went vegan, right. And I was thinking in my mind Amway is next. Unknown Speaker 55:05 This only leads to one place. Jeremy Snowden 55:08 Now, you know, no, not necessarily, but it's just that we all go through face to face. Yeah. All right. Have you been born again yet? You know, are you Unknown Speaker 55:16 sure? We go through the? Yep, yep. Yeah. Jeremy Snowden 55:20 So, um, I think that probably love, of course, the Four Agreements primarily for its, if you will, the, the number, the preface, but the beginning where he talks about how society created things about us, like your name, it's not your name. It's what you're called, you know, it's not you, you know, or your language was chosen for you because of where you were born. You know, those kind of, so when you when you when you understand that part, then you understand Wait a second, then, I mean, things get really weird. You're like, what do I do with my hands, you know, kind of thing. It's, and so I really like that seven hands. Habits of Highly Effective People. Oh my gosh, in terms of, you know, if you're dealing with anger, for instance, you know, then, I mean, understanding Victor Frankel's stuff, Jewish, Austrian psych psychiatrist and lecture now he's on a table exercising his last Enduring Freedom, you know, the power to choose his response. He couldn't control the stimulus what was happening to him at the time, Unknown Speaker 56:24 right. Jeremy Snowden 56:26 And, you know, his response you could control because of the space in between, which is his power to choose. Brandon Handley 56:33 Yeah, that's based in between is is it that's, that's something that me once you recognize that space in between, so there's so much power and absolute there's so much power in that. And you know, not for nothin like I was always like, felt like, you know, the fastest way to answer had to be like the smartest one right now. You're the fastest One answer, but the more I think about it, like, the person who goes away and comes back with an answer, like the next day and really thought about it, that's the person I admire, you know the person with a question. Okay, well, yeah, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Jeremy Snowden 57:16 Yeah. Nice. Brandon Handley 57:18 Right and and then and then we usually within that time, you kind of figure out some answers for yourself. And to me anyways, whenever you ask a question, you're like, Look, not for nothing. You've got it. You've got a pre loaded answer already. You know what I mean? You're like, even in even for yourself, right? Like, you know, the whole idea of what you seek is seeking you, right? It's just like, you're just, you know, you're sending out to the university. Like, this is what I'm looking for. It'll the universe is like, Alright, well, here it is. You're like, Ah, yeah. where, you know, you know, you know not I don't know where you you, you only had eyes for that. Jeremy Snowden 57:54 Right? Right. How about this, just throw a little bit of spice in Coggins did that. How many of us are self sabotaging at the 10th and goal all day, Brandon Handley 58:07 every day? Jeremy Snowden 58:08 Because we, I mean, we can see it through the membrane. And we're afraid what that means. Brandon Handley 58:14 There's a really good book on that. Let me see if I've got it here. Notice there is I can do anything. I do anything, only if I knew what it was how to discover how to discover what you really want and how to get it. And this is, the concept is about scanners. Right? And scanners are like, you know, I forget what it is, but like, you know, some of us we've got this story, that we're not going to go do this thing, because we feel like why can't go do this because if I did that, I'd leave my family behind. Right or or like, you know, something would happen, my family, they would get upset with me and so we tell ourselves, all these stories They're just that write stories. And so we stop ourselves at the 10 yard line. Because internally, we've got, like some story that we told ourselves that we heard, you know, 30 years ago. Unknown Speaker 59:11 That's so digged. In it's it's entrenched. Yeah. Right. Brandon Handley 59:16 And and whether or not we like to admit it, we know that that's still in there, right? We're like, we're like, now I got rid of that. Like, yo, bro, you don't get rid of words. Right? They keep coming. They keep coming back. And that's just like those stories that we keep telling ourselves and then we say, yeah, we think we got it fixed. And we am still there. Jeremy Snowden 59:35 Right? Yeah. Incredible. Yeah. Brandon Handley 59:38 Yeah, I mean, Jeremy Snowden 59:39 that's a that's sorry. That's like, a choice, right? Brandon Handley 59:44 Yeah, that's a space right. That's a space in between, right. That's a space that's a that's the that's the opportunity to recognize the story that you've told yourself over and over and over and over again, and and that's your opportunity to say Not today. Unknown Speaker 1:00:01 Right? Yeah. Brandon Handley 1:00:03 I talked way too much on this one, Jeremy, thanks for letting me talk. I mean, I can see why, you know, you're you're the guy that that, you know, thanks for this is how you hold space. I appreciate it. You know where, you know, you've got this coming up, where can people go join this group with you? Jeremy Snowden 1:00:18 Absolutely. Thanks. And first off, I wanted to say, you know, I mean, like, you're rocking it to, like, as far as like living your ultimate path. I can, I really can see from my side of the screen. Here's somebody that's going after it, you know, I'm saying you still have obligations, you still have things you have to do. And so this is extra right Brandon Handley 1:00:40 side, hustle, whatever. It's not. here's, here's, here's the thing, and I appreciate that, right. It's not the side hustle. This is I mean, you'll listen to a lot of other people. If you make this the thing you have to do. There's resistance in that and there's worrying there's concern and so you will think back, right you hold things back that are true. Do you because you're concerned what other people may think. Right? And so if you just do it, because it's true to you without expectation, I mean, we talk about Buddhism, right? And we talk about suffering is due to desires but suffering to me is due to our expectations suffering, his desires, our expectations, not being realized the way that we thought that they were going to come out right. So if we do this with the intention, if I do this with the intention that this has to work, all pressures on this all pressures on me that I lose my freedom with that, yeah, beautiful my freedom with that, so but I do appreciate the truth of the matter is this is true to me. 100% right now, getting to lead with spirituality instead of hiding behind your father for the rest of us was awesome. You know, doing that five group was great. They brought me To exactly where I am today it was necessary. I did you know I did prosperity practice and and dabbled in LA. But that also brought me here to ultimately spirituality. I'm like, you know what, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna leave with spirituality. Like we talked in the in this is like, that's who I feel like I need to be I need to be the greeter I need to be the person that greets like you just like you right? Like, just like it is 100% you know, so we're walking the same we're walking a similar path, right? And and we're just there to help people out man and the whole deal with this podcast is we're out there doing it successfully and living our path and having a more fulfilled life through this version of ourselves. Unknown Speaker 1:02:48 And there are plenty of people doing it. And my total intent is to show you that you can do it too. Brandon Handley 1:02:58 I love that right. There's some There's something else. There's something in Jeremy's story that you're going to hear today that resonates with you that says, I gotta, I gotta follow my path. I gotta, I gotta I gotta open up my own heart. I feel like I feel like I could you know, benefit from hanging out with Jeremy and learning about, um, you know, the hero's journey, I've never heard about it. So go ahead, spend some time there. Understand it's like to give people space and follow your path, man. Jeremy Snowden 1:03:25 Absolutely. So we have a Facebook group, of course, hero's journey, which immense discussion discussion circle, which means you know, you're in, you're in if you want in your in piping, just we follow a DBA D Don't be a, you know, whatever. Don't Don't just don't troll in there just for the sake of trolling. Yeah, but it's a great place to be able to connect, you know, it's a safe spot. Some people what I've noticed, too, is there more. They're more reserved, you know, they they they want to watch for While and that's fine. And but it's a great place to connect. And of course, you can message me, of course, Jeremy Snowden, feel free to add me if you're a guy that's into growth mindset, if you're trying to find your way or if you just need some pointers or some feedback, always willing to schedule a call with you. Brandon Handley 1:04:17 Yeah, I think that's awesome that you're holding that space for these people. And, you know, you're accepting them and you're helping them. You're helping them find themselves man. And that's super important. So thank you for joining. So that's Jeremy Sloane on Facebook. And I know you're on Instagram to where should they find you on Instagram? Jeremy Snowden 1:04:39 Instagram is bald headed Movado. It's a project that's a tongue in cheek, I'm biracial. And so I kind of take potshots at you know, the the notion that you know, what are you supposed to be then? So it's more of a tongue in cheek thanks, but I enjoy it. I love I love I'd love to connect there to all thank Unknown Speaker 1:04:59 you Thank you so much for joining us today. Cool. Thanks, brother. Transcribed by https://otter.ai

Leading a turnaround will challenge even the best leaders. The momentum is going the wrong way, and there is never just one thing off. In my decades of leadership, leading a turnaround for a company is hard. Today I’m talking with Steve Lucas, former CEO of Marketo. Adobe acquired Marketo in late 2018. Steve is now SVP, Business Development, Digital Experience at Adobe. Steve led the turnaround of Marketo when retention was soaring, and the people had lost the desire to contribute meaningful work to company growth. Steve gives you new ways to think about leadership. Discover the keys to leading a turnaround in this interview.

This week on "Marketing Today," Alan talks with Steve Lucas, the former CEO of Marketo, which was acquired by Adobe in 2018. Now, Lucas is senior vice president of digital experience with Adobe as he continues to lead Marketo as an Adobe company. In addition, Lucas is the author of "Engage to Win: A Blueprint for Success in the Engagement Economy." In talking about the Engagement Economy, Lucas details the importance of attention and how it is expended. "In particular, attention is absolutely a currency in the Engagement Economy," says Lucas. "Because people, now more than ever, have a finite amount of attention to spend. No matter what you do – even if you never slept – you only have 24 hours of attention. It is a finite resource that we, as humans, have. So we have to carefully choose where we apply our attention." Lucas goes on to add, "And it is not just a belief, it’s an unequivocal assertion on my part, that people will spend that currency of attention on companies and brands that they believe align with their values." Alan will be attending the Adobe Summit, along with Steve Lucas, March 26-28 in Las Vegas, NV. Please reach out as they both would love to hear from listeners.

The final of the 2018 World Cup is tonight and a “little prayer” might be warranted. As for “In Praise of the Sun” well I am looking at photos from sunny Greece on a daily basis from glacial Melbourne and it hurts!   Allez les Bleus!   Playlist   2005 Say a Little Prayer (License to Groove Mix).

Steve returns to DemandGen Radio a year later to provide a recap of 2017 and what's in store for 2018. Despite a lot, and I mean a lot, of changes including rebuilding the entire leadership team, adding over 100 new employees, getting a new head of product, and opening a new office in Denver, Steve led his team to a banner year of growth crushing all of their goals. Hear from the fearless leader himself on where Marketo is focusing next, how they plan to change the landscape for marketing automation, and what he’s learned this past year talking to Marketo's clients. I also ask him to share more insight with you on the partnership with Google and how that is going to bring both AI and scale to the platform.

Steve Lucas, the new CEO of Marketo, talked with us on his 100th day on the job. He talks about why he chose to join the company, what some of his plans are for the coming years, and his thoughts and expertise on customer success.

I asked Steve Lucas, the “new” CEO of Marketo to join me on DemandGen Radio to discuss his first 100 days at the helm. Steve and I first met when he invited DemandGen to Marketo’s Revenue Kick-off Meeting (RKOM) earlier this year. I knew from the moment I met Steve that he was just what Marketo needed to take them to the next level.  In his first 100 days, Steve has infused contagious passion for their growth and success across his entire organization and the partner ecosystem as well. In this podcast, I ask Steve questions about his first 100 days and you’ll want to hear his answers! Why did he join Marketo as CEO? What has he discovered so far in terms of his own SWOT analysis? What does winning look like to Steve and the leadership team? What is he hearing from his visits with customers? What has he put in motion already?         What’s in store for The Marketo Summit event this year in San Francisco? Why he values services partners like DemandGen and other MarTech partners in the ecosystem?
