In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by Helinox we are joined by John Mackey. On trail he's known as "Strider", off trail he's known as the co-founder and former CEO of Whole Foods. In addition to being a world-class entrepreneur, Mackey is also a backpacking enthusiast, having hike the AT, PCT, Colorado Trail, and many trails abroad including hikes in the Alps, Patagonia, and more. This is a fun, informative, and wide ranging chat that covers his thru-hike on the AT while being the active Whole Foods CEO, how he saved Gossamer Gear from near extinction, his fascination with UL gear, including his own 6.5 lb base weight, how his love for fantasy novels spilled into his own creative endeavor at the AT's shelter logs, his favorite vegan trail snacks, and much more. We also dive into some non-backpacking talk, including how to build a successful and healthy company culture, his take on labor unions, how psychedelics played a pivotal role in his life, and we learn all about his new book, The Whole Story: Adventures in Love, Life, and Capitalism. Chaunce and I were amped for this chat and it did not disappoint. We wrap the show with a sneak peak at a new full-time job opening at The Trek, what fact is common knowledge in our field, but unknown to most of the population, the triple crown of Whole Foods foods, and Chaunce's encounter with a ghost.

Welcome back to "Your World of Creativity," where we dive into unique stories from creators worldwide. Today, we explore a fascinating project with John Lumgair, animation director at Quirky Motion Studios in London, crafting a tale of resistance against technocracy through the eyes of a jazz-playing cow.John's Website John on YouTube @quirkymotion on Instagram John's Facebook page **Highlights:**- **The Jazz Cow Concept**: Jazz Cow follows the story of a bohemian cow leading a resistance movement against encroaching big tech, with a heist to retrieve his saxophone as the central plot.- **Influences and Symbolism**: Influenced by classics like "1984" and the symbolism of jazz as freedom, Jazz Cow juxtaposes the liberty of music with the control of technology.- **Creative Process**: The project evolved from a humorous concept about a jazz-playing superhero cow into a deeper narrative confronting societal issues, driven by collaborative creativity. - **Artistic Vision**: Drawing from traditional 2D animation, Jazz Cow blends noir aesthetics with vibrant colors and incorporates influences from artists like Aaron Douglas and jazz album covers.- **Funding and Engagement**: Lumgair adopts a crowdfunding approach, engaging audiences early and offering pre-sales of merchandise and streaming to fund the pilot episode, emphasizing the importance of audience involvement.**Pull-out Quote:**"I think in many ways, we've got to laugh at this stuff because everything's got so serious... Satire is good to get us to look at ourselves." - John LumgairThis episode offers insights into the challenges of animation production, the importance of maintaining relationships, and the journey from concept to execution in creative projects.As we anticipate the Jazz Cow Kickstarter campaign, let's continue supporting independent creators like John Lumgare, fostering connections and unlocking diverse worlds of creativity.

Today, we're listening to a replay of one of our favorite episodes with John Tarnoff. Tune in to listen here → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/224 As Boomers, we have to constantly reinvent ourselves, just like companies do. And one of the most effective ways to do that is to pull together different pieces of ourselves to create something new. Reinvention doesn't come from nothing. It comes from seeing ourselves in a new light.  John Tarnoff had a long career in the entertainment business. After his tech startup went bust, he decided to go back to school to earn a Master's degree in Spiritual Psychology – a branch of behavioral psychology that focuses on self-responsibility and self-forgiveness as pathways to healing and change.  Now, fifteen years later, as a career coach, author, and speaker, his mission is to support professionals over 50 – to redefine, build and sustain second-act careers beyond traditional retirement. John wrote a book on this called Boomer Reinvention, How To Create Your Dream Career Over 50. We'll dive deeper into these concepts: Some myths about Boomer workers Why freelance work can be a great fit Why you need to find a tribe or network Why even with a W-2 job, you should think of yourself as a freelancer The importance of patience and persistence in working independently Now, for some action steps: Download the free worksheet: Three Steps You Need for a More Productive Workday Grab a copy of Boomer Reinvention, How To Create Your Dream Career Over 50 Check out John's Website John also co-hosts a LinkedIn Live show and podcast called: “The Second Act Show” Take Lynn's Encore Career Clarity Quiz Connect with Me: LinkedIn Facebook Please leave a Rating and Review: Since this podcast is new, I'm asking for Apple Podcasts reviews.

In this episode of the High-Performance Zone Podcast, Gucci's guest is Dre Baldwin, the founder and CEO of Work On Your Game. Dre was born and raised in Philadelphia, played professional basketball in Lithuania, and transitioned into an entrepreneur and motivational coach who applies the mindset, strategy, and systems he learned from playing pro `basketball into his business coaching career.Today, you'll hear from Dre Baldwin on: Discipline. For Dre, discipline is what separates success from failure. And as a former professional athlete and an entrepreneur who likes to lead by example, he believes that creating a structure to your day and being willing to show up consistently and do the work will eventually deliver results.Mindset. Dre explains that mindset is the foundation upon which success is built, and he follows the Be Do Have philosophy, which involves acting as if you have already achieved the outcome you're striving for. He also encourages people to ask themselves the all-important question, ‘ Who do I need to be as a person?' before they set their goals.Building an effective system. We talk about how to consistently and efficiently employ the same techniques in order to start multiplying your results without multiplying your efforts. Getting started. Dre recognizes that most people like to stay in their comfort zone and get around to doing things slowly and later rather than fast and now. With this in mind, he stresses the importance of avoiding procrastination and resolving to take swift positive action.Setting standards. Dre advises listeners looking to improve their performance in life to set non-negotiable standards centered around achieving their goals and commit to achieving them.Get in touch with Dre:Text 305.384.6894 for Daily MotivationWebsite: Work On Your Game UniversityInstagram: @drebaldwinYouTube: Dre Baldwin - Work On Your Game Connect with John: Sign up for John's free weekly IMPACT video seriesJohn's Website John's LinkedInJohn's Instagram

After starting his career on a market stall in Essex, John Sills has spent the last twenty-five years working to make the world a better place for customers. John is the Managing Partner at the customer-led growth company The Foundation, and his writing has also been featured in publications such as The Guardian and Management Today. He joins the show to discuss his thought-provoking and timely new book The Human Experience: How to make life better for your customers and create a more successful organization. Important Links: John's Website John's Twitter John's Substack Show Notes: John's time working on an Essex market stall Human vs functional customer experience What's blocking the human experience? Why do leaders stay away from the frontline? Escaping Vogonization Does the human experience scale?

In today's conversation, I am joined by John Sills. John is Managing Partner at the customer-led growth company, The Foundation. He's been in front-line teams delivering the experience, innovation teams designing the propositions, and global HQ teams creating the strategy. He's been a bank manager during the financial crisis (which he says was not fun), launched a mobile app to millions of people (very fun), and regularly visits strangers' houses to ask very personal questions (incredible fun). He now works with companies across industries and around the world, and before joining The Foundation spent twelve years at HSBC, latterly as Head of Customer Innovation. He regularly writes on Customer Experience and Innovation, and his first book, The Human Experience, just came out and is what we are discussing today. This was a really fun book, and it is chock-full of real life experiences from businesses (both good and bad) that you can learn from. John keeps it light, even when teaching some really important stuff, and helps us to see how we can all benefit from remembering that we are, at the end of the day, humans (and so are our employees and customers). So let's just bring a bit more human-ness back into our companies! Show Notes: [00:43] In today's conversation, I am joined by John Sills. John is the managing partner at the customer lead growth company, The Foundation.  [03:24] John shares himself and his background. [05:56] You really need to want to make things better for customers.  [08:41] You are closer to your colleagues, business, products, and services, but your customers are really important. We often write things that make sense to us but not to our customers.  [11:22] Factfulness is all about helping us challenge our perspectives of the world. It is easy for us to think we are the center of the world.  [14:01] Nearly all of the research we have is very inside out. It is all about the company and almost none of it is about the customer and how we can be useful to them.  [16:10] Companies should stay close to what matters most to their customers and their lives and then work out how to be useful to them.  [19:42] As a CEO if you don't go and experience the other jobs in your company yourself then you never get the visceral connection to what is really mattering for your customers.  [23:07] A real sense of responsibility and ownership for the customer is missing in many organizations.  [24:09] John shares a wonderful customer experience he had with Swiss Rails.  [27:27] Bad customer experiences are really expensive to provide.  [29:35] If you give a good experience in the first place your customers will contact you less and everything will be more efficient.  [30:23] Failure demand is the demand that is put on your service or organization as a result of failures you made elsewhere in your customer experience or service.  [32:50] As humans we are truly loyal to very few things. Very rarely are we truly loyal to companies.  [34:02] If you as an organization stay more useful than your competitors then people will stay with you.  [35:09] Organizations spend very little time keeping the experience great and essentially ignore endings or make it difficult for customers to leave.  [37:35] If as the leaders in an organization, you really understand what matters to people in their lives then your singular job is to understand how you can be most useful to them in their life.  [38:30] What is at the heart of great organizations is really understanding their customers and really staying useful to them.  [39:55] If you can retain that humanness in your organization and let your people be human then they will understand customers and create things that are useful.  [41:43] No one has time to stop and think and it is really dangerous. It feels like it is really important to check things off a to-do list instead of really getting things done well.   [43:18] When you don't have the time to step back, bad customer experience abounds.  [44:05] When you try to make it look like you know the person you are talking to and then you miss it feels a lot more painful and annoying than if you didn't ask enough. [46:43] Over the last 20 years organizations have done a great job at trying to perfect the functional customer experience, but they have done that at the expense of the emotional and human experience. [48:27] Just be the human you have spent all your life training to be. Speak in a human way, think about what it is like to be on the other end, and take time to understand other people.  [50:00] Treat people the way you want your gran to be treated and make your mum proud of the decisions you make.  [51:30] Melina's closing thoughts [52:28] If you consider the extreme costs when you have to fix things it is often more cost effective to do it right and more human the first time.  Thanks for listening.

I've said often that teaching yoga is a lonely job. We come into work often by ourselves, we lead people in classes where the power dynamic is inharently unequal, and then we close up shop, sweep the floors, and shut the lights all by ourselves. But what if it didn't have to be that way? What if we saw other yoga professionals as potential collaboration partners? Accountability partners? Inspiration? Welcome to the relationship that John Cottrell, Allison Rissel, and Sheri Fisher have created together. They found a collaborative partnership, and a kinship, among sharing their joys and struggles, and have truly created a collective we should all strive for.There are so many gems in this episode, but here are our key takeaways. KEY TAKEAWAYS Collaboration is a lot like dating. Sometimes you get your heart broken, and sometimes you fall in love. Collaboration isn't just an extroverted skill. Even introverts can learn skills of connecting with people and find it very rewarding. Agendas help meetings be purposeful. Collaboration within your business can take longer without focus and organization. Find an accountability group that keep you motivated. In-person is great, but if you start to interact with people online Have you ever been burned in a yoga business collaboration? Remember professionalism and communication, and ask yourself how you want to be with other people.

As Boomers, we have to reinvent ourselves as companies themselves need to reinvent themselves.

John Dolan has been in the photography game for a very long time and has made a name for himself in the sphere of weddings. He genuinely shoots some of the highest ticket weddings that I've heard of, but he joins me to share some myth busting moments that he's learned over the years.    He was in the photography industry for over a decade before he ever took his first shot. Once he picked up the camera and started making money from his passion he never looked back. Over the years that he's worked he's gradually increased his rates but released his need for perfection.    What he found was that in almost every circumstance, the imperfect images he shot at weddings and related events were the most dynamic and perfect. He no longer studies the location or the structure. He lets instinct guide him in capturing the most important moments of each wedding he shoots.    Listen in to hear all of his amazing tips and to better understand what it means to be an in-demand and well-paid wedding photographer.   Links and Resources:  Episode 150: How to Book $20,000 Weddings with Samm Blake Episode 70: Long-Term Tips with Ryan Brenizer Mike Disfarmer Effortless Mastery by Kenny Werner   Connect with John:  John's Website John on Instagram The Imperfect Archives Connect with Adam:  Adam's Website Adam on Instagram Adam on Facebook The Bearded Tog on YouTube The Bearded Tog Patreon Group Download the Wedding Guide Template   Monthly Workshops

We are all more than one thing. But self-employed entrepreneurs have been told over and over again that we can't have a division between who we are in business and who we are at home. Studies show, however, that having and sharing other dimensions make you better at your job. When I work with my coaching clients I help them connect the dots of who they are to figure out how they can serve their customers the most authentically. And believe me, we really dive in and find all the dots. We are all more than our jobs, so why do we feel pressure to pretend we are not? Sharing your “ands” is a wonderful way to stand out beyond your technical skills. They add texture to your humanity. It is important for self-employed business owners to bring their whole selves to their work, as well to give themselves the time and space to cultivate all of their sides.  To dive into the power of sharing our “ands” I've brought on nationally recognized speaker, emcee, and stand-up comedian, John Garret. John draws on his condition as a recovering Big Four CPA to deliver messages that hit home with corporate audiences. This professional member of the National Speakers Association is on a mission to shatter the definition of “stereotypical professional” and in the meantime, show organizations how to create a stronger culture that increases engagement and reduces turnover. John has performed for leading companies ranging from “Big Four” accounting firms to banks and technology companies to professional associations seeking an outside-of-the-box way to engage their audiences.​ John reminds us that we can be good at our jobs without having them tattooed on our hearts. To learn how to fully embrace your “and,” download this episode now. THE EXPERIENCE WARRIOR  "We can be good at our jobs, but they don't have to be tattooed on our hearts." - John Garrett  Highlights - Studies show that sharing your other dimensions makes you better at your job.  People that don't separate their work life from their personal life make better, more moral decisions.  90% of people have a hobby outside of their job.  Self-overlap is the interconnectedness between the different parts of you.  Putting an “and” in your email signature is a great, subtle way to share something about yourself. You stand out if it's in a place that you don't think you should put your “and”  Eudemonia: the optimal state of human existence.  People who identify as having other dimensions are less prone to anxiety.  What are you doing today that will make you memorable twelve years from now?

It's my belief that humanity has evolved in the best way possible over all the years I've been in business. These days people make decisions based more on energy than logic. And so I've begun to wonder: have we fundamentally changed or are we the same and what has changed is simply how we talk about business? Regardless of your industry, if you can get to the core of what motivates you, you can perform more authentically. Additionally, as you begin to examine your own life's themes, you may begin to understand the themes of those around you or those you serve and can better strategize ways of connecting with them. To dive deeper into the concept of Life Themes and what drives your personality, I've brought on philosopher, writer and psychological researcher, John Voris.  John educates about the very things that make us tick, the roots that make for success or failure in our work, relationships and personal well-being. He earned his degree from the University of California with a degree in Philosophy. His book, “Discover the Power That Drives Your Personality” is the result of over 20 years of application and another 16 years of research. By applying European discoveries into field application involving hundreds of sales prospects, John invented a ground- breaking approach to personal inquiry that revealed a person's life motivation and authentic design far beyond sales. He discovered that our drive for personal Happiness, Meaning, Purpose and Harmony manifest the hidden power beneath our observed personality.  To find out how you can improve your business by understanding your humanity, download this episode now. THE WARRIOR OF KNOWLEDGE “Your power is in your uniqueness.” - John Voris Highlights - Personality tests explain the way you express yourself, but they don't explain the ‘why'. Are you best described by what you do or who you are?  We are the language we use, but also what is unspoken. Your life theme drives your authenticity.  The four life themes  based on universal virtues are: love, justice, wisdom, and power. The way you rejuvenate yourself in addition to your life theme can give you deep insight on how you engage with others.  It's easy to project your theme onto everything around you.

We recorded during the pandemic and it was the day before his 1st social distancing party at his house. We spent a little time talking about how this time during the pandemic and how the content be putting out into the world right now is so important especially for coaches and healers. He handles all of his coaching from home and is able to do all of this remotely. He considers entrepreneurialism as an art from. You take an idea and create it. Ryan started out as an artist manager actually managing bands. He loved the interactions with the band but was much less enthused with shady club owners. Eventually he transitioned out and got into coaching to help people become their best selves. He also published a book last year which he sent me a copy of in advance but did not receive until the afternoon after we did the interview. We dug in on how many musicians actually have high levels of anxiety and are not as confident as they may seem. He would work with them on their internal dialog and what they are saying to themselves. Mindset does play an important role for Ryan and how he works with clients on their various challenges. He has found a common theme in many of his clients and it is fear. And fear in all its forms. I used my own example of a fear of success I had as a younger adult and he used the example of driving a car and ramping up the speed as a metaphor. Adding the word could instead of should is a simple way he helps people to work through their struggles. It really helps to eliminate the self-judgment. He has a morning routine with affirmations he does every morning along with some journaling which has allowed him to set up his day for success. Mindfulness is starting to appear in corporations and according to Ryan, Thank God! Resources Mentioned: Dr Joe Dispenza.

In Episode 3 of this special series on self-care and strategy for entrepreneurs, Dr. Sabrina, The Business Psychologist™, addresses what we are going through as business leaders and entrepreneurs and reminds us of why self-care is so important during this time. Today’s guest, John Bates, joins her to discuss leadership in a virtual age. We’ve all been thrown into virtual leadership recently due to the COVID-19 event, and this presents its own unique challenges, such as how we are going to connect emotionally with the people whom we are trying to lead. John’s “why” is to unleash what is great in all of us so that it can live in the world. John lives that “why”, and he has a lot to share. Stay tuned for this insightful conversation! John Bates has spoken, hosted, and coached for over 35 different worldwide TED and TEDx events. He’s been privileged to get to know some of the top leaders in the world, the NASA astronauts, the leaders at Johnson & Johnson, JLABS, Accenture, Boston Scientific, Coca-Cola, and many others, including many Tap the Potential clients. He works with people on a very deep, personal level. The amount of vulnerability, openness, self-reflection, and honesty that a well-done TED-format talk requires is second to none. The insights into leadership, success, and fulfillment in life that John has gained from his years of experience with this allow him to share some of the biggest, most powerful secrets of truly successful leadership that exists.  Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group. Show Highlights: John shares his successful, earlier days of entrepreneurship and his deadly struggle with an autoimmune disease, which seemed to be triggered by stress and a lack of sleep. To get out of the hole he found himself in, he had to really learn how to take care of himself. There is no greater time than the present to be paying more attention to self-care so that we are able to share ourselves with others. Assess your entrepreneurial burnout for FREE HERE. You will get feedback that shows your current risk for burnout and if you have more than 3 symptoms, you are at high risk and will need to look at self-care measures to put in place.

This is an opportunity to look for new ways of working, new ways to be productive, and new ways to engage family and life. We can take this time as an opportunity to think about what we have to be grateful for and the good things that are coming out of this time.

Join in on the conversation around regenerative capitalism and if/how capitalism can be made regenerative by tweeting @volansjohn and @nori, and you will automatically be entered to win copy of John Elkington’s latest book, Green Swans: The Coming Boom in Regenerative Capitalism!   Most of us are familiar with Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s concept of a black swan: an unforeseen, adverse event with off-the-scale impact. But what if we were to flip this concept on its head? In his new book, John Elkington envisions a world where capitalism transforms to serve people and planet, where the black swan problems currently leading us to exponential breakdown are mitigated by green swan solutions taking us exponentially toward breakthrough.   John is an internationally recognized authority on corporate responsibility and sustainable development, bestselling author, and serial entrepreneur. He currently serves as Chief Pollinator at Volans, a future-focused business working at the intersection of the sustainability, entrepreneurship, and innovation movements. Today, John joins Ross and Paul to discuss his most recent book, Green Swans: The Coming Boom in Regenerative Capitalism, and explain how a green swan differs from a black swan event in its potential for an exponentially positive impact.   John goes on to discuss the idea of regenerative capitalism, explaining why he doesn’t trust incumbents to lead the movement, how we can approach new ventures with a regenerative mindset, and why he suggests transforming the current system rather than scrapping capitalism altogether. Listen in for John’s insight around the unintended consequences of implementing new technologies, and find out what green swans might arise out of the COVID-19 pandemic.   Key Takeaways   [2:52] What John is trying to communicate through Green Swans Black swan = unexpected event, exponential negative impact Raise question re: exponentially positive trajectories   [5:52] How John defines a gray swan and a white swan Gray swans have massive negative impact but were foreseen White swan = template for anything with exponential impact    [8:27] John’s concept of regenerative capitalism Social movements must engage with markets + business Reprogram key parts of system to build resilience   [11:17] The potential for oil and gas to lead the movement Fundamental distrust of incumbents in old economic orders Reptilian instincts, try to undermine opposition   [13:49] Why we shouldn’t just get rid of capitalism Market activity gone on for thousands of years Reform with government, regulatory involvement   [15:57] How to start new ventures with a regenerative mindset Leverage approach of B Corp movement Requires transformation of financial market   [22:19] How a regenerative focus might heal the political divide Potential for transfer of wealth from urban to rural Still dispossessed by tech (automotive, dairy industries)   [25:57] Nori’s potential role in establishing regenerative capitalism Evolving ecosystem of likeminded companies Operate as standard setter of what is regenerative   [30:08] What we need to know about Thomas Midgley  Chemist/engineer with patents for leaded gasoline, freons Single organism who did most damage to planet   [33:26] How to cultivate leaders who put the community’s needs first Reach out to people don’t understand, make uncomfortable Develop ability to listen for weak signals of change   [36:25] What green swans may arise out of COVID-19 Commitment to air quality, places to walk and cycle Universal basic income (has own unintended consequences)   Connect with Ross & Paul    Nori Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori on Patreon Nori Newsletter Email podcast@nori.com  Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   John’s Website John on Twitter Volans John Elkington on RCC EP028 Green Swans: The Coming Boom in Regenerative Capitalism by John Elkington The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb Books by John Elkington People of the State of New York v.

I spent my first 27 years of life convinced that men and women were exactly the same except for the obvious anatomical differences and a boatload of socialization. After a big relationship breakup, I read the modern classic book, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, and quickly learned I was wrong about so many things. Men and women are very different, not just in how we are socialized but in undeniable biochemical and neurological ways that impact us constantly. Different doesn't mean better nor does it mean worse, stronger, or less capable. Different means different—wonderfully, infuriatingly different. A huge part of what I've been most criticized for in life has nothing to do with who I am as a person; it's just my masculine self expressing itself strongly. And a huge part of what drove me crazy about women was not who they were as people but their very nature that I didn't appreciate or understand. Ignorance, in this case, is not bliss. It's a guaranteed plan for constant conflict at home. This week, you'll meet the most influential relationship expert on the planet, Dr. John Gray. His books and his work have made their way into just about every school, university, and bedside table in the world. It would be a mistake not to invest time in learning from John.   Listen & Learn: How most modern lifestyles lead to hormonal imbalances How the feminine “recharges” vs how the masculine “resets” Why we need to celebrate differences rather than try to suppress them How to navigate the challenges of polarity Links & Resources Dr. John Gray's Website John's Books ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. John Gray, Ph.D. is the best-selling relationship author of all time. He is the author of over 20 books, including Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: The Classic Guide to Understanding the Opposite Sex.

His unique focus is assisting men and women in understanding, respecting and appreciating their differences. John's advice can easily be used to improve relationships at home and in the workplace.

Fellow podcaster, John Hughes, of Choir Chat comes on the Find Your Forte podcast to follow my format and share his choral philosophy, ups and downs, and his unique contribution to the choral world. Listen   Bio Dr. John C. Hughes is assistant professor of music and director of choral activities at Ripon College in Wisconsin. In addition to conducting the college’s choirs, Hughes teaches conducting, choral methods, and private voice lessons. Beyond Ripon College, he is in demand as a clinician and honor choir conductor and serves as assistant conductor of the Choral Institute at the Green Lake Festival of Music (WI). He also founded and hosts Choir Chat, a weekly podcast of interviews with conductors and composers. Hughes earned his undergraduate degree in Vocal Music Education from Augustana College (IL), where he studied with Jon Hurty and Michael Zemek. After teaching in public schools for several years, he earned the M.M. in Choral Conducting from Northern Illinois University, where he studied choral conducting with Eric Johnson and orchestral conducting with Lucia Matos. Hughes earned the D.M.A. in Choral Conducting and Pedagogy at The University of Iowa, where he completed his dissertation on Leonhard Lechner’s 1593 Passion. His primary teachers at Iowa were Timothy Stalter and David Puderbaugh. A versatile choral musician and pedagogue, Hughes draws from his experience as a collegiate conductor, public school teacher, and church musician. His calm but firm demeanor and persistent dedication to excellence translate well across all ensembles. In addition to his busy performance schedule, Hughes is passionate about choral literature and scholarship, specializing in Lutheran music before 1600 and trends in contemporary choral composition.
