WILL JOHNSON is my guest on this week's episode of That's How I Remember It, and it's a special one to me. I love Will as a friend and an artist. I've said as much in the new book “Patience For The Ride”, which features essays about the man and his music from illustrious folks like Patterson Hood, Jim James, and Jason Isbell. For the past few years he's been a member of The 400 Unit and also fronted Magnolia Electric Company on recent shows. He continues to put out incredible solo records, including last year's Diamond CIty. On top of all that, he's got a very special sense of memory. All of this lines up to make for a beautiful talk and an excellent episode. Check it out now, and subscribe also!

What does it take for a high-achieving man to stop, admit he's struggling, and ask for help? In this first episode of our Coaching Men podcast series, host Rob Lawrence speaks with Will Johnson, a facilitator and coach who guides men to live and lead with greater authenticity and peace within and about themselves. Will draws on his own experience of burnout in a senior finance role, where he suddenly ran out of energy, but through asking for help, he attended a retreat with the Centre for Courage and Renewal, which awakened a part of himself he had lost and became the start of a transformational journey that called him to a new adventure.   Will went on to train as a facilitator with the Centre for Courage & Renewal, and he now runs Circle of Trust® retreats where men are invited to slow down, listen inward, and share their stories without pressure to perform or fix. Working mythopoetically, he uses poetry, mythology, and imagery to help men bypass intellectual defences and reach something deeper. These spaces work, Will explains, because they remove the masculine reflex to solve and compete, creating room for genuine presence and self-awareness instead.   At the heart of Will's philosophy is a distinction between the ego story — the CV, the achievements, the ladder climbed — and the soul story, which lives in struggle, failure, and the moments that have truly shape us, and connect us each to our own unique 'thread.' He believes men carry more wisdom than they give themselves credit for, but that it often takes community to help them trust their own inner voice and become comfortable with difficult emotions. He explains why he no longer uses the term toxic masculinity, instead embracing the term 'shifting the masculine mind.' His message is both challenging and compassionate: acknowledging our limits, embracing vulnerability, and going public with our authentic selves is not weakness:  it is where real growth begins.   You will learn:   ·       Burnout is a beginning, not just an ending. Giving yourself permission to ask for help is the first, but best step 1.      Embracing difficult feelings, including failures, and tuning into their inner voice is where men can find their soul story and live more authentically. 2.      Community matters.  The isolation many men experience is one of the biggest barriers to their development so joining safe, structured group spaces is where the real work happens, and where men learn to trust themselves again.         'Now write your soul story. That's the story I want to hear. Tell me about your struggle. Tell me about when you messed up. Tell me when you've disappointed somebody.'   Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review!

For their 232nd episode, two well-molded film critics, two non-Aussie dads, and two special effects school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, have secretly found a little sub-niche over the years for their show, where they find an obscure, forgotten film and get the chance to move its Rotten Tomatoes score with their podcast's submitted review. This week, 1986's "F/X" gets the treatment. The caper/thriller celebrating tired cops and practical special effects became Bryan Brown's headlining arrival from Australia.

"If financial services and healthcare are 10 years behind everybody else from a technology adoption standpoint, insurance distribution is usually 10 years behind that." - Will JohnsonMy guest this week is Will Johnson, Founder and CEO of Gyde, who is building what he calls the first "AI-native" insurance brokerage. After spending a decade at Oscar Health, Will realized that while brokers are the critical "entry point to care," they are operating without the infrastructure needed to scale in the modern era.In this episode, we define exactly what "AI-native" means for an agency. It isn't just about buying software; it's a new holding company model that acquires agencies to deploy AI infrastructure - automating renewals and client service to effectively "triple the capacity" of the best brokers.We dive deep into the difference between the traditional "asset aggregation" model (roll-ups) and Gyde's "partner activation" model. Will also shares why Gyde raised a Series A just 14 weeks after launching and his moonshot vision to converge health insurance and wealth management into a single advisory role.If you are an agency owner feeling the ceiling of growth, this episode maps out what the next generation of distribution looks like.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

Ep. 971 - First it was Trey McBride. Now it's Will Johnson. Both have been honored by the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) for their play this past season. Johnson most recently was selected to the All-Rookie Team. That distinction led to a much broader discussion about the Cardinals' current collection of cornerbacks. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman break down the room, highlighting Johnson and fellow rookie Denzel Burke. Craig and Zach also wonder about the status - the health status - of Garrett Williams, Starling Thomas, and Sean Murphy-Bunting. Plus, the two give their thoughts on Championship Sunday. Of course, that all follows an update on the search for a new head coach.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For their 224th episode, two paddle-slapped critics, two ping ball-chasing dads, and two wildly arrogant teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, put a little effort in the 2025-2026 awards season with an episode on Josh Safdie's latest heart palpatation movie,"Marty Supreme," starring Best Actor frontrunner Timothee Chalamet.

Ep. 965 - For the second time in three games, Trey McBride set three different single-season records. Unfortunately, and it's happened too often this season, McBride wasn't able to fully enjoy his accomplishments. He's about winning games more than anything, and the Cardinals just haven't won enough games in 2025. The latest defeat came Sunday in Cincinnati, 37-14. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi, after a discussion on McBride and a quick word on the season-finale at the Rams, detail what they saw; the offense's inability to stay on the field, the defense's inability to get off the field. Plus, what did Cody Simon, who earned Paul's Angry Bird Award, Will Johnson and Denzel Burke show that may carry over to next season?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 964 - In the spirit of Bill Belichick circa 2014, the Arizona Cardinals are on to Cincinnati this week. They play the Bengals, who are coming off maybe their best win of the season. The Cardinals, meanwhile, hope Sunday is the day they put an end to a season-long seven-game losing streak. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman break down the matchup, focus on the challenge Will Johnson and Denzel Burke face trying to slow down the Bengals' two top wide receivers in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, plus go over who will and who will not play in Week 18. Also, the guys head into enemy territory. Geoff Hobson joins the show. He's the senior writer for Bengals.com. It's the Cardinals first trip to Cincinnati since 2019.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 963 - If you listen to either head coach Jonathan Gannon or defensive coordinator Nick Rallis, they both have been pleased with the season-long play of Darius Robinson. The stats, though, haven't always been there. Until Sunday. On Sunday, Robinson had arguably his best game of his career. Craig Grialou and Darren Urban - yes, we got @Cardschatter on the show - discuss what they saw, the impact Robinson made, and what that may mean for Robinson heading into next season, especially given the uncertain status of Walter Nolen III. Also, Craig and Darren talk about the challenge this week for cornerbacks Will Johnson and Denzel Burke, provide an update on Budda Baker, and explain maybe why the Cardinals have two kickers on the active roster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 952 - After back-to-back home games, the Cardinals are on the road this week. They make the cross-country flight to Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers, a team coached by Todd Bowles; and with any Bowles-coached team, this much is known: expect the blitz. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what Jacoby Brissett is likely to face on Sunday. And to further break down the matchup here in Week 13, Craig and Zach are joined by T.J. Rives, Buccaneers radio sideline reporter (and noted boxing enthusiast.) Before that conversation, though, there are injures to update on both sides of the ball; no Trey Benson or Will Hernandez this week, but Marvin Harrison Jr. and Will Johnson are expected to play.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not that Paul Calvisi begrudges anyone else who wants to enjoy a parade, but he'd rather not have to go to his local version somewhere hidden in the Valley he'd rather not say. Fret not. Darren Urban and Dani Sureck get his mind off of such things by talking about the Cardinals' upcoming trip to Tampa, the chance of seeing Baker Mayfield play, dealing with another close loss, learning how to win, the explosive emergence of Michael Wilson, Getting Cultured, the cornucopia of takeaways against Jacksonville, seeking reps down the stretch for Nolen, Will Johnson and other young players, a blowout Wise Guy, the health at running back, Winning Behavior, Fitz takes another Canton step, and talking about what might be found in the kitchen on Thanksgiving.

Ep. 943 - First, playing in Seattle is always difficult. Second, there may be no NFC team playing better than the Seahawks. So, yeah, it's going to be a tough test on Sunday, which became much tougher with the Friday news that three defensive starters - Mack Wilson Sr., Max Melton and Will Johnson - will not play because of injury. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman, the award-winning Zach Gershman by the way - don't worry it's explained during the show - discuss how the Cardinals may handle the absence of Mack, Max and Will. Later, Craig and Zach head into enemy territory. They are joined by John Boyle, senior reporter for Seahawks-dot-com, to further break down the second matchup of the season between the two teams.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The duo deep dive into the surprising watchability of the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Jets clash (who saw that coming?), the stunning efficiency and dual-threat dynamism of Justin Fields (numbers don't lie!) and why the Green Bay Packers are already looking like a well-oiled, dangerous machine. Plus, they give a shout-out to the rookie phenoms like Emeka Egbuka, Will Johnson, and Harold Fannin Jr. who are already making their presence felt.
