What We Learned
1. Focus on your health.
Sam was burnt out and not in a good place. One of the things he decided to do was focus on his health. He started exercising more and paying more attention to nutrition. As a result, he gained more mental clarity and became more disciplined.
2. Talk with people about what's going on with you.
Sam discovered two benefits to talking with people about moving to Portland. The first is that he gained wisdom. The other was that he gave people the opportunity to join you in what you're doing.
3. The church is better when we work together.
There is a tendency in most churches to not work together on things. However, Sam has found that there are many benefits for churches to work together. They can offer support and help when you need it and in turn you can do the same.

What We Learned
1. Your primary thing needs to remain your primary thing.
This can be tough because you may enjoy your side hustle more than your full-time job, but you owe it to yourself and others to give your job everything.
2. Differentiate yourself.
You have to figure out how to separate yourself from others. Jared and Creative Sheep do this in a couple of ways by paying their contractors quickly, which is not always the norm, and throwing their team a Christmas party.
3. Just start.
There are always excuses for why you can't or shouldn't do something, but it all comes back to fear. Don't let fear stop you from starting. Don't overthink it. Just choose to start it now.

The Power in You
What We Learned
1. Be responsible with what you've been given.
This means keeping your word, not making excuses, and being on time. Then once you've completed the task ask yourself, "What is something I could have done better?"
2. Be relentlessly persistent.
Keep asking until you get an explicit no from people. This is what will separate you from others because many people give up after the first attempt.
3. People buy into the way you make them feel, not your product.
Great businesses choose to focus on creating a great experience for their customers. Awl & Sundry does this by treating everyone the same, honesty, and doing more than what the customer pays for.

Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast
What We Learned
1. Influence outpaces authority.
One of the biggest myths in leadership is that you have to be in charge, in order to lead. All you need is influence. Leadership is all about influence and you can have that wherever you are.
2. You'll learn more under a bad boss than a good one.
Time under a bad boss doesn't have to be worthless. You can learn many lessons on what NOT to do when you are in charge from a bad boss.
3. None of us are in charge of everything, but you are in charge of yourself.
Everyone is tempted to point the finger and blame others for what didn't go well. Good leaders take responsibility for their actions and realize that even though they aren't in charge of everything they can do something to lead well.

The City Harmonic - Benediction (Live)
What We Learned
1. Break it down.
Clint and his team break positions down to get as many people involved on their team as possible. This may mean breaking one position into four separate roles. They understand that most people are busy and aren't able to commit to a bigger position so they figured a way to get people to start serving on their team by breaking the roles down.
2. Share the share
Clint is very intentional about replacing himself. On a typical Sunday, his church will sing three songs and he makes sure that he leads no more than two of those songs. He looks to share the spotlight with other worship leaders whether it be through co-leading a song or them leading worship by themselves.
3. Know your audience
Clint and the Freedom House team know that they have both churched and unchurched people in the audience on Sunday mornings. This affects the words that they say from the stage so that they connect with people rather than confuse people.

What We Learned
1. Lead with a pure heart.
It is impossible to lead others well without a pure heart because you will be leading them to yourself. Great leaders choose selflessness over selfishness.
Remember that the thing that affects your heart more than anything else are your relationships so keep them healthy.
2. Who you are is more important than what you do.
We focus more on what we do instead of who we are and that can get us in trouble. We forget that what you do is an indicator of who you are. Prioritize your character over your competency.
3. Learn how to follow rather than lead.
There is something in all of us that wants to be the leader and many times younger leaders need to choose to learn how to follow well and leading well will take care of itself

What We Learned
1. Don't wait for someone to do what you want done.
Jordan was hoping that someone would create an Instagram account about the people and life of St. Louis, but then decided that anyone could create the account so he did it.
2. People respond to other people.
Jordan has found that the pictures that get the greatest response are those that show the humanity of other people.
3. True art is honest.
The best works of art don't ignore the dark side of humanity. Jordan mentioned that some of his favorite photos are the ones that make people uncomfortable.

What We Learned
1. Think like a consumer, not a staff member.
It's tempting to think that everyone may like what we like, but that's not the case. We can also think that people know as much as we do and understand more than they really do. Whenever you are getting ready to do something think like your audience. They are the ones who you're going after.
2. Create memorable experiences by breaking people's expectations.
Figure out how you can exceed people's expectations. On social media, look for ways to create 1-on-1 moments instead of 1 to all. Phil said that for a night of worship they asked what songs people wanted them to play and then took some of those songs and created a video for them on social media.
3. Know what your brand is.
Your brand is more than your logo. Your brand is not what you say about you, it's about what others say about you. If you want to know what your brand is ask people what brought them to your organization and what keeps them there.
