The Rooftop Podcast

Did we learn anything from 9-11-2001? More importantly, did we learn anything from the events leading up to 9-11-2001?

For months, prior to the attacks, the leader of the Afghan Resistance Movement, Ahmad Shah Massoud tried over and over again to warn the U.S. and the West of an impending attack by al Qa’ida. His warnings were ignored as he continued his fight against them and the Taliban with almost no support from the U.S.

Just days before the worst attack on our homeland, Massoud was killed by suicide bombers dispatched by bin Laden. AQ knew we would come to Massoud after the attack attempting to partner since we had no other allies in the country.

After the botched Afghan Withdrawal, over 27 violent extremist organizations have flooded back into the country, training on the former Coalition Bases, under the tolerant protection of the Taliban, and in flagrant violation of the International Doha Agreement.

Ahmad Massoud, the son of the Lion of the Panshir, continues the fight. For the first time he appears on a public broadcast with a U.S. elected official, Green Beret Congressman Mike Waltz. They are joined by the Afghan-American, former Army NCO - Legend - who has returned to Afghanistan multiple times to help evacuate at-risk Afghans and American Citizens.

The topics in this podcast will blow your mind. What’s happening in that terrorist playground is beyond the pale.

Will we learn from our past? Do we even care? Join us and decide for yourself.

As the wise Yogi Bera exclaimed, "It’s Deja Vu all over again."

When the going gets rough, we go tribal. We are primal by nature as the evolution of brains and DNA has not caught up with the modern world. We are essentially, "Well Dressed Neanderthals". It's Firepit Friday, dig in with us and let's talk tools to deal with our primal selves and those around us.

I'll see you on the Rooftop,

Scott

Who Am I to Do This?: Practical thoughts on defeating monsters, imposter syndrome, and head chatter.

In this rough time of low-trust and Churn, it’s easy to pull back on the big things you’re building in life. That’s a dangerous thing. Because nobody else is coming. So when you ask yourself, “Who am I to do this,” know that more than ever...we need what you’ve got. Give this podcast a listen, ruck up, and give us what you’ve got.  It’s just us.

I'll see you on the Rooftop...

As the 2023 tour of Last Out comes to a close, I can’t think of a better way to share some of the inside experiences than sitting down by the fire pit with my dear friend, combat-wounded infantryman, and castmate Chris Vetzel to talk about the last out journey. You’re not going to want to miss this episode.

Will Cain and I had an amazing discussion on the role of veterans in our society, the fact that "Nobody is Coming" and how Veterans can help lead us into better days with the skills they have earned defending our Nation.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #3: Get Below the Waterline.

If human nature is an iceberg - modern world above the waterline and traditional, primal world below - then the reality is that 80% of our human nature exists below the waterline. We really haven't changed much since the Neanderthal days - we are merely ancient brains in a high tech world. But our traditional nature is often covered up by modern world of supply chain and transactions. At Rooftop, we believe that quality human engagements have to happen below the waterline and they have to revolve around the principles that speak to our human nature. Join Scott in this episode as he lifts the lid on how to get below the waterline in your engagements and why it is so important to do so.

CONTEXT ON THIS SERIES

In 1917, T.E. Lawrence, who you might know as Lawrence of Arabia overthrew the Ottoman Turks in WWI in modern-day Iraq and Syria, using strategic human connections at the local level. He did so by going into tribal environments and creating a level of trust that unified various tribes around one thing that they could all agree on through storytelling of ‘what could be.’ He wanted to help others who followed behind him do the same so he wrote The 27 Articles to share with them. Scott has taken these Lawrencian skills and adapted them to the Rooftop Leadership methodology and in this series will share the 27 Waterline Articles for the Rooftop Leader with you so that you are better equipped to lead through the disengagement, distrust, and distraction brought on by prolonged isolation, low trust, and uncertainty. If you’ll lean into these and integrate them into your life and business, you will be more attuned to the people you lead and be able to look at human behavior in a new way that allows you to lead at a higher level.

What does is mean to be a Veteran? How valuable are our Veterans as assets to business and our communities? What is your Pineapple Express? These important questions and others are discussed in this Veterans Day Keynote from the Reagan Library.

If we are going to lead our country back to better days, we need to better understand what allows us to mobilize our communities and our citizens to do the most good. My interview with Dr. Dave Ellis explores the human dynamics of leading from the bottom up and you don’t want to miss this episode. An incredibly powerful interview.

I'll see you on the Rooftop,

Friends we live in a mechanistic world where we are entangled with machines and technology.

It’s a level of entanglement that not only impedes our relevance in the world, it could just be the end of our species.

So what do we do about it as we fight to reclaim our lives and our communities.

We start to unpack it deeply in this episode.

Pull up a chair and let’s dig in.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #2: Meet them where they are, not where you want them to be. 

Rather than swaying people to be where you want them to be, we have to make it about the other party first. You can do this by focusing on their goals and dreams, learning their pain points that are blocking them from reaching those, and truly meet them where they are. This can be applied across life and business, so settle in and join Scott for this episode to learn more about the importance of meeting people where they are and how you can do so better.
