The Rooftop Podcast

On the next episode of the Buried Stories of East Palestine Series, I had the pleasure of sitting down  with Scott Wolfe - the waste water superintendent in East Palestine. This interview is a master class in bottom-up, informal leadership combined with the never-say-die mindset necessary to move through hard times and crisis. If you wanna see what leadership without a title looks like in real time, look no further than this amazing interview with Scott. Give it a listen and share widely.

When East Palestine School Superintendent Chris Neifer got the emergency call that a train had de-railed and the town was burning, he wasn’t surprised to hear that his school would be the site of an emergency shelter and command center. But as he donned his heavy cold weather gear on the frigid Friday night, nothing could prepare him for the strategic leadership challenges he’d face over the next 96 hours. Continuing our Rooftop “Buried Stories of East Palestine” Series, dial in and hear his amazing and humble story right here and bring a pad and paper…you’ll wanna take some notes on the lessons this guy learned about crisis leadership and life tapping you on the shoulder.

There have been several articles and reports that have surfaced from East Palestine. Many of them from the 24-7 news cycle portray the town as heavily divided and ill-equipped for the chemical disaster that fell upon them. In my visit to East Palestine and multiple interviews with the village leaders who are getting it done at the grassroots level, I found something completely different. I hope you check out this interview and the rest of the East Palestine Series to hear the stories that were buried in the hype and the leadership lessons that could serve all of us. In this episode, we interview the town mayor, Trent Conaway. Former firefighter, miner, and factory manager, who had to step up with no notification into one of the greatest chemical disasters in our nation’s history. Check it out and let us know what you think.

We’re going to dive into some serious tactics that work in business boardrooms and community centers as well as they work in tribal villages. The power and impact of getting below the waterline and restoring relationships give you a competitive edge. Leaders who can assess trust gaps and restore relationships quickly are always going to be sought after. It won't be easy, but it'll be worth it in the end. 

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.

You can read the original 27 Articles by T.E. Lawrence here: https://wwi.lib.byu.edu/index.php/The_27_Articles_of_T.E._Lawrence

The train derailment and chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio has forever changed the lives of the people in that sleepy little town. But, the final outcome of what happens and how this town recovers, and our nation responds to it is yet to be determined. One thing is certain, as is often the case in large events, the story of the mass media vs the stories being told at the local level are not the same. And there are many stories from East Palestine that you and I are not hearing…and for the good of that town, and the nation, need to be heard. We start today and introduce the East Palestine Series. This episode is a scene-setter to bring in the important local voices so that we can get their stories into the mix and learn the deep leadership lessons they are so generously offering us.

Politics is a peculiar animal, and that’s no exception when it comes to the abandonment of our Afghan allies, following the collapse of Kabul in mid August 2021.

Almost a year and a half after those terrible events, the House Foreign Affairs Committee is finally holding a public hearing on March 8, at 10 AM ET about this foreign policy nightmare and what needs to be done.

Now is the time for veterans and other volunteers to be heard. Join me on this podcast episode on how we can make that happen.

I'll see you on the Rooftop,

Scott
