The Rooftop Podcast

The recent events in Afghanistan and the division in the country have made it challenging for a lot of Gold Star Family Members and Veterans who are mourning the loss of their fallen loved ones this Memorial Day. How do we find a way through? How do we find a way to heal and re-connect through the pain of loss. There is a pathway for us and this solemn day of national remembrance holds many of the answers. Join us for this special episode to talk about why Memorial Day matters so much.

I'll see you on the Rooftop,

Scott

WATERLINE ARTICLE #6: Scarcity Drives Behavior.
Understanding that scarcity drives behavior will help you better see that change freaks people 
out. It puts people in a primal state and fear based behavior takes over. We as leaders have to 
recognize this and we need to learn how we are going to lead through that. Join Scott this week as he discusses the effects of scarcity on behavior in this time of Churn. 
 

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.

Have we left things better than we found them? I think we can all agree that in terms of our nation, the answer is no. This week Scott dives in on this topic and why this has occurred using Jonathan Haidt's "Why the Last 10 Years in American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid" article from The Atlantic as a blueprint. Join Scott for this discussion on our current state of affairs, how we got here, and where we should be going.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #5: Pay Attention to Status.
What drives behavior in this time of Churn? We’re more distracted, disengaged, and distrustful than ever and we’re operating in a time that is volatile, uncertain, crowded, complex, and ambiguous. So what is at the core, driving our behavior? The answer - status. At our most primal we are status beings that use social bonds to survive. Join Scott as he dives deep on the importance of being aware of status in the context of our modern world.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #4: When Sh*t Gets Tough, People Get Primal.

Do you see examples of primal behavior all around you? In boardrooms? On school buses? In restaurants? That's the churn - our arena and human nature feed into this unprecedented reality. These factors have placed us into a trancelike state of fear-based and anger-based behavior where human connection and broader perspective are no longer an option. Join Scott this week as he explores this reality more deeply and how we can overcome it.

What do we do when we start to experience the return on leadership that we have been pouring into? See, a lot of people lose themselves at that point and who they are, where they come from. In this week’s #RooftopPodcast Scott shares his takeaways from his reflection period with his family on how to overcome losing yourself as you being to taste the success.

We all want to leave our mark on the world - or as Rex Mann says 'leave tracks.' As you work your movement you'll realize how tough it can be to reach the finish line, and that really the closer you get the harder it becomes to reach it. Scott is all too familiar with this pattern of achievement, most recently with his work with our Afghan Allies and Operation Pineapple Express. So how do we press through the final stretch of something bigger than ourselves?

Join Scott on this week's #RooftopPodcast fireside at his parents' farm in Kentucky for this and more.

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.

This week we have special guest Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois join Scott to discuss leadership that bridges beyond trust gaps. It is rare these days to find institutional level leaders that put the country before politics, agendas, and other dividing factors - but Congressman Kinzinger is just that, a leader who bridges and leads in a way that is beyond the definition of a party or a group. We ask that you leave your personal ideologies at the door and embrace this thoughtful conversation on leadership.
