The Rooftop Podcast

 In this transactional world, leaders are often de-valuing the very skills they need to get big sh*t done when nobody is coming to save you. Known often as “soft skills,” the power of inter-personal connection and influence is often trivialized in favor of coercion and various forms of “because I said so, dammit.” In low-trust times, that’s what amateurs do. Pros know that the soft skills are actually HARD SKILLS. Join me in this episode and see why!

I'll see you on the Rooftop,

Scott

Many of us look at what's going on around us and feel as if it's too much. So much noise. So much division. The divisionist leaders are driving to separate us, to foment instability in the public arena as well as our personal lives. You know this isn't your path. You know there is a better way. You know that you can help lead us into better days. But, how? How do you get big sh*t done when things are really challenging. I've spent the last thirty years of my life living into this question and answering it with action and deed. We need you. We need what you've got. Join me in this episode and let's get after it.

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.

Leadership - at an institutional level - is in short supply these days. Whether it’s media, Congress, or the corporate world. Having a big heart and the moral courage to bridge across gaps and stand for the greater good is something that I’ve always admired in leaders. We need more of them in politics. Party means little to me; I’m looking for leaders who stand for something bigger than themselves, and I hope you are too. Please join me in this special interview with Green Beret, Colby Jenkins, an old friend, who proved himself time and again in combat and is now running for Congress. I’d ask you to focus less on the partisan noise  that’s going on in the political arena and more on who these people really are. Colby will show you he is seconds into our talk. I will see you on the Rooftop

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.

How do we serve others through storytelling when the stories scare the hell out of us?!

This is something I’ve wrestled with since I became a storyteller. The answer is, that we lean into it and realize that it’s not about us…it’s about the listener, even if we are the protagonist in the story. I’m so excited to share with you our 300th episode of the Rooftop Podcast and even more excited that this episode features Dr. Kate Pate and her amazing view on mental health and storytelling. You don’t want to miss this one. Give this fire pit edition a close review and please share widely.

I’ll see you on the Rooftop.

Starting on September 11th, 2012, al-Qa'ida carried out a series of terrorist attacks on the U.S. Consulate and CIA Annex in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.  And yet, the case remained unsolved. The terrorists were never brought to justice because they had not been identified, until now.

Two former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Officers involved in the Libyan crisis before, during, and after the attacks decided they would not allow an al-Qa'ida terrorist attack to become a cold case.

Sarah Adams and Dave ‘Boon’ Benton have worked for years to bring to justice the attackers, to honor their friends and co-workers that were lost that day. Today they join us by the fire-pit to share their story and tell us about their amazing book, and to provide a rare inside glimpse into the world of terrorism and how many of these same terrorists are at this moment, training and planning the next attacks on the Western World.

I'll see you on the Rooftop...

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.
