Beyond the Told - Destroying the Narrative

If one were to explore outstanding examples of organizational development, team-building, or leadership, Rome probably would not come to mind. Perhaps it should. Indeed, there are plenty of things that the Romans did right. Roman tactics regarding organizational development, team building, and leadership are three great examples of things they did exceptionally well. Today, I will share how you can use these tactics to your advanta...

Weather modification has become a hot topic in recent weeks (and years), sparking debates and raising many questions. Yet, despite the wealth of information available, much confusion persists - likely due to those appealing to their 'Confirmation Bias' instead of seeking accuracy. Even worse, many fall into the trap of the 'either/or' fallacy, which limits a deeper understanding of the issue. So, is it conspiracy or fact? The truth...

If you have a social media account, there is little doubt that you've seen numerous posts talking about the power of empathy, feelings, looking out for the emotional state of your peers, and so on. On the surface, it sounds nice. However, what if I were to tell you that, for those looking to lead (either their life or organization) it's terrible advice - if outcomes and goal achievement are what you want? What if I told you that it...

Yes, 'freedom' is important. But what if I told you that you may not have as much of it as you might otherwise think?

It questions how current laws align with constitutional values, highlighting various examples where modern legislation infringes on individual rig...

Today, I want to share some audio of a video I did talking about how we can evaluate the effectiveness of American leaders and their adherence to constitutional principles. The video posed critical questions about how citizens can measure leadership success, the vision our leaders pursue, and the degree to which constitutional rights are protected. At the same time, it challenges us to reconsider our perceptions of government perfo...

In today's episode, I share audio from one of my videos. This one explores the concept of 'pseudo-thought leadership' and warns of the prevalence of recycled ideas and the lack of true originality on the web. It also discusses the psychological and social barriers to accepting novel ideas and the resistance genuine thought leaders often face.

Okay, I think I figured out what the transition will be - or needs to be. So, in this episode, I discuss the next evolution of "Destroying the Narrative" and why the show is shifting to a new format. I'll talk a little about the transition to audio articles and video content, (hopefully) making it easier for listeners to engage with the articles and videos that you may have missed. Tune in to learn what this change will mean and wh...

Well, it's been 20 years, and I think it's finally time to throw in the towel - at least in how I've been doing this show thus far. A transition is necessary, I'm just not entirely sure what that will look like at the moment. Anyway, today's episode is built like the original "An American Warning" episodes, so we can tie a nice little bow on things.

I truly appreciate those of you who have stuck it out with me over the years. Be s...
