Welcome to Episode 10 of Tide Talk — the 15-minute podcast series from Ride The Wave Foundation, hosted by Jeff Fisher and Javon Blue.
This episode is all about being unapologetically yourself.
💡 The Wave Maker principle Be Genuine and Authentic is more than a feel-good phrase. It’s a transformative leadership value — one that builds trust, forges connection, and inspires movement.
In a world full of filters, false personas, and pressure to conform, Jeff and Javon dive into the beauty and boldness of leading with authenticity.
🎧 In just 15 minutes, you’ll learn:
• Why faking it kills trust (and connection)
• How to step into spaces as your true self
• The power of being "outside the box" in mentorship and leadership
• Real-life stories from Ride The Wave’s journey and Jeff’s personal growth
• The emotional, spiritual, and social freedom that comes from being real
📖 Research shows that authenticity is directly tied to higher levels of influence, leadership success, and relational satisfaction. When people feel you’re real, they open up too.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
