Welcome to Episode 7 of Tide Talk — a 15-minute podcast series from Ride The Wave Foundation, hosted by Jeff Fisher and Javon Blue.
This week’s principle from the Wave Maker book is all about how we connect — through questions.
❓ Ask with Open-Ended Questions isn’t just a communication trick. It’s a relational superpower.
In this episode, Jeff and Javon dive into:
• The difference between closed and open-ended questions
• How to draw out someone’s story instead of shutting it down
• Real examples from mentorship and street-level connection
• The social value of being open and creating emotional safety in every interaction
• How this principle deepens trust, healing, and transformation
Whether you’re leading, mentoring, parenting, or just trying to connect with people on a deeper level — this episode gives you practical tools to help others feel seen.

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.
