Welcome to Episode 9 of Tide Talk — a short-form podcast from Ride The Wave Foundation, hosted by Jeff Fisher and Javon Blue.
This week’s principle is critical in today’s world:
👉 Respect Personal Boundaries
In this thoughtful and eye-opening episode, Jeff and Javon explore what it means to truly respect someone’s space — physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
Whether you're a mentor, teacher, leader, or everyday person in conversation with someone new, this episode will teach you how to read the room, assess energy, and show up with emotional intelligence.
🎧 In just 15 minutes, you’ll learn:
• Why boundaries are a sign of respect, not rejection
• How body language, tone, and timing shape safe communication
• Why awareness of trauma and life experience is key to interaction
• Real mentorship stories and social insights based on the Wave Maker principle
• How showing restraint can open more doors than rushing in
📖 Did you know? Research in social psychology shows that people are more likely to engage and build trust when they feel emotionally and physically safe. Respect is the bridge — and presence is the key.

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.
