The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

M4A•Головна епізоду

I've been helping my mother in law with a podcast for the last 6 months. Mostly it's been us recording in my office, interviewing her and pulling out her expertise. She's been faithful to show up, but not a lot of results from it ....

... until last night.

She got a new client from it.

And the lesson for me is .... keep putting good work out into the world ... and at some point good things come of it.

I recently (finally) met Kim Doyal and felt instantly like I had missed out on meeting and being her friend sooner. She's filled with incredible wisdom and has such an amazing perspective on this thing called entrepreneurship (as well as life!). Most of this conversation centers on her attitude and approach, particularly starting with having fun ... being more of the authentic you .... and showing up, consistently. Listen in and be better for doing so. Learn more about Kim here: https://kimdoyal.com/ https://contentcreatorsplanner.com/ https://twitter.com/kimdoyal…

Entrepreneurs: How to Decide What's Next 6:16

5 років тому6:16

One of the great questions we ask ourselves but can often haunt us as entrepreneur is: What's Next? Asking "What's Next?" is a great exercise to keep us focused on protecting and growing our businesses. For me, it was about staying relevant in the market and to our customers well into the future. And taking the right steps to ensure our future. I did this "What's Next?" exercise often .... here's how it'd go: FIRST, I started with assessing our current situation. Where are we now? Our customers, our products, our competition? SECOND, I started pushing Fast Forward on it all .... and asked, "Where is it all going next?" To help look into the future ... I'd take those buckets ... customers, products, competition, technology, industry, etc ... and would go ... what would 10X better be for all of it? What's the natural progression of all of this? And I'd play it all out. Hockey great Wayne Gretzky is often quoted that his key to success was that he "skated to where the puck would be, not to where it had been." And from this exercise typically I could see clearer for where the puck was going .... and I'd have 1-3 clear priorities to focus on steer our way forward and "create our future."…

Exercise: How Could You Charge $1500 an Hour for What You Do 3:12

As a starting again entrepreneur, I've been asking myself this question: How could I charge (or get paid) $1,500 an hour for what I do? Two questions for exploration follow that: * Who do I need to become to charge that? Particularly my skillsets, approach, even messaging * What are the results and outcomes I could offer that would be truly transformational at the end of that hour? These questions have been helping me lay out a plan to level up what I'm doing, how I'm talking about it ... but more importantly the transformations I'm offering my clients.…
