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.

Every year I dust off my LinkedIn™️ crystal ball and look at what changes I think we will see on the platform over the coming year...every year I get it spectacularly wrong! I like to think I'm ahead of LinkedIn Corp' with my thinking because often my predictions eventually come to fruition a few years later! Either way, it's always fun to do and gets us thinking about what we want from LinkedIn™️ (in truth I produced a wishlist rather than a list of predictions, this year is a bit of a mix)

So here are my predictions and wishes for this year...

What would you spend your time doing if you only had one hour on LinkedIn™️ per week? Is it possible to have impact in that time? A recent interaction led me to think about this topic.

That plus Two new features Your plummeting SSI means nothing! How much?! Is LinkedIn™️ Recruiter overpriced? Premium Duo pricing announced Top Voice requirements are tightened. Post of the week…

How To Fix The Services Marketplace! 44:01

год назад44:01

44:01

LinkedIn™️ say that 10 million users have a services page, a 48% increase year on year. But the vast majority of those profiles aren't really freelancers or even service providers! In addition, LinkedIn™️ are stating that there has been a 65% increase in service enquiries. My experience tallies with this but the enquiries are almost mostly inappropriate & irrelevant! Services has so much potential but it's LinkedIn™️'s worst feature...poorly designed and implemented. This is what I think they could do to improve it.…

You can be great at posting content that engages an audience, you can have a highly impressive profile and you can be amazing at searching for the right contacts ...you can be a LinkedIn™️ superuser!

"I just don't have the time to post on LinkedIn™️. It's not that I undervalue the benefits, it just takes me far too long because I overthink it" This came from a delegate on a course I delivered recently and it hit me right between the eyes...That's why so many people find it hard to find the time to post content, they overthink it! Also in this episode; Feedback on pods and direct messaging. How demure and mindful is your profile? I found out and got roasted! More changes coming to video content and Livestreaming...potentially.

Serious question...why do you do it? What are your objectives and are you achieving them? This week I received a message which challenged my views on posting content on LinkedIn™️. I disagreed with the points made but that doesn't make them wrong or inappropriate, just different and a good challenge to my thinking. So I thought I would share my thoughts in this weeks episode. That plus; Drafting a post with AI✧ Premium perks Forwarding DM's More thoughts on organic reach (the lack of) Post of the week…
