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.

Businesses have inertia. That means they're hard to get moving, but it also means it's hard to stop them once they're rolling.

EP61: "I made this for you. Do you want it?" 11:05

6 years назад11:05

11:05

I stole that line from Seth Godin's new book, "This is Marketing." That one phrase -- "I made this for you. Do you want it?" -- captures so much about what it takes for new (and established) business owners to get out of their heads and into the real work of marketing. Episode 61 talks through the vulnerability and confidence it takes to stop fretting at your desk and start talking to the people you hope to serve.…

EP60: A class for new coaches -- when to hire someone to do work for you, when to do it yourself, and when to hire a coach to guide you. 15:46

I've been teaching some class to new (and new-ish) life coaches. In this episode of the show I pulled a 15-minute segment out of one of the classes where I talked about how new coaches should think about spending time versus spending money versus hiring coaches as they get their business off the ground.…

This is your reminder to ignore anyone (including yourself) who might say "It's too late. The market is saturated. There's too much competition. Everyone who is going to succeed already succeeded."

EP54: The numbers are neutral. Our thoughts about the numbers are not neutral. 11:41

If you show ten different business owners the same set of financials, you'll get ten different opinions about what the numbers mean. This is proof that the numbers are neutral -- they only get their meaning from us. Episode 54 explains why this is such a crucial insight.

I went to a six-day life coach training this week. The content was amazing, the connections and conversations were even better. There's nothing like getting into the same physical space as your ideal clients, spending quality time, and building relationships.

Last week I told you to set rules and guidelines for how you deliver your service. This week's message is to keep your mind open and change those rules when you realize they're built on faulty assumptions.

EP50: Why the rules and boundaries you put in place for client work protect your clients more than you (and that's a good thing). 13:19

13:19

I have a few rules (maybe more like best practices) I use in my service to ensure high quality and limit mistakes. On occasion I've broken those rules with the idea that I'm helping the client out. The reality is when you break the rules that protect the quality of your work, it's the client that suffers.…
