The Rooftop Podcast

On the heels of the failed assassination of former President Trump, our country, our communities, our people have been thrust into the Churn of renewed political violence. Caustic commentary on social media, and polarized positions have only heightened the emotional temperature into a trance-state that puts us at a very dangerous precipice of “Shadow Tribalism.”This fear-based trance state is primal and contagious…and without us realizing it, can take us right into darkness.How do we navigate through the noise, distrust, fear, and CHURN to better days?Nobody else is coming. We need leaders without titles or egos right now. This episode breaks down as it pertains to you and me leading the communities serve and the people we love. I’ll see you on the Rooftop! Scott Breathing for Warriors by Dr. Belisa Vranich: https://a.co/d/erWdSox Tribe by Sebastian Junger: https://a.co/d/he9Llw9 Nobody is Coming to Save You (Pre-sale) by Scott Mann: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781668644614/?lens=center-street Human Givens by Joe Griffin & Ivan Tyrrell: https://a.co/d/4LQcj7W Rooftop Podcast "Firepit Fridays: Bonding Trust in a Struggling Economy" https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rooftop-podcast/id1335220538?i=1000646615160 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/herb-thompson-sf2biz_ownyourjourney-leadership-america-activity-7218628923511721988-195D?utm_source=combined_share_message&utm_medium=member_desktop https://www.linkedin.com/posts/matt-williams-3b5521302_america-president-community-activity-7218328294499201024-pplD?utm_source=combined_share_message&utm_medium=member_desktop https://www.linkedin.com/posts/therealbenowen_theres-some-chaos-in-our-nation-and-our-activity-7218067053948104704-S-qZ?utm_source=combined_share_message&utm_medium=member_desktop Own Every Room - https://rooftopleadership.com/owneveryroom/Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-streetLastoutplay.comScottmann.com Join Rooftop Nation! Website: https://www.rooftopleadership.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rooftop-leadershipTwitter: https://twitter.com/RooftopLeaderYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOQ7CDJ6uSaGvmfxYC_skQ    

Are we about to repeat the mistakes of the past? Is there another 9/11 brewing? If so, is our government contributing to this imminent attack? What can we do about it? You and Me?More than you think.Haven't we been here before? We have.Our politicians might be done with the Taliban, al Qaida, and ISIS-K…but they are not done with us. They have followed us home.In fact, the children of our warriors and the children of our enemies are ramping up for the next iteration of this long-term struggle.It’s the rise of the GWOT babies.The GWOT generation isn’t done yet! Building on the momentum that Shawn Ryan has created with the Ahmad Massoud interview, this episode goes deeper and answers the questions of WHAT we can do about what’s happening with violent extremism.This MUST become an election year issue.Check this episode out and keep making your voice heard! Join me on the Rooftop. Scott Own Every Room - https://rooftopleadership.com/owneveryroom/Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-streetScottmann.com Join Rooftop Nation! Website: https://www.rooftopleadership.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rooftop-leadershipTwitter: https://twitter.com/RooftopLeaderYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOQ7CDJ6uSaGvmfxYC_skQ

Podcaster Mike Baker recently analyzed the pros and cons of the Biden Administration creating a partnership with the Taliban in Afghanistan to counter the growing ISIS-K Threat. It seems the Administration is banking on the mutual disdain the Taliban and the USG have for ISIS-K. But, what if that isn’t exactly what’s going on? What if below the waterline, the Taliban and ISIS-K are two sides of the same coin? As Shawn Ryan’s interview with National Resistance Front of Afghanistan Ahmad Massoud points out, that could very likely be the case. Nobody is coming. We might as well break this down. I’ll see you on the Rooftop. Scott Own Every Room - https://rooftopleadership.com/owneveryroom/Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-streetScottmann.com Join Rooftop Nation! Website: https://www.rooftopleadership.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rooftop-leadershipTwitter: https://twitter.com/RooftopLeaderYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOQ7CDJ6uSaGvmfxYC_skQ

You’ve heard me talk about how nobody is coming. That has never been more true than in the realm of national security against emerging terror threats. It seems that only the GWOT Generation is taking the Islamist Terror Threat to heart. And why shouldn’t we? We lived it for 20 years. It’s the GWOT Generation who must be the “canary in the coal mine” for an entire nation who is allowing our leaders to bury our collective heads in the sand. Is it too late? Can we be heard? What can we possibly do that our institutional leaders can’t?This Rooftop Episode explores those questions and much more. The work of the GWOT Generation isn’t finished…not even close.Join me on the Rooftop.Scott  Own Every Room - https://rooftopleadership.com/owneveryroom/ Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-street  Scottmann.com  Join Rooftop Nation! Website: https://www.rooftopleadership.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthor LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rooftop-leadership Twitter: https://twitter.com/RooftopLeader Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOQ7CDJ6uSaGvmfxYC_skQ

This Independence Day has me thinking a lot about freedom and the cost of freedom. My friend Romy Camargo is a wounded Green Beret who was shot through the neck defending America. He’s now paralyzed from the shoulders down and lives on a ventilator. He says that although the injury radically altered his life, "the American people are worth it.” Are we? There is a cost for freedom that’s becoming harder and harder to pay as a civil society. Nobody is coming to make sure we pay it. It has to come from citizens. You and me. Jump into this episode and let’s figure it out together. I’ll see you on the Rooftop. Scott Own Every Room - https://rooftopleadership.com/owneveryroom/Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-streetLastoutplay.comScottmann.com Join Rooftop Nation! Website: https://www.rooftopleadership.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rooftop-leadershipTwitter: https://twitter.com/RooftopLeaderYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOQ7CDJ6uSaGvmfxYC_skQ

We live in a time of transactions don’t we? It seems like everywhere you look, that people are seeking credit instead of credibility. That runs against our nature in so many ways. In a recent trip to rural Tennessee to give a talk to the Rotary Club, I re-learned some powerful lessons on leading without a title when times are hard that my Father taught me many times.It’s a timeless lesson that all of us could stand to hear a bit more.Give this episode a listen and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. I’ll see you on the Rooftop! Scott Own Every Room - https://rooftopleadership.com/owneveryroom/Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-streetLastoutplay.comScottmann.com

How to avoid the SHADOW TRIBALISM of a contentious election and the politics of distrust. Do we even need an introduction for this episode? Probably not. No matter who wins this Presidential Election, we’ll be looking at a very emotionally charged and divided political landscape. If you are interested in how you navigate that at a family, community, work, and national level…join me for an episode that will frame the problem we face in this time of CHURN politics and the innate tools that are available to us, but often invisible when we are in an anger-based, trance state. Let’s get after it. I’ll see you on the Rooftop! Scott Own Every Room - https://rooftopleadership.com/owneveryroom/Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-streetLastoutplay.comScottmann.com Join Rooftop Nation! Website: https://www.rooftopleadership.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rooftop-leadershipTwitter: https://twitter.com/RooftopLeaderYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOQ7CDJ6uSaGvmfxYC_skQ  

The recent verdict in the Trump trials has created another chapter of heightened emotional churn in America and beyond.Regardless of your position on this and a range of other contentious issues heading your way, how you manage your emotional temperature and avoid the trance state that is so prevalent in these turbulent times, is essential to your business success and social impact. And most importantly, how you lead from through this could determine the fate of our civil society.The realities we face, most of them invisible, and the human engagement tools at your disposal, also, largely invisible, need to be considered and acted upon responsibly, by those who would lead our families, communities, businesses, and nation to better days.
