The Rooftop Podcast

When the going gets rough, we go tribal. We are primal by nature as the evolution of brains and DNA has not caught up with the modern world. We are essentially, "Well Dressed Neanderthals". It's Firepit Friday, dig in with us and let's talk tools to deal with our primal selves and those around us.I'll see you on the Rooftop,Scott Join Rooftop Nation!

 In this transactional world, leaders are often de-valuing the very skills they need to get big sh*t done when nobody is coming to save you. Known often as “soft skills,” the power of inter-personal connection and influence is often trivialized in favor of coercion and various forms of “because I said so, dammit.” In low-trust times, that’s what amateurs do. Pros know that the soft skills are actually HARD SKILLS. Join me in this episode and see why! I'll see you on the Rooftop, ScottJoin 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

Many of us look at what's going on around us and feel as if it's too much. So much noise. So much division. The divisionist leaders are driving to separate us, to foment instability in the public arena as well as our personal lives. You know this isn't your path. You know there is a better way. You know that you can help lead us into better days. But, how? How do you get big sh*t done when things are really challenging. I've spent the last thirty years of my life living into this question and answering it with action and deed. We need you. We need what you've got. Join me in this episode and let's get after it. 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

Leadership - at an institutional level - is in short supply these days. Whether it’s media, Congress, or the corporate world. Having a big heart and the moral courage to bridge across gaps and stand for the greater good is something that I’ve always admired in leaders. We need more of them in politics. Party means little to me; I’m looking for leaders who stand for something bigger than themselves, and I hope you are too. Please join me in this special interview with Green Beret, Colby Jenkins, an old friend, who proved himself time and again in combat and is now running for Congress. I’d ask you to focus less on the partisan noise  that’s going on in the political arena and more on who these people really are. Colby will show you he is seconds into our talk.

How do we serve others through storytelling when the stories scare the hell out of us?!This is something I’ve wrestled with since I became a storyteller. The answer is, that we lean into it and realize that it’s not about us…it’s about the listener, even if we are the protagonist in the story. I’m so excited to share with you our 300th episode of the Rooftop Podcast and even more excited that this episode features Dr. Kate Pate and her amazing view on mental health and storytelling. You don’t want to miss this one. Give this fire pit edition a close review and please share widely. I’ll see you on the Rooftop. Scott 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

Starting on September 11th, 2012, al-Qa'ida carried out a series of terrorist attacks on the U.S. Consulate and CIA Annex in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.  And yet, the case remained unsolved. The terrorists were never brought to justice because they had not been identified, until now.Two former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Officers involved in the Libyan crisis before, during, and after the attacks decided they would not allow an al-Qa'ida terrorist attack to become a cold case.Sarah Adams and Dave ‘Boon’ Benton have worked for years to bring to justice the attackers, to honor their friends and co-workers that were lost that day. Today they join us by the fire-pit to share their story and tell us about their amazing book, and to provide a rare inside glimpse into the world of terrorism and how many of these same terrorists are at this moment, training and planning the next attacks on the Western World. I'll see you on the Rooftop... Scott Benghazi: Know Thy Enemyhttps://a.co/d/dPgYtkp @askarimediagroup on Instagram Free Most Wanted Benghazi Photo Lineup👉The PDF file is in a Proton Drive and available here: https://drive.proton.me/urls/7YJ7GN27BC#jTq31d7bSjj6 Master List of 2012 Terrorists: https://askarimediagroup.com/updates To provide tips on any terrorist in Benghazi: Know Thy Enemy email: gazitips@proton.me 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

Did we learn anything from 9-11-2001? More importantly, did we learn anything from the events leading up to 9-11-2001?For months, prior to the attacks, the leader of the Afghan Resistance Movement, Ahmad Shah Massoud tried over and over again to warn the U.S. and the West of an impending attack by al Qa’ida. His warnings were ignored as he continued his fight against them and the Taliban with almost no support from the U.S.Just days before the worst attack on our homeland, Massoud was killed by suicide bombers dispatched by bin Laden. AQ knew we would come to Massoud after the attack attempting to partner since we had no other allies in the country.After the botched Afghan Withdrawal, over 27 violent extremist organizations have flooded back into the country, training on the former Coalition Bases, under the tolerant protection of the Taliban, and in flagrant violation of the International Doha Agreement.Ahmad Massoud, the son of the Lion of the Panshir, continues the fight. For the first time he appears on a public broadcast with a U.S. elected official, Green Beret Congressman Mike Waltz. They are joined by the Afghan-American, former Army NCO - Legend - who has returned to Afghanistan multiple times to help evacuate at-risk Afghans and American Citizens.The topics in this podcast will blow your mind. What’s happening in that terrorist playground is beyond the pale.Will we learn from our past? Do we even care?
