Narrative Competence in a World of PowerPoint
In a time of low-trust, and high-stakes human engagements, what got you here, won’t get you there. The Churn of disconnection and the over-reliance on short-form, transactional communications like PowerPoint is causing us to leave all kinds of social capital value on the table. It’s time for a deeper skillset to own every room…it’s time for NARRATIVE COMPETENCE.

Never Again - Not On My Watch
A special Rooftop Tribute to the sacrifice of the post 9-11 Warriors and Intelligence Professionals It’s been 22 years and while most of the nation moves on without notice, the scars of 9/11/2001 still run deep for those who responded to the horrible terror attack with the promise: "Never Again, Not On My Watch." What can we learn from it? Where are we today? Where do we go from here? These and many other questions are addressed in this special episode. Let’s get to it. Nobody else is coming.

Trance State and Contempt
Have you noticed how much conflict is out there these days? The Churn. It’s a real issue. The Churn sucks us all in and keeps us from meeting our goals. There is more to this than meets the eye.

Some Tough Predictions
What can we learn from the last two years following the botched Afghanistan Withdrawal and the profound division eroding our trust in one another? I make some tough predictions in this episode that can help us lean into solutions abroad and at home. Give it a listen and join us on the Rooftop. I'll see you on the Rooftop...

Nobody’s Coming: It's Just Us...
After witnessing the abysmal institutional senior leadership along political, diplomatic, and military lines, I’m convinced that when it comes to the challenges this country, your community, and your family are facing, nobody’s coming. It’s just us. Bottom - up leadership is needed more than ever to create an upswing of social capital in this time of shadow tribalism. The good news is, this seems to be already underway. Give this podcast a listen, and share with other leaders who are stepping into the arena and leading where our institutions are failing. This isn’t a Democrat or Republican thing…this is an “American thing”. It’s just us. But, I’ll take those odds all day long!I'll see you on the Rooftop... Scott Join Rooftop Nation!

The Last Out from Kabul - A Case Study in Moral Injury (ft. Joe Laude & Aidan Gunderson)
On the 2-year anniversary of the horrific Abbey Gate Bombing, I am honored to have Army Paratrooper Aidan Gunderson and US Marine Joe Laude, join me for a no-holds-barred discussion on what it was like to stand post at HKIA, in the final hours of the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Task Force Lahaina
The Maui wildfires have brought unprecedented death and destruction. Quiet communities who have deep connections to Mother Earth have witnessed the horrors of wildfire and are struggling to emerge from the ashes. But, the resilience of these communities runs deep. Local community leaders self-organized rapidly and started recovery efforts with only basic supplies and have been grinding non-stop for days. If we learned anything from the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, it’s that volunteer groups can rally around a crisis and bring strategic relevance to local leaders. And pre-existing networks can illuminate local issues from the crisis area that warrant international attention. That’s exactly what is needed here. In this short podcast, I interview brothers Zane and Matty Schweitzer who are leading the charge at the local level and you don’t want to miss the perspective they offer. Recommend sharing this podcast with any Government Representatives on Maui to just broaden the perspective to include local context. If you care about what’s happening in Maui, please listen to this special edition of Rooftop and please share it widely. Let’s support Task Force Lahaina.

The Churn Revisited
Have you noticed a change in how people are treating each other? How are we doing on trust these days? Do you see a change in how people engage each other over politics? How do we treat each other on social media?If the answer to any of these questions is negative in nature, you’ve likely witnessed a new phenomenon emerging in our civil society that I call the Churn.It’s the greatest threat we face and if we don’t defeat it, it’s going to take us down.Nobody else is coming.Give this episode a listen and join the Rooftop Movement to lead through the Churn.

Turn the Page
In a recent poll, a majority of veterans feel Americans will move on quickly from the Afghanistan War, and it looks like they already have. As thousands of Afghan Commandos continue to live a life on the run from the Taliban and violent extremists reclaim their safe haven in former NATO bases, America is moving on like it never happened. What is the cost of this approach to turning the page on a 20-year so quickly? And why should we care? The answers might surprise you and be advised…this is a call out to institutional leadership in a big way, as our veteran volunteers continue to carry an insurmountable load and the human toll of this moral injury continues to decimate the ranks of those who served faithfully.

A First Look at "Last Out"
How did “Last Out” get started? Where did the cast come from? How did you find the resources to make this a reality? Are the stories true? How did Gary Sinise get involved? As The Gary Sinise Foundation and The Heroes Journey continues to take “Last Out” on tour around the country, this strategic warrior storytelling project offers a lot of hard-earned lessons, many learned in failure, that you can apply in your own leadership journey. Give it a listen and share with others as this grass roots storytelling movement continues to defeat the odds and take America by storm.
