This episode was recorded in Casa Escoto in Seattle, WA with my own precious dad doing the intro. You'll hear him on an upcoming amazing episode! If you've ever had problems with a team marching to different drummers...they just can't get along....as a leader, you may need to make sure everyone is on click, not forming their own. What if we all set our own metronomes? Disaster for sure. If you like our podcast, make sure to rate it on Apple, Spotify, or any other major podcast carrier.-The Team at Behind This MicSupport the show (https://paypal.me/GiGProductions?locale.x=en_US)

I Don't Have Quit In Me

People are best equipped to apply what you want to teach them if they have a context for what you are trying to explain. The partnership between a leader and their followers depends not on the information given, but the trust people have for their leader. We set lofty goals; but are we truly making inroads? Or are people just agreeing with us for the sake of unity?Support the show (https://paypal.me/GiGProductions?locale.x=en_US)

Reach / Overreach

This episode is part II of an interview I did with my father, Luis Escoto - my first mentor, leader and pastor. Whether you are a part of a church organization or not, you will enjoy the themes of casting vision, setting goals, caring for people, integrity, accountability and simply, the importance of keeping your word. What a treat I had, connecting the dots between what I believe as a leader and what my father modeled and taught me. There's some cool sound effects throughout, too - because long episodes demand it. Listen all at once or in chapters - this is unforgettable!Support the show (https://paypal.me/GiGProductions?locale.x=en_US)

Leadership Lessons with my Father - Part II

This episode was recorded at my dad's house. It was a fun, blooper filled night (maybe I'll share those later!), but the best thing was that I captured some gems of leadership advice. I'd like to share these with you and later in the season, talk more about some of the themes raised. I'm sure, whether you are a church or other organization, that you will capture the values shown in this short interview. Support the show (https://paypal.me/GiGProductions?locale.x=en_US)
