The War and Treaty Are Getting Carried Away 46:55

46:55

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.

We welcome Alice from The Ethical Move this week on A Smaller Life!

Alice owns a branding firm, and she runs an online community (with the help of dedicated others) that's focused on ethical branding / marketing.

How do we attract customers without using lead magnets?

How can we appeal to our customers without manipulating them?

These are the kind of questions they ask at https://www.theethicalmove.org/

Main Takeaways

current marketing strategies are often deeply manipulating
industry advice that is given is often based on tricking people into buying things
consumerism is not sustainable, not ethical, and it's just straight up harmful in many ways

more take-aways in the shownotes on the website.

"...and that is really where the community is strongest, like the community is really meant to hold that space where we work on our ethical marketing pursuits, because they will last a lifetime. This is a great un-learning and a great re-creating of what we want things to be, you know? Like if we don't use lead magnets, what do we do? If we don't use the typical selling strategies, what are strategies that work, that work more, let’s say cyclically or in a natural connection? What about relationship? I just think branding goes a lot deeper than we think."– Alice Karolina, The Ethical Move

I share how tools like Bullet Journaling and the Year Compass help me process my year, lessons I’ve learned about overcoming self-doubt, and the joy I’ve found in crafting as therapy. Looking to 2025, I’m excited (and a little nervous!) to start a “no-buy year” to encourage mindful consumption. On the business side, I’ll focus on refining what I’ve built instead of chasing the next big thing.

Send me a Text Message. Autumn's gentle embrace brings both warmth and wistfulness, a duality that mirrors the journey through age and identity. As the leaves change, so too does our perspective on self-image and creativity. Join me as I share my personal reflections on maintaining authenticity while confronting societal norms. From reconsidering bold hair colors of my younger days to finding solace in knitting and spinning, discover how embracing change is an art in itself. The cozy melancholy of the season isn't just a backdrop; it's a catalyst for reevaluating how we express our true selves and connect with others who share our vision. Ever thought of taking fashion into your own hands, literally? With Caroline's expert guidance, I ventured into the exhilarating world of sewing to craft my ski wear collection. This isn’t just about making clothes; it's a rebellion against fashion industry norms. Picture ski pants with striking pink accents, crafted from repurposed treasures like a yellow raincoat, and plans for a jacket that speaks volumes in leopard-butterfly print. It's a celebration of sustainability and personal empowerment, proving that the joy of creation is often found in the details of what we make for ourselves. Our podcast community thrives on support and shared journeys. This space is dedicated to those who find their passions in entrepreneurship and creativity, transforming necessities into genuine desires.

Send me a Text Message. I have been running the Business Circle for a few years now and one topic stood out in the most recent Wins + Woes meeting. From this I feel the need to emphasize the importance of a mindset shift. So we talk about why a mindset shift is necessary to encourage you to get out of your comfort zone while still taking care of yourself. Because… if you don’t change anything, nothing will change. So unless you are happy and content where you are as a person and a business owner, this episode is for you! FULL SHOW-NOTES WITH TAKEAWAYS patternshift.fm GET MAILS HERE !

Send me a Text Message. In this episode, I discuss the importance of goal setting for creative entrepreneurship. Drawing parallels between goal setting and preparing soil for a garden, I emphasize the need for alignment with personal values and decision-making to drive business success. I introduce a step-by-step approach to goal setting, starting with personal goals before transitioning to business goals. Practical exercises and worksheets are provided to encourage entrepreneurs to integrate personal and business values into their goals for greater clarity and effectiveness. Highlighting models like SMART, GROW, and WWHW, I emphasize specificity, measurability, achievability, relevance, and timeliness in goal setting. Through examples across various business aspects, I demonstrate how goals can be tailored to individual needs and values. FULL SHOW-NOTES WITH TAKEAWAYS patternshift.fm GET MAILS HERE !
