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.

Too many entrepreneurs stay focused on what’s in front of them—getting clients, making sales, and keeping their business afloat. While handling the day-to-day is important, real growth happens when you start thinking long-term, even before you feel ready.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck in survival mode, constantly working but never really moving forward, this conversation is for you. It’s time to shift your mindset, tighten up your business operations, and position yourself for bigger opportunities, even if you don’t feel ready yet. DURING THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: Why you can’t stay in survival mode if you want to grow your business The difference between operating for survival vs. operating for growth How to position yourself for bigger opportunities before you feel ready Simple branding and messaging shifts that can help you attract the right people The systems and habits that make growth and scaling easier Why building relationships can be the key to unlocking major opportunities How to start thinking like a CEO and making long-term decisions for your business Opportunities won’t wait for you to feel ready, you have to prepare in advance.

In this episode, we’re breaking down exactly what you need to document, which tasks you should offload first, and how to set your business up so that when the time comes, bringing someone on feels seamless instead of chaotic. If you want to scale your business, create more impact, and avoid the stress of scrambling to train someone in the middle of overwhelm, this episode is for you. We’re giving you a step-by-step plan to prepare for growth now so you’re ready when the right hire comes along.
