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.

It’s no secret that hiring has changed over the past few years and it’s harder to hire now than ever before. Or is it… In this solo episode, I break down the challenges small businesses are facing when it comes to hiring (including a shifting power dynamic) and discuss the rise of the “belief-driven employee” and what employees really want.

Contrary to popular belief, today’s employees aren’t lazy or unmotivated, they just have a different values-system and their wants and needs are changing. As employers, it’s our responsibility to listen to those wants and needs and design our company cultures and work opportunities to meet them if we want to stay competitive and be able to hire the best of the best. I wrap up the episode by going into detail about the essential hiring foundations you must have in order to connect with the right candidates and compel them to join your team. If you’ve been frustrated with the hiring process lately and are feeling less-than-thrilled with the candidates you’ve been interviewing, this episode is for you!

Are your money emotions holding you back? On this episode of The Impact Ripple Podcast, I sat down with my friend and Financial Coach, Keina Newell, founder of Wealth Over Now, to talk about building generational wealth, creating a values-aligned budget that feels liberating, and making investments that deliver more than just a financial return. Keina shares about the way the emotions we associate with money can hold women business owners back and practical steps you can take to build generational wealth and abundance. She encourages women to create a budget that aligns with your values and goals, which can feel more liberating and empowering rather than stifling and restrictive. Keina also shares new ways to think about the return on your financial investments, which go beyond simply making more money. Our conversation then shifts to the challenges that women face in hiring help for their businesses, and how to see the return on investment of outsourcing in non-financial terms. Keina shared the importance of creating a "Hell No” and “Hell Yes" investment list for personal and business expenses, which can help you become more aware of your spending habits and make more intentional decisions with your money. Additionally, we talk about the guilt and shame that can sometimes creep up when buying things we don’t need or use, and the benefits of auditing our life and expenses to save money. This conversation with Keina is an honest look at the way we think and feel about money, practical advice, and inspiring mindset shifts for women business owners who want to create financial abundance and freedom in their businesses and their lives. In this episode, you’ll learn: The emotional connection with money and how it can hold women business owners back. The importance of creating a budget and how it can be liberating when you align spending with your values and goals. The mindset shift needed to see a return on investment that goes beyond just a financial return. The challenges that women face in hiring help for their businesses and how to overcome them. The concept of a "Hell No” and “Hell Yes" investment list to make more intentional and conscious decisions with money.

We discuss the impact that our beliefs and mindset about money can have on a business owner's ability to grow their business and manage their finances. Christine begins by sharing her journey to becoming a financial coach, including how the events of 9/11 influenced her decision to leave investment banking and work in a more impactful way. She emphasizes that money is infinite and can be created, and that recognizing one's creative power and taking responsibility for it is absolutely essential. We also delve into the topic of when a small business owner should hire their first employee. Christine and I agreed that being intentional in the hiring process is key and that there is no perfect answer. (I know, womp womp!) Rather, it’s about looking at the big picture and the numbers, as well as your own feelings, which can help business owners make more informed decisions. We also discuss starting with part-time or contractor positions to build up financial support and ensure sustainability for the business. Throughout our conversation, Christine offers helpful mindset shifts for overcoming financial fears and maximizing team potential and return on investment.

Hey leader, if you find yourself in need of a dose of heartfelt goodness and encouragement today, take a listen to this episode of The Impact Ripple podcast with my dear friend and coach, Lee Chaix McDonough. Lee is the Founder of Coach with Clarity, where she helps women in helping professions create flexible and meaningful businesses that serve their people and support their families – without selling their souls. Interest peaked? I thought so! ;) Lee shares her personal journey from being a psychotherapist living overseas with her family to supporting her husband in his business venture and eventually starting her own coaching business. We discuss the cyclical nature of business and how entrepreneurs can navigate challenging times through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness. I love Lee’s analogy that just like the earth needs fallow periods for the soil to regenerate, businesses also have periods of growth, harvest, and fallow seasons where things may be tough. Yes, even the multi-6 and 7-figure businesses out there. She advises entrepreneurs to show up and do the work, trusting that the cycle will continue and growth will come again. We also dive into Lee's book, Act on Your Business, which addresses the principals of meaning, mindset, and mindfulness through an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) lens. Lee shares that she wrote the book for herself and her clients as she found that ACT principles were applicable not just in a therapy room, but in life and business. We discuss the importance of values in our personal lives, businesses, and families and emphasize that living a value-oriented life is simple but not easy, as sometimes our values can clash and compete with each other. Finally, we talk about coaching styles and the importance of understanding our own coaching style as leaders to best support and guide our teams. This episode is one of those feel-good conversations that will leave you feeling inspired and motivated in life and business. In this episode, you’ll learn: The cyclical nature of business and how entrepreneurs can navigate the challenging times with meaning, mindset, and mindfulness. The importance of values in life and business and how to prioritize them globally, as well as in the moment. The benefits of knowing and understanding your coaching style as a leader to better support and guide your team.
