Teri Murphy is back! And this time with her husband, Chris. They are both therapists, and we get into a bit of their story, the idea that we’re not “messed up” - we just sometimes need a shift in perspective, and some of the patterns/needs they’re seeing today. Good talk with good people.

Today is round two of Book Reports, and we’re getting into a banger (we still saying that?): "10X is Better Than 2X." Wanna work less and produce more? And that’s not an MLM pickup line. Jamie’s review leads us into identifying our “wheelhouse,” delegating that leads to others working out of their genius, and a bunch more.

If you’ve listened to previous episodes, you know that Jamie is an avid reader and a recall machine. So, we thought… what if we took some books from the top of his list and just recorded some audio book reports. And if you just got triggered by the idea of “book reports,” just hear us out. We want to redeem that idea.

So, today, we are launching our first episode of “Book Reports,” which will be a series of episodes intermittently inserted into The Thrivalist Podcast regularly scheduled episodes.

First up is a book called, "Resilience: Hard Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life" by Eric Greitens. Enjoy. And let us know what you think!

On today’s episode, we have the honor of sitting down with a legend in the music biz. Michael Blanton has been in the A&R/management side of the music business for almost 50 years. He signed some of the biggest artists in Christian music history (Amy Grant, Michael W Smith, Rich Mullins, and many more).

His understanding of culture and innovation in music and marketing led to a storied career with a multitude of accolades, awards, and platinum records. We get into lots of great stories from his time in that world. Now in his early 70’s, we get the sense that there’s still a lot more to come from Michael Blanton. Enjoy!
