On this episode of Let's Pause, we are joined on location at a remote Lake house in the Mountains of New York by three friends, John, Matt, and Clifford. Tune in as we explore the subtle nuances that distinguish one bourbon from another... differences that get harder and harder to detect as the pairings increase! Following our exploratory mixology and our philosophical musings, we press our luck and perform the Five Tibetan Rights (led by John). In the end, this episode is as much about fellowship and connection than it is about insightful bourbon tasting or deep spiritual experiences. Listen in, sip some bourbon in absentia, and start your Tibetan spinning!

Ever stepped out into the unknown? Ever sought to manifest a new future reality? Do you possess the leadership qualities to adapt in a dynamic and often hostile environment? Yeah...me neither. On this episode of Let's Pause, Mark and Jeff explore the world of adaptive leadership, as envisioned by Tod Bolsinger in his book, Canoeing the Mountains. Bolsinger chronicles Lewis and Clark's courageous trek across uncharted territory, and in doing so, siphons away key leadership lessons for organizations attempting to navigate in uncharted waters. Tune in and learn how they did it...spoiler alert, not without the ally-ship and support of knowledgeable indigenous partners and the courage to operate in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environments!

On this episode of Let's Pause, Mark and Jeff welcome Jonathan Lewis, an experienced Police Chaplain and ordained minister of the Wesleyan church. Jonathan serves in many capacities, but we focus on his role in serving those who protect and preserve our community. How does "a man of the cloth" fit in with law enforcement and first responder personnel? Do cops that don't share his religious beliefs stiff-arm his presence? If so, what then? Does he ever get pulled in to policing actions? In the present age of ICE and contentious immigration policies, how does he walk the line? Turn in as we explore the world of embedded chaplaincy in local law enforcement!
