Jon me as I interview leadership expert and author, Jonathan Raymond. What is Refound? As someone who cares about people, leading a team can get very confusing. Where do you draw the line between demanding results and making space for people to grow? How do you keep up with the incredible pace of technology change without driving everyone on the team nuts?  And how do you take care of yourself in the process?  It’s in learning how to navigate these questions that lie the answer to the most difficult problem you have—which is how do you get and keep your team on board for the long term. You are not alone in that question. What makes the problem even more urgent is that it’s easier than ever for your best people to go off and do their own thing. That’s why we launched Refound—to show you how to build the kind of culture that offers people a benefit that far exceeds any paycheck—the opportunity to become better at being themselves. My name is Jonathan, and with my business partner Josef, that’s what we do. Refound is an approach that came out of my tenure as the CEO of a global coaching brand. It’s what I’ve learned works—and doesn’t work—if you’re after culture change and brand transformation. And, it’s the listening that Josef has been helping his clients develop since he started coaching back in 2002. He’s helped hundreds of CEOs and company founders to develop the personal skills it takes to lead a team in the modern world.

With 2 decades in the music business under his belt, Philly rock veteran John Faye has truly taken matters into his own hands: his new solo album Meddling Kid (which he is releasing a song at a time until the full record drops later in 2015) is an artistic tour-de-force on which he plays every instrument and sings every note (with the one notable exception of inviting all of his colleagues from his former band IKE to sing gang vocals on his remake of that band's signature hit "Into Philadelphia"). The lead single, "D.N.A.," is a scathing rebuke of skin-deep relationships and snap judgements in the age of Tinder and short attention spans.  John Faye has amassed an impressive musical resume dating back to his major label days fronting 90's alt-rockers The Caulfields (whose single "Devil's Diary" cracked the modern rock top-40, and whose album tracks landed on soundtracks for Disney's "The Babysitter's Club" and "Melrose Place"), to his first solo foray The John Faye Power Trip, which morphed into the aforementioned IKE (who put out 6 full-length records from 2003-2011), and his punk / garage-rock influenced duo John & Brittany, who gained notoriety on the Sirius/XM channel "Little Steven's Underground Garage" and on MTV-u with their video for their song "Paper Planes." Now, in 2015, Faye is forging a brand new DIY path with his new record and live band, fittingly called John Faye & Those Meddling Kids! With sold out headlining shows in their home town and a coveted slot at Radio 104.5's Summer Block Party with Nate Ruess of Fun, The War On Drugs, MS MR, and Civil Twilight, John Faye is poised to bring out the Meddling Kid in everyone within earshot.
