The Rooftop Podcast

This is probably a question you’ve asked yourself many times when building your movement, or product, or next big thing. When life taps us on the shoulder and challenges us to play a bigger game, this question is usually not far behind. It causes us to question ourselves, our purpose, even our ability. In this final episode of the Rooftop Podcast we explore not just the answer to this universal question, but how you can use that answer as your true north in every challenge you face from here on.     I’ll see you on the Rooftop!   Scott   Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-street   Scottmann.com   Join Rooftop Nation!   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottmann   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOQ7CDJ6uSaGvmfxYC_skQ     Website: https://www.rooftopleadership.com/     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rooftop-leadership     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthor     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthor     Twitter: https://twitter.com/RooftopLeader

As 2024 comes to a close, I think we could all take a little time to reflect on the tracks we’re leaving in this world. The impact we can make on our youth is one of the greatest legacy gifts we can give and one of the highest forms of social capital. Join me for a walk down the driveway to discuss what that looks like in your life!   I’ll see you on the Rooftop.   Scott   Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-street   Scottmann.com   Join Rooftop Nation!   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottmann   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOQ7CDJ6uSaGvmfxYC_skQ     Website: https://www.rooftopleadership.com/     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rooftop-leadership     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthor     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthor     Twitter: https://twitter.com/RooftopLeader

In this time of elections and the churn, I reflect on the past few transformative years—from the chaos of Afghanistan’s collapse and Operation Pineapple Express to the resurgence of my play, Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret. These experiences shaped Rooftop Leadership, a methodology rooted in four pillars: strategic impact, human nature, human connection, and deep work. Drawing from my Green Beret experiences, this approach confronts the disconnection and low-trust environments that dominate today’s world. By fostering meaningful relationships and addressing “the churn” of fear, distraction, and distrust, I aim to help leaders align with their deeper nature, inspire action, and drive profound, lasting change. I'll see you on the Rooftop.

While reflecting on the process of vulnerability in creative work, I shared a story inspired by Bubba, a friend writing about his near-death experience and grappling with fear as he prepares to release his book. I recalled my own anxiety when handing my first manuscript to Steven Pressfield, my literary hero. Despite initial doubts, his encouragement, including offering to write the foreword, changed my perspective. This journey taught me the importance of trusting others with your work and paying forward the support and kindness we receive.   I'll see you on the Rooftop.   Scott   Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-street Scottmann.com   Join Rooftop Nation!   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottmann YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOQ7CDJ6uSaGvmfxYC_skQ   Website: https://www.rooftopleadership.com/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rooftop-leadership   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthor   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthor   Twitter: https://twitter.com/RooftopLeader

As a nation, we can and must use the Green Beret Principles of trust, resilience, restoration, and more to face our foes abroad - and overcome the internal strife that besets American society today.” These are the words from “Hard Truths,” recently released by Congressman Mike Waltz, soon to be National Security Advisor (NSA) under President Trump. This podcast addresses the Hard Truths that Mike Waltz must consider around Afghanistan and the aftermath of the Afghanistan debacle and the “asleep at the switch” consequences of the past Administration. This podcast contains a no-B.S. run down of “hard truths” that speak to one of Waltz’s critical points as the National Security Advisor to President Trump, but also hard truths for you and me. Why? As Waltz Says…”We must be vigilant. Perhaps that is the hardest and most important, truth of all.” Get a notepad for this one. Let’s lean in, set our politics aside, and get focused and loud on these hard truths as we roll into 2025.   Scott   Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-street Scottmann.com   Join Rooftop Nation!   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottmann YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOQ7CDJ6uSaGvmfxYC_skQ   Website: https://www.rooftopleadership.com/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rooftop-leadership   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthor   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthor   Twitter: https://twitter.com/RooftopLeader
