In this episode of the No Neutral Moments podcast, the host welcomes Joshua Norman, a former football player, to discuss his journey from high school to college football, his NFL career, and his post-football endeavors. During the interview, they discuss the rigorous process of being drafted by an NFL team, Norman's high school football career, his recruitment to colleges and ultimately choosing to attend the University of Oklahoma. They also delve into the early days of the football program under Coach Bob Stoops, including the intense training and expectations set by strength coach Jerry Schmidt that eventually led to their national championship win.
Norman also shares his experience transitioning from running back to tight end and his struggles with injuries, bouncing around teams, and eventually deciding to focus on music ministry and a program called SOUL Mission that focuses on building players spiritually and mentally. They discuss the impact of the program on players and the importance of having support from coaches, administration, and nutrition staff.
The interview also covers a book written by Josh called "From the Field to the Firm," which emphasizes the importance of leadership skills and the need to create a culture that values growth and performance. They discuss the importance of small meetings, face-to-face engagement, accountability, and the need to live in the present moment.
Overall, the interview offers valuable insights into the world of football and the importance of building players' character off the field. It is a reminder that there are no neutral moments in life, and that success is achieved through hard work, dedication, and living in the present moment.

9. The best question a C-Suite can ask itself is âHow does the competition kill us?â The problem is most C-suites donât have the balls to ask themselves that question and honestly answer it. Reason #1âŠit will show how their leadership has made them vulnerable and they are not sure they know how to fix it! (2) The answers will demand hard work and most people are trying to slow their churn rather than increase their churn â which will be where you find out who stays and who goes.
I believe this is where coaching is at its best. I agree with Greenleaf when he asserts that a coach does not need to be a subject expert in the industry practice of those he consults and coaches. He needs to be able to view from a somewhat neutral position so as to have no bias filters and then have the ability to speak boldly into the blind spots.
10. Perks and privilege are culture killers. It is amazing how much people pay attention to this stuff and they shouldnât have to.
One of the great habits a successful leader can cultivate is to not look or appear successfulâŠthe Sam Walton story visiting stores.
This is going to sound SO old school but I would encourage leaders to aggressively find ways to look normal and even do more for the âmid-levelâ than you do for yourself.
Walk the furthest to the front door!
11. Forgiveness and bitterness are still tough enemies of joy to fight back. But you have to. Great competition but not great grudges. Revenge will turn bitter eventually.
12. The Five Core Needs are still the five core needs and you ignore them at your peril.
13. Mind Styles still works.

5. The church as I knew it will not be the church as we knew it in the years ahead. Iâm wondering what this will look like while at the same time being more and more certain that this new church will be visible in the marketplace more than the traditional sacred space
6. DEI and ESG are the proof of the right thing being ignored by the best business minds so the worst business minds (government) hi-jack the right thing and turn it into the wrong thing. The turning of the tide on this matter back to the better leadership of business will be a long, hard slog as radical elements (on both sides) have taken the issue and run with it with their viewpoints.
Just like my COVID experiences this is âleadership fulcrumâ issueâŠthe conversation is dominated by extreme actions and reactions. It is up to the best leaders to see beyond the smoke and haze and chart a path that best benefits humanity â capitalism at itâs best.
7. The politics of social media and sound-bites is killing us; and will kill us if we do not find ourselves into a renaissance of thinking leaders who think long and hard before typing, texting and posting. Great thinkers and thought leaders will emerge (I hope); but cutting through the noise will be hard.
8. The extremes are islands of safety where an absence of critical thinking takes place. It takes a brave new group to get off the islands and see what is in the ocean of opportunity and challenge.
I have a PLS friend who has quite the social media presence who says, âStay in the deep end.â Not sure all he means by it but this is true. The shallow end has a lot of noise and a lot of people but the real adventure is in the deep end â and most of life is played in the shallows where so many actually believe they are really deep when they just stick their head underwater.
We need a lot more responding instead of reacting. That means we need thinkers and meditators. Critical, long term thinkers who take very few things at first glance or first blush. This will border on cynicism and negativism but it is really a matter of staying in the deep end and seeking to understand.

Lessons 1â4
The circle of trust is still a small circle and youâd better have one! You can have thousands of friends but the circle of trust is rarely found in the large group who âlikeâ you. This is the Covey idea of circle of concern and circle of influence. Where we spend out time and with whom we spend our time. One of the key disciplines in this space is you must be constantly self-evaluating and correcting. This is not a process that stops â itâs ongoing.The pyramid of performance is a real thingâŠstill!Profit is good but you had better pay much closer attention to the holistic equipping of people or they will dump you. It is no longer about work/life balanceâŠitâs the whole thing or its nothing â except for the 60%! People are looking for something soulish in all that they doâŠthe marketplace is the perfect place for this search to find an answer. The employee has changed and is not going back to being a cog in the machine (even if they are a cog in the machine!). People and organizations have changed. Donât fight it and donât give into itâŠseek to understand how it is manifesting itself around you and be proactive in creating the best atmosphere possible in your âgameâ. -

Spiritual Leadership, by J. Oswald SandersWhat Has Been Occupying My Mind:
The search for the radical middle in every situation; every conversation is so extreme and radical to the right or to the leftas I'm looking for the radical middle, I'm very concerned with the speed that information is coming at us through so many channels (not necessarily facts, just information)Social media is fast becoming a net loser as opposed to a net gainânot everything, but it's cheapening our dialogue; our search for truth is fast becoming an environment of sound bites and half truthsThere's no such thing as an unsacred space or an unsacred moment, but people who behave in unsacred ways in moments we occupy are what desecrates the space. What makes spaces unsacred are people.

Surfing the Edge of Chaos, by Richard Pascale, Mark Milleman, and Linda Gioja
The Path of Least Resistance, by Robert FritzHarvard Business Review articles:
June 1, 2022 | What Leadership Development Should Look Like in the Hybrid Era
It's all sacred because humanity is at the center. And when humanity is involved a space becomes sacredâunless people are acting in an unsacred way.
Culture is a consensus of acted upon values within an organization. The actual values of an organization can be discerned by observing what behaviors and practices are honored and which ones are shamed.
We all know what it's like to be in an environment where values are trumpeted but the actual culture is different.
Ask yourself: What do we actually honor? What do we shame? What do we say we value and what do we actually value?There's a severe disconnect that our businesses often face. Your employees are the ones who see it.

Show Notes:
We cannot separate what has been typically the "secular" (the things you do outside of your religious practice/church life) and the "sacred". The dichotomy has led us to the cusp of a great awakening of the soul in business. There is a longing in the workforce for the soul of business to be as important as the profit of business. We are only as healthy as we are on the inside.
It's very common for boards to come up with "values". Things like ethical practice and integrity are not valid values because the opposite is obviously not what your company is striving for. Those things are a givenânot a stated value. Values are generally cheapened expressions of what is really the soul behind your company.
There is not such thing as a sacred space without humanity in it.
"Your doing always reflects your being." âDr. Kathy Koch
The management craze of the 80s-90s came out of the previous craze of working your fingers to the bone and businesses were trying to shift the marketplace.

Fu was born and raised in mainland China and was a student leader during the Tiananmen Square demonstrations for freedom and democracy in 1989. Fu taught English to Communist Party officials in Beijing for three years while simultaneously aiding the underground church network. He and his wife, Heidi, were imprisoned for two months for âillegal evangelismâ in 1996. Bob and Heidi fled to the United States as religious refugees in 1997 and subsequently founded ChinaAid to bring international attention to Chinaâs gross human rights violations and to promote religious freedom and rule of law in China. ChinaAid, based in Midland, Texas, is an international Christian non-profit organization committed to promoting religious freedom, human rights, and rule of law in China.
Living Lyrics: Poems from Prison

We make significant gains in certain areas of our life: personal, professional, fitness, hobbies, etc. We seem to have this wiring within us that when we get to a certain level, we sort of back away.
Challenges to leveling up:
Comfort: we like where we are and the price to be paid to level up is too great. Vast majority land here and will discover it when they are pressed to level up.Laziness: it is just too hard to requires too much of me â akin to comfortSuccess: been good where I am and sense that I can keep being good where I amFear: I might lose something or someone if I choose to level upâŠthis can be true as some in your circle will not choose to pursue more and will not like what you are doingArrogance: why would I want to get better?Atrophy: a lot of muscle has been used to get to where you are and through a season of comfort (#1 above) the work and effort muscles have gotten a little soft from lack of use. Getting them back into competitive shape will take some timeYou have to decide what it means for you to pursue the best version of yourself in your given season of life, interests, passions, goals and pursuits. It must be a realistic assessment of where you are and where you want to go and in what categories. The key here is where you believe you want to goâŠnot where others want you to go and where you think others want you to go but where you want to go and if you truly want to make the journey.
Some closing advice:
This whole process works best when in alignment with your most closely held values â never give up on the clarity of this part of your journeyPursue this process in âpencilââŠyou will self-edit and adjust through this process. Donât give yourself excuses but give yourself grace to learn and adjust â ExampleâŠrunning a marathon and having to deal with my achilles tendon.Keep the circle of knowing smallâŠthis does not need to be your social media journey but it should be a shared journey; accountability.Keep others in mindâŠJim Collins is right when he says âLife is peopleâ. Itâs true because it lines up with the greatest command to love God and love people. Leveling up is at its best when we keep in mind that to become all we are designed, called and gifted to be directly affects the lives of those around us. We are connected and others get the opportunity to grow when we choose to grow and vice versa.Just donât quit yourself. -

9 Lessons from 2021:
The extremes are dangerous and they are not always the same as convictions.People are not as thoughtful as they should be when it comes to individual liberty, the price paid for it, and how easily it can be eroded or taken away by people in power or by people who say they have your best interest in mind.The extremes all like to claim that God is on their side. Proceed with caution.Great leadership and great management are not the same. They are both a necessity based on purpose and timing.James Bond is dead and that's tough for those of us that were raised on Bond.The vast majority of us unconsciously try to find our way back to the path of least resistance or the one that feels most familiar, comfortable, and safe; this is extremely detrimental to your growth, your excellence, and greatness, but it's a very hard natural tendency to break. The willingness to fight through complacency and mediocrity is oftentimes confessed with full intentions but rarely actually accompanied with follow through.The circle of trust is small, and it is not so much getting smaller as it is getting tighter. It's ironic that we are the most connected generation but we have the least amount of community and the least amount of trust.The only things I control are my thoughts, my words, my actions, and my emotions.Living as a fulcrum is not the easiest position or the most popular to choose, but it is a place where I can foster and create synergy. Synergy: the combined effect is better than the effect of the separate.Reading Recommendations:

Jessi: [email protected]3 buzz words: Vision, Mission, and Culture and they are all dependent on each other (but not equally)
Vision: the big why
Mission: the big how
Culture: the big whoVision is probably the least fluid but the hardest to quantify, and you might be able to feel the vision more than you can see it. Mission is the most fluid, but this is where we get locked down in the method. Culture is the most powerful. The culture that is created in the pursuit of the vision will often times determine if you make it through the mission of the organization.
"Culture catechizes [teaches] us what matters and what views we should take about and what matters. People who want to be connected to their tribe subject themselves to the catechesis all day long, every single day, hour after hour." Alan Jacobs, Baylor University
Management manages the day-to-day, culture challenges the practices of the day-to-day, and leaders steps back to ask what is happening. Be observantly honest for a day.
Culture: beliefs, forms, traits, characteristic features of everyday existence shared by a people of place or time, a set of shared attitudes or practices
No matter you state as the outline of the vision or the mission, it's the cultureâstated or unstatedâthat will determine if either the mission or vision has a chance at happening.
What's the culture around you? Family, career, church? What are you seeing, what's being overlooked, what do you feel, what are the facial expressions? Will you admit it, and does something need to be done about it?
