Not gonna lie, when the writing staff saw the phrase “energy audit” pop up in the podcast this week, we became very concerned that The Overlap Podcast might now be some sort of digital media arm of the Church of Scientology and that our boys Sid and Keith were now being held on some ocean liner being tested for thetans (the remnants of immortal spiritual beings that have some sort of supernatural residue in humans … or something) and hanging out with John Travolta and Tom Cruise. We are pleased to report back this is not the case, though we do feel compelled to say that we do believe Shelly Miscavige is obviously still alive and has been on one of the Sea Org cruises for … like 17 years now and just doesn’t like land and has developed agoraphobia … totally plausible.

So, instead of indulging in L. Ron Hubbard’s tax dodge … er … religion, we’re taking a deep dive into the exciting enclave of energy - how we generate it, how we expend it, how we best distribute it and how Reddy Kilowatt, the mascot designed in 1926 for Alabama Power, might be the most terrifying company mascot of all time (note: we will do three of those things in the podcast this week; one of them is food for thought we will explore further in the future unless that demon power bug murders us in our dreams Freddy Kreuger style). Aligning your energy with your core values, revitalizing your routine, finding ways to develop lucid dreaming to avoid ancient power company mascots trying to unalive you in your sleep … great advice for your everyday life that’s practical, applicable and necessary to avoid an untimely end for you and your business.

Tune in and turn up this week’s Overlap Podcast … and remember, Shelly Miscavige is definitely still alive. Definitely. We would never say anything to the contrary. Ever. So leave us be, David.

Do you remember back in the late 20th century when people would go on vacations to exotic locales like Paris, London, Rome and Des Moines, Iowa, and would make sure to take hundreds or even thousands of photos of said vacations? Do you recall that they would take the plethora of photos and have them turned into slides that could be inserted into a projector and displayed on a large surface so that all of their family and friends that didn’t go on the exotic vacation to Des Moines could now see every moment and have it painstakingly narrated by those people who did go? Maybe your brain has blocked that painful, anxiety inducing experience from your memory, your subconscious protecting you from the trauma you experienced therein.

But Writing Staff of the Overlap Podcast, you say, what does this have to do with this week’s episode of the Overlap Podcast? And we reply - oh, we mention that for no reason whatsoever, completely random and errant thought, sorry to bother … oh, and Keith just got back from a conference out in the Mountain West. So, yeah, no correlation at all…

Yes, in this week’s episode, our boys Sid and Keith will be diving and delving into the topic of “Beginning With the End in Mind,” something that Keith gleaned from the aforementioned conference … or it could possibly be one of them found that guide to the afterlife book from the movie “Beetlejuice,” because that definitely sounds like the title of that tome…

So, tune in this week to find out whether the Overlap Podcast is about something Keith learned at a conference or if it’s a spooky show about exploring beyond the veil of death. Either way, we’re certain you’ll enjoy the show.

For this week’s episode of the Overlap Podcast, we take part in a business practice used by some of the most successful television series of all time - Frasier, Friends, All in the Family, The Simpsons, Starsky and Hutch, The A-Team and, of course, Shining Time Station. Oh, yeah - you guessed it - it’s a clip show.

Enjoy this week’s cornucopia of commentary on leadership in all its forms and facets as we bring you the best of our boys Sid and Keith.

Tune in and turn it up, loyal listeners.
