  The Soundtrack of Leadership: What Music Teaches Us About Leadership and Culture explores our deep connection with music and how music shapes our leadership values and our relationships. It parallels the evolution of a band-from preparing yourself as a leader, to choosing your bandmates, to writing music, to playing stadiums, and to managing stardom-with the leadership and cultural evolution of an organization. Each stage of the evolution combines music storytelling with practical insights on how to be a better leader, build a better culture, and navigate the inevitable challenges along the way. As you evolve as a leader, you'll learn to keep your team focused and aligned with your organization's mission, values, and purpose, ultimately creating a soundtrack that keeps everyone in tune. Music is one of the greatest gifts we have in this world-it not only brings us together, it can make us better leaders too.

  Happiness Included - Jan Brady...

  It’s finally time for Jan, Jan, Jan!  
    
  As Jan Brady, America’s most memorable middle child on the beloved TV sitcom, The Brady Bunch, Eve Plumb has been an enduring icon of American pop culture for over 60 years. Now in an engaging, intimate memoir, she shares the behind-the-scenes story of her colorful and impressively versatile Hollywood career and revelatory recollections of her off-camera life along the way. 
    
  Recognized worldwide as Jan Brady, the wonderfully misunderstood middle sister on television’s The Brady Bunch, actress Eve Plumb has embraced the association that seemed destined at age 10 when she was cast on The Brady Bunch. Her engaging memoir reveals that her stint on The Brady Bunch was only the beginning of her career, a young lady with the confidence and spunk that her on-screen character often humorously lacked.  
    
  Eve Plumb’s six decades as a TV and stage actress reads like a veritable history of the golden age of TV. Her career began when a talent agent in her neighborhood suggested that the six-year-old audition for a national TV commercial. Within a year, Eve was being cast in guest star roles, often multiple episodes, in the top TV series of the '60s and '70s. 
    
  Following five seasons of ABC's anchor Friday night show, The Brady Bunch, and recording albums and touring nationally with The Brady Kids singing group, Eve was cast as the lead in Dawn, Portrait of a Teenage Runaway, at age 17.  A dramatic departure from the sweet Brady family, the NBC hit TV movie came with a “parental discretion” warning in the opening titles. The movie’s success sparked the highly rated sequel with Eve Plumb: Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn. 
    
  Continuous guest star roles filled her young adult life as an actress on highly rated TV shows, including The Facts of Life, One Day at a Time, Fantasy Island, and a multi-episode sitcom called The Brady Brides, featuring Eve as a young newlywed, along with Maureen McCormick from the original series. 
    
  Eve brought her acting experience to the New York stage. Tony-winning Broadway Producer Ken Davenport cast Eve in the lead role for the Times Square debut of Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage, with a six-month run.  
    
  Chock-full of Brady Bunch nostalgia and the skinny on countless classic TV shows with recollections straight from the set, this is Eve Plumb as you’ve never seen her.

  Taste in Music - Eating on Tour...

  Through original essays and engaging conversations with dozens of indie musicians representing several subgenres, scenes, and eras, food takes center stage in stories about being on tour and eating on tour and how this basic human necessity can create a sense of community and interconnectedness in one of the most mobile industries in the world. Based broadly on the subject of eating on tour, these entries each spin off into their own focused and exciting behind-the-scenes story, but all confirm what Pyenson and Bleeker suspected all along—food looms large in the lives of touring musicians, and it can be used as a gateway into understanding what going on tour is really like. 
   
   
   
  Stories that deal with the best parts of touring: meaningful cultural exchange, hospitality-induced euphoria, and the opportunity to build relationships around the world. And the worst: loneliness, exhaustion, estrangement from family and friends, struggles with disordered eating, and unsteady access to medical care. 
   
   
   
  So the question isn't, "How was tour?" It's, "What do you eat on tour?" Like the best songs or meals, these conversations and essays evoke something central about the human experience. They show us all the ways that music and food bring us together, break us down, lift us up, and add color to our lives.
