  • Episode 60: What You See Depends on Where You Stand - How Perception Shapes Reality
    Oct 8 2025

    In this eye-opening episode of The Collective Perspective, we dismantle the idea that “ugly” is objective. From social media filters to public opinion, from art critiques to self-doubt, we ask: Who decides what’s beautiful and why do we care so much? We explore how perception shapes our reality and how calling something “hideous” might say more about the observer than the observed. Whether it’s politics, art, body image, or identity, this episode challenges us to examine the lens we use before labeling the world around us.

    ✨ Featuring real stories, cultural insight, and some hard-hitting self-reflection this one’s for anyone ready to question the narrative and fix the filter in their own eyes.

  • Episode 59. Self-Control is a Superpower (You Just Forgot You Had It)
    Sep 24 2025

    In this raw and relatable episode of The Collective Perspective, Jeff and Travis get real about something most of us don’t want to admit: we’ve got a self-control problem — and it’s showing up everywhere.

    Whether it’s flipping out in traffic, clapping back online, losing it with your kids, or snapping during a live gig when your gear starts acting up (yes, even the light in this episode gave us attitude), self-control is that hidden skill we know we should have… but rarely do.

    This isn’t a TED Talk on mastering emotions — it’s a grounded conversation about recognizing your breaking point, owning your triggers, and laughing at yourself along the way. From production malfunctions and tech stress to everyday moments where we let impulse win, this episode unpacks how faith, emotional awareness, and humility play into keeping your cool in a world that thrives on outrage.

    We’re not offering a 10-step fix. We’re handing you a mirror and saying, “Same, bro.”

    If you’ve ever yelled at a paper towel dispenser, snapped during soundcheck, or sent a text you immediately regretted, you’re not alone — and this one’s for you.

  • Episode 58: Float Gentle, Strike True: What Muhammad Ali Got Right About Strength
    Sep 10 2025

    Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Muhammad Ali’s iconic words remind us that true power isn’t just about force — it’s about finesse, timing, and the courage to stay calm when the world wants you loud. In this episode of The Collective Perspective, we dig deeper: What does gentleness look like when you’re under pressure? How does it shape trust, defuse conflict, and strengthen our relationships when life gets loud and messy?

    We explore how gentleness isn’t weakness — it’s quiet strength in action. From daily conversations to moments of real confrontation, learn how to respond instead of react, stand firm without shouting, and use gentleness as a force for good in your family, friendships, work, and community.

    This is the power of staying soft when the world goes hard — and why that might just be the bravest thing you can do.
