    The Jedburgh Podcast

    The Jedburgh Podcast empowers leaders to achieve success on their journey to transform themselves and their organizations. Creator, Host and Special Forces Green Beret Fran Racioppi interviews the world’s most prominent visionaries, drivers of change, and those dedicated to winning.

    Each episode is an in-depth discussion with trailblazers who’ve earned success through a dedication to talent development, preparation, introspection, and the drive to get things done. Our conversation will empower listeners to define success and operate at an elite level, regardless of the task at hand. 

    In May 1943 the Allied Forces determined a new type of leader was required to win World War II. Operation Jedburgh parachuted three-man teams deep behind enemy lines to win no matter the challenge. Jedburghs lived by the mantra “how you prepare today, determines success tomorrow.”  Today’s leaders are no different.

    Fran speaks with leaders in public service, business, athletics, and academics about their personal leadership stories of success, failure, and the road to continuous improvement. Our discussions focus on the character traits of elite performance used by Special Operations Forces to recruit, assess, select and retain elite performers. Through this lens, we show listeners that success in any field must be earned every day.

    We strive for each listener to take valuable lessons learned and concrete action steps to improve themselves, their teams, and their organizations. Although developed and used by US Special Operations Forces, these characteristics are inherently applicable to building resilient and successful organizations in any sector or industry, as well as in the betterment of our personal and professional lives. 

    The Nine Characteristics of Elite Performance:

    -Drive: Growth mindset, be better than yesterday, continuous self-improvement

    -Resiliency: Perseverance in the face of challenges

    -Adaptability: Adjust one’s behavior to the situation

    -Humility: Recognize that you do not have all the answers; a willing learner maintains accurate self-awareness

    -Integrity: Understand what is legal and correct and align actions and words to both

    -Effective Intelligence: apply one’s experience and knowledge to the situation

    -Team Ability: Prioritize organizational needs ahead of oneself, work as a cohesive unit

    -Curiosity: Exploring the unknown, questioning the status quo in pursuit of better

    -Emotional Strength: Emotional control in stressful situations brings calm to chaos

    Fran Racioppi is the Founder & CEO of FRsix where he leads operations in critical infrastructure projects. He served 13 years in the US Army Special Forces as a Green Beret. Fran is passionate about building the world’s best leaders and the impact our special operators have in service and beyond. He holds a BA from Boston University in Broadcast Journalism and an MBA from NYU Stern, as well as the security industry’s highest accreditation as a Certified Protection Professional.

    The Jedburgh Podcast is an official program of the Green Beret Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to supporting U.S. Army Special Forces Soldiers and their families. The Foundation provides emergency and ongoing support across five pillars: Casualty Support, Health and Wellness, Transition, Family Support, and Gold Star and Surviving Families.

    #007: Modern Manhood - Cleo Stiller Apr 29, 2021
    Show notes

    For centuries society has clung to the classic archetype of men as protectors, providers, hunters, and gatherers absent of emotion and unable to form meaningful relationships. This perception has impacted the interaction and communication not only between men and women but also between men themselves. In today’s world of rising gender equality, many men have lost the ability to understand what it means to be both a “good man,” and a “good human.”


    In this episode, Author & Journalist Cleo Stiller joins Fran Racioppi to discuss her new book, Modern Manhood: Conversations About The Complicated World of Being a Good Man Today, and share her thoughts on the artificially constructed “Man Box” in which too many men are caught. She explains how her work in journalism, culture, and anthropology has explored the less discussed topics of sex, relationships, money, and workplaces. Most importantly, Cleo discusses how the #MeToo Movement can help men become comfortable having uncomfortable conversations through an introspective look at their past behaviors and a willingness to do better in the future.

    -Deep dive into the book’s 8 core topics: Dating, Sex, Work, Money, Parenting, Friends, Self/Health/Porn, and Media.

    -Fran comes to grips with his past poor behaviors and commits to being better.

    -The need for introspection without stigma, blame or judgment to accept that at times in our lives we have not acted appropriately, but we can accept that and move forward.

    -Fran and Cleo break down societal notions that men and women must act in certain ways towards each other; a concept that prevents them from building meaningful relationships.

    -The danger of “locker-room talk” in male-male relationships.

    -The concept of “call up your friend...not call out your friend” for poor behavior.

    -Fran forces Cleo to challenge common stereotypes about women in a rapid-fire opinion game.



    Quotes:


    -”I did not want to miss the opportunity for us to come together and look at our past, future, and not uplevel our behavior.”

    -”Even if you are a good, modern man, you are going to mess up.”

    -”I always say no stigma, no judgement. I trust the viewer to interpret this. Just tell them what’s going on.”

    -”What are the new rules? What can I do?”

    -”They certainly care that they don’t get dinged for something they did in their past.”

    -”The amount of money they made had such an impact on their feeling of worth as men.”

    -”Introspection and communication can change your relationship in meaningful ways.”

    -”Am I not allowed to talk about the bodies of the people I have been with?”

    -”When your friend says something shitty, what they are trying to do is bond with you.”

    -”Everything right now is very awkward and very uncomfortable.”

    -”I am certainly a master at failure. But I am also a master at getting back up again.”

    -”You have to learn how to learn and make it a habit to be uncomfortable.”

    -”Being a surgeon helps me become a better pianist, and being a pianist helps me become a better surgeon. Science and art, precision and creativity, discipline and transcendence. In the end, both are about connection.”

    -"Surgeons, who have to execute prolonged motor performance, often enjoy so-called ‘activating’ music."

    -”Give yourself three goals in life, ideally ones that you are not already excelling in, and make it a point to get better at those. By doing so you will become a better person.”

    -”I am looking for people who are better than me in at least one aspect.”

    -“Find what motivates each member on your team.”

    Your personal brand means everything in digital marketing, especially on social media. But, do you know who your audience is? From her years as a top fashion model, Emily Sandberg Gold knows that building a personal brand takes understanding first yourself, then your audience.

    -”The first relationship you build is with yourself.”

    -”I will pay these contractors twice as much as anyone is paying them and charge clients half as much. That is where I can compete. I can compete on people and I can compete on price.”

    -”As long as I kept my mouth shut, people would project themselves onto me and they would do the talking for me. I didn't have to sell myself, they sold me to whoever.”



    Emily’s Three Daily Foundations of Success:


    -Wake up in the morning and make your bed

    -Call or text three people every morning to create connections with others

    #004: The Enneagram – Psychologist Drew Newkirk Apr 08, 2021
    Show notes

    The characteristics that set high-performers apart fascinate Drew Newkirk, a New York City psychotherapist who uses the Enneagram Theory of personality assessment to help people unlock the secret to achieving their goals. Drew focuses on elite performers’ ability to remain proactive and out front. Rather than being on the defense, he coaches on strategies to push forward while never letting others bring them down.


    In this episode, Drew joins host Fran Racioppi to share his transition from client to the therapist and how he helps others find joy, happiness, freedom, and fulfillment through a quest to understand life’s purpose. An avid music lover, Drew uses music as a language to connect with his clients, as well as to inspire himself and others. He shares his new docuseries called “The Songs That Saved Your Life” where he explores music as inspiration to those who find solace in specific songs. He also debuts his new YouTube channel where he blends lessons from music and literature.

    Highlights:


    -Drew describes how he was bullied as a child resulting in insecurity, which he shielded by developing a “fighter” spirit.

    -Drew provides his theory of life as a table with four legs, each representing a different passion but each needing to remain in balance with each other to find completeness and fulfillment.

    -Fran & Drew break down the Enneagram, it’s nine core personality types, and the primary and secondary wings.

    -Fran describes himself as an “8,” while Drew is classified as a “sexual 4” bringing into the conversation the three centers of “instinct, feeling, and thinking.”

    -Envy is an emotion that Drew describes as his ‘dark passenger’ through which he professes his jealousy for Hugh Jackman.



    Quotes:


    -”Your ‘why’ is the root system. If the tree doesn’t come out of the root system, it is not authentic. If a company is doing it well, they’re putting the ‘why’ first.”

    -”As a man...I resist the idea that I am a scrapper because I think that was about being defensive, feeling insecure, feeling small and weak.”

    -”Your ‘why’ is different than the ‘how’ or ‘what’ you do.”

    -”It’s not if, it’s when. And I have wrestled with that for six years.”

    -”My way of dealing with envy is to get competitive...but envy also drives me.”

    -”The idea behind the Enneagram is that you develop both sides of yourself.”

    -”Most of life's problems are because man cannot sit in a room by themself.”

    -”The purpose is the core, and the ‘what’ is going to follow that purpose if you are doing it right.”

    -“You have this opportunity. Who cares what he says? You have to put this into the universe.”



    Drew’s Three Daily Foundations of Success:


    -Communicate with compassion

    #003: The Boston Red Sox Second Baseman and Broadcaster – Jerry Remy Mar 29, 2021
    Show notes

    In loving memory of our friend, mentor and member of our Jedburgh Team - Jerry Remy (1952-2021). We will miss you.


    In Major League Baseball the glory you see on the field is a very small part of the whole story. As a player, there must exist a dedication to greatness and a commitment to excellence that transcends the field; even at the end of a baseball career. Second Baseman Jerry Remy became a legend in the game and in the broadcasting booth having been inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame, elected President of Red Sox Nation, and his 32 years as the NESN color analyst for the Red Sox.


    In one of his last full length interviews, Jerry shows us how to overcome inexperience and lack of skill by focusing on our core strengths and dedicating ourselves to perfecting the fundamentals. He shares the mentality required to perform in the moment and under extreme pressure, and how we can overcome devastating injury, depression and anxiety. Jerry also explains why the 2004 Red Sox team is the best team in history, how managers have been forced to evolve to coach a younger generation of athletes, and the importance of mentors in our professional and personal lives.


    Read the full episode transcription here and learn more on The Jedburgh Podcast Website.


    Highlights:


    -Jerry shares how nearly being released in his first spring training after being drafted in 1971 forced him to realize how much work was required to be competitive at an elite level and how a dedication to preparation is required to improving his personal skills on the field and in the broadcasting booth.

    -Analysis of playing in an environment like Boston where winning and perfection is an expectation; how do we as leaders consistently rise to the challenge and not be overcome by the moment.

    -As a five-time cancer survivor, Jerry shows us how to take life’s challenges one day at a time and apply focus to small victories that compound to achieve a goal and overcome extreme adversity.

    -Hire for character, train for skill is a fundamental aspect of building elite teams; a challenge NESN accepted when it hired Jerry as the color analyst. -Despite a rough start and inexperience, Jerry explains how we apply our previous knowledge to new tasks and demonstrate effective intelligence.

    -Depression affects even the most elite performers. Jerry provides his lessons on overcoming depression and anxiety when your life is on camera and in the spotlight every day.

    -Based on 50 years of MLB experience, Jerry gives us the inside baseball on the best Red Sox leaders like Jason Varitek and David Ortiz, the best teams, mentors, and the advice he has for the recently retired Dustin Pedroia.



    Quotes:


    -”I had so far to go. My talent was so far below all these other guys.”

    -”If these guys can play there, I can play there. I just have to work harder. I have to do more work. It will all pay off in the end.”

    -”You had to have a short memory because you could really dislike a lot of these guys who wrote some bad stuff about you. You win them over by playing better.”

    -“I was terrible. I was awful. And I wanted to drop it. But I never quit anything in my life.”

    -“They felt like they had nothing to lose and they go on to win this thing.”



    Jerry’s Three Daily Foundations of Success:


    -Preparation

    -A love for the game

    -Be yourself and don’t be afraid to be wrong

    Show notes

    What can business organizations learn from the military when it comes to talent management and leadership development? Those who have been in the trenches, leading people through some of the most difficult and risky missions in the world know that people are everything. Mike Sarraille and George Randle are two of the authors of The Talent War, an incredibly insightful work that examines the parallels between the talent management practices of special operations forces and the most successful organizations in the world.

    Aiming to empower small and medium businesses to achieve excellence every day, Mike and George founded the Talent War Group, a cadre of highly-experienced SOF leaders and business executives who understand the critical importance of human capital management. Listen in as they share some of the principles they talked about in their book as they join Fran Racioppi on this first episode of The Jedburgh Podcast.

    -The keys to introspective leadership and self evaluation on a continuous basis.

    -How the "whole-man" concept requires leaders to evaluate talent on the totality of what they bring to the organization and how they enhance all aspects of the team in addition to their personal skill set or subject-matter expertise.

    Quotes:


    -”A transformational leader builds genuine relationships with their people. They are willing to pay the rent.”

    -”What are we doing? What should we be doing.”

    -”What makes Special Operations so special is that they have to be experts in potential-based hiring.”

    Welcome to the Jedburgh Podcast Mar 15, 2021
    Show notes

    Organizations will fail without transformative leaders. The Jedburgh Podcast is a conversation with prominent visionaries, drivers of change and those dedicated to winning.


    In May 1943 the Allied Forces determined a new type of leader was required to win World War II as an Axis victory seemed certain. These leaders would be assessed using a specific set of character traits, but selected using the “whole-man” concept; a combination of traits needed to simply get things done and win no matter the challenge. Code-named Jedburghs, three-man teams parachuted behind enemy lines onto the shores of occupied France during the nighttime hours before D-Day. Their only directive...Win the war at all costs. With little guidance and scarce resources, 200 specially selected, highly trained, innovative leaders helped turn the tide of the war.


    Hosted by former Special Forces Green Beret, Fran Racioppi, each episode is an in-depth discussion with trailblazers who have earned success through a dedication to talent development, preparation, introspection and the drive to get things done. Our conversation will empower listeners to define success and operate at an elite level, regardless of the task at hand. Jedburghs lived by the mantra that how you prepare today, determines success tomorrow.
