Blue Is The New White Podcast: Episode #180.1

In the latest episode of Blue Is The New White, guest Matt Blanton from Culture To Cash brings a powerful message for business leaders: Elevating consciousness starts with taking a pause. 🌱

Matt dives into the idea that growth—whether personal or professional—isn’t always about massive leaps. Sometimes, it’s about a simple pause, an opportunity to reflect and ask, “What’s next for me?” Whether you’re leading a thriving company or pushing through daily challenges, finding that next step can bring clarity and purpose.

This episode is a call to slow down and recalibrate. Matt shares that growth doesn’t come from rushing forward, but from embracing these pauses to assess where you are and what needs to change. It’s about understanding where you’re heading, no matter where you currently stand on your journey.

If you’re a leader looking to elevate your impact, this conversation is for you. Take a moment to listen, reflect, and, perhaps, find your next step forward.

Who doesn’t like a big time 80s-style guitar solo. I know I do…although I also sit there through thinking about how crappy the player is, dwelling on all the mistakes they make and telling myself I’d do it way better. Guitarists are weirdos I guess.

Anyhoo here’s my mistake filled, arena rocking guitar solo.

This video was filmed on a Canon 80D with Sigma 18-35 lens and audio was done with a Deiety V-Lav into a Zoom H2n.

Thanks for looking and keep on rockin’ in the free world,

Dan.

Double Six Diner - US Car Meeting - Donaueschingen 2009

In the latest Blue Is The New White episode, guest Roland Ligtenberg shared an incredible perspective on expertise: “I’m an expert at nothing, but I’m an expert in learning.” Today, being an "expert" often feels essential, but Roland's approach is a reminder that a learning mindset can be even more powerful. By drawing insights from failures, observing others, and taking lessons from different industries, Roland shows how embracing lifelong learning fuels growth, adaptability, and resilience.

This episode challenges the idea of expertise and shifts the focus toward curiosity, humility, and a willingness to learn. In an industry where adaptability and continuous improvement are key, Roland's words are a reminder that it’s not always about mastering one thing—but about constantly evolving.

Topics Covered:

🔵 Embracing a learning mindset
🔵 Why curiosity drives growth
🔵 Lessons learned from failures
🔵 How to bring value across industries
🔵 The evolving concept of expertise
