    36. Maintenance vs Mission: How Organizations Actually Operate (Solo Show)

    In this solo episode, Wesley explores maintenance mode vs mission mode; two fundamental ways organizations operate and how these modes are quietly shaping behavior, culture, and decision-making across industries and sectors he’s been working in. Drawing from real observations, he shares a working framework for understanding why some systems prioritize stability while others prioritize movement, and why capable people often feel aligned or misaligned inside them.

    35. Nate Mominee - Potency, Autonomy, and Building What Lasts

    In the first episode of the new era of Everybody Else, Wes sits down with Nate Mominee, a custom builder, general contractor, serial entrepreneur, and co-creator of one of Evansville’s most interesting community corners (Spanky’s Pizza, Yoga Space, short-term rentals, and neighborhood development in Haynie's Corner). What begins as a conversation about construction quickly opens into something deeper around awareness as a business advantage, how leaders protect “potency” as systems grow, why “less is more” is often the real scaling strategy, and how community is built through a contagious culture of care and respect, down to the porch-sweeping level.  Websites: https://www.momineehomes.com/https://www.evansvilleyogaspace.com/ Recorded on January 21, 2026 at Wally Opus Sound Studios in Evansville, Indiana._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ This show is supported by Thru-Line Development Company, an advisory practice founded by Wes Luttrell in Evansville, Indiana.

    34. Why Everybody Else Is Opening Up (Solo Show)

    Everybody Else began as a podcast about the invisible people who make music happen, but a deeper through line has emerged over time. The most meaningful conversations were never about job titles, tactics, or tasks, they were about how people think, relate to their work, and carry meaningful responsibility in the complex, ever-evolving music industry. In this solo episode, Wes reflects on that realization and explains why the podcast is opening up to thoughtful conversations across industries as Everybody Else: understanding the invisible people who make life happen.

    33. Ready Before It Happens: What It Takes to Ride the Rocket of Sudden Scale (Solo Show)

    In this solo episode of Everybody Else, Wes explores how readiness and a clear sense of identity make it possible to stay aligned with your role when the chaos of sudden success demands more than talent alone. By zooming in on a defining moment in the early career of legendary rock drummer Sandy Gennaro, the episode unpacks the invisible work (years of repetition, service, and self-knowledge) that prepares a person to carry scale when it finally arrives. It’s a reminder that while talent can open the door, staying in the room requires an entirely different skill set. Listen to the full interview with Sandy's on Everybody Else.

    31. Containment: Managing Energy and Guiding Focus For Clean, Clear Progress (Solo Show)

    In this solo episode of Everybody Else, Wes explores the idea of containment; the often overlooked discipline of managing energy, attention, and focus in moments of pressure. Through a personal story, he reflects on how easily momentum turns into noise when structure disappears, and why clarity often comes from slowing down as opposed to pushing harder. This episode looks at how high performers stay grounded, protect their attention, and create the conditions for clean, confident decision-making.  Recorded on December 12, 2025 at Wally Opus Sound Studios in Evansville, Indiana._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ This show is supported by: Thru-Line Development Company.
