The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Jason Leister is a transformational business mentor who helps people align their authentic selves with sustainable success. Growing up in a strict Mennonite household, he started as a "straight-A sheep," pursuing classical music as a pipe organist and following expected paths until life began showing him different possibilities. Through early ventures like selling handcrafted oboe reeds with his wife Marin, Jason discovered his gift for understanding how to package and position people's unique talents. A pivotal moment came when losing a $200,000 retainer pushed him to start writing daily emails – a practice he's maintained for 13 years, helping him connect deeply with clients while serving a broader audience. The birth of their first child catalyzed major life changes, leading Jason and his wife to question conventional systems and structures. They chose home births, homeschooling, and alternative business models through private membership associations, crafting a life aligned with their values rather than societal expectations. Now based in Hawaii with their ten children, Jason has built a business helping others bridge philosophical principles with practical expression. He works with clients who discover him through his daily writings, guiding them to recognize and monetize their authentic gifts. Looking ahead, Jason continues to evolve while maintaining his core mission: showing people how to succeed by being truly themselves. His approach emphasizes that each person's path is unique, and success comes from aligning with one's natural rhythms rather than following prescribed formulas.

Rachel Elnaugh-LOVE is a former Dragon's Den investor and entrepreneur who founded Red Letter Days, pioneering the experience gift industry in the UK. Growing up above her father's electrical shop in Essex with four brothers, Rachel developed strong business instincts early on. After receiving multiple university rejections, she found her way into accountancy, which provided vital financial expertise for her future ventures. At age 24, Rachel launched Red Letter Days from a simple idea about gifting experiences, growing it into a multi-million pound market leader. However, in 2005, while caring for her newborn baby, she faced the devastating loss of her company through what she describes as a "corporate mugging" by fellow Dragons Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis. This profound setback led Rachel to transform her perspective on business and life. She began speaking at events, wrote a book about business failures, and discovered her talent for mentoring other entrepreneurs. Her journey deepened further through exploration of plant medicine, shamanic practices, and spiritual development. Today, Rachel combines business mentoring with metaphysical teachings, helping others achieve transformation through what she calls "flowing with the universe." She recently launched a 90-day transformation program and lives by the ocean, where she's developing an online series about effortless and joyful business creation. Her story exemplifies how perceived failures can lead to profound personal and professional evolution.

Mark Franklin is a former corporate executive turned personal development coach whose path has been shaped by creativity, crisis, and transformation. Growing up as an only child, he channeled his imagination into art and drumming, eventually performing in West End shows including The Lion King, before settling into what he thought would be a "proper career" in business. His 22-year corporate journey led him to become Managing Director of a sales division, where he discovered his gift for helping others grow. But the combined pressures of Brexit, pandemic-era business challenges, and the sudden loss of his best friend in 2021 triggered a mental health crisis that forced him to reevaluate everything. After seeking help through cognitive behavioral therapy and taking time to heal, Mark realized his true calling lay in helping others overcome what he calls the "four fears" - not being ready, not feeling good enough, not having enough time, and fear of failure. His family celebrated "getting their Mark back" when he finally left corporate life behind. Today, he measures success not in financial terms but in the freedom to help others write better stories for their families, combining his storytelling background with personal development to transform hesitations into strengths.

Niki Sterner is a performer and transformation coach whose journey from perfectionist athlete to authentic storyteller was shaped by unexpected health crises. Growing up in Montana as a competitive athlete and valedictorian, childhood trauma and societal expectations led her to suppress her true calling in performing arts, despite early signs of her passion—from dance team captaincy to leading roles in school plays. A series of health challenges became her wake-up call. After experiencing breast implant illness and a severe mold exposure that forced her family to abandon 90% of their possessions, Niki finally found her voice and the courage to stand up for herself. This physical crisis sparked a deeper healing journey, leading her to develop the "Confidence Shortcut"—a three-step process of clarity, mindset work, and courage-building that helped her reconnect with her authentic self. Today, Niki brings light and laughter to others through stand-up comedy and is premiering her first short film. Her approach combines daily mindset practices, strategic goal-setting, and her "three seconds to yes" philosophy to help others overcome their limiting beliefs. Her story demonstrates that our greatest setbacks often guide us back to our truest path—if we have the courage to embrace them.

Lily Shaw is an Indian-born actress and content creator whose journey embodies resilience and creative expression against formidable odds. After losing her father in a tragic accident at age fourteen, she emigrated to America with her family, seeking escape from the cultural limitations placed on fatherless daughters in Indian society. In America, Lily faced unexpected challenges when her own relatives subjected her and her family to racism and abuse. Despite excelling academically and discovering her talent for performance early—spontaneously dancing to street drums at age three—she found herself navigating complex cultural dynamics both at home and in Hollywood. Through fifteen years of family abuse and professional setbacks, Lily turned to spiritual healing to reclaim her power. She developed a unique approach to "reparenting" herself and healing her inner child, choosing to channel her experiences into advocacy rather than bitterness. Today, Lily creates content helping others navigate abusive relationships while pursuing her acting career. Despite being "on the wrong side of 30s" by industry standards, she maintains her ambition, drawing a cricket analogy that she hasn't even had her chance to bat yet. Her story demonstrates how personal trauma can be transformed into purpose through perseverance and authentic self-expression.
