Summary
This week we’re coming at you from Stockholm, Sweden! This episode was captured in January of 2020 while Erwin & Aaron were visiting friends and different churches in Western Europe. While on the road, our father-son duo reflect on the importance of environments and the spaces we create for ourselves, our teams, and our communities.
From seeing the small details, to the people and the attitudes within a space, everything can contribute to an environment. How can we prepare spaces, especially church spaces, to be the most welcoming and uplifting experience for an outsider? Aaron talks about how a church is uniquely positioned to be a communal experience that people rarely find outside in the secular world.
Erwin sees environments as the circumstances that allow a person to be receptive and open to a positive experience and positive outcomes. Leadership is about creating these kinds of environments that create great spaces and set your teams up for success.

| 0:00.0 | And the Hi, my name is Air McMahonis, and you were listening to the Battle Ready |
| 0:18.1 | podcast. This week we have something really special. We decided to kind of dig into the archives. |
| 0:24.0 | When we first decided to start shooting Battle Ready Podcast in 2020, |
| 0:28.0 | we were actually in Stockholm, Sweden. We were heading on a trip, |
| 0:32.0 | me and my dad, and we're doing like a little |
| 0:34.0 | Scandinavian tour through Sweden and Denmark. We're also in London and the UK and a |
| 0:40.0 | little bit of Europe and Amsterdam, and we filmed a few of these episodes so these |
| 0:43.7 | are not in studio so a little bit of the audio is messy you hear the city we |
| 0:48.3 | are in this episode we are actually in the car driving one of our friends is |
| 0:51.9 | driving us pet Petrus, he is on team at Hill |
| 0:56.0 | Song in Stockholm, Sweden and he is incredible. So shout out to that amazing man and you'll hear |
| 1:01.8 | you'll hear his voice a little bit kind of correct us on how we |
| 1:05.0 | pronunciate some of the Swedish things but basically we're in the car we're talking and |
| 1:10.0 | we just wanted to make the most of the trip. We get this opportunity to travel a lot, but when |
| 1:15.4 | you go to Europe in the dead of winter, it gets really cold. The days are short. So we decided, |
| 1:20.7 | if you know what, if we're going to go go we're going to bring our good friend Austin along and maybe we could film some of these things |
| 1:26.2 | So we're in the car where we're filming and we talk about environments we talk about the atmosphere we talk about what it feels like when you step into rooms and how important that is. |
| 1:34.9 | This is a very church focused episode, but you know if you're not in the church space, |
| 1:40.0 | if you're just you know in the mainstream space, or maybe you're in college or maybe you are, I don't know, a part of a workout group or X, Y, this I think applies to every single person. Because it does not matter if you work for a |
