Welcome to Episode 2 of Tide Talk, a Ride The Wave Foundation original series. These 15-minute audio sessions are short but powerful conversations rooted in the Wave Maker book — and built to transform the way we connect with others.

👋 This episode is all about the art of the approach — and how to Deliver a Warm Greeting.

Jeff Fisher and Javon Blue break down the power of softening your presence, making eye contact, and giving someone the kind of greeting that lowers walls and builds trust.

🎧 In just 15 minutes, you’ll learn:
• How to greet someone with intention, not just habit
• The psychology behind soft body language and eye contact
• Why the first 5 seconds of an interaction can change everything
• Real mentorship moments from the streets of Morristown
• How to use this principle to make people feel safe, seen, and supported

This is one of the most foundational principles in the Wave Maker framework — and one you can apply immediately in your family, leadership, service, or everyday life.

What does it mean to find your voice when the world labels you before you speak?

In this deeply moving episode of the Ride The Wave Podcast, Jeff Fisher sits down with Mary, an outspoken advocate who was born with a cleft lip. From bullying and behavioral labels in the classroom to a pivotal courtroom moment involving her father, Mary’s story is one of courage, growth, and unshakable purpose.

But this is more than a personal story — it’s a movement.
Mary introduces us to the often-overlooked cleft lip community, revealing a network of support, advocacy, and healing that most don’t even know exists. With guidance from her mentor Dr. Bowe (founder of BeTheChangeNJ.com), Mary has become a shining example of resilience and leadership — and yes, Dr. Bowe also officiated her wedding!

You’ll walk away from this episode with:

• A deeper understanding of cleft lip awareness
• A new perspective on how schools respond to behavior and difference
• Insight into how mentorship can change the trajectory of a life
• Renewed belief that every person has a story worth listening to

🌊 At Ride The Wave Foundation, we believe "The Path is to the Person." This episode lives that mission out loud.
