You can send this one to your educators. I got to sit down with Dr. Amy Zsohar! Amy was named the Minnesota Board of Trustees Educator of the Year for 2023, she is a professor at Inver Hills Community College, and she is also the staff advisor for their LGBT+ Club!What's fun about this conversation is that Amy seems to have been named as Educator of the Year at least in part because of her “unusual” teaching methods. I asked her all about them and now I understand how what she does to educate her students can work to change our lives for the better. I loved it and I'm pretty sure your friends in education will love it too.

We talk with author Zaylore Stout about the censoring of queer media and the oppression of LGBTQ+ culture. And as luck would have it - our very first episode was a celebration of Zaylore's book Our Gay History in 50 States; a book of queer history that has been targeted by anti-LGBTQ+ activists.Zaylore is also the founder of Zaylore Stout & Associates so he is able to give us a unique perspective on book bans in America.

Today we're talking about housing - specifically - how to buy some. Buying a home is one of the best things that you can do for your financial wellbeing but it isn't as easy to buy a home now as it used to be. So we're going to talk with loan officer Torben Berndt - NMLS 2154506 - about everything we need to know and everything we need to do - in order to buy a home.Stream more episodes: https://www.bottomlesscoffeeshow.comConnect with Jerome: https://www.jerometevans.com

This episode of Bottomless Coffee Podcast was recorded live at Inver Hills Community College with their LGBT+ Club. We changed things up and asked the students to submit questions that they'd like to be asked and that led to an incredible conversation about college life, LGBT+ advocacy on campus, coming out and being outed, and things students and teachers can do to be more inclusive, and queer joy.Stream more episodes: https://www.bottomlesscoffeeshow.comConnect with Jerome: https://www.jerometevans.com

Let's talk about respect! I asked people on social media to send me the names of the people that they respect - and not one person they sent was a member of the queer community! So I had some questions. Namely: who do you respect, why do you respect them, what does your behavior look like when its directed towards people that you respect, and should there be more members of the queer community on the list of people that you respect?I asked those questions to Dr. Ron Hunter and I think that his responses were enlightening. We previously spoke with Ron about mentorship and that episode is one of our highest rated episodes to date.Ron is a dear friend who takes respect VERY seriously and in this conversation he challenges me about some of my thoughts on why the queer community doesn't get the respect that I think we deserve. After the conversation you can at https://www.linkedin.com/in/RonHunterPHD.

Do the actions of the queer community matter as much as those of other communities? Because as a society we seem acknowledge and preserve the historic spaces of straight people far more often than we do of queer people. Why is that? To help answer that question I flew down to Atlanta Georgia and sat down with preservationist Charlie Paine. Charlie is a thought leader in the queer preservation movement and his insights have changed the way that I look at and value our queer spaces. Enjoy!

I caught up with Simon as he was going through a change in his life. Just getting out of a throuple. Trying to move forward in his career. And really in the midst of figuring out who he is and what will set his life up for long-term happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment. I think that a lot of the queer community in this same space, this same place and the process of trying to break through and get to where you want to BE makes for a conversation that I think you'll enjoy.Connect with Simon on InstagramJoin the Bottomless Coffee Community on Patreon

Have you ever wondered about the path that brings people to celebrity fashion design?

Within a month of graduating from design school, William was being called on to design for well known brands. But - as we talk about in the episode - this isn't some overnight success story.

We're working through Chapter 2 of What Happened to You and the topic is Seeking Balance. This chapter further focuses on how we move ourselves from feeling bad to feeling good, or - in the language of the book - from being disregulated to being regulated. The actions that we take to move ourselves into a regulated state matter because the the things that make us feel good - or regulated - are not always the things that will help us to thrive. In fact, if we have experienced trauma then the things that make us feel regulated might actually be bad for us. In this episode we talk through how the work of cutting out actions that make us feel regulated but keep us from thriving is the work that helps us to heal.

Who taught you what to do with your money? Today we're talking with Derek Grahn about financial literacy, the knowledge that we need in order to make important financial decisions. Derek is a Business Education Teacher, Adjunct Professor, Small Business Owner, and - as you'll hear in this episode - a straight up knowledge dropper!

Many Americans are reckoning with the fact that policy, politics, and partisanship can impact them on the most fundamental level and they're asking two questions. How did we get here and how do we fix this? In this conversation, I talk with Minnesota Education Policy Fellowship leader Troy Haugen as he walks us through the interaction of policy, politics, and partisanship at the intersection of our lives: including bodily autonomy, education, and our fundamental civil liberties.

Guest Dr. Nathan Chomilo is the former director of vaccine equity for the Minnesota Department of Health.

In this episode we work through Chapter 1 of What Happened to You by Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Bruce Perry. We explore the intersection of our brains, how our brains process information, and how traumatic events can stick with us long after the circumstances surrounding those events have passed. https://marymered.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/screenshot-2020-10-03-at-12.07.20.png (Dr. Perry Brain Triangle)

It's time to level up! As we work to deepen our conversations with our friends, family, and community - it's important to consider the experiences that other people are bringing into the conversation with them. As the host of Bottomless Coffee, I want to be able to bring in a trauma-informed approach to every conversation that calls for it. So - I turned to Oprah. Oprah Winfrey partnered with brain development and trauma expert  Dr. Bruce D. Perry to write What Happened to You? A book that works to shift the way that we think about people who have experienced trauma. We will work through the book and reflect on its lessons. And by the end, we will all know more about trauma, how it might manifest in our networks, and how we can help to heal the trauma within ourselves and help others resolve the trauma that they carry within themselves.

On this special episode of Bottomless Coffee Podcast we're talking about butts with David Russo, the founder of Cheeky Charity and the #MarchYourButt movement! Okay, more specifically, we're talking about the importance of preventative screenings for colorectal cancer. Many of us have delayed routine physicals and doctor recommended screenings because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That is leading to a rise in incidents of late detection for serious issues. With Cheeky Charity, David is determined to leveraging the shock value of cheeky images to help raise awareness for this important issue.

Team Dynamics drops by for a conversation on their new book Hiring Revolution: A Guide to Disrupt Racism and Sexism in Hiring! About Team Dynamics: Team Dynamics is an LGBTQ+, People of Color and woman-owned company that helps people and employers meet their diversity, equity and inclusion goals. We are focused on helping leaders and workplaces live up to their potential through intentional and meaningful culture change.

Finding a decent place is one of the drivers of our health and success. But for a long time access to some housing was kept as a privilege for a certain few. In today's conversation we talk with Tom Wheeler of The Wheeler Group and HomeFound Boise about LGBTQ discrimination in housing. Tom is in the unique position of working in two real estate markets, Minnesota and Idaho. In his work, Tom has noticed that the legal protections that exist statewide in Minnesota are only present at the county level in Idaho. That has led to overt and implicit discrimination against LGBTQ people in Idaho. Tom advocates for increased LGBTQ protections in Idaho and works to educate his peers in the industry about the biases that they may be bringing into their businesses. https://www.BottomlessCoffeeShow.com (Visit us at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com) https://www.store.bottomlesscoffeepodcast.com/ (Buy a mug at the Bottomless Coffee Shop!) https://www.patreon.com/BottomlessCoffee (Support our Community on Patreon) Follow the show! https://www.instagram.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Instagram) https://www.facebook.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Facebook) Connect with Jerome! https://www.instagram.com/jerometevans (Instagram)

Just because you've lost touch with someone, doesn't mean that you can't reconnect with them. In fact, reconnecting and staying connected with friends has a profoundly positive impact on our mental health. You'll be able to hear that in this episode. In this conversation I reconnect with my friend Nakeisha Daniel. Actor. Director. Choreographer. Educator. And Assistant Professor of African American Theater & Performance at The College of Charleston. We laugh, talk through our lengthy friendship, and catch-up on how life has changed since COVID-19. And at the same time, we model how easy it is to reconnect with people that you may have lost touch with. Give this episode a listen and then reach out to someone that you haven't chatted with in a while. I bet that you'll find your conversation with your friend as enriching as I found my conversation with mine.

Hey all! I think that this conversation will really brighten up your day! Which is kind of a feat since the topic of this episode is climate change and my mind generally goes to a dark place when I'm thinking about that subject. So big credit goes to our guest Spencer Scott for radiating climate optimism during our conversation and for painting a picture of a more regenerative and equitable future that is worth fighting for and worth hoping for. https://www.bottomlesscoffeeshow.com/ (Visit us at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com) https://www.store.bottomlesscoffeepodcast.com/ (Buy a mug at the Bottomless Coffee Shop!) https://www.patreon.com/BottomlessCoffee (Support our Community on Patreon) Follow the show! https://www.instagram.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Instagram) https://www.facebook.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Facebook) Connect with Jerome! https://www.instagram.com/jerometevans (Instagram)

Today we are talking about maintaining relationships with Yevgeniy Izrayelit. In this conversation we follow the many twists and turns of Yevgeniy's professional journey and the relationships that helped get him to where he is today. Yevgeniy's story is one example of maintaining familial and professional relationships over time and eventually leveraging those relationships for his professional benefit. And personal professional advancement is certainly one way to exert the power that comes with connection. But this IS Bottomless Coffee and - to the extent that we are concerned about bettering our families, friend groups, or communities - I hope that we remember that connection and relationships can be leveraged to help effect that change as well as for benefitting ourselves. https://www.bottomlesscoffeeshow.com/ (Visit us at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com) https://www.store.bottomlesscoffeepodcast.com/ (Buy a mug at the Bottomless Coffee Shop!) https://www.patreon.com/BottomlessCoffee (Support our Community on Patreon) Follow the show! https://www.instagram.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Instagram) https://www.facebook.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Facebook) Connect with Jerome! https://www.instagram.com/jerometevans (Instagram)

This episode is a powerful one. Our guest Colin Gillens is incredibly vulnerable in sharing shares his thoughts on past racist actions that he has experienced, racist systems that he has navigated, and the antiracist practices that he believes could help create a more equitable America.
