Fresh off my honeymoon in Lake Como and Saint-Tropez, I'm spilling ALL the tea on newlywed life, Aperol spritz overloads, unexpected K-holes, and the emotional rollercoaster that is my luteal phase. Plus, I read YOUR wild voicemails! Oh, and my mom called in… and dragged me.

This special episode weaves together the experiences of five queer artists who've navigated the exhausting terrain between authentic self and performed safety. From Matt Fishel's childhood joy being "bullied out" of him to Blake Mundell's voluntary enrollment in conversion therapy, these stories map the psychological geography of concealment.Each artist reveals how constant self-monitoring becomes second nature - whether it's Ty McKinnie learning not to talk with his hands or Vincent di Geronimo facing daily violence in small-town Connecticut. Yet these aren't simply survival stories. They're testimonies to the peculiar alchemy that transforms hidden pain into visible art, showing how queer resilience isn't about overcoming but about finding unexpected pathways through.Timestamped Takeaways[00:01:33] Childhood transformation: Matt Fishel recalls when joy turned to vigilance at age 11[00:02:56] Geographic isolation: Vincent di Geronimo's move from NYC to Connecticut brings immediate violence[00:05:37] Performative masculinity: Blake Mundell maintains image through sports and "manly" activities[00:06:44] Accidental outing: Aruan's preference for Wham! over Madness exposes him in classroom[00:10:57] Physical withdrawal: Matt Fishel becomes recluse after serious beating in Nottingham[00:11:57] Conversion therapy: Blake voluntarily enrolls seeking to eliminate "sinful desires"[00:13:42] Suicide attempt: Blake's confidential letter to pastor gets weaponised by church[00:19:06] Classroom cruelty: Vincent faces normalised homophobia in maths class[00:20:15] Body language policing: Ty McKinnie's father forbids talking with hands[00:21:43] Unexpected liberation: Blake finds freedom through telling friend's story[00:24:23] Musical salvation: Aruan discovers community through Prince and Bowie[00:26:37] Industry rejection: Matt Fishel told by labels to "cut the gay content"Guest BioThis special episode features five remarkable artists from the podcast's first season in 2021: UK-based Matt Fishel and Aruan, alongside US artists Vincent di Geronimo, Blake Mundell (performing as Courier), and Ty McKinnie.

When Americans hear “gun deaths,” they're fed a single number that lumps together suicides, murders, accidents, and justified defensive shootings. This aggregation is misleading. Over 55% of firearm deaths in the U.S. are suicides—tragic outcomes driven by mental health, not gun policy. Around 40% are homicides, largely committed by criminals in urban environments, often gang-related. Accidental shootings are less than 2% of all firearm deaths, and justifiable homicides—law-abiding citizens or police stopping attackers—are statistically rare, even though defensive gun uses number in the hundreds of thousands annually, most ending without a shot.The fear surrounding firearms is manufactured. Every high-profile incident, like a school shooting, becomes media spectacle. Yet the odds of a child dying in a school shooting are less than one in two million per year. Schools conduct active shooter drills, not because the danger is widespread, but because fear is politically useful. These drills condition children to believe they live under constant threat, while data says otherwise.The sheer scale of U.S. gun ownership is unmatched. There are an estimated 450–500 million privately owned firearms—more guns than people. Yet despite this vast arsenal, only a microscopic fraction are ever misused. Most guns sit in safes, drawers, or holsters, owned by responsible citizens. The high number exists because multiple ownership is common; firearms are tools, each serving a different purpose, like golf clubs or a mechanic's toolbox. Collectors may own dozens or even hundreds, inflating totals without increasing danger.Since the 1980s, while the public conversation has grown more heated, laws have become more permissive. At least 27 states now allow “constitutional” or “permitless” carry. Supreme Court decisions like Heller (2008) and Bruen (2022) have dismantled restrictive regulations, affirming that the right to bear arms belongs to individuals. Federal bans, like the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, expired in 2004 and have not returned. The courts are now increasingly hostile to sweeping gun restrictions.The Second Amendment's core purpose is often misunderstood. It does not mention hunting, target shooting, or even home defense. It exists to ensure the people retain the power to resist tyranny. The Founders understood that a disarmed populace is vulnerable to government overreach. Critics say the amendment is outdated, rooted in the age of muskets, but rights do not expire with technology. The First Amendment protects online speech as much as quill-written pamphlets; likewise, the Second adapts to modern arms. Ironically, the very muskets of the Founders' era are no longer regulated as firearms—black powder rifles can be ordered online and shipped to your door, treated as historical curiosities rather than weapons.With nearly half a billion guns in private hands, the U.S. is not the war zone gun control advocates claim. If the mere presence of guns caused violence, the country would be drowning in blood. Instead, the overwhelming majority of firearms are never involved in any crime. The real issues—mental illness, gang culture, economic despair—drive the statistics, not lawful ownership.The narrative of an “epidemic” of gun violence thrives on fear, not facts. It ignores that defensive gun uses save lives and that most owners act responsibly. It conflates suicides with homicides, domestic disputes with mass shootings, and criminals with law-abiding citizens.The truth is clear: guns themselves are not the problem. The problem lies in how numbers are framed, how fear is sold, and how policy is shaped by emotion instead of data. Far from being a menace, widespread legal firearm ownership coexists with remarkably low misuse. The Second Amendment remains what it was meant to be—a safeguard of liberty, not a pastime.

A 60% failure rate is unacceptable in any other part of your business. So why do we accept it for new managers?  Companies lose their best technical experts every day by promoting them into leadership roles they aren't equipped for. We call it the "Accidental Manager" trap.You give them a new title and more pay, but no training on the single most complex part of the job: leading people.The result?→ Your star performer burns out.→ Their team disengages.→ Your best people leave.It's a silent killer of productivity and morale.  But it's entirely preventable.  In this episode, we break down the proven, step-by-step strategy to turn your high-achievers into high-performing leaders. We cover how to assess for potential, the immediate steps to take post-promotion, and how to find training that actually works.

Do you crave connection but keep everyone at arm's length? You might be what Tracy calls an "accidental asshole." You're not trying to be a jerk. You built that wall as a kid to survive. But now it's blocking the very thing you want most. You date with one foot in, one foot out. You need drama to feel anything. When someone actually wants to love you? Boring. Or terrifying. Stop waiting for someone who won't trigger you. That person doesn't exist. The work is dealing with the discomfort of letting someone in. In this episode, Tracy explores: * Why you need tension to feel attraction * How the "perfect person" fantasy keeps you unavailable * Why you get pissed when you actually get attached * Why you contact exes months later * How to feel without the protective facade "Emotionally available people do not seek out unavailability." ~ Tracy Crossley

What began as a $4-an-hour summer gig at Western Pest has grown into Hoffman's Exterminating, a six-branch powerhouse ranked among PCT's Top 100—and CEO Bill Hoffman is still at the helm. Certified as an entomologist and PCQI, Bill joins the Blue-Collar Twins to unpack how pig-farm discipline, union-shop lessons, and a “coach-not-tech” mindset fueled steady, one-to-three-hires-per-year growth—and landed Hoffman's as the official pest-control partner of the Philadelphia Eagles. You'll hear: Door-Knock Origins – mortgaging sweat equity into a one-man startup while moonlighting at a deli and landscaping crew.Coach's Playbook – shifting from “crawl-space hero” to head coach and writing SOPs that free his team to execute.Eagles & MLS Deals – the referral chain—from a mom-and-pop acquisition to MLS partner to NFL sidelines—that proves community karma pays.Culture Moat – 20-year employees earn lifetime health insurance; paid volunteer hours keep staff and community for life.Seasonality Hacks – 55 % commercial mix, exclusion division, and weather “audibles” that keep 70 techs busy through Northeast winters.Mission Beyond Margins – board seats at two Ronald McDonald Houses, sustainability work at Lincoln Financial Field, and why “quality over quantity” still drives every decision. Stick around for Bill's blunt advice on moving from technician mindset to $30 million CEO—and why the best companies know when to act big and when to act small.

In this episode, Jerry addresses a question he received multiple times in one week from chiropractors: Why are there so many website visitors and so few new patients? He breaks down this common concern and explains why these numbers often don't align in the way chiropractors expect. The episode offers perspective, highlights common misconceptions, and gives practical advice for improving website conversion. The Misunderstanding: Expectations vs Reality Many chiropractors expect a high percentage of website visitors to become new patients. In reality, this is not how online marketing works—especially with cold traffic. Chiropractors who believe they should convert 50% or more of website visitors into patients are setting themselves up for disappointment. Even a 6% conversion rate on cold website traffic is considered very good. Jerry explains that in his experience with info products and affiliate marketing, getting a 3% conversion rate was difficult. A 6% conversion would have been life-changing. Chiropractors need to calibrate their expectations and understand what's normal. Cold Traffic vs Warm Leads One of the biggest issues is confusing cold traffic with warm leads. Cold traffic includes people who: Find your site through Google or ads Have no prior relationship with you Haven't been referred and don't trust you yet These people convert at a very low rate. In contrast, warm leads are: Referred by friends or family Already familiar with you through social media or community presence Former patients or those who've interacted with your brand Warm leads should convert at a much higher rate. If you're only converting a small percentage of these, something is seriously wrong. Website Traffic Doesn't Equal Potential Patients Looking at gross visitor numbers assumes every visitor is a potential new patient, which is simply not true. Website visitors may include: Bots or spam traffic Competitors Existing patients checking hours or contact info People outside your service area Accidental clicks Unless you're running a tightly controlled ad campaign with a direct funnel, gross website numbers are a poor indicator of performance. Conversion Isn't Always Linear Unless your practice relies 100% on online scheduling, you can't assume that every new patient came through the website. People may call, text, message you on social media, or walk in. If your site visitors and new patient numbers aren't lining up, it could be because they're taking other paths into your practice. Trying to compare total website visits with total new patients is misleading because: Not every visitor is a qualified lead Not every new patient visits the website before booking A Volume Reality Check Jerry gives a basic example of how conversion typically plays out: 500 website visitors 3% click on the “schedule now” button = 15 people 50% of those actually schedule = 7 to 8 people 75% of scheduled appointments show up = about 5 to 6 new patients This is a realistic scenario and shouldn't be considered a failure. In fact, it's fairly normal. Google Business Profile (GBP) Can Be Even More Misleading Many chiropractors see huge views on their GBP listings—1,800 or more in a month—but still get only a handful of new patients. That gap can be discouraging, but again, it's common. The takeaway isn't that you should ignore these numbers but that you need to understand what they really mean. Visibility without conversion isn't useful unless your site and profile are compelling enough to get people to take action. How to Improve Website Conversion Jerry offers several practical ways to improve your chiropractic website's performance: 1. Simplify and organize your site. Avoid clutter. Too many chiropractic sites overwhelm visitors with too much information and no clear direction. Think of your website like a path through the woods—give people obvious cues about where to go next. 2. Make your content easy on the eyes. Presentation matters. Use formatting that's readable, clean, and skimmable. Don't dump a wall of text on your visitors. 3. Use patient-centered language. Skip the jargon. Don't talk about “optimizing health potential.” Focus on problems and solutions your ideal patients care about. 4. Add trust signals. Include real photos, staff bios, patient reviews, video introductions, and even relevant social media content. Authenticity builds trust. 5. Make scheduling easy. The best options are texting and online scheduling. Phone calls are okay. Email is the worst—slow, unreliable, and frustrating for both sides. Final Thought Unrealistic expectations are one of the biggest killers of progress. Chiropractors often get discouraged because they're comparing raw numbers without understanding what those numbers mean. Not all traffic is equal, not all visitors are prospects, and not all new patients will come through the same channel. Focus on what you can control—clear messaging, simplified navigation, strong calls to action, and easy ways to schedule.   Want Help Growing Your Practice?
