Send us a textMusic has been an important part of Laurie Dameron's life since childhood. Her mom started teaching her how to sing as a toddler, even teaching her and her sister three-part harmonies to sing on car trips.She started piano lessons around the age of four, but as a child, she didn't like being told what to do. Her mother encouraged her to try various endeavors, including ballet, tap dancing, acting, and swimming. However, none of them truly stuck with her.When Dameron was around seven years old, her mother started taking guitar lessons. As a form of rebellion, Dameron would sneak into her mother's room and teach herself how to play the guitar. From there, she completely fell in love with performing.She played her first gig at a brewery in Pearl Street Mall with two friends from junior high and high school, brothers Dave and Drew Emmitt, with the latter later becoming one of the “Big Three” members of Leftover Salmon.Dameron went to college at Adams State University in Alamosa, and for her last two years there, she ran the open mic at the school. She posted flyers, ran marketing, and made sure to advertise the event during her time as a DJ for the local radio station KASF-FM.During her time at Adams State, she toured with ASC Big Band Jazz Ensemble. As part of that group, she performed twice in the Greeley Jazz Festival, where her playing impressed virtuoso jazz guitar player Johnny Smith. She briefly received free guitar lessons from Smith at his music store in Colorado Springs, but ultimately moved to Summit County in 1983.To learn more about Laurie Dameron's life and career (as well as her connection to the host of this podcast), then be sure to tune in to this episode of Music of the Mountains!Call it A Day: https://youtu.be/KQRdFLbDy1M Thank you for listening to The Mountain-Ear Podcast, featuring the news and culture from peak to peak!If you want to be featured in the podcast, contact the host at media@themountainear.com!SUBSCRIBE ONLINE and use the coupon code PODCAST for A 10% DISCOUNT for ALL NEW SUBSCRIBERS!

This week I sat down with Colorado's David Carrillo, who was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole thirty years ago, when he was 19 years old. Since then, David has accomplished some incredible things behind bars. He enrolled in college, completed his Bachelor's and then his Master's Degree, and then got hired to teach for a local college inside prison while he was still incarcerated. We talk about life in prison, drugs in prison, prison education, redemption, identity changes in prison, politics in prison, and we focus on the importance of educational opportunities inside.

Sam is a grad student at Adams State University in Colorado where he's working towards a Master's in Psychology. It's a program that's mostly online and meets in person one week a month. That hybrid situation is a good fit for Sam, who had mixed experiences as an undergrad. He felt overwhelmed at times, didn't always love dorm living, and took a medical leave for part of one semester. But he got back on track with online classes, building his own schedule around school, and living in an apartment. He never had accommodations, but as a psychology student, he gained some insights into his own learning style and challenges, and in this episode, he shares his path to a late diagnosis and his academic successes.

When did exercise become something that we have to do? When did it turn into a form of punishment or an obligation? When did we lose the ability to just play? I have two boys (one is six and one is eight) and most Saturdays I drag my family to the gym. My husband and I work out together while the kids go to kid care. What's really fun is when we're done with the workout and the kids get to run out on the gym floor. They find anything they can in the gym to play on. They grab the rings and they start swinging! If the ropes are down, they try to shimmy up the ropes. They can't make it higher than an inch… but they sure do try. Everything about what they're doing is uncoordinated and wonky and yet, they are having a blast. It is such a healthy reminder to me that at one point movement and exercise were PLAY! Once upon a time, it was an exploration of what my body was capable of. That is exactly what my boys are doing when they come out on the gym floor to run around. (Now that I think about it, my boys pretty muck parkour through life.) Over time, we lose this ability to be curious when we move and it turns into an obligation. The gym isn't something we enjoy, but rather another item on our to-do list (right next to laundry). We find our place in a judgment seat and criticize our exercise. It is never enough and we always need to do more. I'm really excited to carry on this conversation about exercise. How can we return to play? How can we get out of the judgment zone and into a space of curiosity to explore? Today, one of my good friends Kim Payne is here to discuss some of the research she has been doing on biofeedback and exercise. This is science in the making and I am so here for it! Kim Payne is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and currently pursuing her doctorate at Adams State University. I love talking to this woman because she is passionate about helping others find joy in exercise. If you are interested in working with her directly, please reach out to her at kimpaynetherapy@gmail.com. This one will leave you with some steps to take today to get moving… for FUN! Cheers, and happy movement! Jess

Let's get into it: NEVADA CURRENT:Get insurance while the gettin' is goodOpen enrollment for health insurance plans offered under the Affordable Care Act in Nevada, and nationwide for that matter, ends on Jan 15. It's anticipated to be the largest enrollment in the state's history.Across the U.S. nearly three in four people enrolled through the marketplace receive health care coverage that's subsidized — the highest rate since the ACA was implemented.A Biden administration spokesperson said “Nevada Health Link had a record-setting enrollment last year and with the expanded help of the Inflation Reduction Act, and we look forward to even more Nevadans finding quality, affordable health care for 2023,” In 2022, enrollment hit record highs nationally and in Nevada, when 101,411 people signed up for coverage during open enrollment in the state, aided by subsidy enhancements in the American Rescue Plan Act. Those savings amount to an average of $4,494 for a middle-class family of four in Nevada.“The more enrolled we see, the healthier Nevada is,” said Katie Charleson, the communications officer at Silver State Health Insurance Exchange.But while more people are getting access to health care than ever before, systemic barriers are still making it harder for some populations to get coverage. Americans who have a high school education or less, are Hispanic, live in rural areas, or lack internet access at home are disproportionately underrepresented in the subsidized marketplace plans despite being eligible, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.For individuals who get enrolled in January, your coverage will begin February 1st, go to healthcare.gov to get insured. SOURCE NM:Congress green-lights NM plan to further tap the land grant fund for public educationA few lines in the 4,000-page budget bill recently signed by President Biden will mean hundreds of millions more in funding for New Mexico's public school students each year. Last year, voters in N.M. overwhelmingly approved pulling an additional 1.25% from the state's multi-billion dollar Land Grant Permanent Fund, for education, each year. But because the fund was initially set up by Congress back when New Mexico first became a state, the shift in funds required Congress to sign off.In the next fiscal year in New Mexico, over $200 million will be disbursed out of a pool of money that's fed by revenue from oil, gas and mineral extraction on state-owned lands. Over half of the funds are destined for the state's early childhood education system, as it hires more staff and works to reach all corners of the state, providing free or low-cost child care and pre-kindergarten schooling. U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich said “When we improve our education and child care system, we also make our state a better place to raise a family, to start or expand a business, to find a good-paying job, and to hire the best and brightest employees,”The rest of the fresh funding will go to K-12 public education, beefing up instruction for students who are at-risk, making the school year longer and paying teachers better.Advocates say infusing public education with much-needed resources will go a long way toward putting New Mexico into compliance with a court order to provide equitable education to all of the state's students, including those who are Indigenous, come from families with low incomes, have disabilities, or who are learning English. according to the judge's ruling in the Yazzie-Martinez case, Those students have historically not received the quality of education they have a right to under the New Mexico ConstitutionThe effort to further tap the oil and gas funds for public schools in New Mexico has spanned years. With President Biden's approval, it will finally cross the finish line.COLORADO NEWSLINE:Trump attorney Jenna Ellis of Colorado under investigation for alleged misconduct.Jenna Ellis, the Colorado attorney who represented former President Donald Trump as he tried to overturn the 2020 election, is under investigation by the Colorado Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel.Ellis has been the target of formal complaints regarding what critics characterized as her professional misconduct connected to Trump's effort to reverse the results of a free and fair election. In May a complaint from the States United Democracy Center, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, asked Colorado Attorney Regulation Counsel Jessica Yates to investigate Ellis for multiple alleged violations of professional rules and impose possible “substantial professional discipline.”In the final report of the U.S. House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, Ellis is described as the deputy to Trump campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani, The complaint says “Ellis made numerous public misrepresentations alleging fraud in the election — even as federal and state election officials repeatedly found that no fraud had occurred that could have altered the outcome and even as Mr. Trump and his allies brought and lost over 60 lawsuits claiming election fraud or illegality.”Among the many alleged instances of misconduct the complaint cites, it notes that Ellis urged lawmakers in various swing states to intervene on Trump's behalf and even certify false electors for Trump, and it says she drafted dishonest memos purporting to give legal rationale for then-Vice President Mike Pence to block the congressional electoral count on Jan. 6, 2021. In a deposition Ellis gave to the Jan. 6 committee in March, a transcript of which the committee released this week, she indicates that Colorado is the only state where she has bar membership. During the deposition a questioner referred to a $22,500 invoice Ellis submitted to Trump for work she performed in December 2020 and January 2021. Ellis invoked her Fifth Amendment right not to answer whether she received payment.CHALKBEAT COLORADO:How to fund Colorado schools in ways that reflect student needs. How to open college opportunities to more students. How to narrow pandemic learning gaps, especially in math.When Colorado lawmakers convene Jan. 9, they'll have pressing education issues to address, competing needs to balance, and a tricky budget to navigate.Expect bills that seek to address youth mental health, school safety, and teacher shortages. Lawmakers could find bipartisan agreement on efforts to improve math instruction and better connect higher education and job opportunities. But debates over rewriting the school finance formula and overhauling the school accountability system could divide Democrats.For a fifth session, Democrats will control both chambers and the governor's office. They grew their majorities in November's election. The Colorado General Assembly will be full of new members, many from the progressive wing of the party, potentially introducing new political dynamics.At the same time, lawmakers with a long history of engagement on education issues have moved into leadership positions. Members of a special committee on school finance, for example, now lead the House Democrats, the Senate Republicans, and the powerful Joint Budget Committee. The House Education Committee has at least four former teachers, a former school board member, and members with experience in mental health and higher education administration.Colorado economists expect the state to have more money in its 2023-24 budget, but inflation will play an outsize role controlling spending. And the risk of a recession could diminish revenue. Questions of short-term uncertainty and long-term sustainability will affect K-12 and higher education.Here are seven issues we'll be watching in the 2023 legislative session:Is this the year? The interim committee on school finance has been trying for five years to rewrite a decades-old school finance formula that nearly everyone agrees is unfair.The current formula sometimes sends more money to well-off districts than to ones serving more students in poverty, and no school district wants to get less than they get now. Bret Miles, head of the Colorado Association of School Executives, said his members would object to a formula rewrite that “takes from one school district to give it to another.”State Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, chair of the Joint Budget Committee, said one of her priorities will be developing a “hold-harmless” provision for the new formula. Fewer students and higher local property tax revenues take some pressure off state education funding obligations. Lawmakers could use that cushion, she said, then phase in a new formula to ensure no district gets less than it does now.Brenda Dickhoner, president and CEO of the conservative education advocacy group Ready Colorado, expects Republicans to push their own priorities for school finance, which means more focus on money following students and less concern for the impact on district budgets.Dickhoner said she hopes all sides are “at the table thinking about how we can more equitably fund our students and really get to a student-focused formula.”State and national test data show that students' math skills took a bigger hit from pandemic learning disruptions than did reading. Right now, Colorado doesn't have the tools to address it.House Education Chair Barbara McLachlan said she's working with Gov. Jared Polis' office on legislation that would better train teachers on best practices in math instruction and make training available to parents so they can better support their children.In his November budget letter, Polis called on lawmakers to ensure that every school district adopts high-quality instructional materials and training and gets all students back on track in math.How to improve math skills also remains a priority for conservatives. Dickhoner said her organization is looking to higher-performing states for ideas.The push comes after years of intense focus on improving reading scores. Expect the debate over the math bills to mirror ones about reading instruction, including how much the state should be involved in setting curriculum.Last year Colorado flirted with fully funding its K-12 system after years of holding back money for other budget priorities. But a last-minute deal to reduce property tax increases would have reduced state revenues, and Democrat lawmakers held back.Getting more funding for schools is always a top priority for the Colorado Education Association, the state's largest teachers union, but wiping out the withholding known as the budget stabilization factor and fully funding Colorado schools are unlikely to happen this year.Colorado will have less money overall after voters approved two ballot measures — one lowering the income tax rate and the other setting aside money for affordable housing. That shouldn't cut into budgetary spending, but will reduce the buffer the state has in case of an emergency.Zenzinger said it's important to increase K-12 spending and that lawmakers hope to do better than the $9.1 billion proposed by Polis in his budget recommendation.But budget writers also have their eye on long-term sustainability and any future recession.The picture is different for higher education, which has to fight for scraps. Polis wants to increase university budgets and financial aid by 6.8%. Schools are expected to make a case for more funding, especially to keep tuition low and because inflation exceeds that.Metropolitan State University of Denver President Janine Davidson said the school will seek more investment from lawmakers. Programs to help students from low-income backgrounds or who are the first to go to college in their family are costly, she said. And the state funds schools with a lower share than it did 30 years ago.Lawmakers also may address how to ensure students can get to and stay in college.Elaine Berman, Colorado Trustees Network chair, said college board members want more support for students who need skills or credentials for in-demand jobs. School trustees want more funds to build partnerships with businesses and communities to better connect college degrees to jobs, she said.Lawmakers also may explore how to make it easier for students to get college and workforce skills earlier, including extending opportunities in college and vocational schools.The Colorado Community College System also wants more college options for incarcerated people. The federal government will begin to allow those students access to federal grants, and the system wants the state to prepare for the changes. It's also a priority for Representative-elect Matthew Martinez, D-Monte Vista, who led Adams State University's prison education program.“I think it's time that we really boost up education for this population,” Martinez said.Meanwhile, the Colorado Department of Higher Education has a small agenda starting with removing military draft questions from college enrollment applications, which colleges report stops some students from enrolling.Advocacy groups plan to ask lawmakers to make filling out the FAFSA a requirement to graduate. That's the federal application for financial aid, and each year Colorado students who don't finish the form leave behind almost $30 million in federal grants. Plus students who fill out the FAFSA are more likely to go to college, according to research.“We want to make sure that we get it right,” said Kyra DeGruy Kennedy, Rocky Mountain region director for the advocacy group Young Invincibles. “And so if that means we have to wait another year, we'll totally wait another year, but we are hopeful that this is a year that we'll be able to make some progress on it.”The top priority of CASE, the school executives group, is convening a task force to consider changes to the school accountability system. They will press this even though a recent audit found that the system is largely “reasonable and appropriate” and that most schools receiving state intervention improve.Miles said the system still hurts school districts that receive low ratings called turnaround and priority improvement, even if the intentions are good.“It's terrific that they make a difference,” he said of the state teams that work with schools with low test scores. “It doesn't change the fact that it's harder to hire in a turnaround school than a performance school” — the schools that meet state academic goals.Jen Walmer, state director of Democrats for Education Reform, said she expects any reform to be contentious, with debate about the makeup of the task force and the scope of its work — as well as whether Colorado needs a change at all.ARIZONA MIRROR:Katie Hobbs officially became Arizona's governor on Monday, ushering in a new set of priorities and vision for the state and setting the stage for contentious battles with the GOP-controlled legislature.She was administered the oath of office by Roopali Desai, a friend and former attorney who became a federal judge in 2022. Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Brutinel administered the oaths of office for Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Democratic Attorney General Kris MayesThe ascension of Hobbs to governor and the victories of Fontes and Mayes marks the first time since 1975 that Democrats have controlled the top three statewide posts. With it comes a new approach to governing that was immediately on display.Just hours after taking the oath of office, Hobbs issued an executive order prohibiting employment discrimination in state agencies and requiring them to adopt anti-discrimination policies. By contrast, when Ducey assumed office in 2015, his first action was an executive order aimed at making it more difficult for state agencies to create regulations.Hobbs campaigned on protecting abortion rights, funding public schools and making permanent programs like a child tax credit that would disproportionately benefit low- and middle-income families. “Today marks a new era in Arizona, where my Administration will work to build an Arizona for everyone,” Hobbs said in a written statement after being sworn in. “It's time for bold action and I feel ready as ever to get the job done. Let's get to work.”A public inauguration ceremony will be held at the state Capitol on Jan. 5.CONCERT PICK OF THE WEEK:Colter Wall, playing the Mission Ballroom in Denver, two nights, Thursday and Friday January 19th and 20th.

Let's get into it: NEVADA CURRENT:Get insurance while the gettin' is goodOpen enrollment for health insurance plans offered under the Affordable Care Act in Nevada, and nationwide for that matter, ends on Jan 15. It's anticipated to be the largest enrollment in the state's history.Across the U.S. nearly three in four people enrolled through the marketplace receive health care coverage that's subsidized — the highest rate since the ACA was implemented.A Biden administration spokesperson said “Nevada Health Link had a record-setting enrollment last year and with the expanded help of the Inflation Reduction Act, and we look forward to even more Nevadans finding quality, affordable health care for 2023,” In 2022, enrollment hit record highs nationally and in Nevada, when 101,411 people signed up for coverage during open enrollment in the state, aided by subsidy enhancements in the American Rescue Plan Act. Those savings amount to an average of $4,494 for a middle-class family of four in Nevada.“The more enrolled we see, the healthier Nevada is,” said Katie Charleson, the communications officer at Silver State Health Insurance Exchange.But while more people are getting access to health care than ever before, systemic barriers are still making it harder for some populations to get coverage. Americans who have a high school education or less, are Hispanic, live in rural areas, or lack internet access at home are disproportionately underrepresented in the subsidized marketplace plans despite being eligible, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.For individuals who get enrolled in January, your coverage will begin February 1st, go to healthcare.gov to get insured. SOURCE NM:Congress green-lights NM plan to further tap the land grant fund for public educationA few lines in the 4,000-page budget bill recently signed by President Biden will mean hundreds of millions more in funding for New Mexico's public school students each year. Last year, voters in N.M. overwhelmingly approved pulling an additional 1.25% from the state's multi-billion dollar Land Grant Permanent Fund, for education, each year. But because the fund was initially set up by Congress back when New Mexico first became a state, the shift in funds required Congress to sign off.In the next fiscal year in New Mexico, over $200 million will be disbursed out of a pool of money that's fed by revenue from oil, gas and mineral extraction on state-owned lands. Over half of the funds are destined for the state's early childhood education system, as it hires more staff and works to reach all corners of the state, providing free or low-cost child care and pre-kindergarten schooling. U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich said “When we improve our education and child care system, we also make our state a better place to raise a family, to start or expand a business, to find a good-paying job, and to hire the best and brightest employees,”The rest of the fresh funding will go to K-12 public education, beefing up instruction for students who are at-risk, making the school year longer and paying teachers better.Advocates say infusing public education with much-needed resources will go a long way toward putting New Mexico into compliance with a court order to provide equitable education to all of the state's students, including those who are Indigenous, come from families with low incomes, have disabilities, or who are learning English. according to the judge's ruling in the Yazzie-Martinez case, Those students have historically not received the quality of education they have a right to under the New Mexico ConstitutionThe effort to further tap the oil and gas funds for public schools in New Mexico has spanned years. With President Biden's approval, it will finally cross the finish line.COLORADO NEWSLINE:Trump attorney Jenna Ellis of Colorado under investigation for alleged misconduct.Jenna Ellis, the Colorado attorney who represented former President Donald Trump as he tried to overturn the 2020 election, is under investigation by the Colorado Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel.Ellis has been the target of formal complaints regarding what critics characterized as her professional misconduct connected to Trump's effort to reverse the results of a free and fair election. In May a complaint from the States United Democracy Center, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, asked Colorado Attorney Regulation Counsel Jessica Yates to investigate Ellis for multiple alleged violations of professional rules and impose possible “substantial professional discipline.”In the final report of the U.S. House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, Ellis is described as the deputy to Trump campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani, The complaint says “Ellis made numerous public misrepresentations alleging fraud in the election — even as federal and state election officials repeatedly found that no fraud had occurred that could have altered the outcome and even as Mr. Trump and his allies brought and lost over 60 lawsuits claiming election fraud or illegality.”Among the many alleged instances of misconduct the complaint cites, it notes that Ellis urged lawmakers in various swing states to intervene on Trump's behalf and even certify false electors for Trump, and it says she drafted dishonest memos purporting to give legal rationale for then-Vice President Mike Pence to block the congressional electoral count on Jan. 6, 2021. In a deposition Ellis gave to the Jan. 6 committee in March, a transcript of which the committee released this week, she indicates that Colorado is the only state where she has bar membership. During the deposition a questioner referred to a $22,500 invoice Ellis submitted to Trump for work she performed in December 2020 and January 2021. Ellis invoked her Fifth Amendment right not to answer whether she received payment.CHALKBEAT COLORADO:How to fund Colorado schools in ways that reflect student needs. How to open college opportunities to more students. How to narrow pandemic learning gaps, especially in math.When Colorado lawmakers convene Jan. 9, they'll have pressing education issues to address, competing needs to balance, and a tricky budget to navigate.Expect bills that seek to address youth mental health, school safety, and teacher shortages. Lawmakers could find bipartisan agreement on efforts to improve math instruction and better connect higher education and job opportunities. But debates over rewriting the school finance formula and overhauling the school accountability system could divide Democrats.For a fifth session, Democrats will control both chambers and the governor's office. They grew their majorities in November's election. The Colorado General Assembly will be full of new members, many from the progressive wing of the party, potentially introducing new political dynamics.At the same time, lawmakers with a long history of engagement on education issues have moved into leadership positions. Members of a special committee on school finance, for example, now lead the House Democrats, the Senate Republicans, and the powerful Joint Budget Committee. The House Education Committee has at least four former teachers, a former school board member, and members with experience in mental health and higher education administration.Colorado economists expect the state to have more money in its 2023-24 budget, but inflation will play an outsize role controlling spending. And the risk of a recession could diminish revenue. Questions of short-term uncertainty and long-term sustainability will affect K-12 and higher education.Here are seven issues we'll be watching in the 2023 legislative session:Is this the year? The interim committee on school finance has been trying for five years to rewrite a decades-old school finance formula that nearly everyone agrees is unfair.The current formula sometimes sends more money to well-off districts than to ones serving more students in poverty, and no school district wants to get less than they get now. Bret Miles, head of the Colorado Association of School Executives, said his members would object to a formula rewrite that “takes from one school district to give it to another.”State Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, chair of the Joint Budget Committee, said one of her priorities will be developing a “hold-harmless” provision for the new formula. Fewer students and higher local property tax revenues take some pressure off state education funding obligations. Lawmakers could use that cushion, she said, then phase in a new formula to ensure no district gets less than it does now.Brenda Dickhoner, president and CEO of the conservative education advocacy group Ready Colorado, expects Republicans to push their own priorities for school finance, which means more focus on money following students and less concern for the impact on district budgets.Dickhoner said she hopes all sides are “at the table thinking about how we can more equitably fund our students and really get to a student-focused formula.”State and national test data show that students' math skills took a bigger hit from pandemic learning disruptions than did reading.

This week I had the pleasure to speak with Isaiah Rodarte. He is a Peñasco High School Graduate and current Adams State University runner. Recently he placed 5th at the DII Cross Country National Championships. We talk about his start in running, choosing Adams State, and much more. We touch on running in high school and the ability for him to compete against everything from A to 5A schools and being uncertain about college running as well as wanting to represent New Mexico. We talk about his recent success and he says that he never expected how well this year turned out until he was in it. He also gives good advice on keeping up with classes while competing and practicing. He even talks a little about running the steeplechase at the Great South West his senior year of high school. It was a fun conversation and I hope you enjoy it and have an opportunity to watch him and other New Mexican athletes during the upcoming indoor track season. With our wonderful indoor facility here in Albuquerque, we get a few weekends to really support the sport in our state. I hope everyone enjoyed a couple of days off to recharge and spend time with family. Hopefully everyone stayed safe and healthy and I am excited for everyone's winter and spring plans coming up. So, be kind, stay warm, cheer each other on, and keep running, New Mexico.
Like many rural areas, the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado has a conundrum when it comes to keeping talented technical minds close to home. Lacking the educational opportunities to pursue degrees in engineering, young people often must leave to find the right college programs. At the same time, companies that need technical workers with an engineering background struggle to fill good-paying jobs. But a new joint program between Adams State University, the post-secondary education hub in the valley, and Colorado State University aims to change that dynamic. Sun reporter David Gilbert sat down with colleague Kevin Simpson to talk about his reporting on a way for talented, science-minded young people to remain in the close-knit community.

Crisis and the future of work are now intertwined. And, the effects of climate change and the pandemic altered the work that we do and hope to do. During each day, practically everyone in the workforce addresses issues. Often, these are time and place-related included in the job spec. For instance: a marketing manager's task is in overcoming customer loyalty erosion. However, in the first seven months of 2021, the work we do became existential. With fires on the West Coast, and the Covid-19 Delta variant spreading like wildfire, problems and crises reached our job specs and workplaces. And, to that end, the workplace endures a new crisis: The Great Resignation. During 2020 and 2021, women dropped out of the workforce, often because they could not secure childcare. And many others quit knowing that a return to the co-location meant also a return of toxicity and incivility. Perhaps the biggest crisis of all originates with hiring manager who seek to restore workplace life to pre-pandemic conditions. Accordingly, we must strive for truly intentional workplace practices. Hiring managers must be cognizant of the issues and problems their their hired talent endure on the job so that things don't turn critical like an out-of-control forest fire. Also in this episode: The story of crisis and the future of work is also told through a personal financial frame. And the way that we handle personal finances affects our opportunities to do the future work of our dreams. People who budget well and intentionally build wealth have more future work choices than those who don't put in the time. Absent well-tended financial resources, some are left to do work that keeps them afloat, but offers no positive meaning. Our guest, Angela Anderson, helps people build wealth so that they can live their dreams and do meaningful work. Full interview begins at 8:25 We must no accept that crisis and the future of work are now intertwined. About our guest: Angela Anderson earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Business and Spanish from Adams State University. She lives and works in Colorado.

The Dock By Matthew Leavenworth I feel the sand under my toes, The sky is blue. The sun is opaque behind thin clouds. A slight breeze blows across the water. The dock is a hundred yards in front of me, A peninsula out into a great expanse of water. I have a towel in my hands. My skin goosepimples and I shiver as the breeze picks up with a chill. I think about turning back. The water is too cold. The wind will chill me to the bone. There are sharks out there. Instead, I throw the towel aside and start forward. My steps are heavy at first, The wet sand swallows my feet, I can still turn back. I don't. I start jogging forward, My quickening steps find the wooden planks, faster and faster. There is no railing; only the sparkling cold and deep that will swallow me. The end of the dock looms, The thought occurs. I can turn back, I can stop unless I take another step. I leap forward. Into the open unknown. The water swallows me. It is all the pain and the triumph and everything I am. I am deep under water. Deeper and deeper, Until I see. Other shapes in the water, like mine, staring back at me, swimming also. Connections Family Counseling Join The Facebook group

For many, the onset of the coronavirus pandemic was terrifying. Descriptions of the outbreak in Europe and Asia led to panic buying and sheltering in place here at home. But, as time passed and people became acclimatized to life with masks and social distancing, many of those same people who were terrified at the outset began to let their guard down and take unnecessary risks.In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at a peculiar inconsistency around how we perceive risk and rare events.Jeff Elison is a professor and an avid rock climber. Jeff tells the story of a fateful climb on a beautiful sunny day just outside of Alamosa, Colorado. Jeff normally climbs with friends, but on this particular day, none of his regular partners were available. Early in his climbing career, Jeff might have balked at a solo climb, but as a veteran, he felt confident that he could manage the familiar climb safely. But then, he slipped and fell. …Jeff Elison is a professor of psychology at Adams State University. He is also the author of the book Vertical Mind: Psychological Approaches for Optimal Rock Climbing.Next, Ido Erev joins Katy to explain how we often overweight rare events when we make decisions based on a description and underweight rare events when we make decisions from experience. You’ll hear about his research identifying this phenomenon, as well as several personal anecdotes demonstrating how all of us fall prey to these miscalculations from time to time.Ido Erev is a psychologist, professor, and vice dean of the MBA program at the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology.Finally, Katy discusses strategies to mitigate the downsides of the description-experience gap in risky choice and ways to leverage the fact that we often underweight rare opportunities as well.Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

This week's episode of The Prison Post Podcast features my colleague Jason Bryant. Jason's 26 years to life sentence was commuted by Governor Gavin Newsom a little over a year ago. On April 2, 2020, Jason was set free and a few days later his co-defendant, CROP's Executive Director, Ted Gray was freed as well. Our journey and friendship on the inside was about to begin out here in society after over 20 years of incarceration. In this episode, Jason and I go down memory lane and share more details about his incarceration story, personal transformation, and CROP Organization's beginnings. We wanted our audience to have a fuller understanding of how our team came together, began to be of service on the inside to add value to our community, and continues to this day. Learn more about CROP Organization's Directors at http://croporganization.org/ As a Business Administration Graduate of Adams State University with a Master of Arts in philosophy from California State University Dominguez Hills and a Master of Science in psychology from California Coast University, Jason brings 20 years of lived experience within the CDCR. He primarily dedicated his term of incarceration to higher education and serving other people through thoughtful conversations about new possibilities for their lives. Jason, a co-founder of the Inside Solutions think tank, collaborated with the CROP Organization in the development of several prominent programs. He is a state-certified Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) counselor who received senatorial recognition for his contributions to program development. Additionally, Jason wrote a Master's degree thesis on the existential value of incarcerated people choosing to live responsibly (i.e., in alignment with their commitment to reunite with family) along with the importance of offering restorative programs within correctional institutions. Jason's sentence was commuted by the governor of California, who ordered his immediate release due to his remarkable contributions in restorative work while incarcerated. Jason is also a very happy husband, and proud father of two boys under the age of 3!

From heartfelt thank-you letters to painful accusations and everything in between, Dear Coach gives athletes a rare platform in the sports reform debate, beginning a much-needed conversation between athletes and coaches directly. Even so, the communication problems in sport are not just personal, but systemic. Dr. Erdner wrote Dear Coach with the intent to start a much needed conversation so all sport stakeholders can learn how to point sport in a more inclusive and equitable direction for all. Aside from being an author, Dr. Erdner received her Ph.D. in sport psychology from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. She currently works as the Coordinator for the M.S. in Coaching (online) degree & as the Assistant Professor of Coaching at Adams State University in Alamosa, CO. As a certified mental performance consultant (CMPC©, #712) through the Association of Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), Dr. Erdner also conducts independent mental performance services for a wide variety of performers, which includes working with youth, college, Olympic, and professional athletes.

On this episode I chat with Coach Mario Caetano of Adams State University. Coach Mario got his start in coaching at his alma mater Northern New Mexico College, while he was still receiving his undergraduate degree. He moved up the ranks and ended up becoming the top assistant coach & assistant Athletic Director. After 5 years on staff, his family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where he took some time away from college coaching. He was still involved with hoops on the AAU circuit, but worked at an elementary school & drove Uber and Lyft during his free time. Coach Mario ended up getting a call from the Northern New Mexico College Athletic Director, who offered him the Interim Head Coach position with only 8 games left in the season. That was another unique experience that Coach Mario dives into during our conversation. After bringing in 17 new recruits and removing the "interim" from his title, he was offered the top assistant position and recruiting coordinator title at Adams State University. He then made the decision to start a new journey at Adams State where he is currently in his first year. During this episode he dives into his journey in depth, explains what he has learned from 2020, advice for coaches, and so much more! Check it out!!

For those who have never heard of Coach Vigil, he is a legend in the coaching of US Track and Filed, Cross Country, and distance running. He has helped develop a coaching program for coaching runners, and has taught coaches all over the US, and in many other countries around the world. Although he has accomplished many things, gotten many awards, and coached dozens of Olympians, Coach Vigil is most loved for his compassion and caring for the “whole person” and not just the athlete. Chasing Excellence is a book about Coach Vigil’s life. It starts by telling us how Joe Vigil grew up to a single mom who worked very hard to provide food and shelter for 3 boys and made sure that they were always in line. They didn’t have very much in terms of material but with the work ethic instilled by his mom, his desire to help people, and his passion for sports, Joe ended up accomplishing many things that some would not have thought possible. Coach Joe Vigil has touched the lives of many people he has met, and this book is full of stories about the impact he had on different people. Not all his runners went to the Olympics, but many did great things because Coach Vigil not only believed in them, but also helped them believe in themselves. In this episode of Running Book Reviews we had the pleasure of interviewing the author (and one of Coach Vigil's former athletes), Pat Melgares.If you are interested in getting a copy of this book, please consider getting it straight from the publisher, Soulstice Publishing. A portion of the proceeds are going to establish the Joe I. Vigil Scholarship at Adams State University, and buying the from the publisher helps with this: https://soulsticepublishing.com/product/chasing-excellence-book/Pat Melgares has also been compiling more stories about Adams State and Joe I.

Good morning, you're listening to the Daily Apple, your source for the latest in Education News. I'm your host Jim Kent, the date is December 17, 2019. Before we get into the news of the day, I'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsor, VictoryXR. VXR's award-winning content, helps kids experience science and engineering in a way that they have never been able to before, while making sure to cover everything within the NextGen Science Standards, and they've made it accessible on every kind of VR headset you can think of. To find out more, check out VictoryXR.com But now for the news.The Hill reports that National Education Association (NEA) President Lily Eskelsen García on Monday said that even though she thinks Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has continued to target public schools, she credits the backlash for DeVos's appointment for helping to highlight national concerns over public education. García added that she thought DeVos has done more harm than good, accusing the education secretary of having "abandoned public schools." Department of Education press secretary Angela Morabito pushed back against García comments, saying that DeVos wants to "see education improve for all students." She also accused the union leader of trying to protect the "status quo." Though many decisions are made on a state and local level, García maintained that education is fundamentally a presidential issue, which she says was highlighted in Saturday's 2020 public education forum in Pittsburgh. DeVos, who has regularly championed charter schools, has recently come under intense scrutiny from congressional Democrats, especially when it comes to her handling of students who claim they were defrauded by for-profit colleges. During a tense hearing last week, Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) rebuked DeVos as "out to destroy public education." https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/474716-teachers-union-leader-devos-is-a-cautionary-tale-of-presidential-impact-on-public-education According to the Hartford Courant, The Connecticut Partnership for Education, a public-private partnership backed by billionaire Ray Dalio, is looking for teachers, employers and community leaders to help the new organization as it tackles challenges created by generations of poverty in Connecticut's cities. The partnership funded with a $100 million contribution each from the state of Connecticut and Dalio. The group also plans to raise $100 million. Under the state law creating the unusual partnership, board members are allowed to hold closed executive sessions.The partnership said state estimates show 50,000 to 60,000 disengaged and disconnected youths aged 14-24 across Connecticut. Almost 80% come from low-income backgrounds and 36% of boys of color. Data from 2014-2015 show Hartford, New Britain, Waterbury, Bridgeport and New Haven as having particularly high levels of disengaged and disconnected youth. But over 110 school systems statewide have at least 50 of these young people, and about 9,000 come from towns with above average income levels.In order to move forward and further define its program offerings, the board's first requirement is finding a CEO. https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-news-connecticut-lamont-partnership-20191216-f4bnd4dybzcjlkq2jiirbrzcna-story.htmlIn India, the Financial Times reports that A violent wave of protests against a citizenship law that critics said discriminates against Muslims gained strength on Indian campuses on Monday after police stormed a university in Delhi overnight. Many students at the Jamia Millia Islamia university in the Indian capital were injured and dozens arrested late on Sunday, setting off demonstrations at universities in Mumbai, Bangalore and other cities across the country on Monday. Students at Nadwa college in Lucknow threw stones at police after clashes at Aligarh Muslim University prompted authorities to impose an internet blackout. The campus chaos follows days of unrest around the country after parliament last week passed a law giving non-Muslim migrants from India's Muslim-majority neighbours a fast-track to Indian citizenship. The bill, championed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata party, provoked international condemnation from critics who said it discriminated against Muslims and undermined India's secular constitution. Amreen Farooq, a 24-year-old with a masters degree from Jamia Millia Islamia, said she was protesting the law because it was unconstitutional and designed to divert attention from India's economic slowdown. “This is a vicious cycle to distract the people,” she said. “The protests will keep happening until we get justice.” https://www.ft.com/content/81506adc-1fc7-11ea-b8a1-584213ee7b2bAccording to the Des Moines Register, One of the world's largest banks will reap a windfall from the University of Iowa's multi-billion-dollar plan to outsource its utility operations before students or faculty see any benefit from the deal.Wells Fargo is expected to get nearly 1% of the nearly $1.2 billion payment that the university has negotiated in exchange for leasing its utility system to a private operator, a university spokeswoman confirmed Friday.The university hired the bank last year to work as its strategic adviser on a plan to monetize its utility assets through a long-term management contract.Wells Fargo's contract, obtained by the Associated Press, shows that the bank was to be paid only at the “successful conclusion of a monetization transaction.” Its fee would begin at 0.75% of any transaction's value and escalate if the deal exceeded expectations. On Thursday, University spokeswoman, AnneBassett said the university was anticipating the firm's fee will average about 1% of the deal, or $11.65 million. On Friday afternoon, she provided a more detailed calculation estimating that Wells Fargo will receive about $10.45 million. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/2019/12/16/wells-fargo-get-millions-university-iowa-utilities-deal/2661878001/The Fix reports that A male student at Adams State University complained that he was repeatedly excluded from the campus gym because of his sex. A day later, the Colorado public university told him the weekly “Women's Night” had ended.It was an unexpectedly fast reversal, though the administration didn't directly tell student Chris Spears that his threat to file a Title IX complaint against the school had killed the program.Spears told The Fix in an email that he was tired of showing up to the gym all year and being told that men weren't allowed in the space on those evenings when he wanted to work out. Spears hasn't decided whether to drop his complaint in light of the administration's response, or continue to pursue it for retroactive relief. He told The Fix he would “like to see a legally binding document saying the gym will never exclude people on the basis of sex ever again.” https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-ditches-womens-night-at-gym-after-male-student-threatens-title-ix-complaint/According to the South China Morning Post, A top university in central China has expelled nearly 100 international students amid a national call for colleges to get tougher on students from overseas.Wuhan University in Wuhan, Hubei province, expelled 92 students from more than 10 countries for problems ranging from poor grades to discipline violations and failure to pay tuition fees, Changjiang Daily reported on Monday.The expulsions followed warnings to the students a year earlier, the report said, quoting a staff member in the admissions office of the university's School of International Education.In the past, the university expelled just one or two overseas students a year, but the number rose this year in response to the Ministry of Education's call to improve standards for overseas studentsWhile most Chinese students heading overseas opt for colleges in Europe, North America or Australia, most students coming into China were from the developing world, according to ministry data.Last year, nearly 60 per cent of China's half-million foreign students were from Asia, while about 16 per cent were from Africa. KMVT in Idaho reports that Presidents from Idaho's four-year higher education institutions announced a freeze in tuition for resident undergraduate students in 2020.The announcement was made Thursday. A news release said University of Idaho, Lewis-Clark State College, Boise State University and Idaho State University are taking this step to address the issue of college affordability in Idaho.Idaho Gov. Brad Little said he commends the university presidents for not seeking tuition increases. Idaho State Board of Education President Debbie Critchfield said the presidents “made good on a pledge” made last spring to work with the board to contain tuition costs. Critchfield said the board is discussing a long-term plan and explained that state funding hasn't returned to pre-recession levels and internal costs at universities continue to rise. In April, Idaho colleges and universities approved tuition increases. University of Idaho approved a 5.6% increase for in-state undergraduate students. Boise State University full-time resident undergrads saw an increase of 4.9%. Idaho State University full-time resident students paid 6.1% more. Lewis-Clark State College increased tuition by 5.5% for full-time undergrads. And that rounds it up for todays headlines. Thanks again to VictoryXr for making this all possible.

The end result of all that drive is not the social media declaration or the day you're handed a jersey. The end result of that hard work is not a destination, it is the beginning of a long, difficult, but rewarding journey. It has nothing to do with getting anything, and everything to do with giving the result of all that hard work to a group of athletes who all dreamed that same dream to become something incredible together. The coaches who chose you? They chose your potential. No one is recruited to come stay the same and play as they did in high school. The work isn't done, it hasn't even scratched the surface. The act of being recruited is all about racing towards the opportunity to join a bigger race.The problem with all that focus on getting a spot on the perfect team, is that often when the time comes to get to work and all the announcements, gear handouts, Instagram Pics and stories are over, it no longer feels like the prize that was built up in the athletes' heads. It doesn't feel like a trophy! It maybe even feels a little like punishment, and work that's beyond what's been done before, stress, and disappointment because it's not perfect or even close. “The coach loved me when she recruited me, but now the season has started, and I can't do anything right!” could be muttered by almost every freshman on the pitch.The athlete turnover rate or drop off rate at many programs is very real, even the great ones, because the expectation and reality of playing collegiate lacrosse is being overshadowed and downplayed by the excitement of announcing the coveted offered roster spot.Here are five tips to get your mindset prepared for what's ahead so that you can have a rewarding collegiate career. Enjoy the announcement BUT save your real excitement for the journey that's coming ahead in your next four years. Because it's the journey that holds the real prize, the joy, and the memories. It's the process that builds sustainable grit, commitment, success, and growth. It's the daily interactions and triumphs over obstacles that take a little girl's dream and turn it into an experience that she'll remember and cherish for a lifetime. It's not a destination, it's an adventure!1.Train at the level you want to play for, now. If waking up at 5 am for lifting followed by running all before breakfast and then a full day of classes, study hall, and finishing the night with a rigorous practice seem like torture now, then you may want to reconsider your plans. You won't suddenly be all about it just because you're in college.2.Practice building relationships with your teammates and classmates, especially the ones you struggle to mesh with. Because your ability to contribute to a great team culture is held back by strained relationships and cliques. If you find fault with many people on your team now, you won't be better off on your new team. Those personalities exist everywhere, and you'll struggle even more when the pressure is double. It's not about needing a new team, but about being a better and more effective teammate yourself.3.As Jon Gordon says, be a dose of vitamin C instead of a Germ. When things get hard, be the positive voice that gets people rallied behind encouragement and belief rather than a complainer. Your enjoyment during your collegiate career is hinged completely on how you choose to view every situation, and your influence on the team is a big piece to your program's overall success.4.Reframe every struggle from being an obstacle to an opportunity. Playing time, injuries, personality differences, misunderstandings, and mistakes are all opportunities to make you a better person, teammate, and athlete. Train yourself to find the lesson in the disappointments before they derail you. Then, tackle those opportunities with action and excitement at what's to come.5.Be grateful in everything. For every athlete who gets that spot to play in college, there are several who never realized that dream. They may not have had the exposure, the athleticism needed, or they weren't encouraged, and they quit, or they had career-ending injuries, or a life catastrophe, and some maybe didn't get to live long enough to live the dream out. For every one of those girls who didn't get to put on the jersey you have hanging in your locker, fill yourself with gratitude no matter what you are facing. It's not fun to run in 30-degree weather before the sun is up when you had to study late and have a cold. It can be miserable, but it's also a gift. Because that training is an opportunity so many others wished for and it means that come game day, you're going to pile into that bus with your teammates and live the dream. Every day you get up and get to be a part of something you worked so hard for is an opportunity to say “I GET TO” do this today! But don't wait until college, start practicing gratitude right now for your high school team, imperfections and all!For all the work you put in to find the best fit for you academically and athletically, don't neglect the work in mindset that will help you love the journey all the way through and get the most out of it. That NLI isn't the goal, it's a gateway and you must be prepared for what's on the other side, so you can find the real reward.
Counselors often face important questions as to where the values they express in their work are rooted. In this episode we look to postmodern philosophers for insight into how we know what is the correct way to conduct counseling and understand clients. We are joined by Dr. Givens. Dr. Joel Givens is the president-elect of the Association for Humanistic Counseling. Joel is an Assistant Professor of Counselor Education at Adams State University. Joel’s research is focused on the integration of philosophy with counseling, counselor education, and supervision. Joel has published on values in counseling, deconstruction, phenomenology, and desire. Joel has been a licensed professional counselor in Colorado for twelve years and has worked in crisis mental health, clinical supervision, private practice, and residential treatment.

Run The Globe: See The Possibility - Experience The Breakthrough
“Champions dont have the best of everything they make the best of everything.” -Damon Martin Our guest Kyle Masterson is the epitome of a story worth telling. Kyle grew up in Northeast Ohio where distance running is considered to be extremely competitive in comparison to other states in the US. Although Kyle was talented in high school, he was often overshadowed by runners who were simply on another level. In pursuit of developing as a distance runner, Kyle chose to take the road less traveled by not going to any one of the numerous universities that would have guaranteed him scholarships to continue his running career. The year following high school he instead chose to walk-on to the most storied running program in the history of collegiate cross country, Adams State University. On paper Kyle was not close to being considered a varsity runner, but he knew that if he surrounded himself with talented athletes and great coaches he too could become great. So Kyle traveled the 1,700 miles from home in pursuit of a challenge and the with the desire of becoming a story worth telling. Like most collegiate athletes he experienced injuries, setbacks, and moments of frustration. However, through his incredible dedication, consistency, and unwavering faith he was able to develop into one of the country’s best distance runners. Kyle graduated Adam’s State as a three time All-American and as a member of multiple national championship teams. Kyle currently lives in Colorado with his wife Lauren and is pursuing his passion as professional distance runner for Skechers Performance. Recently Kyle was 1 of 24 Americans who competed at the United States Track & Field Championships in the 10,000 meters in Des Moines, Iowa.

Show notes can be found here Knocked off his bicycle by a drunken container truck driver Laurie sustained a severe traumatic brain injury, a broken neck & an amputated right leg. At the time he was in the final year of a PhD in Exercise Science that focused on muscle metabolism and feedback to the brain, the same systems that were now severely disrupted. Laurie’s subsequent research emerged from his personal struggles in regaining his own health and wellbeing. His focus changed to researching the brain-body link with a particular interest in optimising bodily stress reactivity (composure) when performing under pressure. Nervous system training entails using correct body posture, slow conscious movements and heightened awareness to undo the mental interference which prevents our bodily systems from working harmoniously. This enables us to tap into the 3 motivated behaviours programmed in our deeply subconscious reptilian brain. ‘Motivated’ behaviours, are naturally done without thinking PLUS they release energy into the body. When these do not occur naturally (mostly due to mental interference) the release of energy is inhibited and we feel tension in the body. www.calminthestormsa.com Ian and Laurie discuss; Laurie’s Background The accident Free Rock Climbing Incident Discovering to relax the body and focus the mind Learning to walk again Trusting the body Achieving that state of mind Dopamine and the reward system Movement is generated from the spine Serotonin and thinking Stay relaxed, or cortisol and adrenaline kick in Serotonin shuts off the pain response Minimise the stress, the thinking and let the body heal itself Your body and your heart have to buy into it Experimenting with exercise and scanning the brain The effects of Dopamine using Ritalin The link with Dopamine and Obesity Health and Wellbeing Exercise The heart healthy ‘Rest & Digest’ system Resting heart rates Drew from the Pop-Up Gym shares his journey Drew’s recovery in the US The lack of rehab/recovery facilities in the UK The Pop-Up Gym facilities Specialised training for wheelchair users Drew Graham - Pop-up Gym Drew, 33, was an athlete specializing in middle distance running, namely the 1500m. During his late teenage years and early twenties, Drew experienced a lot of success on the track, winning several northern championships and competing at the British Olympic trials following which Drew was awarded a sports scholarship to Adams State University in Colorado, USA where he studied human performance and physical education with a minor in business alongside competing in the National Collegiate Athletics Association. Whilst in America Drew won several NCAA titles at both 1500m and 1 mile and in both individual and team capacities. Following graduation Drew moved to Texas to become a running coach at Abeline Christian University where worked for several years, however this all came to an abrupt end whilst on a visit to see his girlfriend in Colorado when Drew was training for a triathlon and went for a swim in a nearby lake. Unfortunately, a sand bar had formed so as he dove into the lake he broke his neck and crushed his spinal cord, resulting in paralysis from the chest down. Following a year attending a of state of the art rehabilitation in the USA, Drew returned to the UK to find access and opportunities to use similar equipment severely lacking, with those that were available being extremely expensive. Thus the idea for Pop-Up Gym was born and after two years of fundraising and establishing Pop-Up Gym as a charity, it was finally opened on the 15th January 2018. We now have over 30 members using the gym regularly, and plan to take it out on the road around the North of England to help those who are unable to travel to Gateshead.
In this episode Eric interviews Leslie Cramblet Alvarez from Adams State University in Alamosa, CO. Leslie is a leader in our field, whether at her own Hispanic serving institution or the national stage. Her decision-making after earning her bachelor's degree mirrors many of today's students, and Leslie's tenacity and drive are equally inspirational. Leslie describes the benefits of marriage to a therapist, and she discusses her research, exploring why women have been left out of the history of psychology.

Expisode 300 – Coach Andrew Kastor and much frivolity… (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4300.mp3] Link epi4300.mp3 Intro: Hello my friends and welcome to episode 300 of the RunRunLive podcast. For those of you who have been friends for a bit you'll realize that this is a necessary departure from our standard format to celebrate our Tri-centennial. For those of you who may be new to our little endurance sports journal, well you'll just have to figure it out by listening to some of the other shows. Thanks you to Tony for the marathon prayer intro. Tony does a regular segment called Tony's Trials on the Marathon Talk UK Podcast (link). One of our executive editors, Alex form the UK got permission from them for us to use it. Marathon Talk UK -> All about running. A weekly podcast dedicated to keeping you on the inside track to successful running. Presented by Martin Yelling and Tom Williams Tony Audenshaw - Tony's Trials I'm guessing we are going to go long today, so you'd better schedule a long run or ride or whatever for this one. I've invited some of my friends to submit audios and I'm going to be completely frivolous and indiscrete with too many musical interludes. Just sit back and let it wash over you like a wave of warm molasses. Chill out. No rules for this one. It's going to be a long show and the format is going to be different than usual, but you want to hang around until the end because the ASICS team has asked me to give some shoes away and I'll set up the contest in the show outro. Everybody likes free shoes. It's been a long run, huh? We've seen births and deaths and marriages and divorces. The cycle of life. For everything there is a season and you've certainly ornamented my life for the better through these many seasons. In today's 300th official episode I'm going to talk about community at some point and this strange and wonderful long distance relationship we all share wrapped around our sports. I may tell a zombie story, for the Halloween season, just for fun. I've gathered up some guest commentary for you to enjoy, if for no other reason than to quiet the voices in your head. But, Fear not! We are going to wrap all the frivolity around a great interview with coach Andrew Kastor who I met through the ASICS NYC marathon Editor's Choice boondoggle, I mean ‘program'. I really enjoyed talking to Andrew about altitude training and geeking out on training topics in general. It's a great running-content-rich interview and I feel I'm doing it a disservice by sandwiching it into all this 300th episode frooforal. Nothing significantly new in my training. I'm feeling fairly strong. I got a nice 2:30 long run in over the weekend that was significant in that I was able to maintain my HR and pace consistently throughout without power failure. Too many of my long runs over the summer ended with a death march – so I think that's progress. I'm still trying to find my racing speed. Maybe it's gone for good. I appear to be healthy, so maybe I'm just entering a new phase of slowness. It really doesn't matter because either way I'm going to get up every day and throw myself at my workouts as part of my balance. With the MCM and NYC coming up in couple weeks on back to back weekends my plan is not to race them but instead try to walk away healthy. Then we can throw in a targeted cycle for either a mid-winter race or a spring race. I'm looking at some shorter stuff too to fill the gaps. Looking forward to some grand adventures with new and old friends alike. So…my friends, bear with me as we take off our shirts and dance on the tables today, throwing all rigor and caution to the wind, because, hey, we're among friends, and friends take the time to celebrate their accomplishments. On with the show! Steve Runner What can you say about Steve that hasn't been said? He's the five-star General of running podcasts – a landmark – a fixture – a guiding light for all of us. And, even though I know he doesn't listen to my show he caught on to the zombie theme and submitted a slickly produced mini-episode. Brilliant as always. Katy Thereux It always warms my heart when I hear from women who listen to the show and get something out of it. Katy sent me this very nice missive. Apparently we resonate in some way through the universal mastermind. That's one of the dynamics of the digital world – your ideas can slip free of the physical and resonate with like minds in the ether. Section One The Sleepless in Seattle Effect - http://runrunlive.com/sleepless-in-seattle-effect Music -> Bombskare –“I'm so Happy!” Carlos I've been listening to Carlos and watching him run through his beloved Pacific Northwest Mountains and forest for many years. I would have never had the opportunity to know Carlos if it wasn't for being part of the online running community. He's always got the Grateful Dead playing in the background. It seems like an idyllic life to me, running in the forest and listening to the dead. How could it get any better? Ann Brennan So sometimes in the digital world you get to meet actual crazy people. I've had the great pleasure of meeting Ann and her husband and kids and I've learned a lot from her trials and resiliency and openness. If everything goes right I'll get to eat dinner at her place with the Miles to end Prostate cancer team before the Marine Corp Marathon. The world is a better place with Ann's life force. Steve Chopper Steve was one of the original running podcasters with his high quality show “A mile with me” I always aspired to be as professional as Steve. His first shows were works of art, like BBC documentaries. I've met Steve in the flesh and broken bread with him. When we met we immediately bonded and of course we ran and raced each other like kids in the schoolyard. Featured Interview Coach Andrew Kastor http://www.coachkastor.com/about/ About The Coach Andrew started his running career in the early 1990's, at the young age of 14, when he competed in cross county, track and road racing while attending Fountain Valley High School in Southern California. He then went on to pursue a degree in Exercise Physiology (B.S. 2000) from Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado. While in college, Andrew's commitment to the sport of running continued to grow, as he competed in cross-country and track, specializing in the middle-distance events. Post-graduation, Andrew moved to Mammoth Lakes, California, where he created and coached a non-profit running club called the High Sierra Striders. He is now the head coach for the ASICS Mammoth Track Club and the LA Road Runners. Andrew currently resides in Mammoth Lakes with his wife Deena (Olympic Marathon bronze medalist and American Record holder in the marathon and half-marathon) and their daughter, Piper Bloom. Music Big D and the Kid's Table – “Myself” Duane Hespell Comment: Obviously I caught Duane on a good day. I think he was just waiting for a chance to bust out with some creative audio. He went all extra-mile on me. That's another fun thing about our community – you discover people's hidden talents! Thanks Duane. Maryro Mendez comment I've been having conversations with this young lady for a long time but I seldom hear her voice! Wow! What an amazing voice! I can die happy now. We made a bet one time when we both had marathons on the same weekend. I happened to have a decent race so I won! I don't care so much about the lobster dinner but I am happy to have made a friend that I'm grateful for. Section Two: Zombie Apocalypse - http://runrunlive.com/zombie-apocalypse-300-act-one Peter Herridge I first got to know Peter through Phedipidations as he and Steve traded philosophical arguments. Peter is a thoughtful man and I enjoy listening to him turn big thoughts over in his head and look at them in a fresh, learned and interesting way. I'd never get that chance if it wasn't for joining this community and my life would be poorer for it. Eddie and Adam: What does it sound like when two long lost friends get together after a long absence and start drinking craft beer? I guess this bit from Eddie and Adam answers that question. I've spent time with both these guys and can confirm that when they're not addled on homebrew they're both way smarter than I am. I'm hoping someday my association with them rubs off and I graduate to a better person because of it. Outro: Drag your tired body out of the mud. Push back the ravenous hoards. Celebrate! We've come to a milestone. We've survived. We've grown. We've run, we've run some more and maybe we've even lived a little. I hope to keep that streak alive. Frankly, I'm not sure what the show format is going to be going forward but I will do what I can to fill the void, to light a candle, to shine my feeble light into the dark and murky corners and find forgotten or unnoticed treasures, to weave into the tapestry of our mutual, digital experience. ASICS Gel Kayano 21 NYC Shoe Give Away! Go here & post a comment to win some shoes -> http://runrunlive.com/asics-gel-kayano-21-nyc-shoe-give-away My friends at ASICS America want me to give away a pair of NYC GEL-Kayano 21. These are $160 shoes. I've never run in them (although I'm up to 5 different pairs of shoes that I'm testing to run NYC in ). They are decribed on the ASICS website as follow. The new GEL-Kayano® 21 NYC special edition was made for the 2014 TCS New York City Marathon and is updated with nothing but the best in ASICS technical innovation, featuring the next generation of FluidRide™ and an Ortholite X-40 sockliner for the lightest and most luxuriously stable ride yet. Mild to moderate overpronators will run the streets of New York City in secure comfort, thanks to the new uniquely designed FluidFit™ upper and Heel Clutching System™. So, it sounds like a light stability shoe. If that sounds like something you want I've set up a post on my website at RunRunLive.com and all you have to do is go register. We'll pick a winner on NYC race weekend. Just make sure you give a real email address when you're posting or we won't be able to find you! So my friends, as hard as it is to find the time to slap a show together every couple weeks, I really do enjoy it. If it wasn't for the RunRunLive Podcast to keep me occupied I clearly would have written a best-selling novel by now, and then I would have sold the rights to Hollywood, gone out there, hooked up with the drugs, the alcohol and starlets with questionable morals. I would have gotten divorced, and I'd be sleeping in my own filth in a West Hollywood gutter right now...so you've saved me from all that. I am almost done with my MarathonBQ book. 15 chapters in. I had a couple people raise their hands for editing and I sent them drafts, but never heard from them again… It took longer than a month but I wouldn't have gotten it done at all if I hadn't challenged myself. I'll edit and polish it up and do a launch in the next couple months. Here's an actual value added tip that I heard a couple weeks ago. When you work on a creative process the emotional energy and momentum is shaped like a ‘U'. When you first start you are all excited and full of energy and you make progress quickly, like the straight side of the ‘U'. Then when you get part way through you start to realize all the things that need to be worked out and you get mired down. You start going sideways into distracting offshoot. You lose your momentum and your excitement for the project. This is the bent part at the bottom of the ‘U'. It is here that many people give up on their creative projects. It becomes work and the light at the end of the tunnel seems so far away. This is where experience helps. You might say this phase of the creative project is similar to ‘the dark place' that I talk about in training cycles. You have to put your head down, soldier on and push through. Then as you approach the end of the creative project everything start to coalesce. It all starts coming together. Everything becomes clear and it is joyous again as you wrap things up and birth the finished product. This is the other straight side of the ‘U'. Remember the ‘U' process and it will help you stick to your path when things get hard. It's been close to 2 years since we rolled out version 3.0 of the RunRunLive podcast. As always you can find me on Gmail or most social networks as CYKTRussell. All of my slightly bent U-shaped projects are available at my website RunRunLive.com. And you know what?

Expisode 300 – Coach Andrew Kastor and much frivolity… (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4300.mp3] Link epi4300.mp3 Intro: Hello my friends and welcome to episode 300 of the RunRunLive podcast. For those of you who have been friends for a bit you’ll realize that this is a necessary departure from our standard format to celebrate our Tri-centennial. For those of you who may be new to our little endurance sports journal, well you’ll just have to figure it out by listening to some of the other shows. Thanks you to Tony for the marathon prayer intro. Tony does a regular segment called Tony’s Trials on the Marathon Talk UK Podcast (link). One of our executive editors, Alex form the UK got permission from them for us to use it. Marathon Talk UK -> All about running. A weekly podcast dedicated to keeping you on the inside track to successful running. Presented by Martin Yelling and Tom Williams Tony Audenshaw - Tony's Trials I’m guessing we are going to go long today, so you’d better schedule a long run or ride or whatever for this one. I’ve invited some of my friends to submit audios and I’m going to be completely frivolous and indiscrete with too many musical interludes. Just sit back and let it wash over you like a wave of warm molasses. Chill out. No rules for this one. It’s going to be a long show and the format is going to be different than usual, but you want to hang around until the end because the ASICS team has asked me to give some shoes away and I’ll set up the contest in the show outro. Everybody likes free shoes. It’s been a long run, huh? We’ve seen births and deaths and marriages and divorces. The cycle of life. For everything there is a season and you’ve certainly ornamented my life for the better through these many seasons. In today’s 300th official episode I’m going to talk about community at some point and this strange and wonderful long distance relationship we all share wrapped around our sports. I may tell a zombie story, for the Halloween season, just for fun. I’ve gathered up some guest commentary for you to enjoy, if for no other reason than to quiet the voices in your head. But, Fear not! We are going to wrap all the frivolity around a great interview with coach Andrew Kastor who I met through the ASICS NYC marathon Editor’s Choice boondoggle, I mean ‘program’. I really enjoyed talking to Andrew about altitude training and geeking out on training topics in general. It’s a great running-content-rich interview and I feel I’m doing it a disservice by sandwiching it into all this 300th episode frooforal. Nothing significantly new in my training. I’m feeling fairly strong. I got a nice 2:30 long run in over the weekend that was significant in that I was able to maintain my HR and pace consistently throughout without power failure. Too many of my long runs over the summer ended with a death march – so I think that’s progress. I’m still trying to find my racing speed. Maybe it’s gone for good. I appear to be healthy, so maybe I’m just entering a new phase of slowness. It really doesn’t matter because either way I’m going to get up every day and throw myself at my workouts as part of my balance. With the MCM and NYC coming up in couple weeks on back to back weekends my plan is not to race them but instead try to walk away healthy. Then we can throw in a targeted cycle for either a mid-winter race or a spring race. I’m looking at some shorter stuff too to fill the gaps. Looking forward to some grand adventures with new and old friends alike. So…my friends, bear with me as we take off our shirts and dance on the tables today, throwing all rigor and caution to the wind, because, hey, we’re among friends, and friends take the time to celebrate their accomplishments. On with the show! Steve Runner What can you say about Steve that hasn’t been said? He’s the five-star General of running podcasts – a landmark – a fixture – a guiding light for all of us. And, even though I know he doesn’t listen to my show he caught on to the zombie theme and submitted a slickly produced mini-episode. Brilliant as always. Katy Thereux It always warms my heart when I hear from women who listen to the show and get something out of it. Katy sent me this very nice missive. Apparently we resonate in some way through the universal mastermind. That’s one of the dynamics of the digital world – your ideas can slip free of the physical and resonate with like minds in the ether. Section One The Sleepless in Seattle Effect - http://runrunlive.com/sleepless-in-seattle-effect Music -> Bombskare –“I’m so Happy!” Carlos I’ve been listening to Carlos and watching him run through his beloved Pacific Northwest Mountains and forest for many years. I would have never had the opportunity to know Carlos if it wasn’t for being part of the online running community. He’s always got the Grateful Dead playing in the background. It seems like an idyllic life to me, running in the forest and listening to the dead. How could it get any better? Ann Brennan So sometimes in the digital world you get to meet actual crazy people. I’ve had the great pleasure of meeting Ann and her husband and kids and I’ve learned a lot from her trials and resiliency and openness. If everything goes right I’ll get to eat dinner at her place with the Miles to end Prostate cancer team before the Marine Corp Marathon. The world is a better place with Ann’s life force. Steve Chopper Steve was one of the original running podcasters with his high quality show “A mile with me” I always aspired to be as professional as Steve. His first shows were works of art, like BBC documentaries. I’ve met Steve in the flesh and broken bread with him. When we met we immediately bonded and of course we ran and raced each other like kids in the schoolyard. Featured Interview Coach Andrew Kastor http://www.coachkastor.com/about/ About The Coach Andrew started his running career in the early 1990’s, at the young age of 14, when he competed in cross county, track and road racing while attending Fountain Valley High School in Southern California. He then went on to pursue a degree in Exercise Physiology (B.S. 2000) from Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado. While in college, Andrew’s commitment to the sport of running continued to grow, as he competed in cross-country and track, specializing in the middle-distance events. Post-graduation, Andrew moved to Mammoth Lakes, California, where he created and coached a non-profit running club called the High Sierra Striders. He is now the head coach for the ASICS Mammoth Track Club and the LA Road Runners. Andrew currently resides in Mammoth Lakes with his wife Deena (Olympic Marathon bronze medalist and American Record holder in the marathon and half-marathon) and their daughter, Piper Bloom. Music Big D and the Kid’s Table – “Myself” Duane Hespell Comment: Obviously I caught Duane on a good day. I think he was just waiting for a chance to bust out with some creative audio. He went all extra-mile on me. That’s another fun thing about our community – you discover people’s hidden talents! Thanks Duane. Maryro Mendez comment I’ve been having conversations with this young lady for a long time but I seldom hear her voice! Wow! What an amazing voice! I can die happy now. We made a bet one time when we both had marathons on the same weekend. I happened to have a decent race so I won! I don’t care so much about the lobster dinner but I am happy to have made a friend that I’m grateful for. Section Two: Zombie Apocalypse - http://runrunlive.com/zombie-apocalypse-300-act-one Peter Herridge I first got to know Peter through Phedipidations as he and Steve traded philosophical arguments. Peter is a thoughtful man and I enjoy listening to him turn big thoughts over in his head and look at them in a fresh, learned and interesting way. I’d never get that chance if it wasn’t for joining this community and my life would be poorer for it. Eddie and Adam: What does it sound like when two long lost friends get together after a long absence and start drinking craft beer? I guess this bit from Eddie and Adam answers that question. I’ve spent time with both these guys and can confirm that when they’re not addled on homebrew they’re both way smarter than I am. I’m hoping someday my association with them rubs off and I graduate to a better person because of it. Outro: Drag your tired body out of the mud. Push back the ravenous hoards. Celebrate! We’ve come to a milestone. We’ve survived. We’ve grown. We’ve run, we’ve run some more and maybe we’ve even lived a little. I hope to keep that streak alive. Frankly, I’m not sure what the show format is going to be going forward but I will do what I can to fill the void, to light a candle, to shine my feeble light into the dark and murky corners and find forgotten or unnoticed treasures, to weave into the tapestry of our mutual, digital experience. ASICS Gel Kayano 21 NYC Shoe Give Away! Go here & post a comment to win some shoes -> http://runrunlive.com/asics-gel-kayano-21-nyc-shoe-give-away My friends at ASICS America want me to give away a pair of NYC GEL-Kayano 21. These are $160 shoes. I’ve never run in them (although I’m up to 5 different pairs of shoes that I’m testing to run NYC in ). They are decribed on the ASICS website as follow. The new GEL-Kayano® 21 NYC special edition was made for the 2014 TCS New York City Marathon and is updated with nothing but the best in ASICS technical innovation, featuring the next generation of FluidRide™ and an Ortholite X-40 sockliner for the lightest and most luxuriously stable ride yet. Mild to moderate overpronators will run the streets of New York City in secure comfort, thanks to the new uniquely designed FluidFit™ upper and Heel Clutching System™. So, it sounds like a light stability shoe. If that sounds like something you want I’ve set up a post on my website at RunRunLive.com and all you have to do is go register. We’ll pick a winner on NYC race weekend. Just make sure you give a real email address when you’re posting or we won’t be able to find you! So my friends, as hard as it is to find the time to slap a show together every couple weeks, I really do enjoy it. If it wasn’t for the RunRunLive Podcast to keep me occupied I clearly would have written a best-selling novel by now, and then I would have sold the rights to Hollywood, gone out there, hooked up with the drugs, the alcohol and starlets with questionable morals. I would have gotten divorced, and I’d be sleeping in my own filth in a West Hollywood gutter right now...so you’ve saved me from all that. I am almost done with my MarathonBQ book. 15 chapters in. I had a couple people raise their hands for editing and I sent them drafts, but never heard from them again… It took longer than a month but I wouldn’t have gotten it done at all if I hadn’t challenged myself. I’ll edit and polish it up and do a launch in the next couple months. Here’s an actual value added tip that I heard a couple weeks ago. When you work on a creative process the emotional energy and momentum is shaped like a ‘U’. When you first start you are all excited and full of energy and you make progress quickly, like the straight side of the ‘U’. Then when you get part way through you start to realize all the things that need to be worked out and you get mired down. You start going sideways into distracting offshoot. You lose your momentum and your excitement for the project. This is the bent part at the bottom of the ‘U’. It is here that many people give up on their creative projects. It becomes work and the light at the end of the tunnel seems so far away. This is where experience helps. You might say this phase of the creative project is similar to ‘the dark place’ that I talk about in training cycles. You have to put your head down, soldier on and push through. Then as you approach the end of the creative project everything start to coalesce. It all starts coming together. Everything becomes clear and it is joyous again as you wrap things up and birth the finished product. This is the other straight side of the ‘U’. Remember the ‘U’ process and it will help you stick to your path when things get hard. It’s been close to 2 years since we rolled out version 3.0 of the RunRunLive podcast. As always you can find me on Gmail or most social networks as CYKTRussell. All of my slightly bent U-shaped projects are available at my website RunRunLive.com. And you know what? I’ll see you out there. Music: Tim Armstrong – “Hold on” Music in this show (All from Music Alley and Podsafe!)
