Editor, director, and producer Whit Conway explains how the Hulu comedy Never Change! was assembled on an unusually compressed post-production schedule. He discusses cutting scenes while production was still underway, building an organized Adobe Premiere Pro workflow, using searchable transcripts to locate alternate performances, and collaborating with director and co-editor Marty Schousboe. Conway also shares how constant iteration shapes comedy, why editors cannot become precious about an early cut, and how aspiring comedy filmmakers can create the work they want to be hired to make. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Whit Conway discuss... How Whit's previous collaborations with director Marty Schousboe led to Never Change! Why the film's budget and delivery schedule required editing to begin during production Completing an initial assembly within a week of production wrapping Applying lessons from the fast-paced editorial workflows of Saturday Night Live and Joe Pera Talks With You Organizing footage into scene sequences and line-by-line collections of every performance How front-loading editorial organization saves time when producers request alternate takes Treating the first cut as a strong starting point rather than a version that must be protected Adjusting individual jokes by only a few frames and testing different reaction shots Preserving previous versions of scenes without formally tracking every editorial change Recognizing when a joke needs more work versus when the filmmakers have simply watched it too many times Using Premiere Pro's searchable speech-to-text transcripts to find improvised lines and specific takes Collaborating with directors who edit and directors who communicate their ideas conceptually Why strong directors know what they want while remaining open to better ideas from collaborators Managing creative disagreements, competing producer notes, and compressed deadlines How walks and time away from the edit room can help collaborators reset Why budget limitations ultimately determine when the filmmakers must put their pencils down Building a comedy-editing career by making long-form work, studying classic comedies, and creating projects with friends Treating unpaid personal projects as “extra credit” that can lead to new professional opportunities Memorable Quotes: “It is just my job to put the first version of the moment together as fast as I can and also be tickled by it.” “I think great directors do a couple of things. One, I think they know what they want. They know what the moment should be. Two, they are open and willing to see other versions of that moment.” “I think you don't have to have all the answers all the time.” “People understand you and know you through the work that you have done, that they have seen you do.” Guests: Whit Conway Resources: Watch Never Change! on Hulu Whit Conway's Website Adobe Premiere Speech to Text How These SNL Editors Cut an Emmy-Nominated Sketch With 60+ VFX Shots in 2 Days Cutting Comedy: Inside the Edit of Saturday Night Live's 50th Anniversary Field Producing on Last Week Tonight & Tackling Vimeo's EU/UK Problem Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

Maximizing Fitness, Fat Loss & Running Through Perimenopause
Your cravings, mood swings, bloating and sluggish workouts are not signs that you are losing control, but are signals that your body needs different support.In this episode, Louise Valentine, one of the world's leading women's holistic health, fitness and performance experts, sits down with Jen to explain how hormonal surges around ovulation and the luteal phase can affect female runners during perimenopause. They discuss why tracking your menstrual cycle and being aware of specific symptoms can help you recognize patterns in your energy, appetite, mood, recovery and performance instead of blaming yourself.Louise explains that research indicates that women burn more calories during the luteal phase, which can increase hunger and the need for additional carbohydrates in active women. Simple adjustments, such as adding an additional nourishing snack, female-specific hydration and slight modifications in workout intensity can help ease cravings, anxiety, fatigue, frustrating bloating, GI distress and low moods.They also discuss the risks of underfueling, following rigid nutrition plans and combining intense training with alcohol, stress and poor recovery. The key is not to stop pursuing your goals, but to understand when your body needs specific support and adjustments. Your goal after listening is to choose a few strategies specific to your goals and symptoms, track the results, and get back to feeling more confident, energized and in control throughout your cycle.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn more & apply to join our Podcast Insiders membership here: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/podcastinsidersLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.comLearn, laugh & level up with a Breaking Through Wellness masterclass here.Check out my FullScript here where you can see my curated favorite supplement picks, by topic, to address your concerns & save 25% off!

This week I'm discussing the latest Social Security Trustees Report, what it means for your future benefits, what changes may be coming, and how millions of Americans are already planning ahead. I'll dig into the psychology and strategy of spending down your savings once you retire, including how to transition from saving to spending, why an "intentional adjustment" matters, and the critical role of having a written plan. I also answer listener questions about withdrawal strategies and how to weigh the decision of working "one more year." You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:32] The latest Social Security Trustee Report [09:14] Discussing Social Security and Retirement Strategies [12:12] Adjusting to Retirement Spending [16:25] Finding purpose in retirement spending [19:44] The go-go years in retirement [26:56] Withdrawal strategies and investment planning [32:28] Managing taxes with inherited IRA [37:24] Evaluating Retirement vs. Working Longer [43:03] Understanding Annuity Penalties and Risks What the Latest Social Security Report Means Recent headlines about Social Security's future have stirred anxiety for those nearing—or already in—retirement. The Social Security Trustees' latest report brings sobering news: if no legislative action is taken, benefits will face a 22% cut by the end of 2032. For the average American, that translates to receiving just 78 cents on the dollar compared to today's checks. Roughly 73 million Americans currently collect Social Security, with that number projected to hit nearly 80 million by 2035. 66% of today's retirees lean heavily on these benefits, up from 52% twenty years ago. Aging populations, fewer pensions, and growing living costs further exacerbate the shortfall. Adjusting Your Retirement Plan in Uncertain Times With these potential benefit cuts looming, many are rethinking their assumptions. Some pre-retirees adjust their retirement income projections to reflect "worst-case" Social Security—assuming perhaps only 75-78% of currently promised benefits. This kind of conservatism can bring peace of mind when planning, though it's still possible that Congressional fixes will preserve more generous payouts. Planning for the unknown also means keeping tabs on Social Security's annual earnings cap, which is rising—from $168,600 in 2024 to $184,500 in 2026. For top earners, this means more taxable income, and for retirement planners, one more variable to consider. The Psychology and Practicality of Decumulation Flipping from saver to spender is often more difficult than expected. Many accumulate for decades, watching their nest egg grow, and then feel uneasy as withdrawals begin. Having a clear spend-down plan is crucial—not only for finances, but for confidence and peace of mind. Try a "bucket" strategy—dividing assets into income, cash reserve, and long-term growth buckets. By doing this, you'll be able to weather market swings and adjust spending appropriately in both up and down years. Importantly, plans should be flexible: during bull markets, withdrawals might increase modestly; in downturns, tightening the belt can protect long-term sustainability. The Measure of Retirement Success Retirement fulfillment isn't about dying with the largest possible nest egg, it's about achieving financial independence, enjoying freedom, and creating meaningful connections. Studies show that those who use their savings for experiences, relationships, and a sense of purpose report far greater happiness. This is about it in these terms, if you knew with certainty that your money would last, how would you spend differently starting tomorrow in retirement? Reflecting on this can help clarify goals and foster the confidence to pursue a fulfilling vision for retirement.

Imagine walking into the gym, and there are zero classes on the board—just a plan built for you and how you feel that day. That's the shift from hiding in the group to owning the work, and it changes how strength, progress, and “no excuses” really look.Episode SummaryOak Strength didn't tweak its schedule, it blew up the old model. After years of running group classes, Adam Lane and Coach Sam Libby saw too many members just surviving workouts instead of actually getting stronger, moving better, and feeling better. The answer wasn't another clever class format; it was programming built around the actual human standing in front of the coach.This episode walks through what “classless” looks like in real life: plans based on age, goals, schedule, injuries, and even how someone slept the night before. Adam and Sam talk about keeping the social vibe while ditching cookie-cutter workouts, calling out cherry-picking, and making on-the-fly changes so people leave feeling better—not more beat up.Key TakeawaysYou'll Learn:Why a busy 47-year-old and a strong 20-something like Luke shouldn't be running the same plan.How group classes can hide the fact that people aren't actually getting stronger or feeling better.Why letting members avoid certain movements in the app slows progress and keeps problems unsolved.How personalized plans are built around how many days per week someone really shows up.Ways coaches adjust training instantly when someone walks in with a sore back, poor sleep, or high stress.How Oak keeps the social, community feel even without everyone doing the same workout.Why multiplanar and rotational work matters more than just loading up a deadlift.How meeting people where they're at leads to better long-term results, not just harder workouts.Why “no excuses” doesn't mean “go harder”—it means there's always a smart way to train that day.How this shift helps both older adults and youth athletes move, feel, and perform better.Episode Chapters00:33 Oak turns 14 and goes completely classless01:15 Why broad group programming stopped making sense02:00 Cherry-picking workouts and avoiding movements02:34 Keeping the social side without traditional classes03:27 Building plans for 2-day vs 3-day per week members04:04 Training a 25-year-old vs a 65-year-old vs Luke05:09 Adjusting plans for pain, stress, and bad sleep07:31 Multiplanar work so strength carries into real life08:20 No excuses, better communication, closingResources MentionedOak Strength Website: https://oakstrength.comFacebook – Oak Strength: https://www.facebook.com/oakstrengthInstagram – @oakstrengthOrange Theory Fitness (mentioned as an example of a big group-class model closing locally)About the GuestCoach Sam Libby is the Director of Adult Training at Oak Strength.

What if sales isn't about convincing people—but making it easier for the right patients to say yes? In part two of Dr. Lauryn's July From the Vault series, sales expert Nikki Rausch explains how better conversations, clearer invitations, and confident follow-up can help practice owners work toward making an extra $50,000 by the end of 2026—without becoming pushy, scripted, or fake.Nikki breaks down her five-step Selling Staircase, from creating curiosity and building rapport to discovery, proposal, and closing the sale. She shares how to ask better questions, recognize buying signals, gain permission before presenting a solution, reduce decision fatigue with clear closing language, and use circle-back calls when someone needs more time. This episode is a practical guide to treating sales as communication, leadership, and service.Key TakeawaysSuccessful sales begin with rapport. Adjusting your communication style, listening carefully, and asking thoughtful questions can make prospective patients feel understood instead of pressured.Follow the five-step Selling Staircase. Introduction, curiosity, discovery, proposal, and close provide a clear framework for moving conversations forward without prematurely jumping to the offer.Make the buying decision easier. Ask permission before presenting a solution, use direct closing language such as “Which do you prefer?” and give the other person space to process and respond.Follow up without chasing people. Scheduling a specific circle-back call can dramatically improve conversions, while a prospect who refuses the follow-up can be respectfully “blessed and released.”About the GuestNikki Rausch is the CEO of Sales Maven, a sales training and coaching company that helps entrepreneurs and service-based business owners sell with confidence, kindness, and credibility.

Kasey Hagan grew up in England — and moving to America as a teenager with his father introduced him to a culture that was completely different from everything he had ever known. He got big into sports found his footing and decided he wanted to help people. He started as an animal control officer in his late teens responding to calls that most people never imagine exist. Then he discovered his first dead body on the job. Eventually Kasey became a Florida cop. For three years he responded to the worst calls dealt with the mental health weight that the job never properly prepares you for and witnessed the fundamental problems with policing that nobody in training ever talks about. The calls that haunted him. The culture that wore him down. The truth about law enforcement that only someone who lived it can tell. Then he quit. To build a content creation platform with his wife Christie — who was also a cop he met on the job — that generated hundreds of thousands of dollars. _____________________________________________ #florida #police #cops _____________________________________________ Connect with Kasey Hagan: https://www.instagram.com/kc_in_motion_/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 British Cop Who Left Law Enforcement for Content Creation — Full Story 03:50 Adjusting to Life in America and What That Culture Shock Really Looked Like 06:46 High School Differences Between England and America and the Sports World He Discovered 11:10 His First Steps Toward Law Enforcement and What Drew Him to the Job 15:15 Animal Control Stories That Will Shock You — Where Everything Really Started 19:00 Animal Cruelty Cases and the Dog Adoptions That Defined That Chapter 22:00 The Most Common Cruelty Cases and the Hoarding Situations Nobody Prepares You For 25:56 The Psychology Behind Animal Abusers and What the Research Really Shows 28:59 England Versus America on Animal Issues — the Differences That Shocked Him Most 31:02 Florida Wildlife and the Crazy Exotic Pets That Defined That World 34:30 His Transition From Animal Control to Police Work and What That Required 37:32 Applying to Become a Cop — the Process Most People Never Hear About 42:00 Police Academy Versus Real Life Policing — What Nobody Tells You Before You Start 45:16 His First Calls and What Training on the Job Really Looked Like 49:45 The Culture Shock of American Law Enforcement From a British Officer's Perspective 54:22 The Mental Health Toll of Policing and the Coping Mechanisms That Got Him Through 59:00 Changing Agencies and What the Team Dynamics Really Looked Like 01:04:03 The Rough Calls That Still Stay With Him and the Emotional Impact They Left 01:09:00 The Challenges Inside the Policing System That Nobody Talks About Publicly 01:13:10 Meeting Christy and What Relationship Life Really Looks Like Inside Law Enforcement 01:17:00 His Transition to Content Creation and What That Decision Really Required 01:21:30 Morality Purpose and the Life Changes That Followed Leaving Law Enforcement 01:25:00 His Injury His Back Surgery and What the Recovery Process Really Required 01:29:06 Life After Policing and What Finding Purpose Again Actually Looked Like 01:31:26 His Advice for Anyone Considering a Career in Law Enforcement 01:32:54 His Closing Thoughts and the Fun Revelations He Wants Everyone to Hear _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

After seven years in a Texas prison, Tim came home with prison politics, gang ties, and connections that would pull him straight into the meth game. In episode 4 of Tim's series, he breaks down how life behind bars shaped his mindset, how he adjusted after release, and how prison relationships eventually led to cartel-level meth connections. Tim talks about working on death row, surviving the Texas prison system, coming home on parole, and entering a dangerous world of meth trafficking, cartel plugs, stash houses, and small-town drug markets. He also explains how rural Texas became flooded with ice, why meth spread so quickly through small towns, and how one out-of-state connection changed everything. This is a raw look at prison life, cartel influence, the meth pipeline, and the consequences of chasing fast money after prison. Watch until the end for Tim's reflection on how quickly the money, pressure, and paranoia took over. Topics covered: -Meth trafficking in Texas -Cartel meth connections -Small-town drug epidemics -Life after prison -Parole and halfway houses -Cartel stash houses -The prison-to-streets pipeline Go Support Tim!

Kevin Christian spent 12 years saving lives as a paramedic and firefighter in Missouri — responding to crime scenes accidents and emergencies that most people never have to witness. When the money stopped being enough he made a decision that changed everything. He learned to cook meth. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Kevin tells the complete story — from his paramedic days and the devastating crime scenes that shaped him to building a meth cooking and trafficking operation that made him thousands a week. When the cops came the feds picked up the case and Kevin refused to rat on anyone. That loyalty cost him 35 years in federal prison. He shares what the federal prison system looked like from the inside through the 1990s all the way to his early release in 2020 — the prison hustle the food the commissary how the system changed over three decades the politics and what rising to shot caller of the Missouri car actually required. This is one of the most complete and honest federal prison stories we have ever told on this show. _____________________________________________ #walterwhite #prisonlife #truecrimecommunity #shotcaller _____________________________________________ Thank you to BLUEPRINT & MARS MEN for sponsoring this episode: Blueprint: For a limited time only, our listeners get 20% off + free shipping at https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/ by using code LOCKEDIN at checkout. #Blueprint #ad _____________________________________________ Mars Men: For a limited time, our listeners get 50% off FOR LIFE, Free Shipping, AND 3 Free Gifts at Mars Men at https://mengotomars.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Paramedic Who Cooked Meth and Got 35 Years in Federal Prison — Full Story 03:00 His Early Life and the Paramedic Career That Nobody Expected to End This Way 09:00 The Appeal and Reality of Making Meth and What Drew Him Into That World 14:30 Building a Full Meth Operation and the Lifestyle That Came With It 19:00 How Law Enforcement and the Feds Closed In and What That Process Really Looked Like 25:30 The Arrest the Sentencing and What Entering the Federal Prison System Really Felt Like 32:00 The Life and Politics Inside Federal Prison That Govern Absolutely Everything 38:30 The Hustles Contraband and Survival Tactics That Defined His Time Inside 46:00 Prison Food Commissary and How Prison Changed Dramatically Over the Years 54:30 The Violence Contraband and Shifting Norms That Defined Different Eras Inside 01:02:00 Reflecting on the Years Lost and What Reentry to Society Really Looked Like 01:10:00 Getting Out and Adjusting to a Modern World That Moved On Without Him 01:17:00 Rebuilding His Life Family and Identity After Decades Behind Bars 01:24:00 The Biggest Lessons He Carries and What He Wants Everyone to Take Away _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode we answer emails from Michael, Raphy, and Roman. We discuss using a short-term SPIA as a bridge before Social Security and why it probably doesn't matter one way or the other if you are even a little over-saved, and how much flexibility a well-funded risk parity portfolio can really provide. We also tackle covered calls, dividend and income fund hype, and why portfolio design starts with asset classes, taxes, and drawdown tolerance rather than chasing tickers. We also discuss the real differences between more and less aggressive risk parity style portfolio on an efficient frontier.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page (please mention Risk Parity Radio in the comment section with your donation): Donate - Father McKenna CenterBen Felix on Covered Calls (one of several videos): Covered Calls: What People (Still) Get WrongComparison of ADX with Common Index Funds: Asset Analyzer for ETFs, Stocks, and Funds | testfolioBen Felix on Dividend Investing: The Irrelevance of DividendsAfford Anything Episode #618: They Ran Out of Money.

Here's Why.Afford Anything Risk Parity Portfolio Blueprint: Afford Anything frank-vasquez-risk-parity-portfolio-BluePrint.pdf - Google DriveComparison of Golden Butterfly and Roman's Modification: Portfolio Backtester for ETFs and Asset Allocation | testfolioBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:A five-year annuity that throws off real cash flow can look almost too good to be true, especially when you're trying to retire before Social Security and Medicare. We dig into a listener's plan to leave IT at 55 with a $175,000 budget and a risk parity style portfolio, then pressure-test the idea of using a short-term period-certain SPIA as a “pension bridge” to reduce early sequence of returns stress. The big lens we keep coming back to is proportionality: if the annuity is under 10% of the portfolio, it behaves a lot like a cash pile, CD ladder, or bond ladder and may not meaningfully change the long-run plan, but it can change how you sleep at night.From there, we shift into options and “extra income” strategies. We break down why covered calls often cap upside and can reduce long-term total return, and we draw a bright line between that and riskier approaches like selling puts, where rare crashes can cause huge losses. If you're going to trade at all in retirement accounts, we argue for a simple discipline: don't obsess over what you might make, calculate what you could lose, then size it so it can't wreck your lifestyle.We also take on dividend-focused closed-end funds and the lure of shiny tickers. The message is blunt: the first word after income is taxes, and good retirement investing starts with asset classes, tax location, and drawdown tolerance, not fund-of-the-week marketing. We close with a listener's Golden Butterfly tweaks and what higher withdrawal rates really cost in drawdowns and ulcer index stress. Subscribe, share this with a friend planning early retirement, and leave a review with your biggest question about bridging the years before Social Security.Support the show

Matthew Bowyer is back. He just got out of federal prison camp — and in Part 2 of his conversation with Ian Bick he's holding nothing back. Matthew opens up about what his nearly 6 months inside actually looked like — the stories nobody expected the prison politics the gambling economy behind bars and how he was labeled a snitch inside. Then the conversation shifts to what comes next. He owes nearly $10 million to the IRS with interest accruing at $60,000 every single month. He's been placed on Nevada's Black Book — banned from every casino in the state. He breaks down his biggest gambling swing ever how casino comps actually work the truth about counting cards why automatic shuffling tables hurt your odds and how to get a better edge at the casino. This is the most raw and revealing conversation Matthew has ever had. _____________________________________________ #casino #truecrimecommunity #gambling _____________________________________________ Thank you to NOCD for sponsoring this episode: If you're struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.
