Visit performanceoptimist.com/attractionpros for an exclusive offer! Mark Rosenzweig is the Principal and Chief Business Officer of 3dxScenic. After getting his start in park operations and park services at Michigan's Adventure, Mark moved into sales and marketing roles at Zamperla and Ride Entertainment, including leading the SkyCoaster division. In 2020, he joined 3dxScenic in the Cincinnati area, and in December 2023 he became co-owner alongside longtime team member Matt Waldenmeyer. Today, 3dxScenic designs and fabricates themed environments, signage, facades, parade floats, and iconic photo-op pieces for parks and attractions. In this interview, Mark talks about integrity, transparency, and collaboration, stirring imagination, and being an operations nerd. Integrity, transparency, and collaboration “We have three pillars that we believe 150% in. Those are collaboration, integrity, and transparency.” Mark frames these as more than values on a wall. They shape how 3dxScenic sells, scopes, schedules, and delivers work. He explains that integrity and transparency mean being upfront about what's possible, what will be subcontracted, and what the realistic timeline and bandwidth look like, with a focus on avoiding surprises. Collaboration is the lever that makes the work better, whether it's aligning early on how a piece will live in the environment, or leaning on operators and mid-level leaders who will ultimately execute the day-to-day. He also emphasizes these pillars internally. From how ownership communicates with team members to how departments coordinate workflow, he sees consistency between culture and output as a requirement for sustainable growth and repeat partnerships. Stirring imagination “It's not always easy to sell abstract decor to someone that, say, is in finance.” Mark describes scenic work as an abstract product that often requires helping clients visualize ROI differently. A sculpture may not directly sell tickets, but it can become an iconic, repeatable photo moment that drives sharing, tradition, and brand memory. He points to examples like oversized entry pieces and themed elements that communicate what a park experience feels like before a guest ever rides anything. He also walks through how ideas become reality, using projects like Holiday World's Good Gravy as a case study in creative back-and-forth, story building, and delivering pieces that can even turn into merchandise. For Mark, the win is when theming supports the story, creates emotional connection, and provides both guest delight and practical marketing value. Being an operations nerd “I'm an operations nerd at heart.” Mark's early-career curiosity shows up in how he talks about labor, workflow, and execution. He credits his time in park services, ride ops, and other frontline roles with giving him empathy for how systems actually run, and why it matters to learn by doing. That mindset carries into fabrication, where one late step can cascade into multiple downstream delays. The “ops nerd” lens also shows up in the company's recent move into a new 30,000 square foot facility. Mark shares how they let departments help dictate the shop layout, aiming for smoother phase-to-phase movement, fewer bottlenecks, and better long-term scalability as they take on larger and more complex projects.

At 75, Arlene Borner may not be running marathons, but she is still running—and skiing on snow and water and playing pickleball. She may no longer be teaching children how to swim or speak English in places like Sweden or Bangladesh, but she is teaching future teachers at her local college how to help students find their voice through service learning.Arlene's purpose continues to be shaped by her love of adventure, movement, and staying open to where life might lead next. She rides her own Harley Davidson, touring the countryside alongside her husband of 55 years. Her commitments also include five grandchildren who, following in her example, “pursue their passions and don't quit.” As she reflects on growing older, Arlene says, “I don't love aging, but I work hard to have a positive mindset and guard against deficit thinking.”"Purpose changes yet it doesn't, influenced by life choices.

Send a textTwo country boys hit Atlanta for the Dallas Safari Club Expo and come home with a year's worth of stories, hard-won tips, and new friends from across the hunting world. We start with a chaotic travel day—dead battery on the plane, a tarmac standoff, and a near-miss at a crosswalk—then step into the Georgia World Congress Center and realize just how big DSC really is. With more than 1,300 booths and outfitters from over 43 countries, it's a living map of global hunting, conservation, and gear innovation.We meet TV icons Ralph and Vicki from Archer's Choice, shake hands with Mr. Whitetail himself, Larry Weishuhn, and connect with DSC leadership on why the show's funding model matters: grants for habitat, education, and anti-poaching. A South African outfitter lays out Botswana's elephant math—land that can carry around 75,000 elephants now holds more than 150,000—making a clear case for science-based management. On the North American front, an Alaskan captain opens our eyes to a sleeper DIY blacktail hunt in the panhandle with accessible tags and high densities.Seminars deliver real field value. Dan Adler's glassing masterclass shows how scanning right to left slows your brain and helps you catch the small, wrong-shaped details that give animals away. We get a primer on long-range thinking, then pivot to Craig Boddington's Cape buffalo insights—angles, bullets, and the look that says you “owe it money.” The floor itself is a wonder: jaw-dropping taxidermy, museum-quality replicas for restricted imports, premium optics, Kenetrek boots, Holland & Holland and Rigby, and a $238,000 double in .700 Nitro that we admired more than we dared handle. Add Ox Ranch's tanks and machine guns, plus the history and scale of King Ranch, and the spectrum from tradition to adrenaline comes into focus.The curveball? A late-night wander through a locked-down film set where Tulsa King shoots under cranes and fog. We watch the same scene run a dozen times, then a blacked-out van glides by with the cabin light on and Sylvester Stallone five feet away—scrolling, smoking, and still larger than life. We leave with future podcast guests booked, better glassing habits, and new perspective on how conservation, community, and adventure intersect.If you enjoyed this story-packed ride, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a quick rating or review—your support helps us bring more experts and epic hunts to your feed.Check us out on Facebook Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.

Michael Easter is a New York Times bestselling author, UNLV professor, and the mind behind “Walk With Weight.” This conversation explores rucking, the evolutionary movement pattern humans are built for that modern fitness has largely overlooked. We discuss why it affects body composition differently, how GPS navigation impacts cognition, and why optimization culture can undermine resilience. Plus, he challenges my assumptions about comfort zones. Michael's insights are practical, contrarian, and rooted in science and experience. Enjoy!

Looking for great fantasy & historical fiction for Middle Grades and YA readers that won't constantly clash with Christian beliefs and values?After several recent episodes focused on adult readers, many of you asked for something specifically for kids and teens — books that are imaginative, adventurous, beautifully written… and either explicitly Christian or comfortably aligned with a Christian worldview. So in this episode, I build a starter shelf for families, youth leaders, teachers, and young readers themselves.We cover:• Middle Grades (explicitly Christian SFF + Christian-friendly classics)• Young Adult (explicitly Christian + secular works with strong moral foundations)• Stories that emphasize courage, sacrifice, redemption, humility, loyalty, and hopeIf you're building a home library — or just looking for your next great read — this one's for you.
In this episode of The Ordinary Discipleship Podcast, we explore how the stories we carry shape the way we follow Jesus. Jessie Cruickshank and Julia unpack the role of autobiographical memory, false narratives, and the four core storylines of identity, community, maturity, and authority in our spiritual formation. We look at how the Holy Spirit exposes lies we've internalized and rewrites our story, not through self-determination or trying harder, but through repentance, truth, and transformation that reshapes even our brains.Pre-Order Jessie and Julia's book Becoming Good News: Reimagining Discipleship Through Identity, Story, and ScienceORDER Jessie's book, Ordinary Discipleship: How God Wires Us for the Adventure of TransformationFor more great stuff, check out: Ordinary Discipleship by Whoology: https://whoology.coFollow us on social media:https://instagram.com/ordinarydiscipleshiphttps://facebook.com/ordinarydiscipleshipFollow Jessie on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/yourbrainbyjessFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jessica.s.cruickshank/Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourbrainbyjess ORDER Jessie's newest book, Ordinary Discipleship: How God Wires Us for the Adventure of Transformation → https://a.co/d/51j86DGFor more great stuff, check out: Ordinary Discipleship by Whoology: https://whoology.coFollow us on social media:https://instagram.com/ordinarydiscipleshiphttps://facebook.com/ordinarydiscipleshipFollow Jessie on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/yourbrainbyjessFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jessica.s.cruickshank/Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourbrainbyjessJessie Cruickshank is a disciple-maker, wilderness guide, and ordained minister.

This week we talk about Moonrise, and it immediately turned into a heated debate. We start by tearing into the show for its confusing plot, and nonsensical world-building. And Rick tore into the terrible dubbed voice acting. We both clash heavily over the anime's mechanics, with Rick frustrated by the logic of weapon cards transforming into grenades out of thin air, and Jack reluctantly playing defense, arguing that the show's technology makes sense if you actually pay attention to it. We agree the series feels more like a video game adaptation complete with double-jumps and zero-G combat, but that is where the agreement ends. Rick slams Moonrise as a boring, poorly executed Gundam wannabe. Jack, on the other hand, finds himself defending the show out of sheer spite.About the anime:Set in the far future, Moonrise takes place in a world where humanity has established a loosely organized world government with all major decisions delegated to a single AI network known as Sapientia. And while Earth enjoys its peace and prosperity, the Moon has become a dumping ground for criminals and pollutants, a deliberate policy that has driven the lunar colonies into poverty and resentment. When the Moon's rebel faction, Moon Chains, launches a devastating terrorist attack destroying Earth's orbital elevators, the lives of countless people are changed forever. Jacob "Jack" Shadow, a privileged adopted son of the family behind the elevator project, loses everything in the attack and finds himself framed as a suspected terrorist who helped take down the elevator. Driven by grief and his thirst for revenge, Jack "enlists" in Earth's special military unit VC3 and is deployed to the Moon to hunt down those responsible. But as he gets deeper into the conflict, the clear-cut lines between enemy and ally begin to blur especially when he discovers that his long-lost childhood friend Phil is a key figure within the very resistance he was sent to destroy.Next Week's Pick: "Reign of the Seven Spellblades"Have you had the chance to watch Moonrise or any of our previous selections?

A brilliant physician risks his own life to force open the border between body and soul, determined to correct what he believes nature has failed to complete. When the experiment ends and only one flame returns, his assistant must decide whether to protect a dangerous legacy—or let it rise again in a new form. The Ultimate Problem by Victor Rousseau. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Victor Rousseau joins us on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast for the first time today.Born in Belgium in 1879, Rousseau was educated in Europe before emigrating to the United States as a young man. He eventually settled in New York, where he moved from journalism and translation work into fiction. Like many early pulp writers, he didn't begin in science fiction alone. He wrote adventure stories, historical fiction, and romances, building a reputation for fast-paced storytelling long before the science fiction boom fully took shape.Rousseau became a regular presence in magazines, Adventure, Argosy, and later Weird Tales. Over the course of his career, Rousseau wrote dozens of novels and a large body of short fiction across multiple genres. In science fiction alone, he produced almost 100 short stories and several novels, most of them in the 1920s and 30s.The Ultimate Problem appeared in U.S. newspapers in 1911. We found it in the Stevens Point Journal of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, on Friday, March 3, 1911, published under Victor Rousseau's H. M. Egbert byline.Sixteen years later it was published in the July 1927 issue of Weird Tales Magazine on page 77, The Ultimate Problem by Victor Rousseau…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He wanted to look beyond time and prove that history was still alive, waiting in hidden dimensions. What answered him from those angles was patient, hungry, and already on his scent.

From Robert Duvall's legacy and impact on Westerns to Adventures with me, Rebecca Wanner aka BEC to then insight on why March is the best month to visit Yellowstone National Park. Stories of the West, travel, and adventure are on the schedule! Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Honoring the Godfather of Westerns, Exploring Life on the Trail with Rebecca Wanner, and Discovering the Best Time to Visit Yellowstone National Park Robert Duvall (1931–2026): The Godfather of Westerns Robert Duvall, 1931 - 2026, passed at age 95 on his horse farm in Virginia. Leaving a legacy on the silver screen from To Kill A Mocking Bird, The Godfather, to winning an Oscar for Tender Mercies… He had a love for westerns and horsemanship. Early in his career, Duvall noticed that actors in movies didn't have the right “seat” when riding horses and hence stunt doubles were relied upon. On his own accord, Duvall took up horseback riding and learning from those that taught stunt doubles, proper horsemanship which led to him owning a farm, raising horses and performing his own stunts for the movies. Thanks to movies such as a cameo in the original “True Grit” to the epic mini-series “Lonesome Dove” and “Open Range”... Some have dubbed Robert Duvall as the Godfather of Westerns. How well do you know our, by far, favorite movie - Lonesome Dove where Duvall played Captain Augustus “Gus” McCrae, a Texas Ranger turned cattle rancher, a role that would earn him a Golden Globe How old was Robert Duvall during the production of Lonesome Dove? 58 years old Duvall starred alongside which actor in the epic Western Lonesome Dove? Tommy Lee Jones Tommy Lee Jones, another actor who was an experienced horseman that refused to use a stunt double in the movie. Favorite "Lonesome Dove" quotes by Augustus 'Gus' McCrae, Robert Duvall “It ain't dying I'm talking about, it's living.” “We don't rent pigs” "Any man who does rent pigs is....... he's hard to stop." "By God, Woodrow, it's been quite a party." “Ain't nothing better than riding a fine horse in new country.” Another favorite movie that introduced Robert Duvall to a whole new generation was “Secondhand Lion”. Highly recommended family film… and a quote that stands out from these old bachelor uncles was Duvall, “We're old, Damnit. Leave us alone.” Adventures of Rebecca Wanner aka BEC Our host, Rebecca 'BEC' Wanner, of The Bend Show shares adventures on her bucket list and stories of past adventures. We learn that she has a fear of heights, so flying an ultra-light plane will not be happening. Rebecca Wanner aka BEC has done snorkeling and hopes to gain her scuba license some day. Adventure wise she shares her own version of Planes, Train, & Automobiles when attempting to fly home from a summer abroad only to be left backpacking, hopping trains, outrunning security guards to finally find her way home at the age of 20 before smartphones thus no cellphones either. Fun Stories! YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK: Why is March the best month to visit? Spring is when bison calves are born, and bears with cubs start to emerge from hibernation. The vegetation in March is still thin, so elk and moose are easier to spot. March is also one of the best months to see wolves in Lamar Valley. Plus no crowds, due to chances for snow and colder temperatures. Open year-round: North Entrance (Gardiner, MT) to Northeast Entrance (Cooke City, MT) A quick google search will show that there are multiple tours throughout the off-season in Yellowstone. Because interior park roads are closed to private vehicles, popular guided options include snow coach tours, snowmobile tours, and educational wildlife safaris. Same goes for visiting the Grand Tetons. Sit back, do a tour and take in the scenery! OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

had a cold, sharp bite, but that didn't bother Thijs.Nl: Hij hield van de kust, vooral in de winter, wanneer de drukte van de zomer verdwenen was.En: He loved the coast, especially in the winter, when the summer crowds had disappeared.Nl: Vandaag was de zee kalm, met golven die zachtjes op het strand rolden.En: Today, the sea was calm, with waves gently rolling onto the shore.Nl: Naast hem liep Femke, zijn avontuurlijke nicht, die van een kort bezoek aan de stad genoot.En: Beside him walked Femke, his adventurous cousin, who was enjoying a short visit to the city.Nl: Thijs had zich verheugd op een rustige dag.En: Thijs had been looking forward to a quiet day.Nl: Een dag waarin hij in stilte kon nadenken, de golven kon zien en de frisse lucht kon inademen.En: A day where he could think silently, watch the waves, and breathe in the fresh air.Nl: Femke was echter een en al energie.En: However, Femke was all energy.Nl: “Kom op, Thijs!En: “Come on, Thijs!Nl: Laten we schelpen zoeken!” riep ze, rennend naar de branding.En: Let's look for shells!” she called, running towards the surf.Nl: Thijs glimlachte en besloot mee te doen, om de pret niet te bederven.En: Thijs smiled and decided to join in, not wanting to spoil the fun.Nl: Terwijl ze langs de kustlijn liepen, voelde Thijs iets veranderen.En: As they walked along the coastline, Thijs felt something change.Nl: Zijn ademhaling werd zwaarder.En: His breathing became heavier.Nl: Hij stopte even, probeerde diep in te ademen.En: He stopped for a moment, trying to take a deep breath.Nl: Maar de koude lucht prikkelde zijn longen, en hij voelde een benauwdheid opkomen.En: But the cold air irritated his lungs, and he felt a tightness coming on.Nl: Hij tastte naar zijn inhaler, maar zijn zakken waren leeg.En: He reached for his inhaler, but his pockets were empty.Nl: Paniek sloeg toe.En: Panic set in.Nl: Femke merkte zijn worsteling op.En: Femke noticed his struggle.Nl: “Thijs, gaat het?” vroeg ze bezorgd, terwijl ze terug naar hem snelde.En: “Thijs, are you okay?” she asked worriedly, hurrying back to him.Nl: Thijs schudde zijn hoofd, niet in staat te spreken.En: Thijs shook his head, unable to speak.Nl: Hij wees naar zijn borst, probeerde adem te halen.En: He pointed to his chest, trying to breathe.Nl: Femke aarzelde niet.En: Femke didn't hesitate.Nl: “Blijf kalm,” zei ze, haar avontuurzin maakte plaats voor vastberadenheid.En: “Stay calm,” she said, her sense of adventure replaced by determination.Nl: “Ik ga hulp halen.” Ze speurde het strand af en zag een klein gebouwtje verderop.En: “I'll get help.” She scanned the beach and saw a small building further up.Nl: Het was het strandwachtershuisje, maar de deur was gesloten en er was niemand binnen.En: It was the lifeguard station, but the door was closed, and there was no one inside.Nl: “Verdorie, het is winter!En: “Darn, it's winter!Nl: Natuurlijk is het onbemand!” Femke mompelde terwijl ze haar telefoon tevoorschijn haalde.En: Of course, it's unmanned!” Femke muttered as she pulled out her phone.Nl: Gelukkig had ze een goede ontvangst.En: Fortunately, she had good reception.Nl: Ze belde direct 112 en legde de situatie uit, met haar ogen steeds op Thijs gericht, die worstelde om te ademen.En: She called 112 directly and explained the situation, keeping her eyes on Thijs, who was struggling to breathe.Nl: Binnen korte tijd arriveerde de hulp.En: Help arrived shortly.Nl: Ze gaven Thijs zuurstof en een inhalator.En: They gave Thijs oxygen and an inhaler.Nl: Langzaam voelde hij de druk op zijn borst afnemen.En: Slowly, he felt the pressure on his chest easing.Nl: Bij elke ademhaling voelde hij zich lichter.En: With each breath, he felt lighter.Nl: De medische hulpverleners waren professioneel en geruststellend.En: The medical responders were professional and reassuring.Nl: “Je bent gelukkig dat je een slimme nicht hebt,” grapte een van de ambulancier, terwijl Thijs opgelucht glimlachte naar Femke.En: “You're lucky to have a smart cousin,” joked one of the paramedics, as Thijs smiled gratefully at Femke.Nl: Ze knipoogde terug, zichtbaar opgelucht dat haar plan werkte.En: She winked back, visibly relieved that her plan worked.Nl: De rest van de dag bracht Thijs door in rust, nadenkend over wat er was gebeurd.En: The rest of the day, Thijs spent in peace, reflecting on what had happened.Nl: De gebeurtenis leerde hem dat hij beter voorbereid moest zijn.En: The incident taught him that he needed to be better prepared.Nl: Vanaf nu zou hij niet vergeten zijn inhaler mee te nemen, en hij begreep dat hulp vragen ook een teken van moed was.En: From now on, he wouldn't forget to bring his inhaler, and he understood that asking for help was also a sign of courage.Nl: Femke, die naast hem zat, keek naar de zee.En: Femke, sitting next to him, looked at the sea.Nl: “Mooi hier, hè?” zei ze, haar gebruikelijke energie weer terug.En: “Beautiful here, isn't it?” she said, her usual energy back.Nl: Thijs knikte.En:

Send a textThis week we have a great conversation with Miles Spencer, and discuss his restless desire to experience as much of the world as possible, to learn from other cultures and to really test his boundaries for adventure!Over his winding path, he has found himself tested by both boardroom chaos and adventures that had no margin for error. He helped co-create MoneyHunt, which aired on PBS as a predecessor to Shark Tank, and while those studio lights were bright, they were nothing compared to leading more than 1,500 people in kayaks over 14 miles of open sea or walking 1,100 miles across desert in Saudi, Jordan and Syria. Each time, he was forced to confront what failure meant, and figure out how to rebuild after. Miles has founded (and exited) three media companies, with a fourth underway, but it's the recovery from missed shots that taught him the most about grit and moving forward.Miles comes on the show, to help us continue to build community, around vulnerability and hope. Thank you Miles!https://milesspencer.com/Support the show
In this episode of the Safe Travels Podcast, I sit down with Jennifer Cavin, Fossil Preparator and Lab Manager at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, to explore one of the most overlooked roles in paleontology: fossil preparation.When most people think about paleontology, they picture scientists excavating fossils in the field. But behind every museum-quality fossil specimen is a highly skilled fossil preparator, the meticulous expert who stabilizes, cleans, preserves, and reconstructs fossils for scientific research and public display.In This Episode, We Cover:What a Fossil Preparator actually does in a paleontology labThe difference between field excavation and laboratory fossil preparationMechanical prep vs. chemical prep techniquesHow air scribes, micro sandblasters, and adhesives are used to reveal fossilsThe delicate process of removing matrix without damaging boneThe relationship between fossil preparators and paleontologistsWhy preparators are critical to peer-reviewed scientific researchThe physical health risks of fossil prep, including silica dust exposure and repetitive strain injuriesConservation ethics and preserving fossils for future generationsJennifer explains why fossil preparators are the unsung heroes of paleontology. Without their precision and technical expertise, many fossil discoveries, including ancient mammals like early horses, camels, and saber-toothed predators from the John Day Basin, would never be studied, published, or displayed.______________Follow us on social!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/safetravelspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@safetravelspodYouTube: youtube.com/@safetravelspodSafetravelspod.com

Today's episode is all about raising boys, even if you're a girl mom like me. I sat down with Rebekah Lovell, author of Boyhood Resurrected, for a powerful and honest conversation about how modern systems are failing our boys, and what we can do about it. We talk about how boys are hardwired for adventure, movement, risk, curiosity, and strength, and how over-scheduling, over-screening, and over-labeling can slowly extinguish the light in their eyes. Rebekah shares her family's journey navigating early schooling challenges, why institutional systems often misunderstand boys, and how moms (especially!) play a crucial role in protecting and cultivating their sons' masculine design. This conversation will step on a few toes — gently. We talk about: The difference between discipline and suppression Why movement and autonomy matter Screen culture and its impact on boys The myth of being "behind" Adventure as a developmental need Respect as a love language for boys Raising driven, courageous men in a culture hostile to masculinity Even as a girl mom, I found so many parallels. Childhood matters. Wonder matters. Agency matters. And truthfully, this conversation ultimately points back to Jesus and how God intentionally wired our sons. If you're raising boys (or love someone who is), this episode will challenge, encourage, and equip you. Sponsor: Nutrafol Real growth doesn't come from quick fixes — it comes from consistent care.
