In addition to practical tips on incorporating physical activity and emotional health in an office setting, he offers wise perspectives on the future of Family Medicine, encouraging patience,  persistence, and optimism. You will quickly understand why his grandfather, a revered Family Physician who practiced in Tennessee, would be so proud of his grandson today.

In this episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," host Matt Payne sits down with Patrick Krohn, winner of the Natural Landscape Photography Awards' "In Your Backyard" special award. Patrick Krohn shares his journey from photojournalism and sales into a deeply rooted local photography practice centered around his hometown of Aiken, South Carolina. The conversation dives into the value of photographing locally—both for developing creative consistency and for lowering the stakes so you can experiment, learn from mistakes, and hone your skills daily. Patrick Krohn discusses the parallels between sales tenacity and artistic growth, emphasizes the importance of community connections, and makes a compelling case for finding your own audience rather than chasing external trends. Sprinkled with practical advice and thoughtful anecdotes, this episode is packed with actionable insights for photographers looking to find meaning and improvement without traveling far from home or bending to outside pressures.

Young Bernie Sanders arrived in Vermont in 1964 as part of a counter-cultural wave. The tall Jewish kid with the thick Brooklyn accent who spoke of socialism and revolution fit right in with the communards and hippies, though he was neither. Sanders was then, as now, his own man, raging against the establishment while simultaneously seeking to lead it, albeit in a very different direction.As author Dan Chaisson writes, the story of Bernie Sanders is also the story of Vermont. “To see how Vermont changed, simply look at how Bernie's message, reiterated for fifty years, migrated from the fringe to the heart of Vermont's political discourse.”In the early days, Burlingtonians knew Bernie “as a perennial political loser” who typically garnered a slim percentage of the electorate in in the 1970s, recounted Chiasson. “But also he was just an indefatigable kind of force.”Dan Chaisson is a Burlington native and the author of five books of poetry. He is a professor of English and chair of the English department at Wellesley College. A longtime contributor to The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books, his new book is Bernie for Burlington: The Rise of the People's Politician. Chiasson weaves together his own story of growing up in hardscrabble Burlington in the 1970s with Sanders' own, whom he observed throughout his life go from gadfly to mayor, to the most influential progressive political figure in the country.Chaisson traces Sanders' politics to his experience growing up poor in Brooklyn “in an economy that was designed to kill" him and his family. "His mother died in her 40s of a congenital heart condition.”Sanders attended the University of Chicago where he participated in civil rights protests. “He thought that things like racial and other kinds of traumas in our country stemmed directly from economics,” said Chiasson. “Moving to Vermont was a way of thinking, could we start society over?”What explains Bernie's appeal to conservatives in areas like the Northeast Kingdom? Chaisson said that Sanders admired and channeled George Aiken, the Republican Vermont governor and senator who famously opposed the Vietnam War, declaring that the U.S. should “say we won and get out.” Aiken “had a sort of similar kind of flintiness to him, a similar kind of orneriness or cantankerousness,” Chaisson said.Sanders, a lifelong independent, has long reserved some of his harshest criticism for Democrats. “He feels that the Democrats are the party of the educated elite and he feels much more comfortable among working people.” When he disagrees with someone, Sanders “has a talent for steering the conversation away from those differences and towards places of common interest and common ground.”Asked what he thought the legacy of Sanders would be, Chaisson said, “Just the tenacity, the temerity, the moral vision that Sanders laid out.” He quoted former Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle, who described Sanders as “a moral visionary.”“Somebody with Bernie's fight in him and with his sense that there are right and wrong sides of the question morally when we engage with politics, that makes me feel pretty hopeful.”

After years of research searching for the perfect retirement community, Judy found Woodside. She visited the Villages, Del Webb, and so many others that she found didn't fit what she was looking for - other active retirees of similar age. Now she's IN LOVE with retirement and shared her entire story with me on my show, Retirement Reality. This NOT a paid advertisement. If you wish to reach out for a Discovery tour of Woodside, you can email David directly at dseawell@woodsidecommunities.com and if you let him know you found him through my channel, he'll make sure to treat you well!I'm flying from Los Angeles to Aiken, South Carolina to visit the Woodside community next month myself to do a full review of the community (similar to a restaurant review, but for retirement communities)!Is there a retirement community you're excited to go to? If so, let me know in the comments and I'll add them to my list of communities to review!For Judy, early retirement comes down to one word: choices. At 57, two years into life after work, she wakes up with the freedom to choose slow mornings, long walks, golf leagues, pickleball lessons, and spontaneous trips.Her plan was always early retirement at 55, and she never lost sight of it... even when fear, routine, and the temptation of “one more year” crept in.She shares how she built her “superhero account,” prepared for healthcare, learned to balance enjoying today with planning for tomorrow, and embraced the courage to leave a career she liked for a life she loves.Want to be a guest on THIS show and help others by sharing your story?

I loved sitting down with Camron Adibi for this full conversation. His way of understanding horses reminds us to slow down, listen with our whole selves and meet them with curiosity and care. Camron is an equine behavior educator, sound practitioner and host of the Centar podcast. His blend of tuning forks, vibration work and horse centered teaching brings a thoughtful and heartfelt approach to partnership.Camron shared how horses take in sound, energy and vibration differently than we do, and how their sensitivity can help us become more aware of our own inner state. Hearing him describe how sound supports calm and regulation for both species was a beautiful reminder of the wisdom horses carry when we let them guide the pace.He also talked about his path from therapeutic riding to teaching to creating a life woven with horses, sound and storytelling. His move to Aiken began with one conversation and one instinct, showing how new chapters can appear when we follow what feels aligned.TakeawaysHorses sense emotion and energy before words are spoken.Tuning forks and sound work support grounding for horses and humans.Partnership grows when we listen first and offer space for preference.Meaningful change often begins with one small, honest step.Get to know Camron's work and journeyThe Centaur Podcast on Apple and SpotifySubstack: The Centaur by Camron AdibiWebsite: https://www.camronadibi.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CamronAdibiFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/camronadibiSend us a text Support the show✨ Join My TEDx Spokane Journey!

Connection often begins in the smallest moments, and this preview with Camron Adibi offers a gentle doorway into the sensory world of horses and the kind of curiosity that can shift how we move through our own lives. Camron is the host of the Centar podcast and a devoted advocate for equine behavior, tuning forks and vibration work, and the intuitive communication that happens between humans and horses.In this short snapshot, he shares how horses hear far beyond our range, why certain sounds soothe them, and why their preferences can change as their inner state changes. Camron also opens up about how podcasting redirected his path, brought him to new mentors and new places, and helped him step into a more aligned version of his work. His journey is a reminder that small choices often open big doors.The full interview arrives Friday and will explore frequency work, interspecies communication, and the next chapter of Camron's move to Aiken.Try This in Your Own LifeNotice one place in your life where deeper listening could change the way you show up.Get curious about what brings ease to you or your animals and allow that curiosity to guide your next step.Know more about Camron and His worksThe Centaur Podcast on Apple and SpotifySubstack: The Centaur by Camron AdibiWebsite: https://www.camronadibi.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CamronAdibiFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/camronadibiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/centaur_podcastSend us a text Support the show✨ Join My TEDx Spokane Journey!

"Measure Of A Man" The North Carolina-born Clay Aiken rose to fame on the strength of his record breaking appearance on American Idol, but if you just think of him in terms of that show, you're not getting the full picture. At all. With seven albums under his belt, the golden-voiced Aiken has sold close to ten million albums worldwide, was the first artist whose first single hit #1, hosted two network television specials, toured with Kelly Clarkson, appeared on Broadway in Spamalot and for a Christmas show with Ruben Studdard, wrote a memoir, sang the National Anthem at the World Series, and appeared on Scrubs, SNL, Jimmy Kimmel, All My Children and Days Of Our Lives. Keep in mind this is a partial list. Outside of music, Aiken co-founded the National Inclusion Project which helps advocate for children with disabilities, he's a UNICEF ambassador and in 2014 he ran for congress. Partial list aside, I know as I was reading that all of you and me, by the way, were like, I haven't done enough with my life. Aiken is also a father and he decided to step away from music to raise his son without distraction. And so he did, but with college on the horizon for his son, Aiken has decided to re-enter the ring and this conversation is all about his return. And a bunch of other things, too. Talking to him felt familiar--like catching up with an old friend. You're going to love him. www.clayaiken.com www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com Stereo Embers The Podcast IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Multi-platinum recording artist Clay Aiken is back with a stunning new version of the Bing Crosby classic "Do You Hear What I Hear?," the first single from his highly anticipated Christmas album Christmas Bells are Ringing, set to be released on November 22nd. Aiken's unique interpretation infuses the classic carol with his signature vocal warmth and emotional depth making it a song for our times. Written in 1962 by Noël Regney and Gloria Shayne as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is timeless in its message, yet even more resonant today. Aiken reflects, "The whole American political climate over the past few years hasn't really given us much in the way of hope or optimism. As much as I wanted to believe I might be able to make some positive change in that world, I've realized that music often does a better job of that." Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Ron Fair, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is the first release from Aiken's first studio album in over a decade, following a hiatus from music which found Aiken running for Congressional office in North Carolina, and raising his now teenage son. The album, Christmas Bells are Ringing, marks a return to the holiday music that solidified Aiken's place as a household name in 2004, when his debut holiday album Merry Christmas With Love broke records, selling nearly 300,000 copies in its first week. That album went platinum, becoming the best-selling holiday album of 2004 and earning Aiken three Billboard Music Awards.The new record boasts fresh takes on holiday staples like Nat King Cole's "Caroling, Caroling" and Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime", as well as a lush reinvention of "Merry Christmas, Darling" by the Carpenters (one of Clay's musical inspirations) and a show-stopping rendition of "Pure Imagination" which reimagines the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory classic as a fitting soundtrack for the holiday season. Clay Aiken's rise to stardom began in 2003 as the runner-up on season two of American Idol. His debut single, "This Is the Night" debuted at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100, while his debut album Measure of a Man was certified triple platinum. Aiken has since sold millions of albums, launched national tours, starred on Broadway, and made his mark as a philanthropist and politician.Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Merry Christmas With Love, Clay Aiken's new album, Christmas Bells are Ringing' promises to bring the same joy and spirit to listeners, making it the perfect soundtrack for the 2024 holiday season.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Nicole Brown is joined by Annie's father, Putter Goodwin, and this year's grant recipient, Elle Choate, to talk about what the grant was built to do and why it matters. Ellie shares where she's at right now, coming back from a serious injury, getting horses back into work, and trying to build something sustainable in a sport that isn't easy to break into. Putter reflects on Annie's connection to Aiken, the kind of people the grant is meant to support, and how the idea has grown into something that's already making a difference. Highlights Why the Annie Goodwin Rising Star Grant was created and what it's meant to support Annie's connection to Aiken and the community that shaped her career Elle on recovering from injury and getting back in the saddle The realities of turning riding into a sustainable profession Guests Putter Goodwin - Annie Goodwin's father and a driving force behind the Annie Goodwin Rising Star Grant, created to honour Annie's legacy and support developing professionals across disciplines.

Jeff Warne has quietly led one of golf's most interesting lives, from growing up in Augusta to building a stellar reputation as a top-100 instructor to becoming director of golf at The Bridge. He's spent decades learning how clubs create the best experiences, and now he's putting it into practice with one of his own with New Holland Golf Club, a new project rising amidst the Aiken golf boom. Warne joins Tom Coyne to lay out his vision for New Holland's identity: a “firm but slow” heathland design, a UK-inspired access model, no cabins in sight, and a damn good hot dog bar.
