Come and listen while Host Candace Gish interviews a variety of extraordinary women, whom are working to make the world a better place! #DivasThatCare With an impressive background in high-end construction and renovation, top-producing Real Estate Agent Cari Higgins brings an innovative, data-driven approach to Boulder real estate success. Cari learned the business of real estate from the inside-out as she served alongside her general contractor husband, Greg, in his real estate investment company. In that role, she's integral to researching, acquiring, and selling homes throughout Boulder and the surrounding area, and Cari quickly discovered an innate talent for spotting value and leveraging opportunity. Earning her real estate license was a natural next step, and today, she works with buyers, sellers, and investors, providing skilled guidance in the unique Boulder market. Cari graduated from the University of Alabama — Roll Tide! — where she played Division I soccer. A city of Boulder resident for over 20 years, she and her husband moved to rural Boulder County in 2018. Cari is an avid supporter of several nonprofits, including the Brake the Cycle charity bike ride she started and Strong Women Strong World, which helps girls and women rise out of poverty. She sits on the boards of Wednesday Morning Velo and Boulder Valley Care Network, and she's a coach for the Olympic Development Cycling team through USA Cycling. When she's not supporting clients or the local community, Cari can be found on the bike, hiking local trails, skiing, and spending time with her husband and their two Rottweilers. https://higginskalushcollective.com/

Ryan Grubb had a presser where he spoke about being the new offensive coordinator for the Alabama Roll Tide. The chance he leaves for the NFL is still a possibility as the Seahawks are still looking for an offensive coordinator. Puck sees it as a farce and Jim is making the case that he wouldn't lie like that, but we shall see how this all plays out. Also, Tom Pelissero, NFL Network insider shares the news that the Seahawks plan to hire Aden Durde as their defensive coordinator. We play audio messages as multiple people give their best impersonation of Aden.
Rap vet and esteemed actor Mos Def found himself in the eye of the storm of the Nigganet last week for his appearance on some random podcast that ended in him talking about Drake... DRAAAAAAKE? Not Talib Kweli, not Blackstar reunion, not Jay Electronica or anyone of his cadre, but DRAKE. Why is that might you ask? Because nothing gets the people going quite like some Aubrey Slander. AND SLANDER HE DID. The Cliff Notes include shopping, Target, Pop Music and when it all falls down and the columns start to buckle. Lock in while we examine what Mighty Mos said and see if we found him guilty of hateration or did he have a valid point. Feel free to state your opinions in the comments.

Mic Potter, has been the Head Women's Golf Coach of the Alabama Roll Tide since 2005, and previous to that led the Furman Lady Paladins from 1982-2005. Throughout his career, Potter has developed a reputation for being an excellent teacher of the game as well as a builder of elite college programs. His student-athletes consistently have performed at a high level both in the classroom and on the course, with several carrying that level of excellence on into the professional ranks. Mic has been named Southern Conference Coach of the Year eight times and led his Furman teams to 36 tournament titles including 10 Conference Championships, while his Tide teams have captured 24 tournament wins, which puts him among the leaders for all active women's golf coaches with 60 total victories. By any standard, Potter has proven to be one of the best women's golf coaches in the nation for more than three decades. He has built successful programs and maintained that standard by recruiting and cultivating talented players who advance to the professional ranks and obtain their degrees. Under Mic's coaching, 15 of his college players have gone on to play professionally earning a combined total of over $10 million in career earnings. Mic's most notable player includes 17x LPGA winner and tv sports analyst, Dottie Pepper. Potter has coached 36 NGCA All-Americans, 36 NGCA All-Scholar Team selections, 62 all-conference selections, six players to 15 first team All-SEC awards, 14 conference players of the year and seven conference freshmen of the year. Potter already had established a Hall-of-Fame legacy before he arrived in Tuscaloosa - thanks to his impressive work building Furman into a national power - but his work over the past decade at Alabama has been historic, culminating with the school's first national championship in 2012. Three seasons later, Potter helped guide Emma Talley to the individual NCAA Championship to cap off the 2014-15 season, becoming the first NCAA medalist in the program's history.

When the worldwide pandemic-induced shutdown began in 2020 it was quickly described as the “biggest psychological experiment in history.” And regardless of the specific toll Covid-19 and the shutdowns may have had on you or your loved ones - from virus death to lingering illness to economic ruin to mental health struggles to rising SUD and overdoes deaths - everyone has experienced trauma at some level. But the pandemic and the shutdowns also seemed to have helped bring about or expose some dynamics in our culture, politics and relationships. As we enter Black History Month in 2022 we hope you'll listen in on a timely interview with sociologist/demographer Dr. Nyesha Black. Dr. Black shares a personal snapshot of her early life in rural Alabama, dealing with family mental health issues, her burgeoning passion for asking questions that would lead to solutions, academic life at the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) and on to her doctoral research at Penn State University. We also get to benefit from Dr. Black's candid sharing about her own struggle with mental health challenges brought on by pandemic isolation and the weight of the dark political and cultural struggles leading up to January 6th, 2021. We share in her excitement at the purchase of a beautiful, historic home in ‘old Birmingham', but then are sobered by how the history of that same property simply but dramatically exposes the evil of embedded, legal racism. BONUS! Podcast Producer (and co-host of his own podcast, Tha Tipping Point) Ronnie Gatrey engages with Dr. Black in a masterful and meandering conversation on the history, sociology and appreciation of Hip Hop as an extrinsically American music genre.

The recent weeks have been hard on my mom’s side of the family because my grandmother, the incomparable and amazing Sue, which is somehow short for Geneva (I’ll explain that in a different story because Sue needs a piece dedicated only to her), had been suffering. She fell and broke her hip a couple of years ago and was taken to a nursing home for recovery, which, because she was the ripe old age of 93, never happened. We knew it wouldn’t. The lady was already weak, so we knew she would never walk again. And after fighting to bring her home and the saint-like diligence of her three daughters and my sister, accompanied by an angelic team of home-health care workers, at the end of February, 2021, my Mema - Ah-Mama to the great grandkids, went home to be with the Lord. I have a lot more to say about how her passing will affect our family and some of the stories she told of her childhood are classic, but that’s for later. Right now, I want to dive into some culture and theology that seems to flare up like the burners on Mema’s ancient gas stove whenever someone dies. I’m talking about the concept of Heaven, and more specifically, what we’ll be doing up there. I’m Michael Blackston and this is an otherworldly dive into my Funny Messy Life. __________________________ You might be saying, I didn’t come here to be preached at! And I’m here to tell you not to worry. I don’t do that here ... much (listen to the story called, The Trendy Curmudgeon for a slight departure from that rule). There may be a Christian themed podcast sooner or later where I bring hell-fire and brimstone, but here at Funny Messy Life, I like to keep it light. That’s why I beg of you … if you have trouble telling the difference between seriousness and satire, listen (or read) carefully ... I’M JUST HAVING A LITTLE FUN! Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I can begin my commentary. I’ve been to my share of viewings and funerals and graveside services over the course of my lifetime. I know my duties as a Pallbearer and I understand what to say and what not to say to the family of the deceased. For example, NEVER ... and I mean NEVER, no matter how similar an experience you’ve had ... NEVER EVER tell a member of the grieving party that you understand what they’re going through. Because you don’t. You might think you do, but ya don’t. What you do say to them, depending on the region, is how sorry you are for their loss, and that if they need anything at all, it would be an honor to help. There are some alternate words you might consider, again, depending on the region. If you’re in: Georgia - I’m so sorry for your loss. She made the best sweet tea. South Carolina - I’ll be praying for your family. Your daddy could swat mosquitos better than anybody I knew. Florida - Bless your heart. Will your grandma be buried here or back home in New York? Alabama - ROLL TIDE! Of course, I’m from the south, so that’s all I can offer, but if you call your local funeral home and request a list of regional condolence alternatives, I’m sure they’ll be happy to send that right out to you. Unless you’re in California. They’ll probably just label you “insensitive”, call for a boycott on everything “You”, and tear down a random statue to make a point. Anyway, I’ve made a left turn into, What the heck does this have to do with heaven? Here’s the connection. More than a few times, because she was bedridden for so long, I heard people say things about my grandmother like, Well, she’s up there now, just a-dancin’ away, or She’s singin’ In The Garden with a heavenly choir as we speak! There are several of these little nuggets of ointment for the heart, but I started to think about what I want people to say about me when I go on to the Great Beyond. I started thinking about it during a trip to the grocery store when I was insanely hungry, but only had enough cash on me to buy the bare essentials. This is what I told my wife ... When I die, if anybody says I’m up there dancing or singing, I want you to tell them what I’m really doing. What’s that? I’ll be eating. I’ll be at a big table with everything I ever wanted to eat in front of me because it’s heaven and I can have whatever I want and as much of it as I want because it’s heaven. Seriously? Your idea of heaven is sitting at an enormous table, cramming your pie hole with macaroni and fried chicken? Of course not! I will be cramming my pie hole with pie. I’ll get to the macaroni after I tire of anything that’s loaded with sugar because it’s heaven and Wilford Brimley can’t tell me what to do. And if anybody dies and comes looking for me, tell them to just follow the trail of movie theater popcorn butter and it’ll lead ‘em right to me. Because heaven. You’re pathetic. IT’S HEAVEN! I started to think about all the other things that will be available to me, but nothing, other than Jesus, interested me. I think I mostly look forward to chewing delicious morsels of heavenly goodness, followed by swallowing said morsels and having them disappear into space without being bad for me. Because heaven. And then, because my mind won’t let a thing go very easily, I started thinking about the one thing other people might be looking forward to when the Roll Is Called Up Yonder. Again, don’t write me with your opinions about whether any of the people I’m about to mention will go to heaven. This is a comedy piece, not theological, as you can already tell. So quiet, you! I imagine The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, is snuggling up to the biggest crocodile you ever laid eyes on, giving it a noogie, and flossing it’s teeth, while wearing a necklace made from live baby cobras. Perhaps Lady Gaga (she’s still with us - don’t panic) will have a bathtub full of never ending feathers and eyeliner pencils and all the Elmer’s glue in the world to put together her next outfit. My literary muse, the late Lewis Grizzard, may well be watching reruns of the Run Lyndsay, Run play from the 1980 Georgia/Florida game. He will have a typewriter close by and, because it’s heaven, everybody up there will agree with everything he said in his latest article. Comedic actor, John Candy, will .... well, I guess he’ll be cramming food into his pie hole with me at the huge food table. Funerals are a weird experience. This was my daughter’s first time. Luckily, she didn’t have to endure watching too many people cry because we were all happy Grandma had moved on to what we believe is a place where she’s young again and perfect and eternally happy. And we believe we’ll get to see her again. At one point, during her last days, dementia had set in pretty aggressively and she began to think she was once again cooking biscuits from scratch. I told my mom they had missed a golden opportunity. They should have brought the ingredients over a;long with a big bowl and let her go to town. It’s been years since any of us have tasted Grandma’s homemade biscuits. She got too old to bother messing with them, but there was a time when she made them at every meal. I never knew one way or the other whether or not she enjoyed making them all those years or if it was a chore she was glad to be rid of. Something tells me she didn’t mind not having to make them, but there at the end, they must have been a reminder of a happy time for her to go back to them like that. She was surrounded by loved ones that had passed on during those last hours, too. She talked to her sister and brothers and my Grandpa. While we gathered around her and tried to keep her comfortable, she was in a different place in her mind - a different time. Back then there were few shows to choose from on the tv and very little, if any color in them. There were children and grandchildren and great grandchildren still to be raised and nosey outside cats to shoo away from the laundry basket while she hung clothes on the line in her bare feet. There were several of those mouse catchers over the years, but they all went by the same name … Kitty Tom. In the last days before she passed, I reckon she might have visited a Christmas or two when the family was all together and none of the dramas that filled our lives later on had happened yet. The tree in the corner would have been a real one, a bushy cedar, cut down by Grandpa’s own hand from the woods behind the house, and it would have been draped in stringy tinsel, and those huge colored lights that used to get so hot, it’s a miracle there weren’t more Christmas house burnings back then. There would have been Gene Autry playing a lonely cowboy tune on the cabinet stereo, or maybe a laugh track behind a black and white screen featuring Red Skelton on a television way smaller than a lot of people nowadays can remember. And I’m sure she could smell the biscuits cooking in the oven. That glorious aroma of fresh, golden brown bread. Yeah, that’s where I think I’ll be. Sitting at that table in front of a plate piled high with Grandma’s biscuits, sharing a meal with her one more time. One more of an eternity of times to come, and listening to her tell me her stories again. That’s where I’m gonna be. Because heaven.

This week we are talking to Jerusha Kasch from Rice University about the role of the emergency manager and were they belong in the organization chart. This is one of the key parts to increasing the professional standards of the field of emergency management. Guest BioJerusha Kasch began her Emergency Management career as a young girl in a house hold that had a serious preparedness focus. Her family maintained a 1 year food/necessities storage process for 10 people. Once, for Christmas, she and all her siblings were asked what item they wanted to contribute to the food storage for a year as their Christmas gift. You will have to ask her what she chose. Jerusha has officially worked as an emergency manager for over 10 years, but she pulls strongly on her other response backgrounds to support her emergency management role. Prior to her emergency management years, she has 18 years’ experience in multiple other response systems including, EMS, Law Enforcement, Hospital and clinical care. Jerusha has filled nearly all ICS command and general staff roles and has been extremely blessed over the years to consistently be in the right place at the right time, to be trained by skilled individuals. While Jerusha has attended several colleges and universities, she eventually finished her undergraduate and graduate studies at Portland State University, in Portland Oregon. Two of the universities she attended had mottos that were service based. “Enter to learn, go forth to serve” and “Let knowledge serve the city” are words that she has adopted in her life as a public servant. She takes them very seriously (with a splash of fun and humor, of course). A great deal of Jerusha’s time is spent training others for emergency management roles. Jerusha has been a CPD certified ICS instructor for 10 years and during that time has taught many (too many to count) ICS course curricula in multiple states (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Texas) at the basic and advanced level. She was one of the first Master level PIOs in the nation and continues to teach advanced PIO courses for FEMA and Wiland & Associates.Jerusha has been a member of several Incident Management Teams and has successfully built 4 Type III IMTs over the last 10 years.Jerusha is originally from Alabama and is a HUGE University of Alabama (ROLL TIDE) fan. She is married to a super cool husband, mother to a blended family of 5 and a grandmother of 3. She loves adrenaline sports of all kinds and has a bucket list a mile long.Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerusha-kasch-a00333160/Website: https://emergency.rice.edu/AdvertisersTitan HST https://www.titanhst.com/

Happy New Year! Before we took a break for the holidays, I interviewed my buddy Arthur Hyde, a uranium hedge fund manager at Segra Capital, and promised that it was part one of a two-part series. You can listen to the first episode here, where he and I begin our deep dive into the world of uranium and the fundamental drivers behind the market. Unfortunately, Art is down with the flu today… but I'll have part two for you next week. In the meantime, I revisited some lessons I've learned in my first year as a podcast host. (If you're a regular listener… and especially if you subscribe to my Moneyflow Trader investment advisory… you know I always take learnings and try to improve upon them.) On today's show I talk about the importance of having an investing framework… what mine is… and the critical role geopolitics play in it. Don't think I let you off the monologue hook… I share my predictions on the upcoming NFL playoffs—as well as tonight's national championship college football battle between Clemson and Alabama (Roll Tide!). And the Islanders are on fire...
