Flest fólk er hætt að greina á milli gervigreindarsmíðaðrar og manngerðrar tónlistar. Gervigreindarlög klýfa stöðugt hærra upp vinsældalista og gervilistamenn fá samninga við stór plötufyrirtæki. Við skoðum nokkur af þeim gervigreindarlögum sem hafa náð hátt á vinsældalista í Evrópu og Ameríku undanfarið. Við rýnum í gamantryllinn The Chair Company frá HBO. Það er grínistinn Tim Robinson sem skrifar þættina og leikur aðalhlutverkið, mann sem fer í örvæntingarfulla leit að aðstandendum dularfulls stólafyrirtækis sem ber ábyrgð á vandræðalegu stólaslysi sem hann lenti í. Brynja Hjálmsdóttir segir frá. Að lokum hittum við myndlistarkonuna Kristínu Helgu Ríkharðsdóttur á Gerðarsafni, hún er í hópi listamanna sem taka þátt í sýningunni Skúlptúr skúlptúr performans.

Niðurstaða rannsakenda, hér á landi og í Namibíu, er að meintar mútugreiðslur Samherja til namibískra áhrifamanna, séu talsvert hærri en áður hafði verið talið. Þetta herma heimildir fréttastofu. Nú, sléttum sex árum eftir að Kveikur í samstarfi við Wikileaks, Stundina, Al-Jazeera og namibíska dagblaðið The Namibian, fjölluðu fyrst um ásakanir um stórfelld mútubrot tengd starfsemi Samherja í Namibíu, sitja 10 menn í varðhaldi þar ytra og bíða þess að réttarhöld hefjist í máli þeirra. Land við Öskju hefur risið um nærri einn metra frá því landris hófst á ný við eldstöðina fyrir rúmum fimm árum. Haldi þessi þróun áfram gæti endað með eldgosi, en svo gæti allt dottið í dúnalogn og ekkert gerst. Fyrir fáum dögum varð jarðskjálfti í Öskju 3,5 að stærð og þótt það séu kannski ekki fréttir að jarðskjálfti mælist í Öskju, þá eru svo stórir skjálftar ekki algengir þar. Stærsta og öflugasta flugmóðurskip heims, hið bandaríska Gerald R. Ford, lónar nú á Karíbahafinu, undan norðurströnd Suður-Ameríku, með ríflega 4.000 manna áhöfn og tugi orrustuþotna um borð. Þetta risaskip er ekki eitt á ferð, því tugir annarra herskipa - orrustuskipa, freigáta, tundurspilla og minni flugmóðurskip fylgja því hvert sem það fer. Þessi flotadeild bætist við þann fjölda bandarískra herskipa, herþotna og kafbáta sem hafa haldið til í sunnanverðu Karíbahafi að undanförnu, ekki ýkja fjarri Venesúela, og haldið þar uppi mannskæðum árásum á báta meintra fíkniefnasmyglara.

Amer shares that he found peace in remembering that the core purpose of a business is to serve the customer. John agrees that the customer should be the top priority, but disagrees that everything else is "noise" - he believes there is value in other aspects of running a business beyond just customer service.The group discusses the importance of maintaining a customer-centric mindset while also allowing for personal and professional growth. They acknowledge the need to continuously improve, but caution against the view that anything not directly serving the customer is irrelevant.The conversation shifts to the challenges of maintaining relationships, especially with family members, when there are differences in personal development or perspectives. The group explores the tension between extending grace and holding people accountable, and the difficulty of determining when to disengage from unproductive dynamics.The group delves into the complexities of assessing someone's true intentions, distinguishing between self-deception and intentional deception. They discuss the importance of verifying claims and not accepting statements at face value, especially when the implications are significant.Amer suggests that sometimes the healthiest approach is to maintain neutrality and create distance from difficult relationships, rather than trying to change the other person or engage in a battle of wills. The group agrees that this can be a valid and powerful choice, especially when the effort required to improve the relationship outweighs the potential benefits.The group reflects on the key insights from the conversation, including the importance of acknowledging the difficulty of certain relationships, the value of silence and "I don't know" responses, and the need to be mindful of the labels and identities we adopt and how they shape our behavior. They conclude by emphasizing the distinction between difficulties caused by external factors versus those stemming from malintent, and the importance of maintaining perspective and grace in the face of challenging interpersonal dynamics.

Ráðamenn í Barcelona hafa lýst yfir stríði gegn Airbnb og ætla að losa sig við skammtímaleigufyrirtækið á næstu tveimur til þremur árum. Mýmargar íbúðir eru leigðar út til ferðamanna í borginni sem hefur slæm áhrif á húsnæðisverð og þar með íbúa. Svo fjöllum við um stríðið gegn eiturlyfjum. Donald Trump Bandaríkjaforseti hefur farið í róttækar hernaðaraðgerðir síðustu vikur sem hann segir beinast gegn flóði eiturlyfja frá rómönsku Ameríku til Bandaríkjanna. Trump segist hreinlega ætla að drepa þá sem reyna að smygla þaðan eiturlyfjum og það hafa verið gerðar tvær árásir í vikunni þar sem alls átján voru drepnir en enginn handtekinn. Síðustu tvo mánuði hafa rúmlega sextíu verið drepnir í svipuðum árásum og þessi aukna harka setur mikinn svip á samskipti Bandaríkjanna við stjórnvöld, til dæmis í Kólumbíu og Venesúela. Við spyrjum Dylan Herreira, doktorsnema í alþjóðastjórnmálum sem er frá Kólumbíu, hvers vegna Trump sé að herða tökin núna.

Aldrei hefur snjóað jafnmikið í Reykjavík í október, en jafnfallinn snjór mældist 27 sentímetrar við Veðurstofuna í dag. Það snjóar enn og breytast gular veðurviðvaranir í appelsínugular þegar líður á daginn. Færðin er í takt við veðrið og má búast við að hún versni enn. Lögreglan á Suðurnesjum mælist til þess að fólk gisti ekki í Grindavík á meðan appelsínugular viðvaranir eru í gildi, en þar er óvissustig almannavarna í gildi vegna jarðhræringa. Við sláum á þráðinn til Grindavíkur og heyrum í Einari Jóni Sveinssyni slökkviliðsstjóra. Við ræddum við Þóru Kristínu Ásgeirsdóttur, deildarstjóra Almannavarna á höfuðborgarsvæðinu, um veður og færð á höfuðborgarsvæðinu. Hrekkjavakan hefur á síðustu árum haldið innreið sína á Íslandi. Siðurinn hefur borist hingað frá Bandaríkjunum, en hátíðin á sér miklu eldri rætur sem má rekja til heiðinnar hausthátíðar sem Írar og Bretar fögnuðu til forna. Það hefur verið hefð að skera út grasker en ekki allir vita að áður en Evrópumenn numu Ameríku og fundu graskerið, voru luktir skornar út úr rófum. Við kíktum í heimsókn á Árbæjarsafnið í gær og fengum að vera viðstödd rófuútskurð. Áhersla á varnarmál hefur aukist mikið undanfarin misseri og ætla íslensk stjórnvöld að verja einu komma fimm prósent af vergri landsframleiðslu í öryggis og varnarmál fyrir árið 2035. Varnartengd starfsemi hér á landi felst meðal annars í að taka á móti liðsafla bandalagsríkja NATÓ, og erum við fær um að hýsa jafnvel þúsundir manna með tiltölulega skömmum fyrirvara. Jónas G.

TheAmer-Indians In this week's episode, Luke travels to the outer reaches of London's underground train network to meet James in Little Chalfont, to explore the places that increasing numbers of South Asian diasporas go when they move on from West London, and how they help transform those places and their cuisines. **Starters** (01.29-12-12) Ahead of their lunch with Vimal Dalal – a production editor on The Migration Menu and a one-time Southallian – James and Luke outline the history of post-World War II settlement in the suburbs and semi-rural towns that surround London. They discuss the appeal of such places – including the lure of selective school education – to those who first travelled from South Asia to London, settling in places like Southall, and the impact of these more recent movements on the suburban culinatry landscape. **Mains** (12:12-25:52) James and Luke meet Vimal outside The Kokum (www.thekokum.co.uk) for a pan-Indian inspired lunch, during which they hear the migration story of Vimal's family, from Gujarat and Tanzania, to Southall in the 1980s and, via Hayes, to Little Chalfont, a village near Amersham, in Buckinghamshire. **Dessert** (25:52-33:05) After lunch chat reflects on how the suburban curry house has been transformed by more recent waves of migration out from the inner cities, which have also expanded the range of South Asian groceries and vegetables available in local shops. New arrivals also find themselves supported by groups like the Amer-Indians, through which social events and business networks are co-ordinated. James and Luke also reflect on how a nostalgic vision of pre-war Britain came to be shared by some members of the South Asian diasporas who came to settle here. **The Menu** Masala Papad Palak Patta Chaat Tandoori Soya Chaap Mumbai Prawns Koliwada Malai Kofta Vegetable Handi Kombdi Rassa Jackfruit Dum Biryani Chilli Garlic Coriander Naan Works Cited: Baumann, Gerd. 1996.

Rætt er við Boga Nils Bogason forstjóra Icelandair í tilefni af uppgjöri félagsins eftir fyrstu 9 mánuði ársins 2025. Þrátt fyrir auknar tekjur og ýmis jákvæð teikn í rekstrinum olli rekstrarniðurstaðan vonbrigðum og spáð er tapi á rekstri félagsins í árslok. Eftir 8 ár af ósjálfbærum rekstri segir forstjórinn nauðsynlegt að snúa rekstrinum við eigi síðar en á næsta ári. Hann segir nauðsynlegt að félagið verði samkeppnisfært og gagnrýnir misvitur gjöld í nafni umhverfisins sem virki ekki og valda félaginu gríðarlegum kostnaði. Bogi varar líka við auknum sköttum á flugrekstur og ferðaþjónustuna og gagnrýnir harðlega vinnubrögð innviðaráðherra nýlega þegar sett var reglugerð eftirá í kjölfar falls Play. Ýmis önnur viðfangsefni ber á góma í spjallinu við Boga eins og breytingar á flotamálum, kjarasamninga og áframhaldandi harða samkeppni við stærstu flugfélög Evrópu og Norður-Ameríku.

Á næsta ári fagna Bandaríkjamenn því að 250 ár eru frá því að lýðveldi þeirra var stofnað. Margir sérfræðingar segja þó að staða réttarríkisins og lýðræðisins í þessu valdamesta lýðræðisríkis sögunnar hafi sjaldan ef aldrei verið í jafn mikilli hættu. Í þáttaröðinni okkar Konungssinnar í Kísildal kom Sveinn Máni Jóhannesson sagnfræðingur og talaði um stofnun Bandaríkjanna, en okkur langaði að fá hann til okkar aftur og nú til að greina stöðuna í dag, hvort amerískt lýðræði sé raunverulega í hættu. Við fjöllum svo um heimildarmyndina Paradís amatörsins sem var frumsýnd á Skjaldborgarhátíðinni í vor. Myndin notast meðal annars við mikið magn heimamyndbanda sem fjórir ólíkir menn birtu af hversdagslífi sínu á Youtube.

Venesúela er í rúst – efnahagslega og pólitískt. Samfélagslegir innviðir hafa verið brotnir niður. Mannréttindi eru fótum troðin og milljónir manna hafa flúið land. Nicolás Maduro, lærisveinn og eftirmaður Chavez á forsetastóli, heldur ótrauður áfram við að breyta auðugasta landi Suður-Ameríku í það fátækasta. Enn eitt draumaríki sósíalismans hefur breyst í martröð – auðlegð hefur orðið að örbirgð alþýðunnar. Í gegnum söguna hafa einstaklingar, karlar og konur, sýnt ótrúlegt hugrekki í baráttunni fyrir frelsi og mannlegri reisn. Václav Havel í Tékklandi stóð upp gegn kommúnistastjórninni og varð síðar leiðtogi lýðræðislegrar endurreisnar landsins. Í Póllandi sameinaði Lech Wałęsa verkafólk undir merkjum Samstöðu og leiddi þjóð sína til sjálfstæðis og frelsis frá ógnarstjórn kommúnista og Sovétríkjanna. Í Rússlandi lagði Alexei Navalní líf sitt í sölurnar með því að afhjúpa spillingu og berjast gegn Pútín. Hann var myrtur með eitri í fangabúðum enda talinn hættulegur stjórnvöldum – var sérstakur þyrnir í augum Pútíns. Í Íran hafa konur eins og Narges Mohammadi neitað að þegja og greitt fyrir það með frelsi og sumar lífi sínu. Og í Venesúela stendur María Corina Machado óbuguð gegn ofríki Maduros.

I am joined by ⁠Sean Lewis⁠, Director of Partnerships at Vicasso and the Serviceblazer User Group Leader for AMER.   We talk about his journey from customer support to sales to partnerships and everything in between. When he was selling, a Salesforce AE sent them a referral to a F100 company that really opened his eyes to the value of the partnership. Now Vicasso has two FTEs focused on partnerships to drive further top of the funnel growth. The partner team at Vicasso focuses on Salesforce AEs, SEs and leaders but has started to explore SI partnerships as well since Vicasso no longer provides SI work as part of their business as a pure ISV. Sean shares an incredibly valuable learning around focus when it comes to coselling with Salesforce.  One time they found that one Service Cloud RVP has 5x the number of existing accounts and were only in 5% of their total accounts. Hyperfocus means Sean and his team knows where they will provide value to them.If your app helps add value to Service Cloud users, the Serviceblazer community events might be worth your time to check out. Here is a link to ⁠join the serviceblazer slack community⁠.We talk a bit about Chris Voss' book called ⁠Never Split the Difference⁠, which is a sales classic everyone can get value out of.

C'était la finale rêvée, celle que l'on attendait après 12 jours d'un Masters 1000 qui a été très long. Mais cette finale à Cincinnati entre Jannik Sinner et Carlos Alcaraz a fait pschitt. L'Italien a dû déclarer forfait alors qu'il était mené 5 jeux à 0 car il ne se "sentait pas bien". La conclusion d'une tournée nord-américaine bien fade entre Toronto ou Sinner, Alcaraz, et Djokovic avaient fait l'impasse et Cincinnati ou les abandons se sont succédés jours après jours. Quel bilan, on en parle dans Sans Filet. Dans la 2e partie de l'émission, on distribue les tops et les flops, ce sera surtout l'occasion d'évoquer la finale dame et la consécration d'Iga Swiatek. En dominant l'italienne, Jasmine Paolini, la polonaise retrouver sa place de numéro 2 mondial et prouve bien qu'elle n'est pas qu'une joueuse de terre battue après son sacre à Wimbledon. La dernière partie de l'émission nous enverra sur les pronostics de la journée avec au menu : Winston Salem, Cleveland, Monterrey et les qualifications à l'US Open Débats, tactiques et pronostics avec Romain, SV, Quento et Benoit Maylin.

I’m your host, Amy Smith. Today we have Sheri who grew up in foster care and aged out of the foster care system. She currently works at Angels Landing, and we’re so excited to have her with us today. Thanks, Sheri. Sheri: Thank you. Amy: You have a really incredible story and I’m sure filled with also a lot of heartache and pain as well. So we wanna be sensitive to that. But would you just start by introducing yourself? Sheri: Absolutely. [00:01:00] Like you said, my name’s Sheri. I’m 23 years old. Gonna be turning 24 this year and I , work at Angels Landing. I, that’s like the best introduction I think I’ve got. Amy: I love it. So tell us a little bit what Angel’s Landing is for those who don’t know. Sheri: So Angels Landing is a nonprofit organization that serves young adults from eighteen to to 26. And our mission statement is Angels Landing builds community centered on empowering young adults transitioning from foster care to achieve self-sufficiency and create a life that they love. And so that is absolutely something that I needed when I aged out of foster care. And it’s been an absolute great opportunity and another resource as someone who doesn’t have tons of resources, and especially that family unit. Having another spot is always something that creates [00:02:00] So much support in my life. And so Angel’s Landing been great and I’m excited to, to dive into what that looks like. Amy: I love that. So maybe start by telling us a little bit about your story and how you found. Sheri: I aged into foster care when I was 12 years old. My mom passed away when I was three and a half, and so she passed away in a car accident on Valentine’s Day, Amy: Oh man. Sheri: so it’s the love day. So I try to always look at it like all the positives, right? But yep. Lost my mom at three and a half years old and. I’ve got a beautiful, twin sister and another big brother. He’s about a year and a half older than I am, and then an older sister who’s seven years older. So there’s four of us total. But yeah, so growing up, um, didn’t have a, a mom for, for very long and, um, after she passed away, it was really hard for my dad and I have a hard [00:03:00] time saying my dad, but just ’cause of that, the trauma. the history in there. Unfortunately, we were left with our dad and he was abusive and in all ways emotionally, but vocally, all the things. As we got older, I, I thankfully had other. People in my life that weren’t that way. I had my grandma and school teachers that treated me with love. And I soon began to realize how the way that I was being treated at home was very different from the way that I was being treated in other places. And I really liked the way that I was being treated in other places than at home. And at 12 years old. I, I made the courageous act of turning my father in. That was a really hard thing. Amy: Yeah, I. Sheri: But it needed to happen because it was the life I needed, this life that, that, that love that I always felt [00:04:00] from the outside. And I wanted to live that every day. And so heard of this thing called foster care, and you get a new mom and a new dad, and I was like, man. That is exactly what we need. That is exactly what we need. And we’ll be perfect you guys. I promise. My brother was really scared. My sister was like super trusting and so early morning, two hours we ended it outside of school. But as soon as That door opened, we went inside the school and we advocated for ourselves at 12 years old and what was going on and some situations that had happened at home. And thankfully, after about eight hours at school the conversations had ended and the foster care journey had started. And it was hard. That was hard too, but it was much better than what we were dealing with before anything. Give me anything. Foster care’s hard, but it was better. And that’s how it all started for us. For the beginning of that [00:05:00] entering of foster care and, not starting that big, that journey without a mom and then really not starting that journey, a supportive. Father figure that I could look up to I felt that foster care was our golden ticket, and it truly was in a lot of ways. I am so 100% grateful for foster care and yeah, it took me out of a really dark place at home and it was hard. And yeah, then the journey started. Amy: That is, I think that’s a really unusual story. I think a lot of kids come into foster care and they’re trying to hide this trauma And abuse that’s going on and they’re not brave enough to go and tell a trusting adult, Hey, this. Is not okay. So I find that really admirable that you and your siblings were able to do that. That’s really amazing. Sheri: Thank you. Amy: yeah. The bio that you sent over before this episode, it showed that you bounced around quite a bit in foster care. Are you [00:06:00] able or willing to touch on, you know what, so you entered foster care and, and it was a relief in some way, but. What were the hard parts of foster care and where were the pains and the struggles in the foster care system? Sheri: Oh man. See, there’s a polarity of the two, right? Yeah. Where do I begin? Is where my head starts, and I think the beginning of it is, I was eventually separated from my siblings. And, that’s very common in foster care. It’s not something that anybody wants, but unfortunately that’s just sometime is the case. And being separated from my brother, my big brother was one thing, but being separated from my twin sister was. S completely different.  She was the person that I walked into the school with to tell the counselor what was going on at home and she was the person I wanted to grow up with, as sisters do. And so eventually we had, I think about. Two foster [00:07:00] homes together about maybe a year and a half, two years until we were separated. And that was a very big heartache and super, super hard. Still something that today in my life and a her life that we are actively trying to create this relationship and.Kind of fix that gap that we got in foster care. Amy: Yeah. I bet. Sheri: Yeah. Being separated for her was, it was like a, it was like a movie. We had our hands like this until we just couldn’t anymore. It was the most dramatic thing you’d ever see, Amy: Yeah. Sheri: but just definitely shows how much love there is there and how important family is. And yeah. After that I, I went through a lot of homes. Total. There was 13 foster homes from 12 to 18 years old. The longest that I was placed in a home was about 10 months, so never a full year in any home.That [00:08:00] itself created a lot of instability in my life. And actually before I, as I’ve been. This podcast has been coming up for me. I’ve been digging into my past a little bit and getting back into that little girl who was living in that.And something that, I’ve realized and I’ve learned is I’ve kept a ton of journals. That was, That was my outlet, that was the person that I confided in, was my journal. ’cause there were so many therapists, there were so many foster parents. And so the one person that always stuck with me was my journal. And so I’ve just got Amy: What a gift to have that now, wow. That’s cool. Sheri: Yes. And so being able to dive back in that has been such a eye-opening thing. But I’ve got about 10 journals just filled, and I’ve seen just through the process when you open this first journal of this 12-year-old girl, she’s so sweet and she’s excited and innocent and. I hope that I find my mom and dad and just [00:09:00] really have so much faith in that, and that’s something I really have always carried. there’s even still a little something in there still just that love and that faith. But. Throughout the years of foster care from 12 to 18 in those journals, you see this innocence this faith after the many homes to fade away. It’s just a little bit of the hardening. A little bit more of those guards start to come up after each, door of a home. And some homes didn’t work out because for my own preference, it was maybe that family was a very different lifestyle than I could. That would make me genuinely happy. Or, it just didn’twork out on their part too. I’ve had, there was multiple homes that I had that were, they were very young foster parents. One was 27, and then I even had a pair of foster parents that were 23 and being 23 years old now I’m just like. What in the world, where Amy: Having a teenager. Can you imagine? Sheri: yes. And so [00:10:00] I, I have so much grace now for it, Amy: Yeah. Sheri: but it was definitely tough. And so realizing that I needed a very stable and sturdy home and during that time, and it was definitely a rollercoaster for sure. I’d love to touch on my longest placement For a little bit, if that’s. Okay, so my longest placement was In Salt Lake City and this placement was just after a previous home that I was potentially going to be adopted from. And this woman was 20, I think she was 27. She was the one of the younger ones. She was so amazing. The second I saw her, I was like, wow, she would be the best mom in the world. Amy: Wow. Sheri: And I spent four months in her home before I got moved and that, that didn’t work. And like I said, now as an adult, I’m just like, yeah, I totally understand. And she’s sweet. She’s told me you helped me [00:11:00] more than I helped you. And I’m like, man, thank you. And if you’re welcome, Amy: Yeah, exactly. Sheri: she’s a sweetheart and. All grace to it, it’s really lessons that I feel like we can pull from it, like for foster parents listening, like making sure that they’re at a age and they’ve got that experience that they’re really ready to take on that kind of a role. After this move, I moved up to Salt Lake City, Utah, and coming from St. George and that potential adoptive home was in Manti. So I’ve only ever experienced small town. Amy: Yeah. Sheri: Thanks. And next thing I know, I’m being moved up to West Valley, Utah in, a very big city and I was just like, whoa. And I was just had turned 16 out there just , becoming this young woman and I’m, I’ve just gone through all these homes and now I’m in this big city and I’m just like, holy moly. Life is wild. [00:12:00] But just always, still carrying that attitude of, just getting through it and I think a big thing that really got me through it was, of course my sister. Just having that person to want to keep going for and that person to want to be like, how do, sorry, gimme just a second how I explain this. Be a role model for her, because I won’t, wouldn’t want my sister to be sad. I wanna be a good, I wanna be happy, I want, so that, that can be shared and that can be, like, I’ve seen Lots of people around us, that just feel really sorry about their situation and so just doing, I’ve always had that attitude of just doing my best in. And being a light and just being as positive as possible. But after entering Salt Lake and going through about 10 homes at this point and leaving a home, I didn’t get adopted in. I was feeling pretty, [00:13:00] pretty sad. And then being this big city, just feeling like really small, big tall cities, Amy: very overwhelming. Yeah. Sheri: And actually when I got moved over to this home, half of my stuff didn’t get moved over, Amy: Oh man. Sheri: and so when I had been moved over, it was wintertime and up north you get snow down St. George, you don’t even really need to buy a big fur coat, you just need a hoodie and you’re fine. I needed a big code out there and going through homes and having this instability, something I had a hard time in learning was how to advocate for myself. How to ask for help. And so I didn’t even think about asking my foster mom for a pair of socks and a jacket, and I didn’t have socks and I didn’t have a jacket. So I layered up five long sleeve shirts and I just got as warm as I could and I had my little vans on and I walked to school and I had to walk a while to get to the bus, and the bus would take me to the train. And then after the train, you walk [00:14:00] to school and. After a few weeks of doing that, this was my first entry into West Valley. And the city was winter. And not having the the basic needs to feel warmth and how to advocate for myself. And I’ll never forget this moment. I love sharing it. And about two weeks of walking in the snow, each step just got more painful. This little cheery, like we can push through. It was just like This sucks. I’m really starting to say it like this is just starting to suck, and so I got to this point where I had to wait for the crosswalk and I raised up my fists and I finally let some emotion out and I said, God, could it get any worse than this? And a school bus drove right past me and splashed cold water all over me. And I said, okay, I hear you. It could get worse. But interesting enough, [00:15:00] I look at other kids and I would completely understand to com have a complete fit. At that point, I was so happy. I felt that I had just gotten an answer and that.I was exactly where I needed to be and that things could be worse and that things are gonna get better. And That really carried me through foster care. And yeah, just having a lot of that faith and, I eventually came back to St. George and was able to be with my siblings and went to a lot of different schools. I went to seven high schools total in just the span of four years. I have a lot of friends, a lot of connections. Amy: yeah. Sheri: I could, I take the pros from it. There’s lots of pros from it and so I just really try to look at life that way. I think that’s the best way. For me, so Amy: I think that’s actually quite unusual. I think there’s a lot of youth who experience [00:16:00] similar things to what you’ve experienced. They experience aging out. We all know the statistics. They are not great. So I think that’s really remarkable that you have been able to have such a positive attitude and have that kind of faith and have, you are a remarkable person that you’ve endured so much and you’re just keep going and you have a beautiful demeanor about you and you’re happy and finding the good. I think that’s really unusual and really beautiful. Sheri: Thank you. It’s that polarity, right? Amy: I guess so. Sheri: I love it. I love it. Yeah. Amy: So tell us about how you found Angels Landing and what that offered you and what it can offer other kids that are experiencing similar life circumstances. Sheri: So after aged out of foster care I didn’t have the foster parents. I didn’t have the caseworkers. I had bills after I had bills and I had to go to work and there was no more school and there was no more hanging out with friends. It was time [00:17:00] to start growing up and it was time to start figuring out what life I wanted to create and make that for myself. And so at 18 years old, after all those homes and all that, really it was. It was hard to transition into that. I, it took me a while. I think I still tried , be a kid as long as I could. I think the biggest piece of it though, was after finally getting out of, I wouldn’t say getting out of foster care because really the goal was to get adopted for me. But that’s not the case for everybody. And so once I did age out of foster careI, got a job and I think the biggest piece of it for me was that once I aged out of foster care, I could now finally start to process all of it because being in it, there was no chance of that. Okay, Amy: Interesting. Sheri: so for the last five years I’ve been processing all of it. And 18, 19, you’re this young [00:18:00] still kid, right? You’re labeled an adult, but you’re still really a kid. And so just figuring that out and processing it all. But now that my frontal lobe’s getting closer to developing, that’s something I could, I’m excited about. But really I think just the time. It’s the time to be able to process what I had just went through and that was hard. Doing that alone at 18. Like I said, my mom passed away when I was three and I turned my dad in at 12. And so he was incarcerated for 10 years and that’s not a connection I’m willing to have. And so there was no such thing as a parental figure in my life after foster care. And even in foster care, I had people I could look up to, but there really wasn’t a solid, too much of a solid person. Amy: Right. Sheri: And just to advocate, I feel that this is something I would love to share is shout out to Big Brothers and Big Sisters program seriously be [00:19:00] because I’ve had a big sister from Big Brothers Big Sisters since I was 12, and she. Wasn’t my mom, know, didn’t have to take on this big duty, but she took on this role as a sister and she was my sister throughout foster care and, she’s still my big sister now.  And so she was someone I was able to really look up to and have that solid connection. Amy: That is amazing. Sheri: It’s probably over 10 years now, Amy: Yeah, Sheri: yeah. Amy: and I think a lot of times we talk about in foster care, you just need one caring adult and it would be lovely to have 10 or 20 caring adults, of course. But it sounds like you have that caring adult and you have that person who you can rely on. Maybe they’re not your mom, maybe you weren’t adopted by them, but you have that stable connection. That’s incredible. Sheri: So it didn’t for me in this case, it didn’t need to be that, but it did need to be somebody. That’s, and that’s so true that one caring adult. And for me that was Katie. Her name’s Katie, and she’s absolutely [00:20:00] phenomenal. And I think I bug her and call her as much as she used to try to get ahold of me when I was a kid. She’s got, she’s got her own now. Yep.  They’ve totally turned. I love it. But she’s, I say that she’s really a big reason of who I am today and just been able to be that stable person. So I had her in foster care after aging out, and she took me to get my first set of groceries, everything I needed, and laundry detergent and just all the stables like, here it is, this is what you need. Go get ’em, sister. And she just totally believed in me and set me up for success. And yeah that was great. But like I said, she’s got tables of turns. She’s got her own kids now and. I was still very young and needed some support. And navigating that alone for some time in some spaces were hard, but very growing. And that’s just when Amer clap happened for me and for, for Utah. And that’s when Angel’s Landing came around. And seriously, it was just like, wow, all my [00:21:00] prayers have been answered. When I was a kid in foster care, I always wanted to be a part of something that helped young adults that have aged out or just in something. And I just, I love the goal of it. It’s beautiful. And Angels Landing They help young adults that wanna create a life they love and former foster youth. There’s a certain, there’s a specific dynamic, this specific space, and I love that’s. That’s important to this community and that’s a part of this community. And being around other like-minded individuals that aren’t defined by their past and don’t wanna be defined by their past And come together and and create the life that they love and have that opportunity to do so through different things, different resources, like Angel’s Landing has. Activities once a month. So that’s providing, new experiences that maybe one wouldn’t get to have. Amy: Yeah. Sheri: Going hiking to Zion or going boating out in San Hollow. They really try to incorporate these [00:22:00] experiences that we. Adults like to have and give our own kids and that really are showing casing that there is so much life to live and so much fun to have. And that’s such a beautiful piece of just that community and get getting together. That just is really awesome. And they also have core classes. They do. Let’s see here. I just wanna go off of our website just to give some real real service here. And so the biggest service of Angels Landing is mental health, because I know that, okay, these guys have been through so much, which is so true. It’s not a, it’s not a normal situation. And so being able to provide a space where that can be worked out and processed and free, it is such a resource. And so Angel Landing provides that and it’s absolutely awesome. They have really cool learning opportunities that teach different skills that any young [00:23:00] adult would wanna know, like finances housing wellness.Tools transportation, how to buy a car, what all of those things look like. Here are the tools. Here’s the information. And then after that, they provide that financial support so that, that gap can really be bridged and that opportunity can really be given because in a world that we are in, that’s something that’s necessary.And if there’s that, that beautiful, that leg up, that financial support with that learning opportunity, it’s. So awesome because it feels so earned and it’s just man, I’m really getting on this path of success here. Like these people are really seeing this, writing this, path out for me and giving this opportunity for me to have, and then of course, just that community piece with those activities. So it’s a wonderful opportunity for young adults that have been through foster care and need that kind of support. Amy: I think all those things that you’re saying, those are [00:24:00] things that parents should be teaching that role models should be teaching, that healthy adults should be teaching. So kids that are aging out, they have missed that opportunity and it is. Horrible. They should never have had to miss the opportunity. But having this program, this nonprofit that’s now providing these resources, that is invaluable and it’s gonna change the statistics of kids aging out, Sheri: It is gonna a hundred percent change the statistics. And, I always say like you might be seeing and hearing one person right now, It’s, gonna be a generational thing because I’m gonna go on to teach my kid these skills and then that kid’s gonna do the same, and then those statistics will get lower. And that’s just how it works. I just love it. I just, I love the mission of it all. It’s. Amy: No, it’s, it is amazing and I didn’t even know it. existed, and I. I. have closed my foster care license, but. I have been a foster parent. And I think this is really important for foster parents to know about to teach the kids, show them this resource that they do have and [00:25:00] also to educate the public. Kids are aging out with no support. Some kids are aging out with awesome foster parents, right? That happens too. And so just educating the public that this is a resource for. Kids that have experienced aging out of the foster care system, that is invaluable. So where are the best places that people can get information? Do you guys have a website, an Instagram? What’s the best place that someone can reach out and find ways to get support? Sheri: Yes, so we’ve got a website, angels landing foundation.org. And we’ve also got an Instagram, Angels Landing Foundation. Amy: Okay. Awesome. So those are two really easy ways that foster parents or kids that are aging out or have aged out and need resources can reach out to you guys. I love that. On a personal note, I would love to know what the outcome of your twin sister and your brother were in the foster care system. Sheri: Great question. Thank you. Me and my sister live together now. We’re together now. Um, yeah, it’s definitely something that [00:26:00] we have to, really practice our, as just sisters do and family does. But on top of just what we’ve been through, it’s definitely been a learning curve and twins, but we love each other and she’s doing amazing. She’s actually an Ayurvedic chef. Amy: Wow. Sheri: she’s cooking at a retreat center and diving into holistic medicine and wellness and just, yeah. I think just providing the tools we can to live our best life. That’s what we wanted when we were 12, when we were leaving our situation, and it’s what we still want now.And yeah just, yeah. I’m so proud of her and what she’s doing and I love that we’re both in this realm of kind of.Giving backand providing the tools for ourselves but also not being defined by our pasts.And I love how that shows light to other, other people. I I’ve had, there’s young adults that walk into Angel’s Landing and they say she was a she was in foster care. Like what? [00:27:00] They just can’t even believe it. And it’s like you have this light inside of you as well and you are capable of all of these things as well. And none of that is even the you You’re not your past. And so it’s just super cool to be able to round like-minded individuals and it’s wonderful. Amy: I love that. That is beautiful. Thank you so much. And it truly is,as a foster parent who has had a lot of kids come through my home, it’s really remarkable to see. How courageous you are, how much you’re giving back the good that you’re doing for yourself and for the community. It’s just, it’s really remarkable. And I just wanna commend you on that ’cause you’veendured a lot. I can imagine. And you’re really putting your best foot forward for yourself and for others. And that’s, it’s really beautiful. So thank you for all that you’re doing in the community. Thank you so much for joining our podcast today.

Amer's Netflix comedy series about his life, Mo, is now in its second season. His family is Palestinian, and fled the first Gulf War, so Amer grew up in Houston from age nine. "Palestinian culture is a folksy farmer kind of mentality and life," Amer says. "And when I came to Texas, one of the things that was really attractive to me was the country music, the folksy music, the storytelling tradition of that." Amer spoke with Dave Davies in 2022 when his series debuted.
