This week, Adam recaps a nearly perfect live band karaoke night, including a packed room, a prospective wedding client who actually showed up, singing with his dad, and a sound engineer powering through a broken foot.The guys also introduce a new look back at this week in Cover Band Confidential history before abandoning the planned topic entirely to address Fender CEO Bud Cole's comparison of cover bands to “analog AI.”It is an analogy that manages to misunderstand cover musicians, generative AI, copyright, royalties, musicianship, and a significant portion of Fender's own customer base all at once.Adam and Dan break down why performing an existing song is not remotely the same as generating content from uncredited source material, how working bands help sustain the music economy, and why Fender probably should not diminish the musicians buying its instruments.Cover bands are not artificial intelligence. We are actual intelligence.Most of us, anyway.Episode Links: -Block Parties, Bombshells, and Bloody Knuckles- 08-01-25-Music, Politics (and the art of keeping your mouth shut)- 07-25-24-The Three Things You Need To Succeed- 07-27-23-Weaponizing The Audience's Nostalgia- 07-28-22-The Magic Word 07-29-2021-Nick Niespodziani of Yacht Rock Revue (Vulture Article this week) 07-2020-061 (Running your Band like a Business)- 07-29-19-018 (Finding bandmates and building relationships with venues) 07-26-2018Sweetwater Affilate Link: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/xJE4rk  BACTrack Affiliate Link: https://www.bactrack.com/coverbandconfidential  MaestroDMX (10% off discount link): https://maestrodmx.com/discount/DISCOUNT4CBC?redirect=%2Fproducts%2FmaestrodmxBlank Contracts & Riders: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/performance-contractsBacking Track Resources: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/backing-track-resourcesThank you so much for tuning in!  If you want to help be sure to like, subscribe and share with your friends!  BANDLEADER RESOURCES: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/links Consider supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/coverbandconfidential

Chris, Ade and Jeremiah explore the ways new technology can help you make fantastic photos.

Wie verändert sich Dein Blick durch den Sucher, wenn nicht mehr unbegrenzt viele Bilder zur Verfügung stehen? Lars und Falk gehen dieser Frage in einer neuen Reihe zur analogen Fotografie nach, und was sie dabei herausfinden, lässt sich auch auf Deine digitale Fotografie übertragen. Beide haben sich gerade eine analoge Kamera zugelegt, Lars eine Bronica ETRSi im Mittelformat, Falk eine analoge Leica, und berichten offen, wo sie bei sich selbst Nachlässigkeit im fotografischen Sehen bemerkt haben. Falk erzählt, wie ihm bei digitalen Kameras zunehmend das bewusste Ringen um ein Bild fehlt, Lars gesteht, wie oft er heute aus reinem Erinnerungsdrang auslöst statt aus fotografischem Interesse. Aus diesen Beobachtungen entwickeln sie einen konkreten Vorschlag, den Du auch ohne eigene analoge Kamera ausprobieren kannst: eine Woche lang bewusst weniger fotografieren und Dir vor jedem Bild kurz Zeit für die Entscheidung nehmen. Setz Dich gern zu uns und finde heraus, welche der Fragen, die sich Lars und Falk hier stellen, Dir beim nächsten Griff zur Kamera weiterhelfen könnten.

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===We've been talking about how the old school is the new school for quite some time now. But what if this idea goes way beyond meeting women in real life instead of on apps and reclaiming classic virtuous masculinity? The new term is "analog resistance" and it's probably not what you think. This isn't a bunch of old codgers saying, "get off my lawn". As it turns out, younger generations are leading the charge. The problem is, having never lived a life apart from electronic domination, they don't exactly know how. This spells a brilliant opportunity for older men to attract younger women...but only if you're not a "dinosaur" about it. Take the Reality Check Inventory quiz for FREE at: https://mountaintoppodcast.com/realitycheck === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === Snippets From The Summit are all about completely original ideas for success with women that also happen to be extremely effective...and actionable. It's all built on the "Big Four": Confidence, Masculinity, Liking Women, and Good Character. Better men get better women.

PODCAST EPISODE | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli Fifteen years ago, Rose Ross brought a client an idea for an awards program built specifically for enterprise tech startups. The client passed. She built it herself — and the Tech Trailblazers have been running ever since, independent, judged by practitioners, and open for entries until 3 September.

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary Lipovetsky sits down with Curtis Gardner, a full time automotive technician who went from roughly 15,000 followers to nearly half a million in just a few months and reached more than 100 million views along the way. Curtis shares how years of recording video inspections for customers helped him become comfortable behind the camera, why he started creating content to help other technicians, and how experimenting with one new format completely changed the trajectory of his personal brand. He also opens up about leaving a job he had held for nine years because they would not allow him to create content in the shop, dealing with criticism from coworkers and strangers online, and the sacrifices required to balance a full time career, marriage, fatherhood, and one of Instagram's fastest growing accounts. This conversation goes far beyond cars. Gary and Curtis unpack the psychology of virality, why storytelling can be more important than technical skill on social media, the pressure to repeat what works, and why creators must continue experimenting even after finding a successful format. They also discuss the importance of building a personal brand around a genuine mission, why every skilled professional has the opportunity to become their own media company, and how social media can help technicians, plumbers, dentists, lawyers, electricians, accountants, and other experts create opportunities far beyond their traditional careers.

Canadian Benefits Coaching is a phenomenal tool we've developed recently with help from world-class US health insurance enrolment firm Daniel Harris and Audrey Engle of BPA (Brian Patten & Associates). Benefits Coaching is simply the practice of sitting down with an employee, one on one, face to face IRL or on video, to help them enrol in their company's group benefits health insurance during open enrolment or key life events like being newly hired, adding dependents, or moving on to retirement. It's also the practice of communicating very clearly and simply to plan members of all stripes. Communications are done 1:1, one-to-many, or broadcast through in person, email, video, SMS, mail, or any medium where it makes things simple and accessible for plan members in English, French or Spanish.We have been building out our Benefits Counsellor practice due to demand from large enterprise cross-border Canada-US employers.As we assembled our team of 30 bilingual advisors / coaches, we were met with one of two reactions from brokers in our network:“You're crazy. I will never do this. This will never work.”Or“This is phenomenal. It is just like how I started out in my career. This is the yin to the yang of AI bots. We need humans talking to humans to explain the complexities of health insurance. And we need teams talking to teams.”AND — plan sponsors of all sizes, especially large ones, have had only One. Singular. Reaction:“This is incredible. You mean you will give me back 60 minutes a week AND you'll give my team of HR managers back 30 minutes a day to take off something on our plate that has been a pain point since the beginning of time?”Yes. Beneplan and BPA will, with permission from the plan sponsor and advisor of record, book 1:1 meetings with every single one of your hundreds or thousands of employees during enrollment, and once a year, to explain the plan and be there for them.Are we going too far? Or are we here to help you — the key consultant on the file — help more Canadian employers? And educate more workers?There is no fee or cost to employers to set this up. Commission is earned by Beneplan, BPA, and the advisor on the sale of extra optional voluntary products that employees may choose to add on at time of purchase. All benefits coaches are licensed and regulated insurance advisors in their respective province of Canada or the US. Special thanks to Matthew Williamson and our advisor network at Insurance Offices of America (IOA) as part of the Navacord group.

Maveron partner Natalie Dillon joins Brian and Alicia to challenge the consumer-collapse narrative: sentiment sits at post-9/11 lows while spending breaks records. Natalie sheds light on truths of today's consumer, who is skeptical but continually shopping amid a cultural undertow where AI adoption stays surprisingly shallow, Gen Z turns skeptical, and analog living re-emerges as status. PLUS: Are cults the new future of commerce?  Your Gen Z Consumer Is Busy Touching Grass Key takeaways: Shoppers reallocated rather than retreated. Stats show fewer purchases that are higher value and more intentional.  AI adoption stays shallow, but health and wellness is the emerging opportunity, especially among consumers aged 35+.  Gen Z, the presumed AI natives, skew most negative, fueling an analog revival. Costco remains the disciplined benchmark for marketing, merchandise, and customer experience. [26:30] "Gen Z spikes the most negative on AI across age groups, which was shocking." — Natalie Dillon [43:09] "I do think some companies still look to Costco…but I think no one has disciplined themselves to the extent that Costco has." — Natalie Dillon Associated Links: Learn more about Maveron Maveron consumer research report "Your Body is a Data Land" (Future Commerce, 2017) Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

Why Gen Z Is Bringing Back Old Tech | Vinyl, CDs, Flip Phones & Film Are Surging Yesterday Why Gen Z Is Bringing Back Old Tech | Vinyl, CDs, Flip Phones & Film Are Surging Why are young people embracing yesterday's technology? Vinyl records are booming, CD sales are climbing, film cameras are back, and even flip phones are making a surprising comeback. After decades of racing toward an all-digital world, are we finally experiencing digital fatigue? On today's episode, Karel explores why consumers are rediscovering physical media and analog technology. As streaming services remove content, gaming companies push toward digital-only ownership, and algorithms dominate our daily lives, more people are asking a simple question: Do we actually own anything anymore? We'll look at the data behind the resurgence of vinyl records, compact discs, film photography, and "dumb phones," why Gen Z is leading much of this movement despite never growing up with these technologies, and whether this is nostalgia—or the beginning of a cultural shift back toward tangible experiences. Are we moving backward... or simply reclaiming something we've lost? The Karel Cast is powered by viewers like you. Support independent broadcasting at Patreon.com/ReallyKarel.

In the age of AI, humans are becoming more guarded about what they consume, who they invest in, and which brands they trust. And on the other side of that shift, something beautiful is happening: analog is exploding, in-person is booming, and people are craving real connection and simplicity more than ever. In this reflective episode, Kelly shares why she's personally doubling down on in-person experiences, the phrase she wants you to sit with this year, and her own journey of rebuilding female friendship and community after moving to Florida. She talks about why friendship so often gets pushed to the bottom of the list during our most driven seasons, and why, at a certain level of success, the less measured, less strategic, more human things become the ones that matter most.

PODCAST EPISODE | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli Every organization has a policy on AI. Most of them are unwritten, unspoken, and enforced by silence. Priyanka Dave — behavioral scientist, dual PhD, and the person responsible for teaching an entire university system how to work with these tools — explains what actually happens inside a company that refuses to say the word out loud.

The guys discuss the direction Mercedes-Benz is taking with their performance EVs, notably the recently announced 2027 AMG CLA45 4Matic+. Goodwood Festival Of Speed is one of the most accessible and inspirational events for car enthusiasts, and allows people to easily see the cars up close and driving quickly up the hill. For Topic Tuesday, the guys discuss a mental cul-de-sac for Tim in TN, who is unhappy because he's rational about cars. Car Debate #1 is for Dave in Seattle, who loves manuals, wagons, and lightweight cars. Can the guys replace half his garage? Car Debate #2 is for Rick in DC, who also loves manual transmissions but needs a good commuter. Car Conclusion #1 is from Elias in CA, who decided to buy a car for what he actually wanted. Car Conclusion #2 is from Aaron in CO, who is excited by moment-in-time cars, and bought possibly the last of an era. Audio-only MP3 is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and 10 other platforms. Look for us on Tuesdays if you'd like to watch us debate, disagree and then go drive again! 00:00 - Intro 2:09 - 2027 Mercedes-AMG CLA45 4Matic EV Announced 19:32 - Cars From 2026 Goodwood FOS - Will They Be Around In 100 Years? 27:56 - Topic Tuesday: The Mental Cul-De-Sac 40:49 - Car Debate #1: My Almost Perfect Garage 1:01:32 - Car Debate #2: The Best Of Everything 1:14:04 - Car Conclusion #1: The Most Important Buying Parameter 1:17:08 - Car Conclusion #2: The Last Of The Last? 1:19:19 - Audience Questions On Social Media Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, and subscribe to our two YouTube channels.

Going analog in business does not mean throwing away the computer or abandoning every digital tool. It means asking a harder question: does the technology you are using still make the business easier, more profitable, or more effective?In this episode of It's The Bottom Line that Matters, Jennifer R. Glass and Patricia Reszetylo examine the growing pile of software subscriptions, browser tabs, online systems, and digital habits that can quietly create more work for small business owners.The conversation looks at where digital systems clearly earn their place, including CRM and customer follow-up, and where an analog approach may create greater clarity. Whiteboards, physical planning systems, phone calls, and face-to-face conversations can still have strategic value when the business outcome supports them.Jennifer and Patricia also explore the human side of going analog. A Zoom meeting may be the most practical option when clients are hundreds of miles away. A local prospect may remember the business owner who showed up with coffee, shook a hand, and had a real conversation.The episode also revisits older business systems such as the physical tickler file and connects them to modern CRM automation. Many digital tools are extensions of processes businesses used long before today's software existed. Understanding the process can make it easier to decide which technology is actually worth keeping.For small business owners feeling overwhelmed by subscriptions, open tabs, and constant connectivity, this episode offers a practical reminder: choose technology based on strategic value. The best business system may be digital, analog, or a deliberate combination of both.Check out our "The Digital Detox & Profit Audit" for ways you can help restore some semblance of sanity in your business.Speaker Bios:Jennifer R.

Portrait photographer Craig Fleming has spent decades navigating the space between film and digital, celebrity commissions and working-class subjects, polish and truth. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, Craig joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about his process, his philosophy, and two ongoing personal projects — Quiet Men and Circus — that are reshaping how he thinks about legacy and the purpose of his work. We get into what it really means to balance film and digital photography, why Craig thinks returning to medium format gave him integrity back as a photographer — and made him better at digital. We talk about his strong feelings on AI and what it's taking from photographers and creatives. Craig also shares what he believes is the single most important element of a great portrait — and it has nothing to do with your camera.

Tonight on Thursday Thrills, we head into the woods for Siren Head, the internet urban legend that turns emergency sirens, storm warnings, distorted broadcasts, and lonely rural roads into pure nightmare fuel. Created by horror artist Trevor Henderson in 2018, Siren Head became a modern folklore icon through TikTok, YouTube shorts, indie horror games, fan stories, and creepypasta-style sightings.This show keeps the tone fun, spooky, and campfire-ready as we explore why a forty-foot siren-headed monster feels so strangely believable, how the legend spread online, why it connects to analog horror and emergency broadcast fears, and why the creature works best when it is half-glimpsed at the edge of a dark field.Is the siren warning you... or calling you closer?

"Those who can't do are good hype men for others." This simple principle serves as the heartbeat for a life dedicated to authentic human depth. In a world optimized for digital efficiency and "frictionless" convenience, the true currency of a meaningful life remains the unscalable power of independent thought, presence, and intentional effort. In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Chris Schembra explores the growing cultural movement of human connection, proactive resilience, and the universal language that unites us. Samantha Wolfson shares insights from her personal journey, including navigating a life-changing career evolution since moving to Amsterdam in 2017, executing intense top-tier tech launches at Wieden+Kennedy, and the long road to paying forward the lessons of grit and character learned from her father, Steven. Together, the conversation dives into how we show up for others, the power of surrounding ourselves with people who challenge us, and how leaning into creative outlets outside the boardroom can fundamentally alter our perspectives. 10 Memorable Quotes: "He is the reason I have become a pit bull in some areas and can be very soft in others because I see that is how he can both engage and react to the people around him." "Never did I think that could actually become such a quintessential part of my career." "I want every woman that's coming to not know each other. Just bring a bottle of wine and I will cook the food." "You don't have to trade a life that looks good on paper for a good life around the dinner table. It's an and, not or." "The moment you stop is when you'll fall into the trap of thinking you can do it all by yourself." "Growth starts at those points of like, 'Ooh, I don't know how I feel about that.'" "Who's at the table is as important as who's not at the table." "There's no value in what's been said. There's only value in what's being unsaid." "Community is the hardest thing to build because there is, for the most part, not crazy financial gain behind it." "Hard work breeds luck, and I definitely live by that." 10 Key Takeaways: The Test of Truth Tellers: Why surrounding yourself with an executive team and community that pressure-tests your ideas is infinitely better than building an inner circle of enablers. Six is the Gate: Understanding the tactical benefit of keeping meetings and gatherings to exactly six women so that everyone has an active voice, safety, and a real seat at the table. The Transition from Analog to Digital: How navigating high-intensity tech rollouts like the Ray-Ban Meta glasses exposed the deep human exhaustion behind the corporate digital push. Dismantling Structural Silos: Breaking away from transactional networking by designing spaces where professionals connect over shared human truths rather than industry metrics. The "Three-Letter Word" Framework: Cultivating deep conversation by refusing to counter someone's story with your own anecdote, choosing instead to simply ask "why?" to uncover what is unsaid. Grit at the Dinner Table: Reclaiming the narrative of hard work by looking to foundational role models, including Steven Wolfson's lessons on listening, character formation, and absolute abundance. The Tyranny of the OR vs. The Genius of the AND: Learning that world-class leadership requires balancing binary traits, integrating logical business goals with emotional human connections. Failing Fast with Guidance: Why moving forward through a community's hard times and "imperfect dinners" under strong internal resolve is the only real vehicle for long-term relational success. The Core Value of Peer Review: Recognizing that even in an automated, AI-driven environment, verified human connection and peer-reviewed credibility remain irreplaceable. Mudita and Pro-Social Gratitude: Shifting away from keeping score to actively finding joy in the achievements of others, which ultimately drives collective organizational momentum. About our Guest: Samantha (Sam) Wolfson is the founder of & the Table, a global dinner platform that brings ambitious women together around a shared meal. The platform operates on a distinct format: six women who have never met, three courses, one host-chosen theme, and a strict rule that everyone shows up completely alone. What began in 2022 as just five open spots at her Amsterdam apartment quickly went viral, drawing more than 500 applications in its very first open round. Today, & the Table has built a robust global presence, empowering more than 75 hosts in over 10 countries, spanning from Nigeria to Spain to Hungary. A Philadelphia native, Sam studied Media, Culture, and Communications at New York University before launching into the music industry, where she spent years on the road producing branded sponsorships for major music festivals across Mexico, Australia, and beyond as an account manager at LiveStyle, Inc. After falling for Amsterdam during a work trip, she relocated there permanently in 2017 and transitioned into advertising. She served as an Account Director at world-class agencies Wieden + Kennedy and TBWANEBOKO, leading global campaigns for heavyweights like Airbnb, Samsung, Ray-Ban, and Adidas. Before scaling & the Table into a full platform, she honed the concept as "Sam's Dinners"—her personal hosting practice designed to meet other women and build deep connections in a new city. Outside of her dinner platform, Sam is also the co-founder of the card game WHAT ARE THE ODDS, and frequently shares her insights as a speaker at events like the Self-Made Summit in the Netherlands. She currently lives in west Amsterdam with her partner and her dog.

Got some new music from some big names, so we’ll start there. After that, it’s a winding path from the tanks to the shelves.

König, Julia www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit

"The best man on the floor is actually a woman." This simple principle serves as the heartbeat for a life dedicated to authentic human depth. In a world optimized for digital efficiency and "frictionless" convenience, the true currency of a meaningful life remains the unscalable power of independent thought, presence, and intentional effort. In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Philip Greer explores the growing cultural movement of human connection, proactive resilience, and the universal language that unites us. Philip shares insights from his personal journey, including navigating a life-changing career evolution since joining the firm in 2005 as a software engineer, building the company's first content management system, and the long road to paying forward the lessons of grit learned from his mother, Sherry. Together, the conversation dives into how we show up for others, the power of surrounding ourselves with people who challenge us, and how leaning into creative outlets outside the boardroom can fundamentally alter our perspectives. 10 Memorable Quotes: "There was no position that was beneath her, but also no position was the ceiling." "Sometimes they say no because systems are built that way, but that doesn't mean the answer is no." "The bookkeeping of benefits is simple. It's all an expenditure. We give for the sake of giving. We do not keep score." "I have so much belief that if we keep saying the bad ones, the good ones will come to the top." "The more you congratulate others, the more they'll end up congratulating you." "The best man is a woman, and it's her right there." "Limitations are what created limitless belief." "I want to be able to solve problems that people say can't be solved." "We must step out of the Tyranny of the or and step into the genius of the and." "Just go out there and congratulate some people today." 10 Key Takeaways: The Test of Truth Tellers: Why surrounding yourself with an executive team and community that pressure-tests your ideas is infinitely better than building an inner circle of enablers. Eight is the Gate: Understanding the tactical benefit of keeping meetings and task forces to eight people or less so that everyone has an active voice and a seat at the table. The Transition from Analog to Digital: How leveraging a software engineering background allowed Philip to modernize a global data platform away from fax machines and phone calls. Dismantling Structural Silos: The strict rule that task forces must pull from multiple departments—such as research, engineering, sales, and finance—to achieve true cross-pollination. The "Tuesday Talks" Framework: Cultivating a transparent culture through monthly, small-group touchpoints that openly address what's working, what's failing, and high-level strategy. Grit on the Factory Floor: Reclaiming the narrative of hard work by looking to foundational role models, including Philip's mother breaking barriers in military transit and heavy manufacturing. The Tyranny of the OR vs. The Genius of the AND: Learning that world-class leadership requires balancing binary traits, integrating logical business goals with emotional human connections. Failing Fast with Guidance: Why moving forward and making quick mistakes under strong mentorship is a better vehicle for success than remaining frozen by the fear of limits. The Core Value of Peer Review: Recognizing that even in an automated, AI-driven environment, verified human connection and peer-reviewed credibility remain irreplaceable. Mudita and Pro-Social Gratitude: Shifting away from keeping score to actively finding joy in the achievements of others, which ultimately drives collective organizational momentum.

This week we're proud to welcome Bamford London to the Collective line card. George Bamford is the OG of modern collaborative watchmaking, but it's his own designs — the D300 Ceramic Diver, the Monopushers, the GMTs — that pulled us in: pieces that read as instantly recognizable without ever aping the usual suspects, built from forged carbon, ceramic, and titanium, at a genuinely accessible price. They also slot perfectly into the decade-plus renaissance in English design and watchmaking. Then we get into the real subject of the episode, which is almost the opposite of Bamford's forward-looking material science: the rise of analog culture, and why it's quietly driving one of the strongest stretches the US watch market has ever seen. US watch sales jumped nearly 30% in the first five months of 2026 — and that's sell-through reported by retailers, not sell-in. We felt it in our own business, posting our biggest sales month ever before June was even over. But the more interesting question is why, and we make the case that this moment is fundamentally different from the COVID boom. That run was narrow and speculative: a handful of steel sports references, mania, watches as assets to flip. What's happening now is broad-based and rooted in the intrinsics — design, handwork, the human connection between the person who cut the dial and the object on your wrist. The three segments leading the way tell the story: neo-vintage and vintage, independent brands, and the $50,000-and-up tier where handcraft lives. We zoom out from there, because watches are riding a much bigger wave. Vinyl now outsells CDs, with most of Gen Z owning records — and plenty of buyers who don't even own a turntable, which tells you the object itself is the point. Film cameras are back in production, analog synths are having a moment, and a real backlash is building against a digital licensing economy where you rent your media instead of owning it. We get into what that physical, patient, you-actually-own-it impulse means for collecting, why automating the hunt drains the fun out of it, and where neo-vintage reissues might go in 2026 and 2027. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes.

What does it actually mean to take a restful vacation when our phones come with us everywhere? In this episode of Merging Into Life, Sabrina sits down with Frank from StationeryAt4 to talk about analog living, digital burnout and how to plan a vacation that helps you truly disconnect. From journaling and vinyl records to phone boundaries, quiet mornings, and the myth that rest happens instantly, Frank shares how slower, more intentional routines can help us feel more present at home and away.

Overwhelmed to Organized: simplyconvivial.com/overwhelmProductivity apps promise to organize your life — but for moms, they often become just another distraction. In this video, I share the analog productivity method that changed how I manage my home: a single index card.If you've ever opened your phone to check your to-do list and gotten sucked into 20 minutes of scrolling, this is for you. I've tried the apps, the color-coded planners, the elaborate weekly spreads — and I keep coming back to one embarrassingly simple tool: a daily index card (or sometimes just a Post-it note).Here's why analog beats digital for daily home management: writing things down by hand creates friction — and that friction is actually the point. It forces you to pause, think, and ask "Does this really matter? What's going to make the biggest difference today?" The small size of an index card reminds you that your day is a limited container. You can't do everything, so you have to choose what matters most.This isn't about building the perfect weekly spread. It's about daily reps — choosing your priorities, following through, and starting fresh every single day. And when the day goes sideways (because with kids, it will), you just toss the card and make a new one. Low stakes. High adaptability.✨ What you'll learn:• Why digital productivity tools are attention vacuums that work against moms• How the "friction" of writing by hand makes you a better decision-maker• Why a small format (index card or Post-it) forces realistic daily planning• How daily reps beat elaborate weekly spreads for home management• Why analog planning keeps your attention on your family — not your phone

When they go deep, we go deeper.     We have been thinking about Miles Davis in anticipation of his centennial (May 26).  How about we explore a dark corner of his vast touring history, his so-called "Lost Quintet"?  We have so many questions about it, but who to ask?  How about the guy who literally wrote the book on the subject?     On this week's Deep Focus, host Mitch Goldman welcomes musician/professor/author Michael E. Veal.  His book, Living Space: John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Free Jazz, from Analog to Digital, opens a door to Miles' confounding and underdocumented 1969 group, whose members all became hugely influential bandleaders in their own right.  If only the WKCR archives were overflowing with rare, live recordings of this group.  Wait, did anyone check that last shelf on the left?     Tune in this Monday (5/25) from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org.     Or join us when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  It will join over 450 promo-free episodes.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  It's ad-free, all free, sponsor-free, totally non-commercial.  We won't even ask for your contact info.   Find out more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/ or join us on Instagram @deep_focus_podcast.   Photo credit: Miles Davis 1970 outside his home, West 77th St., NYC #WKCR #DeepFocus #MichaelEVeal #MilesDavis #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #JazzInterview #MitchGoldman #LostQuintet #WayneShorter #ChickCorea #DaveHolland #JackDeJohnette
