He discusses the importance of developing one's unique voice rather than following industry trends, the value of good mentorship, and his personal journey of reconnecting with his Japanese heritage. From his thoughts on gatekeeping as quality control to exploring how artists can stay true to themselves while navigating the music industry, Mark offers a refreshingly honest perspective on what it means to be an artist in today's landscape.About Mark de Clive-LoweMark de Clive-Lowe, often known as MDCL, is a half-Japanese, half-New Zealander artist who has masterfully bridged the worlds of jazz and electronic music for over two decades. Known for his innovative approach to merging acoustic instrumentation with electronic production and live sampling, he's been an influential figure in the broken beat scene and has collaborated with numerous respected artists across the jazz and electronic spectrum. Recently relocating to Japan, Mark has been exploring his cultural heritage through his music, creating deeply personal projects that showcase his unique musical voice.Think of that one producer you know who needs to hear this and share it with them.Episode HighlightsThroughout the episode we discuss:* How to develop good taste in music and recognize quality beyond conventional metrics* The balance between technical skill and artistic expression* The importance of artistic authenticity and having the confidence to defy industry expectations* How gatekeeping can serve as valuable quality control in an era of unlimited access* The patience required for artistic development and why a musical career is "a marathon, not a sprint"* Mark's journey of reconnecting with his Japanese heritage and how it transformed his music* The distinction between creating for industry success versus cultural contribution* The importance of finding one's unique voice and artistic communityThree Meaningful Takeaways* Artistic Authenticity Matters: Having the courage to create without bending to industry trends or metrics allows artists to develop their unique voice and make genuine contributions to culture.* Finding Your Voice Is Transformative: When Mark began incorporating his Japanese heritage into his music, he experienced a profound shift where he felt "this is me" for the first time – demonstrating how personal authenticity can elevate artistic expression.* Quality Over Virality: True artistic development requires patience, self-awareness, and a focus on meaningful creation rather than chasing viral success or immediate recognition.Episode Chapters00:00 Introduction to Producerhead and Mark de Clive-Lowe 01:15 The Complexity of Simplicity in Music 03:15 Developing Good Taste in Music 06:11 The Role of Gatekeepers in the Music Industry 08:46 Patience and the Journey of Musicians 11:12 Self-Awareness and Knowing When You're Ready 19:25 Return to Roots: Exploring Identity and Ancestry 25:29 The Impact of Vulnerability in Artistic Expression 30:29 Balancing Technical Skill and Artistic ExpressionReferences from the InterviewAlbums:* "The Awakening" by Ahmad JamalArtists:* Herbie Hancock* Miles Davis* Björk* Marvin Gaye* David Bowie* Chick CoreaWhat was your favorite part of this conversation?

We also dive into 1923's Helen Mirren believing she's related to Harrison Ford, and our feelings watching them share the screen the first time in The Mosquito Coast. Plus, the Oscar nominated movies Dr. Cohen chose to watch on his journey to Tampa for a surgical conference. And, how medical TV shows never come out alone...The Pitt and Pulse are now streaming.

Episode 2630: Vinnie Tortorich speaks to Dr. Anthony Jay and they discuss items from plastics to genetics, misrepresentation in the media, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/04/from-plastics-to-genetics-dr-anthony-jay-episode-2630 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  From Plastics to Genetics Dr. Anthony Jay was first on Fitness Confidential back in 2017. (2:00) His book can be purchased in Vinnie's Book Club: Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics Are Making You Fat, Sick, and Infertile (Chagrin and Tonic Series)   He is a researcher and geneticist and the information he wrote in the book is finally being discussed on a larger scale. BPAs don't always mean less harmful; BPS, phthalates, and other chemicals are substituted and can still be an issue. (5:30) The United States allows materials in products and food that are banned in Europe. (8:00) Pharmaceutical companies don't have to release studies, and what they do release is often cherry-picked data presented to the media. Burning carbs for energy means autophagy is not happening. (18:00) Health and genetics play a part in an individual's response to a virus. (23:30) Dr. Jay is a genetic researcher and consultant who helps people pinpoint possible genetic origins of health issues and helps them make changes based on data. They discuss the progression of COVID-19 and the mandates that came along with it. (31:00) The media and pharmaceutical corporations often use fear-mongering tactics and mishandle information. (40:00) Hope and Possibilities Anthony is hopeful that RFK, Jr. will make improvements in the health system, like getting crap out of infant formula. (47:15) What is Dr. Jay's opinion on raw milk? (51:30) Some people are highly sensitive to dairy and generally need to stay away from all dairy; however, others can have raw dairy and not have an issue. Between raw and pasteurized, Anthony personally prefers raw milk and he sources it from a local dairy that he trusts. Conventional milk can have emulsifiers in it to keep it from separating, but emulsifiers are horrible for your health. Emulsifiers are tasteless detergents that weaken your gut lining. (57:30) 23andMe and DNA testing. (1:00:00) Dr Jay is a genetic consultant who can help you see what health needs you may have. (1:00:00) If you decide to use the services that analyze your DNA, you can often opt out of sharing your information. Dr. Jay can give you health insights consultation based on your genetic data. You can do so by contacting him through his website. If you have used a service like 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage, or SelfDecode, and have access to your raw data file, he will be able to help.

When Anne Mitchell discovered a tattered family Bible with a handwritten account of an ancestor eagerly joining the Confederate Army in 1861 it changed how she understood her family history. Now, it has also changed how millions might discover their own histories. Anne shares the story of her ancestor John Calvin Gillespie—from excited Confederate soldier to "galvanized Yankee" to a man whose tragic end made headlines across America. Her deep dive into her family's Civil War connections (with ten direct ancestors who fought in the conflict!) ultimately inspired her work as a product manager at Ancestry® developing the new Networks feature. In our conversation we explore how confronting complicated truths about our ancestors can lead to personal transformation and why understanding past generations might be a key to understanding ourselves today.〰️

In this episode of the Creative Genius podcast, I interview Rebe Huntman about her debut memoir, "My Mother in Havana, a memoir of magic and miracle." Rebe shares her personal story of losing her mother at a young age and the subsequent decades of feeling disconnected from her memory. Driven by a deep longing and intuition, Rebe embarked on a 30-day DIY pilgrimage to Cuba to seek a different perspective on grief and connection. The conversation delves into how Rebe's background as a Latin dancer led her to discover the spiritual roots of Cuban dances and the traditions of honoring the deceased.  Rebe recounts her experiences immersing herself in rituals dedicated to the goddess Oshun, visiting the sanctuary of Cuba's patron saint, and meeting with a spiritist who she hoped would connect her with her mother.Rebe and I discuss the importance of intuition and following one's unique path, even when it doesn't seem logical. We also explore the disconnect in Western culture from ancestral connections, magic, and meaningful rituals, contrasting it with the Cuban traditions of keeping the dead close.The conversation touches on the challenges of staying creative and connected to one's inner voice in the face of overwhelming global issues and personal fears. Rebe shares her belief in creativity as a portal and emphasizes the importance of honouring inner longings and choosing to champion humanity. She also shares her personal rituals for grounding and connecting with her intuition and ancestors, offering practical advice for listeners seeking to do the same. Ultimately, Rebe's story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, the wisdom of intuition, and the potential for magic and miracle in our lives, even in the darkest of times.

We delve into the implications of this bankruptcy, exploring the benefits and the risks of entrusting your most personal data to these companies. The L.A.

If you're still thinking about the significance of home or getting a DNA test to know where your people are from, this episode is for YOU. Dr. Gina Paige, co-founder of African Ancestry Inc., joined the class to discuss the company's pioneering efforts to ensure African descendants throughout the diaspora are empowered with information about the communities we come from and can contribute to, what distinguishes them from other companies that profit from selling our genetic information while also lacking the range to provide us with meaningful information in the exchange, and the power we can draw from having meaningful information about who we are and where we draw strength from.African Ancestry is offering a 10% discount on its DNA testing kits as a gift to the class.

Christine is an adoptee born in January of 1972, at the tail end of the baby scoop era. She was adopted in March of that year through Catholic Family Charities. Her mother had bought a book that explained how a family adopts a child in a very simplistic way. In fact, until the age of seven, she thought that all children were adopted. It wasn't until a friend's mother got pregnant that she realized there was another way to have a baby. Her mother explained to her that she was special—that she was chosen.Growing up, the subject of her adoption was not spoken of in her household. She had been told at a young age that she was her parents' child and that they would not discuss the matter of her adoption. She rarely told anyone about it, not even her closest friends. Christine never searched for her birth family. She knew it would make her parents unhappy and was scared about what she might find out. As they got older, her children's curiosity about their actual ethnicity led her to Ancestry DNA. Two years later, after receiving the results, Christine received an email through Ancestry. It stated, “I believe that you are my niece. That would be so wonderful.”The next few months were a process of meeting her birth mother, Pat, two half-brothers, and her maternal birth family. She found out that Pat was 16 when she got pregnant. She had been sent to a home for unwed mothers and gave birth to Christine two weeks after her 17th birthday. Pat was supposed to relinquish her parental rights after Christine's birth but refused to do so. Christine was placed in foster care for two months until Pat realized it was a losing battle and signed the relinquishment papers. For years, Pat slept with Christine's picture under her pillow.Christine and Pat had the opportunity to meet and get to know one another. They were developing a relationship when Pat succumbed to cancer, only 18 months after their reunion. Christine remains in contact with her brothers, aunts, uncles, and cousins.Today, Christine lives in Connecticut with her partner, Rob. Between them, they are fortunate to share four boys and a girl. She holds a Doctorate of Nursing Practice and works as a full-time Professor of Nursing.The Adoptee's Journey: From Loss and Trauma to Healing and Empowerment by Cameron Lee SmallThank you to our Patreons!

Although Sylwia Nazzal dreamt of one day launching her own brand, her first goal after graduating from Parsons Paris in 2023 was to gain in-house experience. However, no one would hire the Palestinian Jordanian, Arab designer, citing her as talented but too political. When they said no, she said yes. Sylwia moved home to Jordan and started Nazzal Studio, debuting her first hit-collection ‘What Should Have Been Home’, a dozen-piece ode to ancestors, honoring of resistance, and urge to reflect on the future. From hijab hoodies to camel shaped shoes, hear how Sylwia creates these heirlooms at first stitch and produces profound pieces placed in closets and museums alike.Like and subscribe to join hosts Lola Catero and Frankie Ikwuazom as they meet the founders evolving the style-status-quo.

The co-authors of "Letters in Black and White" found common ground in their frustration with America's polarized racial discourse. Our conversation explored provocative ideas like "Blackness as oppression"—a concept that shook Wink's foundational beliefs about identity—and Jen's jarring return to an America where diversity training often stifled genuine dialogue.We challenged simplistic narratives of "privilege," examined the controversial topic of reparations (with Wink offering a compelling case for Black agency over victimhood), and questioned how society's racial scripts influence our thinking. Throughout our discussion, we highlighted the power of curiosity and personal storytelling to bridge seemingly insurmountable divides—inviting listeners to reconsider their own perspectives on race and identity in America.Winkfield Twyman and Jennifer Richmond are co-authors of Letters in Black and White: A New Correspondence on Race in America.A former law professor and current author, Winkfield (Wink) Franklin Twyman, Jr. is a southern writer from a small-town suburb outside of Richmond, Virginia.

A graduate of the University of Virginia and Harvard Law School, Wink has penned articles and essays in the South Carolina Law Review, the Virginia Tax Review, the National Black Law Journal, the St. Croix Review, the Pennsylvania Law Review, the Intellectual Conservative, The Civil War in Pennsylvania: The African American Experience, the Richmond Times Dispatch, the Chicago Tribune, and the New York Post. Wink identifies as an American Native to Virginia.

Hi, friends! We've been working hard this month getting back into the swing of things. We spent four days vending at various markets this month and March and April are slated to be busy as well. We also had the official grand opening of our farm store in Hotchkiss and it's been so amazing to connect with people in person when they come in to browse our teas and other herbal products!  We're getting ready to jump on our next project, which is getting the greenhouse built next month! We're also getting some seeds going indoors in the meantime, and then they'll move out to the greenhouse which we hope to have done by mid-April at the latest. This will let us get a HUGE jump on the growing season, as we can't really put many plants outside until the end of May.  And as we wait for spring to arrive, I'm having fun editing some of the great interviews I've had time to record these last couple months, including today's wonderful convo with Lisa Fazio. Lisa is an Irish/Italian American folklore witch, herbalist, and astrologer, as well as the mother of 4 children and Nonna to 2 grandchildren.  Her principal training is in Traditional Western Herbalism, Western Astrology, and the folk ways of her Italian immigrant family. The primary focus of her work is ancestral revival and remembrance within the Italian diaspora as well as with anyone who longs for ancestral connection. She has an academic background in Psychology and Ethnobotany as well as years of study and practice in the traditions of Trika Shaivism and Plant Spirit Medicine. She is also a tracker, a wilderness first responder and has spent 20 years working as a clinical and community herbalist.  I'm so honored to have gotten to chat with Lisa about her book, Della Medicina: The Tradition of Italian-American Folk Healing. We had such a wonderful conversation and one thing I really want to emphasize is that you don't need to be of Italian heritage to get a ton of value out of Lisa's work! So much of what she shares crosses different cultures and backgrounds and I hope this will inspire you to dive into your own ancestry as well. Grab your own copy of Della Medicina! Connect with Jill: Instagram * Substack * Website ~*~*~*~*~*~ Our farm shop is full of goodies for you! We have two new offerings in the shop -- our Hot Italian Seasoning, and our Tummy Mender Tea. Our seasonal Lymph Love vinegar is also back in stock to guide us smoothly out of winter and into early spring over the next few months. Your support helps us to keep growing, literally and figuratively

Mary welcomes back Pastor, Author and Teacher David Bowen for a look at technology 2025. Just when we think we are keeping up we should know by now we most definitely are not. What is Real Time Bidding? What is 6G? For the lot of us, the "G" series merely represents what we can get in the way of speed so our texts go where they need to go, and even better, in real time and step on it please! How fast do humans need to go? Exponentially, apparently. We will also look at Open AI and the Trojan Horse that it is. We also look at the Doomsday Clock, and what triggers the existential angst of scientists. Is it a shiny new weapon? A Trump administration? Well, maybe - but technology is the one thing that seems to inch us closer to the Apocalypse and that toothpaste is not going back into the tube.     Topics covered today: 6G: A Prophetic Perspective – Why the next-gen wireless tech matters. From 1G to 6G – The evolution of mobile networks and their implications. Operation Mockingbird – Media manipulation and the origins of “fake news.” Trump, USAID, and Media Control – Who funds the news? AI Integration & Privacy Loss – How 6G enables global surveillance. Digital Twins & Extended Reality – The future of human replication. ABBA's Digital Concert – Entertainment deception at its finest. The Coming AI Church? – How tech will redefine spiritual experiences. 6G & The Mark of the Beast – Is the infrastructure already in place? Samsung's 6G Vision – Seven features that will change everything. UN's IntelliPhones Initiative – Global connectivity or total control? Biometrics & Mandatory IDs – The march toward digital identity enforcement. Real-Time Bidding & Data Harvesting – How apps and ads track you. Blackstone, Ancestry & DNA Tracking – Who owns your genetic data? Login.gov & Biometric Mandates – The shift toward government-controlled access. AI Chatbots & Deepfake Deception – Can you trust what you see and hear? Drone Warfare & AI-Powered Battles – The future of World War III. The Fourth Industrial Revolution – Klaus Schwab's vision in action. The Doomsday Clock & Prophecy – Secular scientists acknowledge the end is near. Albert Einstein's Warning – What World War IV will look like. Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

We begin this episode of DXP by discussing Taylor Sheridan, and his shows Yellowstone and Land Man in particular. Christian shares what he has learned from Ancestry.com, and then gives us an Oscar update. We talk about the book Blind Spots, and then hear from a caller asking for clarity on our segment about Jon Stewart and the so-called fascism that so many are worried about.

Episode 213: Challenging Medical Guidelines on Misattributed PaternityIn this special episode, host Richard Wenzel leads a compelling discussion with fellow NPEs Gina Daniel, Jodi Girard, Lily Wood, and Eve Sturges. Together, they dive into their recent article, Misattributed Paternity Discovery: A Critique of Medical Organizations' Recommendations, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics. The conversation explores the implications of current medical guidelines, personal experiences, and the broader impact of misattributed paternity discoveries.Resources mentioned:NPE GuideWho Even Am I Anymore?

From criminal cases to designer babies, DNA is reshaping humanity's future. Michael Regilio unravels this double helix of discovery on Skeptical Sunday! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: DNA is simultaneously microscopic and massive in scale — while coiled up tightly in each cell's nucleus, if you unraveled all the DNA in a single human body and laid it end-to-end, it would stretch to the sun not once, but 600 times! This mind-bending fact perfectly illustrates how we're all walking around with an astronomical amount of genetic information packed into our cells. The ethical implications of DNA databases are more complex than a double helix — even if you never take a genetic test yourself, your relatives' DNA decisions can expose your genetic information. It's like playing genetic poker where someone else can accidentally show your hand. This raises serious concerns about privacy, insurance discrimination, and how genetic information could be weaponized by bad actors. CRISPR technology has opened Pandora's genetic toolbox — while it offers incredible potential for treating diseases like sickle cell anemia, it also enables the possibility of "designer babies" and genetic enhancements that could create new forms of social inequality. We're essentially writing code for humans now, but without a clear user manual for the consequences. DNA evidence has revolutionized criminal justice — but it took decades to establish proper standards and protocols. From its first use in catching Colin Pitchfork (whose villainous name seems almost too on-the-nose) to modern genetic genealogy solving cold cases, DNA has become the ultimate witness that never forgets and never lies. Understanding and working with DNA is becoming increasingly accessible and beneficial — from personalized medicine to ancestry exploration to crop improvements, we all have opportunities to engage with and benefit from DNA science. By staying informed about genetic advances while thoughtfully considering their implications, we can help shape a future where this powerful technology serves humanity's best interests rather than our darker impulses.
