On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with Natalia Zacharin, founder of Zacharin Consulting, a multimillion dollar accounting firm she built from scratch starting at age 50 with no accounting degree, no clients, and no real plan. What she had was a need, a willingness to figure it out, and enough stubbornness to keep going when most people would have quit. Natalia's story doesn't start with a passion or a calling. It starts with a divorce in 2012, a stretch of poverty, years of grinding through jobs that were slowly disappearing, and a conversation in a cafe in Annapolis, Maryland where someone she was dating said, almost offhandedly, why don't you just start your own business? She thought he was joking. He wasn't. She took a short course on starting a business, followed the steps, got her first client, and then went to work figuring out how to actually do bookkeeping. That's the whole origin story. No dramatic leap of faith, just a fork in the road and a decision to go left. What followed was anything but easy. She worked full time while learning a brand new skill set from YouTube videos and books. Her first year in business she made $38,000 in gross sales. She spent the first three years fighting imposter syndrome almost weekly, asking herself why she was doing something she never wanted to do in the first place. The answer was always the same: it was working, clients were coming, and she had nothing to fall back on. So she kept going. Ty and Natalia get into the three beliefs she had to break to get where she is today. The first was the negative self-talk that told her she was too old to start over. Every time that voice showed up, she learned to stop it in its tracks and ask whether it was actually being helpful. The second was the envy she felt scrolling through social media watching other people live the life she wanted. She flipped that story and started telling herself she already had that life, even when she didn't. Before long, she started actually having it. The third was the deepest one: growing up as a first-generation American with the belief that a woman's security came from a husband. She had no safety net, no partner to lean on, and no fallback. In hindsight, she says that was exactly what she needed, because it left her no option but to keep moving forward. One of the most honest moments in this conversation is when Natalia talks about the 11 months she spent reaching out to people every single day and hearing no over and over again. She describes it as feeling like she was sinking further into an abyss with no sign of when things would turn around. She kept going anyway. That's the whole answer. She kept going. They also get into how she built the business beyond bookkeeping. She did all the sales calls herself for years, and she kept hearing the same thing from business owners: I don't understand what these numbers mean. That pattern became fractional CFO services, which is now the core of what Zacharin Consulting does. She helps business owners stop looking at where they are and start seeing where they're headed, projecting six to twelve months out so they can make decisions before problems become crises. The tax and payroll services came later, both born out of frustration with industry gaps she kept watching hurt her clients. Natalia's non-negotiables are worth noting: exercise with a personal trainer because she knows she won't show up for herself alone, sleep after years of running on fumes, hobbies and time with her kid on weekends, and getting her hair done, which is blocked on her calendar and visible to her entire team. She's not apologetic about any of it. You can't lead sixteen people if you're running on empty. Her definition of success has shifted completely. It started as survival. Then it became about the quality of service she was delivering. Now it's about her team having real careers and real opportunities, her clients getting everything they deserve, and giving back to causes she cares about. The business is no longer just about her, and she's clear that's exactly how it should be. Her closing message is simple: it's harder than you think it's going to be, and it's worth it. Find a room where you're the smallest business in it. And leave your ego at the door, because the goal is to keep hiring people who are better than you.

It was a brutal week for Annapolis Blues FC. Hosts Sam Huston and women's correspondent Bella break down back-to-back road losses: a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat at Loudon United where Ben Madore's extra-time equalizer wasn't enough to save the Blues from a late collapse, followed by a frustrating 1-0 loss at Christos FC where the offense couldn't find the net despite a livelier second-half push. Hear from Matt Lenert and Ale Carrillo in player spotlight segments, plus Sam's post-match conversation with coach Colin Herriot after the Loudon heartbreaker. Then Bella takes over for the Women's Club segment — breaking down the 3-3-1 squad sitting in 3rd place in the Chesapeake League, previewing the final stretch of all-home matches, and weighing in on the playoff push against a red-hot VDA squad.

What if the experience you think makes you an outsider in the design industry is actually your greatest advantage? In this episode of Designed for the Creative Mind, Michelle Lynne sits down with interior designer Katie Rainey to discuss her journey from Doctor of Physical Therapy to owner of a thriving interior design firm specializing in waterfront and lifestyle-driven homes. Katies design philosophy is that beauty and function are necessities, not luxuries. With a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and a background in human movement, she crafts spaces that are both beautiful and intuitively designed for real life. She partners with busy families and professionals seeking solace in nature - whether by the water in Annapolis or in the mountains of New Hampshire - guiding them through the intricacies of a renovation or a new build. With deep construction knowledge, she collaborates closely with builders and architects to ensure seamless execution from concept to completion. As part of a military family, Katie has lived across the U.S. and in Europe. She draws inspiration for her designs from this global design perspective, having lived in diverse landscapes. Katie shares how she initially hid her medical background, believing it had little relevance to design, only to discover that her expertise in movement, ergonomics, and human behavior became one of her strongest differentiators. From designing custom solutions that improve clients' daily lives to building a business rooted in confidence, process, and professionalism, Katie offers valuable lessons for designers at every stage of business. The conversation also explores networking, pricing, client communication, boundaries, and the mindset shifts that helped Katie transition from treating design as a passion to running it as a profitable business. Whether you're transitioning from another career, struggling to communicate your value, or looking for encouragement to own your unique story, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and inspiration. In This Episode, We Discuss: Katie's transition from physical therapy to interior design Why your previous career can become your biggest business advantage Using ergonomics and human movement to create more functional homes How Katie found her unique positioning in the design industry The mindset shift from hobbyist to business owner Learning to separate emotion from sales conversations The "Pass the Salt" approach to discussing money with clients Why clear processes create better client experiences Educating clients through deliverables and expectations The importance of boundaries and scope management Networking strategies that helped Katie build a business in a brand-new market How confidence and consistency lead to stronger business growth Balancing motherhood, business ownership, and personal fulfillment Key Takeaways Your Past Experience Is Part of Your Expertise Katie spent years downplaying her background as a physical therapist before realizing it gave her a unique perspective that directly benefits her clients. The skills, knowledge, and experiences from previous careers often become the very thing that sets designers apart. Design Is More Than Making Things Beautiful A successful design must function for the people who live in it. Katie's understanding of ergonomics and movement helps her create spaces that support her clients' lifestyles while remaining beautiful. Confidence Comes from Process One of Katie's biggest business breakthroughs came from developing a clear process and communicating it effectively. When clients understand what to expect, they feel more confident moving forward. Networking Doesn't Have to Be Complicated From introducing herself to architects to striking up conversations at the gym and ice rink, Katie demonstrates that meaningful business relationships often start with a simple conversation. Business Growth Requires Personal Growth Success isn't just about improving your design skills. It's about developing confidence, setting boundaries, understanding your value, and learning how to lead clients through decisions. Memorable Quotes "Own your background. Whatever you did before design, there's something there that makes you a better designer." "If it looks beautiful but doesn't function for you, what's the point?" "You're not trying to convince clients to hire you. You're guiding them as the expert." "We are a for-profit company, not a non-profit." "We're most memorable in person, not behind our computer." "Whoever is going to hire me isn't going to hire you because I'm not you and you're not me."

On the Morning News Express, Bob Miller was joined by Mason Carter, Frederick County Council Member for District 5, for a discussion on the issues shaping the county's future. While data centers continue to dominate much of the public conversation, Bob pressed Carter on what he believes is the single biggest issue facing Frederick County. Carter didn't hesitate, pointing to Route 15 and the need to widen the heavily congested corridor. He agreed that many state leaders in Annapolis don't experience the daily traffic frustrations that local residents do, making it difficult for them to fully understand the urgency of the problem. The conversation also touched on the ongoing debate surrounding data centers, with Carter sharing his perspective on the opportunities and concerns tied to future development in the county.
Can you believe it? We're halfway through the Ivy season!How's this for a streak: it's the second straight week of a 1-0 loss followed up by an emphatic multi-goal win. Kate and Allan take a look back at the last week of Ivy action, from the narrow 1-0 loss away at Virginia Beach United to the exciting 3-1 win against Annapolis on Pride Night. We aren't waiting long for rematches - can the Ivy break the matchweek streak and pick up two more wins against Annapolis and VBU this week away and home?
In the final episode of The Briefing Room energy series, host Dom Butchko turns the conversation to Annapolis and the broader policy choices shaping Maryland's energy future. Joined by Delegate David Fraser-Hidalgo, Chair of the House Energy Subcommittee, the episode looks at how rising costs, reliability concerns, new generation needs, grid pressures, and local land-use questions are driving the next phase of state energy policy. The conversation explores what policymakers are trying to solve, what tools are available, how counties fit into the discussion, and what Marylanders should watch as the state moves from major legislative action toward implementation.
Naptown Blues Fancast covers the full swing of emotions that is USL2 football. Wednesday brought East Coast semifinalists Lionsbridge to NMCMS, and the result — a 2-0 defeat — was hard to argue with. The Blues controlled possession and put up 6 shots, but none of them truly tested the keeper, and a quickly taken short corner early in the second half effectively ended the contest. Sam and Hiram don't sugarcoat it. We also get to know a couple of new faces: Brazilian newcomer Enzo DeAlmedia and substitute Ollie Snowden, one of the few bright spots on the night. Saturday was a different story entirely. PFA came to town and the Blues were ready — scoring inside three minutes through Rich Monath, surviving a lightning delay, and then absolutely running riot for a 7-0 final. Penalty goal from captain Tyler Gabara. A cheeky chip from Roshawn Panton. Two rockets from substitute Caleb Pritchett. And a hat trick to close it out for Rich Monath. Crabtown Blues showed up loud for a wings-and-hair-metal tailgate and never let up. Post-match audio from Gabara, Pritchett, and Monath included. Sam also previews the playoff picture and the road ahead — Wednesday at Loudon, then Christos the following Monday.

Most people pick a lane. Jesse Sieff built a whole intersection.He's a Pittsburgh-raised classical percussionist who taught himself piano at age six, trained for the 2008 Beijing Olympics in gymnastics, earned a civil engineering degree, and spent five years studying music at Indiana University of Pennsylvania before driving down to Washington, DC, to audition for the United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps — "The Commandant's Own." He won the spot with a composition called Chopstakovich, which is currently the #1 best-selling snare solo in the world with over 700,000 YouTube views.Four years active duty and two reserve years later, Jesse founded Sieff Studios in Annapolis, Maryland — a Veteran-owned media production firm built around a single question: "Who is the most important person in your ecosystem, and how do you need them to feel?"In this conversation recorded live at Sieff Studios, Bart and Jesse dig into the non-linear path (engineering → music → Marines → entrepreneurship), the difference between drive as a push and drive as a pull, what 87 miles to Mount Everest Base Camp does to your relationship with control, the science of vibration and the Schumann frequency, and Jesse's philosophy for high-performers everywhere: the playful pursuit of perfection.You'll also hear Bart's powerful Invisible Backpack exercise for releasing guilt about distant family, and Jesse's vision for using drum circles to rewire audience attention at keynote events.If you've ever made a radical career pivot, struggled with perfectionism, or felt like you were watching life from the audience instead of being on stage, this one's for you.CHAPTERS:00:30 Welcome to the Studio: Introducing Jesse Sieff of Sieff Studios02:25 What Most People Don't Do: The Posture of a Student04:45 Pittsburgh Roots: How Music Found Jesse First08:52 Hearing the World Differently: How Musicians Perceive Sound11:37 "Chopstakovich": The World's #1 Snare Solo and a YouTube Phenomenon14:06 From Drum Corps to the Marines: Auditioning for The Commandant's Own18:34 Olympic Gymnastics Training and the Physical Test of Boot Camp20:00 Ambassadors in Uniform: Representing the Marines Around the World21:44 What Really Drives a Polymath: Pull vs. Push and the Growth Mindset25:47 87 Miles to Everest Base Camp: Fear, Altitude, and Transformation31:40 The Invisible Backpack: Letting Go of Guilt and Doing Your Best37:56 The Playful Pursuit of Perfection: A Philosophy for High Achievers42:43 What Is Sieff Studios?

In this episode of the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast, hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman welcome back a familiar face, Charlie Kirchofer. After making waves in Episode 133 by chronicling his journey of purchasing a sailboat in Annapolis and bringing it home to Boston with the help of a professional captain, Charlie returns to share the honest, unvarnished reality of his first full season as a boat owner.While social media is often filled with idyllic photos of sunrises and calm seas, Charlie opens up about a topic rarely discussed at the local yacht club: sailing anxiety. For those who didn't grow up on the water, the transition to being the "captain" responsible for both a vessel and its crew can be overwhelming.Charlie discusses the internal pressure to appear like a "real sailor"—trimming, reefing, and pushing offshore—while grappling with the very human urge to stay safely on land. He shares his personal strategies for distinguishing between actual mechanical or weather threats and purely mental hurdles.The Responsibility Shift: The hosts and Charlie discuss the difference between being a guest on someone else's boat and being the person in charge, which often leads to "anchor anxiety" and sleepless nights.Conservative Starts: Why Charlie chose to begin his season in the calm conditions of June rather than the gusty winds of May, and how starting with two reefs in the main sail helped build his confidence.Overcoming the Learning Curve: The transition from a professional delivery trip to that first moment of realizing, "It's just me now."Sailing Strategy: How to handle the conflicting feelings of boredom in light winds versus the adrenaline of sudden gusts.Whether you are a seasoned cruiser or a new owner looking for sailing tips, this episode provides a relatable look at the mental health aspects of maritime life. Charlie's honesty serves as a guide for anyone who has ever felt "too anxious" to leave the dock, proving that even with fear, you can still find the "cool stuff" and "gorgeous sunrises" that make cruising worthwhile.Enjoyed the episode?

You'll hear directly from the players and coach this week post-match audio from the pitch, straight from the people wearing the badge. Then Sam and Hiram dig into the first two matches of the season and what they're telling us about this Blues squad. Match two at home ended 2-0 VBU — a result that didn't reflect the chances created or the effort put in. Defensive miscues, a phantom no-call on a penalty, a crossbar rattle on the best chance of the match, and a growing yellow card collection made for a frustrating ninety. The Blues are adjusting. The pieces are there. Up the Blues. Premier League coverage DU Football Show.
Commander Greg Roach has spent his life serving others. After being rejected from the Naval Academy, he enlisted in the Navy's elite Nuclear Power Program, earned his way into Annapolis, became a submarine officer aboard a fast-attack submarine, taught future naval officers, and later volunteered to serve in Afghanistan. As Executive Officer of a Provincial Reconstruction Team in Kunar Province, one of the most dangerous regions of Afghanistan, Greg led a diverse team of military personnel and civilians through a challenging mission during the height of the war. They completed their mission. They brought everyone home alive. But the hardest chapter of his story began after the deployment ended. In this powerful conversation, Greg opens up about leadership, service, brotherhood, resilience, and the devastating reality of losing fellow veterans to suicide after returning home. He shares lessons learned from submarine warfare, combat deployments, mentoring future leaders, and helping veterans find purpose beyond military service. This episode explores: • Overcoming rejection and adversity • Life inside the Navy's nuclear submarine force • Leadership lessons from Afghanistan • The emotional cost of command • Veteran suicide and post-service struggles • Brotherhood beyond the battlefield • Finding purpose after military service • Why asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness Whether you're a veteran, first responder, leader, entrepreneur, or someone supporting a loved one who served, this conversation delivers powerful lessons about resilience, responsibility, and the importance of staying connected. If this episode impacts you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Because sometimes the most important battles happen after coming home. Learn more about your ad choices.

DMV Hoops Podcast – Episode 97
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we are joined by Admiral William O. Studeman, United States Navy, retired, and his wife Diane, former Pan Am stewardess and one of the most gracious ambassadors the airline ever had.Their connection to Pan Am runs deeper than most. Diane grew up in Milford-on-Sea in Hampshire, England. The navy and aviation were not just a backdrop to her childhood but its very fabric. She joined Pan Am as a stewardess in the early 1960s, at what many would argue was the cultural apex of the Jet Age, when the uniform was a statement and the Clipper was a promise of something larger than the ordinary.Bill is, in the truest sense, a Pan Am kid. His father, Oliver J. Studeman, joined Pan Am's Western Division at Brownsville, Texas in 1933, flying mail-carrying tri-motored Fokkers from Texas through Mexico to Panama and across the north coast of South America. He was known professionally as O.J. and had the nickname of "Stude" by his friends and colleagues. Over four decades, O.J. rose from Chief Pilot of the Western Division to Operations Manager of the Alaska, Pacific, and Latin American divisions, to Assistant Vice President of Pan Am's Guided Missile Range Division at Cape Canaveral, to Vice President of the Metropolitan Air Facilities Division at Teterboro, New Jersey, where he retired in 1972. His uncle, on his mother's side, also worked for the airline. Bill was born in Brownsville in January 1940. Pan Am, for him, was not just a company. It was a family inheritance.Bill and Diane met in the summer of 1962 at London's Heathrow Airport, where Bill was working the Pan Am ticket counter and Diane was working the TWA desk. She joined Pan Am shortly after. He entered Officer Candidate School in 1963 and spent the next 32 years in the United States Navy as a naval intelligence officer. At his Senate confirmation hearing, Senator Frank Murkowski said Bill had "mastered, as few others have, the intricate and arcane world of signals intelligence." He served as Director of Naval Intelligence, Director of the National Security Agency, and Deputy Director of Central at CIA, twice serving as its acting director of the agency across two presidential administrations. Diane hung up her wings to become a Navy wife and mother. They settled eventually in Annapolis.Before the interview, this episode explores three places that rarely appear in the standard Pan Am narrative: Brownsville, Texas, where the airline learned to fly in the clouds and where O.J. "Stude" Studeman first fell in love with the sky; Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay, the man-made island built to launch the Boeing B-314 Flying Boats toward Asia, whose art deco terminal still stands today; and Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, the oldest operating commercial airport in the New York metropolitan area, and the place where O.J. Studeman's remarkable Pan Am career came to a close.Bill and Diane's son, Rear Admiral Mike Studeman (ret.), recently published a book on leadership called Might of the Chain: Forging Leaders of Iron Integrity now available in bookstores and as an audiobook. This is Episode 65 of The Pan Am Podcast, and the final full episode with Tom Betti as host in the history and humanities format that has defined this program since its first season. Episode 66, the season finale and Tom's final episode, will be a five-year retrospective with special guests.Support the showVisit Us for more Pan Am History!

This week, Sam and Hiram sit down with Pauly from the Bay Bhoys and Leo from the Crabtown Blues to break down what it actually means to be part of a supporter's group. We're talking tailgate culture, section energy, drums, flags, and the origin story of the "Old Bay" chant. We get into what first-timers can expect on game day, how the groups keep the whole family involved, and how we can unify the stadium corner to corner. Plus, a season update, a check-in on the standings, and the usual drink in hand. Up the Blues. Premier League coverage DU Football Show.
In today's bonus podcast, we sit down with Kathryn Wynkoop, a remarkable client of Bello Machre, an organization dedicated to supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. Kathryn has been a resident for about 20 years and, as we learned, nothing stands in her way! Despite any disability, Kathryn holds down two jobs, loves her Bello Machre family, is active in her church, and is preparing for a long-awaited vacation! Did someone say disability? When you walk through the front door of Bello Machre, you will likely be greeted by Kathryn, who is a resident as well as an employee. When you walk in the front door of the Piup Moyer Rec Center in Annapolis on a Wednesday afternoon, Kathryn's smiling face will be there to offer a hearty hello! Because of the Bello Machre family, Kathryn's life is more rewarding and more fulfilling; and they have been doing it for our neighbors for more than 50 years! We also chat with Dr. Robert Ireland, the President and CEO of Bello Machre, about the changes he has seen in his time at the helm, and it is encouraging, despite more work to be done. We discuss the various programs available to residents and people with disabilities living at home throughout the State. And on June 13th, there is a great way to get to know the folks at Bello Machre with Every Step Counts, a fun walk/bike/skate-a-thon and party at AACC. Truly an incredible organization, and truly some inspiring people--I'm looking at you, Kathryn! Have a listen!

Dennis Diken, drummer and founding member of The Smithereens, joins us for a bonus podcast ahead of the band's one-night-only show with Marshall Crenshaw at Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis on Friday, June 5. From "Blood and Roses" and "Behind the Wall of Sleep" to "Only a Memory" and "A Girl Like You," The Smithereens built a sound that still hits hard—power pop, rock, British Invasion hooks, and Jersey grit all wrapped into songs that have aged a whole lot better than most of us. In this conversation, Dennis talks about what fans can expect when The Smithereens return to Annapolis, how guest vocalists step into songs that are so closely tied to Pat DiNizio, and why the band's music has never felt stuck in one era. We also dig into some deeper cuts, what still grabs his ear in new music, the vinyl he would hate to lose, and the dream collaborator he'd love to have onstage or in the studio. Very limited tickets remain for The Smithereens with Marshall Crenshaw at Rams Head On Stage on June 5. Details are available at RamsHeadOnStage.com, and you can keep up with the band at officialsmithereens.com. Normally, I'd say "have a listen now, and then grab your best friend and get a pair of tickets!" But not today. Put this on pause, get the tickets first (they are selling out) and THEN come back and... Have a listen!

The Massacoustics may only be two brothers onstage, but Andrew and Matthew Thompson have spent more than 25 years figuring out how to make two people sound like a full band. (Have you ever seen a guy drum with one hand and play the bass with the other?) Their music pulls from Americana, roots rock, country, and gritty acoustic road music, with big harmonies, a no-frills live approach, and the kind of chemistry that only comes from playing together for decades. In this conversation, we talk about their upcoming show at Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis on Thursday, June 18, what fans can expect from a Massacoustics live set, and why they have stayed away from loops, tracks, and other stage shortcuts. We also get into the difference between playing a listening room like Rams Head and a rowdy Key West crowd, the songs that are really hitting live right now, and the newer singles including "Too Many Miles," "No Regrets," and "The Hard Way." And because they are brothers, we also get into the fun stuff — how growing up around Boston and spending time in Nashville shaped the band, the weirdest places they have played, dream collaborators, and the song from their own catalog they never get tired of playing. Tickets are available now for their June 18 show at Rams Head On Stage. Have a listen!

Let's go all the way back to the beginning — the blind date that shouldn't have worked but did. From walks along the Annapolis waterfront to chocolate milkshakes at Chick and Ruth's Deli, we share what attracted us to each other, what red flags we overlooked, and what young Mary and young Jerry didn't know about love and marriage that we wish someone had told them. If you're dating, newly engaged, or just want a reminder of why you said yes in the first place, pull up a chair.

When Matt first went around the America's in his Albin Vega in 2011 (becoming the first and only person, still to this day, to do it solo and nonstop), he didn't have a radar despite all the icebergs. "I'd also rather have a Valiant 42"! he'd joke when people asked about it. Well, now he does! Matt is about to set forth on another epic adventure, aiming to circumnavigate the Arctic, above the Northwest & NorthEAST passages, on a Valiant 42 on loan from a friend (and 59º North crew I should add). I talked to Matt, with our mutual friend Ryan Finstad in attendance, in Annapolis two weeks ago to get an update. -- Support the podcast & become a member of The Quarterdeck, where Andy, August & Mia dive deep on the art of seam'nship.
