It's Founder Friday! I am very happy to welcome to the show the founders of Goldies Coffee Roasters Kristen Redfield and Jenna Currier! Kristen Redfield is a life-long Alaskan growing up in North Kenai, Alaska. In 2010 she began her coffee career as a barista just before graduating from the University of Alaska Anchorage with a Bachelors of Art in Art.  In 2013 she co-founded Goldie's Coffee Roasters in Anchorage with her sister Jenna and in 2018 they started their roastery. Outside of coffee Kristen loves being a mother- raising their two children with her husband Dan. They spend their free time hiking, camping and taking advantage of all Alaska has to offer.  Kristen also helps her husband run their nonprofit program Adventure for Ava in memory of their late daughter Ava Rose. Jenna Currier is a born and raised Alaskan. She is a wife, sister, entrepreneur and an award-winning coffee roaster. When she's not actively running a small business, Jenna enjoys traveling with her husband Tyler and taking advantage of Alaska's beautiful summers hiking with their two dogs, fishing, camping and spending time with family. Jenna Currier has been a part of the coffee industry since 2008, working as a barista through college until she graduated with the Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from the University of Alaska Anchorage. In 2013, she and Kristen seized the opportunity to turn their shared passion into a reality by opening their own drive thru cafe. Fueled for a love of great coffee and community, Goldies was born. For the last 12 years, Kristen and Jenna have been busy growing a small business, sourcing specialty coffee and serving freshly roasted beans in Anchorage. The search for a consistent coffee blend that would hold up in a milk based beverage ultimately led to roasting their own coffee in summer 2018. Just after a year of learning how to source, ship and roast speciality coffee, they entered their first Golden Bean Roasting Competition in Nashville, coming home with medals in multiple categories. Kristen and Jenna continue to attend industry events both nationally and at the local level. They recognize that there is always something new to learn and bring back to serve their community. They share a love for specialty coffee and exceptional customer service, and they strive to ensure every customer experiences both with each visit. Goldie's Coffee Roasters operates from a single location with a dedicated team of six staff members who work together to create a positive, welcoming, and fun environment. We get the whole story in this interview along with great insights into staffing, hospitality, drive-thru service, designing offerings for customer preference, leadership and much more!  Links:  https://goldiescoffeeroasters.com/ https://www.instagram.com/goldiescoffeeroasters/ https://www.avasstory.org/   Related episodes:   INTERESTED IN 1:1 CONSULTING AND COACHING?

There seems to be no limit to what artificial intelligence can produce and create. So how will artificial intelligence impact the way we make and critique art? Today, we hear how artists are using artificial intelligence in their work. We ask a Connecticut professor, and artists of all disciplines, if AI is good or bad for the creative process. We also explore a question: If AI is the author, can what it made really be called art?

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with poet and visual artist Zachary Logan about his beautiful collection of poetry and art, Green (Radiant Press, 2025).  An exciting new collection of ekphrastic poems accompanied by a compilation of green sketches via the lens of a queer poet and visual artist. Zachari Logan carried a sketchbook as he travelled the world and responded to iconic artwork as well as art that once existed but is now lost, destroyed, or far away. Whimsical art and thoughtful poems that ponder the nature of existence. Zachari Logan is a queer Canadian settler poet and artist whose artwork has been exhibited throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Logan's work can be found in collections worldwide, including the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Ontario, Remai Modern, Peabody Essex Museum, McMichael Canadian Art Collection and Nerman MOCA among many others. In 2014 Logan received the Lieutenant Governor's Emerging Artist Award, in 2015 he received the Alumni of Influence Award from the University of Saskatchewan and in 2016 Logan was long-listed for the Sobey Art Award. In 2010, his chapbook, A Eulogy for the Buoyant, was published by JackPine Press and in 2021, A Natural History of Unnatural Things, was published by Radiant Press. Logan's artwork and writing has been featured in many publications throughout the world. Zachari Logan lives in Regina, Saskatchewan. “Green is a ravishing compendium of attention—a book that bristles with subtle and unexpected poetic turns, and the peculiar thrum of being human in a world increasingly out of step with itself. Here, the act of writing is inseparable from drawing, from walking, from remembering, from witnessing—and from loving, deeply, the fragile and persistent textures of the earth. Zachari Logan's poems pulse with vegetal sensitivity, moving between alleyways and art history, between inner monologue and ecological longing. Green is not merely a colour: it is an atmosphere, a consciousness, a sensual and moral register. What it captures is more than the sum of its fragments—it is their residue, their ache, their adaptation, their ephemeral and often unintelligible traces. There is a deep and haunting beauty across these pages, but also fury, wit, and a quiet defiance. A sensual invitation to pay attention, this little but mighty book is not only an artistic gesture, but a political and ethical one. With luminous precision and a mind turned toward both the microscopic and the mythic, Green is a spell cast in language and images—one that lingers long after the page is turned.”— Giovanni Aloi, author of Lucian Freud: Plant Portraits, Botanical Revolutions: How Plants Changed the Course of Art and Speculative Taxidermy: Natural History, Animal Surfaces, and Art in the Anthropocene“A poem in its very color; deep green, wildly queer. This book captivates with its folds and cracks. The dissection of worlds, coupled with meticulous sketches of botany, art and the quotidian carried by the fascinating complexity of nature. One is lost between the body of a naked man or an abandoned thistle flower in a thick ditch. At once a sketchbook, a collection of poems, and an essay- this collection opens a door to the striking universe of Zachari Logan.”— Julie Hetu, author of Pacific Bell, Les dormeurs de Nauru and MotZachari Logan Learn more about your ad choices.

“The Artist is Present” is a special series which is being hosted under the Catalyst: A Creative Industries Podcast of the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at Chapman University.  “The Artis is Present” was developed under the direction of the Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Collection of Art's Director, Fiona Shen, and Collections Manager, Jessica Bocinski, so that a wider audience would have the opportunity to hear directly from the artists in the Escalette Collection at the University. In this episode of The Artists is Present, host Helene Vlok interviews Bonnie Barrett - one of artist Inna Jane Ray's dear friends. After Inna passed in 2020, Bonnie has dedicated countless hours to sharing Inna's work with the world. The Escalette Collection is honored to be home to more than 100 artworks by Inna Jane Ray and is excited to present the Inna Jane Ray Exhibit at the Hilbert Museum of California Art, running from March to August 2025. A graphic designer herself, Bonnie explains how she met Inna at Immaculate Heart College and how they became instant friends, and later roommates. Bonnie explains how the shared love and passion for art amongst their friend group blossomed into the establishment of their zine, Native, in which poetry and paintings alike were celebrated. Moreover, Bonnie provides a timeline of her friendship with Inna, shares what styles and individuals in the artworld had a significant impact on Inna, and why she is so committed to sharing Inna's work with others.  Listen along as Bonnie gives insight into navigating creative processes and the significant role that friends and family play in them, and as she celebrates the life of Inna Jane Ray.

In this episode, Phil and JF are joined by Meredith Michael—musicologist, podcaster, and Weird Studies production assistant—for a conversation about animal songs. The phrase is intentionally slippery. Are we talking about songs about animals, or songs by animals? Both, as it turns out. Beginning with three very different human compositions—The Beatles' “Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey,” Hovhaness's And God Created the Great Whales, and Björk's “Human Behavior”—the hosts discuss the roles animals play in human music, mythology, and mind. Along the way, they touch on Pink Floyd, the Beatles' trip to India, heroin addiction, the indeterminacy of singing and screaming, the messiness of inter-species communication, the discovery of whale song, the problem of (not) projecting humanness onto animals, the Book of Genesis, and the porous boundary between the human and non-human worlds. All that (and more) for two of the songs! Phil's pick will be explored in a forthcoming episode. Meredith Michael is a PhD candidate in Musicology at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. She is working on a dissertation about musical mythologies of outer space in the twentieth century. In her spare time she loves making art of all kinds, going for long walks, making friends with cats, and watching cartoons. Meredith hosts the Cosmophonia podcast with Gabriel Lubell.

On this episode of Grieving Out Loud, we're having an important one-on-one conversation with a key figure from President Trump's administration—someone deeply involved in shaping how our country responds to the addiction and mental health crisis.Right now, more than 48 million Americans are living with substance use disorder. Yet, the administration is proposing a $56 million cut to a federal grant that helps communities and first responders access naloxone—the life-saving medication that can reverse opioid overdoses.And that's just one piece of the puzzle. The so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” also includes Medicaid cuts that could dramatically affect addiction prevention and treatment across the country. Add to that a major overhaul of several federal programs that support substance use treatment, and there's a lot at stake.On this episode, we sit down with Art Kleinschmidt, head of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. And we're asking the tough questions.Listen to Art's previous episode of Grieving Out Loud here.Send us a textThe Emily's Hope Substance Use Prevention Curriculum has been carefully designed to address growing concerns surrounding substance use and overdose in our communities.

Welcome to the Art of Value Whispering podcast In this episode of the Brilliant Business Book Festival, I'm joined by Bob Burg, co-author of the widely loved book: The Go-Giver.   ‍ Bob's writing started with a practical sales book, Endless Referrals, but soon realized the power of storytelling. That led to The Go-Giver, a business parable built around timeless relationship-building principles. ‍ In this insightful episode, Bob shares why giving in business isn't about self-sacrifice - it's about building deep, trusted relationships that grow your impact and income.  ‍ Through storytelling, timeless principles, and real-world experience, he reveals how shifting focus from getting to giving is the secret to sustainable business success. ‍ Join me in this episode to discover practical insights for growing a value-led business, navigating boundaries,asking boldly, and building a brand others can't help but advocate for. ‍ ‍ “Success in business isn't about taking, it's about becoming the kind of person others know, like and trust.” - Bob Burg ‍ In this Week's Episode... ‍ In this episode, you will learn: ‍ Why The Go-Giver was written as a parable, and how that format transforms learning. The true difference between Go-Givers, Go-Getters, and Go-Takers. How value is perceived in the other people's eye and how you define it . Why introverts are naturally better at sales, and how to lean into that. How to give generously without becoming a doormat or burning out. ‍

The land we now call Scripps Oceanography has been home to the Kumeyaay people for thousands of years. A history of encroachment, colonization and displacement from coastal lands has challenged Kumeyaay ocean traditions and practices. Today, Kumeyaay-Iipay-Tipay people are actively revitalizing Indigenous ocean culture. As part of Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series, Stan Rodriguez and Priscilla Ortiz Sawah of the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel, and Andrew James Pittman of the Los Coyotes Band and Cupeño Indians, talk about the history of the Kumeyaay culture in the region. Through community efforts, they are rebuilding traditional ha kwaiyo (tule boats), harvesting ha shupill (grunion) and teaching language about the ocean (ha silowik). These intergenerational practices embody Indigenous resilience, resistance and revival — nurturing and evolving Indigenous ocean knowledge, culture and traditions. Series: "Jeffrey B.

“You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me” What happens when we view Taylor Swift's music through the lens of other female artists, particularly painters? In this Summer favorite repeat, we explore the work of three iconic women in art and connect their paintings to Taylor Swift's songs. From the intimacy of motherhood in Mary Cassatt's work, to the surrealism of Remedios Varo, to the medieval renderings of Hildegard von Bingen, we discuss how these themes appear in both art and Taylor's songwriting. Listen to hear how artist reframes familiar Swiftian themes like mother‑daughter bonds, dream‑logic escapism, and spiritual longing through paint, not lyrics.

What's the secret to building genuine connections without alcohol? Delia and Chris both started their alcohol-free journeys in The Path with the common goal of connecting with others. For Delia, it was about fitting in and feeling accepted in social situations, while for Chris, it was overcoming deep emotional suppression and learning to trust others. In this episode, they share how they are learning to build genuine connections without alcohol, face their fears, and embrace emotional vulnerability. Tune in to hear how they're navigating this journey and uncovering the truth about real connection. In Delia's session: Confronting the belief that alcohol is essential for connection and fitting in Struggling with feelings of worthiness and self-acceptance in sobriety The fear of being the "odd one out" or disappointing others by not drinking Realizing alcohol dulls personality and hinders true presence Identifying superficial conversations fueled by alcohol versus genuine connection Acknowledging moments of true belonging and comfort without alcohol Reframing social drinking as simply "liquid in a glass" Standing in her truth about choosing not to drink Learning to observe social dynamics with "curiosity goggles" And more topics… In Chris' session: Understanding that movement forward and backward are both learning opportunities Addressing childhood trauma and emotional suppression from boarding school Recognizing hyper-independence and difficulty forming genuine connections The challenge and beauty of feeling emotions after years of numbing with alcohol Learning to name and explore feelings beyond basic emotions Utilizing tools for building genuine connections without alcohol Connecting body sensations to emotional experiences Releasing resentment for a lighter emotional burden The profound realization that true healing requires feeling, not just talking And more… Pam McRae is a Certified TNM Coach, Master Life Coach, and Gray Area Drinking Coach. Since rethinking her relationship with alcohol in 2017, she considers herself a non-drinker.

Embrace Transparency in Marketplaces: Establish marketplaces, like AutoBandit, provide a risk-free, transparent platform for car dealerships. Future-Proofing with Leasing: Understanding emerging trends and new legislation can reshape dealership strategies and consumer interactions.   In the world of automotive sales, achieving outstanding success demands both innovation and a keen understanding of market dynamics. The Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast provides a treasure trove of insights through candid discussions with industry insiders. The conversations with Sean V. Bradley and automotive experts Rammy Joudeh and Dayne Thornicroft underscore pivotal themes in today's automotive marketplace. By examining the strategies of top sellers, the role of innovative marketplaces, and the reshaping landscape due to new legislation, it becomes clear how these elements synergize to redefine success in car sales. Harnessing the Cody Carter Model: Strategic Success in Car Sales Cody Carter stands as a beacon of success in the automotive industry, consistently achieving remarkable sales numbers. His multifaceted strategy serves as a blueprint for other salespeople aiming to elevate their performance. As Sean V. Bradley notes, "Success leaves clues." Carter's approach is not just about exceptional interpersonal skills but about strategically positioning himself where the customers are: "He lives where the shoppers hang out," states Rammy Joudeh. Carter leverages several key tactics. His utilization of Facebook groups allows him to connect with potential buyers effectively. His expertise in leasing, specifically through self-service pricing platforms such as Least Genius, empowers customers with the information they crave, thus enhancing the buying experience. Moreover, Carter's strategic alliances with auto brokers create a pipeline for consistent, qualified leads. Understanding and implementing these elements can drive significant improvements in a salesperson's business model. Dealers and sales professionals need to adopt a mindset of continuous learning and adaptation, leveraging environments where customers are most active. Redefining Transparency in Car Dealerships with Marketplaces In an era where trust and transparency hold paramount importance, marketplaces like AutoBandit emerge as revolutionary platforms for dealerships. These marketplaces are transforming the car sales landscape by providing risk-free opportunities to connect buyers and dealerships. "We want to perform; if we don't perform, that's on us," says Rammy Joudeh, emphasizing the accountability and confidence embedded in their model. AutoBandit, as highlighted by Dayne Thornicroft, offers a unique approach by integrating transparency into the transaction process. With practices such as running soft credit apps, verifying IDs, and securing deposits upfront, the marketplace minimizes friction between buyer and dealership. This ensures that only qualified buyers engage, enhancing efficiency and customer satisfaction. By shifting focus to such platforms, dealerships can drive customer confidence and improve sales. They provide an avenue to bypass traditional lead generation pitfalls by creating seamless experiences that culminate in qualified, delivery-ready prospects. Navigating the Legislative Landscape: Impacts and Opportunities New legislation, particularly the recent "big beautiful bill," holds the potential to reshape the automotive industry. As Dayne Thornicroft outlines, significant aspects of these legislative changes include adjustments to EV rebates, impacting leasing's attractiveness. "Leasing a hybrid and an ev… their penetration rates… are much, much higher," he states, reflecting the growing importance of understanding these market shifts. The implications for car sales lie in adapting to these changes proactively. By capitalizing on current benefits, such as EV lease incentives before they phase out, dealerships can enhance their value proposition to customers. Such foresight ensures dealerships remain competitive amidst evolving legislative environments. Moreover, the conversation among the podcast's hosts touches on an evolving market ethos—consumers now expect pricing transparency. With the enforcement of initiatives like the Cars Act waning, responsibility falls on dealerships to maintain trust through integrity and openness, ultimately nurturing long-term customer relationships. Synthesizing Market Dynamics for Unparalleled Success The wisdom imparted through conversations on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast encapsulates key elements essential for domination in the car sales arena. From Cody Carter's strategic mastery to the disruptive innovations introduced by marketplaces like AutoBandit, and through the lens of crucial legislative shifts, a holistic understanding of these dynamics is vital.

The Silent Conversations Controlling Your Success   The Conversations Silently Controlling Your Life   The Dialogue Beneath the Surface You've checked the boxes. Career, family, personal milestones—on paper, it all looks good.   So why do certain moments still feel tight, disconnected, or misunderstood?   Here's a truth most people never stop to consider: It's not just what you say to others. It's what you don't say. And more importantly—what you're constantly saying to yourself.   In this episode of Richer Soul, we sit down with Chuck Wisner, author of The Art of Conscious Conversation, to explore how our everyday communication—spoken and unspoken—shapes the quality of our lives.   5 Soul-Level Insights from Chuck Wisner: (This isn't about talking better. It's about living more consciously.) You're not responding to the world—you're reacting to your internal story. Most people move through life guided not by truth, but by assumptions. Chuck shows how these hidden “storytelling conversations” create unnecessary conflict and block deeper connection. Listening is more than hearing—it's a form of presence. In a distracted world, true listening has become rare. Chuck explains how deep listening can heal relationships and dissolve tension—without needing to fix, defend, or solve. Emotions aren't problems to avoid—they're invitations to go deeper. Using his Spiral of Emotions model, Chuck reframes emotions like fear and anger as gateways to growth—if we're willing to stay curious rather than reactive. You can't have peace with others if you're at war within. Most of us speak from defense or habit. Conscious communication starts by noticing your own thoughts—and choosing which ones deserve your voice. Transformation starts in the pause. The space between what you feel and how you respond is where true change lives. Chuck helps us reclaim that space—and use it to build more honest, loving, and meaningful connections.   Why This Conversation Matters: We often think our challenges are about time, stress, or misalignment with others. But many of those outer struggles stem from one overlooked place: How we speak. How we listen. And the unconscious patterns we never question.   This episode is an invitation to pause—and begin again, more aware, more present, and more connected.   Money Learning: What if the way you talk about money is shaping the way you experience it? Chuck's framework reminds us: Every financial decision begins with a conversation—either with others or with yourself. For many successful people, money becomes a language of control, security, or identity. But when we stop and examine the emotions behind those conversations—fear, scarcity, pride—we begin to see how our words around money often reveal deeper stories about worth and safety. This episode invites you to ask: Are your money conversations driven by truth—or by unspoken fear? By bringing more presence and honesty to how we speak about wealth, we open the door to more peaceful, purpose-aligned choices.   Guest Bio: Chuck Wisner has spent 30 years as a trusted advisor, coach, and teacher in communication, human dynamics, and leadership excellence. He has worked with leaders and their teams in Fortune 200 companies. He also trained in mediation and worked as a senior mediator affiliated with the Harvard Mediation Program at the Harvard Law School, and later, was associated with MIT's Center for Organizational Learning. His book, The Art of Conscious Conversations – Transforming How We Talk, Listen, and Interact (BK Publishers, Oct. 22, 2022), explores how to heighten our awareness and become more conscious in our conversations.   Links:   Website- chuckwisner.com  LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/company/chuckwisner/   Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/chuckwisnerconsulting   Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/chuck_wisner/   X- https://x.com/chuck_wisner   Book- The Art of Conscious Conversations – Transforming How We Talk, Listen, and Interact- https://www.amazon.com/Art-Conscious-Conversations-Transforming-Interact/dp/152300326X/   Key Discussion Points from This Episode: Why most conversations are driven by unconscious emotional patterns—not conscious choice. How “storytelling conversations” shape your worldview and sabotage your relationships. The hidden cost of trying to “fix” instead of listen. What it really means to pause between reaction and response—and why it's a spiritual practice. The Spiral of Emotions: how fear, anger, and shame can evolve into clarity and creativity. How to recognize when your ego is running the dialogue. The difference between conscious communication and controlling conversation. What Chuck learned from his own journey—from architect to spiritual communicator—and why presence changed everything.   Share This with Someone You Care About: If something in this episode helped you see your conversations—or yourself—differently, don't keep it to yourself. Share it with someone who's ready to grow through a deeper kind of communication. Because real change doesn't happen all at once. It happens one conscious conversation at a time. #RicherSoul #ConsciousCommunication #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAwareness #InnerPeace #SpiritualGrowth #SoulSuccess #MindfulLiving #PurposeOverPerfection #LifeClarity    Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Sony-owned Santa Monica Studio is one of PlayStation's first party powerhouses. Responsible for the God of War franchise -- and, other than Kinetica early in the PS2 era, only the God of War franchise -- there was some excitement building about what was next.
