Pro wrestling has plenty of stipulation matches, but one of the most common is the Street Fight. It's essentially just another name for a No DQ match... or a Hardcore match... or a Weapons Wild match... or whatever other silly name you come up with. Regardless of the name, this match type has inspired this episode. Andrew and returning guest Warren Hayes (The Mr. Warren Hayes Show, Voices of Wrestling) play songs that have street suffixes in the title (street, road, drive, avenue, etc.), or in some cases are the names of actual streets. Artists played include Elton John, TSHA, Radiohead, Annie Lennox, Bobby Womack, Portishead, Yellowcard, and many more. Put on a sleeveless t-shirt and strap your kneepads over your jeans, because this episode is one big street fight you don't want to miss!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrew / @mrwarrenhayes.showSubscribe to Warren on YouTube: Youtube.com/@MrWarrenHayesAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Today's episode is all about play—not just with our kids, but in our own lives too. We're diving into the idea that each of us has a play personality—a way we're naturally wired to have fun, unwind, and come alive. And just like you might not parent or process like your spouse, you might not play like them either. Or like your kids. So today we're walking through 8 play archetypes and reflecting on how knowing your own (or your kid's) can bring more joy, less pressure, and better connection in everyday life. If you love what we do and want more behind-the-scenes fun, bonus episodes, and exclusive content, join the walk in love. Podcast Membership today!

To date, my new mini-series has very much been focused on the creation of your fragrances. However, once it's created, it becomes the time to put it out into the big wide world. But, how do you achieve it if you're a small independent perfume maker and you don't have the marketing budget or resources of a big company? Whether you know it or not, you're also carrying an expectation that you'll put your product on the internet and people will flock to buy it. In this episode, I give you the reality of both: what is achievable with marketing within a small indie brand, and what you should expect, and why both of these things can be much bigger and more prosperous than you think.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The reality versus the expectation of making your first social media post or putting out your first advert is huge. Karen explains what people subconsciously think will happen, what the reality of most situations are, why you're not alone and what to expect.   In the absence of large budgets and a dedicated marketing team, it can feel like you're in a David versus Goliath fight most days. However, as Karen explains, the real strengths of marketing lie elsewhere.  Artists do not always feel comfortable selling themselves. Talking about your own work can leave you feeling self conscious or even arrogant, but it is a crucial part of the process. Karen gives you some courage and some tips on how to sell yourself effectively.  All the marketing, sales, likes and comments on social media will never make you happy unless you know the answer to one very important question - “what does success look like to me?” Karen goes into depth on the importance of this point and how knowing the answer is the difference between real success and failure. BEST MOMENTS  “The gap between the energy you put into the creation and the silence on your first social media post is where a lot of people spiral.” “Your most important marketing tool is to have real clarity about what you're doing, why you're creating, who it is for.” “You can't make someone buy something they don't want. But you can share what you've created in a way that will connect with the right people.” EPISODE LINKS Perfume Making 101 Waitlist  Rose Fragrance Masterclass Wait List VALUABLE RESOURCES Getting Started Guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind   ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way.  Karen has inspired thousands of students to explore their olfactory sense and create their own personalised fragrances. With extensive product development experience in both the commercial perfumery and the organic skincare industry, Karen is able to offer a unique insight into creating natural and mixed media fragrances for fine fragrance, room scents and skincare/bodycare products using commercial perfumery techniques.

This summer, while I continue to heal from surgery and dream up Season 6, I am re-airing our most popular series: Creative Archetypes! If you are unfamiliar with the Enneagram, you can listen to the intro episode from the original 2023 series here. And if you are familiar and know your number, might I suggest you listen to each episode (even those that aren't about your number) to develop empathy and understanding of those who see the world differently. The Enneagram is a powerful tool for personal and relationship transformation, for artists and everyone! If you have episode ideas, dream guest suggestions, or other feedback for me, drop me an email hello@artistsforjoy.org  Original show notes: Perfectionism can keep us from starting altogether, stop us mid-art, and suck the joy out of the finished creative project. Can you relate?  This week on the podcast, Merideth chats with Enneagram One, Kendra Adachi (aka The Lazy Genius) about holding creative goals loosely, embracing imperfection, and becoming the architecture of your creative life.  Invitation:  1. Kendra's advice: "Ask someone you trust what they believe you bring to the creative process." 2. Explore The Lazy Genius' Magic Question: "What can I do now to make something easier later?" 3. Kendra says she lives by Suzanne Stabile's question, "What is mine to do?"

Albert Bierstadt’s story runs counter to the romanticized idea of a passionate starving artist. He was strategic in his career, selecting imagery that he knew would appeal to U.S. audiences, and monetizing his art outside of selling paintings.

Last Tuesday, I went with Micaela to an acrobatics class at a Chinese circus school in Montreuil. She was keen to try out the class with a view to improving her kung fu. Montreuil is a large, popular town to the east of Paris. Artists love it because you can still find unusual buildings to set up your studio. It's a very lively town, a ‘ Ville-monde ' as Gilles Soufi would have said, even if it is in the process of becoming gentrified. In the notes that accompany the text of this episode, we'll look at three natural turns of phrase in French. We'll also look at one sentence in particular, which is an application of a grammar lesson.  www.cultivateyourfrench.com #FrenchListening #LearnFrenchPodcast #FrenchCulture #ParisSurroundings #FrenchConversation #AdvancedFrench #FrenchImmersion #FrenchStory #RealFrenchLife #FrenchLanguageLearning

The Advisory Board PodcastEpisode: Confidence, Culture & the Blushington WayGuest: Natasha Cornstein, CEO of Blushington HoldingsSponsored by: ClientTether – the smart way to grow your franchise.What do luxury beauty, Broadway, and power listening have in common? Natasha Cornstein, CEO of Blushington Holdings, joined us on this episode to share how a next-gen beauty brand is setting the gold standard—not just for glam, but for how businesses should listen, lead, and scale with soul. Beauty with a MissionNatasha might not be the founder, but she's the visionary CEO behind Blushington's bold expansion. With locations in NYC and upcoming launches in Boca Raton and Houston, Blushington isn't just serving makeup and blowouts—they're serving confidence in a glass of champagne (or sparkling water, if that's your vibe). The mantra? Confidence looks great on you.Customer Experience = Business StrategyFor Blushington, customer experience isn't fluff—it's strategy. Natasha broke down how every detail, from hair washes to tone of voice, is engineered to make guests feel heard, seen, and celebrated. And we're not just talking lipstick and lashes. We're talking about a culture of power listening—a practice that's been baked into the DNA of the brand since day one.What's “Power Listening” Anyway?It's not your average active listening. Power listening means really hearing—without interrupting, without ego, and with the intent to understand, not just respond. It's how Natasha leads her team, trains artists, and builds loyalty both in-store and across her franchise network. The results? Artists feel valued, customers feel heard, and services like wig styling (yes, wigs!) are born from team ideas that rise to the top.Diversity and Inclusion: Not Just a TaglineBlushington's commitment to inclusivity isn't performative—it's operational. From inventory to training, their team is equipped to serve all women: all skin tones, hair textures, and backgrounds. This isn't new for them—it's who they've been since 2011.Franchising with HeartTransitioning from a corporate model to franchising, Natasha is all about balance: structure meets creativity. With powerhouse partners like iFranchise and Baker McKenzie onboard, she's building a franchise culture that values the operator's insights as much as the playbook. Her franchisees? Often customers first. Loyal to the experience, now committed to scaling it.Bonus Round: Glam Meets BroadwayFun fact: Natasha's husband is co-producing a Broadway show, Take a Banana for the Road with Jeffrey Ross, opening this August. So if you find yourself in NYC, you might just catch some blush, a blowout, and a standing ovation all in one trip.Listen in to hear how beauty, business, and culture intersect—beautifully. And thank you again to ClientTether, for sponsoring today's episode and supporting smarter franchise growth through automation, lead nurturing, and CRM tools designed for brands that want to scale with impact.

Life sometimes has a funny way of turning out. Sometimes a dire situation presents itself and the outcome is much better than we could have ever imagined. In this particular case, it took a mother to show her true love, courage and support and possibly willingly risk jail time to prove  to her son that she loved him with her whole heart.  While convalescing at home, Chisom finally was courageous enough to come out to his loving parents. Bedridden and home bound after his initial collapse, he was convinced it was time to open up to his parents about his sexuality. At a most vulnerable time in his life, he was scared and nervous about telling his parents the truth, that he was gay.  He was certain that both his parents loved him unconditionally but  was afraid this was going to be too much for them.  "Knowing that my parents loved me so much, made it that much easier to come out to them and be open with them," added Chisom. His mother's response was " I know, I've always known," says my guest.On a grander scale, writing a personal essay about being a member of the LGBTQ community and  having his story published in the NY Times Modern Love Column was frighting.  Possibly the whole world could read it and find out the truth, that Chisom was a member of the gay community. Chisom's essay is an endearing story of his parent's love for their son. His mother, who's name is Gift, is exceptionally open and honest and loving of her son, regardless of his sexual preference. One can only hope, that everyone struggling with coming out to their loved ones, will receive the same openness and acceptance.Chisom's message to his mother "You are a rock star. You are a gift to me. And I love you very much. Words can't describe how much I love you and how much you mean to me. Everything I do, I do it for you. You are always there for me and you always support me. You always tell me to shoot for the stars".**In February 2021, Chisom has hired to be the Deputy Editor and Culture and Technology reporter  of @Livingfree_UK.  https://livingfreeuk.org/"Living Free UK is a registered community interest company founded in 2018 out of the struggles of millions of LGBTIQ+ Africans who are still battling with their sexuality and gender identity, especially in countries where it is still illegal to live their truth and in some cases lose their lives while trying to find liberty and acceptance.Our main aim is to provide support and validate the lived experiences of LGBTIQ+ Africans, people seeking asylum, and refugees. As research shows, there are 72 countries where homosexuality is still a crime and even in the UK, LGBTIQ+ Africans experience immense difficultly when finding a safe space to express themselves freely and openly without fear of racism, afrophobia, or prejudice of any kind. Some are also unable to return home because of the danger that awaits them.**Now a budding journalist and recent nominee for a journalistic award- this is from Chisom's LinkedIn Acct. (March 2022)"Yesterday  was the Future Awards Africa, and I was nominated for the journalism prize and was also the second youngest nominee in the awards. While I didn't win, I'm grateful for the opportunity to be seen.As a young journalist covering policies and minority groups in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, the work I do can be pretty dangerous, but getting nominated for this is a "stepping stone," as my ma put it.

Professions in fiction are usually always portrayed in very exaggerated, super fantastical expert versions of themselves. Like if it's a psychologist they generally know exactly what a person is thinking, why they're thinking a certain way, what all their issues are, why they have them and how to fix them. They can tell if a person is lying and the truth they are coving up by doing so! If it's a police detective and they're a main character they can generally solve any crime pretty easily with their amazing abilities… if they're NOT a main character then they're usually pretty useless though haha! Why is this done? Well there are a few reasons, one is that the creators might not know very much about the profession so they pack in all the best parts of it into their portrayals, especially if they want to show that their character is the best at something. One reason is that it's a good shorthand and saves time and resources if you just pack one character with the skills of 10 people instead of having to write an entire team, so they become almost an avatar that represents the idea of a profession. I think of the character Doctor Hodgins in the TV series Bones, he specialises in slime, bugs, and soil samples at a forensic pathology lab - real experts in that field say that it would require a large team of people to match the work of that character. We commonly see this with action heroes. Spies for example, specifically field agents have so many skills and abilities that they do the work of an army of people. John Wick represents the fictional occupation of a hit-man with fictional skills of solider martial artists. Doctors in fiction (as main characters), can recognise any malady without advanced testing or machinery and usually cure them in a single day. Artists can reproduce any style of work extremely quickly and draw super realistically from memory. Musicians can play any song with no practise and grab an audience's attention and emotion with it in their first performance. Sherlock Holmes is ostensibly a prime example of this trend, he's an expert detective and can solve any crime with almost superhuman powers of observation and leaps of logic. In most versions of him that is how he's always portrayed, but that's actually not quite right since the version of Holmes we're given is mediated through the perspective of his partner Doctor Watson who is astonished by Holmes and hero worships him, so he could almost be considered an “unreliable narrator”. In THIS way Sherlock Holmes could be an example of the CORRECT way to handle this trend: He SEEMS to be a super expert mainly because the view of him we see is recounted by a person who thinks of him that way. What are some issues with this? If it's done too much it can easily get on the nose a ruin suspension of disbelief. It can also create unrealistic expectations in audiences and this can cause REAL harm in reality when people expect all their ills to be easily diagnosed and cured- and when they aren't then they turn to alternative medicine (fake medicine) which promises cures and yet does nothing but pretends it does. People will shun real police who can't seem to solve disappearances fast enough and turn to psychics or even violent vigilantes instead. So there are indeed bad consequences for taking things too far in fiction. Has your job ever been misrepresented this way? What are some of the worst, silliest versions of this trend? What are examples of when it's done right? This week Gunwallace has given us a musical theme inspired by Machine World - Desolate plains, the image of post apocalyptic destruction, black rocky sands, rusting steel wreckage, the massive skeletal remains of long dead machinery, haunted, ancient, abandoned, yet humanity persists.

It's been one full year of D-List Diaries, and Nicole, Gina, and Kirsten are celebrating with an unhinged (and very on-brand) episode. First up: we finally get answers in the Connie Franklin spam call saga.The girls also spiral into a conversation about MLMs they've joined (don't judge), how easily influenced they are, and whether Gina might accidentally get recruited into another one. Plus, they talk about their codependent relationship with ChatGPT, which is apparently now Gina's dentist?To round things out, Gina shares a story about a salon client gone rogue, and Nicole proposes a genius (but probably illegal) idea: a “bad client” database for service industry workers. It's equal parts chaos and comedy—basically, classic D-List.Have questions or comments? Reach out on Instagram!

If you’ve got a high school kid in public school in New Orleans and your kid is interested in pursuing anything in the arts – like music, dance, theater, film, even creative writing – you find out pretty quickly, the school doesn’t have a budget for that. To put on a play, publish a newspaper, learn dance, or most other musical and artistic pursuits, the funds required generally come from fundraisers, or parents’ pockets. Now, when you get to a public high school like NOCCA – the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts – where education and excellence in the arts is the very reason for its existence – it would be impossible to expect bake sales or parents to foot the bill for those expenses. So where does that money come from? It comes from an organization dedicated to raising the funds that help power NOCCA, called the NOCCA Foundation. Adonis Rose is a NOCCA graduate who has gone on to a successful career as a jazz musician. Adonis has won a Grammy, he’s played on every stage that matters - including Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center - he’s accompanied legends like Dianne Reeves and Wynton Marsalis, and since 2024 he’s been Executive Director of the NOCCA Foundation. One of the arts your high school kid might like to study is film. If they do, maybe they’ll graduate and go to film school. And then, if they want to be in the film business they’ll have to move to someplace else where they make movies. Because everybody here seems to agree that apart from a few brief and wonderful years when we were known as “Hollywood South,” there’s no way to have a career in the film business in New Orleans. Don’t tell that to Kenny Morrison. Kenny has been making a nationwide career for himself as a New Orleans-based film-maker since 2001. He principally makes high-end and big-budget commercials – many of which you have certainly seen - for the likes of banks, shoes, hospitals and insurance companies. Kenny is what’s known in the film business as a triple threat – director, cinematographer, and an entrepreneurial film technologist, pioneering cutting-edge visual effects through his virtual-production company, Lucy XR. It used to be generally accepted that there were real jobs – like lawyers, doctors and plumbers – and then there were b.s. jobs like actors, musicians, and film makers. We don’t think so much like that anymore. Maybe it changed because an actor, Ronald Reagan, became one of the most popular Republican presidents of the 20th Century. Jay Z had a successful career as a musician before creating a music business empire. Artists have made millions of dollars selling works of art in the crypto space as NFT’s. Online content creators clean up collaborating with fashion houses and sneaker manufacturers. The demarcation line between art and business has gotten blurred. Locally, Adonis Rose and Kenny Morrison continue to demonstrate that creativity and commerce can happily co-exist. And that’s a lesson we need to take to heart here in New Orleans, perhaps more than any city in the country. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

Today I invited my AMS Mastermind partner, Oliver Hojas, to be on the show. A month ago Oliver needed $10,000 FAST, and in 4 days, he sold 2 paintings and made just under $11K.

There are KEY ASPECTS to making more money than you are used to, and if you're an artist who wants to make $100 or $10,000 or even $100,000, you need to listen to this Podcast. If you absorb the philosophies we share, it WILL uplevel your art business (and your life.)

In today's episode, you will learn a series of vocabulary words that are connected to a specific topic. This lesson will help you improve your ability to speak English fluently about a specific topic. It will also help you feel more confident in your English abilities.5 Vocabulary WordsPixel (Noun): The smallest unit of a digital image or display, representing a single point of color. Example Sentences:The resolution of the digital artwork is measured in pixels, which affects its clarity and detail.Each pixel in a digital image contributes to the overall quality and sharpness of the artwork.Artists often zoom in on pixels to refine intricate details in their digital paintings.Layer (Noun): A separate level in digital art software where different elements or adjustments are applied independently.Example Sentences:The artist used multiple layers to separate the background, characters, and effects in the digital artwork.Adjusting the opacity of a layer can help create subtle visual effects in digital painting.Layers allow artists to work on different aspects of their art without affecting other elements.Resolution (Noun): The amount of detail an image holds, usually measured in pixels per inch (PPI) or dots per inch (DPI).Example Sentences:Higher resolution images have more detail and are better suited for large prints.The resolution of the digital artwork affects how crisp and clear it appears on different screens.Adjusting the resolution settings can improve the quality of the final output in digital art.Opacity (Noun): The degree to which a layer or color is transparent or visible in digital art.Example Sentences:By adjusting the opacity of a layer, the artist can create translucent effects and overlay elements.Lowering the opacity of the paint layer helped the artist achieve a more subtle and blended look.Opacity settings are crucial for layering and merging different elements in digital compositions.Rendering (Noun): The process of generating a final image or animation from a digital model, including applying textures, lighting, and effects.Example Sentences:The final rendering of the 3D model took several hours to complete due to the complex textures and lighting.Artists often preview their work before rendering to ensure all elements are correctly placed.Advanced rendering techniques can add realism and depth to digital art projects.A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary wordsDigital art is a form of art created using digital tools and techniques. Artists often work with layers in their digital artwork, allowing them to manipulate different elements of their composition independently. The opacity of these layers can be adjusted to control how much they overlap or blend with other elements. When creating digital art, resolution is crucial, as it determines the quality and detail of the final image. Rendering is the process of creating a realistic or stylized image from a digital model or sketch. Each image is composed of millions of tiny dots called pixels, which contribute to the overall quality and appearance of the artwork. As technology continues to advance, digital art is likely to play an even greater role in the world of visual arts, offering artists new and exciting possibilities for creative expression.If you want to sign up for the free daily English vocabulary newsletter, go to

Yes, things are dark. But if history has taught us anything, it's this: regimes fall, because people rise. Some soldiers will follow orders. Others won't. And that fault line? It's where dictatorships begin to crack. Just ask Romania in 1989, as we discussed in our March episode, “How to Overthrow a Dictator.” Meanwhile, Trump's team can't even staff the Pentagon, according to reports. No one who can put one foot in front of the other wants to work for “Whiskey Pete.”  The NIH is being gutted. Five-year research grants canceled in year four. Science is being purged, not for savings, but for submission. Stalin would be proud. So what do we do? We create. We resist. We document. We fund the arts. We fund scientists. We dance in the streets. Because protest is not just rage: it's dance, murals, color, joy. We outnumber them. They know it. That's why they're afraid. That's why they send in the troops. So unleash your inner rebel. Paint. Dance in the streets. Testify. We are all artists now. Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?
