Send us Fan MailI met Anastasia Rolek years ago in the most random way and we somehow discovered that we are each ultrarunners, although in Anastasia's case, she is way more successful than I am. In addition, she is a lot more colorful, being well-known for running races dressed as Supergirl, Beast Mode Barbie, and as a unicorn. You might say that Anastasia is a flat land ultramarathon specialist, having placed second in the Prairie Spirit 100 in Kansas five times. But this year she got into Western States, the grandaddy of 100 mile races, which she finished in 28:32:06, although not without some anxious moments leading up to the run. Like many in the ultra world, Anastasia found a new community after battling addiction to alcohol, and she describes the setbacks she encountered during those turbulent times. Through the uplifting ultra community, she found her now-new husband, Aaron Lozier, who has supported this journey as well as crewed her, and he joins us on this episode to make it even more fun. Anastasia is following in Aaron's steps into the rock climbing world, and has her sights set on taking on the Badwater 135, having crewed for another runner there last year. And you'll learn how petrified Anastasia is of cockroaches!My Running With Problems podcast episode with Miranda Williamson and Jon Eisen:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/running-with-problems/id1684062687?i=1000778933670Anastasia RolekInstagram @anastasiasupergyrlFacebook Anastasia RolekAaron LozierInstagram @ajlozierBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook and LinkedIn Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138

What does it take to stop competing on price and start commanding attention? One word. Your core belief. In this episode of the Business of Story, host Park Howell sits down with Brian Burkhart, founder of Square Planet and one of America's top communication strategists, to reveal why most businesses become invisible commodities — and exactly what to do about it. Brian has spent decades helping Fortune 500 leaders, CEDx speakers, and senior executives find the single galvanizing word that transforms how teams align, how audiences feel, and how brands compete. His insight is simple and powerful: if you can't name what you stand for, you won't stand out. In this episode you'll discover: How to distill your core belief into one powerful word that galvanizes your entire organization Brian's 10-step ancient Stoic framework that works for any presentation, pitch, or keynote How to reverse-engineer your core beliefs directly from your daily actions Why your audience decides with feelings first — and how to make art that activates them The Mad Men "It's Toasted" moment that proves one idea beats every feature list Brian Burkhart defines art as "the unnecessary done on purpose to make someone feel." Sprinkles on cupcakes. Colorful hospital walls. Hotel turndown service. None of it is necessary. All of it creates enthrallment. And enthrallment is exactly what separates unforgettable brands from forgotten commodities. Whether you're preparing a Monday morning presentation, a keynote, or a company-wide initiative, this episode gives you the tools to find your North Star — and make it impossible to ignore.

During this energizing EDVIEW360 episode, we welcome Michelle Sullivan—literacy coach, reading interventionist, and creator of The Colorful Classroom—for a conversation about what it truly takes to make evidence‑based literacy instruction engaging, meaningful, and human.Drawing on more than a decade of experience supporting teachers and her signature COLORFUL philosophy, Sullivan shares how educators can bring both joy and rigor to the science of reading. She discusses why engagement is not an “extra,” how intentional use of language and design can deepen learning, and why morphology deserves a bigger place in everyday instruction. Sullivan also offers practical examples teachers can immediately use to help students connect with words, build knowledge, and feel successful as readers.Listeners will hear Sullivan's belief that literacy instruction should be vibrant, accessible, and rooted in research—and when educators blend the art and science of teaching, they create classrooms where every learner can thrive.This conversation is perfect for teachers, literacy coaches, and leaders seeking to elevate instruction, strengthen student engagement, and bring more color—literally and figuratively—into their reading block.What You Will Learn:How to bring joy and engagement back into literacy instruction using Sullivan's COLORFUL approach to instruction along with her blend of creativity and evidence‑based practiceWhy language-rich classrooms accelerate reading growth, and how teachers can intentionally build vocabulary, background knowledge, and discourse into daily routinesThe power of morphology—and why teaching word parts helps all students, especially those who struggle, unlock meaning and confidencePractical ways to design lessons that are both structured and vibrant, ensuring students experience success while staying deeply engagedHow to connect research to real classroom moments, making the science of reading feel doable, human, and energizing for teachersStrategies for supporting diverse learners through routines that honor students' voices, build independence, and create a sense of belongingWhy engagement is not an “extra” but a critical component of effective literacy instruction that strengthens attention, memory, and motivation

We have officially gone too far today, and I blame the Friday energy. What started as an innocent debate about what color your jiz would be if you could choose it somehow spiralled into Meg confessing she completely skipped second base for years. Dan nearly lost his mind, and yes, we closed the week with a literal game of 'Guess the Fart.' You're not ready for this chaos.

The Hidden Struggles Behind Comics: C.J. Standal Explores the True Cost of the Industry For most fans, comics are magic. Colorful worlds. Incredible heroes. Epic adventures. But behind every comic book page lies a reality most readers never see. Late nights. Creative battles. Financial uncertainty. And a constant tug-of-war between artistic passion and economic survival. That's exactly what writer C.J. Standal explores in his powerful new book Comics: The Call and the Cost, a thought-provoking collection of essays examining the history and struggles of comic book creators. Standal returns to the Comic Crusaders Podcast with host Al Mega to dive deep into the stories behind the medium. Originally written for the Cartoonist Cooperative Journal, these essays explore the deeper forces shaping the comics industry. The book tackles topics like: • The history of the comic book labor movement • The intersection of art and capitalism • The sacrifices creators make for their craft • The real-life politics surrounding comics creation One of the most fascinating essays in the collection, "The Cost of Comics: A History of the Comic Book Labor Movement," reveals the often overlooked battles creators have fought for recognition and fair compensation. Another essay explores the artistic and business philosophies of legendary creators Charles Schulz, Jim Davis, and Bill Watterson, examining how each navigated the complex relationship between creativity and corporate influence. Standal's work reminds readers that comics are more than entertainment. They are the product of dedication, resilience, and artistic conviction. The book will be available in print, ebook, and audiobook formats, with narration by Nancy Bober bringing the essays to life in a new medium. For fans of The Comics Journal, TwoMorrows, and comics scholarship, this is an essential read. But even casual readers will find themselves gaining a deeper appreciation for the people who dedicate their lives to making comics. Because behind every panel… There's a creator answering the call—no matter the cost.

Walk into an expensive "Innovation Lab" or High Tech Cutting Edge University Makerspace, and you'll probably see a laser cutter, a 3D printer or two, all kinds of expensive technology and the adjacent software and screens that make it possible. That's cool. But that's also a high barrier to entry. Does it really have to be that way? And how did the maker movement come to sit so deep in pricey STEM territory? You probably know I've always admired the work of Angela Stockman, writing makerspace pioneer. She's been on this podcast several times, and I love what she shares around having students build ideas across modes, using free or inexpensive materials to help them construct concepts, characters, and storylines. In our interview a few years ago, she said: "When we ask kids to build, they typically come up with ideas they wouldn't have otherwise. When we ask kids to build and then talk about what they have built, the complexity of their ideas is usually higher." These feel like very worthwhile goals to me - kids coming up with innovative, complex ideas. But let's be clear, we don't have to ask kids to build on a 3D printer or learn to code in order to help them extend and amplify their thinking through maker tools. Angela has always said that, but the proliferation of high tech makerspaces can be hard to drown out when thinking about this issue. Making is not about having one specific tool. It's about what making can give to kids in terms of their development of ideas, as Stockman suggest above, and in their development as learners too (Cohen). When students make, they make choices, they make mistakes, they recover. Ideally, they develop new skills at the same time that they develop a growth mindset around iterating. Today on the podcast, let's talk about a fun new free tool I've created for you to help your students build their ideas.

Photographer Olaf Heine justifies his powerful decision to shoot Hawaii in black and white, explaining that the monochromatic aesthetic is more "pure and reduced" and timeless, allowing him to focus on the islands' volcanic, harsh, and rugged origins rather than the distracting colors of golden beaches and sunsets. He chose black and white to capture the full spectrum of Hawaii's extremes, balancing the environmental realities of the landscape and volcanoes with the deep sensuality of the local way of living.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Olaf Heinehttps://youtu.be/gSbqszE1XQwhttps://www.theparischongshow.com

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 4-23-2026: Dr. Dawn highlights ARPA-H-funded breakthroughs: Duke researchers created injections enabling cartilage cells to divide and remodel bone, UC Boulder developed intermittent-burst delivery of a repurposed drug that reversed rabbit arthritis in 4-8 weeks, and Columbia printed a living 3D knee using stem cells on biodegradable scaffolding. She notes the agency's budget was cut by $945 million despite requiring human trials within 18 months of funding. A cord blood study across 200 countries links phthalates—found in food packaging, vinyl flooring, shampoos, and toys—to placental disruption and premature birth. Dr. Dawn warns that removing specific chemicals just leads to untested replacements, and urges avoiding microwaving in plastic. An emailer asks about microbiome and exercise motivation. Dr. Dawn describes research showing Veillonella atypica bacteria eat lactate produced during exercise and trigger dopamine production via the vagus nerve, creating a reward loop. Bred "super-runner" mice ran three times longer than average, but antibiotics reduced their running by 21%, implicating microbiome involvement. Dr. Dawn expands on cortisol dynamics: levels should rise gradually from 3 a.m., spike threefold at waking to synchronize hormones, then decline throughout the day. Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated, while burnout from sustained overproduction eventually exhausts the adrenals and disrupts circadian rhythm, requiring 6-12 months to restore. An emailer asks about food-based detoxification for skin and inflammation. Dr. Dawn explains that plant bioflavonoids—originally insecticides—trigger enzyme production that also breaks down synthetic pollutants, with sulfur-containing vegetables (crucifers, onions, garlic) particularly important. Colorful fruits and vegetables scavenge free radicals that damage DNA and collagen. Dr. Dawn explores red and near-infrared light therapy (600-1100nm), which boosts ATP production by energizing cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria. The FDA approved a device for dry macular degeneration, and red light is recommended for chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis. She notes modern buildings filter these wavelengths, potentially starving us of light our bodies evolved to need. Dr. Dawn shares research on unsupervised childhood play, citing psychologist Peter Gray's finding that independent play develops internal locus of control—the belief you can influence outcomes. such as youth anxiety and depression, as children no longer learn to self-soothe through tolerating boredom.

Transcript:No: I hjertet av Oslo, i en park kjent for sine monumentale skulpturer og frodige vårgrønner, danset lyse farger rundt mens påskesolen skinte høyt på himmelen.En: In the heart of Oslo, in a park known for its monumental sculptures and lush spring greens, light colors danced around while the Easter sun shone high in the sky.No: Vigeland Park var fylt med liv denne påsken.En: Vigeland Park was filled with life this Easter.No: Barn lo, voksne vandret blant kunsten, og en maler preget plassen med sine frie linjer og dristige penselstrøk.En: Children laughed, adults wandered among the art, and a painter marked the place with free lines and bold brushstrokes.No: Midt i denne vrimlen sto Eirik, nervene vibrerende som en stram gitarstreng.En: In the midst of this bustle stood Eirik, nerves vibrating like a taut guitar string.No: Ved siden av ham, Gjertrud, med sitt lette smil og ivrige blikk.En: Next to him, Gjertrud, with her light smile and eager gaze.No: Hennes kjærlighet til kunst var kjent, mens Eirik knapt kunne skille en malerpensel fra en tannbørste.En: Her love of art was well known, while Eirik could barely tell a paintbrush from a toothbrush.No: Eirik hadde en plan denne dagen.En: Eirik had a plan this day.No: Han ønsket å imponere Gjertrud, prøve å vise henne at han kunne forstå og sette pris på kunsten hun holdt så kjær.En: He wanted to impress Gjertrud, try to show her that he could understand and appreciate the art she held so dear.No: Kanskje det ville være nok til å be henne på en date.En: Maybe it would be enough to ask her on a date.No: Men, hvordan i alle dager skulle han klarte det?En: But, how on earth was he going to manage that?No: "Se, Eirik," sa Gjertrud og pekte mot den fargerike gatekunstneren som hektisk malte en levende scene på et stort lerret.En: "Look, Eirik," said Gjertrud, pointing to the colorful street artist fervently painting a lively scene on a large canvas.No: "Der er noe du ikke ser hver dag.En: "That's something you don't see every day."No: "Eirik smilte sjenert, prøvde å spille med, men så var det noe som fanget kunstnerens øye.En: Eirik smiled shyly, tried to play along, but then something caught the artist's eye.No: Plutselig ropte hun til Eirik: "Du!En: Suddenly, she called out to Eirik: "You!No: Kom hit!En: Come here!"No: "Før han visste ordet av det, sto Eirik ved kvinnens side.En: Before he knew it, Eirik was standing by the woman's side.No: Hun mumlet på engelsk, energisk og nesten uforståelig.En: She mumbled in English, energetically and almost incomprehensibly.No: "Du vil være med på prosjektet mitt, ikke sant?En: "You want to be part of my project, right?"No: ""Ja, selvsagt," stammet Eirik, uten helt å forstå hva han hadde sagt ja til.En: "Yes, of course," stammered Eirik, not quite understanding what he had agreed to.No: Han så bort på Gjertrud, som så forundret og fascinert på ham.En: He glanced over at Gjertrud, who looked at him, amazed and fascinated.No: Hun var hans publikums eneste medlem, og det var all den oppmuntringen han trengte.En: She was his only audience member, and that was all the encouragement he needed.No: Kunstneren plukket opp en seng av fargerike malingbokser og, med et glimt i øyet, ba Eirik stå stille.En: The artist picked up a set of colorful paint cans and, with a glint in her eye, asked Eirik to stand still.No: Før han kunne protestere, ble han overskylt med en kaskade av livlige farger.En: Before he could protest, he was drenched in a cascade of vibrant colors.No: Malingen fløt nedover fra hodet, nedover skuldrene, overrasket munterheten til de forbipasserende som stoppet for å beundre synet.En: The paint flowed down from his head, over his shoulders, surprising the merriment of passersby who stopped to admire the sight.No: Eirik sto der, dekket i en fargerik regnbue, og latteren runget rundt ham.En: Eirik stood there, covered in a colorful rainbow, and laughter echoed around him.No: Blikket hans møtte Gjertruds øyne.En: His gaze met Gjertrud's eyes.No: Hun lo ikke fra noen vond hensikt, men med en åpen hjertelighet som smittet til ham.En: She wasn't laughing with any ill intent, but with an open-heartedness that was infectious to him.No: Gjertrud klappet og ropte ut: "Det var fantastisk, Eirik!En: Gjertrud clapped and shouted out: "That was amazing, Eirik!No: For en forestilling!En: What a performance!"No: " Hun gikk mot ham, og før han visste ordet av det, holdt hun hånden hans.En: She walked toward him, and before he knew it, she held his hand.No: "Kanskje vi kan utforske mer sammen, men kanskje uten malingsbad neste gang?En: "Maybe we can explore more together, but perhaps without a paint bath next time?"No: "Eirik, fortsatt dryppende av maling og litt forlegen, kunne bare nikke begeistret.En: Eirik, still dripping with paint and a bit embarrassed, could only nod enthusiastically.No: "Gjerne," sa han og så direkte i hennes øyne.En: "I'd love that," he said, looking directly into her eyes.No: "Men jeg lover, ingen flere kunstneriske ulykker.En: "But I promise, no more artistic mishaps."No: "De gikk videre gjennom parken, hånd i hånd, og Eirik hadde lært mer enn bare skulpturene rundt dem.En: They continued through the park, hand in hand, and Eirik had learned more than just about the sculptures around them.No: Han lærte at autentisitet, og de uforutsigbare vendingene i livet, kunne også male et godt inntrykk.En: He learned that authenticity, and the unpredictable turns of life, could also paint a good impression.No: Det uventede ble hans mest verdifulle kunstverk den dagen.En: The unexpected became his most valuable artwork that day.

Send me a message Your content doesn't suck. But you're making two massive mistakes that are killing your reach.I'm speaking on a panel today about the biggest social media mistakes agents make, and I've been thinking about what actually separates content that works from content that dies in the feed. After coaching hundreds of agents and reviewing thousands of posts, it comes down to two things.Mistake #1: You're only focused on education.If it's only educational but not interesting or entertaining, you're missing the mark. The bar has gotten so much higher on social over the last couple years. Educational content used to be enough. Not anymore. There's a ton of great educational content out there, but if it's boring, nobody watches.You need edutainment. Education plus entertainment. Education plus personality.I'm not saying you have to dance or do goofy skits if that's not your style. But it has to be entertaining. You've got to figure out a way within your personality to make it fun.Be yourself plus 20%. Add a little energy. Add voice inflection. Show some personality. Stop overthinking it.I'll give you real examples in this episode:The pothole with googly eyes that went viralThe construction barrel "Utah State tree" post that got massive sharesHow to make educational content actually interestingMistake #2: The beginning of your content sucks.What people see and hear in the first 1-3 seconds is everything. You could nail the delivery later, but if you don't grab their attention upfront, they're scrolling.I break down the 3-step hook formula:Powerful opinion or bold statement (never introduce yourself, never tell them the topic)Context sentence (credibility that tells them why they should listen)Raise the stakes (make them feel the cost of leaving before the payoff)Example: Instead of "Today I'm going to tell you about FHA loans," try "I can get you in this million dollar house for 35K." They're like "what? how?" Now they're hooked.Visuals matter just as much as what you say. Colorful backgrounds. Movement. Show them, don't just tell them. Screen record Google Maps. Pull images from Google. Use AI to create visuals if you need to.This takes practice.
