Every once in a while, you meet an athlete whose presence doesn't match the roster listing. Someone listed at 5'11… but plays like she's 6'3. Someone who doesn't just score points — she controls possessions, shifts momentum, and changes the energy of a gym.That's Madi Hill.A Class of 2027 standout from Owasso, Oklahoma, Madi has already surpassed 1,000 career points and 500 rebounds — and she's still evolving. But what separates her isn't just production. It's leadership. It's versatility. It's edge.Madi has been around basketball her entire life, but the game truly became hers around age 12 when AAU competition changed everything. Traveling. Facing stronger opponents. Being challenged instead of comfortable. That exposure didn't intimidate her — it sharpened her. That's when she realized she didn't just like basketball. She loved it.On paper, “5'11 forward” might raise questions. On film, there are none.Madi rebounds like a true post presence — especially on the offensive glass. She embraces contact. Finishes through traffic. Competes on every possession. But she's not limiting herself to one identity. She understands the next level demands versatility. Her high school system has her playing more on the perimeter, developing ball handling, decision-making, and shooting consistency. She isn't waiting to adjust later. She's preparing now.One of the most defining traits of her game doesn't show up in a stat line — her voice.“I try to be the loudest on the floor because that's something nobody can take away from you.”That's leadership. She communicates. She encourages. She steadies tense moments. She brings energy without relying on trash talk. She leads through presence.Basketball has taught her communication, resilience, and a next-play mentality. Mistakes don't linger. Adversity doesn't define her. She resets and moves forward — a mindset that carries beyond sports.And she's not just a basketball athlete.Madi is also a standout volleyball player — a varsity MVP and all-district performer who picked up the sport in seventh grade and quickly made noise. Her explosiveness, timing, and competitiveness translate across sports. At the next level, she projects as a defensive specialist or libero — but no matter the court, the fire is the same.As recruiting begins to heat up, Madi knows exactly what she wants: culture and community. She values programs where teammates are present on visits, where locker room energy is real, and where relationships matter. Fit over flash. Culture over hype. She's open to leaving Oklahoma if the opportunity aligns — distance doesn't scare her. Growth excites her.Her foundation is strong. When asked about her superheroes, she didn't name a Marvel character — she named her parents. Ashley Thompson, Brandon Hill, and her stepparents Emily Hill and Matt Thompson. Her jersey number, 22, carries family legacy — worn by both her grandfather and father. That connection grounds her.Off the court, she values balance. She enjoys time with friends, many of whom are teammates. She tracks recovery with her Oura ring. Loves sushi from “In the Raw” in Tulsa. Creates her own pregame handshake routines. Her theme song? “I'll Wait For You” by Drake.When asked what's next, her answer was simple: play in college and trust God's plan.No theatrics. No noise. Just confidence.Madi Hill isn't just a stat line.She's a leader out of Owasso.A multi-sport competitor.A culture-first recruit.A forward evolving into a complete perimeter threat.And at 5'11, she's proving dominance isn't measured in inches.It's measured in impact.

It's all inside, without the gatekeeping and without the overwhelm.Ashley Thompson transformed cold oatmeal into a powerhouse brand sold in over 12,000 retail locations, scaling MUSH from a farmers market stall to a national favorite with the help of a pivotal Shark Tank deal. Joining Lindsay Pinchuk in this episode, the MUSH founder shares how she left a fast-track finance career at Goldman Sachs at 24 to build a mission-driven business from the ground up, without a business plan, outside funding, or prior food experience.Ashley recounts the early hustle of handmaking oats in her kitchen, demoing at local shops, and delivering products herself, all while using direct customer feedback to refine the brand. She explains how MUSH landed on Whole Foods shelves, survived a Shark Tank-fueled surge that nearly shut down the business, and ultimately scaled through smart automation and a disciplined, capital-efficient approach.This episode shows what shaped Ashley's choices as MUSH grew, from holding off on new products for years to building a team that could support large-scale growth across Target, Costco, and Kroger. She explains what helped her stay focused, how she made decisions with limited resources, and what she's still learning about leading a brand at scale. If you're building something from the ground up, there's a lot here to sit with… and you won't want to miss it!Episode Breakdown:00:00 From Farmers Markets to 12,000 Retail Locations04:20 Quitting Goldman Sachs to Build MUSH from Scratch14:45 Getting into Whole Foods and Landing a 10-Store Trial19:25 Shark Tank Deal with Mark Cuban and Sudden Growth24:35 Surviving the Post-Shark Tank Chaos29:25 Why MUSH Focused on Retail Over DTC34:05 Launching Protein Bars and Expanding the Product Line39:00 Marketing Strategy Behind a National Health BrandConnect with Ashley Thompson:https://www.instagram.com/mushWe're re-launching our newsletter this summer!

Gregorio di Leo, Ashley Thompson"Kintsugi"L'arte di ricostruire la fiduciaBaldini + Castoldiwww.baldinicastoldi.itNon c'è nulla di più reale e necessario della fiducia per vivere bene in una relazione di coppia, in famiglia o al lavoro. Ma a volte succede che qualche cosa si rompa, uno scontro, una frattura, una crepa e va a finire che ci troviamo con i cocci in mano di una relazione importante. Nella cultura giapponese, il kintsugi è una tecnica antichissima che consiste nella riparazione di un oggetto utilizzando un mix di lacche mescolate a polveri di metalli preziosi, come l'oro, che, una volta inserito tra le crepe dei frammenti, dà vita a qualcosa di nuovo, unico e originale. Più prezioso. Abbracciando il significato profondo di quest'arte, Gregorio Di Leo e Ashley Thompson ci invitano a diventare degli artisti delle relazioni. A metterci in gioco e impreziosire i nostri rapporti ogni qualvolta si creano delle crepe. Non sarà facile, né veloce, in alcuni casi nemmeno indolore. È necessario esercitare un ascolto autentico, imparare ad avere conversazioni coraggiose, saper chiedere per primi scusa, e lasciare la porta aperta alla possibilità di perdonare. Sarà necessaria una trasformazione che renderà il legame qualcosa di diverso ma più ricco.Partendo dalla descrizione dei diversi tipi di fiducia possibili, di ciò che, all'interno di un rapporto, la mette in pericolo o in discussione, gli autori ci guidano in un percorso di consapevolezza, apertura, sincerità verso quel cambiamento che ci permetterà di ricostruire un rapporto abbracciando tutte le sue imperfezioni, senza nasconderle, anzi esaltandole per generare nuova bellezza.Ashley Thompson è un'esperta restauratrice che applica i princìpi della creazione artistica ai contesti organizzativi. Ha progettato centinaia di percorsi di apprendimento per importanti aziende italiane e multinazionali, con particolare attenzione ai temi della comunicazione e della gestione dei conflitti.Gregorio Di Leo è uno psicologo, esperto di relazioni e cambiamento organizzativo. Dopo una straordinaria carriera sportiva in cui ha collezionato numerosi titoli mondiali ed europei di arti marziali, ha cofondato Wyde, una scuola che accompagna persone, gruppi e aziende in esperienze uniche di trasformazione che mettono al centro le relazioni umane.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

Among the tunes we've got on tap to share at Sal's Speakeasy this weekend is one with a curious history. A monster AM radio hit in the early 1960s, it actually was originally a jug band tune recorded many decades earlier.Back in the 1920s, a remarkable roots musician named Gus Cannon co-wrote “Walk Right In” for his hot new band, Cannon's Jug Stompers, to record for Victor Records.Already an established entertainer in the first years of commercial recording, Gus Cannon had a life story that reads like a novel. Born in the early 1880s on a plantation in Red Banks, Mississippi, he was 12 years old when his family moved a hundred miles southwest to what was to become the world capitol of all things blues, Clarksdale, Mississippi.Cannon's musical skills developed with little training, but with much innovation. For instance, he is said to have made his own first banjo, crafting it from a frying pan and a raccoon skin. At 15, he ran away from home to begin his career entertaining at sawmills, at levees and at railroad camps throughout the turn-of-the-century Mississippi Delta. Along the way, he taught himself fiddle. And a local musician named Alec Lee showed him how to use a knife blade as a guitar slide, a technique that Cannon adapted to his banjo playing.About 1907 Gus left Clarksdale for the big city of Memphis, where he played in a jug band led by Jim Guffin as well as with established blue and hokum artist Jim Jackson.It also was in Memphis that he met two other up-and-coming musicians — harmonica player Noah Lewis and guitarist Ashley Thompson — with whom he formed Cannon's Jug Stompers. Together they played parties, dances and medicine shows.Soon after that, inspired by the success of the Memphis Jug Band's first records, Cannon took his group to Victor Records to start putting out some discs.Enter The Song By then, the Jug Stompers were joined by Hosea Woods, who could chime in with guitar, banjo and kazoo and provide some vocals. It was with Woods that Cannon wrote and recorded “Walk Right In”.The tune offered great promise for the Stompers. Unfortunately, time wasn't on their side. The recording date was ominous — Oct. 1, 1929 — that is, less than a month before the collapse of the stock market and the beginning of the Great Depression.The Stompers' last recordings were made in 1930 and by the end of that decade, Cannon had effective retired, although he occasionally performed as a solo musician.Folk RevivalNow fast forward to 1962. The folk music revival was in full swing. Erik Darling was an important influence in the early days of the movement. (He had already formed The Tarriers with actor/singer Alan Arkin, hit the Billboard charts with their version of “Banana Boat Song,” and had replaced Pete Seeger in the last days of The Weavers.)In June 1962, Darling formed The Rooftop Singers with two friends with the specific goal of recording an updated version of “Walk Right In.” Darling had a bright new idea for the song. Unlike its juggy 1929 original, his arrangement got its distinctive sound by pairing twin 12-string guitars played in a pounding, percussive style. Their version — released six months later — became a No. 1 hit (and created a fad among folkies for the then-little known 12-string).Initially, writing credits on the record label were allocated solely to Darling and his band mate Bill Svanoe. However, eventually everyone did the right thing: the copyrights were corrected to add Gus Cannon and Hosea Woods' names.The success of The Rooftop Singers' recording — it became an international hit — was a big lift for Cannon, who by then was in his late 70s and fallen on hard times. In fact, the previous winter he'd had to pawn his banjo just to pay his heating bill. For the rest of his life, Cannon now received regular royalties checks as a songwriter.He also saw renewed interest in his music among newly minted folk fans. In 1963 Cannon recorded an album fo Stax Records with fellow Memphis musicians Will Shade (the former leader of the legendary Memphis Jug Band) on jug and Milton Roby on washboard. On the disc, Cannon performed traditional songs and his jug band era compositions and told stories between the tunes.Our Take on the TuneIn Flood years, we came to this song a little late in the game. We started playing it about a dozen years ago — our first recording of it was in the winter of 2010, at the beginning of the second year of our weekly podcasts — and it quickly became such a favorite for Michelle and Charlie that we brought it as the opening track of the band's next studio album, Cleanup & Recovery.Since Michelle will be back with us tomorrow night as the guest artist when we do our monthly show at Sal's Italian Eatery & Speakeasy in Ashland, Ky., we thought it would be fun to bring “Walk Right In” to the mix too. Here, from last week's rehearsal, is the 2023 take on the tune.If you're tooling around this weekend, be sure to walk right in and sit right down at Sal's this Saturday night. We play from 6 to 9 at 1624 Carter Avenue in beautiful downtown Ashland. The video below gives a taste of what's in store: This is a public episode.

More and more women are seeing multiple partners outside of their marriage without lying to their spouses. While an open marriage may not be an affair in the traditional sense, it is another way for women to explore what they want and need from a partner without the lying and subterfuge.  This week's guest "Alice" craved new bodies, new excitement, new experiences, and like many of the women we've talked to in previous episodes, she decided to step out on her husband to find what she wanted. But after Alice had her first sexual encounter outside of her marriage, she chose to tell her husband the truth – and ask him if she could do it again. Now, Alice and her husband are in an open marriage. So, can open marriages be the answer for some women who are considering having an affair? Jo is also joined by Dr. Ashley Thompson and Dr. Lori Gottlieb to weigh in on the positive impact that communication can have on a relationship. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can one partner give you everything? In this episode, we talk to "Monique,” a woman in her fifties who was happy with her husband, but not getting her sexual needs fulfilled by him. "Monique" decided to explore her sexuality and desires outside of her marriage and her affairs have made her a better mother, a better wife, and helped her regain the identity she felt she lost after kids. She says that she thinks her husband might suspect she is having these affairs, but that he doesn't mind because of how they make her a better and more grounded person. Dr. Gail Saltz also joins to discuss the impact motherhood has on women's sexual desire and we speak with sex expert Dr. Ashley Thompson who breaks down the myth that your spouse should be able to fulfill every one of your needs – a falsehood that can place a lot of pressure on a partner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Doubt and fear creep in every single day and you have to block it out, you have to manage it, you have to tackle it because if you think you can, you really can. And if you think you can't, then you can't.” Kristi is thrilled to be sharing this inspiring podcast with Ashley Thompson, Co-Founder and CEO of Mush in this episode of The Irresistible Factor. Mush is a brand of plant-based ready to eat overnight oats that come in a variety of flavors like chocolate, coffee coconut (my favorite), peanut butter, and many more. Ashley went from working in finance in a beautiful office on Wall Street to literally pitching tents and selling overnight oats at farmers markets in Southern California. She is a strong believer in what you eat impacts how you feel, think, and do, and she wanted to tackle a major problem – our physical and mental health in the U.S. Ashley knew she wanted to create a brand that created accessible healthy food. Ashley is all about mindset. She never stopped to think about why it may not work, in fact, she thought there was no way this can't be done. And she was right, mush now has distribution in 11,000 doors with iconic retailers like Whole Foods and Costco. Ashley and Kristi discuss how the business has grown and changed, the challenges of scaling the company, and her approach to investments and boot-strapping. She also talks about the importance of growth and building a solid company before getting carried away with innovation, and the importance of using your resources wisely. “It's amazing that harnessing creativity in content and messaging is really powerful and using common sense when it comes to spending resources and marketing. Those are two of the biggest takeaways I've learned in the journey of trying to get the product off the shelf.”

Ashley Thompson is the Co-Founder and CEO of MUSH, healthy, ready-to-eat cold oats that are plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free, wholesome and delicious. Ashley and her co-founder launched MUSH in 2015, with the conviction that easy, delicious, nutritious food can elevate the world in powerful ways. MUSH products are sold in stores around the country, and directly through their website.    In her conversation with Mickey Cloud, Ashley shares how MUSH got started and what inspired her lifelong journey of nutrition. She also discusses their split between retail and DTC, how they partner with influencers, and how an appearance on a popular TV show changed their business.    In-flight topics: Choosing retail over DTC Solving health issues with food Finding the right messaging for consumers Leveraging influencers in marketing Learning experiences from Shark Tank Navigating relationships with mentors and investors Opportunities for growth   Connect with Ashley: Mush website: https://eatmush.com/  Mush store locator: https://eatmush.com/pages/store-locator  Mush on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mush/?hl=en  Ashley on LinkedIn: ​​https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-thompson-50888626/

Episode 9.2: Show NotesIn part one of our conversation with Ashley Thompson, we covered a lot of ground on the subject of her daughter, Addie, and heard our guest's reflections on her continued journey with grief. Here, Ashley joins us again, and we switch the lens a little, focusing more on her professional life, how her work as a mental health professional has influenced her path, and the impact that losing a child had on her work too.

Episode 37nfeatures a fun conversation with the Keloland Living cohosts Ashley Thompson and Brittany Kaye

Thanks to the international tourism industry most people are familiar with the spectacular ruins of Angkor, the great Cambodian empire that lasted from about the 9th to the early 15th century. We are especially familiar with those haunting images of the face of King Jayavarman VII, represented in the stone sculptures of the Bayon temple in Angkor Thom. Archaeologists and historians tend to relate the history of the Angkorean era through the dynasties of great kings. These are, of course, all male images. But this apparent maleness of the Angkorean state contrasts with one of the paradigms of Southeast Asia as a cultural zone: the comparatively high status of women. Ashley Thompson addresses this apparent contradiction in her new book titled, Engendering the Buddhist State: Territory, Sovereignty and Sexual Difference in the Inventions of Angkor (Routledge, 2016). Among the themes of this rich, challenging, and provocative book is the gendered nature of the Angkorean state. Patrick Jory teaches Southeast Asian History in the School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry at the University of Queensland.
