Podcasts about Averill

This week on Into The Necrosphere, Alan Averill of Primordial returns to the podcast for one of our most thought-provoking conversations to date. We discuss what it means to become a legacy band, why Primordial's lyrics seem more relevant today than they did thirty years ago, the rise of AI and its impact on creativity, and whether heavy metal is still capable of producing artists with genuine authenticity and staying power. We also explore the changing nature of the music industry, the pressures of growing older in extreme metal, why so much modern art feels increasingly disposable, and Alan shares his thoughts on the state of the scene as only he can. On the Weekly News Rant, I check out the latest singles by Hulder, From The Vastland, Terrestrial Hospice, Mordant Rhed, Left To Die and others, debate which modern black metal bands have what it takes to replace the likes of Mayhem, Emperor and Satyricon as genuine festival headliners, countdown my favourite Motörhead songs and, of course, dunk another deserving recipient on my Swirly of the Week.  Plus: Epikoros deliver a fire-and-brimstone debut with “Black Sun Eclipse” and take a thoroughly deserved bow in the Unsanctioned Filth spotlight.   Featured Bands Primordial: https://primordialofficial.bandcamp.com/  Dread Sovereign: https://dreadsovereign.bandcamp.com/  Epikoros: https://epikoros.bandcamp.com/   Razor: https://razorband.bandcamp.com/    Visit intothenecrosphere.com for playlists and more.

In this episode of The Voice of Retail podcast, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with one of retail technology's most accomplished leaders: Julie Averill, former Chief Information Officer of Lululemon and REI, and author of the new book Chief Impact Officer: Real Transformation Comes from Human, Not Just Artificial Intelligence. Joining the conversation is Menachem Salinas, Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Nimble, the expert AI web search platform making live web data enterprise-grade. A self-described "serial retail technologist," Julie's career spans the defining chapters of modern retail technology. She spent a decade at Nordstrom leading pioneering omnichannel initiatives, drove a technology transformation as CIO of REI, and then took a leap to a then-$2 billion company called Lululemon — where, over eight years as CIO, she helped power the brand's growth to $10 billion. Today, she runs her own advisory business focused on enterprise AI adoption, and her new book makes the case that real transformation comes from people, not just technology. Drawing on years of parsing signal from noise in the CIO chair, Julie delivers a masterclass in AI reality-checking. Her verdict on where retail stands in the AI journey? "Maybe the first inning." She argues the technology itself is now the easy part — the real reasons so many AI pilots fail are data quality, governance, workflow readiness and organizational capability. Julie shares the exact questions she asks to separate a slick demo from a solution built to survive contact with a real omnichannel operation: Whose data does this run on? What workflow actually changes, and for whom? Who owns the errors? What does this cost at scale? And she tells a cautionary tale of a board-driven AI pitch that promised everything — and why "yes, we can do everything" is the surest sign of an immature vendor. Julie also maps the future of the CIO role itself: from technology gatekeeper to curious, strategic business enabler. With AI tools now arriving through the browser, control is gone — the new job is curation, education and helping executives tell what's real. The businesses that win, she argues, will be the ones that learn to evolve continuously and dream about what was previously impossible. Menachem Salinas adds the vendor-side perspective, explaining how Nimble delivers real-time competitive pricing, digital shelf monitoring and out-of-stock intelligence across thousands of retail sites — and why he believes agentic commerce will transform e-commerce within twelve months. His candid ShopTalk Barcelona assessment: even the world's biggest brands rate no better than five out of ten on AI data readiness.

AI will not fix a business that does not understand itself.In this episode, John sits down with Julie Averill, founder of Gold Thread and former CIO of lululemon, to talk about real transformation, AI adoption, technology leadership, and what companies need to understand before they rush into the next big platform shift. Julie also shares lessons from her time leading technology through major growth at lululemon, digital transformation at Nordstrom, and the early signals that told her when a system problem was really a culture problem.If you are leading sales, technology, enablement, or go-to-market strategy, this episode gives you a practical look at why AI has to serve the business, why trust still drives innovation, and why the companies that win will understand what makes them truly different before the market decides for them.Want to build the kind of team and operating model that can keep up with where business is heading next?

Most operators think insurance is about protection. Buy a policy, transfer the risk, move on. But what if that model is quietly draining your margins instead of protecting them? Because here's the reality: in aviation, it's not the catastrophic losses that kill your business; it's everything else.  The unexpected maintenance event that isn't covered. The operational hiccups you don't want to claim. The hangar rash that never makes it to a claim, and you just absorb it. The constant, low-level financial hits that feel too small to insure but too frequent to ignore. Over time, it's death by a thousand cuts, and traditional insurance was never built to solve that. What's starting to emerge instead is a different mindset: stop thinking of insurance purely as a cost center, and start treating it as a financial strategy. Not to replace the traditional market, but to take back control of everything it leaves behind.  Because when you structure it right, the same dollars you're used to losing can actually compound back into your business, building reserves, improving margins, and turning risk management into a profit lever instead of a drain. That's exactly what captive insurance allows operators to do: take control of the risks traditional aviation insurance won't cover and structure them in a way that actually works for the business. John C. Averill and Andy Shuttleworth are two experts working at the intersection of aviation risk and captive insurance.  In this episode, we talk about how operators can formalize self-insurance, why most people misunderstand what captives actually are, and how some businesses are quietly using them to retain profits, smooth volatility, and build long-term financial resilience.   You'll also learn; Why the real financial pressure in aviation doesn't come from where most operators think What actually sits outside traditional aviation insurance and why it matters more than it seems The shift from transferring risk to structuring it How some operators are starting to take control of costs they've always absorbed Why certain risks never make it into a policy and what can be done about them The difference between reacting to losses and designing for them Why the most sophisticated companies approach insurance very differently What changes when risk starts to show up on your balance sheet instead of someone else's How to think about control, claims, and costs in a completely different way Why this isn't a short-term fix, and what happens if you commit to it Where this approach extends beyond aviation into broader operational risk The biggest misconception about captives and why most people misunderstand them   About the Guests  John C. Averill is a Senior Vice President and risk advisor specializing in aviation, aerospace, and defense. His work sits at the intersection of operational risk, insurance, and legal frameworks, allowing him to design highly tailored solutions for complex exposures that traditional brokerage models often miss. With additional expertise in professional liability and environmental underwriting, John brings a broader, more integrated lens to risk, helping operators structure programs that go beyond standard coverage. He is part of a senior-level team with over 100 years of combined experience in insurance and risk management, including more than 50 years focused specifically on aerospace. Connect with John on LinkedIn.  Andy Shuttleworth is a Risk Management and Regulatory Compliance Consultant and the founder of Core Resilience LLC. With over 35 years of experience across federal and state agencies, he brings a deeply practical understanding of how risk, compliance, and operations intersect. Andy works with businesses to assess and strengthen their regulatory compliance, threat mitigation, and risk management strategies, offering an independent, unbiased perspective on where systems break down and how to improve them. His focus is on helping organizations protect not just their assets, but their long-term operational resilience and reputation.

Hey friends! I'm officially off getting married and soaking up every second of it. I'll be back with brand new episodes on May 4th, but in the meantime I'm bringing back one of your all-time favorite episodes for you to enjoy. Thanks for all the love and support. It means everything. Now let's get into it!Gabby's running journey didn't start with a finish line goal or a desire to be fast. It started after stepping away from Division I college sports, when the structure she'd built her identity around suddenly disappeared and movement no longer had a clear purpose.In this episode, Gabby walks us through what it looked like to relearn running on her own terms. From seeing running as punishment growing up, to signing up for a half marathon on a whim, to slowly building confidence through consistency, community, and letting go of pace expectations. Over the course of a few years, that approach led her to her first marathon at the Every Woman's Marathon in Arizona, where she focused on fueling well, smiling often, and finishing strong without a time goal attached.We talk about pace inclusivity, why slow and steady actually works, how community shaped her training and race day, and what it meant for her to cross the finish line feeling proud without tying her identity to one result. This is a conversation about rewriting what success in running can look like, especially for former athletes learning how to move without a coach or a clock.Follow along with the show:

Averill Earls is an associate professor in history at St. Olaf's College and her research focuses on sexuality and modern Ireland. Her writing has appeared in the Journal of the History of Sexuality, Historical Reflections (in the top-visited issue of the journal to date), Perspectives Magazine, Nursing Clio, and Notches Blog. In 2021 she was awarded the Judith R. Walkowitz Article Prize for her 2020 article, "Solicitor Brown and His Boy." Prof. Earls is also one of the four feminist historians and award-winning podcasters who founded Dig: A History Podcast in 2017. Love in the Lav: A Social Biography of Same-Sex Desire in Ireland, 1922-1972 (Temple UP, 2025) tells the unexpected, sometimes heartbreaking, stories of Dublin's men who desired men and the Gardaí who policed them. The book uncovers Ireland's queer lives of the past. Averill Earls investigates how same-sex-desiring men lived and loved in a country where their sexuality was illegal and seen as unnatural. Across seven social biographical chapters, each highlighting individuals at the nexus of these histories, Earls constructs a narrative of experiences through the larger contexts in which they are embedded. She uses courtroom testimonies, police records, and family history archives as well as “educated speculation” to show how structures governing male same-sex desire in Ireland played out on the bodies of the men who desired men, the teen boys who sold sex to men, and the way the Catholic-nationalist ethos shaped the Gardaí who policed them. Love in the Lav examines the experiences of people such as cabbie James Hand, who was put on trial for gross indecency, to provide a window into the queer working-class subculture of 1930s Dublin. Earls also focuses on issues of consent, especially with teens, and the unregulated queer Irish world of public figures, including Micheál Mac Liammóir, Hilton Edwards, Ronald Brown, and John Broderick. By examining twentieth-century Ireland through the lived experiences of ordinary same-sex-desiring Irish men who were relegated to obscurity by Irish society, Earls reveals the contradictions, possibilities, and magnitude of postcolonial Irish Catholic nationalism.

Averill Earls is an associate professor in history at St. Olaf's College and her research focuses on sexuality and modern Ireland. Her writing has appeared in the Journal of the History of Sexuality, Historical Reflections (in the top-visited issue of the journal to date), Perspectives Magazine, Nursing Clio, and Notches Blog. In 2021 she was awarded the Judith R. Walkowitz Article Prize for her 2020 article, "Solicitor Brown and His Boy." Prof. Earls is also one of the four feminist historians and award-winning podcasters who founded Dig: A History Podcast in 2017. Love in the Lav: A Social Biography of Same-Sex Desire in Ireland, 1922-1972 (Temple UP, 2025) tells the unexpected, sometimes heartbreaking, stories of Dublin's men who desired men and the Gardaí who policed them. The book uncovers Ireland's queer lives of the past. Averill Earls investigates how same-sex-desiring men lived and loved in a country where their sexuality was illegal and seen as unnatural. Across seven social biographical chapters, each highlighting individuals at the nexus of these histories, Earls constructs a narrative of experiences through the larger contexts in which they are embedded. She uses courtroom testimonies, police records, and family history archives as well as “educated speculation” to show how structures governing male same-sex desire in Ireland played out on the bodies of the men who desired men, the teen boys who sold sex to men, and the way the Catholic-nationalist ethos shaped the Gardaí who policed them. Love in the Lav examines the experiences of people such as cabbie James Hand, who was put on trial for gross indecency, to provide a window into the queer working-class subculture of 1930s Dublin. Earls also focuses on issues of consent, especially with teens, and the unregulated queer Irish world of public figures, including Micheál Mac Liammóir, Hilton Edwards, Ronald Brown, and John Broderick.

Averill's Book, Love in the Lav Series, Episode #2 of 4. In 1746, Charles Hamilton, a doctor, married Mary Price in Wells, England. Hamilton was a traveling doctor, selling patent medicines and dubious medical advice, and had met Mary when staying in a rented room. After the wedding, Mary joined Charles in traveling and selling cures for a couple of months until suddenly, she decided she no longer wanted to be married – and to get out of the relationship, Mary went to the local court and reported that her husband Charles Hamilton was, in fact, a woman. The revelation that Hamilton was assigned female at birth but lived their life as a man enchanted the public, and, as much as something could in the 18th century, went viral. Hamilton's story was then immortalized in a fictionalized story called The Female Husband. Thus, the concept of a “female husband,” or a person assigned female at birth but living as a man, including serving as a husband, entered into the consciousness of the Anglo-American world. The history of female husbands like Charles Hamilton and many others prove not only that queerness has always existed, but that gender itself has always has been messy, flexible, and contested.

Send us a textIn this episode, landscape and coastal photographer Lucie Averill joins Angela Nicholson to talk about her slow, mindful approach to photography and creativity. Based in Cornwall, Lucie creates calming, reflective images inspired by the changing light and moods of the coast. Her photography is shaped by a deep connection to place and a commitment to slowing down and really noticing her surroundings.Lucie's journey into photography really began with a digital camera in the early 2000s. She was working full-time as a teacher, but the ability to instantly see her images sparked a fascination that grew into a passion. Eventually, she stepped away from teaching to pursue photography full time.Angela and Lucie explore how observation and patience are essential parts of her process. Lucie talks about the importance of returning to the same locations, watching light change and ideas emerge. Even when she doesn't make an image, the time spent looking helps lay the foundation for future creativity.The conversation also touches on how a printing workshop helped Lucie discover the right paper and techniques to bring out the best in her images, turning printing into a deeply rewarding part of her practice.Lucie's story is a gentle reminder that success in photography doesn't have to be fast or driven. Instead, slowing down and seeing more deeply can lead to richer creative expression and a more meaningful path.TakeawaysSlow observation improves your photography – Time spent looking helps build awareness and stronger creative instincts.Repetition builds understanding – Returning to familiar places helps you learn how light, tides and landscapes shift.Printing enhances creative clarity – Seeing your work on paper helps you understand it more deeply and refine your process.Success doesn't need speed – A fulfilling creative life can grow naturally when you follow your own pace.Photograph for yourself first – Work that's rooted in your own passions and observations often resonates the most.Let ideas develop over time – There's no need to rush; creativity often emerges from quiet and thoughtful reflection.Connect with LucieWebsiteInstagramFacebookSupport the show

Alan Averill is best known for being the vocalist and front man for Irish Metal legends Primordial, but he is also an engaging, fascinating, intelligent, politically minded, well-read, heavily tattooed bad-ass.  Alan is a singular voice in metal, an anomaly in some ways.  I Hate Music considers him to be one of the best front men in metal, and his voice, and his band, to be one of the most unique and underrated.    With Alan we discuss the erasure of cultures, the significance of travel, the importance of heritage, and the obsessive nerdism that comes with being a lifer in the metal scene.   We also dig into a listener email, and catch up on some current happenings. **Note:  This was recorded before the American Presidential Election in 2024.   -------------------- Hosts:  Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

EMG's Book Sentimental State. Episode #4 of 4. In this episode, Marissa and Averill uncover the harrowing real story behind a wave of forced migration from early 18th century Paris to the struggling French territories along the Gulf Coast. Driven by underpopulation woes and a charlatan's get-rich-quick scheme, over 100 women were quite literally rounded up from prisons and poorhouses under dubious accusations of "debauchery" and "prostitution." Their journey into this cruel human trafficking operation is laid bare through the meticulous research of historian Joan DeJean. You'll hear how an ambitious and ruthless warden conspired with corrupt officials to clear Paris' streets by falsifying charges against poor servant girls, foreigners, and even women simply deemed "inconvenient" by their own families. Branded as criminals but guilty of little more than poverty, these so-called "corrections girls" were then abandoned in hellish conditions at the Crown's fledgling outposts with no provisions. Yet many survived through grit and resilience, going on to become founders of New Orleans' aristocracy. Find transcripts and show notes at: digpodcast.org Learn more about your ad choices.
