And on YouTube @BumpInTheRoadPodcast The world rewards our external achievements-titles, conforming to norms, possessions. But does our personal authenticity align with such a viewpoint? Bridget Beldin achieved the "American dream"-a good job, a loving family, and even a Volvo station wagon! But she felt an unshakeable emptiness. Something was missing. So she embarked on a journey to uncover her true self. 'What are the keys to navigating such a life shaking transition? For Bridget, it meant discovering the importance of being value-driven and staying true to oneself. Learning to listen to one's intuition is vital, particularly in the face of fear. But the fear can also be a catalyst for change. Leaning into it by cultivating mindfulness and creating a space for stillness, answers from our inner wisdom can emerge. Bridget's journey is a reminder that joy comes from within and is a choice we make every day. As she navigates her own mid-life, she inspires us to find our own joy as well.

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 7! Our guest today is Lydia Kang, a professor, medical doctor, and acclaimed author, Her latest book is K-Jane, and it's the story of Jane Choi, a typical Nebraskan teen who loves Husker football and is a total banana. That all changes when her parents find out they're expecting a baby, and Jane goes on a mission to become an expert… or at least more knowledgeable about her Korean heritage and pop-culture. From K-pop to K-dramas, through Korean Food and Language, and pretty much K-everything, Jane immerses herself in it. Released on October 21, 2025, K-Jame was received a Starred Kirk's Review and was selected as a Kirkus Best Young Adult Book of 2025. Lydia writes young adult fiction, adult fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. The practicing physician and associate professor of Internal Medicine has also gained a reputation for helping fellow writers with their medical accuracy in their writing.  Her previous work includes Opium and Absinthe, Star Wars: Cataclysm, The November Girl, and Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything (one of your favorite nonfiction books). In our conversation, Lydia shares her journey to authorship, how she writes authentic awkward teen moments, what it means to be Asian American, and so much more.  To learn more about Lydia, you can visit her website lydiakang.com, follow her instagram @lydiakang, read her poetry and essays, and of course buy any of her books.

Spencer Jakab is an award-winning Wall Street Journal investing columnist with 30 years of finance experience who transformed from emerging markets research director into a financial journalist exposing how everyday investors repeatedly get fleeced by Wall Street's latest schemes.Episode Sponsor: Fiscal AI is a modern data terminal that gives investors instant access to twenty years of financials, earnings transcripts, and extensive segment and KPI data—use my link for a two-week free trial plus 15% off: https://fiscal.ai/talkingbillions/03:00 - Spencer's origin story: Growing up in Queens as son of Hungarian refugees, discovering investing through Peter Lynch's "One Up On Wall Street" in college, despite his late father's unsuccessful attempts to spark his interest earlier.08:00 - The accidental career path: Taking every finance class at Columbia, landing in emerging markets analysis covering post-Iron Curtain privatizations, then pivoting to Wall Street Journal journalism after a chance plane conversation led to same-day writing test and job offer.15:00 - GameStop reality check: The meme stock phenomenon wasn't the democratizing revolution portrayed on social media—it was another example of retail investors getting manipulated while believing they were "sticking it to the man."25:00 - The casino-fication of investing: How Robinhood and app-based platforms gamified trading with confetti animations and frictionless execution, making speculation feel like a mobile game rather than serious wealth-building.35:00 - Why passive beats active: Spencer explains the brutal math—only 11% of active fund managers beat the market over 30 years, and individual investors perform even worse due to fees, taxes, and behavioral mistakes.45:00 - The finfluencer trap: Social media rewards reckless investing behavior because outrageous bets generate more engagement than boring, sensible advice—creating dangerous incentive structures that harm followers.60:00 - Bots and manipulation: Modern markets face new threats from AI-generated social media campaigns pumping meme coins and stocks, making it nearly impossible to distinguish genuine sentiment from coordinated manipulation.67:00 - Defining success: Spencer's powerful reflection on career choices—turning down potential hundreds of millions to do work he loves, echoing Warren Buffett's definition of success as having people genuinely care about you when you're gone.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC. All statements and opinions expressed are based upon information considered reliable although it should not be relied upon as such.

Brute 1976 is a solid horror movie that throws us back to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes days where there are desert-dwelling psychos who kill with thrill. The campiness of the classic group further mimics the bohemian feel of characters, each of whom personifies those slasher stereotypes we know and love. I can honestly say you will be afraid of those weekend getaways where everyone is targeted. Brute 1976 left me completely full on the type of horror I love. Sarah French: the award-winning actress who has been in more independent horror movies than I can count, she is what I would call pure talent. Not only has she impressed me her ability to act in every role given, but she has also left the impression that no matter what it takes, she will get the job done. Her role in Brute 1976 as Sunshine has definitely lit up the screen with her iconic gift to grab the essence of that character and bring her to life. If you have not seen this movie, I highly recommend it… If you want to travel back in time to revisit your love for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes, then you have to see this spot-on replica of the imaginative storylines. Brute 1976 is now on Digital: Tubi, Amazon Prime Video, Fandango, Apple Tv and many more platforms. If you're a fan of 70s horror, then you have to see this! Make sure to stop by Sarah's Facebook and Instagram pages to show her some “Brute” love and support.

Late last year, the winners of the 2025 Prime Minister's Prizes for Excellence in Science Teaching were announced. Each year, the 2 prizes – one for a primary school educator and one for a secondary school educator – recognise achievements in STEM teaching. For 2025, the winner for primary school teaching is Paula Taylor, Executive Teacher in STEM at the Academy of Future Skills within the ACT Education Directorate. The secondary school educator recognised is Matt Dodds, Biology and Physics Teacher at Glen Innes High School in New South Wales. We sat down with both of them at the beginning of the 2026 school year to hear all about the work they were recognised for. It was such a delight to hear about the teachers that had an impact on them when they were younger, the lesson activities that are a hit in their science classrooms, and how they're sharing their knowledge with other educators. Host: Dominique Russell Guests: Paula Taylor, Matt Dodds

In South Asian literature and Sufi poetry, the bird 'Bulbul' represents love, devotion and the soul's journey toward freedom. British-Indian dancer Aakash Odedra draws on that imagery in his production 'Songs of the Bulbul', which was performed at The Arts Centre Melbourne during his Australian tour. He spoke to SBS's NITV about Kathak, cross-cultural influences and the responsibility of artists working within classical traditions today.

What if grit isn't about pushing harder but about knowing when to pivot, pause, and play the long game? In this episode, I sit down with Joel Goldberg, longtime Kansas City Royals announcer, speaker, and author, to pull back the curtain on what high-performing athletes can teach us about resilience, failure, and sustained success in business and life. Drawing from decades inside professional sports, Joel shares the real, behind-the-scenes moments you never see in post-game interviews… the slumps, the setbacks, and the quiet decisions that separate those who burn out from those who endure. We dig into what it actually means to "manage failure," why baseball might be the ultimate teacher of resilience, and how grit shows up in unexpected ways. Along the way, Joel shares unforgettable stories of players who refused to quit, leaders who stayed disciplined when no one was watching, and the mindset shifts that allow people to keep moving forward when the outcome feels uncertain. Topics We Cover in This Episode:  Why failure isn't the problem, but how you process it might be The hidden habits elite performers rely on long before success shows up How to tell the difference between working harder and working smarter What "grit" really looks like behind the scenes of professional sports Why rest, recovery, and off-seasons are strategic, not lazy The subtle ways resilience shows up in relationships and trust-building How staying open to new approaches can change your entire trajectory If this conversation sparked something in you, don't let it end here. Take a moment to reflect on where you might be chasing the same result the same way and what your next move could be instead.

As a biographer, Judy has dedicated her work to uncovering the stories of women who have made significant contributions to history, particularly in the realm of health activism. Her latest book, "Radical Sisters," highlights the lives of influential figures such as Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder, showcasing how their personal battles with breast cancer helped to ignite a movement that demanded attention and respect for women's health issues. One of the most striking aspects of our discussion is Judy's insight into the emotional courage that women exhibit. She argues that while traditional definitions of courage often lean towards physical bravery, the emotional strength displayed by women in their fight against illness and societal norms is equally significant. This theme resonates throughout her work, as she emphasizes the need for women to speak up and share their stories, transforming their experiences into powerful narratives that inspire others. This episode is not just a testimony to one woman's journey; it's a celebration of the strength and courage found in the collective experiences of women throughout history. Tune in to hear Judy's insights and to be inspired to share your own story, because every narrative matters. It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book!

A riotious comic novel of ideas, Seven tells the story of an unnamed philosopher plunged into the strange world of Theodoros Apostalakis: dentist, poet, pursuer of lost things, and obsessive player of 'Seven', a revered board game whose champions struggle to hold onto what is most valuable in human life in the face of Artificial Intelligence. Blending academic satire, travel writing, farce, and philosophy into a singular, intoxicating brew, Seven is a literary novel that stretches the boundaries of the form and cannot be adequately explained in a bilateral podcast interview with the author: nevertheless, we attempt to do so in this episode.

In today's on Girls On Film we're unpacking The Perfect Neighbor - a powerful Netflix documentary that's up for an Oscar and a BAFTA. It investigates the shooting of Ajike Owens, a mother of four who was beloved in her tight-knit community in Florida. Owen's neighbour shot her in 2023, after a years-long campaign of harassment that sewed division in their shared neighbourhood. Using police body-cam footage, the documentary pieces together the events that led to this tragedy and asks important questions about what enabled it to happen. Anna sits down with its director and producer Geeta Gandbhir to talk about the making of this tough and urgent film, why its story needs to be brought to the screen, and how filmmaking like this can be a tool for social change. This episode is in partnership with Netflix. The Perfect Neighbor is on Netflix now.

Andrew Zimmern is an Emmy-winning, James Beard Award-winning chef, television host, author, and global food advocate. Recognized from the wildly popular show Bizarre Foods, Andrew explores culture through cuisine. And yet before the success, Andrew's life was marked by addiction, homelessness, and hard-won second chances that eventually led him towards his purpose. Today, Andrew shares how curiosity saved his life, why asking for help became his turning point, and how food became the lens through which he learned to see people, cultures, and himself more clearly. He opens up about childhood trauma, addiction and recovery, forgiveness, and how choosing "and" instead of "but" can change the way we hold both pain and hope at the same time. My friends, if you've ever felt stuck in your past, ashamed of your mistakes, or unsure how to begin again, this conversation is for you. You'll leave this episode reminded that you are not your worst chapter, that curiosity can reopen closed doors, and that second chances are not rare… they're available to anyone brave enough to ask for help and keep going.

If you haven't seen the Apple TV Series "Drops of God", you must change that quickly. This is, in my opinion, the single best wine show/movie ever done. It's not hokey, it shows wine in a realistic and good light, and it's a cool story.   The show, whose first season dropped in 2023, won the International Emmy Awards for Best Drama Series and has been praised for its beautiful cinematography, skilled acting, and accurate portrayal of certain elements of the wine world. It's actually based on a Japanese manga series of the same name that was wildly popular.    Season one was so successful that Drops of God was renewed for a second season, which is currently unfolding week after week on Apple TV. Season one is still available for you to watch if you missed it.  In this show, I sit down with Sebastien "Seb" Pradal, who was the man behind all the wine knowledge in this show. He worked with the writers and actors to get all the facts and details of the wines right.    Although he won the very prestigious Best Young Sommelier of France in 1997, Seb took the entrepreneurial route instead of working as a somm. He leads a wine distribution and consulting agency, owns the fine dining restaurant La Petite Régalade in Paris, where he showcases French gastronomy and highlights independent producers and cool wines, and he imports French wines into Mexico and Colombia.   He was selected by the writers working on "Drops of God" to help them make the series true to the wine world in a non-snobby way. He was charged with making all wine-related activities authentic, and we worked closely with the actors to teach them about wine, wine tasting, and the wine world (he told me offline that the actors now order and drink wine regularly and know their way around a list!).   This podcast will give you a rare glimpse into why this show is so successful in portraying the wine world when many others have fallen short. And that glimpse really is all about Seb Pradal and his contributions to the show. He is a delightful person and shares some fun insider information about the inner workings of how a production of this caliber gets made.    As promised, here are the links we mention in the show: Seb's Paris restaurant:  La Petite Régalade Georgian wine Seb calls his "Grail": Marani Ruispiri, Giorgi Aladashvini Information on Lignage grape: Lignage and Clos du Tue-Boeuf     Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   This show is brought to you by my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access – THE place to discover your next favorite bottle.

As our nation navigates turbulent times, what can artists do to effect change? Award-winning composer and Rochester native Adolphus Hailstork has been outspoken about this question, especially when it comes to injustices against African Americans. "These are the tragedies and triumphs of a people who have been beaten up for 400 years. Does anyone speak for them? Who writes pieces that speak for the existence of African Americans in the United States?" he asks. "I'll take on that job.'" Hailstork's work blends African, American, and European traditions. In recent years, his pieces like “A Knee on the Neck” — an oratorio in tribute to George Floyd — have made political statements. He'll be in Rochester this weekend for a choral concert in his honor, but first, he joins us on “Connections” to discuss the intersection of art and politics. This conversation is part of WXXI's celebration of Black History Month. Our guests: Adolphus Hailstork, award-winning composer Lee Wright, director of music ministry at Downtown United Presbyterian Church, and founding artistic director of First Inversion choral ensemble The selections from "A Knee on the Neck" heard in this broadcast are attributed to:Adolphus Hailstork, composerStanford Symphony Orchestra and Stanford Symphonic ChorusPaul Phillips, conductorStephen M.

Climate Storyteller barely touches on the work that Maya Lilly has been a part of in the climate change world; she's part of the Emmy Award Winning The Years Project. She's been an activist since she was 15. She's a Producer, Speaker, and Climate Storyteller. She was named to the Grist 50 for revolutionizing Hollywood's approach to Climate Storytelling. She uses storytelling as a force for justice, empathy and real climate action. "Maya's voice remains unmistakable, credible, courageous and profoundly human." - this was taken from the Grist 50 write up of her - my eyes couldn't let go of profoundly human...I saw Maya's profile on the Podmatch site, and was so curious, but also felt intimidated by the breadth of her work. Thankfully, I was approached by her PR Rep. Maya's life is fascinating, and she has so much to share! We'd love for you to share The Years Project documentary Years of Living Dangerously with your people. This project is partnered with Hollywood actors who also want to make a difference, so they're using their celebrity to help bring these climate topics to light. I've linked a bonus segment below - there's an entire season available for free on YouTube!We also talked about things we can do to help - Maya gave a list of things, like 1) VOTING - voting in climate politicians, 2) divesting from fossil fuels and electrifying everything, 3) boycotting companies slowing or reversing progress, 4) eating more plant based, and 5) finding out if our banks are supporting causes we care aboutFollow Maya Lilly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gunghoeco/Here's an extensive list of Maya's workHere's a clip of The Years of Living Dangerously, with my celebrity crush, Harrison Ford: https://youtu.be/wzD4Xx3drAI?si=kyRiBA1j9-rWO-zEhttps://bankforgood.org/ so we know who and what our money supports Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

Bronwyn Schweigert's journey to becoming an anger expert is both inspiring and enlightening. After experiencing two severe depressive episodes, she discovered that a common thread among her struggles and those of her clients was disassociated anger. Anger, she explains, is not just an emotion to be feared or suppressed; it is a vital signal that can lead to healing and personal growth. Many of us have been conditioned from a young age to disassociate from our anger, often leading to mental and physical health issues. Bronwyn shares how this disassociation can manifest in various ways, including autoimmune disorders and chronic pain. Healthy anger, she points out, is about assertiveness rather than aggression, allowing us to express our needs and protect ourselves. This shift in perspective is crucial for anyone struggling with feelings of shame or inadequacy. Bronwyn also discusses the relationship between anger and victimhood, explaining how unresolved anger can lead to a cycle of shame and self-betrayal. By confronting our anger and processing it, we can break free from this cycle and cultivate healthier relationships with ourselves and others. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, personal development, or simply looking for ways to navigate their emotions. It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book! What they're saying: "This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys. It is a book of hope and wisdom for all of us facing a bump in the road." –Pragito Dove "Pat has woven together beautiful stories of life setbacks that have been transformed into spiritual growth.

Andrea Beaty is an award-winning children's author. Before she became known for her curious and clever characters in Rosie Revere, Engineer, and Ada Twist, Scientist, she was on track for a career in STEM. In college, Beaty studied biology and computer science, and then went on to work at a software company. Her start in writing came when she volunteered to write a tech support newsletter for a customer audience. The job helped Beaty hone her skills as a writer and copy editor years before she decided to try her hand at fiction. She started by writing stories inspired by the books she read to her kids before getting published in the 2000s. Since then, Beaty's work has landed her on the New York Times Best Sellers list multiple times and has even been adapted into an award-winning Netflix animated series. She often credits her time as a technical writer as what gave her the skills to break down big concepts and life lessons for kids. Now, more than 20 years after her first book was written, Beaty shows no signs of slowing down with more stories on the way this year.

Mollie was once a celebrated LA chef who created a series of vegan restaurants that were wildly popular. Her commitment to veganism naturally led to experiments in sustainable vegan farming. But, with the practical experience of running an organic regenerative farm, Mollie found that a strictly vegan approach just wouldn't work. The challenges she faced included the harsh realities of nature . The necessity of using organic fertilizers sourced from conventional farming systems (which included animal parts), forced her to confront the contradictions in her beliefs. She discovered that her idealistic view of a completely vegan farm was unrealistic. As she tried to reconcile the conflicts in her beliefs, she receiived a $25 million offer for her restaurants. All she had to do was run them for a few more months, and she would have the financial stability of her dreams. But the year was 2020, and when her California restaurants were forced to close, the offer vanished. Where does one go from here? Mollie's answer to this impossible situation involves resilience, personal transformation and a deep commitment to her evolving truth. This is a powerful conversation about the importance of being open to changing beliefs and perspectives, and having the courage to believe in oneself. It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book!
