Part 2 of 2 Bestselling author and award-winning journalist Adam Skolnick returns to chat with us about the mystery of the creative process, why timing is everything in crafting a story, and his much-anticipated debut novel, AMERICAN TIGER. I am joined by my co-host Milena Gonzalez. Adam Skolnick is an author and award-winning journalist who covers travel, adventure and endurance sports, and the environment. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Outside, Wired, Lonely Planet, and Men's Health. He's the author of One Breath: Freediving, Death and the Quest to Shatter Human Limits, and the ghostwriter and audiobook narrator of the bestselling David Goggins memoirs, Can't Hurt Me and Never Finished. A frequent contributor on The Rich Roll Podcast, he lives in Southern California where he was born and raised. His debut novel, American Tiger (available for preorder now, out  December 2, 2025), “Based on true events, rooted in the stunning Southern California landscape, and populated with vivid characters, [the book] is more than a frantic tiger hunt. It's about a child's quest for self-discovery, her stoic father's struggle to come to terms with their past, and the innate wildness of every living thing.” New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert said of the author, "Adam Skolnick is a tireless investigator of the human experience, writes like a dream, and American Tiger is a gorgeous, subtly subversive yarn ringing with truth."

I'm truly thrilled and honored—to be speaking with someone whose presence on screen has shaped decades of storytelling: the timeless and deeply talented Andie MacDowell. For more than forty years, Andie has been captivating audiences with her unmistakable grace, authenticity, and that quiet Southern strength that seems to live at the center of everything she does. Many of us first met Andie as Jane Porter in 'Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan' back in 1984. Since then, she's become part of cinematic history—shining in films like 'Sex, Lies, and Videotape', 'Green Card', 'Groundhog Day', and 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'. These aren't just movies; they're cultural touchstones, and Andie is woven into each one. Her versatility has always been her signature—whether she's bringing heart to a romantic comedy or grounding a dramatic role with sincerity and depth. And today, Andie continues to redefine herself in the award-winning Hallmark series 'The Way Home', where she plays Del Landry, an unshakeable matriarch navigating the complexities of family, memory, love, and yes—time travel. It's a role that feels almost tailor-made for her: warm, wise, layered, and fiercely human. Off-screen, Andie is devoted to the role she holds most dearly: mother of three—Justin, Rainey, and Margaret Qualley—and now a proud grandmother. As one biographer beautifully put it, “Andie MacDowell stands out as a shining example of individuality and tenacity in a world where success often overshadows sincerity.” And today, we get to explore that sincerity up close. Please join me in welcoming the extraordinary Andie MacDowell. ——

Subscribers can dive into exclusive, extended conversations from this podcast! To join the adventure, head to BumpInTheRoad.Substack.com. Roxanne Howe Murphy's latest book, The Four Sacred Portals: Your Journey of Wholeness and Deep Kinship with Life, examines a transformative journey of self-discovery through the lens of the Enneagram and the concept of sacred portals. The Enneagram, a symbol representing the nine personality types, serves as a powerful tool for understanding our unique paths in life. The sacred portals she describes are not just theoretical concepts; they are practical pathways to connect with our inner selves and the world around us. Each portal represents a unique aspect of our journey, from sacred holding to sacred engagement, guiding us toward a more authentic existence. One of the most profound insights shared in this episode is the idea that presence is never automatic. It needs cultivation, particularly in a world that prioritizes external validation, rather than an inner trust in ourselves. If you're seeking guidance on your own path of self-discovery or looking for ways to deepen your understanding of the Enneagram, this episode is a must-listen. Roxanne's wisdom and insights will inspire you to explore the sacred portals within yourself and embrace the journey of wholeness and interconnectedness with all of life. Learn to navigate your journey with purpose, joy, and authenticity. Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation that promises to leave you feeling inspired and empowered.

“Generally you have to choose one and drive to the other. You have to choose either a rural setting or an area that has all these services with it—you walk to the schools, the hospitality, the shops, the medical services. And so one of the key things is it's all here—you just decide which door you're gonna go out.”We're in great company with Steve Nygren, the visionary behind, and steward of Serenbe, an award winning biophilic community on the edge of Atlanta that connects its residents and guests to nature and each other. A place where fresh air, fresh food, and fresh ideas flourish. Whether you come for a weekend escape at The Inn at Serenbe or envision making it home for a lifetime, this community offers a living model of how we can reconnect with what matters most.In this Thanksgiving episode, Steve reminds us that if we want to change the world, we can start in our own backyards—sharing how his family's dedication to protecting their land has blossomed into a movement inspiring communities around the globe to live in harmony with nature.Top Takeaways[1:45] Listen as Steve's story comes full circle, from farm roots through urban hospitality ownership, ultimately back to the land where he planned to raise his family—only to discover it was threatened by urban sprawl and desperately in need of a creative solution.[4:30] “ The effort was to not convince one side to come over to the other, but rather find a solution where each group could get more, that we could get a higher value for the land than they had ever thought they could, and to preserve more of it than we ever thought possible.” [11:10] With English countryside villages and European hamlets as his blueprint, Steve built Serenbe on four essential components—art for inspiration, agriculture for nourishment, health and wellness for vitality, and education for growth.[15:10]  Across 2,000 acres of biophilic community design, Serenbe's miles of nature trails weave together homes, restaurants, and arts businesses while immersing visitors in rich sensory experiences around every corner. [20:30] At The Inn at Serenbe, guests can experience community life firsthand through a selection of rooms and cottages that offer both modern luxury and authentic connection to the land, complete with farm-to-table dining and access to all of Serenbe's wellness amenities.[22:30] Guests can dine and drink in good company across Serenbe's spectrum of culinary offerings—from refined seasonal menus to casual bites around the community—with every dish celebrating locally sourced ingredients grown under the nurturing care of neighbors. [25:25] Serenbe's amenities and activities celebrate both relaxation and exploration, offering everything from rejuvenating yoga classes to horseback riding adventures, and charming community experiences like feeding farm animals and listening to live music.[28:50] At its core, biophilic design embraces living in harmony with nature as a community to achieve well-being, sustainability and prosperity, creating spaces where this principle can flourish for individuals, the places we live, and the world around us.[30:10] Serenbe's future embraces a vision of "free range kids" and elders living in harmony together, applying Blue Zone principles to create a lifestyle that values longevity, community, and the richness of multigenerational living.Notable MentionsLast Child In The Woods by Richard LouvAtlanta BeltlineNew York City High LineStart In Your Own Backyard by Steve NygrenVisit For YourselfSerenbe Website | @serenbeSteve Nygren Website

In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth sits down with Peter Novak, PhD and founder of the Strictly Speaking Group. They discuss how we should think about accents – and the keys to succeeding in high stakes communications, particularly if you are a non-native English speaker. Peter challenges the usefulness of “accent reduction” training and the common advice to “not read from a script,” sharing research and cutting-edge strategies (including ones that involve AI) that have helped his clients become rising stars who embrace the power of their multilingual identities. You'll leave this episode with the hard truths on accents and amazingly practical tips that will immediately help you ascend.SHOW NOTES:Peter's interest in communication, accents and theater that drove his career and lifeInsights from Peter's two year project translating Shakespeare's 12th night into American Sign Language (ASL)Blunt question #1: Is “accent bias” real? Peter shares the research.What the heck does confidence in English sound like?The core of Peter's work: How do you speak in a way that meets the expectations of what native speakers are listening for?Blunt question #2: Should I get accent reduction training? Peter's surprising response.Brain science on what native English speakers are listening for: English as a “stress-timed language” where stressing certain words generates meaningBeyond your words and accent: understanding “prosody” or the musicality of a language to convey meaning, intention – and make your communication landPractical Tip: One of the best things you can do is to get a good microphone!“It's not an accent, it's an identity”The Canadian study that showed that language training that focused on “macro-linguistic factors” (variation, tone, pace) mattered more than training that focused on accentPractical Tip for fast speakers: Don't slow down – Instead pause within the sentence around “thought clusters”How to sound confident, curious, or spontaneous: When and how to use downward, upward and sustained intonation in your communication.How to read from a text – but still sound like you are speaking off the cuffPractical Tip: Practice your speech out loud – but record it with a voice to text app – and then ask AI to generate a voice print and recommendations.Practical Tip: Scoring and the “2 1/2 inch trick” when delivering a powerful speech through virtual meetings and online video communication.Repeating words, using sustained inflection – and not being confined by the text: Peter demonstrates how to sound spontaneous when reading from a scriptPractical tip, inspired by Ginger Rogers: How to send subtle reminders at work that you are powerful and do a lot of heavy lifting.Practical tip, inspired by Laura Huang: Turn a stereotypically perceived weakness into a strengthPractical tip: Use idioms from your native language (where Peter reveals his Argentinian-accented Spanish!)Understanding how people want their communications: Ask them, ask others, use new AI toolsPractical tip for non-native speakers: Provide sign posts and structure to ensure your message landsLightning round with Peter: Who has most shaped his thinking, How communication will evolve with AI BIO AND LINKS:Peter Novak is the founder of Strictly Speaking Group, where he has built his reputation as a globally recognized communications coach.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at how student feedback shapes leadership on campus. Ford reflects on a key lesson he has learned from listening to students and how their input plays a part in guiding tough decisions. He points out that colleges must adjust their expectations as each new group of students arrives with different needs and priorities. Their conversation includes Ford's take on the familiar phrase “Back when I was in college,” and why educators cannot rely on what worked years ago. He explains that meeting today's students where they are means building programs and services that fit a new generation's outlook. A major topic in the episode is technology and its role in modern education. Ford highlights Northeast's progress in this area and notes that other institutions often look to the college as they work to strengthen their own technology efforts.
