A few days ago, we lost Gil Gerard—forever Buck Rogers in the 25th Century to a generation of kids who grew up in the late 70's believing the future was sleek ships, sharp one-liners, and heroes who always found a way...oh yeah and some absolutely beautiful woman. For Shawn, Buck Rogers wasn't just a show. It was a piece of his childhood. It was imagination, escapism, and optimism wrapped into a weekly ritual. Years later, that love became something more when Shawn and Shiff took it live on The Place to Be Pop Feed back in 2021–2022 when Battlestar in the 25th Century Podcast began. What started as Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century watch-alongs turned into a journey—one where Shawn got to share the shows that shaped him with someone who had never experienced them. The goal was simple: pass along the joy, the absurdity, the heart, and the fun of the sci-fi that made Shawn who he was. And then came what would become the final episode of the pod. A one-off. A curveball. A deep dive into Gil Gerard's personal journey, including his decision to undergo gastric bypass surgery. It is still talked about in Backbone circles as the first and only podcast that truly broke Shiff. Laughter, disbelief, humanity—it had all of it. And fittingly, it centered on the man who meant so much to us in the first place. Gil Gerard wasn't just a TV hero. He was human. Complicated. Honest. And willing to share his story in a way that connected with people far beyond the world of New Chicago. So this is a tribute—to Gil Gerard. To Buck Rogers. To childhood wonder. To shared fandom. And to the unexpected moments that stay with us long after the microphones are turned off. Rest easy, Buck. The future you helped us dream about is still flying.    ***Original Write Up of the Pod from March 12, 2022*** On “very special” Episode 26 of Battlestar in the 25th Century, Shawn and Scott pause on a regular episode watch and go down the You Tube rabbit hole to watch Buck Rogers star Gil Gerard in “Gil Gerard Action Hero Makeover Video Mini-Gastric Bypass”. Gil, now at 350 pounds shares his journey to Gastric Bypass surgery taking on a larger fight than the Draconians, his health! Guest stars galore, including Bill Clinton and some Buck Rogers favorites!

In this episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael welcomes Carl Knoblock, Virginia District Director of the Small Business Administration, for a spirited discussion on the true value of small businesses. While Small Business Saturday often takes center stage during the holiday season, Janet and Carl argue that supporting local businesses should be a year-round commitment. Their conversation, rich with anecdotes and actionable advice, offers a roadmap for both consumers and business owners eager to strengthen their communities. The Backbone of the Community From the outset, Carl emphasizes a staggering statistic: 99% of businesses in the United States are considered small. Yet, these enterprises often go unnoticed in favor of their larger counterparts. Janet and Carl highlight how small businesses—ranging from family-owned shops to local farmers—form the backbone of local economies. They recount how events like government shutdowns disproportionately affect these businesses, underscoring their vulnerability and the ripple effects felt throughout the community. Beyond Retail: The Many Faces of Small Business Transitioning from statistics to stories, the conversation explores the diversity of small businesses. Janet points out that support shouldn't be limited to retail stores; restaurants, service providers, and even seasonal attractions like corn mazes all contribute to the local fabric. Carl suggests creative marketing ideas, such as selling experience packages or collaborating with other businesses, to keep customers engaged beyond the holiday rush. The Power of Consistent Support Janet and Carl agree that one day of shopping small isn't enough. Instead, they advocate for ongoing support, especially during slower months. They share practical tips for consumers, such as exploring new local shops and considering gift cards or unique experiences as presents. For business owners, Carl stresses the importance of proactive marketing and customer engagement, reminding listeners that a single social media post is rarely sufficient to attract attention in today's fast-paced digital world. Collaboration and Community Spirit The discussion shifts to the power of collaboration. Janet recalls successful partnerships between local businesses, like cross-promotions between coffee shops and theaters, which benefit everyone involved. Carl notes that when businesses work together—offering complementary deals or simply recommending each other—they foster a sense of community that keeps main streets vibrant and thriving. Advice for Business Owners: Heart and Hustle Throughout the episode, Carl and Janet offer candid advice for small business owners. They urge entrepreneurs to focus on customer experience, hire staff with genuine enthusiasm, and maintain both their physical and online storefronts. Janet highlights the importance of using modern point-of-sale systems to streamline inventory and online sales, making it easier for customers to shop local from anywhere. Conclusion: A Call to Action As the conversation wraps up, Janet and Carl encourage listeners to step outside their routines, discover new local businesses, and remember that every purchase makes a difference. Their message is clear: supporting small businesses is not just a holiday tradition, but a vital, ongoing investment in the health and happiness of our communities. By shopping small and supporting local year-round, everyone can play a part in building stronger, more resilient communities.

Silver Alkhafaji's journey through chronic back pain began when she was a teenager and intensified during her PhD studies at UCSF. Misdiagnoses, escalating symptoms, and delayed imaging prolonged her suffering until an MRI finally revealed L5–S1 spondylolisthesis caused by a bilateral pars defect. After conservative care failed, Silver underwent a spinal fusion with laminectomy in December 2023. Recovery was far from linear—marked by setbacks, medication trials, physical therapy challenges, and emotional hurdles—but through perseverance, self-advocacy, and creative expression, she reclaimed her life. Today, Silver embraces healing through writing, community, and continued strength-building. Her story exemplifies the power of persistence, proper diagnosis, and listening to one's body.Support the show

Today we're talking about one of the hardest and most important parts of leadership: holding high standards and leading with genuine compassion. This is the backbone of a resilient team — and honestly, it's the part most leaders secretly struggle with. I'm sharing a story from my Air Force days that completely shifted how I understand ethical leadership, and what it really looks like to care deeply without lowering the bar. “Compassion without standards becomes chaos. Standards without compassion become cruelty.” ~Tami Imlay Want to Go Deeper? Ready to stop circling your calling and finally get clear on what's next?

Host Cindi Koetzle welcomes David Ly, CEO and Founder of Iveda, for a practical conversation on how AI is moving from buzzword to business-critical tool in HR, learning, and operations. Drawing on more than two decades in AI-powered video and vision technology, David explains why AI is suddenly “everywhere” now—affordable computing power, accessible interfaces, and off-the-shelf solutions—despite having been in the background of our lives for years in tools like streaming recommendations and automated data organization. He and Cindi explore how AI can transform onboarding and training by using video, computer vision, and augmented reality to capture best practices from tenured employees, provide real-time guidance to new hires, and act as a “force multiplier” for coaches and trainers. They also tackle employee concerns about job loss, reframing AI as a shift in roles rather than a replacement for humans, and discuss how better training, fewer errors, and faster support ultimately improve customer experience and ROI.

Fresh out of Oracle AI World 2025, Chris Chelliah, Senior Vice President of Technology and Customer Strategy for Japan and Asia Pacific at Oracle, joins us to unpack how Oracle is positioning itself as the definitive enterprise AI platform across the region. He shares his career journey from a computer science geek working on distributed databases to leading technology strategy across a market representing two-thirds of the world's population. Chris explains Oracle's comprehensive four-tier AI stack—infrastructure, data platform, applications, and agentic orchestration—emphasizing how this unique full-stack ownership enables enterprises to consume AI out of the box and extend seamlessly without ripping and replacing existing systems. He highlights compelling use cases from financial fraud detection and healthcare automation to precision agriculture and energy grid optimization. Closing the conversation, Chris shares his vision for what great Oracle will look like in Asia Pacific, continuing its 50-year legacy as the behind-the-scenes platform provider powering everything from OpenAI and TikTok to global banking infrastructure. What's been consistent for Oracle is to be a platform provider that helps organizations unlock full value of their data. Today it is all about AI and unlocking the value of your data in AI, and cloud is a mandatory enabler. With AI and agentic AI, an agent is effectively an employee—it's an automated employee, a process, a workflow. You want your employees to be within your ecosystem, within your firewall. AI thrives at the edge because that's where inference happens. With AI and agentic AI, an agent is effectively an employee—it's an automated employee, a process, a workflow.

Autumn is here on the Talking Heads podcast - as the last vestiges of Summer in the garden dodge the wet and windy weather while trying to give the last hurrah before that inevitable but pleasantly seasonable slide into the hibernation of winter. But gardeners never sleep so Lucy and Saul are still out and about in their plots plying the horticultural trade they both love. So join them both for more horti-waffle and insights into the life of the modern, professional gardener.Balancing clients, weather, school runs and shifting workloads is all part and parcel of the professional gardener's lifestyle, so Lucy lets us listen in on her teabreaks this week to reveal exactly what her diary involves. Whether she's judging tide times on Mersea Island, dodging rainclouds in her village or dashing across town to help out her smallholder parents, there's never a dull moment and each week poses different challenges. But, of course, there's always time for a much-loved biscuit (or mince pie, or jam doughnut, or slice of lemon drizzle, or....).Instagram link:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensLinkedIn link:Saul WalkerIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

Something is happening inside the conservative movement, and most people don't realize it until they've already been pulled into it. The enemy has found a new tactic, not by attacking us from the outside, but by using conspiracy addiction to turn believers, patriots, and even influencers against one another. I expose how this strategy is splintering the very people called to stand for truth and why the goal is to weaken America from the inside out. Once you recognize the pattern, you will be able to guard your mind, protect your relationships, and stay focused on the real battle instead of the distractions designed to divide us.   Podcast Episode 1942: How the Enemy Is Using Conspiracies to Break America's Backbone | don't miss this!

It's not a podcast about Guillermo del Toro...it's a podcast with Guillermo del Toro in it. To commemorate the release of FRANKENSTEIN, the boys look back at El Gordo's artsy creature feature filmography, starting with one of Marten's all-time favorites: THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE (2001). You might be surprised where their taste overlaps (and radically differs)!

AI, Cyber Attacks, and Nuclear Deterrence. Peter Huessy discusses the challenges to nuclear deterrence posed by AI and cyber intrusions. General Flynn highlighted that attacks on satellites, the backbone of deterrence, could prevent the US from confirming where a launch originated. Huessy emphasizes the need to improve deterrence, noting that the US likely requires presidential authorization for retaliation, unlike potential Russian "dead hand" systems. The biggest risk is misinformation delivered by cyber attacks, although the US maintains stringent protocols and would never launch based solely on a computer warning.

Batteries aren't just supporting the grid anymore, they are defending the grid.Chris Finley, CCO of TruGrid, joins Nico on stage at PowerUp Live to explain how battery storage has shifted from a “nice-to-have” to a mission-critical asset class. Whether it's enabling arbitrage in ERCOT or powering hyperscale data centers, battery systems are now leading the charge, literally.From the complexities of supply chains to the myths about lithium tech, Chris shares a practical, from-the-field perspective on what it takes to deliver large-scale battery projects in today's challenging market. He also breaks down how policy shifts and interconnection delays are forcing EPCs to rethink how they plan and execute storage projects.Expect to learn:

In this fiery episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold opens up about the growing tension inside the MAGA movement, the pitfalls of blind trust, and why honest criticism is essential, not betrayal. From Trump's missteps to the Senate's shocking self-enrichment scheme, Jon challenges the audience to stop waiting for someone else to fix the country and start taking real local action. He breaks down the myth of the “normie echo chamber,” frustrations with government inertia, and the danger of excusing bad behavior from elected officials. The conversation hits everything from the Antifa terrorist designation to the shutdown's empty promises, the election system, homeschooling, bad narratives, and how community organizing may be the key to real change. Blunt, humorous, and raw, Jon delivers a call to action: stop worshiping politicians, embrace friction, get involved, and help shape America's future from the ground up.

You've built something impressive. From the outside, it all looks good. But if you're honest with yourself, you've been playing small. Making things look perfect so no one sees the truth underneath. Smiling through the exhaustion. Saying "I'm just" when someone recognizes your power. Shrinking yourself so others feel comfortable. Today's guest knows this pattern intimately because she lived it for years. Sarah Albritton has spent over 30 years as the trusted catalyst for high-impact leaders who've achieved massive success but know something's still missing. She works with CEOs, founders, and senior executives who look unstoppable from the outside yet privately feel their compass spinning. Her clients include billion-dollar business leaders and visionary founders who've realized the old playbook isn't working anymore. But before she was coaching the world's most accomplished leaders, Sarah was the woman who made everything look perfect while quietly crumbling inside. The high achiever with imposter syndrome who spent 20 years in a marriage where she wasn't fully present. The capable woman who carried chronic back pain because her body was screaming what she wouldn't say out loud. The leader who walked into rooms full of elite coaches and heard herself say "I'm just a coach here, just like everybody else" in that high-pitched little voice, watching doors close behind people's eyes. Until the day she couldn't keep playing small anymore. In this raw, vulnerable conversation, Sarah reveals what it actually costs to make things look perfect when you're not being real. The physical pain her body carried from years of inauthenticity. The devastating betrayal when her entire friend group turned on her during her divorce, not just walking away but actively trying to destroy her. The moment at a coaching seminar when she caught herself shrinking and made the conscious choice to show up bigger. And how learning to treat her body as her hero instead of her villain changed everything. In this conversation, Sarah shares: The real cost of playing small: how making things look perfect on the outside creates chronic pain, exhaustion, and a complete erosion of self-trust Why imposter syndrome isn't humility, it's hiding your power, and the exact moment she chose to stop shrinking What happens to your body when you spend years being inauthentic (and why her chronic back pain disappeared the moment she got real) The difference between corporate leaders who've been conditioned not to trust themselves and entrepreneurs who struggle to trust anyone else Why "who, question mark, me, exclamation point" is the energy shift that changes everything The devastating cost of betrayal and how therapy helped her see that other people's reactions to her getting real had nothing to do with her What her 15-year-old son said that made her realize the gift of getting real: "When you decided to get real, you made it possible for the rest of us to get real" How she went from chasing dean positions and status to redefining success as "not needing a definition of success" Why humans are terrible judges of their own impact and what becomes available when you stop needing proof The work she's building now: Leading with Backbone, helping both business leaders and coaches show up courageously instead of hiding behind neutrality This episode is for you if you've ever: Caught yourself saying "I'm just" when someone recognized your power or capability Made everything look perfect on the outside while quietly crumbling on the inside Felt chronic pain, exhaustion, or physical symptoms you can't explain (and wondered if your body is trying to tell you something) Played small so others would feel comfortable, then resented yourself for shrinking Built a life that looks impressive but doesn't feel real, doesn't feel like you Lost trust in yourself after betrayal and wondered if you'll ever feel safe again Known you're capable of so much more but kept yourself small to stay safe Wondered what would happen if you actually showed up as big as you really are Sarah Albritton is a transformational coach and leadership catalyst who has spent over 30 years working with the world's most accomplished leaders. She's known for her rare ability to deliver what she calls "catalytic jolts of clarity," helping CEOs, founders, and senior executives torch limiting patterns and reclaim aligned leadership. Working from deep 1:1 coaching to transformative team sessions to soul-awakening retreats at her North Carolina farm, Sarah balances self-compassion with radical candor and a refusal to sugarcoat. Her new program, Leading with Backbone, helps both business leaders and coaches show up courageously with truth. Find her at sarahcalbritton.com and on LinkedIn and Instagram @sarahcalbritton. Ready to stop playing small? If Sarah's story hit close to home, it's because you're living some version of it right now. You've built something that looks good on the outside. People think you have it together. But you know the truth. You're playing smaller than you're capable of. Making things look perfect so no one sees how exhausted you really are. Shrinking yourself so others feel comfortable while your body carries the weight of everything you're not saying. Here's what that costs you: your energy, your presence, your health, your relationships, and your ability to actually feel the success you've built. You collapse into bed exhausted but can't sleep because your mind won't stop racing. You snap at the people you love most, then feel guilty for not being present. You know you should take better care of yourself but you always run out of time and energy. You've built a life people admire but inside it doesn't feel congruent. The Congruency Audit is where we look at the gap between the success you've built on the outside and what you're actually feeling on the inside. We'll identify the exact patterns keeping you stuck in playing small, the wounds driving your need to make things look perfect, and what it's going to take for you to finally show up as big as you actually are. This isn't about optimizing the version of yourself you built to survive. It's about creating congruence so the life you've built doesn't just look good, it finally feels right.
