Episode OverviewIn this Casting Angles episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash and casting instructor Mac Brown discuss strategies for maximizing educational value at fly fishing shows nationwide. With the 2026 show season approaching, they share tactical advice on how to approach casting and tying demonstrations, turning entertainment into genuine skill development. Mac Brown, who teaches at major shows from Marlborough to Lancaster, explains why focusing on the caster's hand movements—rather than the mesmerizing fly line—unlocks the secrets to better casting technique. The conversation covers practical methods for recording demonstrations with smartphones, the importance of high frame rate video for slow-motion analysis and how to build practice habits that translate classroom learning into on-water performance. They also introduce a new foundational casting system designed to eliminate 85-90% of common casting problems, along with Marvin's process-driven approach to fishing that emphasizes building systematic habits from gear preparation through reading the water.Key TakeawaysHow to record casting demonstrations effectively by zooming in on the instructor's hand and arm movements rather than watching the fly line, capturing both the visual technique and audio explanation for later review.Why developing a show attendance plan before arriving—including which classes and demonstrations to prioritize—transforms passive entertainment into active skill development for serious anglers.When to use high frame rate smartphone settings and inexpensive tripods to create slow-motion practice footage that reveals what you're actually doing versus what you think you're doing.How building systematic habits and foundational casting technique creates space to solve on-water problems and provides the baseline needed to learn advanced variations and specialty casts.Why tension control connects fly tying and casting technique, making both skills more accessible when you understand the underlying principles that the best practitioners master.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe episode centers on video analysis and deliberate practice methods for casting improvement. Mac and Marvin emphasize recording demonstrations with smartphones, specifically filming the caster's hand movements, rate of acceleration and body mechanics rather than the fly line's path. They recommend using inexpensive tripods with phone mounts and adjusting iPhone settings to shoot at high frame rates, enabling clear slow-motion playback for self-analysis. The discussion introduces a foundational casting system that Mac and Marvin have developed, designed to address the majority of casting faults before progressing to advanced techniques. They also touch on the parallel between tension control in fly tying and casting.Locations & SpeciesWhile this Casting Angles episode focuses on educational methodology rather than destination fishing, Mac Brown references his upcoming teaching schedule at major fly fishing shows across the country, including Marlborough, Massachusetts; Edison, New Jersey; Denver, Colorado; Bellevue, Washington; Pleasanton, California; and Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The conversation touches on Mac's home waters in the Southeast, where warm January weather in the 60s has allowed for T-shirt fishing conditions. The episode's insights apply universally to any water or target species, as the casting fundamentals and learning strategies discussed translate across all fly fishing scenarios from trout...

Spring Lake Church – BellevueSermon: Eyes to SeeTeacher: Adam JacksonPassages: John 9In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind, revealing both physical sight and deeper spiritual truth. As some reject what is plainly before them, others move from blindness to belief. This sermon calls us to examine our own hearts, recognize where spiritual blindness lingers, and respond to Jesus—the Light of the world—with faith, bold testimony, and worship.springlakechurch.org | springlakechurch.org/give | springlakechurch.org/prayer
Seattle's office vacancy hits 26.6%—second worst in America—and incoming socialist Mayor Katie Wilson thinks the solution is… taxing empty buildings and boycotting Starbucks? You can't make this up. While businesses flee across the lake to Bellevue, Seattle doubles down on payroll taxes, millionaire taxes, and vacancy fines. Meanwhile, a 75-year-old woman gets her eye gouged out by a "regular" attacker downtown, and Ross Dress for Less finally abandons what might be the worst retail location in North America. Amazon's already moved 10,000+ employees out of Seattle, but sure, let's slap on a statewide payroll tax—what could go wrong? As Katie Wilson prepares to take office calling for Starbucks boycotts, one question looms: How many more businesses need to evacuate before Seattle realizes you can't tax your way to prosperity? Is this economic suicide or just standard Democrat playbook? Will downtown Seattle become a ghost town of empty towers? Drop your predictions below, hit that subscribe button, and let's watch this trainwreck unfold together.

Spring Lake Church – BellevueSermon: God Gave His SonTeacher: Jack GuerraPassages: John 3:16For the Christmas Eve service at Spring Lake Church Bellevue, Pastor Jack Guerra centers our hearts on the simple yet world-changing truth of Christmas: God gave His Son. Rooted in John 3:16, the message reminds us that the incarnation flows from God's deep love for the world. Out of that love, He gave His one and only Son—not as an abstract idea, but as a real gift for real people in real need. And in giving His Son, God also gives us a choice: to believe, to receive, and to step into the life He offers. Christmas proclaims that love has come near, and every heart is invited to respond.springlakechurch.org | springlakechurch.org/give | springlakechurch.org/prayer

In this episode of Talk of Music City Real Estate, CareyAnn and Monte sit down with Jonathan Harris to unpack a radically different way to list and sell homes in today's unpredictable market (2020–2025 and beyond). Jonathan explains why experience can become a blind spot, why price does NOT equal value, and how his Marketplace Method can help agents get nearly any home under contract in **10–14 days**—without sacrificing client trust or sales price. You'll hear how strategic starting prices, seller reserve prices, compressed open-house windows, and upfront inspections/appraisals can create transparent competition, more showings, stronger offers, and greater certainty for sellers.

Seattle leads the nation in something again – and as usual, it's not something to celebrate. With 35% office vacancy rates and plummeting commercial rents, the Emerald City has officially become the poster child for how socialist policies destroy business districts. But wait, there's more! Meet Sean Scott, Washington's mini Let's Go Brandon Johnson, who thinks workers can just collectively create the next Amazon while he pushes a statewide payroll tax that will send Microsoft and Meta packing faster than you can say "go woke, go broke." We've already seen this movie in Seattle – Amazon moved 10,000 jobs to Bellevue when they got hit with a city payroll tax, leaving the city $47 million short on revenue. Now these economic geniuses want to take that failed experiment statewide. What could go wrong? The wheels are coming off, and taxpayers are left holding the bag while businesses flee to states that actually understand basic economics. Is anyone surprised that a Democratic Socialist who's never run so much as a taco stand thinks he can manage a $9 billion budget? Will Washington become the next California exodus story?

Santiago de la Torriente habla en Capital Intereconomía sobre cómo el sector salud viene impulsado por la Inteligencia Artificial, la cuál ya se está utilizando para conseguir diagnósticos más rápidos y precisos y esto ha reactivado el interés de los inversores. Desde Bellevue subrayan las oportunidades en tecnología médica y el renovado optimismo del mercado de cara a los próximos años. En primer lugar, el sector salud ha mostrado un rally muy sólido en las últimas semanas gracias al efecto combinando de la inteligencia artificial, la mejora de la eficiencia en diagnósticos y procedimientos médicos, y un flujo de inversión que vuelve con fuerza. Aun así, desde Bellevue Asset Management insisten en que el recorrido no está agotado: las valoraciones siguen siendo atractivas y existen segmentos, como la tecnología médica y las aseguradoras, que todavía no han expresado todo su potencial. Los acuerdos con la administración estadounidense han demostrado que es posible alcanzar soluciones equilibradas y, sobre todo, que el impacto real será mucho menor del que temía el mercado. El gestor del Bellevue Medtech & Services, Santiago de la Torriente, ha reforzado el mensaje de que más del 90% de los inversores institucionales con los que se reunieron se mostraron alcistas para 2026. De cara a 2026, Bellevue ve un escenario especialmente positivo para la tecnología médica, donde la innovación y la estabilidad del crecimiento superan a buena parte del sector farmacéutico tradicional.

These testimonies were given during a gathering for working saints at the 2024 Memorial Day Conference in Bellevue, WA.The original recording can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5fRTZ5LrrQ
Yet again, Washington's Democratic Socialist representative Sean Scott wants to tax businesses into oblivion with a statewide payroll tax—because apparently $9.4 billion in new taxes this year wasn't enough. While moderate Bellevue Mayor Lynn Robinson warns this will be "detrimental to everybody," Scott thinks he can squeeze $3 billion more from the corporations that actually fund everything in this state. What could go wrong?We break down how Seattle's payroll tax already pushed 10,000 jobs to Bellevue, where businesses can operate without getting fleeced at every turn. Meanwhile, Scott—a proud member of Democratic Socialists of America—argues we need to "spread the wealth around" while completely ignoring that these same businesses provide the tax base that funds his beloved social programs. Meta just declined to expand in Bellevue this week. Coincidence?Is anyone surprised that socialism's track record of spectacular failure doesn't deter these ideologues? How long before Washington becomes California 2.0 with a taxpayer exodus every 30 minutes? Subscribe and hit the bell—because this trainwreck is just getting started.
Spring Lake Church – BellevueSermon: Freedom in the FatherTeacher: Jack GuerraPassages: John 8:31-59In “Freedom in the Father,” Pastor Jack Guerra teaches from John 8:31–59, where Jesus reveals that true discipleship means holding to His word—and that the truth sets us free. He confronts the crowd's spiritual slavery, shows that real freedom changes how we live, and promises eternal life to those who obey Him. When Jesus declares “before Abraham was born, I am,” He makes clear that He is God Himself. Only the Son can set us free indeed.springlakechurch.org | springlakechurch.org/give | springlakechurch.org/prayer
This is a special episode, highlighting a session from ELC Annual 2025! The true promise of AI isn't in replicating human intelligence. It's in developing entirely new forms of non-human intelligence that perceive and understand the world in fundamentally different ways. Jamie Lien (Co-Founder and Chief Scientist @ Archetype AI) and Rashi Agarwal (Head of AI Engineering @ GoodLeap) explore the emergence of "Physical AI" - machines that sense the world through modalities beyond human biology to form internal representations free from our biases. This means building machines that can directly sense the physical world through modalities beyond human biology, form their own internal representations and interpretations free from our biases, and then translate that understanding back to us in human terms. ABOUT JAIME LIENJaime Lien, Ph.D. is Co-Founder and Chief Scientist at Archetype AI, a pioneering startup advancing Physical AI, artificial intelligence that understands the real world through real-time sensor data fusion.With over a dacade of experience in radar-based sensing, signal processing, and hardware engineering, Jaime's career bridges cutting-edge research and consumer-ready innovation.

In forming a [vital] group, the first step is to get a companion. The second step is to pray together and fellowship together in order to know each other in a thorough and intimate way. After this, the Lord may lead you to pray for a period of time. After praying for two weeks, you may be ready, and the Lord may lead you to go out to visit people.

In this episode of The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash connects with Mac Brown from Mac Brown Fly Fish in Bryson City, North Carolina, for another Casting Angles segment exploring an often-overlooked winter fishing strategy: dry fly fishing in cold weather conditions. Mac reveals why winter dry fly fishing deserves more attention, particularly in the Great Smoky Mountains where low, clear water and selective trout make stealth presentations with dries surprisingly effective. The discussion covers critical winter hatches including midges, blue wing olives and October caddis, with Mac emphasizing that BWOs in the Smokies are exceptionally small—requiring size 30 patterns for selective fish rather than the typical size 18 parachutes many anglers default to. Both anglers share insights on dry dropper techniques for precision nymphing in skinny winter water, explaining how light rigs allow far more accurate presentations than indicator setups when targeting specific fish. Mac reflects on how his most memorable catches throughout his guiding career have come on dry flies during fall and winter, challenging the modern trend toward nymph-only approaches. The conversation also touches on late-winter black stonefly hatches and Mac's upcoming 2026 fly fishing show schedule including Boston, Edison, Denver, Bellevue, Pleasanton and Lancaster.Related ContentS7, Ep 28 - Warming Waters and Active Fish: A Spring Fishing Update with Mac BrownS6, Ep 130 - Casting in Color: Mac Brown's Fall Fly Fishing StrategiesS6, Ep 141 - Mastering Cold Weather Fly Fishing with Mac BrownS6, Ep 145 - Navigating Winter Waters: Unconventional Strategies with Mac BrownAll Things Social MediaFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your choice.Advertise on the PodcastIs our community a good fit for your brand?
