What happens when a small-town kid with a love for the stage dares to dream big? On this episode of Bringin' It Backwards, Adam and Tera sit down with Jay, the creative force behind Vienna Vienna, to unravel his incredible journey from a tiny mountain town near Fresno to landing a record deal with Pete Wentz and hitting the road with K.Flay. Jay opens up about his artistic roots—growing up surrounded by music, breaking into local open mics in middle school, and finding his real home on stage. He shares what it was like studying songwriting at Belmont in Nashville, the TikTok moment that started it all, and how it felt to get that surreal call from Pete Wentz. You'll hear the real story behind Vienna Vienna's breakthrough single “Blame It On Us,” the making of the Wonderland EP, tackling a David Bowie cover, and what it means to finally watch fans sing his lyrics back at live shows. This is a candid, honest conversation about chasing your passion, the power of trusting your weirdest ideas, and how the right moment—and a little luck—can change everything. Whether you're an aspiring artist or just love hearing what goes on behind the scenes, you won't want to miss this episode. Stick around for Jay's inspiring advice for songwriters (including a Bowie quote you'll want to write down) and get the inside scoop on what's coming next.

Excerpt of the 16 Sep 1933 broadcast from Belmont Park with Al Jolson. Having wrapped one movie, starting another, and headlining on the radio, Al Jolson took time to go to Belmont Park in New York, and appear on the radio to joke and call a race at the track. This is just a race and a little humor, there is much more in the 30 minute program. The complete broadcast circulates with other Jolson radio shows on the Official Al Jolson Website at www.jolson.org.

A huge night of harness racing at Mohawk – the $Million Metro Pace featured two unbeaten horses. The Mohawk Million had a mild upset. At Woodbine, a 17-1 shot surprised in the Durham Cup. Norm McKnight scored his 1,000th thoroughbred training win (behave when you hear the horses that comprised the exactor). At the Delaware Fairgrounds, the 80th Little Brown Jug produced a very low paying winner. The 3-year-old Sovereignty, winner of the Kentucky Derby, the Belmont, the Jim Dandy and the Travers will be Horse of the Year in the U.S. We talk with Neil Poznansky, the Canadian ingredient in this super horse. Also, highlights from last Wednesday's card of quarter horse racing at Ajax Downs, and was that winner of the 5th race Friday at Laurel Park a shoutout to one of the great Toronto Maple Leafs?

In this episode, Belmont Head Coach Casey Alexander sits down with Slappin' Glass and breaks down his offensive philosophy, defensive evolution, and coaching journey. From assisted-basket strategies to player empowerment, Coach Alexander shares how three decades of culture and continuity shape Belmont basketball.Offensive Philosophy & EfficiencyAssisted Baskets: Nearly top-10% nationally, built on recruiting unselfish, high-IQ players who prioritize team offense over isolation.Ball Movement with Control: High passing volume paired with impressively low turnovers, thanks to system-oriented players.Pace & Tempo: Focuses on shot quality, not the clock; emphasizes quick transition opportunities whenever the defense isn't fully set. Runs a motion offense with freedom for players to break plays when advantages arise.Teaching Style: Concepts over DetailsConceptual Framework: Players learn broad principles, making reads in the flow of the game instead of memorizing plays.Player Empowerment: Every recruit gets the “green light,” fostering confidence and freedom from day one.Quality Shot Standards: Uses a unique “four-point shot” grading system in practice — shots only count if they meet strict criteria for rhythm, balance, and positioning.Recruiting & CulturePersonnel First: Success starts with finding the right offensive-minded, team-first players.Cultural Consistency: A 30-year standard of excellence, with a 3.5 team GPA and multiple Academic All-Americans.Flexibility in Recruitment: Willing to adapt for players with elite intangibles like toughness, competitiveness, and leadership.Defensive AdjustmentsLate-Season Turnaround: From bottom-third nationally to top-10 defense in the final five games, driven by greater physicality.Switching Philosophy: Shifted from over-switching (which bred passivity) to a system that demands initial defender engagement.Simplicity in the Gray Areas: Prioritizes communication, effort, and competitiveness over complex schemes.Coaching Development & ConnectionPlayer Relationships: Continuous growth focus, investing in personal connections and development.Direct Communication: Honest, demanding, but never manipulative.Career Foundation: 16 years under Hall of Fame coach Rick Byrd — patience and preparation that became his best investment.To join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 60 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

“You must not steal.” (Exodus 20:15 NLT) Several years ago, I got a call from my credit card company. They said, “Mr. Laurie, have you been in India lately making any purchases?” I said, “No, I have never been to India.” It seems that someone had gotten my credit card number and gone on a spending spree. Later, it was determined that the theft was an inside job. Someone who worked for the credit card company had given my information to someone else. We’re living in a world of theft. Of course, some people are better at it than others. A man in Miami tried to rob a deli, but the owner broke his nose by hitting him with a giant salami. The man fled the scene and hid in the trunk of a parked car. The car belonged to an undercover police team that was trailing a different criminal. After five days, the officers heard the man whimpering in the trunk and arrested him. A teenager in Belmont, New Hampshire, robbed a local convenience store and got away with a pocketful of change. He didn’t realize that there were holes in his pockets. Police officers followed the trail of coins leading to his front door and arrested him. Police in Wichita, Kansas, arrested a twenty-two-year-old man in an airport hotel after he tried to pass two counterfeit $16 bills. The apostle Paul’s instructions in Ephesians 4:28 would have been helpful to these would-be criminal masterminds. “If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need” (NLT). In other words, stop taking and start giving. Jesus gave similar counsel to Zacchaeus in Luke 19. Zacchaeus was a Jewish man who worked as a tax collector for the hated Romans. (You can imagine how popular he was among his fellow Jews.) Not only did Zacchaeus collect the exorbitant taxes demanded by Rome, but he also tacked on extra fees to line his own pockets. And no one could do anything about it because he had the power of Rome to protect him. One day as Jesus was passing through Zacchaeus’ hometown of Jericho, He spotted the tax collector. Jesus invited Himself to Zacchaeus’ home. That displeased the good people of Jericho, who didn’t think Jesus should mingle with such a notorious thief. But after spending some time with Jesus, Zacchaeus made a public announcement. “I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!” (verse 8 NLT). From this story and Paul’s words to the Ephesians, we find the ideal response to the eighth commandment. One, don’t steal anymore. Two, do something useful. God honors honest, hard-working people. Three, share with others. “You must not steal” is only the starting point. The way you define what’s “yours” will go a long way toward determining the way you live out your Christian faith. And in that sense, giving is always better than taking. Reflection question: What would doing something useful and sharing with others look like in your life?

This Friday, don't miss the Race of the Day: eighth race at Belmont at the Big A. David Aragona and Mike Beer share their expert perspectives.

The first time Abby Callahan heard Dolly Parton perform live, something clicked. At just 14 years old, watching from the audience with her mother and grandmother, Abby experienced what she describes as an epiphany: "I saw that and I was like, 'oh, that's what I want to do.'" That moment set her on a path from Iowa City to Nashville, where she's now carving out a distinctive space with what she calls "Kaleidoscope Country."Abby's debut EP "Grossly Aware" showcases her remarkable ability to blend Americana, indie pop, bluegrass, and folk into something uniquely her own. Her journey hasn't been straightforward—moving to Nashville during COVID meant isolation instead of the typical music scene immersion. Yet that solitude shaped her songwriting process, leading to deeply personal tracks like "I'll Bring Flowers," which she describes as "journaling when your therapist tells you to write in the morning."When her playful, suggestive song "Mary Jane" went viral, it created both opportunities and pushback. Some questioned whether her music belonged in country, but Abby turns criticism into creative fuel: "When someone says 'you can't do that,' I think, 'I have to prove everyone wrong.'" This determination has taken her from grueling nights playing Broadway bars until 3 AM (then attending 8 AM classes at Belmont) to performances at CMA Fest and Bonnaroo.What stands out most about Abby is her authenticity—her voice doesn't sound like anyone else's, and her lyrics reflect genuine experiences rather than manufactured emotions. As she prepares for her Americana Fest showcase and upcoming collaborations (including a reimagined "Mary Jane" with a special guest), she remains committed to the advice she'd give her younger self: "Try to be yourself more and not someone that people like, because that just doesn't work out."Ready to experience Kaleidoscope Country for yourself? Stream "Grossly Aware" now and follow Abby's journey as one of Nashville's most captivating new voices.

The Fortified Life Podcast with Jason DavisEpisode 201: Purposeful Branding & Calling — with Career Coach Lori BeenRelease Date: SEPT. 3, 2025Host: Jason Davis (Mr. Fortified)Guest: Lori BeenOwner, Panache Career Coaching Services; career coach (25+ years), former university career services leader (Vanderbilt, Belmont), Amazon #1 bestselling author of Purposeful Branding: Discover how your gifts can help you get unstuck in your career and best serve others. Featured in The Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, and Inc. Magazine. Ranked a Top 10 Coach in Nashville every year since 2017.Episode OverviewJason welcomes Lori Been for a practical, faith-forward conversation on vocation, transition, and designing work that serves others. Lori shares her journey from higher-ed career services into entrepreneurship in Nashville's music industry—blending image consulting, media/interview prep, and career coaching—and why she ultimately refocused on purpose-driven coaching for professionals navigating change. The centerpiece of the episode is Lori's framework from Purposeful Branding, which anchors your calling in identity in Christ, clarifies your gifts, defines your audience, and builds a brand that serves.What You'll LearnVocation ≠ Identity: Why Your Work Is Not Your Identity—and How Rooting Your Identity in Christ Protects You Against Idols of Career and Title.From Stifled to Strategic: Recognizing when creativity is being constrained, and practical steps to pivot with wisdom (networking, pilot projects, timing, and “who can I serve?”).Purposeful Branding (beyond logos): Start with gifts → who you serve → how you help → then visuals.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I catch up with the powerhouse duo Striking Matches (Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis). Our conversation weaves together their incredible journey, from garage jams in Georgia and formative years at Belmont University to charting their own artistic path on international stages.We talk about the early sparks: how a chance pairing at Belmont led to instant musical chemistry, their first gig at the Bluebird Café, and how harmonies, slide guitar, and raw energy shaped their sound.They share stories from their European tours, traveling light with only two acoustic guitars, and the magic of making a full band's worth of sound as a duo. We also delve into the impact of having nine original songs placed on ABC's hit show Nashville, a career-launching moment that opened doors to the Grand Ole Opry, the UK, and even collaborations with T-Bone Burnett and the late, great Michael Rhodes.We reflect on the craft of songwriting: from following Nashville's “rules” early on to breaking them with honesty and authenticity. Sarah and Justin discuss chasing their best song yet, recording and producing on their own terms, and creating studio records that capture the energy of their live shows.There's nostalgia too, remembering jam sessions with the Rosson family, watching musical heroes like Tommy Emmanuel, and feeling the support of mentors who helped shape their artistry. And, of course, we share plenty of laughs about gear disasters, sushi metaphors, and why less is often more when it comes to making music.Whether you know them from Nashville, their stirring live performances, or their new releases, this is a deep, heartfelt conversation about growth, partnership, and what it means to create music that connects.To learn more about the duo, visit their website.

Minute meetings look great on a spreadsheet. But do they actually help kids? In this episode of Graded, I dig into where this practice really came from, the myths we've built around it, and the risks nobody's talking about, and I'll share what to do instead.Minute meetings have taken on near-folklore status in school counseling. They're all over Pinterest, pushed in Facebook groups, and praised as the “must-do” way to reach every student. But here's the problem: they didn't come from research. They came from a 2011 blog post that went viral because it looked proactive and admin-friendly.I'll unpack why so many counselors have latched onto them, and the real costs hiding under the surface: wasted time, shaky privacy practices, legal risks, and the illusion of equity. Most importantly, you'll leave with stronger, evidence-backed alternatives- systematic data analysis, teacher consultation, and SEL strategies- that replace documentation theater with practices that actually change outcomes.If you've ever wondered whether minute meetings are helping or quietly hurting your program, this episode is for you.References (Annotated)American School Counselor Association. (2005). The ASCA National Model: A framework for school counseling programs (2nd ed.). Alexandria, VA: Author. This framework formalized the profession's shift toward “comprehensive, data-driven” programs. Its expectations created pressure on counselors to prove contact and impact—conditions that made quick-fix strategies like minute meetings appealing.Dahir, C. A., & Stone, C. B. (2006). The transformed school counselor. Belmont, CA: Brooks/Cole. Captures the post-ASCA Model climate of accountability and data demands. This context helps explain why counselors gravitated toward visible, trackable practices like minute meetings, even without research support.Kathuria, T., & Pandya, A. (2023). Can a five-minute meeting improve the wellbeing of students? The Indian school experience. Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools, 33(2), 1–11. https://doi.org/10.1017/jgc.2023.12 The only peer-reviewed study even remotely related to “minute meetings.” Though conducted in India and using a different model (five minutes, not one), it highlights how little empirical research exists to validate this practice in U.S. schools.Schultz, D. (2011, December 28). Got a minute? School Counselor Blog. https://www.schcounselor.com/2011/12/got-minute.html Earliest known mention of “minute meetings” in the school counseling world. *********************************⭐️ Want support with real-world strategies that actually work on your campus?
