This year I turned 45 and it felt like the perfect opportunity to reflect on the lessons life has taught me so far.In this special solo episode, I'm sharing 45 truths I've learned over 45 years.

What if confidence isn't something you need before you start?In this solo episode, I share why some of the biggest decisions of my life happened long before I felt ready. From leaving my successful career as a Head of HR to build Asian Women Mean Business, to leading the Mother Kili expedition and documentary project with no experience in mountain climbing or filmmaking, I've learned that confidence is rarely the starting point.Instead, confidence is built through courage, action and experience.I explore why so many of us stay stuck waiting for the perfect moment, how fear can actually be a sign of growth and why the opportunities that change our lives often arrive before we feel qualified to take them.In this episode, I share:• Why confidence is a result of action, not a prerequisite for it• The lessons I learned from leaving corporate life behind• What Mother Kili taught me about backing myself and taking risks• How to move forward even when fear and self-doubt are present• Practical ways to take the next brave step towards the life you wantIf you've been delaying a decision, sitting on an idea or waiting until you feel ready, this episode is your reminder that courage comes first.Because the life you're dreaming about isn't on the other side of confidence.It's on the other side of taking the first step.Connect with us:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asianwomenmeanbusiness/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/a.w.m.b/Rupinder on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupinderkaurawmb/TikTok, events and resources: https://linktr.ee/a.w.m.bIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with someone who would benefit from the conversation.At Asian Women Mean Business, we're helping women dream bigger, build confidence and create success on their own terms.

How To Create A Life That Feels As Successful As It Looks What happens when you've achieved everything you thought you wanted, yet something still feels missing?In this episode, I'm joined by Tazmin Suleman to explore why so many high-achieving women can look successful on the outside while feeling disconnected, overwhelmed or uncertain about what comes next.Together, we discuss the pressure of constantly striving, how our definition of success evolves through different seasons of life and why true fulfilment comes from creating a life that aligns with your values rather than other people's expectations.If you've ever felt stuck despite having a successful career, a busy life and plenty of achievements to your name, this conversation will help you pause, reflect and redefine what success means for you.A powerful episode for women who are ready to stop chasing and start living with more intention, alignment and purpose.Connect with Tazmin here Connect with us:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asianwomenmeanbusiness/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/a.w.m.b/Rupinder on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupinderkaurawmb/TikTok, events and resources: https://linktr.ee/a.w.m.bIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with someone who would benefit from the conversation.At Asian Women Mean Business, we're helping women dream bigger, build confidence and create success on their own terms.

What if this summer didn't just happen to you?In this solo episode, I share how to intentionally create the summer of your dreams rather than letting the weeks pass by on autopilot. From creating a summer bucket list and scheduling memorable experiences to making time for self-reflection and asking the people you love what they want from the season, this episode is packed with practical ideas to help you make the most of the months ahead.I explore why joy deserves a place in your diary, the importance of creating memories on purpose and how small moments often become the ones we treasure most.Whether you're planning adventures, family time, solo experiences or simply looking to bring more intention into your days, this episode will inspire you to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start creating a summer you'll actually remember.Because the summer of your dreams doesn't happen by accident.

Why Do So Many Women Struggle to Trust Themselves?In this episode, I'm joined by Nisha for an honest and thought-provoking conversation about self-trust, emotional patterns and the hidden ways women abandon themselves every day.Together, we explore why so many capable, high-functioning women still find themselves overthinking decisions, people-pleasing, seeking reassurance and struggling to trust their own voice, despite appearing confident on the outside.We discuss the impact of cultural conditioning, particularly for South Asian women, and how being taught to be "good", responsible and accommodating can leave us disconnected from our own needs and instincts.One of the most powerful insights from this conversation is the difference between awareness and implementation. Understanding your patterns is important, but real transformation happens when you begin responding differently in your daily life.In this episode, we cover:Why so many women struggle with self-trustThe hidden cost of people-pleasing and overthinkingSelf-abandonment and emotional exhaustionThe impact of cultural expectations and conditioningWhy awareness alone doesn't create changePractical steps towards building genuine self-trustIf you've ever found yourself second-guessing your decisions, putting everyone else's needs before your own or feeling disconnected from what you truly want, this conversation will leave you with plenty to reflect on.A powerful episode for any woman ready to stop seeking permission and start trusting herself.Connect with Nisha here Connect with us:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asianwomenmeanbusiness/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/a.w.m.b/Rupinder on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupinderkaurawmb/TikTok, events and resources: https://linktr.ee/a.w.m.bIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with someone who would benefit from the conversation.At Asian Women Mean Business, we're helping women dream bigger, build confidence and create success on their own terms.

What if wanting more isn't selfish?In this honest and reflective solo episode, I share the thoughts, questions and insights that surfaced during a recent solo birthday retreat. Inspired by reading She Wanted More by Poorna Bell and spending time away from the noise of everyday life, I explore what it really means to create a life that feels aligned with who I am becoming.From self-discovery and personal growth to ambition, fulfilment and redefining success, this episode is an invitation to pause and consider what you truly want from your next chapter.I talk about:• Why gratitude and wanting more can exist at the same time• The expectations many of us carry from family, culture and society• How solo time creates space for clarity and self-reflection• The importance of regularly re-evaluating how I want to live my life• What it means to consciously design a life that feels meaningful, peaceful and authenticIf you've been feeling restless, questioning what's next or sensing that there's something more available to you, I hope this conversation encourages you to listen to that inner voice and give yourself permission to explore what you truly want.Because sometimes the most important question we can ask ourselves is:What do I want more of?Connect with us:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asianwomenmeanbusiness/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/a.w.m.b/Rupinder on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupinderkaurawmb/TikTok, events and resources: https://linktr.ee/a.w.m.bIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with someone who would benefit from the conversation.At Asian Women Mean Business, we're helping women dream bigger, build confidence and create success on their own terms.

What If Your Life Purpose Was Already Mapped Out?In this episode, I'm joined by Harinder Ghatora to explore the idea that your life may have a deeper blueprint and what happens when you begin to understand it.We discuss what a Soul Plan reading actually is, how it can reveal patterns, purpose and potential blocks, and why even the sceptics might find value in this fascinating modality.I also share my own experience of having a Soul Plan reading during a challenging period of my life and how the insights from that session have unfolded over the last six years in ways I never expected.If you've ever questioned your direction, wondered whether you're living in alignment with your purpose or felt there is something more you're meant to do, this conversation offers a thought-provoking perspective on personal growth, intuition and possibility.Connect with HarinderBook your Soul Plan reading: https://www.harinderghatora.co.uk/Connect with us:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asianwomenmeanbusiness/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/a.w.m.b/Rupinder on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupinderkaurawmb/TikTok, events and resources: https://linktr.ee/a.w.m.bIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with someone who would benefit from the conversation.At Asian Women Mean Business, we're helping women dream bigger, build confidence and create success on their own terms.

What happens when ordinary women decide to do something extraordinary?In this episode, I share the story behind Mother Kili, the documentary that followed a group of South Asian women as we took on Mount Kilimanjaro and challenged stereotypes about who belongs in adventure, leadership and spaces of possibility.I reflect on the lessons the journey taught me about courage, identity and representation, and why confidence rarely comes before action. We talk about what it means to stop waiting for permission, choose yourself and take the first step before you feel ready.More than a story about climbing a mountain, this is a conversation about the mountains we all face in our own lives and the power of seeing someone who looks like you do something you once thought was impossible.If you've ever doubted yourself, questioned whether you're ready or felt like you're waiting for the right moment to begin, this episode is for you.Because confidence doesn't come first.Courage does.Connect with us:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asianwomenmeanbusiness/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/a.w.m.b/Rupinder on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupinderkaurawmb/TikTok, events and resources: https://linktr.ee/a.w.m.bIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with someone who would benefit from the conversation.At Asian Women Mean Business, we're helping women dream bigger, build confidence and create success on their own terms.

After a four-year break, I'm back behind the microphone.In this episode, I'm sharing where I've been, why I stepped away from podcasting and what life has looked like over the past few years.From creating the Mother Kili documentary and leading one of the biggest projects of my career, to supporting my son with additional educational needs, it's been a season that required my time, energy and attention in different ways.I'm a big believer in honouring the season you're in. Not every season is about growth, visibility or doing more. Some seasons are about building, supporting the people you love and focusing on what matters most.In this honest and personal episode, I reflect on the pressures of trying to do it all, the importance of letting go of guilt and why taking a step back doesn't mean you've given up on your dreams.If you've ever felt like life has pulled you in a different direction, this episode is a reminder that it's okay to pause, recalibrate and trust that your priorities will change throughout different chapters of your life.I'm so excited to be back and grateful you're here for this next chapter.Connect with us:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asianwomenmeanbusiness/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/a.w.m.b/Rupinder on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupinderkaurawmb/TikTok, events and resources: https://linktr.ee/a.w.m.bIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with someone who would benefit from the conversation.At Asian Women Mean Business, we're helping women dream bigger, build confidence and create success on their own terms.

Kyle Jones is joined by Dr. Sabine Hazan and Dr. Hugh Beatty to explore the powerful connection between gut health and overall immunity. Dr. Hazan shares her journey from traditional GI practice and pharmaceutical clinical trials to becoming a leading voice in microbiome research during the COVID-19 pandemic.   They discuss the critical role of bifidobacteria — the beneficial gut bacteria she believes are central to immune resilience — and her "Save the Bif" movement to raise awareness about their dramatic decline in modern populations. The conversation covers microbiome diversity, immune response, severe COVID, autism, autoimmune disease, and long COVID, as well as the overuse of antibiotics, probiotics, and gut "cleanses."   This episode challenges conventional thinking and highlights the future of personalized, microbiome-centered medicine, and why protecting your gut, and "saving the bif," may be key to protecting your health.

Some artists find a sound or a look. Others find the truth. Bif Naked found both. In this moving episode of Chatter that Matters, I sit down with the iconic Juno Award-winning artist and activist Bif Naked to unpack "I am who I am." Born in New Delhi. Adopted. Raised across oceans, finding love in words and music. At 21, Bif met her birth mother, a moment that brought her story full circle. But identity is not formed only in comfort. At 36, Bif was diagnosed with breast cancer. Two years later, she suffered a stroke. Those chapters did not silence her. They fed her poetry and clarified what mattered. I loved every second of my time with Bif Naked. We discuss punk, poetry, feminism, and the discipline behind her philosophy: "save the rage for the stage." There is wisdom in that line. Choose where your energy goes. Do not let the noise of the world steal your voice. Channel it. Own it. If you have ever felt different, silenced or enraged. If you have ever had to rebuild or renew. If you believe identity is something you own, not something assigned. This conversation is for you.  (And her music and passion roars throughout)

In this episode, we bring you a riveting Q&A session with GeoGirl Dr. Rachel Phillips and Dr. Joshua Davies, both experts in geology who explore the mysterious world of banded iron formations (BIFs). We dive deep into what BIFs are, when they formed, and their significance. Josh unpacks the debated origins of these rocks, discussing how they may be the most hotly contested rocks in the geological world due to our limited understanding of their formation process, despite their voluminous presence on Earth. We touch on how BIF layers represent cycles influenced by Milankovitch cycles, and whether microbial activity plays a role in their formation. Josh explains that while BIFs peters out around 1.8 billion years ago, there are unique conditions and debates on secondary processes that impact our current understanding. We humorously explore modern analogs, like weird anoxic lakes, and laugh about how our Earth would need a huge meteorite impact to revert to BIF-forming conditions—a scenario we're not quite rooting for! Finally, we ponder the possibility of extraterrestrial BIFs, symbolizing our endless curiosity about space and deep time. This one's a dense, iron-packed dive for sure—just like BIFs!Download the CampGeo app now at this link.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)Wondering if a sustainable divorce coaching practice is really possible—or how to build one without burning out or getting lost in theory? We sit down with DCA-certified coach Lyerly Spongberg to unpack the exact steps she took to turn rigorous ADR training, mentor feedback, and a growth mindset into steady client results and a business with clear momentum.We start with the decision point: moving from life coaching to a dispute resolution lens that gives clients structure, calms chaos, and prepares them for mediation and attorney meetings. Lyerly shares how she internalized DCA frameworks, leaned into mentor coaching, and used tools like strategic empathy, EAR statements, BIF responses, and nonviolent communication to help clients communicate clearly and avoid escalation. A memorable client story shows how planning the divorce conversation—when, where, and how—can transform years of hesitation into a grounded, empowered step forward.Then we zoom out to the practice model. Lyerly explains the business choices that created traction: SMART goals, consistent educational content, intentional networking, and advanced training in high conflict, co-parenting, and trauma-informed coercive control. We talk about pre-mediation coaching as a game-changer for better outcomes, collaboration with legal and mediation professionals, and how these learnable skills carry into co-parenting and future relationships. Finally, we explore scalable offerings—downloadable guides, professional talks, local hubs, and group coaching—that meet clients where they are and build sustainable visibility.If you're building or refining a divorce coaching practice, you'll leave with a roadmap you can use: anchor your work in ADR, practice until the tools become second nature, design services that fit your strengths, and measure success by calmer conversations and healthier outcomes for families. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs this, and leave a review with the one ADR tool you want to master next.About Lyerly:Lyerly Spongberg is a DCA Certified ADR Divorce Coach, Certified DCA Pre-Mediation Coach, Co-Parenting Specialist, and Trauma-Informed Coercive Control Coach. She works nationally with clients navigating divorce to calm chaos, reduce overwhelm, and improve outcomes—ultimately saving them time, money, and emotional energy throughout the process.In addition to her professional training, Lyerly brings a unique depth of lived experience. After navigating her own high-conflict divorce in her 30s, she later married a widower with four children—and for nearly two decades has raised a blended family of six.Through her coaching practice, Step Up With Lyerly, she supports clients at every stage of the divorce process—from early decision-making through post-divorce restructuring—with a focus on clarity, stability, and child-centered strategies.

Taylor Swift is more than pop culture. She is a living playbook for growth, resilience, and scaling yourself without clones. In this episode, Aaron and Marty break down the “messy middle” that Swift publishes through her albums and tours, and translate it into practical frameworks for founders, creators, and CEOs. From identity shifts to operational scale, from public evolution to repeatable delivery, this is a masterclass in reinvention you can apply to your business today.What you will learn:How to navigate the gap between where you are and where you want to beWhy showing your process can build trust and momentumLessons from touring scale, logistics, and delivering the same product with excellenceUsing doubt as a tool and asking better questions to unlock growthLeadership that evolves in public instead of pretending to have all the answersChapters:0:00 Why Taylor Swift models the messy middle0:41 Dating an NFL star and navigating new arenas1:13 Internet reaction and the Swifties effect1:50 Swift as a business case for entrepreneurs2:08 Reinvention and the gap to your next level3:30 Headlines vs what leaders should notice4:54 Composure, hardship, and resiliency5:19 Publishing the messy middle through albums7:34 Touring scale and delivering consistency9:13 Scaling yourself without clones10:18 Avoiding the weeds and building operators12:16 Getting good by being bad first13:03 Not every song is a hit and why that is okay14:02 Public evolution and protected private life15:58 Narrative identity and reframing16:52 Telling the story of where you are going18:05 Fear, commitment, and getting stuck in the middle19:31 Beliefs, identity, and freefall20:13 The self doubt loop founders face21:35 Programs evolve and so should you22:39 Doubt as a tool and better questions23:27 Blank Space and perspective shifts24:44 Why artists change the world26:21 Evolving as a leader with your team27:51 Optics, imperfection, and real leadership29:12 Getting people from A to BIf you found this helpful:Subscribe for weekly conversations on leadership, mindset, and sustainable growthShare this episode with a founder who feels stuck in the middleComment your biggest takeaway and the next brave step you will take

FCK, FCM og BIF mangler kun et stop, inden de er klar til europæiske ligafaser. I denne uger gælder det første kvalifikationskamp, men det er meget forskellige udgangspunkter. FC København møder Basel om en plads i Champions League, og det er en overkommelig modstander, vurderer fodboldkommentator Andreas Kraul. Endnu nemmere ser det ud for FC Midtjylland, der ender i Europa League, hvis de besejrer finske KuPS. Modsat ser det svært ud for Brøndby, der skal slå Strasbourg over to kamp for at ryge i Conference League. Så hvilke danske hold klarer cuttet? Vært: Emil Schiønning. Medvært: Mikkel Nygaard. Gæst: Andreas Kraul.

He is a fourth-generation cattleman whose first experiences with cattle trace back to helping with his grandfather's commercial Hereford cows in central Georgia as a child. By age twelve Josh had purchased his first heifer, began building his own herd and became a self-professed cattle nerd.  After graduating with honors from Berry College ('95) in northwest Georgia with a degree in Animal Science, Josh worked in private industry and grew his cattle herd, while also serving as a volunteer leader in several county, state and national ag and cattle organizations. In 2009 Josh took the opportunity to move from a volunteer leader role to full time industry service and joined the Georgia Cattlemen's Association and Georgia Beef Board as Executive Vice President, serving there until joining NCBA in 2014. In his current role as Sr. Executive Director – Producer Education & Sustainability with NCBA, Josh and his team are working to capitalize on the rich histories of the Beef Quality Assurance, Masters of Beef Advocacy, Environmental Stewardship Award Program, Stockmanship & Stewardship, and Cattlemen's College programs while moving these initiatives forward to deliver even greater value to NCBA members and the cattle industry. New programs like the Rancher's Resilience Grant are a true passion for Josh and the team – finding ways to empower even more producers to participate in impactful educational opportunities. In addition to overseeing numerous programs, Josh provides leadership for NCBA's policy funded sustainability efforts and supports beef checkoff funded efforts associated with sustainable cattle production. Josh was recently awarded the Continuing Service Award by the Beef Improvement Federation for his passionate service to BIF over the past decade.  He currently serves on the Beef Focus group for the USDA Meat Animal Research Center (Clay Center, NE) and on the Animal Science Advisory Council at his alma mater. He also represents NCBA on the U S Roundtable for Sustainable Beef and serves as co-chair of the Cattle Health & Welfare committee at the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef. Josh continues to own cattle on the family farm in Georgia.  He and his wife of 29 years, Erin, live in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Their three children are scattered around the country in early career or college, and they have one exceptional grandchild. 

In this episode of the Casual Cattle Conversations podcast, host Shaye Wanner speaks with Dr. Bob Weber about the upcoming Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) convention. They discuss the importance of encouraging the younger generation to return to ranching, the role of BIF in the beef industry, and the significance of networking at such events. The conversation also highlights the Young Producer Symposium, which aims to engage young ranchers in discussions about entrepreneurship, transition planning, and advocacy. Additionally, they explore the impact of AI and machine learning on ranching practices, as well as the logistics of the BIF convention and the value of attending.

MONSTER PARTY WANTS TO DECK YOU IN YOUR HALLS! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD invite you once again to experience a series of cage matches in our audio octagon. But this time, these fights of fancy have a seasonal sting! Can your headphone-bruised cauliflower ears stand the Christmassy carnage that is… WHO WOULD WIN? VOL. 8: THE WINTER EDITION!!! If this is your first time attending a WHO WOULD WIN? event, the rules are quite simple: We choose horror/sci-fi/fantasy characters to enter a room, stage a fictitious battle for their lives and debate who would leave the victor. It's pretty much the type of game you used to play in the schoolyard, only this one doesn't leave you with dodgeball-induced internal injuries. We've done many of these episodes in the past, and they're always a ton of fun. But for this round, we decided that the timing necessitated a winter twist. We're including at least one character from a holiday-themed film, TV show, book, or legend for each of our fictional bouts. Expect an exotic range of fruitcake-fueled fighters plucked from Star Wars, Rankin Bass, Disney Animation, The Peanuts, The Twilight Zone, cult horror, holiday folklore, and more! Who will win? Who will lose? And how do you get elf blood out of a carpet? Joining us to cheer on these winter wonderland warriors, is a return guest who is also a MONSTER PARTY benefactor! He's a RONDO AWARD-WINNING writer, producer, actor, host, podcaster, and voice artist, who also happens to be the founder of BIF! BANG POW! TOYS! So, if you are a PATREON member who has ever ordered merch, you probably own something he helped create. Please welcome back the non-stop delight that is… JASON LENZI! (POD STALLIONS, PLASTIC SOUL: THE ENTERTAINMENT EARTH POP CULTURE SHOW, A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE, IN SEARCH OF TOMORROW, LIFE AFTER FLASH, CANNONBALL, BANDS REUNITED, BEAT THE GEEKS) YOU GOT TO FIGHT! FOR YOUR RIGHT! FOR HOLLY!!!!

Hey, don't tell us. We'll tell you. The suits who bankroll the industry think they know what we want to read. They have no idea. Marginalizing voices is an active pursuit where financial concerns are frequently used as an excuse. The Horizon Experiment has faith in us, placing its future in our wallets, betting we'll support originality in genres gatekept by the fearful. Their first one-shot, The Manchurian, carries an irresistible premise steered expertly by Pornsak Pichetshoteand Terry Dodson. Published by Image Comics, The Manchurian lands in comic book stores on September 25th (its FOC is September 2nd). The elevator pitch champions a Chinese James Bond. Look at the header image above. Terry and Rachel Dodson are going full-Daniel Craig in Casino Royale or Ursula Andress in Dr. No. We've read the first issue and can confirm fashion, sex, violence, and unconquerable charisma. However, beyond the Bond basics, The Manchurian follows a perspective never explored by 007: corporate espionage as handled by Chinese Communist agents. Just as all of us were recovering from San Diego Comic-Con, we spoke with Pornsak Pichetshote and Terry Dodson about The Horizon Experiment, their twist on the spy sub-genre, and the four other radical one-shots riding on their heels. We discuss the pilot program The Horizon Experiment employs and how it's not really different from how comics always operate. We chat about capturing the Bond vibe without being chained to it and how competition amongst peers is as much a trap as anything else.

Once upon a time, cartoonist JP Ahonen fell out of love with his art. He'd reached a wall. It was burnout. He'd lost the joy found in creation. Then, he just started to doodle, and an Inktober project became a runaway success. Belzebubs, the saga of a black metal family, significantly inspired by Calvin and Hobbes, sprung from his brain, and there is no stuffing it back in. These odd little outsiders reignited something inside Ahonen, but more importantly, Belzebubs ignited something in its readers. The audience appeared quickly and grew even faster. The webcomic has crossed over into other mediums and will soon be an animated series. Top Shelf Productions published two beautifully bound hardcovers, and we've latched onto them, proclaiming ourselves as rabid groupies. Every San Diego Comic-Con introduces us to some new passion; this year, it's Belzebubs. After devouring the two hardcovers, inside the Hilton Bayfront, we eagerly chatted with JP Ahonen about his Belzebubs origins. We discuss how these characters came to him at a critical moment in his life and taught him to love comics again. And then, they took on a life of their own. Now, it's your turn to join the cult.

In a few short years, James Tynion IV has become a beacon within comics. When you walk into a shop, you don't have to look long before you stumble upon one of his comics. He's seemingly everywhere, spreading beyond the four color realm, and no matter the title he's attached to, it's worth a perusal. Back in July, at San Diego Comic-Con, we sat down with Tynion inside the Dark Horse Comics booth to discuss the unique collaborative process that birthed The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos. The conversation serves as a springboard to more significant topics, primarily the mission of his Tiny Onion label. How does Tynion feel about the industry today, and where would he like to see it go in the future? We discuss Christopher Chaos' origins, his creative relationship with Tate Brombal and Isaac Goodhart, and what this book offers that seemingly similar stories don't. We talk about his recent short film Room Service and why he was compelled to make it alongside Elsa Charretier and others. James Tynion IV is a profoundly passionate artist who'd rather speed up than slow down.

At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, the family was at the forefront of DC creators' minds. We couldn't escape the topic when discussing superheroics. Plus, we've been pretty anxious on the podcast, contemplating the ramifications of city saviors placing their loved ones above the citizens of Gotham City and Metropolis. Does the person on the street want Superman to have a son? A wife? A cousin? Thankfully, we can corner Mark Waid and Mariko Tamaki at the DC booth and force them to process our ridiculous worries. In October, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee return to the early days of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson in Batman and Robin: Year One. The twelve-issue maxi-series promises to delve into their unique relationship, revealing how Bruce Wayne learned to parent while keeping Joker behind bars. During the same month, Waid and Mariko Tamaki will share Action Comics as the Superman ongoing goes weekly. Waid, alongside artist Clayton Henry, will focus on Kal-El's problems post-Absolute Power while Mariko Tamaki and artist Skler Partridge continue their deep dive into Supergirl's inner life. For the first half of today's episode, we speak with Mark Waid two-on-one, digging into Bruce and Dick's getting-to-know-you phase. We discuss Bruce's lack of familial role models, his inability or unwillingness to see Alfred as a father, and how he wanted Absolute Power to speak to the moment. In the back half, we have both Mark Waid and Mariko Tamaki on our microphone. We then focus on the Superman family, paying particular attention to Supergirl and the secrets Tamaki is unveiling to her readers. The first issue of Batman and Robin: Year One lands in comic shops on October October 16th. Mark Waid and Mariko Tamaki join Action Comics on issue 1070, which arrives on October 9th.
