I was in-the-pocket with this interview, mouth agape and blown away by the brutal honesty and vulnerability that Rod showed during our hour together. I learned so much about two afflictions that can really effect someone's life. Listen as this Rantoul native talks about being a man in the woman's world of hairdressing, drama and acting, marrying a younger woman and the assumptions that come with that, being ahead of COVID protocols, living with Tourette's Syndrome, living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, watching your father pass in front of your eyes and the angel that he still talks to. Emily Harrington, here!

When George Eliot wrote "don't judge a book by it's cover' in the Mill on the Floss in 1860, it is certain she did not know just how strange a relationship we would have to her enduring idiom 160 years later. Open the book on a journey through the history and importance of cover design from clay tablets to jewel-encrusted tomes to open-shirted men - we find out why we're still absolutely judging books by their covers.

Send us a textNashville based celebrity stylist Peyton Dale's journey into "soul styling" began from an unexpected place of personal struggle. At 14, she started secretly experimenting with vintage fashion while presenting a completely different persona at her Southern high school. After years of battling eating disorders and body image issues, she made a pivotal decision on her 16th birthday to finally show up as her authentic self—even when it got her sent home for dress code violations.Fast forward to 2023, and Peyton has transformed this hard-won self-acceptance into a thriving career styling everyone from legendary musicians to everyday people seeking to reconnect with themselves through clothing. Her approach goes far beyond fashion trends, addressing the deeper spiritual and emotional dimensions of how we present ourselves to the world."I'm here to dress your meat suit," she quips, but beneath this lighthearted statement lies a profound philosophy. Peyton sees clothing as the only art form we legally must participate in—unlike music or cinema, we can't opt out of wearing clothes in public. From this perspective, she helps clients transform their relationship with style from one of shame or indifference into a powerful avenue for self-expression and healing.The conversation takes unexpected turns, from styling a terminal client for her final day on earth ("once you've styled someone for their ghost outfit, nothing bugs you anymore") to navigating diverse client needs with empathy and respect. Whether working with dominatrices or Mormon clients who wear religious garments, Peyton maintains her core belief: "Everyone is going through life through their own lens, and I think everyone needs to be loved on, regardless of if I agree with you or not."Your style isn't just about looking good—it's about feeling like yourself, perhaps for the first time.Connect with Payton here:WebsiteTikTokInstagramSTYLE SUMMIT 6/29 at 10AM

They say first impressions matter — but they're not always right. You've heard the phrase, “don't judge a book by its cover,” and it holds true far beyond the pages of a novel. Someone's appearance, voice, or background might tell part of their story, but never the whole truth. The quietest person in the room may have the loudest courage. The worn-out cover may hold the richest content. In a world quick to label and divide, taking the time to look deeper isn't just kind — it's wise. Because beneath the surface, every person carries a story you haven't heard yet. This is the story of Dr. Wayne Curtis, a man who came up the rough side of the mountain. Tweet us at @podcastcolors.

Send us a textIn this week's special episode, we explore the age old adage, "you can't judge a book by its cover." Book covers have evolved over the millennia, as displays of wealth, protective layers, advertisements, and art pieces. We look at the historical functions of the cover and investigate why all book covers seem to look the same in modern times! Join us for this deeply important journey through time and pulp! 

Katie, Nicolaie and Steven debate exposures across EM Edge to the potential policy shifts of a second Trump administration. EM Edge would seem the most exposed given their low diversification, high funding needs, openness to trade and shallower local capital markets. Yet, starting points are generally more favorable than compared to past global shocks as fundamentals have improved. Reliance on volatile market funding is also less and FX reserves are higher. While Edge economies, as with most global economies, would be exposed, there are relative points of pressure and other economies that could benefit. The podcast debates three channels through which Edge economies could be exposed to policy changes in the US: trade, immigration and funding conditions.

The first conversation we've had about cover design in games! We discuss how book covers are often the first thing people see of our games, how a well-designed cover can stick in someone's memory, and how a great cover isn't just about first impressions—it can make you want to pick up a book again and again. And a special thanks to our editor, Rob, for letting us know that yes, Scholastic Book Fairs do still exist.

Does a cute name make someone more attractive? What about a cool job? "The Farm Babe" Michelle Miller returns to talk about what jobs make a man appealing, the work charactestics that cross over, where to find the best opportunities, ignoring false positives, and much, much more!

In this week's episode, the first in a two part series, Elizabeth interviews Mariska Maas (@rubreart) about cover design. Elizabeth connected with Mariska on Instagram about book design, especially for writers who are interested in self-publishing, and so this week the emphasis is on cover design and next week will be about formatting the inside of your book. Mariska, who lives in the Netherlands, has been in the book design industry for a long time. As a fellow bookworm, she discovered the publishing industry as her avenue to connect her art and books. Mariska has her own company now where she helps indie authors create book covers that bring them the same recognition as they would receive from a traditional publisher. If you approach Mariska for your book design, the first step is to respond to a series of questions to provide as much detail as possible. The more detail you provide, the easier it is for her to make sure the cover displays important elements of your book and aligns with current industry standards for your genre. You need to have a good idea of what you want for your book because that allows for the best possible cover art. All of Mariska's cover art is illustration, no photos, because it's easier to align with current trends and it's her expertise. If you were to decide to walk through the cover design process with Mariska, you would receive mock ups and have the opportunity to request changes and express your opinion about what you like and don't like. What's great about Mariska's process is she wants you, as the author, to be happy with the outcome and she helps guide you to make sure you get the cover you want and that will be noticed in bookstores and online. Your book cover is your best marketing tool. Mariska recommends connecting with a book cover designer as soon as you have a clear idea about the book you're writing. A lot of artists can get booked way in advance, so if you wait, you might not get the cover in the time frame you expect. So, start shopping around now, even if your manuscript isn't ready. Peak your readers' curiosity with the cover art, so when it becomes available, the cover is recognizable and readers will want to pick it up. It's important to note that if you're hoping to be traditionally published, there's a very slim chance you'll get to use a cover you have someone design for you because publishing houses often have a direction they prefer to go based on how they design their books in house. As an indie author, when you self-publish, having a book cover can add an element of excitement to your book writing process because you start to see your book come to life. When you see the cover, it's the start of visualizing your book being complete and ready for readers. Your cover helps sell your book. You have 7 seconds to appeal to a reader. Even if your book is amazing, if the cover doesn't connect with readers, you won't sell books. If you're listening to this podcast within 3 months of it's launch date, so that would be up until November 25, 2024, Mariska is being incredibly generous to our audience by offering a 5% discount with the code IWC5 on the interest form you complete. You'll want to jump on this opportunity as soon as possible because she's already booking authors into 2025. It's an investment in your writing to take the leap and hire a cover designer. We invite you to subscribe to our email list to be the first to know about our weekly podcast episodes and upcoming group programs for writers!

Today's guest's love of reading was reignited in late 2022 when she found a path into the bookish zeitgeist by reading a super-popular series. Around the same time, Julie Van Huizen found herself surrounded by her friends' end-of-year reading wrap-ups, which left her feeling inspired, intimidated, challenged, and curious. That curiosity led Julie to declare 2023 her year of intentional reading, and it ended up being an exceptional experience that she and Anne talk about today. Julie and Anne explore the monthly reading formula that works for Julie, and what makes for a satisfying reading "diet". They also talk about the power of getting plugged into what Julie calls “the book people network” and why she's so excited about being part of the literary and pop culture conversations. Anne's recommendations today are full of all of the ingredients Julie loves on her shelf. If you have ideas for Julie, we'd love to hear your recommendations: please leave a comment on our show notes page, where you'll also find the list of all the titles we discussed in today's show.
