The Harvard Study of Adult Development, often referred to as the Grant Study, is widely recognized as the longest-running, in-depth scientific study of adult life ever conducted. I recently published an episode I did with the director, Robert Waldinger. The results of the study have now famously shown us that what most fulfills us in life is relationships. Of course not just any relationships, but the truly valuable and significant relationships of our lives. It's proven very difficult to have such relationships, if we can't effectively communicate with others. And by effectively communicate, we mean to actually connect in a meaningful way. So in this episode I bring you Renée Marino. Renée is a renowned Broadway star, singing, acting, and dancing in West Side Story, Pretty Woman, and Jersey Boys. Her lead role in Jersey Boys caught the eye of famed actor Clint Eastwood who took her from the stage and cast her for the lead female role in his film, Jersey Boys. Renée's livelihood is communicating. She must connect with and move the audience, and she's a master. Following Clint's film, Renée turned her attention to the professional and personal world and is showing us the heart and skill of real communication. The kind that does just what Renée does on stage, on film, and in her personal life...truly connects us with others in a meaningful way that moves them to engage with us. I connected with Renée so much I had her come back and co-host a bunch of episodes with me, we co-presented at a speaking event together, and became good friends. Renée has culminated her methodology of communicating in her book, Becoming a Master Communicator: Balancing New School Technology with Old School Simplicity, which you can get anywhere and just search for Renée Marino and you'll find her everywhere.

This week on Season 18, the queens take on a musical send-up of Annie in the “Fanny: The Hard Knock Ball” Ruzical. On the runway, the category is “Beige Against the Machine,” challenging the dolls to elevate one of fashion's most unforgiving colors. After critiques, Jane Don't is named the winner of the challenge. Juicy Love Dion and Athena Love Dion land in the bottom two and lip sync against each other for survival. In the end, Juicy is told “Shantay, you stay,” and Athena is asked to sashay away. In this episode of The Big Takeaway, Joe and Lauri break down the judging, the performances, and whether the producers made the right calls. MAIN DISCUSSION POINTS Did the right queen win? Both Joe and Lauri agree that Jane Don't earned her win. While her personality may divide the room, her comedic timing, vocal performance, and overall command of the Ruzical stood out. Even if she's bracing for the inevitable “target on my back” narrative, the win felt justified. Were the right queens in the bottom? This is where things get contentious. Joe and Lauri question the decision to place Juicy and Athena in the bottom when several other performances felt weaker. The judges claimed they were “splitting hairs,” but that justification opens the door to almost any elimination outcome. The sense is that production may have seized the opportunity to finally pit the Dion sisters against each other. Did the right queen go home? The consensus: probably not. While Athena may not have delivered a standout performance, the argument is made that other queens have repeatedly escaped the bottom despite underwhelming showings. The elimination feels more producer-driven than performance-driven. THE RUZICAL ITSELF Joe's big frustration: clarity. While the songs were solid and the performances mostly strong, the narrative of the musical felt muddled. The story beats were difficult to track, and the emotional arc never fully landed. Strong songs alone aren't enough — the storytelling needs to connect. Lauri's take? The expectations may have shaped the judges' reactions. Certain performances were praised as “Broadway level,” but she questions whether they truly met that bar. Solid? Yes. Elite? Debatable. BIG TAKEAWAY When judges say they're “splitting hairs,” it often signals that the outcome was predetermined. If everyone did well, then technically anyone can be critiqued into the bottom. The tension this week didn't feel rooted in performance quality so much as timing and storyline. As the competition narrows and stronger queens continue to go home, the structure of the season starts to feel increasingly engineered. We're officially down to seven queens — and with teases of something major happening next week, the competition may be about to shift again. Join us next week as Joe and Lauri continue breaking down every twist, performance, and questionable judging decision from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18.

In this forward-looking episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., sits down with AI practitioner and marketing maestro Chris Strom of Sunrise Association to tackle a question that's buzzing louder than a caffeinated chatbot: what can artificial intelligence actually do for fundraising? Chris doesn't sugarcoat it. Yes, AI can be wrong. Yes, hallucinations happen. But as he explains, the magic isn't in blind trust, it's in smart partnership. Think of AI not as your replacement, but as your overachieving intern who works at lightning speed and still needs supervision. Used wisely, it augments your intelligence, multiplies your output, and frees you to do what fundraisers do best: build real relationships with real people. One of the biggest “aha” moments Chris shares is the power of prompting, because typing a lazy one-liner into ChatGPT and hoping for brilliance is like whispering “abracadabra” and expecting Broadway. His practical CRAFT framework is the game-changer: Context (who you are and what's happening), Role (the perspective the AI should take), Action (what you want it to do), Format (email, report, etc.), and Tone (make it sound like you). With the right ingredients, AI transforms from a novelty into heavy machinery for your marketing and development shop. The difference between “meh” output and mission-moving copy? Specificity and strategy. Chris also shares how AI becomes a nonprofit's “second brain.” By using transcription tools like MacWhisper alongside platforms such as ChatGPT, he captures meetings, webinars, and brainstorming sessions; then instantly generates summaries, next steps, and polished notes. The result? Hours saved. Brainpower preserved. Follow-up executed. He's even built custom GPTs loaded with brand guidelines, mission language, and campaign data so his entire team can generate on-brand, accurate messaging without second-guessing tone or statistics. It's like having a marketing assistant who never sleeps and always remembers the style guide. The episode closes with a practical, and slightly prophetic, note: invest wisely. While free tools can be powerful, paid subscriptions offer critical privacy protections and better performance. For roughly $20 a month, Chris argues, the return on investment is enormous when measured in reclaimed hours and enhanced productivity. His advice? Start small. Pick one task you're doing today, invite AI into the process, and experiment. We're still in the “early innings,” he says, and the fundraisers who learn to swing now will be miles ahead as the technology matures. The future isn't coming, it's here. And for nonprofits willing to engage thoughtfully, AI may just be the most practical superpower in the fundraising toolkit.

A cult classic, Waiting for Guffman is a mockumentary chronicling a small community theatre's production of its town's history. Boasting a host of exceptional improv actors — Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, and Fred Willard to name a few — the Christopher Guest written and directed feature is jam packed with laughs. Guest, who also serves as the films lead Corky St. Clair, is in his comfort zone here. He gets the material, letting the actors take command and playing to their immense comedic strengths. Although it is beloved now, Waiting for Guffman was not a huge hit. In fact, it barely made it to the big screen. Its critical success, however, did lead to several more films in the same vein — Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and For Your Consideration. All of which are worth watching, as well. So, sit back, calm those jitters with a Fear.Movie.Lions Hazy Double IPA, and break a leg! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are done working for these bastard people!

“I like to be a team player. All the projects I do are collaborations. And I want to solicit the opinions and help of other people.” — MadonnaIn this episode we explore Madonna's work as part of an ensemble, where her screen presence shifts from center stage to something looser, sharper, and often more playful.First we visit Bloodhounds of Broadway, a strange, stylish Prohibition-era anthology packed with eccentrics, jazz, and theatrical energy. Madonna appears as Hortense Hathaway, drifting through smoky nightclubs and overlapping storylines in a film that feels less like a traditional movie and more like a late-night fever dream.Then we head to A League of Their Own, where Madonna's Mae Mordabito steals scenes with confidence, comedy, and unforgettable locker-room energy. We talk about why this role works so well for her, how the film balances multiple storylines, and what it reveals about Madonna as a character actor inside a beloved ensemble classic. To help us unpack the film's tone, performances, and where Madonna fits inside its chaos, we're joined once again by friend of the pod (check her out in our episode on Dick Tracey), MERRY GRISSOM! Merry helps us look at each film's legacy, their cultural impact, and the raw star power of Madonna.Email us: TheCelebrationCelebration@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram: @TheCelebrationCelebrationPick up a copy of Eric's book: The Dancerhttps://a.co/d/0gAi3bePick up a copy of John's book: Baked!

Welcome Philly-native Tom Kinka! Tom is currently the touring drummer for up-and-coming country artist Lecade. Growing up in a music-heavy family shaped by Rock Band, Blink-182, and country music in his mom's car, Tom's passion for music and the drums was developed at an early age. Tom shares how a serious car accident and coma at 17 sharpened his focus on music, leading to a fearless, “persistence and idiocy” approach. He discusses leaving a jazz program at Temple for media production, navigating Philly's DIY pop-punk scene, moving to Nashville during COVID, learning country on the fly for Broadway, seeking lessons directly from his heroes like Josh Manuel and Luke Holland, and landing the Lecade gig—plus touring highlights, onstage gear fails, evolving drum setups, and his obsession with stick tricks and community. We hope you enjoy!Chapters:0:00 Intro1:09 Welcome, Tom! 4:34 Music Family Roots 10:57 Blink-182 and Green Day Obsession 12:29 Near-Death Accident 17:27 Broadway Rookie Mistakes 18:15 Rezo Custom Drum Heads (Sponsor) 19:18 Quitting Jazz at Temple 20:44 Philly DIY Pop-Punk Scene 23:57 The Move to Nashville 30:46 Studying w/ Luke Holland 32:32 Drum Box (Sponsor) 33:13 Broadway vs Touring Life 36:58 Meeting Lecade 50:00 Rig Rundown and Gear Changes 53:27 Stage Style and Band Vibes 57:32 Low Boy Beaters (Sponsor) 58:14 Moments from Tour 1:03:36 Drum Supply (Sponsor) 1:04:35 Mastering Stick Tricks 1:15:19 Music City Audiology (Sponsor) 1:16:01 Nashville Drum Community 1:25:47 Rapid Fire Questions 1:30:10 OutroThank you to our Episode Sponsors:Rezo Custom Drum Headshttps://rezoheads.comDrum Boxhttps://drumbox.spaceDrum Supplyhttps://www.drumsupply.comLow Boy Beatershttps://lowboybeaters.comMusic City Audiologyhttp://musiccityaudiology.comConnect with Tom:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tom_kinkaMusic Featured in this Episode:"Blind" - Lecade"LET U GO" - JaxsonFreeSupport the showConnect with us:WebsiteInstagramTikTokYouTubeFacebookRecorded at Garden Groove Recording Space, Nashville, TNPodcast Artwork: GENUINE CREATIVE ART ⓒ 2026 Nashville Drummers Podcast, LLC

In this episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie and Nikki sit down with the endlessly charismatic Josh Segarra to talk wrestling dreams, Broadway roots, dad life, and his latest role in Fox's Best Medicine. From starring in Abbott Elementary, She-Hulk, Scream 6, and The Other Two, to lighting up the stage on Broadway in On Your Feet, Josh has truly done it all, and somehow still makes time for school pickups and rehearsal at 4:30. We love a working dad king!Of course, we had to dive into his wrestling fandom. Josh shares how he grew up idolizing the Ultimate Warrior and why he'd absolutely say yes if WWE ever called. We're already fantasy booking Sheriff Mark with handcuffs at ringside to help The Bellas snag those tag titles. Manifestation activated! And when it comes to comedy, Josh opens up about sharpening his tools on Broadway, honoring great writing, and how the best laughs often come from truth, not improv. He also gets candid about rejection, jealousy, overthinking, and dealing with online hate, dropping wisdom that honestly feels like its own form of best medicine.Between talk of Chinese food therapy, Frosty-and-fries debates, and heartfelt reflections on fatherhood, this episode is funny, grounded, and unexpectedly inspiring. Josh reminds us that comparison is the thief of joy, that overthinking is usually fiction we write in our own heads, and that sometimes the best cure is turning off the noise and going home to the people who love you. So whether you need a laugh, a pep talk, or just a reminder that you're doing better than you think, you're going to want to press play. Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!
