Caragh Thuring talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Thuring, who was born in Brussels in 1972 and has lived in the UK since 1973 makes paintings that present fragments of images, patterns and abstraction in compositions that often upend the conventions of her medium, while reaffirming its unique descriptive and poetic powers. With motifs that appear and often reappear in morphing forms and combinations, alluding to specific moments in her life, to film or art history, her paintings are in flux, both in their structure and spatial arrangements and in their meaning. They are propositions that cannot easily be resolved or reduced to simple or convenient narrative yet are far from unfocused or bloodless; rather, they arrest us and pull us deep into their mysteries, rewarding us as we spend more time with them, and return to them. She reflects on her interest in forms of slippage across various art forms, the role of drawing in her work, and her admiration of different forms of making, especially when there is a twist in how they are realised. She discusses her early engagement with the paintings of Otto Dix, the delicacy in the handling of Vija Celmins, the awkwardness in the works of Pieter de Hooch and the wildness of René Daniëls. She reflects on her journeys into volcanoes, metaphorically and literally, and on listening to Bach in her studio. Plus, she gives insight into life in the studio, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Caragh Thuring, Thomas Dane Gallery, London, until 19 September Hosted on Acast.

In this first episode of the new series, Lisa Yuskavage talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Yuskavage, was born in Philadelphia in 1962 and lives today in New York, makes paintings that involve a cast of stylised and often eroticised, mostly female characters set within invented interiors and landscapes. Deeply engaged with the history of art and representation, Lisa's pictures explore centuries-old traditions and genres and play with them, along a sliding scale from homage to subversion, sometimes within the space of one canvas. Her figures can derive from everyday observation, draw from soft-porn magazines or a wealth of other pop-cultural sources, or quote from historic paintings. But set within enigmatic spaces, accompanied by a range of props and objects, and allied to Lisa's intoxicating colour sense, they are encapsulated in a singular realm of imagination and unleashed into the peculiar communion between this artist and us—one which can be delightful and disquieting, often at once.She reflects on the “emotional formalism” at the heart of her work, her early visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and trip to Italy and their transformative effect on her work. She discusses the seismic effect of seeing a Giovanni Bellini painting in Venice, the ongoing influence of Marcel Duchamp's Étant Donnés and her admiration for, among others, Agnes Martin, Philip Guston and Laura Owens. She talks about the poet Wallace Stevens's impact on her work and her interest in the films of Stanley Kubrick. Plus, she gives insight into her life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Lisa Yuskavage, David Zwirner, New York, until 26 June. Hosted on Acast.

Being a Brush in Baba's HandsFour decades ago, inspired by Bhagawan Himself, Mr B K Prasad embarked on a remarkable artistic journey by painting portraits of Swami. His very first painting was blessed by Swami in 1987. Since then, he has created more than 160 breathtaking portraits of both Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai, each reflecting not merely artistic skill but profound devotion.Looking back, Mr Prasad feels that his journey has been far more than an exploration of art, it has indeed been a path to self-realisation and salvation. “Painting Swami is nothing but meditation for me,” he says. “In truth, I am not the one holding the brush; it is Swami who holds me. Otherwise, forget painting, I would not even be standing or breathing today.”Among the countless blessings he has received, one remains especially precious: Bhagawan's words, “Your paintings look like photographs.” In this Satsang, Mr Prasad takes us through his extraordinary journey of self-discovery through oil, paint, and brush, sharing how devotion transformed his art into a spiritual sadhana.Professionally, Mr Prasad is a certified Cost Accountant who has enjoyed a distinguished career in senior management roles across finance and information technology with several multinational corporations.

Every creative starts in “yes mode.” Say yes to every project, every client, every opportunity, because that's how you grow. But at some point, that pace stops working. In this minisode, Jen Talley, Courtney Wiesel, Alli K Designs, and the Off the Walls Murals team share what changed when they started getting more selective. Turning down projects that don't fit. Referring work instead of forcing it. Protecting time, energy, and family life. These are the decisions that shape a business you can actually keep up with. If you've been stretched thin or stuck taking on work that doesn't feel like you anymore, this conversation brings you back to what matters, and shows how saying no creates space for better work, better clients, and a business that fits your life.In this episode, you'll hear:Why Jen Talley shifted from saying yes to everything to choosing projects that actually fit her life and directionWhat changes when you stop trying to be everything to everyone and start building around your strengthsHow Alli K Designs handles out-of-scope requests by referring, delegating, or bringing in the right people instead of doing it allHow understanding your market helps you say no with confidence, and avoid work that won't sell or scaleThe mindset shift that helps you price, choose, and operate like your ideal client.The Off the Walls Murals team's approach to setting work hours, protecting family time, and keeping the business sustainableHit rewind on these episodes:Selling on Marketplace in 2026 with Jen Talley of Perfectly Imperfect Furniture RefinishingComing Back From a Creative Break with Courtney Weisel of Steel Birch StudiosSetting Your Prices as an Artist with Alli K DesignBuilding a Creative Business with Your Best Friend feat.

Pricing your work is your favorite guessing game, you say? Don't worry. For most artists, it's their least favorite - and frankly, it shouldn't have to feel like one. This minisode gets real about the messy middle between undercharging, overthinking, and learning the hard way, with honest perspective from Alli K Design, the Off the Walls Murals team, and Kyle Mosher. From showing up to walls way bigger than expected to losing thousands on early mistakes no one warns you about, these are the moments that actually shape how artists start pricing with confidence. What comes through isn't a perfect formula (because there isn't one), but something more useful: a grounded way to think about your numbers, your time, and your value, built through curiosity, community, and experience. If you've ever second-guessed a quote or wondered if you're doing it “right,” this one will feel like a conversation you didn't know you needed.In this episode, you'll hear:Why pricing murals will never be a plug-and-play formula, and what to do insteadHow Alli K approaches pricing through curiosity, community, and asking better questionsWhat a certain muralist learned about time, energy, and setting boundaries (including charging for site visits)The real cost of early business mistakes… and how Kyle Mosher turned them into better systemsWhy outsourcing the parts of your business you avoid can actually make you more moneyHow to balance being the artist and the operator without burning outThe bigger vision behind Off The Walls Murals' work – and how pricing well allows you to give back in a sustainable wayHit rewind on these episodes:Setting Your Prices as an Artist with Alli K DesignBooking Brand Collabs with Artist Kyle MosherBuilding a Creative Business with Your Best Friend feat.

We live in an era of peak accumulation, and families are inheriting more than just memories—they are inheriting mountains of unwanted belongings. This "clutter crisis" is adding unprecedented logistical stress to the grieving process, leaving families exhausted before they even reach the arrangement room. How can funeral professionals help bridge the gap between grief and garbage? In this episode of A Brush with Death, host Gabe Schauf sits down with psychologist Katarina Blom and professional organizer Ella Engström, experts from The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning. They explore the deep psychological anchors of our possessions, the cultural differences in how we handle estates, and the physical roadblocks families face when clearing out a home. Gabe, Katarina, and Ella discuss how modern funeral homes can evolve from traditional service providers into "Legacy Curators." Listeners will learn how to identify clutter burnout during the arrangement conference, the practical value of the "Legacy Box" model, and how to build a trusted referral network to act as the "General Contractor of Grief." Whether you're looking for fresh preneed talking points or innovative at-need service opportunities, this episode provides actionable strategies to offer families the ultimate final gift: peace of mind. Key Takeaways: The psychological impact of physical and digital clutter on the grieving process. Shifting the funeral director's role to include post-service transition support. How to implement the "Legacy Box" to help families curate memories for visitations. Strategies for vetting local clean-out partners and organizers. Bonus from Ella: After recording, Ella reached out with some additional information... Here are some thoughts that can help families or individuals get started with the process. Whether you're sorting through your own belongings or going through a loved one's things, these questions can be a gentle way in. One of the key principles of death cleaning is that it's not just about things, it's about sharing meaning and memories while you still can. That's what makes it so much more than organizing. If you're sorting through your own belongings: 1. Start with one room, one category, not everything at once. 2. Do I use it? Do I love it? Does it make my heart sing? 3. Have I used this item in the last 12 months? 4. If I didn't have this — would I buy it again today? 5. When I hesitate about something, I ask myself: do I really want to deal with this again later or can I make the decision now? 6. If I'm still not sure, can I give myself 30 or 60 days before deciding? (The Dilemma Box method) 7. What do I actually want to pass on, and to whom? 8. Is there someone in the family who would truly treasure this? 9. What would make this home easier for the people I love, if they one day had to go through it? 10. What do I want my belongings to say about the life I lived? Key reminder: if the things you own start draining your energy instead of adding value, that's a sign it's time to take action. If you're helping a family member or going through a loved one's belongings: 1. What does this object mean to me — or what did it mean to them? 2. Am I keeping this out of love, or out of guilt? 3. What would feel like truly honoring this person — keeping everything, or keeping what really matters? 4. Is there someone in the family who would treasure this more? 5. Am I in charge here? (Yes you are. You have the right to make these decisions.) Remember: the memories of a loved one live in your heart, in the stories you share, and in the love they gave you — not in the objects they left behind. And letting go isn't about forgetting the past — it's about making space for the present and for what's ahead. Dare to have conversations with each other while you still can. It's actually a beautiful thing to discover what truly matters to the people you love. You might be surprised by what you find out. And remember: sorting through your own things is one of the greatest gifts you can give the people you love. Sparing them from that burden is an act of love and that's really what döstädning is all about.

0:49: Yes, yes. 0:50: What is Etsy? 0:51: I just got back into cute little, my sister gets me into it. 0:54: She always gets such cute little homemade gifts. 0:56: Well, I bought a 1950s ball gown to wear to a charity thing of course you did, even though you have 700 ball gowns 70 years. 1:03: I'm the ambassador. 1:04: Anyway, let's not talk about fashion. 1:05: Kelly, do you want to start with your spending or your saving? 1:08: Well, I'm wearing both on my face. 1:10: Oh. 1:12: Let's start with Spy. 1:15: Spendy, Spy. 1:18: This is the Smashbox lit sticks, it's called a blush lighter. 1:25: Now, I, you know, any long-term youbie will know that I love to mix like a cream blush with a cream highlighter on the back of my hand or on my cheek and then blend it in together just so I've got like that. 1:37: Luminescent glow from within. 1:40: This is a two in one product. 1:42: That's clever. 1:43: So you know what, it's my spendy, but it's two products. 1:46: Can I ask, so is it like really balmy and juicy and OK, but it does it come in other colors? 1:51: Yes, OK, this is the shade, there's 4 colors, I think scary red. 1:55: It's not, it's called sunset. 1:59: wait till you see how pretty it is. 2:00: Oh gosh, it's nothing like that, I mean. 2:03: That is amazing. 2:04: Isn't it beautiful? 2:04: It's like this beautiful peachy pink with the most pretty grown-up luminescence in it. 2:10: It doesn't have glitter or shimmer, it's just, and it's in a, you know, a chubby bullet, like it looks a lot from like here from the Mecca Max, you know, color bullets, those very standard sort of wind up big, big crayon, but it's, it's a beautiful, like the outside, it looks very quite dark burgundy bricky, but that's amazing inside, so don't. 2:28: Judge a shade by its packaging. 2:30: Exactly, it's just so pretty and that's a universal like that would look good on everyone. 2:34: And that's you could be the, you could have the fairer skin, the deeper skin, that would look beautiful on you. 2:41: $41 and like I just, well it's expensive like given that you could get one probably for $12. 2:48: That's a 2 in one though. 2:49: Also, I, I've been using a bronzer stick exact same shape from a pharmacy brand, it's $40. 2:54: Oh, see that's a little bit ridiculous. 2:56: Everything is now Kelly. 2:58: Back in my day, at least we know that we're gonna pay the exact amount for a brand like Smashbox, rather like, will I get it on sale or won't I get it on sale? 3:06: That's true. 3:07: I got it from Mecca, $41 available in-store online, lit sticks. 3:11: One last question before I get my go, does it stay, do you set, are you a touch? 3:17: I set my blush because blu well if I want it to last all day, blush is the one product I would say that you, it, it fades so much and that's often matte and you then that's not kind of what you want, right? 3:30: Yeah, cos then it just looks like you've got clown face on like that's how I felt about the rare beauty. 3:35: I mean it looked beautiful but you didn't have any working time. 3:37: No, yeah, you don't, this, you've got a lot of working time. 3:40: That's often why if you and I do an early morning record, you are always like about how much blush I've got on, because I know by the end of the day it's going to be an average looking cause it fades. 3:52: So the way you look at 5 p.m. is the most important. 3:54: I'm only joking 100%. 3:56: blush I also would rather have more is more than less is less, so I absolutely love it. 4:02: It's really impressed me. 4:03: I love something a little bit different as well, even though I get excited by blushes in general. 4:07: I just thought that's a lot of fun. 4:08: I'm getting one. 4:09: So my spendy is sort of new but sort of not. 4:12: It's existed overseas for a really long time, and if anyone knows the dermatologist and hair expert, Doctor Leona Yip, can't say I do. 4:20: Oh my God, she's phenomenal. 4:21: I like her name though. 4:22: Yeah, so Doctor Leona Yip, she, there's some exciting content coming up with her that I don't think I'm allowed to tell you about, but anyway, interviewed her recently, then saw her at an event, and we were chatting away and she was telling me about this hairbrush she's working with to bring to Australia. 4:34: And I was like, oh I was thinking, oh great, another bloody hairbrush. 4:37: You know we've got Mason Pearson, we've got those happy brushes that I really like. 4:40: I've got a tangle teaser. 4:41: Yes, me too. 4:43: Anyway, check this out. 4:44: My whole family is fighting over this hairbrush. 4:47: Why? 4:48: It's $185. 4:50: Let me, I'm gonna have to read you the information because it's too scientific for me. 4:54: May I brush it through my hair, please, Kelly, I tried to take my hair out of it. 4:57: I wasn't sure if you would let me. 4:58: Oh my God, no, I'm a sharer, you know that. 5:00: Whoa, OK, so it's called the SB 572 hair and scalp brush. 5:04: Yes, please brush while I go. 5:06: $185. 5:07: It's handcrafted by master artisans in Osaka. 5:11: It's patented, so it's literally, she's given me the patent number. 5:14: I don't know if that's important. 5:15: And it reaches deep into the scalp's pores where your fingers can't or other brushes. 5:19: It feels like someone's scratching my head. 5:22: I love it. 5:22: So keep in mind she's a full-blown doctor, she would not, you know, import or partner with or endorse anything. 5:28: It's got 572 pins, and the multi-level pin structure uses 3 distinct nylon strengths to mimic a rhythmic professional massage. 5:35: It has deep pore precision that lifts the way it kind of gets in there, I don't know, it does though, trust me. 5:41: Like, how good is my hair looking? 5:42: Lifts hidden impurities and excess sebum, and the patented contour fit is a scalp hugging design that ensures contact with every angle that will gently stimulate microcirculation, warming the scalp by 2% to nourish hair roots. 5:57: Lastly, it improves scalp, elasticity and tone, creating the ideal environment for hair growth. 6:02: So obviously she's a doctor and she's not gonna sit there and say, brush your hair with this and your hair will grow faster, but it is the most sort of scientific, You know, get in there, get the angles right, are you OK? 6:14: It's like you went to sleep. 6:15: No, I'm waiting to ask you a question. 6:18: Does my hair look a little bit greasy after I just brushed it? 6:21: Well, no, but you've flattened it a lot. 6:24: I feel like, I don't know what sort of magic, but you know how you said it like goes into your pores. 6:28: Oh yeah, I mean I feel like it just like got all of the grease and oil out of my pores and rubbed it through my hair, not in a bad way, although I think definitely lifting like yours, so yeah, so sorry. 6:39: No, it's fine. 6:40: I love you back you hold on to it for now. 6:42: Keep in mind she's a dermatologist, so she's there about scalp health, so it's gonna lift the impurities, the dead cells, it's gonna stimulate circulation, it increases, you know, the temperature of your scalp with the circulation. 6:52: Your hair looks great. 6:53: I mean, no, we need to fix it. 6:54: You fixed it. 6:55: Have I fixed it, or is it still sitting flat on my head? 6:57: No, now it's very nice. 6:59: It's very, very good. 7:00: Are you being sarcastic? 7:01: No, you just like you can just go like that and you have so much volume. 7:04: People will be jealous. 7:05: It's fried. 7:05: I've got it about maybe. 7:07: Two weeks ago, I, look, you know me, there's probably 18 hairbrushes in each room of my house. 7:12: Everywhere I go, I'm like, Where's the gold one? 7:13: Where's the gold one? 7:14: Alex had it under his bed. 7:15: Of course he did, because it feels so good. 7:17: OK, I'm desperate to get one of those. 7:19: It feels so so good. 7:20: It doesn't feel too firm. 7:22: She said, use it in the shower if you like with conditioner, use it at the end with styling if you want to do that, just use it to brush your hair. 7:28: She said post bath, but I think that just means like out of the shower maybe. 7:31: It's phenomenal. 7:32: I love it. 7:33: That is such a good spend. 7:34: I would, I would spend 185 again and again on that. 7:37: Well, especially if you don't have 12 brushes in each room. 7:40: Well, they're all like Lady Jane when they're on sale, and I think, oh, I've lost mine, and then I'd take it home to join its friends. 7:45: What's your savy? 7:46: Rummage, rummage, rummage. 7:47: It's what I've got on my lips. 7:48: It is the L'Oreal. 7:51: Hyaluron tint lip stain serum. 7:54: I picked this up for 20 bucks the other day at Chemist Warehouse and it's just say like, I do not like when they do the tape and then you can't get it off, like yuck, cos then it's sticky every time you touch it. 8:07: That when I become the boss of the world, I'm gonna make that illegal, like to do that. 8:10: I'll put it on so you can see, it goes on really glossy. 8:12: It looks quite pigmented if that's all you've got on your lips. 8:14: That's all I've got on my lips, so it dries down to a tint that then stays on for a few hours. 8:18: It's really, really beautiful. 8:20: But does it stay glossy, cause your lips still look quite glossy. 8:23: Did you put something on top or she can't talk. 8:25: Really? 8:26: Well, whenever you put that on this morning, your lips were still glo I probably put it on not that long ago, but does it look pretty, or did I just ruin it? 8:34: No, you're very good at doing it. 8:35: So I chose the shade 420, but it's a red tint, an apple red tint. 8:40: I think if you're 420 across L'Oreal's lip colors, that's your red that's OK, then you get your matte or your whatever. 8:46: I. 8:47: Really love how juicy and apply the color is. 8:51: It's so good. 8:51: But then it just dries down and it's just so easy to wear and because I guess it's that serumy texture, it doesn't dry down and feel like I've got nothing on my lips or I've got texture on my lips, like it does feel like I've got a balm still. 9:03: OK, but does that make it stayed good, that's a very good hybrid, but now it feels dry. 9:08: Oh, but you're still so shiny, so shiny. 9:11: Oh, OK, I'm, I'm getting that in nude, of course. 9:14: Yes, yeah, there was heaps of nudes or like nice soft pinks and that sort of thing. 9:17: I just, you know, chose the, the frothing your lips. 9:22: I went to Kmart the other week, looked for you everywhere. 9:25: Whereas, I wasn't there. 9:26: Alas, I was picking up my $3 tassel bag. 9:28: 00, is that from Kmart?

12:39: I thought, bad girl, don't do her job well. 12:41: But that makes sense, and I've been using the mist every single day. 12:44: Yeah, it's so beautiful. 12:45: It's like that really just when you want something light and fresh. 12:49: Well, it's like the shower oil, but you don't have to have a shower. 12:52: Exactly. 12:52: Like that way that it, it just covers and envelopes you in that beautiful just like warm smell. 12:59: I hate the term envelope enveloping in in terms of beauty, but you can't like that brand and that product owns it because it really does like wrap you up in it. 13:07: It does and it like cocoons you with all of your senses. 13:10: OK, so I brought in the supple skin oil. 13:12: I love this product as a good example. 13:14: So this is the old packaging. 13:16: So I mean, lovely, nice, lovely. 13:19: Well you and I both at first were like oh don't change anything. 13:21: I know, well, at first I didn't like it. 13:23: Amy Clark sent me a photo. 13:24: I think it was just a bad photo. 13:25: I was like, ooh, I don't like it. 13:27: But I just think that I resist change sometimes to begin with and then I jump on board, especially once I found out they weren't changing the formula. 13:34: So and then this is the pretty bottle, 200 mLs. 13:38: That's the old one. 13:39: Look at the new one. 13:41: Like, hello, you just grew up, you had an upgrade. 13:46: It's the exact same 100 mL, not 200 mLs. 13:50: Look at that, like, firstly, the box, what a glow up. 13:55: Secondly, the actual bottle. 13:57: You've had a glow up doll. 13:58: Yeah, she really has. 14:00: Oh, I love them both equally, that's because I grew up with that one. 14:02: That's because you like that one looks like a luxury. 14:07: I mean, listen, yeah, you're right, there's nothing wrong with that, but that looks primo, it looks luxe, and given that lux stunt, especially the almond range is a gifting, it's like perfect for gifting either for yourself or for someone else. 14:21: Like having something that just looks that beautiful and lux. 14:24: However, like that, the almond shower oil is Australia's biggest selling shower body wash, shower oil. 14:31: It blows my mind that brands go, wow, this is phenomenal, let's tweak it, like not the, the formula, but like it would have kept selling anyway, so I love that they bother to go, hang on, no, let's modernize the packaging. 14:40: Yeah, they're like. 14:41: Selling one of these every how many seconds, we're making enough money from them, from it, but why not?

Marketing advice online often pushes creators toward trends, virality, and constant output, but it turns out that's not what actually builds a sustainable business. This minisode brings together insights from Shannon McKinstrie, Off the Walls Murals, and Alyssa Vilardi to show what really moves the needle: clear messaging, content that makes people feel connected, and paying attention to the metrics that actually matter (like retention, not just reach). It's a shift from chasing spikes to building something steady, from underpricing to standing behind your value, and from guessing what works to creating with intention, so that your marketing feels like an extension of your work, not something separate from it.In this episode, you'll hear:Why building genuine community matters more than chasing one viral momentThe one element that stops the scroll (and it's not what you think)The metric Instagram cares about that most creators ignoreWhy designing for the algorithm doesn't mean losing yourselfThe pricing mistake almost every creative makesHow certification turns assistants into brand ambassadorsThe financial sustainability detail most creatives overlookHit rewind on these episodes:Social Media Expert Shannon McKinstrie Tells Us How to Grow on InstagramTurning DIY, Motherhood, and Mess Into a Creative Business with Alyssa Vilardi of The Things We BuiltBuilding a Creative Business with Your Best Friend feat.

Andrew Cranston talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Cranston, who was born in 1969 in Hawick, Scotland, draws on experiences—moments seen, felt or remembered—which are filtered, embellished, complicated, and sometimes almost obliterated through the process of being painted. As well as reflecting on personal events, from childhood memories and the recollections of family members, to more recent rituals and exploits, Cranston's pictures are rich in cultural resonance. Images and ideas from the history of art and cinema, from poems and television series, are central to his work, whether as a core motif or a subtle reference in the title. As a result, his practice is deeply concerned with time and history—not just in recalling past events and experiences and transforming them in the present, but in his materials and methods. He often uses the covers of old hardback books, bleached by light over the years, as a surface, for instance, and the paintings hold time in their very physicality—in the immediacy of a painted gesture, in the steady build-up of layers and marks, and in the hints of their journeys to completion. Cranston's paintings reflect his medium's capacity for thrillingly diverse effects, modes and moods; they are full of poetry and longing, as well as absurdity and joy. He reflects on the fragility of his images, how with reiteration they gain meaning and weight. He talks about the silence in his works and what he calls his “fight with visibility”. He discusses a wealth of painterly influences, from Pieter Bruegel the Elder to Paul Klee, Pierre Bonnard and Winifred Nicholson, writers including Hugh MacDiarmid and Elizabeth Bishop, and cinematic and televisual references including the films of Nicholas Roeg and the teleplays of Dennis Potter. Plus, he gives insights into his life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Andrew Cranston: I'm going in a field, Modern Art, Bennet Street, London, until 30 May Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The Forgotten Podcast, host Jami Cave sits down with Jonathan Brush, CEO of Unbound and a foster and adoptive dad of eight, to discuss how to help young adults—especially those not pursuing a college degree—successfully transition into adulthood and thrive. The conversation addresses the unique challenges facing children from the foster care community, such as trauma and learning gaps, by focusing on resilience, practical career opportunities in a questions-based economy, and the necessity of high expectations paired with endless patience. Jonathan reframes success as "thriving" and offers guidance on understanding the "creation of value" in the workplace and the irreplaceable power of community. About the Guest Jonathan Brush is the President and CEO of Unbound. As a first-generation homeschool graduate and a foster and adoptive dad of eight, he is passionate about preparing young adults for life and has spoken on the subject for over a decade. In This Episode Defining success as “thriving” (living a meaningful, important life) rather than fame, fortune, or power. Exploring non-college career options in business (marketing, sales, technology/AI) and the trades (welding, plumbing, electrician). The shift from an "answers-based" paradigm to a "questions-based" paradigm in the modern job market, emphasizing the ability to quickly and effectively master complicated information (QE MCI). Why the inherent resilience and survival skills of foster children are valuable assets in the current market.

Sanya Kantarovsky talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Kantarovsky was born in Moscow in 1982 and emigrated to to Providence, Rhode Island, when he was ten years old. He lives and works in New York City today. His paintings present scenarios that are at once arresting and alluring. Notionally figurative, they reflect an elastic notion of how the body might be represented through paint, as figures appear in unlikely juxtaposition with other bodies and beings—even morphing into plant or animal forms—and occupy landscapes and spaces that are always infused with atmosphere and often potent with threat. Sanya regularly uses the term ostranenija, a word in his native Russia that means “making strange”, as a guiding principle. Encountering his art, one is aware of one's own role in continuing that process: how, after slow-looking, they only grow in complexity. And that richness absorbs many moods and registers, from brutality and solemnity to absurdity and out-and-out humour. He discusses the profound effect of his early access to the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, and particularly Picasso's painting Girl on Ball (1905). He reflects on the influence of a huge breadth of historic painters, including Francisco de Goya, Giorgio de Chirico and Philip Guston, discusses his respect for a number of contemporary artists including Trisha Donnelly and Charline von Heyl, and talks about the significance of a number of figures from other disciplines on his work, from the poet Anna Akhmatova and the choreographer Tatsumi Hijikata to the filmmaker Andrei Tarkovksy. Plus, he gives insight into his life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Sanya Kantarovsky: Basic Failure, Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, Palazzo Loredan, Venice, 6 May–22 November Hosted on Acast.

Joined on this episode by the one and only Brian Brush (CRUSH) and you better be ready, because we're diving deep into rescue data. He's coming on to release and discuss the initial findings from the 2026 rescue count. We compare it to the 2021 project and what trends we can quantify, and what trends we are seeing over the last five years.With over 500 structure fire incidents across the U.S. in the first 90 days of 2026 where a civilian rescue was made. That's 5.6 structure fire incidents per day involving a rescue, roughly one every 4 hours and 16 minutes. Nearly 1,000 civilians rescued from those incidents. An average of 1.9 victims per fire where a rescue occurs. Roughly 11 Americans rescued by firefighters every single day. The data is already telling a powerful story!We also talk Fire Engineering and FDIC with the big show right around the corner. And of course, talking to Crush always needs to include what is going on at his department and the culture of live fire and training that they have built.The audience as always brought the great questions... which is what makes the Scrap the absolute best!!!Share this everywhere!!!
