Podcasts about Carman

Cavaliers Chief Marketing Officer Chris Kaiser joins Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to break down Friday's 10-year anniversary celebration of the 2016 championship, including a new championship-themed basketball court and a commercial-free replay of Game 7 at the Meet Me Here Plaza downtown. Kaiser opens up about how tricky it is to honor the franchise's past while staying focused on a current team fresh off an Eastern Conference Finals run, especially with LeBron James's free agency looming over everything the marketing department plans. Carman also gets Kaiser to explain the surprisingly well-organized process behind auctioning off the actual seat Taylor Swift sat in during the playoffs, which fetched a notable price for charity.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down the fallout from their interview with Dane Brugler, with Carman pushing back on fans who are either over-hyping Brendan Sorsby as a savior or trashing him purely to spite Shedeur Sanders supporters. Carman walks through why evaluators separate game outcomes from prospect grading, using Jackson Dart and Trevor Lawrence as examples of why traits and developmental timelines matter more than head-to-head college results, while still drawing a line at spending more than a third-round pick on Sorsby. The two also dig into the wild detail of Texas Tech paying out Sorsby's reported financial package anyway, and debate how the timing of NFL discipline and a team's coaching stability could end up shaping who actually takes the swing.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima keep hashing out the Brendan Sorsby supplemental draft debate, this time fielding callers who compare the gambit to past Browns gambles on troubled talent like Johnny Manziel and Josh Gordon. Carman draws a sharp line between Sorsby's situation and the Luis Ortiz-style "Class A" betting scandal, pointing out there's no evidence of game-fixing and that the worst behavior may be tied to a specific period when Sorsby wasn't even playing. The conversation also digs into how a personal conduct versus substance abuse classification could affect how much access Sorsby gets to the building during any suspension, using the Giants' handling of Jaxson Dart as a comparison point for how a team can quietly develop a young quarterback behind the scenes.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down Sam Quinn's odds on LeBron James's free agency, with Cleveland sitting at a measly five percent behind the Lakers, Warriors, and outright retirement, and Carman explains why the Cavs' cap situation makes a reunion financially brutal even if James wanted it. The two debate whether it would actually be a good thing for LeBron to close out his career in Cleveland versus chasing a ring elsewhere, with Carman arguing a homecoming would mean far more to fans than people want to admit, using Kobe Bryant's farewell season as the emotional comp. They circle back to the "participation trophy" debate from earlier in the show, with Carman arguing the wide-open nature of this year's title race is exactly why a 41-year-old LeBron could still be a difference-maker for whichever team lands him.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima spiral into an extended back-and-forth about Cleveland sports nicknames, debating whether anyone actually calls Chase DeLauder "CDL," why Tito always seemed to make player nicknames longer instead of shorter, and Carman's refusal to ever use "Spida" for Donovan Mitchell. A caller pokes fun at both hosts for their own nickname habits, leading to a detour into old Browns and Indians nickname history before the guys set up their upcoming interview with Cavaliers executive Chris Kaiser. The whole segment is the kind of loose, bickering tangent that somehow still ties back to bigger questions about Jose Ramirez, Gavin Williams, and the Browns quarterback situation looming over the show.

Ken Carman pushes back hard on the growing narrative that the James Harden trade was a bust, walking through the numbers and arguing the on-off splits clearly show Harden was a real upgrade over Darius Garland, especially defensively. He and Lima debate what "failure" even means for a team that made a deeper playoff run than anyone expected, and Carman draws a line between not winning a championship and being an outright disaster, pointing to the Knicks' OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges trades as proof narratives can flip fast. The two also touch on Daniel Jeremiah's comparison of Brendan Sorsby to Jaxson Dart before wrapping up ahead of their interview with Cavaliers CMO Chris Kaiser.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima rip into ESPN's Vincent Goodwill for calling the NBA championship a "participation trophy" given how many different teams have won it lately, with Carman calling the comment asinine and pushing back hard on the idea that parity cheapens a title. The two dig into why the NBA gets treated so differently than football and baseball when it comes to judging stars who haven't won it all, name-checking Joel Embiid, James Harden, and Victor Wembanyama along the way. They also touch on the Cavs' surprising place in the championship conversation despite the recent fan pessimism. Then the conversation pivots hard into the Guardians' rough start to a crucial stretch, with the offense suddenly without two of its top power sources.

Ken and Lima break down why Emory Hunt's bold 10-win prediction for the Browns actually makes total sense once you factor in his belief in Shedeur Sanders, and uses it to reveal a foolproof way to tell if someone covering the Browns is being honest about their win total or just blowing smoke. Carman and Lima go back and forth on whether a coach picking the "wrong" rookie quarterback over Joe Flacco would actually be gross negligence, or if it just doesn't matter because neither option separates itself enough. Before all that, the guys also get roasted by listeners and each other over Jose Ramirez's injury, old wrestling photos, and one very unlucky kid who may have hexed the Guardians' third baseman.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig into the wild idea floated by Albert Breer that the Browns could target Brendan Sorsby in the supplemental draft, even with the threat of a lengthy suspension looming over his head. Carman lays out why spending anything more than a fourth or fifth-round pick on Sorsby means the front office has to have a borderline blind faith in a guy nobody will actually get to see play for weeks, and explains why that level of investment would essentially take the Browns out of next year's loaded quarterback class. The two also debate whether the front office has actually earned any benefit of the doubt given the franchise's track record, and whether passing on a stacked group of receivers and corners is really worth the gamble.

Ken and Lima break down the conflicting messages coming from the Browns front office regarding quarterback Brendan Sorsby. They compare coach Todd Monken's harsh assessment of Sorsby's character to GM Andrew Berry's more measured stance on second chances. The discussion explores whether the franchise can handle another controversial quarterback situation amidst the supplemental draft. 02:06 - Handling Character Concerns 08:06 - Gambling Contaminating Character 13:36 - Monken Eviscerates Sorsby 18:45 - Browns Draft Philosophy 22:22 - Carman's Champions Pose 27:53 - Setting Up For Failure 35:10 - College Litigation Drama 40:30 - NFL Suspension Rules

Host of NBA TodaJustin Termine joins Anthony Lima and Ken Carman to analyze the NBA Finals and the progress of the Cleveland Cavaliers. They debate the value of James Harden and Evan Mobley before discussing the Browns' interest in Brendan Sorsby. Additionally, Carman shares a personal story regarding a midnight security scare at his home. 01:20 - Cavs and NBA Rumors 04:26 - Browns Quarterback Conspiracy Theories 08:52 - Debate Over Risky Draft Prospects 14:52 - Termine Analyzes NBA Finals 20:16 - Wembanyama vs LeBron Comparisons 25:15 - Heated Debate Over James Harden 34:40 - Carman's Midnight Security Scare

Description:If you grew up on Christian music in the '90s, there's a good chance Testify to Love wasn't just a hit song—it was the soundtrack to a season of your life. Three decades after Avalon first released the iconic anthem, Jen sits down with original Avalon member Michael Passons, longtime Avalon vocalist Melissa Greene, and country music star Ty Herndon to talk about the remarkable re-release of a song that has found new meaning for a new generation. But this isn't simply a conversation about music. It's the untold story behind one of CCM's most beloved songs. Michael shares the painful reality of losing his place in Avalon after coming out as gay. Melissa reflects on the faith journey that transformed her understanding of inclusion and belonging. Ty opens up about his own path through addiction, recovery, faith, and finally living fully and truthfully as himself. Together, they revisit the song that connected millions of listeners and explore why its message of love, acceptance, and human dignity feels more relevant now than ever. Filled with laughter, tears, hard-earned wisdom, and more than a few moments that will leave you reaching for the tissues, this conversation is a beautiful testament to friendship, healing, and the courage it takes to live loud. Whether Testify to Love has been on your playlist for thirty years or you're hearing its story for the first time, this episode is a powerful reminder that love's truest testimony is not who it excludes—but who it embraces. Thought-provoking Quotes: “I lost my community, my family, my career, all within a couple of seconds. That's a lot to process.” - Michael Passons "The people I loved and the fullness of their humanity butted up against my theological positions. I had to ask myself: Do I keep creating fences and becoming more exclusive? Or could it be that my views of God, humanity, and the world need to change?" – Melissa Greene "What I've noticed in the lives of people who have allowed themselves to evolve and change their mind is that that process pulls us toward an expansiveness that is just magical." - Jen Hatmaker “You don't live in the church, the church lives in you. You have an opportunity right now to start your own church and decide who sits at your table. No one can kick you out of your own church.” - Ty Herndon Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Avalon - https://www.avalonthegroup.com/ Carman - https://carman.org/ Stephen Curtis Chapman - https://store.stevencurtischapman.com/ Kirk Franklin - https://kirkfranklin.com/ Michael's Instagram Reel - https://www.instagram.com/reels/DY6_JF6BDyO/ Dottie Rambo - https://www.dottierambo.net/ Testify to Love - https://music.apple.com/us/song/testify-to-love-feat-melissa-greene/1893435396 Testify to Love video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l7IPvr6b8s Melissa's Links: Website - https://www.melissagreene.net Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/melissagreene Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/melissagreeneofficial/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWQpP8gHH7vew99LcQJs3Og Substack - https://melissagreene.substack.com/p/testify-to-love Michael's Links: Website - https://michaelpassons.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/michaelpassons/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/michaelpassonsmusic Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@michaelpassonsmusic TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelpassonsmusic Ty's Links: Website - https://www.tyherndon.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tyherndonofficial/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tyherndonofficial Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialTyHerndon TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@tyherndonofficial Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

In this special shorter episode, there are no dramatized retellings. No fictional reenactments. Just a folklore field report from the deep hollers of the Ouachita Mountains, told the way it might've been told on a porch a hundred years ago. Pull up a chair and listen in as Carman shares what she learned about the old mountain ways—the folk magic, healing traditions, and dark whispers that have lived in these ancient hills for generations:

Discover why Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and Bugsy Siegel made this mountain town their criminal headquarters during Prohibition. Hear the terrifying tales of the Lady in White at the Arlington Hotel, the ghostly woman who haunts the Fordyce Bathhouse, and the drowned spirits still calling for help from the depths of the Ouachita River. From the opulent Art Deco bathhouses of Bathhouse Row to the gangster-era gambling dens, from mysterious ghost lights hovering over dark waters to shadowy figures in speakeasy bars—Hot Springs is where healing and horror collide.

Helene Tessier didn't plan a career in marketing. She started at the French consulate in China and taught English abroad. When COVID brought her home, she stumbled into TPAC as an interpreter. Soon after, leadership asked her to run marketing. In this conversation with Jeff and Carman, she explains why TPAC's PhD-heavy, flat organizational culture wanted someone willing to learn. She also shares how she rebuilt the company's go-to-market strategy. Her approach centered on trade shows, application-driven web content, and a bold brand presence at the World Conference on NDT (non-destructive testing) that the industry still talks about. Helene also digs into why technical, engineering-led firms struggle with brand rollout. She explains how regulatory and certification changes act as buying triggers in NDT, and what a five-person buying committee means for content strategy. To close, she offers a refreshingly grounded take on AI for marketers entering the field today.

Carman and Lima vent their frustrations after the Cavaliers fall behind 0-2 in their series against the Knicks, specifically criticizing Evan Mobley's lack of involvement.

Most small-to-mid manufacturers know they've under-invested in marketing, but where do you even begin? Javier Lozano, Founder of Bolder Media and a fractional CMO, joins Carman and Jeff to lay the foundation. He explains why your founder's origin story falls flat, how to mine real differentiation from customer interviews, and why your brand should be more Yoda, the guide, than Luke, the hero. Plus: how to find a wedge in a “red ocean” without making yourself unfindable, and what a fractional CMO actually does that a consultant or full-time hire can't.

In the summer of 2019, videos started appearing on TikTok that made viewers sleep with the lights on. A woman in a white dress, dancing alone on empty streets. Nothing that unusual—except her movements were wrong. Joints bending at angles that made your stomach turn, limbs jerking like a marionette with cut strings, bare feet slapping pavement with mechanical violence. The videos spread like wildfire, spawning thousands of recreations, alleged sightings, and one of the internet's most disturbing urban legends: the Serbian Dancing Lady.

In the summer of 2019, videos started appearing on TikTok that made viewers sleep with the lights on. A woman in a white dress, dancing alone on empty streets. Nothing that unusual—except her movements were wrong. Joints bending at angles that made your stomach turn, limbs jerking like a marionette with cut strings, bare feet slapping pavement with mechanical violence. The videos spread like wildfire, spawning thousands of recreations, alleged sightings, and one of the internet's most disturbing urban legends: the Serbian Dancing Lady. Unlike most creepypasta that admits its fictional origins, this legend lives in an uncomfortable space between digital folklore and street-level terror. People in Belgrade claim to have seen her. Videos purport to show real encounters.
