Podcasts about Carving

Yesterday I was sitting with an intern — three businesses, three sets of financials, three different industries spread out in front of us. Restaurants. Retail. Travel. Profit & Loss statements, balance sheets. And we're just digging in.   I asked her if any of this was the same as what she's learning in school. She looked at me and said, "God, no."   That answer stayed with me.   Because here's what we were really doing — we weren't just running numbers. We were reading a story. Food sales were up, but food cost shot up even more. Dairy up. Produce up. Meat down. Weather impacts. Fuel. All of it showing up in the space between the notes. Which is exactly what someone told me years ago when I was studying piano — the music lives in the space between the notes, not just the notes themselves.   Your business is the same way. The numbers, the foot traffic, the team dynamics, the cashflow rhythm — it's all telling you something. The question is whether you're willing to open your eyes, your ears, and your heart enough to hear it.   This episode is built around three things I walked that intern through — the same three things I come back to every time I'm in the weeds with a business. Story. Rhythm. Consistency. Not a cookie-cutter method someone handed you. A framework you build on your own terms, from the inside out.   If your business feels like it's whispering and you keep talking over it — this one's for you.   Key Takeaways: • Your numbers aren't just data — they're a story. Dairy up, produce up, meat down, weather impacts: every detail is a sentence in the chapter your business is trying to hand you. • The space between the notes is where the real information lives. Don't just read the headline metrics. Read what's in between them. • AI is most powerful when you already know what story you're trying to understand. Use it to interpret, not just to process. • Finding your rhythm with your team builds the bridge between the people running the business and the people making the results happen. Rhythm first. Flow follows. • Consistency is what creates congruency. When everyone's plating the dish the same way, running lineup notes the same way, showing up to meetings the same way — that's how alignment actually gets built. • Flow isn't something you chase. It's something you fall into when the story, the rhythm, and the consistency are all working together. • You're not following a cookie-cutter path. You're carving your own — and that only happens when you listen to what your business is actually trying to tell you.   Timestamps / Chapter Markers: 00:02   A mentoring session and three sets of financials on the table 00:45   What they were actually looking at — P&Ls and balance sheets 01:20   The real question: what do these numbers mean for how we run the business? 02:24   Three businesses, three industries: restaurants, retail, travel — and the nuances between them 03:00   Prime cost, table turns, GMROI — the metrics that are different by industry 03:45   The intern's answer: "God, no" — she's learning way more here than in school 04:10   The story starts to surface: food sales up, food cost up even more — what happened? 04:37   Dairy up, produce up, meat down — the nitty-gritty details that add up to a chapter 05:10   The piano lesson: the music lives in the space between the notes 05:45   Reading between the lines — how to hear what the numbers are actually communicating 06:15   The 360-degree view: why the story matters as much as the spreadsheet 07:02   Point One — your whole business is telling you a story 07:30   Broken processes, wrong people, ordering waste — the story reveals it all if you're willing to look 08:00   AI as a creative partner — using it to interpret the story, not just process tasks 08:30   What opens up when you stop checking boxes and start listening 09:00   Story leads to creative solutions — the customer experience, the business moving forward 09:24   Point Two — finding your rhythm 09:50   Rhythm with your team builds the bridge between leaders and the people creating results 10:15   Rhythm in cashflow — what does the weekly pattern actually look like? 10:40   Rhythm in numbers, processes, foot traffic, marketing, projects — it's all connected 11:05   Rhythm leads to flow. Flow is alignment. Flow is elevated thinking and elevated creativity. 11:20   Point Three — consistency 11:35   Consistency → congruency → alignment: plating food, running lineup notes, showing up the same way every time 11:49   The close: your business, your numbers, your heart — all telling you a story. Are you listening? 12:10   Carving your own path — on your own terms, not someone else's cookie-cutter method   If this episode hit — if you've been running your business and you know, somewhere underneath it all, that you haven't really been listening to the story it's trying to tell you — share this one. Send it to the founder who's buried in spreadsheets but can't figure out why nothing is moving. Send it to the leader who's grinding through a checklist but feels like something's off.   Hit follow so you don't miss the next one. And if you've been listening for a while and this show has been valuable to you, a review means more than you know — it helps more founders like you find their way here.   READY TO UNCOVER THE BLIND SPOT HURTING YOUR SMALL BUSINESS?

In this episode of Her Starring Role, our host Michele Lamoureux explores the concept of capacity—your day‑to‑day life force, energy, and bandwidth—and how it shifts through different seasons of life. She shares three practical ways to gently expand your capacity so there's more left for you at the end of the day: Carving out 30 minutes daily for something that matters only to you (health, creativity, learning, or connection). Setting boundaries around what you say yes and no to, especially habitual obligations that drain your energy. Prioritizing quality sleep by creating supportive routines and environments that help you truly rest.   This episode is an invitation to honor your current season, reclaim your bandwidth, and intentionally add more joy, play, and meaning into your everyday life—without comparison or pressure to "do it all."   RESOURCES + BOOKS MENTIONED: Join Michele's Newsletter + Get a List of 52-Selfcare Tips Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@herstarringrole Follow + Listen, + Review: APPLE PODCASTS Follow + Listen, + Review: SPOTIFY PODCASTS   If you enjoyed today's show, please share it with a friend.

Hoppy Quick has been chainsaw carving bears in the Catskills since 1979 — but he'll tell you he's not an artist. He's a spiritual being who found himself through the bear.In this wide-ranging conversation, we visit Hoppy at his home in Samsonville — a converted 1951 school bus, a canvas teepee workshop, a crackling fire ring, and a horse named Ginny — and quickly discover that a conversation about whittling wood leads somewhere much deeper.We talk about his 47-year search for the perfect bear face, carving as meditation, and what it means to live in grace. Hoppy shares the story behind the Heart Tribe, his COVID-era community of tens of thousands, and reflects on ego, fear, the divine feminine, AI, and why he believes the path forward is exactly 16 inches — from your head to your heart.As the world seems to be straining at its seams, Hoppy emerges like a bear from the tree line — unexpected, unhurried, and offering a wise and grounding call to our higher selves.

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, Autel, and Independent Wrench JobsWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode, Matt takes on a question that listeners have apparently been enjoying asking: what's on his “Mount Rushmore” of various categories? Before getting there, though, he gives a quick follow-up to the No Good Deed Goes Unpunished home-plumbing saga, where a simple bathroom fix turned into tracking down a hidden bathtub drain leak caused by questionable original construction choices.From there, Matt dives into his personal Mount Rushmore lists, starting where it matters most for this audience: scan tools and lab scopes. He walks through the tools that earned their place not necessarily because they are the newest, but because they were foundational, capable, and memorable in the evolution of automotive diagnostics. Then, in classic Matt fashion, things branch out into pro wrestling and podcasting, with some thoughtful distinctions between popularity, performance, influence, and personal appreciation.This one is part diagnostics nostalgia, part opinion piece, part rabbit hole and fully in the spirit of a listener driven episode.In This Episode:A follow-up to the bathroom plumbing story and a cracked bathtub drain elbowA discussion on questionable construction practices and what motivates rushed workmanshipMatt's Mount Rushmore of scan toolsMatt's Mount Rushmore of lab scopes / oscilloscopesA two-tier Mount Rushmore of professional wrestlers: biggest draws / most popular. Best in-ring performersMatt's Mount Rushmore of podcastersMatt's Mount Rushmore: Scan ToolsMatt frames this as a historical and personal list rather than a current buying guide.Tools that made the cut:GM Tech 2 – still a lifesaver when other tools come up shortSnap-on Red Brick (especially graphing versions / MTG 2500) – a huge leap forward in capability and accessibilityAutel MaxiSys / Maxisys-era tools (especially the early highly capable platforms) – a major step forward for aftermarket capabilityVAG-COM / VCDS – absurd capability for the price, especially for Volkswagen/Audi workMatt's Mount Rushmore: Lab ScopesA list built around influence, usefulness, and personal experience.Scopes that made the cut:Pico 4425A – the standard-setter and Matt's personal favoriteSnap-on Vantage Pro – portable, capable, and still highly valued in the shopPico ADC 212 series (especially the 212/3) – a major turning point in what techs expected from a scopeFluke 98 – one of the early serious handheld automotive lab scopes that helped shape the categoryMatt's Mount Rushmore: Professional WrestlersMatt splits this into two categories because wrestling is both performance and business.Biggest Draws / Most Popular:Hulk HoganThe RockStone Cold Steve AustinJohn CenaBest In-Ring Performers:Shawn MichaelsBret HartAJ StylesRic FlairMatt's Mount Rushmore: PodcastersA mix of influence, longevity, reach, and personal listening.Names and shows discussed:Soft White UnderbellyJoe RoganKevin Smith / Scott Mosier (SModcast)Lex FridmanWith an honorable and very relevant nod to:Carm Capriotto in the automotive podcast spaceNotable Themes:This episode really leans into a fun idea, but there's still a deeper thread running through it:“Best” is not always the same as “favorite”Influence mattersFoundational tools and people deserve credit even when newer options existLegacy, capability, and context all shape what belongs on a personal “Rushmore”Listener Call-Out:Matt wants to know:Do you like this kind of episode?Do you want more “Mount Rushmore” discussions?What automotive-specific categories should be next?Thanks to our Partner, Pico TechnologyAre you chasing elusive automotive problems?

This discussion features: Judah Thomas, Lenny Selgado, Johnny V., Mike McHugh, and James Gowell.Edited by: Tim NicholsonIn Week 10 we continue our study on Hebrews 4 through 6 and we encourage you to read along with us. This episode is called “God's Not Done Carving.” We talk about the kind of faith that doesn't just start, it stays. Hebrews confronts our obsession with instant results and exposes the quiet drift that happens when we want maturity without process, peace without practice, and a “gold medal” life with zero training.We riff on the temptation to put spiritual growth on a credit card, aka pay later, skip the work now and why God won't let us shortcut when He's forming in us. Like a sculptor who keeps carving long after the first shape appears, God is not finished with you. The waiting isn't wasted. The slow start isn't the story. And the pressure isn't punishment, it's precision.If you've been stuck, sleepy, discouraged, or craving a deeper walk with God, this is your nudge to move forward toward maturity. We'll unpack the why behind the what, talk honestly about discipline and endurance, and remind you that you can't trust a God you don't know, but there's also no way to keep showing up and not fall in love with Him.Listen in, let the Word redirect your thoughts, and take your next step, steady, rooted, and growing.Help us spread the word about Thriving in the Word—and thanks for being part of the family. Have a blessed day.More info: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thrive.church⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Give: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thrive.church/give/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Need prayer? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠prayer@thrive.church⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a presentation of Thrive.Church © All Rights Reserved

Carving out a special place within Taipei's harder-edged sonic landscape, the Mango Season party founder and infinitely groovy DJ Pocari Sweaty has been at the forefront of Taipei's house scene for the past few years, offering Mango Seasoners extended dubs, deep euphoric house and obscure disco journeys from guests like Telephones, Benedek and Mayurashka to name a few. Currently in Australia for the first time, we're lucky enough to have him in the mix with a wonderfully spaced out selection of floated techy groovers and deep house music in its finest form. @pocari_sweaty Q. What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed A. To be honest I didn't put too much thought into this mix, and didn't go into it with any plans to release a mix. I just hooked up a recorder and started playing from a loose selection of deep and techy records I'd recently bought, and I liked how it turned out! Thank you guys for digging it too, and for putting it out! Q. Are there any records in the mix that you were especially excited to share, and what is it about these songs that resonate with you so much? A. I would say I'm especially stoked to share this Terry Francis track Rock Hopper. I bought this record from a discogs seller in Taipei called bigbadjimmy. It turns out he was a DJ in Taipei in the late 90s / early 00s and even opened for Terry Francis in Seoul on his first Asia tour back then. I think it's really special to have a direct lineage to this record's original context! Q. Your Mango Season parties have become a regular fixture of the Taipei underground scene over the last few years with a host of deep digging guests covering all kinds of house and disco leaning sounds, tell us about your idea behind the night and what have been some of your favourite memories thus far? A. Taipei is definitely a city that likes heavy music, so I started Mango Season to create the kind of warm and sweet party that I really want to go to. Damn there are really too many good memories, all of the guests have been amazing. Dea's closing track last August, 多情沒有問題 by 馬玉芬 was really fun, the entirety of Telephones' set last October was incredible, and last month MLiR and I played b2b all night for the second anniversary of the party. We didn't plan a thing and played one track each for the whole night. Perfectly in sync, it was awesome.

When traditional cashflow lending tightens, liquidity doesn't always come from the usual places — sometimes lenders have to break companies into smaller, more financeable pieces.Carving out working capital assets, which involves isolating and valuing receivables and inventory in standalone structures, has emerged as a go-to strategy for borrowers looking to unlock incremental capital without refinancing their entire capital stack.On this episode of Cloud 9fin, Anna Russi speaks with Mitch Soiefer, partner and head of lender finance at SLR Capital Partners, to unpack how working capital assets are being carved out of traditional credit agreements to keep capital flowing, and why these structures tend to show up late in the credit cycle.Have any feedback?

What does it look like to build a career that blends technical mastery with creative freedom? In this episode of Wine After Work, Bryce sits down with Nicole Roe, founder of R. Nickson Interiors, to talk about her unconventional path from construction to couture-level interiors — and what it takes to carve your own lane in a male-dominated industry. With more than 15 years of experience across construction and design, and a degree in Building Construction from Georgia Tech, Nicole brings a rare blend of technical credibility and expressive creativity. She shares how her background allows her to design spaces that aren't just beautiful, but deeply functional and aligned with how her clients actually live. In this conversation, we cover: Transitioning from construction into high-end interior design Building confidence and credibility as a woman in male-dominated spaces Why understanding the full construction process changes how you design Scaling a boutique design firm with operational control (including launching a warehouse and receiving space) Designing homes that support real life, not just aesthetics Nicole also opens up about balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood, creativity with structure, and ambition with authenticity — all while raising four energetic boys and building a design brand that refuses to fit into a single box. If you're navigating a career pivot, building a business, or redefining success on your own terms, this episode will resonate. https://rnicksoninteriors.com/   https://www.instagram.com/rnicksoninteriors/

What does a perfectly seasoned hamburger have to do with revolution?In this episode of Red Meat Nation, Alex and Julie sit down with James Beard Award-winning author and historian John Birdsall to peel back the layers of queer identity hidden within American foodways. From the coded intimacy of a neighbor's kitchen to the rugged, mythologized landscapes of Western ranching, we explore how meat has been used to both enforce and escape the confines of traditional masculinity.John takes us on a journey through his landmark book, What Is Queer Food?, challenging us to look past the "macho" symbolism of beef to find the care, intention, and quiet resistance of those who cooked on the margins.In this episode, we discuss:The "Gay Hamburger": How simple meals served as the first invitations to queer community.The Meat Mythos: Why beef became the ultimate performance of mid-century masculinity.Queer Cowboys: Reclaiming the hidden history of LGBTQ+ folks in ranching and the rural West.The Sensual Table: How queer perspectives transform menus from lists of ingredients into narratives of pleasure.Join us for a conversation that is as tactile as it is political. Because if food is a language, it's time we started listening to the voices that have been whispering from the kitchen for decades.https://www.john-birdsall.com/

On his weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, presented by FanDuel, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes Ray Fittipaldo to look ahead at the rest of the season and into next year. Are the Steelers finding potential puzzle pieces for next season in guys on one-year deals like Kenneth Gainwell and Asante Samuel Jr.? Is Dylan Cook carving out a real, meaningful role for himself in Broderick Jones' absence? Will Andrus Peat and James Pierre still have their jobs when they return from injury? And how does all this affect Omar Khan's draft strategy? Would he have drafted Kaleb Johnson if he had known Gainwell would be this effective? Brian and Ray then move on to talk about Sunday's matchup with the Detroit Lions. How will the edge rusher depth be tested, with T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig's availability in question? How will they be able to stop names like Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery and Amon-Ra St. Brown? Will Derrick Harmon help in that capacity? And how might Mike Tomlin handle a potentially meaningless Week 17 game vs. Cleveland with the really important matchup vs. Baltimore on the horizon? Our duo tackles those topics and more.

In this episode, I sit down with Mallory Edens, founder of Little Ray Media, a production company focused on elevating stories by and about women in film and television. We discuss her passion for reshaping which stories get told in Hollywood and who gets to tell them. Mallory also opens up about a traumatic accident that changed her trajectory and strengthened her resilience and clarity of purpose. We talk about coming from an NBA family, acknowledging the privilege that comes with that, while still intentionally carving out her own lane and building something that is distinctly hers.

Carved into Iranian stone thousands of years ago, a 14-centimeter figure depicts something that shouldn't exist: a creature with the anatomically precise head and grasping arms of a praying mantis merged with the squatting legs of a human. The ancient petroglyph's disturbing accuracy—matching specific details of local Empusa mantids that modern entomologists needed careful study to identify—raises unsettling questions about what prehistoric artists witnessed in the remote Teymareh region.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: A 17-foot Boston Whaler disappeared with five Hawaiian fishermen in 1979. Ten years later, the boat turned up 2,200 miles away with one crew member buried in a mysterious grave — and no trace of the other four men. (Mystery of the Sarah Joe) *** From Puerto Rican farm animals found completely drained of blood to hairless creatures stalking Texas ranches, the chupacabra has terrorized livestock owners across the Americas for decades — but the truth behind these vampiric attacks reveals something far stranger than fiction. (The Goat Sucker) *** Religious scholars are finding medieval manuscripts filled with encounters that mirror modern UFO reports — and the U.S. government seems very interested in the Vatican's research. (When Angels Become Aliens) *** An ancient Iranian petroglyph depicts an impossible hybrid: a creature with the anatomically precise head and raptorial arms of an Empusa mantis fused with human legs in a squatting position, carved by someone who somehow knew entomological details that modern scientists needed careful study to identify.
