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.

Carving out an unknown specialism: Sports and Exercise Psychology with Paula WatsonWelcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. I'm really pleased to be welcoming my guest today, Dr Paula Watson, who is an applied sports and exercise psychologist specialising in health behavior change relating to eating, exercise, and weight. Paula spent 18 years in academia including working at Liverpool John Moores University as a reader in exercise and health psychology, before dedicating herself fully to her private practice, Made Up To Move. The concept of an exercise psychologist in private practice is one that might feel quite new, and I know that exercise psychologists qualifying now often feel unsure about how to introduce a less known about psychological service to the market. Paula's story is one that's all about forging a new path, embracing the unknown, and defining her own value when the public didn't even know that she existed. We're going to explore today how she built her practice when the public wasn't even aware of what exercise psychology was, and there's so much that we can all learn about really solid business and marketing skills from Paula's journey.

I have to admit that one of my core beliefs about moguls was challenged during this most recent conversation with Olympic Moguls silver medalist Matt Graham. For a long time, I believed that more ski snow contact was the ultimate sign of a good bump skierl. But in this open and honest conversation, Matt explains why the opposite is true when you want speed and rhythm in a mogul course.I was working with Carv at Hintertux when I met up with him, and he talked me through the key ideas the best bump skiers in the world rely on plus a whole lot more
After more than 100 years in museum exhibitions and store rooms, a carving is going back to the marae it was taken from. Dr Rawiri Tinirau spoke to Corin Dann.
Post-punk provocateur Autumns has been catapulting angular weapons over the ramparts since 2014… Carving out a fierce reputation across labels like Downwards, Opal Tapes, iDEAL Recordings and DKA Records. Christian Donaghey's relentless live show has seen him tour worldwide alongside Veronica Vasicka, Silent Servant, and Wire, delivering workouts that pummel those lower frequencies into submission. Now, as he joins Ransom Note with the ferocious EP ‘Through the Construction of Grace' EP, the “lanky, ginger man from Derry” offers up a mix that captures his intuitive approach to music-making. Recorded in his bedroom, it's a journey through the sounds that have shaped Autumns' “awful attempts at ripping off every bit of music that I like” from DJ Hell & Alan Vega collaborations to deep Post-Punk in Dub territory. It's confusing, distorted vocals and atonal blasts that taste like marmalade, and moves with the scrappy resourcefulness of a raccoon. Worry less. Listen intuitively.

In this inspiring episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe sits down for an illuminating conversation with Suzanne Roberta Martens—entrepreneur, beauty industry veteran, and founder of the luxury clean beauty brand Adesse New York. This episode is a masterclass in resourcefulness, resilience, and the power of pursuing your dreams—no matter the obstacles. From Industry Titans to Indie Trailblazer The episode opens as Wize El Jefe introduces Suzanne Roberta Martens as someone who has not only worked for global icons like Estee Lauder, Avon, and Revlon but has also boldly stepped out to carve her own path within the competitive world of cosmetics. Listeners are treated to the backstory of a woman who dreamed of her own beauty brand since college, a vision fueled by her fascination with the ever-evolving beauty landscape. Working at the leading edge of brands reformulating their products for safety and wellness, Suzanne Roberta Martens learned every aspect of the business—from concept to market, branding to formulation, and manufacturing to positioning. She recounts how her specialty in skincare and color cosmetics paved the way for her to develop innovative approaches to product creation, especially as the industry transitioned towards clean ingredients. The Power of AI and Agility A key highlight of their discussion is the transformative role of technology. Both Wize El Jefe and Suzanne Roberta Martens share their experiences integrating AI into their creative and business processes, accelerating everything from product development to audience engagement. For Adesse New York, leveraging AI means not only tracking consumer trends but also using predictive modeling to ensure product launches meet real customer desires. Unlike larger corporations bogged down by long product development cycles, Suzanne Roberta Martens's agile team harnesses tech to innovate and adapt swiftly—something essential for indie brands seeking to disrupt established markets. Bootstrapping and Breaking In What makes Suzanne Roberta Martens's journey particularly inspiring is her candor about starting with almost no funding. She explains that, far from being a setback, this forced her to be inventive. By identifying a major gap—clean nail care in an industry otherwise moving towards wellness—she conceptualized Adesse as a skincare-for-nails brand. Approaching contract manufacturers with a vision, not capital, she convinced partners to work in small production runs. Her unique perspective, treating nail care as skin care and using high-quality color pigments, enabled Adesse to stand out immediately. Through strategic partnerships with top beauty subscription companies, Adesse achieved massive exposure early on and quickly scaled from selling thousands to tens of millions of bottles. Suzanne Roberta Martens reflects on the exhilaration and terror of leaving the security of corporate America, betting on herself—and how the sense of truly helping people reclaim their nail health propelled her forward. Making Clean Beauty Accessible Wize El Jefe and Suzanne Roberta Martens dive deep into what sets Adesse New York apart: clinically effective, clean, and vegan nail formulas free from harmful toxins. Their conversation explores why avoiding ingredients that penetrate the body through the nails is vital, especially for conscious consumers already committed to health in other areas of life. A Pivotal QVC Moment—and the Pandemic Pivot Listeners are taken behind the scenes of Adesse's big break: being selected as one of just 400 out of 20,000 brands to debut on QVC. Suzanne Roberta Martens recalls the grueling safety testing, the anticipation, and the heartbreak of COVID-19 shutting down the studio just as she was set to go live. Not to be deterred, she pivoted to a makeshift home studio, adjusting her expectations—and wardrobe!—and successfully launched a nail care solution exactly when the world desperately needed it. This segment is a testament to the entrepreneur's tenacity and ability to turn setbacks into opportunity. Carving a Niche Among Giants How does an indie brand thrive in the shadow of billion-dollar conglomerates? By staying nimble, deeply tuning in to consumer needs, and using digital platforms to level the playing field. New selling channels, from Amazon Live to direct-to-consumer apps like Whatnot, allow agile brands like Adesse to reach global audiences and control their destiny, without gatekeepers. Suzanne Roberta Martens shares her excitement about the democratization of retail and how indie founders today have unprecedented potential to build relationships with customers around the world. Redefining Success and Building Community The conversation shifts to the meaning of success. Suzanne Roberta Martens admits her early ambition was all about landing major retail partners. Today, she finds fulfillment in directly serving her loyal customers—their feedback, stories, and advocacy matter more than any department store shelf. The two discuss how genuine community and word-of-mouth have become the true engine of sustainable business, mirroring Wize El Jefe's own podcasting journey. Key Takeaways for Aspiring Entrepreneurs For listeners dreaming of launching their own ventures, Suzanne Roberta Martens shares priceless wisdom: it's not a lack of resources, but a lack of resourcefulness that holds most people back. She urges entrepreneurs to be persistent and consistent, pushing forward through long stretches without any obvious wins, trusting the process and the impact. Visions for the Future The episode closes as Suzanne Roberta Martens teases exciting new products and market launches for Adesse, outlines her vision for the future of truly clean beauty (grounded in transparency and consumer-driven standards), and reflects on the legacy she hopes to leave: pioneering clean nails and empowering people to feel proud of their hands. Listeners will walk away inspired by Suzanne Roberta Martens's example—proof that relentless perseverance, a commitment to positive impact, and the courage to leap even when unprepared can lead to extraordinary outcomes. Whether you're an aspiring founder or simply passionate about personal growth, this episode is an essential listen.

And remember: sometimes, having no resources is the very thing that makes you resourceful. Stay bold, stay resourceful—stay wise!
In this bonus Extra Mile, we dive into why autumn might actually be the perfect season to run for your head as much as your heart. Autumn is transition. It's shedding. It's change. And reconnecting with the outdoors at this time of year can feel like literal therapy.Carving out just 20–30 minutes for a run is a powerful mental reset - especially when you slow down, look up, breathe in the crisp air and tune into the colour, the sound, the sensation… and yes, nothing beats crunchy leaves underfoot.Main Episodes of RunPod with guests are available every Friday - catch up with episodes now!
In this episode of the Anchored Podcast, Jeremy is joined by Tim Feist, founder of Feist Stone. They discuss his experience at the Naval Academy as a midshipman and professor, his passion for history, and the moment that led him to begin stone carving. They explore the significance of stone carving as both an art form and a spiritual discipline, and the importance of stone carving in the ancient world. They also reflect on the role of education in fostering creativity and craftsmanship, and the impact of art on education.
Ethan Stern's work is rooted in traditional craftsmanship, contemporary design, and a deep connection to the natural environment. As a glass artist, he draws inspiration from historic craft traditions such as cut crystal and classical ceramic design, while reinterpreting these forms through a modern lens. His practice seeks to explore the interplay between utility, beauty, and narrative, bridging the realms of functional objects and sculptural expression. Stern states: "Central to my approach is the concept of light as a dynamic medium. Glass, with its inherent ability to refract, reflect, and transmit light, becomes a canvas through which I explore optical phenomena and color. I am particularly drawn to the ways in which light interacts with texture, pattern, and form, creating ever-changing visual experiences that invite viewers to engage with my work in a multisensory manner. This exploration pushes the boundaries of materiality, transforming functional objects and sculptural forms into vessels of light." Pushing form beyond the expected anatomy of the vessel, Stern uses glass to investigate the emotive potential of objects. Each piece begins with the creation of a blown, geometric form composed of multiple layers of color and pattern. After the piece has cooled, he carves into the surface, creating patterns and textures through engraving. This process, while reductive, allows him to shift the glass's inherent reflective qualities, creating a richer, more luminous effect. The engraved marks, like the stroke of a paintbrush on canvas, leave evidence of the artist's hand and create a sense of motion, rhythm, weight, and depth. The act of carving—removing material—demands careful consideration, and each choice shapes the relationship between the surface and form, adding an emotional resonance to the work. Stern began examining the effects he could achieve through engraving in 1999 while at the Pilchuck Glass School. Carving the surface of the glass allowed him to pull together elements of color, form, pattern and texture to express his unique voice through the material. In 2010, he received the Best Emerging Artist award from the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA. His work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across the United States and is featured in the collections of The Eboltoft Glass Museum in Denmark, The Corning Museum, and The Lowe Museum of Art. He has taught at The Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass, Pilchuck Glass School, Pratt Fine Arts Center, Penland School of Craft, The Pittsburgh Glass Center, and The Appalachian Center for Craft. In January 2026, Stern will teach Beyond Battuto – Advanced Coldworking Techniques at the Corning Museum of Glass Studio, Corning, New York. Says Stern: "In addition to creating art, I am committed to sharing the craft of glassblowing through teaching and community engagement. Ultimately, my work is an ongoing exploration of the intersections between design, craft, and the natural world. It is a dialogue between tradition and innovation, utility and beauty, light and form. By creating pieces that resonate both functionally and emotionally, I hope to inspire reflection, curiosity, and connection to the larger world around us." Born in Ithaca, New York, Stern resides in the Frogtown neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, where he runs a glass studio alongside his wife and creative partner, Amanda McDonald Stern. Their studio specializes in sculpture, design, education and glass fabrication fostering a sense of community around glass. Ethan obtained his Associates degree in Ceramics from TAFE College in Brisbane, Australia, and his BFA in Sculpture and Glass from Alfred University. Of his work, Stern states: "The natural environment offers rich inspiration, from the organic forms and colors of coastlines to the shifting hues of the sky. Through glass, I aim to evoke a sense of interconnectedness, using the material's elemental relationship to earth and fire to bridge the natural and the man-made. While my work draws from history and nature, it is forward-looking, blending traditional techniques with contemporary approaches."
Welcome back to Thinking Tackle Uncut — and this week, it's a lively one! With Tom Dove calling in sick, Damo, Adam and Neil Spooner hold down the fort to talk about the crazy run of huge carp being caught this autumn — including 70s on the horizon and the latest from Spooner's 50 Cup Competition (now pushing 80!). The lads chat about how the clocks are going back, changing conditions, warm autumns, and irrigation waters are creating monster carp across the UK — and share stories of incredible fish, including Grumpy at 56lb 12oz and The Carving at 53lb. There's laughter, chaos, and a few proper nuggets of angling insight as Damo and Spooner discuss:

Christina Tosi built an iconic dessert empire on sugar, grit, and a relentless drive to bring joy. This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sit down with the award-winning chef and founder behind Milk Bar to talk about the parts of her story you don't always see. You may know Christina as the mastermind behind cereal milk or from her time on MasterChef, but what stuck with me was her honesty about the chaos of building something from scratch—and the even harder part of staying in it once the buzz dies down. We also talk about staying creative under pressure, what it feels like to be copied without credit, and why Christina still finds joy in baking after all these years. Episode Guide: (00:00) Meet Christina Tosi, Founder and CEO at Milk Bar (05:41) Christina's emotional connection to baking (08:19) Milk Bar's first month and the non-stop grind (12:43 ) The reality of being a trailblazer (17:02) Baking to impress vs. baking to create (19:37) What it takes to stay passionate after success (25:53) Falling in love with the messy middle (30:25) Carving out space for motherhood, relationships, and creativity Learn more about your ad choices.

This podcast episode is about integration. How do we go forward with all the colonial code, bumping up against the remembrance of our ancestral code? How do we integrate the concrete and the care? The cop in our head and the kid in our heart? How do we invite our fear and our spirit to the table? How might we act as the compassionate mediator? How might that compassionate mediation facilitate a practice of making art? My intention behind recording this episode is to wade inside of some of these questions with you.ResourcesLearn more and enroll into The Laboratory of Erotic Engineering: https://www.seedaschool.com/labLearn more and book a free Desire Discovery Call for 1:1 Erotic Engineering: https://www.seedaschool.com/engineerSubscribe to the Seeda School Substack: https://seedaschool.substack.com/Follow Ayana on Instagram: @ayzacoFollow Ayana on Threads: @ayzacoFollow Seeda School on Instagram: @seedaschoolCitationsMexican artist Pedro Reyes believes in art's functionality...“Truth, Lee and Elaw practiced what Phyllis Mack calls “spiritual theatre.” — Jayna Brown writing about Sojourner Truth in “Along the Psychic Highway: Black Women Mystics and Utopias of the Ecstatic”, Black Utopias: Speculative Life and the Music of Other Worlds, pg. 28 (2021)The Flesh of the Matter: A Critical Forum on Hortense Spillers (2024) edited by Margo Natalie Crawford and C.

Joe and Garrett dig into some of our favorites from the frontside/carving category and why so many skiers (us included) have slept on it while the 90–100mm “do-everything” crowd got all the hype. They discuss how narrower, purpose-built skis can be more fun, faster edge-to-edge, and a smarter second ski for your quiver.Follow the show on IG: https://www.instagram.com/thebostonskiparty/

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.
