Actor and musician Jena Malone joins Sing For Science to discuss “Set Your Sorrows Down” from her album Flowers for Men, a deeply personal record exploring identity, desire, transformation, and non-monogamy. The song's central question — “Who am I to become now?” — opens a conversation about inherited relationship scripts and what it means to “take the society out of you.” Joining Jena is Chapman University psychologist and Kinsey Institute Research Fellow Dr. Amy Moors, whose work examines consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, stigma, jealousy, compersion, and the relationship structures that exist outside conventional monogamy. Together they explore why non-monogamy remains so stigmatized despite being far more common than many people assume, how art can make hidden experiences visible, and why studying love scientifically can help dismantle shame.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this 'hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 15 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. To begin the last episode of the season Mariana Fernandez leads us through a fun and informative conversation with published writer and editor, and English Instructor at Irvine Valley College, Lisa Alvarez. The pair discuss Lisa's newly published short story collection Some Final Beauty and Other Stories, and she opens up about what first drew her to advocacy work. They also dig into the short stories themselves, exploring how each one builds toward characters Lisa had always wanted to see represented in print. They close the conversation by reflecting on the current wave of ethnic-centric literature being published today and what she believes makes her own collection distinct within that landscape. And as a season finale, we have an interview with Mike Gravagno the Senior Content Marketing Specialist at Workiva. Mike talks to Sydney Snider about his life and career trajectory. They discuss his roles as a content marketing manager, podcast host, and editor and explore how he first found his way into the world of podcasting. Mike reflects on the early days of the medium, when podcasting was still a niche pursuit, and walks through how dramatically the industry has shifted since then in terms of production standards, audience expectations, and the growing number of creators entering the space. The conversation expands into the creative process behind editing, the skills required to do it well, and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into shaping a compelling show. They close out the episode with the podcasts Mike loves listening to and the advice he would give anyone looking to start a show or find their footing in an industry that keeps evolving.

Each episode of Season 15 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. We begin this week with Margarette Quiambao sits down with Bekah Phillips, Director of Social Media and Graphic Design at the Frida Cinema in Santa Ana. Together they trace Bekah's path from a senior-year internship at the theater to how she grew into a leadership role. They walk through what her position entails from day-to-day content decisions to the larger creative vision behind the Frida's social presence. Bekah offers an inside look at what it takes to build and maintain a brand that reflects a genuinely independent, community-rooted institution. Listen along as Bekah opens up about how now her aesthetic sensibilities inform the visual identity of Orange County's only arthouse cinema. Equal parts practical and personal, this conversation is a compelling portrait of what creative leadership looks like at the intersection of film culture and digital communication. We wrap the episode this week focusing on Sean Cleary, Chief Operating Officer of Phillips Auction, who sat down for an interview with Kiera Freeman to talk about what it is like to work at one of the world's leading auction houses. Their fascinating conversation covers prehistoric dinosaur bones; Picasso canvases; and duct-taped bananas. Sean pulls back the curtain on how an auction actually works, from sourcing and valuing artwork to choreographing a live sale, and offers a frank look at the operational complexity most people never see. Their conversation highlights the logistical precision required to move multimillion-dollar pieces across the globe, how technology is reshaping the auction world, and what it means to work at the intersection of commerce, culture, and creativity. For anyone who has ever wondered what happens before the gavel falls, this episode has the answer.

For our first interview this week we are joined by Erik Lund who hosts a fascinating interview with Anton Poriazov, a Bulgarian actor and bodybuilder whose credits span both Bulgarian and international feature films. Anton joins fresh from The Running Man gala in London and with upcoming projects including Nightingale and the TV series Torque on the horizon, making for a conversation that arrives at exactly the right moment in his career. The pair dig into what it actually looks like to balance so many creative industries at once, exploring how each one feeds and shapes the others in a cycle that seems to have no off switch. Anton's profile as a well-known public figure in Bulgaria also opens up a fascinating thread about celebrity in smaller national markets, and how that context breeds a humility and gratitude that stands out in any room. Concluding the episode this week Tatum Behrens interviews Hannah Pierce, an Executive Assistant at Hybe America, the diversified entertainment and media company at the intersection of music, film, television, technology, and culture. They discuss Hannah's career prior to landing the position at Hybe, and get into some candid talk about the unglamorous realities behind the spotlight. Hannah challenges the glossy narratives that define Hollywood's public image and makes a compelling case that the most essential work in entertainment is the work no one ever sees.

What does it take to swim 28.5 miles around Manhattan and still call it fun? I sit down with Lynn Griesemer, an open water swimmer who proves that determination, passion, and mindset can take you further than you think. Lynn shares how she went from casual lap swimming to completing one of the world's most iconic endurance swims, all while building a life centered on family, curiosity, and growth. You will hear how she trained, faced fear in open water, and developed the kind of unstoppable mindset that pushes past doubt and excuses. This conversation is about more than swimming. It is about finding what drives you, trusting yourself, and taking action even when it feels uncomfortable. I believe you will find this both inspiring and practical as you think about what you want to pursue in your own life. Highlights: 00:10 – Discover what it really takes to swim 28 miles around Manhattan and why mindset matters most 01:32 – Learn how early life and family shaped a foundation of curiosity and determination 20:00 – See how a global shutdown unexpectedly led to a breakthrough in open water swimming 32:18 – Understand what it takes to qualify for and complete one of the toughest endurance swims 36:27 – Hear what 10 hours in open water teaches about mental strength and preparation 47:44 – Learn how determination is built through passion, action, and refusing to quit Bottom of Form About the Guest: Lynn Griesemer began her swimming journey at the age of five when her father introduced her to the joy of swimming. Although she wasn't a competitive swimmer, she developed a passion for swimming over the years. She became a long-distance swimmer in 2020 and has swum around more than 69 different islands in Tampa Bay, Florida and beyond. She was the first person to swim around St. Pete Beach, FL in 2022. At the age of 62, Lynn and her swim partner Ken Morgan were the Oldest Male-Female Tandem Team to complete the 20 Bridges swim around Manhattan, which is 28.5 miles. Four days after the completion of her New York City swim on 8/9/25, Lynn decided to write a book because she felt transformed by the experience. In fact, most of the books she's written over the years have come from a place of conviction.  Her current swimming goal is to complete an open water 10K swim, (6.2 miles) in all 50 states. She has completed 15 different states, with 10 more planned for 2026. In addition to swimming, Lynn's other passions include advocating for long-term happy marriage and husband and wife homebirth. Lynn is a mother of six grown children and grandmother of five. Although she was career-oriented in her twenties, she believes her greatest joy is that she had a large family. She's been a family mom for three decades and homeschooled her six children from 1994-2016. She enjoyed learning from her children and watching them blossom over the years. Before children, Lynn was an Army Officer and later, a Human Resources Manager. She received her B.A. in Psychology from Boston University and M.S. in Human Resources Management and Development from Chapman University. After four hospital births between 1988 and 1993, Lynn and her husband Bob decided to give birth at home alone for the birth of their two youngest in 1996 and 2002. Not much was written on unassisted homebirth, and she was inspired to publish “Unassisted Homebirth: An Act of Love” in 1998. She is considered a pioneer in the field of unassisted birth (or freebirth), which is giving birth without a doctor or midwife. Another strong interest: public speaking. As a former shy child, Lynn believes effective speaking is necessary for everyone, especially those in leadership and influential positions. She's written several books on public speaking, with emphasis on children ages 10-18. A bucket list item of hers is to find an expert marketing and business partner to help promote and implement her public speaking programs. Lynn has two more book ideas swimming around in her head – one about island swimming and another about the fifty state10Ks. Her mentor is advising her to write a book on unassisted homebirth, and she's trying to make time to follow through. Lynn has written 13 books on various topics and is determined to write a handful more in her lifetime. Ways to connect with Lynn: LynnGriesemer.com UnassistedHomebirth.com LinkedIn: Lynn M.

Transcription Notes:

Today is my 18th birthday and the PILOT EPISODE of SEASON 3!!!In this episode I get into what actually changed between 12 and 18 (hint: not what I expected), the stretch where I almost quit and what pulled me back, what growing up publicly does to your brain, and why I spent years chasing a version of success that didn't even feel good when I got it.I'm also moving to Chapman University in August, which means this is the last episode recorded in the room where this whole thing started. Season 3 is a new chapter in every sense of the word.No polish. No performance. Just the most honest episode I've ever made.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University.

Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this 'hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 15 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. Today's episode begins with a fascinating conversation between Angela Jara and her guest Dorothy Lucey. Lucey is a veteran television broadcaster and Chapman University lecturer whose career spans decades in the Los Angeles market. The pair discuss Dorothy's journey from a small station in Scranton, Pennsylvania to working in the second-largest television market in the country. She reflects on the excitement of entertainment reporting, the realities of breaking into a fiercely competitive industry, and what she has taken away from the many memorable moments her career has brought her. Drawing on her experience both on-air and in the classroom, Dorothy offers a candid perspective on navigating different markets, seizing opportunities, and the role that hard work (and a little luck) play in a long broadcasting career. Rounding out our episode today Michaela Golik has the pleasure of speaking with Vivienne Ayres. Ayres works as a Social Media Assistant for Reese's Book Club at Hello Sunshine, a Los Angeles-based media company founded by Reese Witherspoon & Seth Rodsky in 2016. Vivienne reflects on her transition from college to a professional environment, explaining how Chapman's hands-on curriculum and internship experiences prepared her for the demands of a high-profile creative company. She offers a glimpse into a typical day at Hello Sunshine, and walks through how Reese's Book Club uses social media to spotlight up-and-coming female authors and build an engaged reading community. Beyond her current role, Vivienne speaks to her continued passion for documentary filmmaking, how she balances personal projects with professional life, and where she hopes her career will take her, closing with honest advice: network genuinely, and trust the process.

Each episode of Season 15 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. Our season starts off with a real kick when Jayne Towers sits down with Cal Hunter, a Digital Media professional with the NFL, to explore what happens when creativity, culture, and communication converge on one of the world's most recognizable stages. Cal shares how an unconventional background in media and culture shaped his path to the league, offering an honest look at what it actually takes to build a career at the intersection of storytelling and strategy. Jayne and Cal also examine the cultural forces that quietly shape the league's creative direction and keep its digital team moving. Their conversation digs into how fan engagement is built not through highlights alone, but through the kind of authentic storytelling that turns casual viewers into loyal communities. Cal closes with grounded, practical advice for students eyeing careers in media, marketing, and entertainment. Concluding our first episode of the season, Producer and Social Media Manager for Will & Rusty's Playdate Podcast at Almost Friday Media, Andrew Nelson, speaks with Tessa Weir about Nelson's unique career trajectory. They discuss the path that led Andrew from college graduation to running a show almost entirely on his own. Andrew reflects candidly on the stops that shaped him: cutting his teeth under David Dobrik's company, transitioning to the Los Angeles Chargers, grinding through a freelance stretch as a photographer and editor, and ultimately landing at the tight-knit startup. The pair dig into the unglamorous realities behind the mic and what it actually means to shepherd two two-hour episodes from record to release every single week. For students hungry to break into content creation and social media Andrew offers advice that lands with the credibility of someone who hasn't been out of their shoes all that long—and hasn't forgotten what it felt like to be in them.

Speaking across the decades from the 1960s through the 1990s, Ram Dass shares his thoughts on expanding the boundaries of consciousness through the use of psychedelic chemicals.

Click here to learn more!This episode of Here and Now is a compilation of Ram Dass exploring the use of psychedelic chemicals. We begin in the mid-1960s, back when Ram Dass was still Richard Alpert. In this interview with the CBC, he talks about how the psychedelic experience can help us see past individual differences. The next stop is 1968 and the famed WBAI radio talks. Ram Dass details his first experience with psychedelic chemicals and the process he went through of losing his attachment to his social roles. We move on to 1977 and a radio interview at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Ram Dass touches on the role of these chemicals in the spiritual awareness of people, recreational versus sacramental use, and the importance of set and setting.Up next is a retreat in 1989 where Ram Dass answers questions from a breakout group. He gives a brief history of psychedelic chemicals and talks about how they can provide a fresh look at the universe, expanding the boundaries of consciousness. The final stop is a psychedelic conference at Chapman University in 1994. Ram Dass reflects on the impact that psychedelics had on his life and how they influenced his work with death and dying.The Ram Dass community gathers regularly to engage in meaningful discussions about the podcast.

It's very hard to get out of that. And what the chemical allows you to do is set that aside for a moment and see the universe from a different vantage point and find places in yourself, which is why it was used in religious traditions, find the deeper parts of your being that lie behind your thinking mind.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen Ready to transform your relationship with money in 2026? "Master Your Money Mindset: Secrets to Financial Freedom" brings together a powerhouse panel from the fields of behavioral finance, financial therapy, and real-world investing. If you've ever felt that your money decisions are driven by emotion—fear, greed, or old family beliefs—this episode peels back the curtain on what's really happening behind the scenes. Whether you're a finance professional, an investor, or simply striving for personal financial stability, this episode provides you with practical systems and fresh insights that can help you sidestep costly mistakes and build lifelong wealth with confidence. The episode dives deep into the psychology of money, equipping you with actionable frameworks you can use today. Meet the Expert Panelists Brian Portnoy, Ph.D., CFA, is the founder of Shaping Wealth, a leading learning platform focused on the psychology of money and human-first financial guidance. A former hedge fund and mutual fund investor, he is the author of several bestselling books, including The Geometry of Wealth, that explore how to build a life of meaning, not just wealth. https://www.shapingwealth.com Saundra Davis MSFP, APFC®, FBS® is a US Navy veteran, financial coach, educator, and consultant, nationally recognized for her expertise in financial coaching, financial therapy, and addressing the racial wealth gap. She is the founder of Sage Financial Solutions (a training organization) and serves as the Director of Financial Planning Programs at Golden Gate University, where she develops and facilitates financial capability programs and coaching certifications to promote equitable access to high-quality financial guidance for all. https://www.sagefinancialsolutions.org Henrik Cronqvist is a leading behavioral finance scholar trained under Nobel Laureate Richard H.

A co-founder of the Financial Therapy Association and editor of leading academic journals, she is an award-winning researcher and co-author of Psychology in Practice: Financial Planning Essentials, bringing cutting-edge financial therapy insights to practitioners and the public alike. https://www.fcs.uga.edu Key Highlights 1. Self-Awareness is the Foundation of Financial Success Saundra Davis emphasizes that building systems and practicing self-compassion is more effective than relying on willpower alone. She notes, "We will not abuse ourselves into better financial behaviors," urging listeners to develop routines that regulate emotional triggers and cultivate deep compassion for themselves. 2. Automation Beats Emotion-Driven Decisions As Brian Portnoy points out, "Sometimes the best way to make a decision is to not make it at all." Delegating key financial decisions to automated systems—like retirement savings—removes guesswork and helps investors outsmart the biases that so often lead to costly mistakes. 3. Money Beliefs Are Shaped by Family and Community Systems Kristy Archuleta discusses how early experiences and family dynamics unconsciously drive our financial decisions. Becoming aware of these scripts—and compassionately rewriting them—empowers us to change lifelong patterns. 4. Technology Is a Double-Edged Sword for Modern Investors Henrik Cronqvist warns that while automation and account structure can help, technology also amplifies action bias and the temptation to gamble. "It's probably the most difficult time to stay rational," he observes, stressing the need for systems that shield us from emotional and herd-driven behaviors. Call-to-Action One thing to do this week. Think about one financial decision on your mind right now, big or small. Take two minutes and write down what emotion is attached to it, what story you're telling yourself about that decision, and one rule or pause you could add so future you doesn't have to rely on gut instinct alone. That short reflection can completely change how you make decisions going forward. Find the Inspired Money channel on YouTube or listen to Inspired Money in your favorite podcast player.
