We meet writer Damian Barr to discuss his new book The Two Roberts.This intoxicating, brave and compassionate novel from the author of Maggie and Me reimagines one of the stongest and most passionate love stories of modern British art, following Robert Colquhoun and Robert MacBryde from their encounter at Glasgow Art School to partying with Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon in London as the Second World War draws near.'He will stay like this forever, Robert's arm draped round him. They will be forever twenty.'Scotland, 1933. Bobby MacBryde is on his way. After years grafting at Lees Boot Factory, he's off to the Glasgow School of Art, to his future. On his first day he will meet another Robert, a quiet man with loose dark curls - and never leave his side.Together they will spend every penny and every minute devouring Glasgow - its botanical gardens, the Barras market, a whole hidden city - all the while loving each other behind closed doors. With the world on the brink of war, their unrivalled talent will take them to Paris, Rome, London. They will become stars as the bombs fall, hosting wild parties with the likes of Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon and Elizabeth Smart. But the brightest stars burn fastest.Stunningly reimagined, The Two Roberts is a profoundly moving story of devotion and obsession, art and class. It is a love letter to MacBryde and Colquhoun, the almost-forgotten artists who tried to change the way the world sees - and paid a devastating price.We also discuss the new exhibition curated by Damian.

Recently, the legal technology company Case Status held its inaugural Client Experience Summit in Charleston, S.C., a conference devoted to exploring how AI, data and ethical practices can enable law firms to deliver a better experience for their clients.In an opening keynote at the conference, Andy Seavers, the cofounder and CEO of Case Status, unveiled several new products, including, most notably, Client Intelligence, an AI-driven platform that the company says represents a significant shift for law firms from reactive client management to predictive client engagement. Shortly after Seavers delivered that keynote, LawNext host Bob Ambrogi, who attended the conference, sat down with him for this interview to learn more about the company and its latest announcements. When Case Status first launched, it was often described as the Dominos pizza tracker for law, insofar as it enabled clients to easily keep track of the status of their case. As you'll hear from Seavers in today's interview, it has expanded significantly since then, into a full client experience and client intelligence platform. Also in today's interview, Seavers discusses his just-published a book, Future Firm, Fossil Firm, in which he lays out a blueprint for how law firms can evolve. He discusses his vision of a “future firm,” and why he believes that leadership posture, operational systems, and client experience are now the defining factors of firm success.   Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Welcome to a very special episode and wisdom mini-series. This four-part series originates from an archive of rare 2004 recordings of wisdom conversations with my mentor, John Wells Jr.  In the truest sense this batch of wisdom has been two decades in the making. Sadly, John passed away in early February 2005, after battling cancer. Those conversations and recordings served as a pre-cursor, perhaps even a prequel to this podcast which launched 15 years later in 2019. The Art of Visualization In Part Two of our our mini-series, John tells one of his favorite stories. It's the story of the world's most famous sculptor, Michelangelo, working to craft the statue of David. This story is a wisdom lesson illustrating the incredible power of belief guided by the art of visualization. When John shared this story with me, it inspired me to take my marketing consulting firm, once a dream, to a greater level of reality. He challenged me to envision the greatest form my business and my life could attain. What might John's rousing story inspire in you today? More About Our Wise Guest - John Wells, Jr. John was one of the most effective and influential mentors in my lifetime. He taught, led and influenced me, opening my eyes and expanding my thinking on those things that truly matter. I was deeply blessed to know him. John was a dedicated retail veteran and community leader who co-founded Wells Home Furnishings after many years working at R.H. Kyle Furniture Co. Known for his entrepreneurial spirit, he led his business to award-winning success and earned induction into the National Wholesale Furniture Association Hall of Fame. Beyond his career, Wells was deeply involved in civic and youth service organizations in Charleston, including the Boys Scouts, YMCA and United Way, among others, reflecting his commitment to community betterment. His leadership extended to serving as past president of the National Wholesale Furniture Association, where he influenced industry standards and fostered professional growth. Locally, John was known as an effective, tireless leader and chairperson of several charity fundraising drives. In 2000, John was honored with the prestigious Ernst Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Though he never sought the spotlight, one day the President of the United States, George W. Bush, stood in Charleston and honored John Wells for his service. His legacy is marked by his dedication to his family, his profession and his community, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

From the myth of “set it and forget it” retirement accounts to the hidden toll of financial stress, he explains why doing nothing may be the most dangerous decision of all.Together, they unpack why 85% of financial professionals aren't required to act in your best interest, how trust in big-name institutions can leave families vulnerable, and why financial wellness is really a form of mental wellness. As Michael shares, financial stress doesn't stay in your bank account, it bleeds into your health, relationships, and leadership.Eric and Michael dive into how fintech is opening access for the 98%, how independent fiduciaries are reshaping trust, and why clarity with money is the key to leading with confidence in uncertain times.

What really defines a cult—and why do smart, well-intentioned people get caught up in them?

This is the story of a three-year-old girl and the highest court in the land. The Supreme Court case Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl is a legal battle that has entangled a biological father, a heart-broken couple, and the tragic history of Native American children taken from their families. We originally released this story back in 2013, when that girl's fate was still in the balance of various legal decisions. We thought now was a good time to bring the story back, because the Act at the center of the story is still being questioned.When then-producer Tim Howard first read about this case, it struck him as a sad but seemingly straightforward custody dispute. But, as he started talking to lawyers and historians and the families involved in the case, it became clear that it was much more than that. Because Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl challenges parts of the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act, this case puts one little girl at the center of a storm of legal intricacies, Native American tribal culture, and heart-wrenching personal stakes.LATERAL CUTS:What Up Holmes?The GatekeeperEPISODE CREDITS:Reported by - Tim HowardProduced by - Tim HowardEPISODE CITATIONS (so many):Background and Reporting from a range of different perspectives"Couple forced to give up daughter"An introductory article by Allyson Bird, for the Charleston, SC Post and Courier"Supreme Court Takes on Indian Child Welfare Act in Baby Veronica Case" A report for Indian Country Today by Suzette Brewer, who has also written a two-part series on the case."Supreme Court hears Indian child custody case"Tulsa World article by Michael Overall which includes Dusten Brown's account of his break-up with Veronica's mother, and his understanding about his custodial rights.

Amidst another influx of French-speaking refugees in the spring of 1804, Charleston's municipal authorities negotiated with property owners to resuscitate the Market Street plan scuttled more than a decade earlier. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, the project's principal donor, dictated new terms to city officials and set a three-year deadline, triggering a flurry of site work and legal negotiations that eventually secured the permanent establishment of the present historic marketplace.

Good tour design doesn't just help create memorable experiences, it's also a way to build a defensive moat around your business that protects against competitors, copycats, and even AI disruption.In today's episode, TP hosts Mitch Bach and Peter Syme dismantle the traditional information-based approach to tour guiding and argue for a shift in thinking towards emotional design. They explore how customers drowning in content and knowledge need tours that create feelings rather than deliver facts, introducing frameworks like the "connection triangle" (guide-guest-place), the peak-end rule for memory formation, and the psychology of surprise as a core human emotion. The discussion reveals why designing around emotions like awe, connection, and surprise creates experiences that can't be replicated by competitors or generated by AI.Mitch and Pete dive into how tour operators can build defensible businesses through unique access, authentic personal stories, and continuous iteration rather than relying on replicable scripts or famous landmarks. Using examples from speakeasy-style walking tours in New York to bonfire dinners with base jumpers in the mountains, they demonstrate how value-based pricing comes from designing experiences that surprise and transform rather than simply meeting expectations.For more on tour design, join us at our annual conference TourWeek, November 10-13, 2025 in Charleston, SC!

A lot of buyer's agents think being “better” just means moving faster. Taking every late-night call, saying yes to every showing, and running themselves ragged across town. More homes, more showings, more hustle. But hustle doesn't equal conversion, it often equals burnout. The agents who actually win with buyers aren't the ones sprinting around at all hours. They're the ones who slow down, take control, and position themselves as trusted advisors. The truth is, too many buyer's agents play the role of door-opener. They think value comes from access, when in reality, buyers are craving authority. Without clear guidance, clients don't feel safe. They get overwhelmed by endless options, stall out on decisions, and eventually ghost you. Being a great buyer's agent isn't about being available 24/7. It's about creating safety through authority, building trust by asking better questions, and making recommendations without being pushy.  So how do you shift from being “just another agent” to the one buyers actually listen to? How do you guide clients without making them feel like subordinates? In this episode of Level Up, we break down exactly what separates the buyer's agents who burn out from the ones who close deals consistently, and how you can step into that second category.   Buyer's agents want to be the respected advisor, but they tend to act like they're just the door opener. -Greg Harrelson   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Value beats volume Being available 24/7 and running from showing to showing doesn't make you a better agent. What happens when you focus on bringing value and expertise instead of more showings? The power of buyer consultations Most agents skip straight to showings, but consultations uncover motivation, timelines, and deal-breakers.

Paul McNulty has had at least three careers. After graduating from law school, he spent 20 years in public service, rising to the top levels of the U.S. Department of Justice. Then he moved to one of the nation's – some might say the world's – top law firms. But service was in his blood, and in 2014 he became president of his alma mater, Grove City College. He has just retired from that position, after an 11 year stint. At a time when lots of colleges are shutting down, Grove City – under McNulty's leadership – has thrived. I asked Paul to be on the program today to do a retrospective of his career, and our conversation ranges widely, from his time in government, to the death of his son due to cancer in 2012, and his involvement with Keith and Kristyn Getty and their efforts to bring theologically rich and musically excellent hymns to the modern church. But the center of our conversation today is a discussion about the challenges facing higher education, and how Christian colleges can meet those challenges. Paul McNulty spoke to me from his home in Charleston, South Carolina.

In this episode of Voices of Otolaryngology, host Rahul K. Shah, MD, MBA, AAO-HNS EVP and CEO, talks with Matthew D. Scarlett, MD, a private practice otolaryngologist in Charleston, South Carolina, and current Chair of the Academy's ENT Political Action Committee (PAC) Board. Dr. Scarlett breaks down how ENT PAC amplifies the voices of otolaryngologists on Capitol Hill, from securing meetings with lawmakers to advancing bills on prior authorization reform, Medicare reimbursement, and newborn CMV screening. Dr. Scarlett shares his personal journey into advocacy—sparked by frustration with barriers to patient care—and explains how ENT PAC strategically supports bipartisan lawmakers who can make a difference for physicians. The discussion highlights how the PAC Board prioritizes issues, the importance of member participation, and how easy actions like responding to “Act Now” alerts can significantly impact legislative outcomes. Whether you're a seasoned ENT or a trainee new to advocacy, this episode demystifies ENT PAC, encourages engagement, and shows how collective action strengthens the specialty's voice in Washington, DC.  Resources:  AAO-HNS Federal Legislative Advocacy: https://www.entnet.org/advocacy/federal-legislative-advocacy/ Project 535: https://myspecialty.entnet.org/AAOHNS/Project-535/Project-535.aspx Donate to the ENT PAC: https://donation.edonation.com/entpac/website/donate  Note: Contributions to ENT PAC are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.

Trump issued an executive order last week saying he was directing the federal government to “a national strategy to investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations that foment political violence ..." He and his administration have maintained that political violence and domestic terrorism in the U.S. comes from a vast network left and progressive non-profits, donors, foundations, etc. Furthermore, they are mobilizing the federal government to crack down on this "vast network." This is despite the fact that most political violence with fatalities in the U.S. comes from people identified as "right" or "far right." In fact, studies show over 75% of political violence is committed by right wingers. (A Dept. of Justice (DOJ) study showed the prevalence of political violence on the far right, and the Trump administration took down the study from DOJ's website for stating this very fact.) Notable examples include the 2015 mass shooting at a black church in Charleston, SC, the 2018 mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue, the storming and riot of the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6th, 2021 and, of course, the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995--the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in the United States taking 168 lives. In our latest, we talk about how the violence isn't a both sides issue, but instead one of ruling class repression. We discuss history, current events and lots of facts and studies. We discuss how political violence carried out against leftists, progressives or liberals is a reaction to equality and justice done in the interests of the ruling class (whether they want it or not is irrelevant).We're living in harrowing times and being as informed and educated as possible is more important now than ever. ------------------Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody

Tourpreneur hosts Mitch Bach and Peter Syme come to you live from Berlin! They attended GetYourGuide's Unlocked conference, where over 300 of their tour, activity, and attraction partners gathered from around the world to have a day-long discussion that will shape the future of the platform, and our industry in part. (Last year's supplier discussions focused on the need for curation, leading directly to a major shift in the platform's direction.)Peter and Mitch spent most of the day speaking with tour operators there, but when end-of-day drinks happened, GetYourGuide's COO Tao Tao said "let's grab some beers and go have a chat!" And we couldn't resist the chance to pepper him with questions.In an age of carefully scripted, PR-focused corporate conversations, we appreciated Tao's candor and willingness to answer everything we threw at him. Our questions were a little wacky, a little philosophical and extremely eclectic. But he didn't shy away from anything. And the result really exposes GetYourGuide's vision (and bet) for how an experiences marketplace should look in 2025 and beyond.This conversation is wide-ranging to say the least, and a good follow-up after our podcast in January (which is also a must-listen).In this episode we cover a lot of terrain:Mitch gets a little wacky with social commentary: Are reviews actually good for our industry? Are we all better off experiencing travel through serendipity and wandering, rather than organized, booked experiences?Pete notices an end-of-day discussion on "moods" and asked Tao whether GetYourGuide should be developing mood and feeling filters!Tao shares why they created a conference to show up for their suppliers, even when there's tough love in the room.We ask how, 9 months later, the shift to a more curated marketplace is progressing. Are we nearing the end of the process, or just the beginning?We veer into a strange conversation around which movie or TV show best describes the current OTA situation, and how GetYourGuide thinks about what they're doing as an organization that partially sets the tone for what tours & activities are.Tao shares how in the age of AI, product differentiation and curation will only get more important.We all agree our industry needs to grow the pie. But how? In what direction?New AI reviews and filters point to a future possibility where the right tour is surfaced in a more personalized way, and quality is assessed beyond star ratings.Finally, we get Tao's advice for new businesses and how they should position themselves in the industry and the platform for best success.And GetYourGuide is a sponsor of TourWeek 2025, our global conference with 400 tour & activity industry players coming to Charleston, SC for more meaty, frothy conversations!More show notes and resources on tourpreneur.com

What happens when a childhood nickname becomes a musical identity? Josh Gale and Sean from the band Gale Byrd join us to share how football fields in Texas, marsh sunsets in Charleston, and the everyday struggles of marriage have shaped their distinctive sound.The conversation dives deep into the creative heartbeat of this Charleston-based band. Josh reveals how his football nickname "Gale Bird" eventually became their band name, while Sean explains the meticulous production process that transforms their raw inspiration into polished tracks. Most touching is the story of how Josh's wife Melissa, silenced by childhood criticism, found her voice again through marriage and now stands as a vital part of their musical identity.Charleston's natural beauty plays a starring role in their creative process. The marshlands, harbor sunsets, and coastal atmosphere provide both inspiration and therapy for the band members. This connection to place infuses their music with an authentic spirit that fans immediately recognize. After a decade-long hiatus to focus on raising families, Gale Bird has returned with a renewed sense of purpose, crafting songs that speak directly to the heart of adult relationships.Their upcoming single "Roses" carries a powerful message: "Don't hold your roses till the funeral, take every chance to tell her she's beautiful." Written nearly a year before recent tragic events made headlines, the song's reminder about life's fragility feels uncannily timely. Through honest storytelling and melodic craftsmanship, Gale Bird creates music that encourages listeners to cherish relationships while navigating life's complexities.Episode LinksGale Bird: https://galebird.com/Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ The Jay Franze Show: https://thejayfranzeshow.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Reach Out: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Mailbag: https://jayfranze.com/mailbag/ Question of the Day: https://jayfranze.com/question/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Consulting: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Stand Out or Fade Out: https://jayfranze.com/books/

Mike Switzer interviews Teri Errico Griffis, assistant business editor and senior reporter at the Post and Courier in Charleston, SC.

Looking to get his life on a better track, Bro. Niles Schumm took his mother's suggestion and joined the Odd Fellows.  That led him to his local lodge where he started to get more and more involved in lodge activities.  After not too many more years, he started to get interested in serving at the Grand Lodge level and is currently the Grand Warden of Illinois.  Bro. Schumm recounts his journey into Odd Fellowship and talks about his philosophy of desiring to bring about cooperation among members in Illinois and neighboring jurisdictions.  He also shares some of the things that he's done working with the Grand Lodge to help strengthen lodges in need of assistance.  The Shoutout goes to Tonquish Lodge #32 in Michigan for their recent success in growing the lodge and reaching out to their community.  In the Odd Podge, Toby shares the joy of receiving his 25 year jewel at his home lodge in Seattle; Ainslie tells us about the Riverboat Cruise he attended that was organized by Gem City Lodge #357 in Illinois, Niles invites us all to his Friendsgiving celebration, and Mike expresses his joy and gratitude over the recent Sovereign Grand Lodge session in Charleston, WV.

Send us a textThe morning the DEA walked into a small Charleston clinic, a life split in two. One moment a respected physician, the next a number, a cell, and a label that would follow forever. What unfolded after the raid wasn't a neat comeback—it was cold floors, no visitors, and a verse on loop: “Be anxious for nothing.” And from that stripped place, a different kind of story took root.We sit with a raw account of shock, shame, and the slow work of grace. You'll hear about the Christian group that showed up with toiletries, the radio sermon that landed like a lifeline, and the hard decision to keep living when despair felt easier. We talk plainly about what a felony changes—travel bans, lost rights, doors that stay closed—and what it doesn't: the capacity to love, to learn, to serve without applause. Along the way, we widen the lens to the “but God” pattern pulsing through Scripture—the wine gone at Cana, the empty baskets before thousands, the Red Sea at their backs, the tomb sealed shut—moments where human effort ends and mercy begins.From there, we turn to love as first principle. Not sentiment, but a way of moving through the world when fear and rejection press in. We unpack how love makes the other virtues possible, why obedience isn't wasted even when it's refused, and how joy and humor are not escapes from pain but signs that healing is taking hold. The conversation is honest, warm, and unscripted—part testimony, part teaching, part family table. If you've ever felt defined by your worst day, or wondered where God is when the bottom falls out, this one is for you.Subscribe, share with someone who needs hope, and leave a review with your own “but God” moment—we'd love to hear it.Support the show

Welcome to a very special episode and wisdom mini-series. This four-part series originates from an archive of rare 2004 recordings of wisdom conversations with my mentor, John Wells Jr. Sadly, John passed away in early February 2005, after battling cancer. Those conversations and recordings served as a pre-cursor, perhaps even a prequel to this podcast which launched 15 years later in 2019. In the truest sense this has been two decades in the making.   Embracing Adversity with Grace and Resilience  Here in Part One our our mini-series, you will hear John share a wisdom lesson with me on the importance of embracing and reframing adversity. Football season is upon us, and appropriately John's lesson is rooted in a mythical football game. There are victories … and then there are special victories.   More About Our Wise Guest - John Wells, Jr. John was one of the most effective and influential mentors in my lifetime. He taught, led and influenced me, opening my eyes and expanding my thinking on those things that truly matter. I was deeply blessed to know him.   John was a dedicated retail veteran and community leader who co-founded Wells Home Furnishings after working his years working at R.H. Kyle Furniture Co. Known for his entrepreneurial spirit, he led his business to award-winning success and earned induction into the National Wholesale Furniture Association Hall of Fame. Beyond his career, Wells was deeply involved in civic and youth service organizations in Charleston, including the Boys Scouts, YMCA and United Way, among others, reflecting his commitment to community betterment.   His leadership extended to serving as past president of the National Wholesale Furniture Association, where he influenced industry standards and fostered professional growth. Locally, John was known as an effective, tireless leader and chairperson of several charity fundraising drives.   His excellence was recognized on the national stage. In 2000, John was honored with the prestigious Ernst Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. He never sought the spotlight, and yet one day the President of the United States, George W. Bush, stood in Charleston and honored John Wells for his service. His legacy is marked by his dedication to his family, his profession and his community, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.   Resources YMCA Spirit of the Valley Tribute Video to John Wells, Jr. (2005) Wells Home Furnishings website   Credits Special thanks to Motion Masters, Inc. - Diana Sole Walko, CEO/President - for generously supporting and capturing video and audio from these 2004 sessions.

Some agents think market data is just a bunch of MLS stats to throw into a listing presentation. Just absorption rates, days on market, and sales ratios that you check off like a box.  But it's actually one of the most powerful persuasion tools you have. Market data shifts the conversation from opinion to fact, from convincing to guiding. It builds your confidence, gives clients a clear picture they can't argue with, and it helps you close more deals. The truth s, too many agents hide behind generic terms like “the market is slow” or “inventory is high.” Those phrases don't move clients; they confuse them.  Without specifics, your advice sounds like just another opinion. And in a market where clients are bombarded with opinions from social media, friends, and Zillow alerts, opinions don't close deals. Facts do. How do we turn raw numbers into stories that help clients? How does that lead to more closings? In this episode of Level Up, we show you how to use numbers to set expectations, have better conversations, overcome objections, and close more deals.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Facts beat opinions every time When you let the market data speak instead of your own opinion, clients stop arguing and start listening. What happens when you shift from convincing to simply presenting the facts? The one number that tells the whole story Absorption rate reveals both demand and supply in a single snapshot. How does knowing this metric instantly change the way you talk about the market? Painting a clearer picture with specifics Telling a seller “the market is slow” falls flat, but showing them that 90% of listings are sitting unsold hits home. What does that do to their pricing mindset? The three-price strategy Presenting sellers with three time-based pricing options sets expectations before the listing ever hits the market. How does this keep you from endless price-reduction battles later? About Your Host Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer, and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

That people that had tidier lives still needed God, that the messy parts of my life did not disqualify me from His love, from ministry, from calling, from any of those things.” —Jess Connolly  “I'm thankful for the victory and the vision that pain afforded me.” —Jess Connolly  “If John says, ‘if the Son has set you free, you are free indeed,' how much of that do I get to experience here on earth? How much of that do I get to experience as it pertains to my body?” —Jess Connolly  “If You created our bodies as good, do we spend the rest of our lives trying to make them good, or can we spend the rest of our lives agreeing that they're good? If so, what would that look like? What would it look like to stop trying to make my body good and instead just come into alignment with the truth that it already is? That's what breaking body shame is about for me.” —Jess Connolly  “For many of us, we don't know where we end and where He begins. We don't know what we're responsible for and what He's responsible for. We've somehow bought this lie that we graduate from needing Him—but I don't want to get over that. I still want to be a girl that acknowledges that I need God.” —Jess Connolly   Verses:  2 Corinthians 12:9  John 20:11-18 – Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene  Luke 8:2 – Jesus healing Mary Magdalene   Related Episodes: GHH Ep 146 – Reading Truth with Amanda Williams: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/reading-truth/  Links:  Jess Connolly's Website: https://www.jessconnolly.com/ God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Share Your Story:  https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/
