In part 2 of my interview with Chelsey Goodan, author of Underestimated: The Wisdom and Power of Teenage Girls, we really break down the inner parts of writing, including how to be OK with the fact that people may misunderstand you. (If this sounds familiar, it's because this week's episodes are replays–I figured, since it's back to school season re-airing an interview with an author who extols the power of teenage girls made a lot of sense!) Other things we cover: - The mistake most well-intentioned parents make - How Chelsey deals with her biggest fear about her work–being misunderstood - Dealing with a perfectionistic inner critic - Chelsey's “intense” relationship to time - The one cultural belief Chesley would like to vaporize - The truth that Chelsey's had to model for the teen girls in her life - The book and online personality assessment Chelsey swears by (and uses with the teens in her life, too) For full show notes with links to everything we discuss, plus bonus photos!, visit katehanley.substack.com.

It's bonus episode time. In today's Special Features episode Felicia is joined by Charles Forsman and Joey Gantner to discuss the only punk sci-fi film that matters, Repo Man (Alex Cox 1984). We chat about how Alex Cox not only made one of the most important films about punk culture but how he was able to successfully infuse other genres to make it a complete story. Along with how members of the LA Punk community came together to create an authentic piece of cinema that continues to grow more of a cult following over the years.

Scientists say new research confirms results of an earlier study suggesting the crash of a spacecraft into an asteroid changed the shape of the targeted object. 科学家表示，新的研究证实了早期研究的结果，即航天器撞击小行星改变了目标物体的形状。 The latest research follows another recent study examining the effects of the asteroid strike. NASA crashed its DART spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos in 2022 in an area about 11 million kilometers from Earth. 这项最新研究是在最近另一项研究小行星撞击影响的研究之后进行的。 2022 年，美国宇航局 (NASA) 将其 DART 航天器撞向距离地球约 1100 万公里的小行星Dimorphos。 The experiment tested a method for changing the orbit of some asteroids to prevent them from possibly crashing into our planet in the future. 该实验测试了一种改变一些小行星轨道的方法，以防止它们将来可能撞击我们的星球。 NASA has said its studies of the crash showed it was successful because the force of the strike changed the asteroid's orbit around a larger asteroid called Didymos. Data also showed the strike reduced the orbital period of Dimorphos by 33 minutes. 美国宇航局表示，对这次撞击的研究表明这次撞击是成功的，因为撞击的力量改变了小行星围绕一颗名为“迪迪莫斯”的更大小行星的轨道。 数据还显示，这次撞击使 Dimorphos 的轨道周期缩短了 33 分钟。The team that carried out the most recent research said that in addition to changing the asteroid's orbit, it appears the crash also changed the shape of Dimorphos. 进行最新研究的团队表示，除了改变了小行星的轨道之外，这次撞击似乎还改变了迪莫佛斯的形状。 This confirms results of the earlier study, which concluded that the crash had likely “completely reshaped” Dimorphos and turned it into a relatively weak collection of “rubble.” The team carrying out that study used a computer simulation system to study the changes to Dimorphos. 这证实了早期研究的结果，该研究得出的结论是，这次碰撞可能“彻底重塑”了 Dimorphos，并将其变成了相对脆弱的“瓦砾”集合。 进行该研究的团队使用计算机模拟系统来研究 Dimorphos 的变化。 The new research suggests that while Dimorphos had a mostly round shape before the crash, it was reshaped by the strike into an object that looks more like a watermelon. The technical term for this kind of shape is triaxial ellipsoid, the scientists said. 新的研究表明，虽然 Dimorphos 在坠机前的形状大部分是圆形的，但它在撞击后被重塑成看起来更像西瓜的物体。 科学家们说，这种形状的技术术语是三轴椭球。Steve Chesley is a senior research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California. He was the co-writer of a study describing the findings that recently appeared in the publication Planetary Science Journal. 史蒂夫·切斯利 (Steve Chesley) 是美国宇航局加利福尼亚州喷气推进实验室 (JPL) 的高级研究科学家。 他是一项研究的合著者，该研究描述了最近发表在《行星科学杂志》上的研究结果。Chesley told Reuters news agency the data studied for the latest research shows Dimorphos is currently a collection of non-solid debris including dust, rocks and other materials. This state means the asteroid's “strength is quite low,” permitting Dimorphos to reshape more easily than a more solid object. 切斯利告诉路透社，最新研究的数据显示，Dimorphos 目前是非固体碎片的集合，包括灰尘、岩石和其他材料。 这种状态意味着小行星的“强度相当低”，使得 Dimorphos 比更坚固的物体更容易重塑。 The new study's lead writer was Shantanu Naidu. He told Reuters the asteroid was able to completely reshape because the strike by the asteroid turned much of its material into rubble. 这项新研究的主要作者是尚塔努·奈杜 (Shantanu Naidu)。 他告诉路透社，这颗小行星之所以能够完全重塑，是因为小行星的撞击将其大部分物质变成了碎石。 The researchers based their findings on the shape and orbit of Dimorphos on observations from ground-based telescopes. They looked at how sunlight reflections off the surfaces of the two asteroids changed over time. They also used data from radio waves that hit the objects and images the DART spacecraft captured. 研究人员根据地面望远镜的观测结果得出了 Dimorphos 的形状和轨道的结论。 他们观察了两颗小行星表面的阳光反射随时间的变化。 他们还使用了来自撞击物体的无线电波的数据以及 DART 航天器捕获的图像。 Researchers have said they expect to learn more about the two asteroids in the future.研究人员表示，他们希望将来能更多地了解这两颗小行星。 The European Space Agency's Hera spacecraft plans to launch in October and reach the asteroids by late 2026. ESA says Hera's cameras and instruments will carry out detailed studies of Dimorphos and Didymos. During the operation, the spacecraft will aim to collect the most data yet on such an asteroid system. 欧洲航天局的 Hera 航天器计划于 10 月发射，并于 2026 年底到达小行星。ESA 表示，Hera 的相机和仪器将对 Dimorphos 和 Didymos 进行详细研究。 在操作过程中，航天器的目标是收集有关此类小行星系统的最多数据。 "We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of ESA's Hera spacecraft, when we will be able to compare our modeled shape with that obtained from Hera imagery,” Chesley said. He added, “We will also learn how much the orbit has changed since we last observed it in 2023." 切斯利说：“我们正在焦急地等待欧空局赫拉航天器的到来，届时我们将能够将我们的模型形状与从赫拉图像中获得的形状进行比较。”他补充说，“我们还将了解自上次以来轨道发生了多少变化 2023 年观测到了这一现象。”

Chelsey Collins graduated from UCD as a physiotherapist in 2017. She has always wanted to and seeked out mentorship and experiences working alongside top sports physiotherapists in Canada. Chesley currently works with ORCA Performance specializing in Force Deck analysis and ACL rehabilitation in youth & university athletes as a physiotherapist.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Caps loss in Arizona and what need to change before they take on the Dallas Stars. The game got out of hand in the first period where the score was 5-0 Arizona. Darcy Kuemper was chased out of the net. The Capitals struggled the entire game and could not find the back of the net. Later Dan talks about how the Caps should give some of the elite players in Hershey a chance in DC so they could shake things up and hopefully start scoring goals. Later Dan talks about how Ryan Leonard and Ryan Chesley named to Team USA's preliminary 2024 World Junior Championship roster.

Did you know that the traditional model of the church has not changed for over 1,700 years? But with the rise of digital technology, we are seeing some shifts in the structures that have also changed the way we express our faith. In this episode, Adam interviews Chestly Lunday, a speaker and consultant on issues of generational change in churches, and other organizations. Chestly has given over 1,000 presentations in seven countries reaching over 100,000 people, and has led a team to develop a groundbreaking new study on emerging generational trends within our institutions at the intersection of technology and faith.  Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Chesley's work on emerging generational trends in churches and businesses How Martin Luther's work changed how faith was practiced How digital reformation changed the game about how we express our faith Embracing the fear of change and innovation  Does technology increase the anxiety around faith? What makes a good business leader Leveling out the hierarchical structure in churches The importance of relational empathy and community Episode Highlights: [07:27] How Martin Luther's Work Changed How Faith was Practiced Martin Luther was a key Protestant figure who challenged the corruption of the 16th century Catholic Church. He objected to practices such as selling indulgences, which he believed went against true Christian teachings. Luther's use of the printing press to disseminate his ideas in German was a game-changer, allowing access to information for the common man. This innovation sparked the Protestant Reformation and enabled Luther's ideas to spread throughout Europe. Today's digital reformation is similarly breaking down barriers to information, making Luther's legacy more relevant than ever. [11:26] How Digital Reformation Changed The Game About How We Express Our Faith For over 1700 years, the traditional church model has remained largely unchanged, built for a pre-literate and agrarian society. However, the digital age has changed everything. With the internet and social media, people can access information and connect with others from anywhere in the world. This has forced churches to rethink how they express their faith, as traditional sermons and buildings are no longer the only ways to connect. Social media provides new opportunities to build communities and share messages in a more personal and accessible way. The digital reformation has opened up exciting possibilities for expressing and experiencing faith, and it will be interesting to see its continued evolution. [16:15] How to Embrace Fear of Change The way we interpret Scripture is influenced by our worldview, but at the heart of faith is the belief that a divine relationship between God and humanity can bring transformation, fulfillment, and purpose to our lives, not just in the afterlife, but here and now. Whether we identify as atheist, agnostic, or belong to a particular faith tradition, we all seek a sense of purpose that makes our daily efforts feel meaningful. For some, this may manifest as a humanist philosophy that replaces the concept of a divine being, while for others, it may be rooted in a particular faith tradition. Regardless of the form it takes, the credibility of a transformative message and the availability of vehicles for transformation are what drive us to pursue our work. [35:44] What Makes a Good Leader As a leader, it is crucial to have a clear vision and direction. Being a strategic, results-oriented leader is essential for gaining followers and achieving success. Without these qualities, people are unlikely to follow and support your goals.

She has photographed celebrities, WW II, events and people and so on. And I don't know what all being blind Do I look at pictures? No, not necessarily, but I appreciate them. Although my favorite joke is although people say a picture is worth 1000 words, I would point out that it takes up a whole lot more memory. So do it that much. But welcome to unstoppable mindset. How are you?   Marlana Semenza  02:01 I'm well thank you so much for having me.   Michael Hingson  02:03 Well, thanks for being here. And Marlena also has her own podcast and we will get to that and talk about that as we go forward. I'm sure why don't we start a little bit by maybe you telling us just about you growing up and kind of some of the the early things, you know, to sort of set the stage for what you did with your life.   Marlana Semenza  02:21 Well, I was actually born in New Jersey, and then my mother transplanted me to Connecticut when I was about 10. We're in New Jersey. I was born in Morristown, New Jersey. Okay. Then, when we got to Connecticut, it was in Fairfield County, Connecticut, I was in New Fairfield, which is about an hour north of Fairfield. But it was great because I never really lived more than an hour outside of New York City for most of my life. So that's a very rich culture. And you have access to a lot of a lot of things. My grandfather, who I adored, put a camera in my hand when I was a kid. And that was his hobby. And I because I idolized him and wanted to do everything he was doing. Then it became my hobby, and then later on became my profession.   Michael Hingson  03:18 I was reading your bio, and it said that you stepped on a tour bus and began a speaking career. What's that about?   Marlana Semenza  03:26 Well, not a speaking career. I've   Michael Hingson  03:27 not a speaking career but a career. Yeah, adventure.   Marlana Semenza  03:32 I graduated from college with a degree in photography. And before I went to Western Connecticut State in Danbury, Connecticut. Originally, I was going to go to Fordham for law. And what happened was, I didn't really want to have all the college debt. So I thought, Okay, well, I'm gonna go locally, somewhere for a year and get some common core under my belt. And I don't know why. I never, it never occurred to me that you could make a living in the arts, I don't know where I thought all of the photos in magazines and things came from. But once I realized that you could actually do it for a living that hobby then became what I wanted to do. But about, oh, six months or so before I graduated, a friend of mine was working for WWE, which actually at the time was WWF and Stamford, Connecticut. And he worked in the graphic design department. And they were looking for somebody to work in photo editing. So I went down to apply for the job in photo editing. And my soon to be boss came into the interview. And by the end of the interview, he said to me, do you have a problem with airplanes? And I said, Well, no. And he said, That's good, because instead of photo editing, you're going to be my assistant and I was given the time to meet, which was in the evening. I stepped on a tour bus. I was they pointed and said this is your bunk it was me and I think it was six guys And I had never watched wrestling in my life. I knew nothing about wrestling. And the next morning, I stepped off the bus, walked backstage at the arena and looked around and went, What have I done? But it's, yeah, it was, once I got past the initial shock of it all, it was actually an amazing, amazing experience that I'm eternally grateful for. Yeah.   Michael Hingson  05:27 So you, you started a career and certainly an adventure. No, no question about it. I had some experience with photographers after September 11. I was contacted by I don't even remember who but it had to do with the fact that I think PepsiCo had been involved in a campaign to raise funds for the families of people who perished on September 11. And they wanted people who had become visible. And I certainly had in the one of the things that they wanted to do was to put pictures of people into ads in USA Today. And so one November day, and I lived in New Jersey at the time, we lived in Westfield, but one November day, in 2001, I went into New York and went to the photographs photography studio of Richard Avedon. Oh, and of course, Richard Avedon, with the time was probably the most famous photographer in the world. Anyway, we, he took a picture of me and Roselle, it took about 45 minutes all together, and it was done. It was very enjoyable time very pleasurable to spend some time with him. And there we were, and I still have that picture to this day, which is great, because he sent me a copy.   Marlana Semenza  06:54 I love that. And that. As soon as you said his name, several images of his just flashed through my head. Like, yeah, oh, well, um, there's one of a woman jumping off the sidewalk, I believe that's his image with a umbrella. And I remember, I think there was another one that he shot of, I want to say it was Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller. But anyway, there's, there's several different images that I that popped into my head.   Michael Hingson  07:33 It was a very, as I said, pleasurable experience. And he was a person who clearly knew what what he was doing. And, you know, a lot of people said, Oh, you're going to be there all afternoon, because photographers take a long time. And clearly, it wasn't that way. He knew what he was about. He got the shot set up that he wanted, and we were done.   Marlana Semenza  07:55 Yeah. And, you know, it's interesting that you say that, because I've had people say to me, you know, do you work with assistants? And what kind of equipment do you bring with you to various sessions and things like that. And maybe it was all the years that I spent in studios, and lugging all kinds of gear around and things like that. But if I can't carry it on my person than in my head, I don't need it. And I think part of that also came from because I photograph weddings for a brief period of time in my life. And it's just that being free to kind of run and gun and, and use whatever you see and had the fluidity and the flexibility. And also to i i don't like a whole lot of people on set. I like it to be whoever I'm photographing and me because this is what we're going to make together.   Michael Hingson  08:49 You talking about. This just reminds me of the times after September 11. For me, when people started wanting to come in interview me the press heard the story. They got a hold of it, especially after appearing on Larry King Live. And literally we had hundreds of people, over a few months come to our home. And we had a number of television stations from around the world. And we had everything from one or two people from one station who came set up, did their interview and so on. All the way up to 14 people from one Italian station, who came in it took 14 People they felt to do the interviews, which was amazing. A couple of people just stood around and directed and didn't really do anything. And they had a number of camera people and it was just incredible. The number of people who came for that interview and we always wondered why but everyone is different.   Marlana Semenza  09:46 Yeah, you know, I sometimes wonder when people do that why? And you know, I have to say all of the photographer's that took the images from 911 because I lived up in Connecticut at the time You're right across the river really? Right? Um, I would not have been one of those photographers, because I know me and I would have been running and it would not have been a matter of, oh, let me capture this. And no, I would have been running,   Michael Hingson  10:18 as opposed to the two French photographers of the French people who actually recorded and had the first real recordings of that day, having seen the first plane go into the building, and they were there covering one of the fire stations, but they got probably the best early coverage of everything that eventually went into a documentary.   Marlana Semenza  10:40 Yeah, yeah, I give them all credit. But I would not have been wondering, yeah.   Michael Hingson  10:46 Well, I don't know you've done pretty well tell us more about WWE. So they showed you where your bunk was. And there you were. So tell us about that.   Marlana Semenza  10:54 Yeah. And I didn't even go away to college. So for me to climb on that bus and be a part of this. And for the first, I don't know, several months or so, it was showering in the arenas and get climbing back on the bus and going to the next place. And the job was held for me while I went back and finished my last semester at school. But, you know, then after that I graduated there were only maybe, I don't know, a handful of women on the road at that point. And so one of the producers and I, once they, once they decided, you know, I didn't have to ride the bus with the guys anymore. I got to go actually in a rental car and sleep in a hotel, like a, like a big girl. Christina and I traveled together a lot. And so that was nice, too. Because what that also allowed I was young, I was, you know, very, very early 20s. So that allowed me to be able to sometimes fly into a location early or out of a location later, if I wanted and be able to see a lot of the country. I saw 32 states and three years and a lot of them more than once.   Michael Hingson  12:09 What was it like being on the bus with with those guys, it had to be a little bit intimidating. If for no other reason being a woman or not, there are a whole lot bigger, and they're wrestlers. And you're not?   Marlana Semenza  12:21 Well, the fortunate thing is I didn't have to be on the bus with the wrestlers. That the bus that I was on, we were all of the people that had to be first at the arena. So it was my boss who was the head of production for for all the live events, my boss, the sound guys, the the riggers, things like that, that had to get the lighting, all set in the arena. So that's who I traveled with the wrestlers. The funny thing about it is most of them became almost like Big Brother ish to me. I am not a big girl. So I literally came up to most of their chest. And, you know, it was, it was just an amazing time and an amazing experience. And a lot of them were friends of mine up until, unfortunately, most of them are deceased. Now, the people that I worked with, but it was just a great time, it was a really, really great time.   Michael Hingson  13:29 But they valued you and they respected you. And do you think that they treated the other people all the other people that you rode with sort of the same way? Or were you special to them? Because you weren't,   Marlana Semenza  13:44 I mean, you know, you always have guys that are going to push it and and see, you know if they can get a rise out of you or, or, or try and review or something like that. And you know, we were no different. But at the end of the day. A lot of the things that other people may have experienced and I don't know what other people's experience was. But I know for me, I didn't have I wasn't put in bad positions. I wasn't put in, you know, they were they were good to me.   Michael Hingson  14:19 What great memories, huh? Yeah, that's cool. And then you got to go. Not on the same bus. Why did that happen? Just because you rose through the ranks and became kind of more of a of a higher end person or what? Oh, God,   Marlana Semenza  14:34 no. Just checking. I think it was just, you know, let's give the girl a break. Get her off the bus. You know, and I didn't really have to be there. At the time that everybody else has rode that bus had to be there. So I think it was just a kindness on my boss's part.   Michael Hingson  14:57 me recognize that you could be more efficient doing other things rather than just sitting around or sitting around waiting.   Marlana Semenza  15:02 Yeah, that can very well be the case. Well, well,   Michael Hingson  15:06 well think good thoughts. Yeah. How long did you do that for WWE for years? Well, then what did you   Marlana Semenza  15:15 do? I've always been freelance my whole life. So from there, I actually got off the road and did a bunch of work for a cartooning and animation company also. Because I had a minor in illustration. So I, that company we did the monsters comic book and the Tom and Jerry comic strip and animation sells for various places that were limited edition. And from there, I got to go out to Comic Con in San Diego with them, which Oh, boy. Yeah, I'll tell you. You think wrestling is crazy. Go to Comic Con. Tell us a whole nother experience for me.   Michael Hingson  15:55 I've never been to Comic Con. I've heard about it, you know a lot. But I'd love to hear some of your experiences.   Marlana Semenza  16:01 Um, once again, I was surrounded by people from people in Halloween costumes, pretty much in a dressing up as this superhero or that superhero. And when we went out there, it was when we were doing the monsters comic book. So we had Pat priest who was Maryland monster and Butch Patrick, who had played any monster out signing autographs and signing the comic books. And so, you know, we got to spend some time with them. And, you know, comic book artists are amazing artists, also. So, but there was a little bit of Have you ever seen the Big Bang Theory? Oh, lots. Yeah. Okay. I'm convinced. I saw lots of Shelton's and Leonard's and Rogers and Howard's walking around. Any pennies? I'm very, very, very think that. Yeah, I think the pennies were mostly the actresses that were paid to be the superheroes.   Michael Hingson  17:11 Got it. But you But you saw lots of the other characters?   Marlana Semenza  17:15 Oh, yes. Without a doubt, without a doubt.   Michael Hingson  17:18 Did you ever were any of the actual actors ever? There were like Jim Parsons, or any of them today?   Marlana Semenza  17:26 No. The only other than Pat Preston. Which Patrick the only other celebrity that I recall seeing there was Lou Ferrigno.   Michael Hingson  17:35 Oh, the Hulk.   Marlana Semenza  17:39 The original Hulk,   Michael Hingson  17:40 who original? Well, not the original one, but because it goes back before the cartoons. Yes. But original series. Yeah. Well,   Marlana Semenza  17:47 I guess what I'm getting at is that dates me but that's okay. I saw that hook. And then I used to also work with the other Hulk in wrestling. So yeah, yeah. Yeah.   Michael Hingson  17:57 Yeah. I mean, for a while original one. Yeah, he Well, there you go. See? Well, when hoax can can protect the body so it's okay. So, what did you do at Comic Con, you took pictures?   Marlana Semenza  18:10 No, actually, because when I worked for the cartooning and animation company was called animated arts. I was actually an artist assistant. So backgrounds and things like that the reason why they took me out to ComiCon was, so I could help be talent relations, because of my background with wrestling, and working with all of them. So that was mostly why I was. So what do you mean by that? I'm just getting people where they need to be when they needed to be there, making sure that they had what they needed. That type of thing.   Michael Hingson  18:49 So I know COVID has affected Comicon. Needless to say, but at the same time, I think we had ComiCon this year. Have you been   Marlana Semenza  18:57 back? No, I have not. I haven't been in years.   Michael Hingson  19:02 Do you want to go back?   Marlana Semenza  19:05 I would go back to work it again. I'm not a good I'm good in production. I'm not so good in the stance.   Michael Hingson  19:18 Not a good tourist. I'm not like rather than working.   Marlana Semenza  19:23 Yeah. Let me get my hands into it. And I'm better.   Michael Hingson  19:29 Cool. Well, so as a as a photographer, you must feel you do things that that make you stand out or make you different from other people so that people want to hire you what makes you different? What do you think makes you different than other photographers in the world?   Marlana Semenza  19:51 I think part of it is background. But I would also say another part of it is at the end of the day, I'm really not in the photography business. I'm in reputation business. So, because of that, it's, you know, photography is obviously the vessel that I use to help people tell their stories and stand out and create a reputation. But that's really the business that I'm in, not so much the image taking for the image taking sick.   Michael Hingson  20:21 So you want to tell stories,   Marlana Semenza  20:24 I want to tell stories, but I also, my job is to take what makes you valuable and unique. And relay that to the people that need to know it in a way that will connect. So it's, yeah, it's it's more than just the capturing of an image, there's a lot of strategy that goes into it. There's a lot of, okay, well, how can we make this effective? How can we, how can we make it connect these images connect and unique for the person that they're being created for?   Michael Hingson  21:01 So you have to develop a good, strong relationship with the clients, the people that you're working with? And I guess there's, in a sense, there's kind of two levels of clients, they're the people who may hire you, who may not actually be the people that you interact with, but then they're also the people that you interact with. And so there must be a lot of trust and teamwork involved and all that.   Marlana Semenza  21:26 Oh, absolutely. I think, especially as I was saying earlier, I like to be one on one with my clients, whenever possible. And because of that, I think that helps establish a level of trust, because it can be just us. And we, we know that we're in it together. And that I value their input, I think trust is essential in because I That's it goes back to working one on one with people. And because this is our creation together, so I value not just the person, but also their input and what we can make together. And, you know, there are a lot of people that just aren't comfortable in front of a camera, they become self conscious, or they don't know how to pose or how to act or how to be. And when you develop that level of trust that I've got you. And that's the whole thing that my clients know is I've got you. I guess it's much, much easier.   Michael Hingson  22:36 I think that's probably what impressed me now that I think back about it about Richard Avedon, because what he really did was very quickly established a level of trust, even if not saying anything, just his attitude and the way he worked. He did spend time wanting to learn about me. And I think that helped him to him deciding what he was going to do and how he was going to do it. But it was all about trust. And I think that no matter what we do, it's really all about trust, when people take the time to develop trust in and gain that trust, it doesn't get any better than that.   Marlana Semenza  23:11 Right. And you know, when I photograph someone, by the time we get to that point where I actually pressed the button, we have had several conversations. And we have, really, because the first thing that I do is there's a large questionnaire that they fill out. And then we dive into that in a meeting. And I've had clients cry during that process, I've had them you know, and what you uncover, just even at that point, develops a relationship that transcends just photographer, subject. And I just think that's really important. Because the better that I can understand you, the better that I can know You, the better these images are going to be, because they will then be more tailored to you and more unique to you.   Michael Hingson  24:09 So what do you actually go through to get people to trust you? What, what's your process?   Marlana Semenza  24:16 Um, like I said, there, there is a questionnaire. It's also it's a large level of honesty on my part, too, because am I fit for everyone? No. And that's okay. The goal is for them to have the best photographer for them. And if I am not that, then I think I need I would be doing them a disservice to not say that. And also, I know enough photographers that I can probably point you in the direction of somebody that will be a better fit for you. Doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with either one of us. It just means that there's somebody else better designed to tell your story and create those images with you than me. And I think it's that level of honesty He too.   Michael Hingson  25:02 So that is part of what you have to do to make sure that you do the best job for your client, which is something that ought to be true in, in general. Trust, it seems to me is so much under attack today in so many different ways, don't you think?   Marlana Semenza  25:18 Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And I think the other thing, too, that that's under attack a lot, too, is humility. I look at humility as a beautiful thing, because it doesn't mean that you think less of yourself, it just means that you are teachable. And that you you think of others before you. And I think that that goes a long way also.   Michael Hingson  25:45 So now, how long have you been doing photography and doing the work that you do?   Marlana Semenza  25:51 I've been a photographer for probably 25 years doing this kind of work, personal brand, things like that. I'm probably about five Wow.   Michael Hingson  26:04 So what did what did you do? So you did the cartoon work? And ComiCon as you said years ago, what did you then go do   Marlana Semenza  26:12 I also have this next for you. Next after that is I went to do some freelance work for the photo department at Ethan Allen. And because I was in Danbury, Connecticut, and that's where their headquarters is and then from there I started to do set styling and design work for them I got to work on their New York Times ads and their style books and their training videos for their designers and their their magazines, things like that. So all of these things the the storytelling that I learned in wrestling and the creating of personas, the the thinking outside the box when it comes to cartooning and animation and creating something from scratch, the set styling and design, the location scouting, all it all of those things come together and that's what I can pull from to tell somebody story now.   Michael Hingson  27:12 So you've said that you don't work with everyone how quickly usually do you discover the you may not be the best fit for someone today,   Marlana Semenza  27:22 um, I can usually tell by one conversation and also combing their social media,   Michael Hingson  27:33 what kinds of things become cues or, or messages that somebody might be the right person for you to work with, as opposed to somebody who isn't?   Marlana Semenza  27:46 If they are the right person, usually, it's funny because the women that I tend to work with have what I refer to as the lashes and Lu batons factor, usually somewhere in in their story or somewhere in there. Their brand, is a bit of fashion is a bit of that beauty angle. But not always, but usually, that's an easy key for me, it's easier to tell who's not a fit. I have one client who has pushed me way out of my comfort zone. And normally he would not have been a good fit for me, he has done Naked and Afraid four times. And I'm just not an outdoorsy girl. I'm not a hiker, I'm not all those things. So normally somebody like that, I have a friend of mine who also does what I do, and she is a hiker, and will you know climb mountains and all those kinds of things. That would have been somebody I would probably have, you know, introduced to her as a better fit. But it turns out he and I want to be in a good fit so far. Even though the first snake I see I might be out of there. I can't guarantee   Michael Hingson  29:09 what what made you decide, though, that that you guys did click,   Marlana Semenza  29:14 um, personality. And there's a lot of trust on his end for me. And I also trust that on his end, when we are in situations that I'm uncomfortable that he's got my back. So I think it goes back to like you said, there's a lot of trust involved.   Michael Hingson  29:39 And you've been able to develop that. So of course, one of the natural things it's tempting to ask is Who are some celebrities that you've worked with over the years that people might have heard of,   Marlana Semenza  29:52 um, most of them would be in the wrestling vein. I've also had The opportunity. One of the first women that I worked with in the pageant community was a woman named Chesley Crist. And a lot of people would know her name at this point, too. She went on to be Miss USA, she went on to be a correspondent for extra TV. And she was just an amazing, amazing woman.   Michael Hingson  30:23 Well, tell us more, if you would, um,   Marlana Semenza  30:27 Chesley. When you met Chesley, she's the was a person that you never forgot. Whenever once you met her or spent any amount of time with her. I remember, when I first walked into the room with her the first time I met her. It was like, even the air turns turned into its attention to her. She was that captivating. She was that type of a presence. And she like I said she went on to be she was Miss North Carolina, USA, then she went on to be Miss USA. Then she went on to I think she finished in the top five or 10 at Miss Universe. I want to say five. And then she went on to be a correspondent for extra TV. And she unfortunately, in January of 2022, was in the news. Because at 30 years old, she committed suicide, she jumped off the 29th floor of her Manhattan high rise. And that opened up a lot for a lot of people. Because in the pageant industry, the pageant world that I knew, and the girls that I work with Chesley was the gold standard. And so for this to happen, it sent a lot of people reeling. Plus also, if you knew Chesley when I remember, when I first saw it in the news, I thought it had to be a mistake. But what it has fortunately done, I'm hoping and I'm seeing is that it's opening up a dialogue, that it's okay to say you're not okay. And for you know, the other thing that was so sad to me, because it's a bigger commentary that I think needs to be addressed is when she was 29. She did a an article for a law magazine. And in that article, she made the statement that she felt like she was running out of time to matter in society's eyes. And unfortunately for women, I think that that becomes a burden that men don't seem to face. We are are faced with this aging. And it is thrown up at us more so than it's thrown up at men. And we feel like we're on more of a timeline or a time crunch than a lot of men, unfortunately. And I'm hoping that that starts a dialogue around that. And hopefully that can change as well.   Michael Hingson  33:06 Yeah, it's it's a significant issue that that is always I think, in a sense been part of society. And maybe we should be fair and say plagued society that you got to look good. And if you don't, you're getting too old or whatever. And you're right, that doesn't tend to pressure men nearly as much as it does with women even so called sexy man. You never hear the same discussion about them that you do about women.   Marlana Semenza  33:38 Right? Here men, you know, oh my gosh, look at how distinguished he looks. Meanwhile, for us, it's good hold she looks. So yeah, that will at least start discussions.   Michael Hingson  33:50 Even if they try to make it a compliment she ages Well, still, it's the same thing. Yeah, exactly. Which is, which is really unfortunate. Well, so for you, you. Most of your business has been in what you do traveling, or do you do most of it from a particular place? How does that work for you?   Marlana Semenza  34:13 Um, I am currently situated just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina. So a lot of my clients actually traveled to me only because I have everything that you could want here as far as backgrounds go, and things like that, if you need something specific. I have traveled to clients. But, you know, during COVID, when we all got thrown into captivity, mostly photography is a face to face. Sport, you know, and it could no longer be so I had to do a real shift. And my friend Claire that I mentioned earlier happened to see a lot of photographers doing photography on using FaceTime. So she's like, let's try this out. So we tried it out and In. Most photographers seem to be doing it for fun. And I thought this is a business model. So I've since then found an app that seems to work really well. And it allows me to take over the camera on your phone. So now I can photograph people remotely all over the world.   Michael Hingson  35:16 Tell me more about that, how does that work?   Marlana Semenza  35:20 I connect, I go through the same process, get to know them, and all that type of thing. So we know what kinds of images they need to create the, and then when we decide that we're going to connect, I connect from my computer to their phone, it'll like I said, it allows me to take over the camera on their phone, and I can still direct them, I can still capture the image, the images come to me so I can edit them. And the plus side is you can have content from anywhere. You don't have to worry about even if you're on vacation, and you decide you want photos, you don't have to worry about finding a photographer because you literally have one in your pocket. And the but the downside to it is if you're looking for images that are going to be on a billboard, or on the cover of a book, or any of those those types of things, this wouldn't be the right platform for that only because it the capture isn't large enough for that. But for social media, or any kind of you can even put them on a website if you needed to, or something like that. But definitely for social media, it's perfect. And a lot of people that's the content that they need. They need to to keep generating. And this way, you don't have to rely on selfies, because I got you.   Michael Hingson  36:39 How does it? Well, that's, that's fair, I think to ask how does that work as opposed to a selfie? What? What's the difference?   Marlana Semenza  36:47 Um, I'm actually doing the photo. So I'm still taking the shot. So all's they have to do is if they, you can do it one of two ways. You can either put your phone on a tripod, you can prop it up on something I've had people stick it in their shoe, if they're out on a beach. And this way, I can just direct and shoot.   Michael Hingson  37:13 So when you get the shot you want you take it. Exactly, exactly. So as long as people have a good phone connection or a good internet connection,   Marlana Semenza  37:22 it it helps to have to be connected to Wi Fi. But you do not have to be you do not have to be when the images download, I kind of need you to be on Wi Fi. But but you don't necessarily have to be for me to take them.   Michael Hingson  37:38 So what kinds of environments or scenes have you taken pictures in using this app? So I've done some interesting things.   Marlana Semenza  37:48 I've done photos for a couple on a beach in Kennebunkport, I've done photos for a woman who is a business coach at her home in Mexico, I've done some photos at a NASCAR event, a realtor out in California. So it's, it can be anywhere, it really can.   Michael Hingson  38:10 Do you find it more difficult in any way to if you will take the picture remotely in terms of setting the scene getting things the way you want, then if you were actually there,   Marlana Semenza  38:23 what becomes more difficult is you have to be more than the photographer, you have to be very clear about direction. And because I have to kind of teach the person on the other end to be me, as well as be in the scene. So what has been helpful too is if I can get somebody on their end, that becomes what are referred to as the voice activated tripod, which all they do is hold the phone and they go up down left, right if I ask them to. And that just makes things go faster. But the app allows me to depending on the make and model of your phone to zoom in and out and really utilize the different features of your camera, which makes it fun.   Michael Hingson  39:11 And you do all that part of it. I do? Yes. Because you can control that from the app.   Marlana Semenza  39:16 What's that called? It's called shutter app.   Michael Hingson  39:20 And the whole idea is using the app that someone else actually takes the picture and becomes the photographer and the the active person and setting up the shot. Yeah. And then the person who has the phone is, is well are rather the person whose phone it is that you put the app on who you want to take a picture of is is still the subject but you get to still do the active things that you want to do to set.   Marlana Semenza  39:47 Exactly, exactly. And you know, there are things that it helps to have a professional do even even in a case like that because when it comes to posing and things like that. I know how to pose you, I know how to pose you quickly. I know how, you know if, and one of the things I usually ask women especially is, are there any areas of your body that you want to highlight or hide? And if, if they say, you know, well, yeah, I want to look thinner, which seems to be an ongoing thing. There are poses just little tweaks in your body that I can make, that will make you look better on camera,   Michael Hingson  40:31 is that more in adjustments that you make, or how you position the camera, or what   Marlana Semenza  40:37 it depends in, in real life, or in face to face, some of it is positioning, some of it is lens choice, stuff like that, when it comes to the phone, some of it is zooming in and out with the lens if I had that ability, but a lot of it too, is just making tweaks and of how to position your body   Michael Hingson  41:02 with a camera. photographers taking pictures have the opportunity to put different lenses on depending on what they want to do. Is any of that available for phones where you can depend on   Marlana Semenza  41:15 the model? Well, it depends on the model of your phone, too. I haven't had anyone that has any external lenses, or any of that kind of thing that they can hook onto there. But for example, the iPhone does give you the opportunity to go wide angle, and to zoom in and things like that. So it really just depends on the make and model of your phone. What's available to me.   Michael Hingson  41:39 But there aren't additional hardware options that you can can add or have to It's my   Marlana Semenza  41:44 it's my understanding, I think there are attachments that you can get for the phone. But I'm, I'm uncertain as to what all those are. Because most of the time I'm hauling around a mirrorless full frame camera. So right, yeah.   Michael Hingson  42:06 Well, what is next for you. So you've, you have made changes in what you do with COVID. And you use shutter app and you're able to do a lot via the phone now. What's next,   Marlana Semenza  42:19 I just want to continue to work with people and make them stand out and shine. That's what makes me happy. I don't like to be the it's never about me. It's always about the people that I'm working with. And I just want to see them succeed. And I want to see them be everything that they want to be and dream about being. And so if I can help them get there, then that makes me very happy.   Michael Hingson  42:44 Which also is part of the whole trust thing. Because if you can get people to understand this is an ego for you. But that you love doing what you do, and it's all about doing the best thing for them. That's gotta   Marlana Semenza  42:58 help. Yeah, yeah, it's never about me, which is cool.   Michael Hingson  43:02 What made you end up in Raleigh from being in Connecticut? Well,   Marlana Semenza  43:07 from growing up in Connecticut, the year before we moved, I have photos of my husband out shoveling the snow that was waist deep. And I had enough. I had had enough of that. You know, when winter strikes when you're up in New England, you know that you're gonna buckle up and you're in for about six months and misery. And so I wanted a more temperate climate. My grandmother had been out in the Arizona area. And that wasn't really my thing. I really liked the East Coast. So he started applying for jobs. He got a job down here. And that was the end of that. What does he do? He's in sales.   Michael Hingson  43:55 So what kind of interesting shots well, so let me do this first. Have you had much snow in Raleigh, then do you get snow there?   Marlana Semenza  44:03 We get snow. It's not a whole lot of snow, at least not since I've lived here. And it's funny because it does turn to ice very quickly. But for the most part, when we get snow, it's gone in a day, maybe two days. I remember the first time that we had just bought our house. And it snowed, maybe about three inches, and for lack of something to do my husband and I were out with a dirt shovel shoveling the driveway. And my neighbor came out and she stroked my arm and she said we just let that melt here.   Michael Hingson  44:37 And you kind of had this epiphany.   Marlana Semenza  44:39 Yeah, but it's nice because it's pretty. And it stays pretty. Because it never gets to be that.   Michael Hingson  44:48 Frozen that   Marlana Semenza  44:49 exactly and that that brown and you know, gray snow that has all the salt in it and things like that. It just doesn't get to that point.   Michael Hingson  44:58 Right which is pretty cool. All, huh? Have you had any interesting pictures or shots around North Carolina,   Marlana Semenza  45:06 I have actually, I just, I had been wanting to use this one location. And I'm still searching for locations here. Because I, I feel like there's so much and so much that I don't know about. And I also love taking photos, and doing kind of like a juxtaposition of something beautiful in the middle of chaos or things like that. So for example, there was a shot that I did for a dress designer a few years back. And the way the dress was, it was this denim dress. But I felt like it needed to be shot in just a warehouse or something like that. Well, instead, we wound up going to a scrap metal yard. And we had the best time got some amazing images of distress in the scrap metal yard. And just about a week or so ago, there's an location that I'd been wanting to use for years. And it's the remains of an old hospital. And it's fenced in, and it's on the campus of St. Augustine University in Raleigh. And fortunately, because my relationship with the Miss North Carolina organization, I was going to photograph Miss North Carolina and and I said, How about that, and they called and made it happen. And it was, it was the most amazing place. But I love things like that, just these gems of places. And that's why I like to shoot on location.   Michael Hingson  46:39 What's the most interesting or unique location where you ever done a shot?   Marlana Semenza  46:44 I didn't know that scrap metal yard was pretty, pretty interesting. The interesting it was because when we first got there, the gentleman that owned the property, we got the the lowdown on we'll stay at that area over there, because that's where the rats are and, and don't go over here and and like I said, I'm not, I'm not a critter kind of girl, I don't like critters. So that was an eye opener for me. But they were so lovely. And so wonderful. And by about halfway through the session, the manager came out and he's like, do you want us to move anything around for you or help you out with anything? And they were they were fantastic. They're fantastic to work with?   Michael Hingson  47:25 Is there any place that's kind of on your bucket list that you want to do a shoot that you no matter can think of?   Marlana Semenza  47:34 I don't know. Um, a lot of them as I find them, I'm, I'm slowly being able to check them off. I also came out of wedding retirement a few years back to do a wedding over at the Biltmore, which was pretty amazing to that. That's quite a place.   Michael Hingson  47:55 Well, if people want to learn more about you and reach out to you, whether it's to see if you're a good fit, or just learn about what you do, how do they do that?   Marlana Semenza  48:05 The best thing is to just go to my website, which is Marlenasemenza.com.   Michael Hingson  48:09 Can you spell it please,   Marlana Semenza  48:10 it's M a, r l a n a.

Vi is back from Portland and ready to take your calls. This has been a terrible week so we can either go "more terrible" or "less terrible." It's up to you and the kind of conversations you bring to the table. Talk to us at 585-526-8774 or tiny.cc/callSG.___________________TIME STAMPS & CALL NOTES 00:00 - Intro - Vi is Back from Portland! 03:58 - Defending the Problem of Evil - Javier (he/him) - SC21:07 - What is A Woman? - Chelsey (she/her) - NC 29:47 - Becoming A Pagan… Help! - Sakura (she/they) - NY 47:44 - Teaching Children About the Crucifixion of Jesus - Chris (he/him) - SCT58:26 - A Silver Bullet for Deconverting Christians? - Kay (he/him) - N/A 1:16:23 - How To Keep Allies Around? - Philip (he/him) - OK 1:30:24 - Superchats03:58Defending the Problem of Evil - Javier (he/him) - SC Can this caller refute the problem of evil and defend God? Specifically, does appealing the “the greater good” make sense of the suffering in the world? Vi and Eric don't think so, and list out the many reasons that train of logic is not compelling. 21:07What Is A Woman? - Chesley (she/her) - NC Have Vi and Eric watched the Matt Walsh “documentary” about trans issues? What are their thoughts on the tactics Matt used to try and play “gotcha”... was it honest? Was it at least effective? The answer to all of that, and to Matt Walsh in general, is no. 29:47Becoming A Pagan… Help! - Sakura (she/they) - NY What happens when a scientist becomes a pagan? How should this caller navigate through a change in worldview while honoring their understanding of the scientific method? Can it even be done? Vi has some thoughts to share on this subject… 47:44 Teaching Children About the Crucifixion Of Jesus - Chris (he/him) - SCTIs teaching kids about the crucifixion (and everything that led up to it) immoral? Vi says their main problem is with hypocrisy: why is torutre OK to teach to children but not things like sexual orientation or gender identity? Eric, meanwhile, has stronger words for what happens during indoctrination: namely, it's abuse. 58:26A Silver Bullet for Deconverting Christians? - Kay (he/him) - N/A Kay calls back this week to discuss a silver bullet for “defanging” religion by turning theists into deists. The hosts are skeptical about how useful such a method would be. It becomes clear that while they agree on many things, Kay isn't taking the indoctrination factor into consideration, which will make things much more difficult. 1:16:23How To Keep Allies Around? - Philip (he/him) - OKThis caller has some thoughts about what was said on the show last week regarding whether cis men should be discussing the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade. Don't we need the voices of the ones in power to actually get anywhere? Eric explains his reasoning: it's important to avoid speaking over others. Meanwhile Vi asks an important question: “Who are we speaking to?” ___________________Skeptic Generation is LIVE every Sunday at 11:30am-1:00pm CTCall on your phone: 585-LA-MURPH (585-526-8774) Call online: https://tiny.cc/callSG Love the show?

Follow the bouncing ball!    After an unexpected two week hiatus, Kyla & Chelsey are back and per usual, they've got a lot to say.   As the girls talk goal setting and walk through their own processes when it comes to goal setting, they talk about different goals they have for the year, how they plan to get there and discuss some different goal setting strategies you can implement yourself!   Chesley shares a strategy she likes to implement when setting goals of her own and how you can decide if your goal is a "good" goal and that's by determining whether or not it's a SMART goal. What does that mean? A SMART goal is a goal that is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound.   Goal setting helps motivate you to turn your vision of this future into your reality.   The girls discuss how setting goals helps trigger new behavior to help guide your focus and maintain your momentum.   If you have followed along with this week's episode, please leave us a written review. We love to engage with our listeners so if you're not already following both Kyla ( @kylagrass_ ) and Chelsey ( @chelseyyy_n ) on Instagram, go give them both a follow and say hello!    Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for being on this journey along with us
