The router is your guard! Use it! Everything you need to know about routers from Chis found here. *For middles: Build that relational connection Have conversations that assure them no matter what happens they can land softly and safely with you!  *Use parental control software on all devices (learn more about those here)  *Give them a plan for what to do if they see pornography or other problematic things in the digital space. More on that in episode 8! *For teens: Keep talking!

On this episode of Shaping Success with Wes Tankersley, Wes talks with musician Lance Ayers on his journey as a musician and his influences.Lance's musical journey started at 4 ½ years old when he told his mother he wanted to do what the Young Performers did on TV. He happened to live across the street from a piano store, and his mother arranged for him to get piano lessons.  He continued with the piano through high school while immersing himself in the different cultures of the students and different music genres. He hung out with the band geeks and learned to play all kinds of instruments. His biggest influence was his older brother who introduced him to all the greats in music such as Prince, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones.  Prince was by far the one artist that influenced Lance the most. He was fascinated by how Prince played his own instruments, mixed, and produced his own works. He admired how Prince didn't pay attention to the critics.Before his mom passed away, Lance said he was a kid that wrote songs about happy things. After his Mom died, he was angry, and it reflected in his music and lyrics. At the time of his Mom's death, Lance was in a band named Odium Nation. He sang, played the instruments, and did the arranging when recording. Record deals were coming in, and he delegated to his other band mates who refused to cooperate. Per the Illinois version of the Uniform Partnership Act, if a person is present at the inception of a band, and no contract was signed, they have a say and get a cut of the profits. Based on that, Lance decided to leave the band and form his own.Per his entertainment lawyer, since he's the one who wrote the songs, and Odium nation didn't use his songs after he left, he re released his songs under his new band The Circle View.  He found a guitar player Tom Howell, base player Chris McKenna, and Justin Shields on keyboard. Lance says he could do this solo, but he loves the idea of collaboration with other people bouncing ideas off one another.  The band has toured the US and Africa. The reception of the band has been positive, and he's excited to continue to grow the band. Follow Lance:Website: https://www.thecircleview.com Email: thecircleview@gmail.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/thecircleview TikTok: https://tiktok.com/thecircleview              Https://tiktok.com/lanceayers Instagram: https://instagram.com/thecircleview Twitter:  https://twitter.com/thecircleview Stream The Circle View on all streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.Follow Wes:Website: https://www.westankersley.com Email: wes@westankersley.comPatreon: https://Patreon.com/WesTankersley LinkedIn: https://LinkedIn.com/westankersley Facebook: https://facebook.com/westankersley                  Https://Facebook.com/successwarriorcrew Instagram; https://instagram.com/wes.tankersley Tik Tok: https://TikTok.com/wes.tankersley               Https://TikTok.com/shapingsuccess Twitter:  https://twitter.com/tankersley_wesSupport the showFor merchandise, podcast and youtube: westankersley.com Check out our sponsor The Warriors Collection for coffee, gear and more use code TANK at check out for a special Discount! https://warriorscollectionbrand.com/ Follow Shaping Success https://shapingsuccesspodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Email Wes@westankersley.com for guest ideas or to be on the show!

Episode 129 sees Chris flying solo in this conversation recorded live at the recent Once Upon A Time: A Disney Day held at the British Film Institute in London back in July, which was part of the Making Magic: 100 Years of Disney two-month season that ran throughout 2023. Discussing the Disney studio's longstanding relationship to technological innovation is returning special guest Chris McKenna, current Head of Creative Operations at the VFX studio Moving Picture Company, who featured on the earlier Dumbo (Tim Burton, 2019) episode of the podcast. In this discussion panel, Chris talks further about his work on several of Disney's “live-action” remakes, including The Jungle Book (Jon Favreau, 2016), The Lion King (Jon Favreau, 2019), Lady and the Tramp (Charlie Bean, 2019), and the recent The Little Mermaid (Rob Marshall, 2023), where he worked as Head of Layout and Animation at MPC. The duo reflect on Chris' own history and how he got involved with this latest cycle of Disney features; whether or not to use the original animated film as a reference point; and the many challenges of adapting the Mouse House's beloved animated classics for new audiences. They also field questions from those gathered together in NFT1 on everything from digital creativity; the links between realism, reception, and the potential loss of ‘magic'; and the collective labour involved in producing blockbuster computer graphics for the latest Disney's animation. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

Our children are guinea pigs in many ways. They are living a life we never lived, or at least living it in a way we never had access to because of social media and cell phones. Research is just now coming out about the impact of social media and cell phone usage on our children, especially post-pandemic, when our children were most likely on their devices more than any of us were thrilled about.  This episode is the first of a 2-part interview with Chris McKenna, of Protect Young Eyes, about the impact of social media on our children. In it, we tackle questions like: What's the updated research on how social media is affecting our kids? Specifically post-pandemic?

Welcome to the Love Where You Are podcast!  I am joined with Chris McKenna. Chris is the founder of Protect Young Eyes. Protect Young Eyes is a nonprofit that goes around the country educating schools, churches, and other nonprofits on the dangers of the digital age's impact on children. They are also a movement, aiming to empower parents that “delay is the way” and schools should be phone free zones.  Growing up was already difficult but adding social media on top of it, and it is no surprise our teens are battling insecurity, anxiety, depression, confusion, and addictions. As parents, we have to approach these delicate situations with empathy and curiosity, not criticism. It is not us versus them, it is us helping build and lift them up. Chris and I talk about ways we can do that and its never too late to get started.  Thank you for being here today. Now, let's dive into the conversation!  You can connect with Chris and Protect Your Eyes through Instagram and their website.     FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS:  *We want to train our kids to be thinkers, not followers. On social media, it's a lot of following and keeping up with the trends.  *We can try to censor the world as much as possible for our kids but it won't make a difference if they can't become filters themselves. Once they are out of our protective care, how will they protect themselves? We have to teach them why it is so important and give them the tools to do it.  *Best time to plant a tree was ten years ago. The second best time is this afternoon. If you feel like you're too late, you aren't. There is still hope and you can still take charge of your household and protect your child.  REMEMBER: *There is a difference between reacting and responding. As parents, we need to respond not react. *The teenage years of development have high levels of social sensitivity. These are also critical years for brain development that leads into their adulthood.  *We should be building bridges of trust with our kids and not shy away from the awkward conversations.    Connect with Somer!  Stay connected to Somer and the Love Where You Are podcast through her Facebook & Instagram!

Adam Shaw peeks behind the curtain of the consultancy industry. Worth hundreds of billions of pounds, consultants stretch across almost every industry, government department and international border. Since the pandemic there's been an unprecedented demand for their services and many believe our future is determined by what they think and do. Yet little is known about these largely hidden influencers. They are magnetic and mesmerizing yet, to many of us, shrouded in mystery. Adam asks who these wizards, what do they do and how much do they influence our lives. On the one hand, they're talked of as genius solvers of the world's greatest problems and masters of the machinery of management. On other, some think of them in more shadowy terms, whispering their guidance into the ears of the rich and powerful. Adam sets off with missionary zeal to detangle two very different stereotypes. Across the series he hunts for the first ever consultant, finds out how they shape our language and politics and discovers how they bounce back from appalling scandals. He joins a consultancy fair to meet aspirant consultants, hears stories from the glass towers of late nights and rewards, explores FOMO and addition, turnarounds and triumphs. In this first episode he asks what value do consultants add and why are they seemingly opaque. And he pulls out his wand and performs a rather impressive magic trick of his own. With contributions from: Tamzen Isacsson, CEO of the Management Consultancies Association, Andrew Sturdy, Professor in Management at The University of Bristol, Dr Chris McKenna, Reader in Business History and Strategy at the Said Business School, Rosie Collington, co-author of The Big Con, author Eric Edstrom and broadcaster Paddy O'Connell.
