We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2023 conversation with Robert De Leo of Stone Temple Pilots. ABOUT ROBERT DE LEORobert De Leo is best known for his work in Stone Temple Pilots. Collaborating with lyricist and vocalist Scott Weiland, Robert wrote or co-wrote the music for many of the group's classic songs, including “Plush,” “Creep,” “Wicked Garden,” “Vaseline,” “Interstate Love Song,” “Big Bang Baby,” “Down,” “Hollywood Bitch,” and “Between the Lines.” Outside of their music in Stone Temple Pilots, Robert and his brother Dean have also written and recorded songs for their band Talk Show, as well as Army of Anyone, which is a collaboration with Filter frontman Richard Patrick. Since the death of Weiland and subsequent lead singer Chester Bennington, the De Leo brothers and drummer Eric Kretz continue to make music as Stone Temple Pilots with current vocalist Jeff Gutt. At the time of our conversation, Robert had released his debut solo album, Lessons Learned, a deeply personal collection of original songs. Featuring a handful of guest singers, it's a different sound than listeners might expect from De Leo, exploring the vibes of Laurel Canyon, Americana, roots music, and a healthy dose of one of Robert's musical heroes, Glen Campbell. In this episode you'll hear a lot of great new music and gain a deeper appreciation for some of the amazing Stone Temple Pilots catalog as Robert grabs his guitar and breaks down some of those classics in mind-blowing depth. This is one of our favorite Songcraft conversations, and you definitely won't want to miss it.

In this episode, host Olivier Lafontaine sits down with Yolanda Austin, Senior Director of the Life & Annuity Program at ACORD, to talk about the organization's role in building smarter, standardized systems for life insurance. Yolanda breaks down how ACORD is addressing inefficiencies in medical underwriting by creating digital formats for electronic health records. She also walks through the work behind ACORD's standardized life insurance application, which was developed with input from distributors, carriers, and the Interstate Insurance Compact. And now, it is being adopted across the industry. As the conversation unfolds, it's clear that progress in this space doesn't come from technology alone, but through thoughtful coordination and collaboration across all parts of the ecosystem. Key Takeaways: Standardization only works when carriers, distributors, and regulators build it together. Reducing redundant and non-relevant data improves efficiency and unlocks smarter underwriting decisions. Creating digital forms that create good experiences requires both technology and behavioral science expertise.

In this very special episode of Bonfire Conversations, I finally sit down with Ludvig Forssell—composer and audio director behind Metal Gear Solid V, Death Stranding, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.We talk about his journey from Sweden to Japan, how he landed his first gig at Konami, and what it's really like collaborating with Hideo Kojima. Ludvig shares stories from behind the scenes, the emotional philosophy behind Death Stranding 2, and why AAA games may be forgetting the beauty of music.We also explore love, fear, and absurdity in our Penny for Your Thoughts segment—including what it's like to work with Norman Reedus and the moment a fishbone beach became the sound of another world.This conversation took place while I was in Iran—just weeks after the country was bombarded and cut off from the world. But against all odds, through chaos and broken signals, we made this connection happen. And maybe that's the spirit of Death Stranding too.

Even being confronted with something that is weird or uncomfortable: it's character growth. You have to ask the question: why is this person doing this weird thing? It's a good exercise in empathy, to be perfectly honest. Why is this person doing this thing? Why does that make me uncomfortable? What, what is it about my perception that has shaped this experience for me? I feel like those are really essential questions for us to be constantly asking ourselves, especially in an age where there's a lot of discord, a lot of dissent and a lot of disagreement. And the better we understand ourselves, the better we're able to engage with humans who are different than us.My conversation with Meghan Moe Beitiks, assistant professor in theatre at Concordia University in Montreal. Meghan Moe is an artist and designer working with associations and disassociations of culture, nature and structure. Our mutual friend Ian Garrett thought we might get along. We did. Our conversation focused on Meghan Moe's Angles of Consequence project, a season of site-specific performances with Canadian performers to create work with reflected sunlight in key sites of climate advocacy and destruction in Québec. Meghan Moe and I had tea in Montreal. It was a very, enlightening, conversation. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AI:Action pointsRecognize art's crucial role in processing emotions and spreading information during crises.Explore the use of reflected sunlight in art to highlight climate change issues.Support Indigenous resistance against fossil fuel expansion as an effective climate action.Consider the impact of positionality (literal and cultural) on our perspectives.Utilize resources like Canada Green Tools to calculate and reduce the carbon footprint of events.Story PreviewImagine art that dances with the sun, revealing hidden truths about our planet's climate crisis.

In this installment of minisodes, we tackle a common AAC challenge: what happens when professionals don't agree? The BCBA recommends PECS, the SLP suggests a dynamic device… Now what? Welcome to the standard trial of non-collaborative chaos.There are plenty of barriers to AAC collaboration, but also practical steps that can lead to smoother teamwork. The first is building familiarity. AAC can feel overwhelming, but taking time to learn the basics makes collaboration more effective.One key reminder: the device belongs to the student. Everyone on the team should be working toward the same goal—supporting the individual's communication needs across their lifespan.Joint assessment can help, and tools like the free ALP AAC assessment offer a shared starting point. Another useful strategy is to assign a single person to program the device. This reduces confusion and ensures consistency.Most importantly, collaboration keeps families from being caught in the middle. When professionals work together, outcomes improve—for everyone involved.#autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:10-minute summer series.Free Assessment.Collaborating every step from assessment through intervention.Mentioned In This Episode:ALP AAC Assessment AAC course bundle Speech Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

You'll hear how Tiffany is using tools like Greenlight to simulate real-world pay cycles and how she's building in monthly “money meetings” to instill habits that will serve her daughters long after they leave home.Whether you're trying to stop handing out $20s on demand, or want to set your teen up for financial success, this episode breaks it down with honesty, humor, and a whole lot of practical takeaways.What You'll Learn:How to shift from implicit expectations to explicit financial agreements with your kidsThe monthly categories Tiffany includes in her daughter's teen budgetWhen to let kids fail (on purpose) to teach real-world financial lessonsReal-Life Budgeting Tools: Use Greenlight to simulate a real paycheck cadenceSeparate “mom pays” vs. “teen pays” categories to reduce conflictTreat budgeting like a skill-building exercise, not a control mechanismRevisit and revise the budget every 90 days with your teenTimestamps:(00:00) Intro(01:06) Why financial literacy is a non-negotiable life skill(03:00) Remodeling vs. moving — the real cost of family decisions(06:15) The mailbox letter experiment and its surprising result(10:54) Building a teen budget with intention (not punishment)(13:49) Collaborating with your kids instead of controlling the process(16:04) How Tiffany mimics real pay cycles through biweekly allowance(19:36) The power of written financial agreements(21:10) What her daughter pays for — and what she doesn't(22:58) Reconciling budgets and developing spending awareness(24:31) Preparing teens for adult expenses — one category at a time(28:18) A real story about interest, cupcake sales, and a Brandy Melville skirt(33:01) Final reflections and parenting through financial personality typesCheck out the apps and sponsor of this episode:Created in partnership with Share Your GeniusDownload the Summer Sanity Toolbox: Start with priorities.
