Curtis L. Harnagel is a creative polymath - a director, consultant, and producer whose career moves fluidly between live entertainment, multimedia, dance, art, and nonprofit worlds. A true pop-culture savant, Curtis carries decades of music knowledge, behind-the-scenes reasoning, and pedagogical wisdom from his perspective that apply across every industry. I first met Curtis on-site at a stunning fashion show fundraiser. I was hired as the shows Live-DJ while Curtis was the shows Music and Staging Director. After a few days of working with Curtis, I knew this was someone who sees a room from different angles. I asked him to join our collection of outlier teachers here on The Junkyard Love Podcast, we had nothing short of an excellent conversation.Armed with a degree in Radio, Television, and Film, Curtis's path has been a mosaic of lighting grand productions like Phantom of the Opera, sculpting award-winning dance performances, staging massive live events, and mentoring creative teams to greatness. He coined GESAMTCURTISWERK (“Total Work of Curtis”) to describe his craft. It's a philosophy that threads art, logistics, and human connection into something greater than the sum of its parts - a way of thinking that refuses to split art from logistics, communication from creation, or teaching from doing; it's all one interconnected, ever-evolving work: Curtis lives it. To top it off, his tagline? - "Turning Dreams Into Entertainment."In this episode, Curtis and I pull back the curtain on what it takes to knead, bake, and present large-scale creative projects with a true human touch. We talk about perception, the unspoken layers of communication, and how one thoughtful phrase can redirect an entire production. Curtis shares stories from the unpredictable trenches of live events - moments of tension, flashes of brilliance, and hail-mary's that knealed to the 'The show must go on'.We unravel wisdom passed down from influential teachers, explore the psychology of feedback and leadership, and examine how different minds approach creativity and problem-solving. We talk about the invisible threads that hold collaboration together, and how communication and listening can shape art, teams, and even lives.“GESAMTCURTISWERK [guh-zahmt-kur-tis-verk] noun, German. 1. "Total Work of Curtis" A. Gesamt - adj; total, overall (German) B. Curtis - noun; English proper name of Anglo-Norman origin derived from the word courteous. C. Werk - verb; to work (German) 2. Derived from: Gesamtkunstwerk [guh-zahmt-koo nst-verk] noun, German A. German for "Total Work of Art" or "Synthesis of the Arts “Resources / Links:Website: www.gesamtcurtiswerk.comInstagram: @gesamtcurtiswerkYouTube: GESAMTCURTISWERKBold Journey Interview - https://boldjourney.com/meet-curtis-l-harnagel/Voyage Dallas Interview - https://voyagedallas.com/interview/conversations-with-curtis-l-harnagel/Canvas Rebel Interview - https://canvasrebel.com/meet-curtis-l-harnagel/DIFFA - 2025 theme trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gugNT39gHjwDIFFA website: https://www.diffadallas.org/hodDIFFA Instagram: @diffadallastxCheckout Curtis's official music playlist for Ep: 0116 Junkyard Love: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/06CsHwodO7jxWav75ieiX6?si=BI8KIR9qR5SbSsxODd3eeg&pi=lUYZBKGITUmCjQuotes:“Listening is the cornerstone of communication.

Commuters on Cleveland's West Side had better have a mug of patience in the cupholder beside them: A $173 million dollar construction project starts Aug. 4 and will impact traffic on Interstate 90 through October of 2028. Earlier this week on that stretch of highway, commuters may have needed a pontoon. I-90 in Lakewood and Rocky River was under water after a deluge. The construction project aims to fix the flooding. We will begin Friday's “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable” discussing the I-90 project.

The Gateway Program is a $16 billion project to build new tunnels under the Hudson River to improve service for Amtrak and NJ Transit trains. But as the project prepares to break ground, they have uncovered some mysterious — and some historically illuminating — obstacles, including a totally unaccounted for staircase to nowhere, pig bones from the Meatpacking District's meatpacking days, and a bevy of wires, cables, and other infrastructure dreamed up by the engineers of yesteryear. Stephen Nessen, transit reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, talks about the discoveries, and how Gateway crews will have to work around these buried treasures from the past.

In this episode, brought to you by Lawyers Weekly's sister brand, HR Leader, we explore the need for business leaders and workplaces to “earn the commute” of their staff members returning to the office, including by way of imbibing a common purpose of the broader approach. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Canon Oceania director of people and finance David Field, who also serves as the company's chief legal counsel, to discuss his remit at Canon, how he has found the transition from technical legal specialist to having a bigger picture focus on business, whether businesses are getting it right in bringing staff back to the office, and navigating the disconnect that may exist between generations in the workforce. Field also discusses the questions that businesses need to be asking of themselves when wanting to bring staff back into the office, how he and Canon have looked to answer those questions, the place for trial and error, fostering team collegiality, strengthening common purpose through team building and community involvement, working for the greater good, and the steps that must be taken.

In this episode, we listen as Nate opens with a deeply human inquiry:What can I do to feel more regulated, more considerate, and less internally violent while driving?What unfolds is a rich exploration of road rage, internalized judgment, overstimulation, and the longing for care in a world that often feels aggressively indifferent. The conversation weaves together Nonviolent Communication, inner child work, trauma-informed insight, and the power of spiritual reframing.Takeaways:Driving can surface deep, unconscious wounds about safety, visibility, and being cared for.There's a difference between coping with a dysregulating world and designing a life that actually supports you.The wish to be “unaffected” is often a defensive maneuver to avoid overwhelm or pain,but true regulation requires learning how to metabolize life, not numb to it.“Right and wrong” can become tyrannical ideas when inherited from domination systems. Replacing them with “what meets needs” offers deeper integrity.Empathy begins by reclaiming your relationship with your own interior world.Everything (yes, even rush hour) can become a spiritual dojo.Join me this summer for my Holding Hope and Truth Over Comfort Mini-Workshops.

“I grew up with puppetry and voices and weird little characters. I never really let that go — I just found ways to turn it into a life.” - Nate Begle In this episode, we're joined by Nate - He's a voice actor and puppeteer with over two decades of experience in storytelling across stage, screen, and sound. His career has spanned live theme park shows, national commercials, animation, and narration work for over 30 audiobooks. Nate has collaborated with major creative institutions, including James Patterson, The Jim Henson Company, Walt Disney Entertainment, and Sesame Street. Deeply rooted in performance, character work, and voice, Nate brings a grounded and authentic presence to everything he creates. He allows the characters, not the performer, to take center stage.Nate and I nestle in for a tender, playful, and witty conversation about a life built around performance. We talk discovering creative purpose early, navigating years of invisible work, and learning how to keep showing up for the craft even when no one is watching.We talk about his roots in Midwest community theater, how Fraggle Rock cracked open a lifelong fascination with puppetry, and the reality of building a career from bits and odd jobs to full-time creative expression. Along the way, we dive into themes like staying grounded while performing, the therapeutic power of play, self-belief in the face of doubt, and the surprising joy of working just off-camera.From humor and nostalgia to identity and intention, this conversation brings small insights that build into something honest, warm, and very real.More notable quotes from the episode:- “A lot of people think voiceover is just ‘talking,' but it's not. It's acting. It's truth-telling. It's intention.”- “It's like, if you see something that's not available where you're at - then make it.”- “There's a moment where you stop trying to get it perfect and start asking if it feels true. That's when you know you're doing the work.”For more on Nate Begle, head over to his IMDB here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4662429/Checkout Nates website here: https://www.natebegle.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@NateBegleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nate-begle-785155bb/Hit subscribe, we'll see ya next episode.

Welcome to another engaging episode of GenXtra Podcast! We delve into a curious commuting trend dubbed "raw dogging", where GenZ chooses technology-free yet intense commuting experiences that have stirred quite the reaction. Moving to riveting tales of survival, we recount the miraculous survival story of passengers crash landing in alligator-infested waters and the unforeseen challenges faced by tourists during the infamous "poop cruise" disaster. From unexpected difficulties to corporate compensations, these stories promise a whirlwind of emotions. On a lighter note, we dive into the diverse cinematic journey of Jim Carrey, celebrating his most iconic roles like Ace Ventura while also discussing some films that didn't quite hit the mark for everyone, such as "The Mask." Join the fun-filled nostalgia ride as we reminisce about classic movies and prepare for another week of intriguing stories and candid conversations.
