In the first episode of Passing Notes, we sit down with Australian harpist Jessica Fotinos. Now Principal Harp with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Jessica's artistic practice has taken her across the globe, living and performing in Germany, completing residencies in Canada and France, and even joining a new orchestra in China as their first ever Principal Harpist. The episode dives into Jessica's experiences developing her craft here in Australia, her interest in contemporary music, living and working overseas, and what things have been like returning home. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Created by harpist-composer and 2026 AYO Media & Communication Fellow, Passing Notes is a podcast which aims to demystify, debunk and explore the diversity of a career in classical music performance. As young performers in Australia, there can often be the idea of a ‘right way' to go about pursing a successful career in classical performance—a formula or ‘golden path' which young musicians might feel pressure to conform to. Throughout this miniseries, we learn how in reality, no two pathways look the same. By entering the worlds of some of Australia's leading performers and artistic thinkers, we hear about what their journey has looked like navigating a career in classical performance. ----------------------------------------------------------------   Music included in this episode: “Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue” No. 7 from Mondrian Interiors by Stuart Greenbaum (2007).

Your paintings might not be boring because you lack skill. They might be boring because you're overworking them.  In this episode, Jodie dives into a totally different way of thinking about composition.

Ryan Rarick and Lauren Merkley close out this season of the Teacher Fellows Podcast by diving into the role of the Utah State Board of Education and why educator experience is vital in public leadership. Their guest is Kacee Weaver, a Teacher Fellow and veteran Weber County educator with 20 years of experience across charter, district, private, and nonprofit settings.

Trusting the Experts: The need for instruction aligned with research and student development. Removing Barriers: Addressing the unique challenges faced by economically disadvantaged and multilingual students.

Misha Glenny and his guests discuss the most famous oratorio of George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) and his librettist Charles Jennens (1700-1773). For his libretto, Jennens drew from Old and New Testament texts: prophecies about the coming of Jesus, the Messiah, the nativity, the suffering of Christ and his death and the Day of Judgement and redemption for all. Handel's Messiah had its premiere in 1742 in a secular Dublin music hall to great acclaim with a packed audience and Handel continued to adapt his Messiah for later performances, often shaping the work to the choirs or individual singers available. Messiah proved to be one of his most popular works, becoming a favourite of massed choirs around the world far beyond the scale of Handel's original.With Donald Burrows Emeritus Professor of Music at the Open UniversityRuth Smith Trustee and Council Member of the Handel InstituteAndLarry Zazzo Countertenor, and Senior Lecturer in Music at Newcastle UniversityProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Donald Burrows, Messiah (full score, 2 vols, Hallische Händel Ausgabe, forthcoming)Donald Burrows, Messiah (Edition Peters, 1987)Donald Burrows, Messiah, Cambridge Music Handbooks (Cambridge University Press, 1991)Donald Burrows, Handel: Master Musicians series, 2nd edition (Oxford University Press, 2012)George Frideric Handel (ed.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros unpack a hidden risk of personal growth: when self-belief becomes so strong that it starts to lose empathy. Kevin speaks from the memory of doubt, low belief, and rock bottom, while Alan brings the perspective of coaching, leadership, and high internal certainty.This episode challenges the way people talk about responsibility, confidence, anxiety, and skill-building when they forget what struggle feels like. It is not about lowering the standard. It is about leading with belief, precision, and enough self-awareness to meet people where they are without losing sight of where they could go. Press play, and make sure your confidence still has a conscience._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

The high road has a cost. In this episode, Kevin and Alan break down why self-respect is not built through intention, image, or outside success. It is built through follow-through, discipline, and the private choices that either strengthen or weaken your identity. This episode challenges the belief that small decisions do not matter. They do. Every broken promise, avoided standard, and shortcut leaves evidence. Over time, those choices shape your self-trust, confidence, relationships, leadership, and long-term consistency.If you are working to become more disciplined, more aligned, and more proud of who you are when no one is watching, this episode will make you look closer. The low road may be easier, but it rarely leads anywhere worth respecting. Listen now, then go make your future self slightly less annoyed with you. _______________________Join the "Next Level Fitness Accountability Group" – Reach out to Kevin or Alan on Instagram:Kevin: https://www.instagram.com/neverquitkid/Alan: https://www.instagram.com/alazaros88/Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

Tanner shares how he built his career by treating art like any other skill in the brain—showing up daily, doing master copies, and effectively creating his own “atelier” when formal schools weren't an option. He urges artists to paint what they genuinely love instead of chasing trends or specific collectors, trusting that sincere, well-crafted work will find its audience. A big part of his advice is to start paintings over and over to strengthen composition and value design, build or initiate community (from family collectors to plein air groups), and maintain multiple income streams through galleries, direct sales, teaching, and educational content. He also emphasizes persistence—reaching out repeatedly to mentors, reinventing yourself socially when needed, and committing to be “the last one standing” in the long game of artistic mastery. Finally, Tanner closes by mentioning current and upcoming projects, including his 100 Flowers Sale, a group show at Saks Galleries, an Art Renewal Center piece showing at Sotheby's, workshops in Rome through Rome Art Residencies, and a future painting workshop along the Danube River cruise.Tanner's Sale!:tannersteedart.com/collections/228563Tanner's FASO site:tannersteedart.com/Tanner's Social Media:instagram.com/tannersteedart/Tanner's YouTube:youtube.com/@tannersteedart

"The field recording and the satellite timelapse I chose speak of hydro-power, energy and discontinuity, they tell the story of a voice fragmented, amplified and impeded. There is magic and mystery in the life of these ancient water-beings. Is a river a portal? Is the myth still alive?"Artist and researcher Elizabeth Gallon Drosde introduces us to the submerged at the beginning of the composition. Rivers are story tellers, they are memory. If we deep listen, we might commune with ghosts and tune our bodies to their whispers, we might become a vibration."The sound of wind accompanying this first part and the end of the piece is played on violin by violinist Ida Di Vita (Quartetto Indaco). A long whistle, the primordial element of air swirling and hissing."Later on I join the flow and embody the river, its deep ancestral sound. My poem and my pitched voice in English are there to remind us of the history of this more-than-human being, its force and path, its hunger. "Mystery and magic, and the Lech rivers in reverse. I proceed in Italian overlapping my reversed voice. I get hungrier and hungrier and I go deeper and deeper, till pressure slows down, till noise recedes.Composition:original field recording by Riccardo Fumagalliwind sound by violinist Ida di Vita (Quartetto Indaco)intro poem 'In the interstices of river-portals' by Elizabeth Gallon DrosdeEnglish/Italian poem 'In the Arms of Weirs' by Ilaria BoffaSound effects, mixing and production by Ilaria BoffaPoem, In the Arms of Weirs'Deep-voiced white noiseprogression of pressure spinning of shhh, turmoil.It's all you can feel in the fall. It's good to be at serviceto move downwards and collectto come a long way acrossthe Pleistocene moraines the edge of Alps and gravel fieldsto accumulate in the arms of weirs.But I've seen algae disappearunder the law of no fish pass. I get hungrier and hungrierI go deeper and deeperas to search for the Styxas to swear by her water.Way less than a good mothermy spawning grounds in degradationmy current impeded, my voicebroken, a life to gauge.Flow continuity hiccups with drawn-out hisses and roarsit self-renders into a different languageit loosens and rivers in reverse.' Poem, Is a River a Portal?'Living between languages, between the here and therelearning to become fluvial,finding shores to breathe on,more than a beginning or an end.The portal, the waters, dams.To remember with water is to submerge in the threshold —this is how the river becomes a practice, a way of moving,a framework for transitionsin the interstices,Linking us to the collective,to the territories that lie beyond, deeper.Listening to the waters between the here and there,becomes a space for what resists being said,a gesture of attention,where meaning slips through,without words.Communing with the ghostsrivers always testify, are storytellersthis means tuning our bodies to their whispersa hum, a vibration, an interference.'Section of the river Lech reimagined by Ilaria Boffa. -------Flow is a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound.

What if discipline is not your real problem, and the deeper issue is that your goals are built against how you are wired?In today's episode, Kevin and Alan break down why follow-through is not one-size-fits-all. Kevin shares how a simple shift in his workout setup helped him get out of the all-or-nothing pattern. Alan explains how numbers, structure, environment, and self-awareness can create consistency when motivation is not enough.This episode challenges the generic productivity advice that tells everyone to operate the same way. Real growth starts with knowing what drives you, what drains you, and what kind of setup actually helps you take action. Stop forcing someone else's routine. Build the path that makes your next level harder to avoid._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why the goal is not to peak, but to keep becoming. They challenge the belief that age, past success, talent, or comfort should decide how much growth is still available to you.This episode looks at personal development, self-awareness, purpose, identity, fulfillment, limiting beliefs, and the standards required to build a future that is stronger than your past. Kevin and Alan make a clear distinction between being proud of what you have done and using old wins as permission to stop evolving. Press play and stop letting yesterday's wins collect interest on a life that needs new deposits._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

The line between growth and damage is thinner than most people think. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan break down how to tell whether your habits, standards, feedback, and work ethic are building real progress or quietly working against you. Drawing from bodybuilding prep, coaching clients, relationship standards, and thousands of episodes in personal development, they challenge the belief that intensity is always unhealthy and comfort is always wisdom.This episode gets into discipline, self-awareness, consistency, ego, feedback, and the skill of knowing your own threshold. It is not about doing more just to prove a point. It is about choosing the right kind of pressure, the kind that strengthens your identity, supports your goals, and matches the life you say you want. Press play before your comfort zone starts sounding like a life coach._______________________Digital Asset:Dose of Stressor - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riopxdrbRHbQcDDoku509N5Y2iidR5zC/view?usp=drive_link _______________________NLU is not just a podcast; it's a gateway to a wealth of resources designed to help you achieve your goals and dreams.

What if the thing pushing you forward is also the thing keeping you stuck?In this episode, Kevin and Alan unpack the connection between self-belief, motivation, comparison, and personal potential. They challenge the idea that every hard truth, intense standard, or motivational message works the same for every person. What builds one person may break another, and real growth starts with knowing the difference.This episode gives a sharper way to think about self-awareness, performance, identity, and long-term consistency. They explore why belief matters, why comparison must be used carefully, and why your path to the next level has to be built around what actually improves you.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explore why potential is not reached through motivation alone. It is developed through belief, self-awareness, identity, and the repeated decision to choose growth before the outcome is guaranteed. Drawing from their experiences in coaching, speaking, fitness, and daily personal development, they examine why people often confuse their current circumstances with their true capacity.This episode challenges the common idea that potential is fixed. It shows how standards, decisions, and long-term consistency shape what is possible over time.

How much lifting is too much vs. too little? What about cardio? And how hard does your body fight back when you try to out-exercise your diet?Exercise physiologist and clinical nutrition expert Ben Brown breaks down why exercise is often a weak tool for weight loss, even when you are lifting weights and doing everything “right.” We unpack metabolic compensation, how stress after 40 changes your results, and why nutrition and fitness habits like protein, recovery, and smarter programming matter more than chasing calorie burn. We also cover GLP-1s, muscle building, hormone health, and how to use cardio strategically for longevity instead of relying on it to build muscle or lose fat.Get Fitness Lab (20% off for listeners), the #1 coaching app that adapts to YOUR recovery, YOUR schedule, and YOUR body.

Episode two of One Million Neighbors brings us to the chaotic final days of Saigon in April 1975, as ten-year-old Simon Hoa-Phan watches his world unravel. From the terror of nighttime bombings to the desperate crush of families fleeing toward evacuation helicopters, Simon's story captures the fear, uncertainty, and life-altering decisions faced by thousands as South Vietnam fell. His family's escape—narrow, chaotic, and uncertain—becomes a window into a much larger phenomenon: the mass displacement of millions across Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, where war, political upheaval, and U.S. intervention forced entire populations to flee under harrowing conditions. At the same time, across the world in St. Paul, Minnesota, Kathleen Vellenga witnesses these events from a hospital bed and feels a call to act. Her personal turning point reflects a broader movement among American faith communities, who would go on to play a central role in resettling more than a million Southeast Asian refugees. This episode traces the historical roots of that movement—from Cold War politics and moral responsibility to deeply held religious convictions—and introduces the ordinary people who made extraordinary choices to welcome strangers as neighbors.
