Steve Sims was an entrepreneur, speaker, author, and founder of the luxury concierge company Bluefish, a business that became famous for creating extraordinary experiences for some of the world's wealthiest and most influential people. Dubbed "The Real-Life Wizard of Oz" by Forbes, Steve built a career around making the impossible possible—from arranging private dinners beneath historic landmarks to creating James Bond-style adventures for clients. In this heartfelt episode, Travis reflects on Steve's legacy following his recent passing and shares some of the most impactful lessons he learned from their friendship and conversations over the years. On this episode we talk about: Why pursuing "stupid" goals can unlock extraordinary opportunities The connection between passion, authenticity, and personal magnetism The importance of solitude and self-reflection for entrepreneurs Building genuine relationships instead of transactional connections Why criticism and ridicule are often signs you're heading in the right direction Top 3 Takeaways Big, seemingly unrealistic goals force you to think differently and create opportunities that smaller goals never will. Sometimes the fastest path to growth is aiming for something that sounds impossible. When you're genuinely energized by your work, people notice. Passion isn't just fulfilling—it's magnetic and can attract the right clients, partners, and opportunities. The strongest relationships are built on mutual value, trust, and long-term investment. Connections may open doors, but real relationships create lasting impact. Notable Quotes "Stupid goals are the strategy." "When you love what you're doing, you're more magnetic." "They'll always laugh at you just before they applaud." A Word from Our Sponsors: Today's episode is brought to you by our incredible sponsors.

Earlier this month, the New York Times and its music critics caused a bit of a dustup with its "30 Greatest Living American Songwriters" list. Tough assignment — and no list like that is going to make everyone happy. But the real drama happened in the responses: how the critics responded to criticism, and arguments for who should have been on that list. Musicians and writers — including Rick Beato, Ted Gioa, and Brad Meldau — jumped into the fray with their thoughts not just on the choices, but on how those choices are made (Did Billy Joel belong on the list? Or at least deserve a little more respect from the critics?). This hour, guest host Mona Seghatoleslami and local music experts talk about the art and the craft of songwriting. In studio: Dave Chisholm, comic artist, writer and musician Anna Reguero, Ph.D., arts journalist, music scholar, and founding editor of Rochester Overture Rissa the Righter, musician and songwriter ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

Before they become butterflies or moths, caterpillars play a critical role in supporting biodiversity within our ecosystem. These creatures are a food source for birds and other insects; they support pollination; and their waste nourishes the soil. The importance of caterpillars is captured in Jeff McKay's documentary film, “The Extraordinary Caterpillar.” The Broccolo B-Friendly Farm and Gardens in Fairport will be hosting a special screening June 29. Guest host Racquel Stephen discusses the film with a panel of enthusiasts and explores the hidden world of these small herbivores.Our guests: Laurie Broccolo, owner of B-Friendly Farm and Gardens at Broccolo Kevin Farrell, senior director of conservation for Genesee Land Trust Kyra Stephenson, founder of Nature Mind Solutions, nature-based learning coach for the Rochester City School District, and soon-to-be director of Helmer Nature Center with the West Irondequoit School District ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

David and Sissy explore the unique role fathers play in helping daughters develop confidence, resilience, and capability. Through personal stories, research, and counseling insights, they discuss how dads build capability by spending time with their daughters, teaching practical skills, staying emotionally engaged, and continuing to pursue connection even during the challenging adolescent years. They also address common pitfalls, such as aligning with daughters against moms or withdrawing when daughters seem distant, and offer practical ways fathers can strengthen connection through shared experiences, curiosity, encouragement, and consistent presence.

Childcare is not a personal problem. It is an economic one, and the system built to support it is underfunded, understaffed, and breaking down.On She Built It®, Jennifer Cowan, CEO of Connections for Children, a $30 million nonprofit serving the West Side and South Bay of Los Angeles, shares what it actually takes to lead a mission-driven organization through a pandemic, wildfires, a headquarters move, and a national childcare workforce crisis, all while continuing to grow. Jennifer talks about how she turns big ideas into scalable systems, what it takes to align public, private, and community stakeholders around a common goal, and why resiliency and flexibility are the most critical leadership skills in the nonprofit sector today. She also speaks to the founding of New York City's first Expanded Learning Time model (now replicated nationally) and what leaders need to understand about building something designed to scale.This is a conversation about systems, leadership, and what it looks like to keep showing up for families when everything around you is changing.Connect with us:Connections for Children WebsiteConnections for Children LinkedInConnections for Children InstagramConnections for Children FacebookJennifer Cowan LinkedInWork with She Built It® Media She Built It® Instagram She Built It® CEO, Melanie Barr InstagramMelanie Barr LinkedInShe Built It® LinkedIn
Shootings in Rochester have dropped significantly in recent years. According to reportingfrom WXXI's Gino Fanelli, in the first six months of this year, there were 43 shootings in Rochester. That's a precipitous drop from a pandemic era peak. Yet, the number of guns collected annually has remained relatively stable. An increasing number of illegal guns are being traced to New York dealers, but the data shows the majority are still coming from out of state. Gino guest hosts "Connections" this hour. He and his guests discuss the state of gun violence in Rochester, what we need to know about the sources of illegal guns, and what's being done to address the issues.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the biggest threat to your medical practice isn't declining reimbursement, staffing shortages, rising expenses, or even physician burnout?What if it's the culture you've unintentionally created?That may sound dramatic, but after working with hundreds of physician practices across the country, I've seen something over and over again. Practices spend enormous amounts of time worrying about external threats while overlooking the internal dynamics that are quietly draining productivity, increasing turnover, damaging morale, and ultimately affecting patient care.Every day, medical practices lose talented employees, valuable revenue, and patient trust because teams spend more time assigning blame than solving problems.And here's the difficult truth. Most toxic workplace cultures don't begin with bad people. They begin with good people operating inside broken systems.Today we're going to talk about why blame culture develops in healthcare organizations, the hidden costs that most leaders never calculate, how the infamous front-office-versus-back-office battle hurts everyone involved, and most importantly, how you can transform your practice into a culture built on accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Adrian Wooldridge revisits the historical origins of hierarchy, noting that for most of human history, family connections and dynasties were the organizing principles of society. The concept of the Great Chain of Being suggested that everyone had a divinely ordained place, a notion reflected in the works of Shakespeare. This system placed biological entities, like kings, at the center of social order, making society vulnerable to their personal frailties and the difficulties of reproduction. Walter Bagehot eventually argued that while the monarchy provided "due deference," the real power should reside with clever cabinet members. 61772

Story Transcript:Hu: A Budapest Tudományos Múzeum zsongott a nyári turistáktól.En: The Budapest Tudományos Múzeum buzzed with summer tourists.Hu: A hűvös, klímával ellátott termek hosszú sora kínálta magát.En: A long line of cool, air-conditioned rooms presented themselves.Hu: Az interaktív kiállítások között volt a csillagászat részlege is, ami sejtelmes, tompított fénnyel fogadta a látogatókat, hogy a galaxisok és csillagképek élénk kijelzői érvényesülhessenek.En: Among the interactive exhibitions was the astronomy section, which welcomed visitors with mysterious, dimmed lights so that the vivid displays of galaxies and constellations could shine through.Hu: Ez a rész népszerű menedékhely volt a kinti hőség elől, de leginkább a kíváncsiságot ébresztette.En: This section was a popular refuge from the outdoor heat, but most importantly, it sparked curiosity.Hu: Ákos, egy csillagászat iránt rajongó, kíváncsi, de introvertált fiatalember, csendben sétált a tárlók között.En: Ákos, a curious but introverted young man passionate about astronomy, quietly walked among the displays.Hu: Mindig is érezte a kapcsolat hiányát az emberekkel, de a csillagok világa mindig is közelebb hozta hozzá az univerzumot.En: He had always felt a lack of connection with people, but the world of stars always brought the universe closer to him.Hu: Ma is csak egy dolog járt a fejében – találni valakit, aki osztozik az ő szenvedélyében.En: Today, he had only one thing on his mind – to find someone who shares his passion.Hu: Egy színes galaxis képernyője előtt ácsorogva megpillantott egy lányt.En: Standing in front of a colorful galaxy screen, he noticed a girl.Hu: Emese ott állt, és bámulta az Androméda-galaxist.En: Emese stood there, staring at the Andromeda Galaxy.Hu: Lenyűgözte, hogyan jelenítheti meg a csillagok fényét a saját műveiben.En: She was fascinated by how she could depict the light of stars in her own works.Hu: Emese, akinek színes egyénisége és szenvedélyes természete sokfelé elkalandozott, most úgy érezte, hogy a kozmosz mégis valami különös inspirációt kínál neki.En: With a colorful personality and a passionate nature that wandered in many directions, Emese now felt that the cosmos offered her a strange inspiration.Hu: Ákos megállt, nem tudta, megszólítsa-e.En: Ákos stopped, unsure if he should speak to her.Hu: A belső bizonytalanság sokszor megakadályozta abban, hogy kezdeményezzen.En: His inner uncertainty often prevented him from making the first move.Hu: Viszont valami azt súgta neki, hogy érdemes megpróbálni.En: Yet something whispered to him that it was worth a try.Hu: Hosszan vett egy mély levegőt, és odalépett Emeséhez.En: He took a deep breath and approached Emese.Hu: "Szerinted mi a legszebb csillagkép?En: "What do you think is the most beautiful constellation?"Hu: " – kérdezte halkan, mégis reménykedve.En: he asked softly, yet hopefully.Hu: Emese kíváncsian tekintett rá: "Talán a Hattyú.En: Emese looked at him curiously: "Perhaps Hattyú.Hu: Gyönyörű és különleges.En: It's beautiful and special.Hu: És neked?En: And for you?"Hu: "Ákos szeme felcsillant: "A Fiastyúk.En: Ákos's eyes lit up: "Fiastyúk.Hu: Mindig is szerettem, hogyan ragyog az égen.En: I've always loved how it shines in the sky."Hu: "Beszélgetésük egyre mélyült, mint a csillagokkal teli galaxis.En: Their conversation deepened like a galaxy filled with stars.Hu: Észrevétlenül rátértek az Androméda-galaxisra, ráébredve, hogy mindketten mennyire vonzódnak hozzá.En: They seamlessly transitioned to the Andromeda Galaxy, realizing how both were drawn to it.Hu: Ahogy szavak mögött egy közös világ kezdett kibontakozni, egyértelművé vált, hogy valami különleges dolog alakul közöttük.En: As a shared world began to unfold behind their words, it became clear that something special was developing between them.Hu: A múzeumból kifele menet Ákos és Emese megbeszélték, hogy legközelebb a csillagok alatt folytatják találkozójukat.En: As they left the museum, Ákos and Emese agreed to continue their meeting under the stars next time.Hu: Egy budapesti obszervatóriumban akarták folytatni a beszélgetést a csillagok és a művészetek világáról.En: They wanted to carry on their conversation about the worlds of stars and arts at a Budapest observatory.Hu: Ákos úgy érezte, megtalálta azt a személyt, aki osztozik az álmaiban, Emese pedig inspirációra lelt a csillagokkal kapcsolatos megértés mélységében.En: Ákos felt he had found the person who shared his dreams, while Emese found inspiration in the depth of understanding related to stars.Hu: Most mindketten tudták, hogy az ő univerzumuk tágasabb lett.En: Now both knew that their universe had expanded.Hu: Ákos többé nem érzett távolságot másoktól, Emese pedig barátot és múzsát talált a csillagok között.En: Ákos no longer felt distant from others, and Emese had found a friend and muse among the stars.Hu: A csillagok tehát nem csak elérhetetlen pontok voltak az égen, hanem hidak is, amelyek összehozzák az embereket.En: Thus, the stars were not just unreachable points in the sky, but bridges that bring people together.

Theresa Benvenuto: Fathers, Legacy, and Living Your Purpose This special Father's Day edition of the Stay On Course Podcast brings together two women bonded through loss, faith, and a shared belief in purpose-driven living. Theresa and Julie each lost their fathers ten years ago. Together they explore what it means to grieve authentically, honor a legacy, and carry forward the lessons their fathers instilled in them. ️ About Theresa Benvenuto Theresa Benvenuto is the Doctor of Connections, with a remarkable gift for building meaningful relationships and helping others discover where their strengths, purpose, and people truly align. She brings her expertise in connection alongside her story of loss and legacy to this conversation. Fun Fact: Theresa's favorite dish is eggplant parmesan made the traditional way, with flour so the eggplant melts on the tongue. Her late mother-in-law made the best version she has ever tasted. What You Will Hear in This Episode Grief Has No Rules There is no timeline for loss. Julie shares how grief broke through at a Trader Joe's checkout just two days after losing her father. Theresa reflects on how it still arrives unexpectedly a decade later. Authentic grieving means following your own path, not someone else's timeline. The Gifts Our Fathers Left Behind Julie grieved her father by completing his life story and turning it into a book. Theresa is still sorting through her late father's baseball card collection, discovering handwritten letters he wrote to Brooklyn Dodgers legends. Both describe these inheritances as gifts that keep on giving. Our Fathers as Cheerleaders Julie's father became her greatest supporter after retirement, calling daily and cheering her on. Theresa's father attended her doctoral graduation just five months before he passed. Both speak to the irreplaceable loss of the person who believed in you without condition. Purpose, Legacy, and Letting Children Be Themselves A candid conversation about pursuing your true calling without waiting for approval. Julie reflects on wanting to sing, write, and build a business while those closest to her waited to believe it until they saw it done. People living in regret often blame others for things they never gave themselves permission to do. Signs from the Other Side Cardinals in the backyard. Roma tomatoes in impossible places. Both Julie and Theresa share the comfort of believing their fathers are still sending signs and cheering them on from heaven. Key Takeaways Grieve authentically on your own terms Look for the legacy your loved ones left behind Your purpose is yours alone to pursue Do the thing, even without approval Our fathers went first so we would believe anything is possible Special Note: Theresa's daughter begins medical school in July and runs the New York City Marathon in November to raise funds for the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. If your father is still here, cherish every moment. If he is gone, trust he is still guiding you. Follow your purpose and do the thing he believed you could do. https://stacklist.app/julieriga #FathersDay #Legacy #PurposeDriven #StayOnCourse #GriefAndGrowth Subscribe to Stay On Course wherever you listen to podcasts.

An award-winning teacher and researcher, Noah is an expert in organisational dynamics, leadership, and culture, focusing on the informal networks of communication and connection that drive organisational life. Noah's work has garnered him recognition on the Thinkers 50 Radar list and has been covered by various publications, including the BBC, The Economist, Rolling Stone, NPR, Vox, and Forbes. He lives with his family in Southern California. Orchestrating Connections In this episode, David Homan and Noah Askin talk about their book, Orchestrating Connections. The authors believe that meaningful relationships emerge when people are connected through shared values rather than credentials, status, or transactional goals. They propose five principles, namely curiosity, diversity, vulnerability, generosity, and gratitude, that lead to transformative communities. Noah Askin approaches relationships through sociology and network science. While many people study the structure of networks, his interest was in what actually creates meaningful connections. As David was already running a community, Noah started interviewing members to get a sense of the on-the-ground reality of connections. He realised that many of the most connected individuals identified as introverts rather than extroverts, and traced their empathy to formative challenges earlier in life. These findings challenged conventional assumptions about networking, leading the authors to distinguish between “networking for personal success” and “community building to help others”. Networking is focused on personal success and exchange, while community is oriented toward support, learning, development, and collective growth. Strong communities emerge when people are guided by a clear sense of purpose and create environments where relationships become a long-term source of mutual growth rather than short-term transactions. Trust and reciprocity, rather than transactions, become the foundation. Run time – 01:17:38 mins.

What do the best teams do differently? It's a question that's at the heart of a new book by social psychologist Ron Friedman. In "Superteams," Friedman explains what the research says about the most successful teams. Spoiler alert: those teams aren't the ones that collaborate the most, get along best, or have fancy office perks. The best teams, as Friedman writes, balance collaboration with focused individual work, phase out useless meetings, and reduce burnout — all while increasing productivity. Friedman joins us for the hour to discuss what we can learn from the "Succession" writers' room, ABBA's recording studio, and the labs of Nobel Prize-winning scientists.

This kind of one-way relationship is generally between a fan and a public figure or fictional character. It's about the feeling of familiarity or even friendship we feel for a celeb without ever actually having had any direct interaction with them. Most of the time of course, said celeb doesn't even know we exist. After all, depending on their stature, they may have millions of fans, but there's only one of them!

Backrooms’ journey to the big screen — from anonymous 4chan post to viral creepypasta to mega-popular YouTube series to A24-backed box-office smash — is as unique and unexpected as the film itself. 20-year-old Kane Parsons’ liminal horror hit feels unlike everything else currently happening in the genre, which is partly what inspired us to pair it with the similarly expectation-defying 1979 cult hit Phantasm, but also makes Backrooms fascinating to discuss on its own. Which is what we do, in mostly spoiler-free terms, before shifting over to Connections to look at how Backrooms and Phantasm compare as low-budget horror phenomena that use unsettling repeating spaces, dream logic, and heroes with no sense of self-preservation to maximum effect. And if Backrooms has you craving more video-game-influenced liminal spaces, we’ve got you covered with a Your Next Picture Show recommendation for the recent Japanese horror-mystery Exit 8. Please share your thoughts about Phantasm, Backrooms, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Tiffany BusseyTitle: Director, Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (MIEC)Dr. Tiffany Bussey discusses how the Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center works to scale Black- and Brown-owned businesses, close the racial wealth gap, and intentionally connect entrepreneurs and workers to capital, contracts, and emerging industries, particularly in sustainability. Purpose of the Interview The interview serves to: Educate listeners about the systemic barriers facing Black entrepreneurs beyond access to capital. Highlight practical solutions—programs, partnerships, and ecosystems—that create real economic outcomes. Shift mindsets around entrepreneurship, risk, and opportunity, especially in underserved communities. Expose listeners to emerging, high-growth industries (e.g., sustainability, EVs, renewable energy) instead of oversaturated traditional businesses. Promote community-based economic ecosystems, particularly the collaboration between Morehouse, Goodwill, and corporate partners. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Entrepreneurship as a Tool for Closing the Wealth Gap Dr. Bussey positions entrepreneurship and business ownership as one of the most effective ways to generate long-term wealth in Black communities. The Center has supported 400+ scalable, mid-sized businesses, resulting in: 850+ jobs created $34M+ in new capital accessed $82M+ in new revenue generated Key insight: The problem isn’t a lack of capable Black businesses—it’s visibility, access, and opportunity. 2. “Access to Opportunity” Matters as Much as Capital While access to capital dominates the conversation, Dr. Bussey emphasizes access to contracts and decision-makers. MIEC programs are designed with opportunity partners (large corporations, general contractors, primes) so participants gain: Exposure to real contracts Understanding of supply chains Direct relationships with decision-makers Takeaway: Capital without revenue and customers won’t sustain a business. 3. The Three C’s of Business Growth Dr. Bussey outlines MIEC’s core framework: Capital – Funding and financial resources Connections – Two-way, relationship-based networks Contracts – Revenue-generating opportunities She stresses that connections only matter if relationships are mutual—it’s not enough to “know someone” unless they also understand your value. 4. Breaking Stereotypes About Black-Owned Businesses Dr. Bussey addresses harmful narratives around skill, readiness, and qualifications. She highlights intentional strategies to: Prepare businesses before opportunities arise Align training and recruitment with future industries Counter biases through performance, scale, and visibility Key idea: Preparation plus access dismantles bias. 5. Sustainability = One of the Largest Economic Opportunities Dr. Bussey reframes sustainability as an economic opportunity, not just an environmental issue: Electric Vehicles: ~$163B industry Green Construction: ~$324B industry Renewable Energy: ~$952B industry Sustainable Agriculture: ~$20B industry She urges listeners to stop defaulting to oversaturated businesses (e.g., nightclubs) and instead pursue industries that are expanding rapidly and globally. 6. Workforce Development + Business Development Must Align Goodwill provides free job training, certifications, and even stipends for individuals. Morehouse trains businesses that can hire those workers, creating a full economic loop. This ecosystem addresses two major barriers simultaneously: Human capital Business readiness Takeaway: Economic equity requires aligned systems, not isolated programs. 7. Entrepreneurship Is Rewarding—but Not Romantic Dr. Bussey demystifies entrepreneurship: It’s high-risk, exhausting, and statistically likely to fail early. Failure is part of the process, but historical and financial realities make risk harder for Black entrepreneurs. Ownership remains critical despite these challenges. Key message: Entrepreneurship is powerful, but it must be supported intentionally. Notable Quotes “Entrepreneurship and small businesses are one of the pathways to closing the racial income inequality gap.” “We don’t just provide technical assistance for technical assistance’s sake—this is about creating real opportunity.” “Capital dominates the conversation, but contracts are equally important.” “People don’t buy products or services. They buy solutions.” “We have to stop thinking only about what we feel we have access to.” “Sustainability is not one industry—it’s multiple trillion-dollar opportunities.” “Entrepreneurship is the most rewarding and the most fatiguing thing you’ll ever do.” Overall Impact The interview functions as both a masterclass and a call to action: For entrepreneurs: Think bigger, pursue scalable industries, and prepare for opportunity. For communities: Build ecosystems, not silos. For institutions and corporations: Inclusion requires intentional design. Dr. Tiffany Bussey presents a practical, data-backed roadmap for inclusive economic development—centered on ownership, access, and readiness. #STRAW #SHMS #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not your days in A/R. Not your monthly deposits. I mean the deeper answer. What operational stories are hiding inside your numbers right now?Because most healthcare organizations still think about revenue cycle as a billing department function. Claims go out. Payments come in. Denials get worked. Aging gets reviewed. End of story.But high-performing organizations understand something very different: your revenue cycle is not just billing. It is operational intelligence. It is one of the clearest mirrors of how your organization is actually functioning.Every metric tells a story. Your denial patterns tell stories. Your charge lag tells stories. Your payer behavior tells stories. Your provider coding and undercoding variation tells stories. Your scheduling data tells stories. Even your unapplied credits and unpostables tell stories. And the organizations that thrive financially are usually the organizations that have learned how to listen carefully.So today I want to challenge you to think differently about your revenue cycle. Not as a back-office function. Not as an administrative burden. But as one of the most important diagnostic tools in your entire organization.Because here's the truth: your revenue cycle is talking to you every single day. The question is whether anyone is listening.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Microplastics are everywhere – in our water, in our food, and in our bodies. And while they are often the subject of headlines and new stories, researchers say there's still a lot to learn about how they may harm us. According to local experts, Rochester is a hot spot for the study of microplastics and health. This week, experts from across the country will be in town for a symposium exploring the latest research, challenges, and next steps for understanding how microplastics get into our environment and our bodies. Our guests preview that event and explain what we need to know about microplastics and protecting our health. In studio: Katrina Korfmacher, Ph.D., professor of environmental medicine and public health sciences at the University of Rochester and co-director of the Lake Ontario MicroPlastics Center Assemblymember Jen Lunsford, District 135 James Roussie, Ph.D., chief scientific officer and co-founder of SiMPore Christy Tyler, Ph.D., professor of environmental science in the Thomas H.

What are the some of the most culturally significant pieces of comedy in American history? A Marx Brothers film? A Carol Burnett sketch? An infamous puffy shirt? The initial question inspires further questions: what qualifies as an important reflection of our society; how well known does the material need to be; does staying power matter? From vaudeville performers to satirists like Mark Twain to sitcoms like "Seinfeld," a new book explores the way comedy shapes how we see each other as humans and as Americans. "Funny Stuff: How Comedy Shaped American History" is a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and the National Comedy Center. This hour, we discuss some of the best comedy of all time — and its impact — with center director Journey Gunderson.

They discuss how fatherhood shapes both men and children, while highlighting challenges boys face around performance, emotional expression, and isolation.
