The first year of the new Trump administration has been a chance to test a slew of economists' conventional wisdom — on tariffs, on markets, on trade alliances. Kent Gardner has been an economist for decades, and we wanted to know: has anything in the past year surprised you? Has anything caused you to reconsider a long-held belief? Vice President Vance says economists are out-of-touch eggheads. We examine that claim, too.

As our nation navigates turbulent times, what can artists do to effect change? Award-winning composer and Rochester native Adolphus Hailstork has been outspoken about this question, especially when it comes to injustices against African Americans. "These are the tragedies and triumphs of a people who have been beaten up for 400 years. Does anyone speak for them? Who writes pieces that speak for the existence of African Americans in the United States?" he asks. "I'll take on that job.'" Hailstork's work blends African, American, and European traditions. In recent years, his pieces like “A Knee on the Neck” — an oratorio in tribute to George Floyd — have made political statements. He'll be in Rochester this weekend for a choral concert in his honor, but first, he joins us on “Connections” to discuss the intersection of art and politics. This conversation is part of WXXI's celebration of Black History Month. Our guests: Adolphus Hailstork, award-winning composer Lee Wright, director of music ministry at Downtown United Presbyterian Church, and founding artistic director of First Inversion choral ensemble The selections from "A Knee on the Neck" heard in this broadcast are attributed to:Adolphus Hailstork, composerStanford Symphony Orchestra and Stanford Symphonic ChorusPaul Phillips, conductorStephen M.

#767 Want a “business development cheat code” that also builds your authority, content engine, and network at the same time? In this episode, host Brien Gearin welcomes back podcasting coach Travis Chappell for a super practical, “podcasters talking podcasting” deep dive into why entrepreneurs should consider starting a show. Travis breaks down the real benefits beyond chasing downloads — using podcasting to build competence and communication skills, generate cash through leads/sales (and eventually sponsorships), create a simple content engine, and — most importantly — build powerful connections that can unlock relationships you'd never get access to otherwise. They also dig into how to monetize early without huge audience numbers, how to avoid turning interviews into slimy sales calls, and how ridiculously easy (and affordable) it is to launch a podcast today with basic gear and AI-assisted production! What we discuss with Travis: + Who should start a podcast + Podcasting's “golden age” + The 5 C's framework + Building competence through interviews + Sharpening communication skills + Podcasting as a content engine + Monetizing without massive downloads + Sponsorships vs. products/services + Podcasts as relationship “Trojan Horses” + Avoiding slimy sales tactics Thank you, Travis!

The mother has a distinct role. What is the specific sacrifice of good mothers?Myrna Young hosts Vanessa Bennett, author of "The Motherhood Myth," to explore the myths surrounding modern motherhood. They discuss the societal pressures that lead mothers to feel trapped or inadequate, focusing on breaking away from ideals of self-sacrifice and perfectionism. Vanessa highlights how patriarchal and capitalist systems influence women's roles and emphasizes the importance of reclaiming one's identity. The episode offers insights into shifting from survival mode to a path of personal and spiritual growth in motherhood. Join the conversation to redefine what it means to be a mother today.Vanessa delves into the psychological aspects of motherhood and how the generational pendulum swings have influenced current parenting styles, particularly focusing on the intense pressure many women face to be perfect mothers. The episode also touches on the lesser-known trinity wound—the witch, the sister, and the mother wound—and how healing these wounds is crucial for rebuilding community among women. Vanessa emphasizes that motherhood can be a pathway to personal growth rather than a sentence of self-sacrifice. In this episode Myrna and Vanessa will discuss: 0:02 Reclaiming Identity and Challenging the role of Good Mothers6:25 Generational Shifts in Parenting Styles and Emotional Involvement9:55 The Impact of Societal Systems on Motherhood and Self-Worth16:42 Healing the Trinity Wound for Women's Empowerment23:07 The Emotional Challenges and Connections of Motherhood24:25 Redefining Motherhood by Balancing Self-Care and Parenting29:48 Rediscovering Identity and Balance in Motherhood35:45 The Impact of Collectivistic Cultures on Childhood Trauma39:49 Redefining Motherhood and Embracing Radical Responsibility43:28 Exploring Motherhood Myths and Support SystemsResources Mentioned:Vanessa Bennett's Website: vanessabennett.comInstagram: @vanessas.bennettBook: The Motherhood Myth Partner with the Podcast Your brand is featured through:• A CEO or expert interview that positions you as a thought leader• Host-read pre-roll and mid-roll ads woven naturally into other episodes• And long-term visibility across our full media ecosystemTo explore a brand partnership, visit myhelps.us/partner.See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

Transcript:Da: Snefnug dalede stille ned over Communal Village og dækkede landsbyen med et hvidt tæppe.En: Snefnug fell quietly over Communal Village, covering the village with a white blanket.Da: Skæret fra gadelygterne reflekterede i den nyfaldne sne, og luften var fyldt med den stille ro, som kun en snestorm kan bringe.En: The glow from the street lamps reflected in the newly fallen snow, and the air was filled with the quiet calm that only a snowstorm can bring.Da: Caféen i byens midte var som en varm lomme af lys og hygge i det ellers kolde landskab.En: The café in the middle of town was like a warm pocket of light and coziness in the otherwise cold landscape.Da: Anders sad ved sit sædvanlige bord, nær et stort vindue nu dækket af frostblomster.En: Anders sat at his usual table near a large window now covered with frost flowers.Da: Bordet var tilgroet med noter, der i hast var blevet nedkradset på papirer.En: The table was strewn with notes hastily scribbled on papers.Da: Han var en mand af få ord, en tålmodig skribent, der fandt inspiration i det rolige rum.En: He was a man of few words, a patient writer who found inspiration in the tranquil room.Da: Han værdsatte ensomheden caféen tilbød, især nu hvor snestormen havde skræmt de fleste besøgende væk.En: He appreciated the solitude the café offered, especially now when the snowstorm had scared most visitors away.Da: Freja, caféens glade barista, kiggede over den næsten tomme café.En: Freja, the café's cheerful barista, looked over the nearly empty café.Da: Hendes grønne forklæde matchede hendes livlige øjne.En: Her green apron matched her lively eyes.Da: Hun kendte Anders som en stille mand, altid fordybet i sit arbejde.En: She knew Anders as a quiet man, always engrossed in his work.Da: Alligevel kunne hun ikke lade være med at føle, at der var mere bag hans reserverede facade.En: Yet she couldn't help but feel there was more behind his reserved facade.Da: "En lille pause skader aldrig," tænkte Freja og gik hen til Anders med et smil og en friskbagt kanelsnegl.En: "A little break never hurts," thought Freja, and she walked over to Anders with a smile and a freshly baked cinnamon roll.Da: "Vil du have en?"En: "Would you like one?"Da: spurgte hun med velkendt varme i stemmen.En: she asked with familiar warmth in her voice.Da: Anders så op, lidt overrasket.En: Anders looked up, a bit surprised.Da: Han tøvede et øjeblik, før han nikkede taknemmeligt.En: He hesitated for a moment before nodding gratefully.Da: "Jo, tak," sagde han, og Freja satte sig overfor ham.En: "Yes, please," he said, and Freja sat down across from him.Da: Samtalen begyndte forsigtigt.En: The conversation began cautiously.Da: Freja spurgte om hans bøger, og Anders svarede kort, men høfligt.En: Freja asked about his books, and Anders replied briefly but politely.Da: Han ønskede egentlig kun at vende tilbage til sine noter, men der var noget ved Frejas begejstring, som gjorde ham nysgerrig.En: He really just wanted to return to his notes, but there was something about Freja's enthusiasm that made him curious.Da: Pludselig blev caféen kastet ud i mørke, kun sneens glimt udenfor gav en smule lys.En: Suddenly, the café was plunged into darkness, with only the glitter of the snow outside giving a bit of light.Da: "Åh, strømmen er gået," lo Freja og begyndte at finde lysene frem.En: "Oh, the power's out," laughed Freja, and she began to fetch the candles.Da: Anders rejste sig for at hjælpe, og snart var caféen fyldt med stearinlysets bløde skær.En: Anders stood up to help, and soon the café was filled with the soft glow of candlelight.Da: De satte sig igen, nu i dette intime lys.En: They sat again, now in this intimate light.Da: Freja fortalte om sine drømme om at eje sin egen café en dag, og Anders delte modvilligt nogle af sine historier om de personer, hans bøger handlede om.En: Freja shared her dream of owning her own café someday, and Anders, reluctantly at first, shared some of his stories about the characters in his books.Da: Han indså, at samtalen åbnede et nyt perspektiv, både for ham som person og som forfatter.En: He realized that the conversation opened a new perspective, both for him as a person and as a writer.Da: Timerne fløj forbi, og da uret nærmede sig lukketid, var de blevet venner.En: Hours flew by, and as the clock approached closing time, they had become friends.Da: "Skal jeg hjælpe med at rydde op?"En: "Should I help with the cleanup?"Da: spurgte Anders, overrasket over sig selv.En: asked Anders, surprised at himself.Da: "Meget gerne," svarede Freja med et smil, og sammen gik de i gang med at sætte caféen i stand, hver handling en lille gestus af fornyet bekendtskab.En: "Gladly," replied Freja with a smile, and together they began to tidy up the café, each action a small gesture of renewed acquaintance.Da: Da natten faldt på, og sneen endnu lagde sig tungt over landsbyen, gik Anders hjemad med en ny følelse.En: As night fell and the snow continued to lay heavily over the village, Anders went home with a new feeling.Da: Måske, tænkte han, kunne det at åbne sig for andre bringe ny liv i hans

Careers don't stall because people forget how to work hard; they stall because the room stops changing. We dig into a simple, disruptive idea: individuals matter more than institutions. When you choose who you spend time with as carefully as you choose your company, your trajectory shifts—faster ideas, bolder bets, better results.Lone Rock Leadership co-founder Russ Hill walks through two practical circles that shape outcomes. Your first-degree connections—bosses, teammates, key clients—determine your daily pace and mindset. If they're maintainers, your thinking flattens. If they're builders and developers, your courage and creativity rise. Then there's the overlooked engine: second-degree connections, the friends-of-friends who inject novelty without chaos. Most real opportunities come from this layer, and we get tactical about how to activate it: rotate rising operators into executive meetings, design invite-only dinners that cross functions and companies, and set a steady cadence of breakfasts, calls, and site visits that sharpen judgment.Ready to trade stagnation for momentum?

Networking doesn't have to feel awkward, transactional, or forced. In this episode of The Millionaire Woman Show, Debra Kasowski reframes networking as something far more powerful—building genuine connections within your community. True connection isn't about collecting business cards or pitching yourself. It's about curiosity, presence, and caring about what matters to people. When we shift from asking “What can I get?” to “How can I support?”, we create relationships that lead to meaningful growth—in business, family, and life. In this episode, Debra shares five practical strategies you can implement right away to: Build authentic, trust-based relationships Move from competition to collaboration Create stronger, more connected communities Support others while expanding your own opportunities Because each of us has goals and dreams—and when we support one another, success becomes a shared experience. Success isn't built alone—it's built together, one meaningful connection at a time. www.debrakasowski.com

Even without Al Pacino's name in its cast list, the new Dead Man's Wire would invite comparisons to Dog Day Afternoon in its dramatization of a real-life 1970s hostage situation turned public spectacle. Whether it benefits from comparisons to Sidney Lumet's 1975 crime classic is another question, one we take up in our discussion of Gus Van Sant's first new feature in eight years. After that, we bring Dog Day Afternoon back in for Connections, to consider how these two films about volatile, narcissistic men and their ostensibly populist schemes fit into the proud tradition of amateur-hour crime movies, and whether a modern film depicting Indianapolis half a century ago has any hope of evoking its setting the way Lumet captured contemporary 1970s New York. Please share your thoughts about Dog Day Afternoon, Dead Man's Wire, 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.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is once again rebuking childhood vaccine guidance issued by the federal government. On Monday, the AAP published its recommended immunization schedule. It includes vaccines for a number of illnesses that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) dropped in recent weeks — illnesses like hepatitis A and hepatitis B, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, and more. This is the second time in recent months that pediatricians are taking a stand against the CDC and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy. The group has called the federal recommendations "dangerous." This hour, we talk with local pediatrician Dr. Elizabeth Murray about what the science says and what parents and caregivers need to know. Our guests: Elizabeth Murray, D.O., pediatrician at Golisano Children's Hospital at UR Medicine Geoffrey A. Weinberg, M.D., professor of pediatrics, and clinical director of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Pediatric HIV Program at Golisano Children's Hospital at UR Medicine Connections is supported by listeners like you.

“It does seem like something different is at play here, and part of it is how blatant the lies are.” That's the assessment from LA Times columnist Matt Lewis, a conservative who has been shocked to see how many of his fellow Republicans are sticking with President Trump. Lewis joins us to discuss what a consistent conservative ethic might mean in the Trump era and beyond.

Leila Philip explores beaver intelligence through the work of Harvard researcher Jordan Kennedy, who studies their collective behavior and connections to Indigenous Blackfeet knowledge. Beavers possess sensors in their tails to measure water flow rates, allowing them to make sophisticated decisions about where to build dams without being overwhelmed by strong currents.

What if the hours you add aren't the reason your business grows? We make the case that smart relationships beat raw hustle, then map a practical system for turning peers, mentors, creators, and event partners into compounding momentum. Starting with the network you already have, we break down how to lead with listening, spot complementary strengths, and make referrals that build trust on both sides. You will hear why a single podcast appearance can out-convert a dozen cold pitches and how to turn that visibility into warm, ongoing collaboration.We walk through four high-leverage relationship paths—peer networking, mentorship, strategic collaborations, and events—and show how each one brings a different kind of lift. Think coffee chats that create precise introductions, guest swaps that put you in front of a ready audience, and event invites that borrow credibility at scale. Along the way, we share niche examples, like when a therapist serving first responders should refer a police officer to a specialist, and how seemingly different fields can still share an overlapping audience that makes co-creation natural and profitable.To tie it together, we outline the structure of a curated mastermind that blends all four paths. With five to seven members, three meetings each month, two 90-day sprints, and monthly hot seats, you get accountability, targeted feedback, and a cross-pollination of skills—YouTube growth from one member, email monetization from another. The result is a clear path from conversation to outcome: fewer cold pitches, more warm invitations, and clients arriving pre-sold through trusted voices.If this resonates and you are ready to grow through relationships, apply to our mastermind today. Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs a better networking playbook, and leave a review to tell us what collaboration you are planning next.Read more HERESupport the show
