Podcasts about Craft

322 / Jami and Sara are on a summer break, so we're sharing guest episodes we did on other podcasts. This week, it's our discussion with Richie on the Fantasy Writers Toolshed podcast.

How do you build a meaningful career when AI is rewriting the future of work? In this episode, I sit down with New York Times investigative reporter Jodi Kantor to talk about why so many young professionals feel discouraged about the future, and how digital shifts are reshaping our modern workplaces. Jodi shares how she survived getting fired from her college paper and dropping out of law school, and how those setbacks paved her way back to journalism. We also dive deep into the realities of AI-driven hiring, the loss of workplace autonomy, and the formula for reclaiming your agency.

Send us Fan MailThis week on Leave Your Mark EP 480, I sit down with Victor Hall, a leader, educator, and coach who has spent more than 25 years helping athletes, coaches, military personnel, and performance professionals reach their potential.Victor currently serves within the Education and Tactical divisions at EXOS, where he helps shape performance systems, coach development, and strategies focused on optimizing readiness, resilience, and long-term performance. His journey, however, began far from elite sport on a family farm in Northern California, where hard work, responsibility, and problem-solving were daily requirements.In this conversation, Victor shares how the loss of his family's farm shaped his perspective on adversity, the accidental path that led him into strength and conditioning, and the lessons he learned while developing from a quiet, introverted young coach into a respected leader within one of the most influential performance organizations in the world.We discuss:• Growing up on a family farm and the lessons that still guide his work today• The challenges of losing the family farm and rebuilding a new future• Finding strength and conditioning by accident• Learning to coach as an introvert• Building meaningful relationships with athletes and coaches• Leadership, management, and personal growth• The impact of parenthood on coaching philosophy• Working in tactical and military performance environments• Balancing career ambitions with family life• The importance of self-awareness and continuous growthVictor brings a thoughtful, grounded perspective to coaching and leadership that will resonate with anyone working in performance, education, sport, business, or life.Enjoy the conversation.If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston. You can find all things LYM at www.LYMLab.com, download your free Life Lab Starter Kit today and get busy living https://lymlab.com/free-lym-lab-starter/Please take the time to visit and connect with our sponsors, they are an essential part of our success:www.ReconditioningHQ.comwww.FreePainGuide.com 

JB is in studio, and after a quick chat about where Zak Butters might be playing next season, Billy rattles through an All Sports Report that features exclusive audio from a disastrous bike crash in Germany. Aussie cricketer Brendan Doggett calls in as he prepares for a massive next nine months of cricket, but Billy just had to bring up the time when the Sydney Thunder got rolled for 15. Topics Brownless goes real niche, we hear the best Triple M Footy moments from the weekend, and World Cup Fat keeps you up to date on what's going on in North America. Craig and Brandon Starcevich are in studio as they discuss their careers, and their new app which can help local footy players find what they're worth. Finally, Billy has a joke about a man with hearing issues. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The same weekend, two of the most impressive pitching performances of the year — one from a junior at Georgia, one from a second-year Brewer. Joey Volchko punched out 15 over a complete game against Texas in the CWS opener. Jacob Misiorowski punched out 15 over a complete game against the Phillies on 95 pitches. Same number. Different level. Same underlying story about what good pitching development actually looks like.This BDH walks through both case studies in detail.Volchko in Athens — a high-upside Stanford transfer who'd been told for years to throw a four-seamer he couldn't throw. Georgia and Coach Wes Johnson got him in the lab, saw the natural cut, threw out the four-seam, made the cutter the number one, reframed the slider as a harder bullet, added a sweeper, then layered in a seam-shifted-wake sinker in the fall. They didn't change the athlete. They identified what he did best and built the repertoire around it. Result: a 15-K complete game on the biggest stage of his career, and a first-round draft profile.Misiorowski in Milwaukee — a high-walk minor leaguer two years ago, now a 105-in-the-tank big league starter throwing 95-pitch complete-game shutouts. The conversation reframes the cleanest line in modern pitching development: there is a difference between control (throwing strikes) and command (throwing strikes that play). Miz's in-zone rate is actually down. His first-pitch strike rate is up 8 points. Hitters are giving him more of the zone because they have to. The Brewers' system is the cleanest pitching development organization in baseball right now, and Misiorowski's arc is the proof.The back half opens up to the broader landscape:The Trey Turner slump — the leg-kick mechanics that have him stuck in 50/50, and why the breaking-ball whiff distance is the metric that confirms itYordan Alvarez as the actual best hitter in baseball — "Juan Soto things at Aaron Judge's size"The Aaron Judge shelf situationThe mid-season baseball tightening and the banana-peel outfield routes that came with itChristopher Sanchez's slider — average shape, elite value, because of the repertoire it lives insideA closing argument that we're watching the best baseball that's ever been playedThe throughline:The best pitching development at every level looks the same — don't fit guys into a box, find what they do best, and build the repertoire around it. Wes Johnson does it in Athens. The Brewers do it in Milwaukee. Different methods, same philosophy. This episode is the cleanest articulation of that idea Trevor and Dan have done on the pod.00:00 Intro · CWS Weekend, Two 15-K Games 01:30 Joey Volchko · 15K vs Texas in Athens 04:00 The Georgia · Wes Johnson Pitching Lab 07:30 Don't Fit Pitchers Into a Box · The Individual Build 11:30 The Four-Seam, the Cutter, the Sinker · Repertoire Construction 15:30 The 48/37 Pitch Mix · When Off-Speed Is the Fastball19:30 Beyond Nasty Stuff · The Next Layer of Pitching Development 24:30 Misiorowski · 15K vs the Phillies on 95 Pitches 28:00 Control vs Command · The Real Distinction 32:30 The Brewers as the Banner Pitching Development Org36:00 The Regression-Proof Fastball 40:00 Trey Turner · The Leg Kick and the 50/50 46:00 Aaron Judge on the Shelf · The Best Hitter Conversation49:00 Yordan Alvarez · Juan Soto Things at Aaron Judge's Size53:30 The Tightened Ball · Banana-Peel Outfield Routes 58:00 Christopher Sanchez's Slider · Why Repertoire Beats Pitch Grade1:02:00 Closing · The Best Baseball That's Ever Been Played

Strong workforce systems are built when education, industry, and leadership move together.In this episode of Innovation Unplugged, Houston Blackwood and Matt Heaton welcome Andy Chamness for a discussion on career technical education, workforce partnerships, and the future of craft training in Alabama. As both an education leader and pastor, Andy shares how faith, mentorship, and service have shaped his leadership philosophy and commitment to helping students succeed.The conversation highlights the opportunities ahead for skilled trades, the importance of apprenticeship-style learning, and why meaningful impact starts with investing in people and communities.

What does it take to walk away from a decade in product, and a job most people would envy, to bet on yourself?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Peter Yang, who just left his product lead role at Roblox to go full-time on his newsletter and podcast, Behind the Craft and build his own projects. Peter talks through the trade-offs of solopreneur life, why his calendar is suddenly empty, and how he uses an AI personal advisor with three principles to decide what to say no to.They explore his day-to-day AI builder stack, from running Codex as a daily driver to using Hermes for his recurring scheduled tasks, his working definition of slop and why he guards against it, and what he's actually measuring as success now that nobody is handing him a promotion.If you're a PM weighing whether to leave a stable job to build on your own, a creator trying to scale output without sliding into slop, or anyone wiring AI agents into their daily work, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

A flood destroyed the factory, the FDA shut them down, and the company had almost no cash and then something remarkable happened.  Ramon Vela sits down with Alex Whitmore, Founder & CEO of Taza Chocolate, for a deeply human conversation about twenty-plus years of stone-ground, mission-driven chocolate making in Somerville, Massachusetts.  From a transformative trip to Oaxaca to pioneering direct trade relationships with cocoa farmers in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Alex's story is one of the most compelling in the specialty food world. * The flood that almost ended everything. Just a few years into building Taza, a freak thunderstorm flooded the factory, destroyed inventory, and triggered an FDA shutdown. What happened next surprised even Alex: suppliers, customers, landlord, and community all showed up. That moment taught him that business is deeply human at its core. * A trip to Oaxaca that changed everything. The name Taza comes from "taza de chocolate," a traditional Mexican drinking chocolate. After visiting stone mills in southern Mexico in his twenties, Alex came home and built the only company in America making chocolate on traditional Mexicano stone mills — and that founding commitment still defines every bar made today. * Direct trade before it was a trend. Taza built relationships directly with cocoa farmers, paying above fair trade prices and publishing an annual transparency report. When the global cocoa crisis hit and prices spiked, those long-standing farmer relationships became a genuine competitive and operational lifeline. * Twenty years of staying independent. Taza raised only $120,000 at the start and never chased outside capital. Alex walks through what two decades of bootstrapping in an intensely competitive specialty food category actually teaches you about patience, resilience, and staying true to your craft. * Start with the Wicked Dark. Taza's number one seller is a 95% dark chocolate bar made with cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Alex also points new fans to the Mexican Style Chocolate Discs, the product that best captures who Taza has always been. Join us in listening to this episode for a rich and genuinely moving conversation about craft, community, and what it means to build a brand with deep roots and unshakeable values over two decades.  Whether you are a chocolate lover, a founder, or someone who just needs a reminder of why the mission matters, this one will stay with you.  Visit: https://www.tazachocolate.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this! * Today's Sponsors: Saral - The Influencer OS: https://www.getsaral.com/demo SARAL is the all-in-one influencer platform that finds brand-aligned creators, automates outreach, and manages everything in one place.

Send us Fan MailIn this bridge, we break down "Ruin the Friendship" by Taylor Swift with a focus on lyrical techniques and a touch on melody.  We talk about the power of a bridge and the alchemy of a bridge on the rest of the narrative.Support this podcast:https://buymeacoffee.com/scarlet.keys Venmo: @scarlet-keysWhat members are saying:"I've been in Scarlet's songwriting group since it began. I've learned so much from Scarlet, her guests, and from the other members. It's been an important part of my songwriting journey." - Neale Eckstein I really have grown through your community. Here is a quote that captures my feelings ..... "Through lyric-writing practice, craft-focused feedback, and a supportive community of songwriters, I've become a stronger storyteller in song and gained confidence to share those stories with a wider audience." ... Joe Howell"Scarlet was my first songwriting professor when I was a student at Berklee College of Music. I had never written a song before and left her class with a catalogue of finished songs and an immense love for the craft of writing. 10 years later, I'm now a professional musician, songwriter, and songwriting coach. Through the years, I have been encouraged by the wisdom and insight Scarlet has to offer. I'm not a morning person, but I look forward to the Friday morning sessions where I log on with my bed head, notebook, and cup of tea. The group offers a sense of community with other kind writers working on their art and finding joy in this world through music. The meetings are a positive start to my weekend and keep me inspired as I work on my various music projects. I am so fortunate enough to learn from Scarlet with her positive spirit and love for songwriting." - Stephanie JamesSongwriting retreats:Star Island In person songwriting retreat: https://starisland.org/program/songwriting-intensive-the-art-of-the-song/Support this podcast: Join the “What's in a Song” community: https://buymeacoffee.com/scarlet.keysScarlet's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scarletkeysofficial/To purchase Scarlet Keys' book "What if it All Goes Right: Practicing Hope in the Hardest Times" featured on NPR and the Wall Street Journal:https://www.amazon.com/What-All-Goes-Right-Practicing/dp/B0CTYVQ9Q8Joe Bennett:To learn more about forensic musicology and professor Joe Bennett: https://joebennett.net/Mailing list:https://www.scarletkeys.com/Mixed by Peter Sykes: https://www.petersykesmusic.com/Scarlet's website: https://www.scarletkeys.comScarlet's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scarletkeysofficial/To purchase Scarlet Keys' book "The Craft of Songwriting:https://www.amazon.com/Craft-Songwriting-Music-Meaning-Emotion/dp/0876391927/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PP55NU6E9ST6&keywords=the+craft+of+songwriting&qid=1659573139&sprefix=the+craft+of+songwritin%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1

Finding your creator voice isn't a craft problem. It's an attention problem. If your content feels hollow or sounds like everyone else's, more reps won't fix it. But one story a day might. In this solo episode, I share what happened during a coaching session with my own coach Jeremy that cracked open something I'd been circling for ten years. I was listing out everything frustrating me about my show, my brand, my offer. Somewhere in that list, I realized the real problem wasn't any of those things. It was that I'd been creating content that felt like me on the outside and wasn't me at all on the inside. I walk through ten years of output: over 700 YouTube videos, as many newsletters, 150+ podcast episodes, 400+ landing pages. And what it felt like when all of it fell flat. Not because of execution, but because I was hiding behind borrowed ideas and other people's frameworks. If your content feels like a performance, or you've been consistent for years without the connection you expected, this episode is for you. One story. That's the practice. Input/Output is the show for coaches, consultants, and expertise-based creators building a creator system grounded in who they are. Hosted by Certified High Performance Coach Shawn Buttner, each episode explores creator identity, finding your creator voice, content systems, and the habits behind sustainable creative growth. Chapters: The coaching session that cracked it open Why creator voice isn't a craft problem Ten years of content that felt off Hiding behind borrowed ideas Patrick's challenge: list every story you tell The one-story-a-day practice Why storytelling forces a point of view How to know when your voice is working One question to ask yourself today Join the newsletter to get a different take on todays' episode, right to your inbox every week: www.shawnbuttner.com/joinus

Teddy Baldassarre has built one of the most influential watch platforms in the world — and just as compelling as the watches themselves is the entrepreneurial story behind it.I first met Teddy almost ten years ago at StartMart in Terminal Tower, before any of this existed: before millions of followers, before the global audience, before the authorized retail partnerships, and before the beautiful physical boutique we recorded this conversation in at Crocker Park.In this episode, Teddy and I explore where his passion for watches began, how a first YouTube video evolved into one of the largest educational platforms in the watch world, and how he turned content into trust, trust into community, and community into a real business.We talk about entrepreneurship, self-expression, building online credibility, navigating the leap from digital media to commerce and physical retail, working with traditional watch brands, the enduring appeal of mechanical watches in an age where no one technically needs one, and what watches can teach us about craft, memory, status, meaning, and time itself.At its core, this is a conversation about building something that is an honest extension of who you are — and what can happen when curiosity, taste, discipline, and timing compound over the course of a decade.00:00 Introduction & Meeting Teddy01:00 Early Days: Startups, YouTube Beginnings03:00 Discovering a Passion for Watches06:00 Watches as Craft & Self-Expression08:00 Turning Passion into Business & Monetization11:00 Launching E-Commerce & the Pandemic Pivot13:00 Brand, Community, and Content16:00 Building an Approachable Watch Platform18:00 Opening the First Store & Physical Expansion20:00 Partnering with Legacy Watch Brands22:00 Storytelling, Heritage, and the Value of Watches25:00 Watches in Modern Culture & Technology28:00 Entrepreneurial Learnings & Scaling a Personal Brand32:00 Team Building and Company Culture34:00 Pride, Impact, and Alignment with Life's Work36:00 Building Trust Online38:00 Defining Success39:00 Personal Curiosity & The Future of Watchmaking41:00 Looking Ahead: Growth, Retail, and Community42:00 Why Cleveland?

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we sit down with CJ Craft to break down the current state of Potomac River bass fishing, tidal bass fishing, and what it takes to catch quality tournament fish on one of the most pressured bass fisheries in the Mid-Atlantic. CJ recently finished tied for 2nd place in the Shenandoah Division BFL on the Potomac River with 15 pounds, 13 ounces, and he shares exactly how he approached a tough tidal river tournament where the bite window opened early and every key decision mattered.We talk in-depth about the challenges facing the Potomac River right now, including the lack of submerged grass, shrinking grass beds, heavy boat pressure, lower tournament weights, and why the river is “fishing smaller” than it has in past years. CJ explains how limited grass has pushed more anglers into the same community holes around areas like Belmont and Occoquan Bay, why grass fishing on the Potomac River has become more difficult, and how hard cover fishing has become a major factor in catching quality largemouth bass.CJ also breaks down his BFL fishing strategy, including how he practiced for the Shenandoah Division BFL, why he stayed close to takeoff, how low tide positioned his fish, and how he caught every bass he weighed before 8:00 AM. We dive into tidal bass fishing tips, understanding tide timing, fishing around pressure, making adjustments during tough conditions, and why overlooked water can be the key to catching bigger bass in Potomac River tournaments.In this episode, we also cover the Battle of the Border Series, Maryland vs. Virginia tournament fishing, local Potomac River team tournaments, and how CJ and Jeff Whitner adjusted from a hard cover pattern to a grass-oriented pattern in changing tidal conditions. CJ shares his thoughts on Potomac River spawning windows, spring bass fishing, chatterbait fishing, Thunder Cricket setups, fluorocarbon vs. braid, and how to target quality bass when the river is not producing the giant bags anglers are used to seeing.Toward the end of the show, we explore another unique Maryland tidal bass fishery: the Patuxent River. CJ introduces us to the Pax River Elite Series, fishing around Jug Bay and Jackson's Landing, and how the Patuxent River offers a completely different style of Maryland bass fishing with muddy water, current, laydowns, lily pads, hard cover, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, snakehead, stripers, and catfish. We also compare the Patuxent River to other tidal fisheries like the James River and Chickahominy River and discuss how fishing tight tidal creeks can help anglers become better tournament fishermen.If you want to learn more about Potomac River bass fishing, tidal river bass fishing, BFL tournament fishing, Maryland bass fishing, Patuxent River fishing, grass fishing, hard cover fishing, chatterbait fishing, low tide bass fishing, spring bass fishing, pressured tidal fisheries, and how to catch more bass in tough tournament conditions, this episode is packed with local knowledge, tournament insight, and real-world fishing experience from CJ Craft.CJ Craft on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cj.craft.451534 Pax River Elite Serious Invitationals:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/420654917404080/ Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcastIf you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.comLMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/ Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/ Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5N Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs Support the show

Episode 383: JOE LOBEL "The UK's Wordplay King & The Battle of Content vs. Craft" In this episode of @ROADpodcast, the crew sits down with UK-based DJ and wordplay innovator @Joe.Lobel to unpack the complexities of building a career in the modern digital age. The conversation begins at (01:10) with Lobel's journey from the UK to the US for his Memorial Day run, his perspective on the UK nightlife scene, and the process of securing a US work visa. The discussion shifts to how a "Hip Hop DJ" is defined in the UK before moving to the disconnect between viral social media success and actual ticket sales (09:10). Joe details his technical approach to video production, leading to a broader debate on whether modern DJs are prioritizing content creation over their core musical craft, a theme further explored regarding the rise of DJs with limited skills (21:30). The dialogue turns to the reality of creator burnout and the compulsion to film every moment, and the group reflects on the "perpetual machine" of social media and whether one can truly step away from it (33:00). Joe discusses his scheduling tactics and the risk of pigeonholing himself, followed by a conversation about his reputation for wordplay transitions and the challenge of moving beyond that specific niche (39:55). The episode continues with thoughts on managing copycats in the industry and a discussion on rebrand strategies and equipment (57:01). Finally, the episode concludes with a look at how tech companies are influencing the DJ party landscape with events like @playgrndseries (1:08:01).

321 / Sara and I are on a summer break, so we're sharing guest episodes we did on other podcasts. This week, it's my discussion with Doug and Nick on the Two Authors' Podcast

Pastor Paul Schultz sits down with Pastor Zelwyn Heide of the North Dakota District to talk about one of the most neglected aspects of pastoral formation — the craft of preaching. The conversation moves from the theoretical to the practical: why content alone isn't enough, how persuasion is inseparable from faithful proclamation, an where to find the best resources outside LCMS circles for sharpening that craft. Heide walks through several key works, including John Broadus's classic Treatise on the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons, Hugh Oliphant Old's seven-volume history of preaching, and examples drawn from Chrysostom, the English Puritans, and others — all in service of helping Lutheran pastors preach with greater clarity, depth, and effect. The goal isn't imitation but formation: learning from the best so you can preach with your own voice, to your own people, in your own context.   ----more---- Host: Fr. Paul Schulz Guest: Fr.

What does it mean to practise Wicca as an initiatory tradition today, and how does the legacy of figures such as Doreen Valiente continue to shape modern Witchcraft?In this livestream, I will be joined by Rufus Harrington, a Wiccan priest and long-standing initiate of the Craft, trustee of the Doreen Valiente Foundation, psychotherapist, and teacher of magical practice. Together, we will explore the history, practice, and inner logic of Wicca beyond the stereotypes: initiation, ritual, secrecy, the Horned God, the role of the priesthood, and the relationship between magic, psychology, and transformation.Rufus brings a rare combination of lived initiatory experience, historical connection to key figures in modern Witchcraft, and professional expertise in psychotherapy. This conversation will be especially valuable for anyone interested in British Traditional Wicca, Alexandrian and Gardnerian lineages, Doreen Valiente, Enochian magic, Pagan priesthood, and the deeper question of how magical traditions survive, adapt, and remain meaningful in the present.CONTACT DETAILS: cbtclinics@btopenworld.comCONNECT & SUPPORT

Hi, friends, and welcome back to our series, "On Becoming: The Art and Craft of Personal Storytelling," where we take a close look at personal essays written by real students, talk about why we love them, what makes them work, and how they came to be. In this episode, I'm joined by Amber Patterson, Regional Director of Admission at Texas Christian University. This conversation does two things at once. We read a real student essay closely, line by line, and we get inside an admission reader's head to understand what's actually landing as she reads through it. We get into: What Amber hopes to learn about a student when she sits down with their personal statement Why TCU has chosen not to use any AI to read applications, and the human moments she says a machine can't pick up How the reading process actually works at TCU  A full breakdown of an essay called "The Silent Assassin," starting with Amber's take on why a clever hook may matter less than students think How to nest a small, everyday challenge inside a larger essay (the hybrid structure), and how a common challenge can be than enough How to subtly weave an extracurricular activity into your essay, and how to actually use the additional information section Amber's honest take on AI for students: where it helps, and where to avoid it Amber Patterson is a first generation, non-traditional college student who earned her Bachelor's degree in Ethnic Studies from Cal State East Bay and a Master of Human Relations degree in Inclusive Leadership from the University of Oklahoma. After a decade as a college counselor in California public high schools, she moved into higher ed and now serves as Regional Director of Admission at Texas Christian University. She has served on WACAC's Executive Board and currently chairs Professional Development for the Regional Admission Counselors of California. What she loves most about this work is helping students find their path to higher education and fostering an environment where every student's unique experiences are valued. I loved this conversation, and Amber's care for students comes through in every answer. I hope you enjoy it too.   Play-by-Play: 2:21 –  What is often happening in admission offices in June? 3:43 – What does Amber look for in a personal statement?  5:05 – What is the application reading process like at TCU and what is the role of the personal statement?  8:59 – What conversations are happening in the TCU admissions office around using AI for application review? 12:56 – What is the human "feeling" a great essay creates, and why is it so hard to teach a machine to find it?  15:34 – Do college essays need titles? 17:10 – Amber reads the essay, which we're calling "The Silent Assassin"  21:40 – Why does a clever hook matter less than students think? 24:42 – How does the author show leadership qualities through the essay?  26:58 – Why is "show, don't tell" an effective storytelling technique for college essays? 31:39 – How can students nest a challenge into the essay without it being the whole story? 36:40 – When should students weave an activity into the personal statement? 39:51 – Where is it best for students to mention their intended major? 41:00 – What can students include in the additional information section?  43:54 – What does the admission reader learn about the student through their proudest moment in high school?  50:01 – How much information might an admission reader catch in a quick read?  51:58 – What advice does Amber have for students around AI use? 54:15 – What does Amber hope that students will keep in mind throughout this process? 55:19 – Closing thoughts  Resources: The "Silent Assassin" Essay Should I Discuss Mental Health in My Personal Statement or College Application?

Bob Zimmerman surveys global spaceport developments, contrasting Spain's investment in French Guiana with the liquidation of the UK's Sutherland facility due to red tape. He debunks claims that the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas is an alien craft and notes that unpredictable sunspot activity continues to defy scientific models.1958

The crew kicks things off with air show excitement taking over St. Louis. Between Blue Angels screaming across the sky, traffic nightmares in Chesterfield Valley, food truck plans, soccer matches, and Moon somehow scheduling approximately 47 events in a single Saturday, the weekend is already off to a chaotic start. The team also swaps stories about hidden local gems, parks they've somehow ignored for years, and the eternal struggle of trying to get anywhere during a major regional event.Steve Ewing, his wife Beth, and the tragic loss of their dog after an attack in Tower Grove Park. The gang shares thoughts on responsible pet ownership, leash laws, dog training, accountability, and the kind of people who make terrible situations even worse by running away from them. It's an emotional discussion that highlights how quickly an ordinary day can become unforgettable.What's worse—finding out your child is being bullied or finding out your child is the bully? That launches a flood of personal stories, old-school parenting advice, schoolyard fight memories, gym teachers who looked the other way, and lessons learned from growing up in a world where conflict usually worked itself out one way or another.They debate about things that were ruined once too many people discovered them. Food trucks. Craft beer. Airbnb. Festivals. Etsy. Secret parking spots. National parks. Podcasts. Nothing is safe. If you've ever loved something before it became wildly popular and slightly unbearable, you'll probably find yourself nodding along while simultaneously realizing you might be part of the problem.An Olive Garden server receives a massive $700 tip, management gets involved, fraud reviews begin, accusations start flying, Facebook explodes, and suddenly nobody knows who to believe. Along the way you'll hear tales of childhood heroes, local legends, travel headaches, restaurant pet peeves, and the type of random conversations that somehow only make sense when heard together. That's what happens when a group of friends sits down with microphones and starts following every ridiculous tangent to its natural conclusion.Rizz didn't know what a Long John donut was?Which led to a passionate discussion about Long Johns, eclairs, and why every city insists on calling the same food something completely different. From there, things get appropriately ridiculous.In music news, Ace Frehley's legendary 1975 Gibson Les Paul sells for over half a million dollars, proving that Kiss fans remain one of the most dedicated—and financially dangerous—fan bases on Earth. The crew dives into the legacy of the iconic guitar, the musicians inspired by it, and why certain pieces of rock history carry a price tag bigger than most houses.The Red Hot Chili Peppers, where former guitarist Josh Klinghoffer says his era with the band has basically been erased from history. The gang debates forgotten albums, band politics, and why some musicians act like entire chapters of their careers never happened.Elsewhere, Madonna surprises fans with a pop-up Pride performance in Times Square, Ted Danson opens up once again about one of the most controversial moments of his career, and Bret Michaels' daughter shares stories about growing up backstage at Poison concerts that absolutely sound like they came from another planet.Movie fans get fed as the crew breaks down reviews for the new Masters of the Universe film, debates whether nostalgia can carry a franchise forever, and discusses famous movie mistakes that accidentally became iconic scenes. Plus, Nightcrawler gets some love, The Birdcage remains a classic, and everyone learns that sometimes the best moments in cinema happen when things go completely off the rails.The crew discovers what modern audiences consider "dad rock," and let's just say nobody was emotionally prepared to hear Blink-182, Linkin Park, Korn, Creed, and Fall Out Boy thrown into the same category as classic rock legends. Time comes for us all.The gang dives headfirst into one of the most ridiculous E-Memoriums we've had in a while, featuring cheese addiction, public stupidity, psychedelic suburban dads, shattered aviation dreams, and one of the most unexpectedly wholesome surprises we've ever pulled off.Rafe kicks things off by documenting his descent into dairy madness after being forced onto a 90-day elimination diet. What started as a simple food sensitivity test has turned into a full-blown cheese withdrawal situation. We're talking Gouda cravings, cheddar desperation, and behavior that would get you escorted directly out of a Target. If you've ever loved cheese enough to question your life choices, you'll feel seen.Meanwhile, Rizz discovers there's now a Lost Boys musical on Broadway. That's right. Somewhere, a vampire is singing show tunes and Gen X dads everywhere are suddenly considering season tickets. The crew debates Broadway shows, Book of Mormon, and whether Lost Boys might be the gateway drug that finally gets middle-aged rock fans into theater.Then comes one of the week's strangest news stories as the gang revisits the infamous Hooters incident involving a customer who somehow managed to turn a chicken wing restaurant into the site of a criminal investigation. It leads to a conversation that proves common sense may officially be extinct.The laughs keep coming when Rizz recounts his Primus concert experience. What should have been a nostalgic night of music instead became a fascinating study of what happens when suburban dads try to reconnect with their youth through psychedelics while simultaneously worrying about mortgages, roofing contractors, colonoscopies, and elevated heart rates. It's less Woodstock and more West County Wellness Check.After learning he lost his chance to fly with the Blue Angels, Moon was genuinely crushed. What follows is one of the coolest surprises we've ever pulled off. With help from an incredible listener, a Blue Angels-themed Corvette Stingray appears outside the station, giving Moon the next best thing to taking flight. What starts as a joke quickly becomes a heartfelt moment involving family memories, aviation dreams, and enough horsepower to temporarily heal a broken heart.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Man arrested for smashing bar window in south St. LouisOlive Garden Faces Backlash After Server Says $700 Tip Led to FiringAce Frehley's main Kiss guitar, the 1975 “Budokan” Gibson Les Paul, sells for over half a million dollars at auctionRam Made An AI-Generated Shirt With A Tacoma On ItVolunteer firefighter arrested for setting blazes and responding to them with his own department during 30-hour arson spreeNew York robber on the run after stealing just $605 from six banks across cityMan allegedly had 11-year-old hold flashlight during burglaryCedar Point bans guest from all Six Flags parks for life after video shows him eating chicken nuggets while riding Millennium Force roller coasterHere's why a Newark flight to Spain had to turn around over the Atlantic68-year-old woman arrested for calling 911 over Jell-O shot denial at Ocala barMan accidentally shoots himself in groin while shopping at Florida WalmartSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Friday has arrived, and the gang is doing everything possible to safely land this week without accidentally starting an international incident.On this episode, the crew kicks things off with air show excitement taking over St. Louis. Between Blue Angels screaming across the sky, traffic nightmares in Chesterfield Valley, food truck plans, soccer matches, and Moon somehow scheduling approximately 47 events in a single Saturday, the weekend is already off to a chaotic start. The team also swaps stories about hidden local gems, parks they've somehow ignored for years, and the eternal struggle of trying to get anywhere during a major regional event.Then the conversation takes a serious turn as the crew discusses the heartbreaking situation involving Steve Ewing, his wife Beth, and the tragic loss of their dog after an attack in Tower Grove Park. The gang shares thoughts on responsible pet ownership, leash laws, dog training, accountability, and the kind of people who make terrible situations even worse by running away from them. It's an emotional discussion that highlights how quickly an ordinary day can become unforgettable.Of course, because this is a daily comedy show, the conversation eventually veers into parenting dilemmas and one question that immediately divides the room: what's worse—finding out your child is being bullied or finding out your child is the bully? That launches a flood of personal stories, old-school parenting advice, schoolyard fight memories, gym teachers who looked the other way, and lessons learned from growing up in a world where conflict usually worked itself out one way or another.The crew also tackles a surprisingly passionate debate about things that were ruined once too many people discovered them. Food trucks. Craft beer. Airbnb. Festivals. Etsy. Secret parking spots. National parks. Podcasts. Nothing is safe. If you've ever loved something before it became wildly popular and slightly unbearable, you'll probably find yourself nodding along while simultaneously realizing you might be part of the problem.And then comes the story that feels like it was specifically designed for the internet. An Olive Garden server receives a massive $700 tip, management gets involved, fraud reviews begin, accusations start flying, Facebook explodes, and suddenly nobody knows who to believe. The gang breaks down every confusing twist in the story and tries to figure out whether somebody got cheated, somebody got scammed, or everybody involved simply communicated terribly.Along the way you'll hear tales of childhood heroes, local legends, travel headaches, restaurant pet peeves, and the type of random conversations that somehow only make sense when heard together. That's what happens when a group of friends sits down with microphones and starts following every ridiculous tangent to its natural conclusion.Whether you're here for weird news, heartfelt moments, sarcastic commentary, or stories that spiral completely out of control, this daily comedy show delivers a little bit of everything. By the end, you'll laugh, shake your head, question humanity, and maybe double-check the tip amount before signing your next restaurant receipt.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with St. Louis stories, bizarre headlines, unexpected detours, and the kind of conversations that feel like hanging out with friends who absolutely should know better, Episode 42 has you covered.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we tackle a defining challenge of our modern era: Masonry and the Cultural Decline of Attention Spans. We live in a world dominated by rapid-fire algorithms, endless scrolling, and instant gratification, which are fundamentally altering our ability to focus. Our panel explores the traditional, long-form practices of the Craft, such as memorizing dense ritual, sitting through extensive business meetings, and engaging in deep philosophical contemplation, and asks where these ancient methods serve as a vital gym for strengthening the mind's attention. We also debate the critical balance of where the fraternity must adapt to engage a more distracted world without diluting the substance that makes it valuable. Join us for a timely conversation on maintaining depth in a shallow digital age.
