We're throwing it back to the 1996 cult classic film The Craft just in time for Halloween! We begin with a conversation about Hannah and Marcelle's teenage witch phases (of course they both had them), before digging into the filmic landscape of the 90s. Hannah argues that The Craft's interest in girlhood and power was a catalyst that paved the way for pop culture to come, like Buffy and Charmed and Practical Magic. Hannah then draws on Stacy Gillis and Rebecca Munford's “Genealogies and Generations: The Politics and Praxis of Third Wave Feminism" and Jessica Rosenberg and Gitana Garofalo's “Riot Grrrl: Revolutions from Within" to help understand the resonance of film. If you too went through a witch phase, or indeed are still a practicing witch, then this episode is for you!***Works CitedBastién, Angelica Jade. “The Profound, Enduring Legacy of The Craft.” Vulture 27 October 2017. https://www.vulture.com/2017/10/the-craft-its-enduring-legacy.html.

From Debt to Wealth Building Catrina lost 80% of her income when a major client left and found herself $100K in debt This challenge drove her to learn real estate investing and the tax strategies behind wealth building Paid off her debt in 2 years while building a rental portfolio 2. The CPA vs. Tax Strategist CPAs focus on compliance and reporting what already happened Tax strategists plan proactively to reduce your tax bill before decisions are made Working with a strategist who knows your industry—especially real estate—is critical 3. Avoiding Common Structure Mistakes Many investors set up LLCs without understanding tax treatment options Holding real estate in a C corp is a costly and often irreversible mistake Asset protection includes entity structure, insurance, and understanding exposure risk 4. Planning Beats Panic Most deductions and deferrals (like cost segregation and 1031s) require advance planning Catrina meets monthly or quarterly with clients to stay ahead of key decisions Tax planning should start at the beginning of the year—not at filing time 5. Questions to Vet a Tax Professional Ask about their industry experience and how often they meet with clients Determine whether they offer strategy or just compliance services Ensure they understand your specific investing model (e.g. syndication vs. flipping)

Today, Dave sits down with Eric Wareheim and Gabe Ulla, authors of the new book 'Steak House: The People, the Places, the Recipes'. Amongst friends, the discussion ranges from the magic of steakhouses to the ideal steakhouse order. The myriad types of potato sides are listed, the right way to order a martini is declared, and the idea of the steak dinner celebration as a descendant of the old-school hunt and sacrifice is posed.

Without being led astray by the impracticalities of business textbooks, there is good benefit to being more thoughtful in your approach to winning at business. A business owner is set up to always be one step behind if he's constantly reacting to what the market and his competitors throw at him. This is a formula for failure. Hope is not a strategy. Vibes aren’t strategy. Guessing is not a growth plan. Strategy is a set of decisions built on reality. It's making things happen, instead of waiting for them to. An owner should approach his business with intention and focused execution. That's what a more comprehensive strategy outlook provides. It sets you up better for the win.

Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by screenwriter Jack Epps, Jr. and his student, up and coming screenwriter Kate Ginley, who is writing a screenplay about Pan Am and Tenerife.Jack is now a professor and Chair of the Writing for Screen and Television Division at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, also known as USC. But you probably already know of him from the most iconic aviation films ever made — the 1986 blockbuster Top Gun, which he co-wrote with his longtime screenwriting partner, Jim Cash. Starring Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, Top Gun didn't just redefine aviation movies — it became a cultural phenomenon. It inspired generations of aviators, reignited pride in flight, and set the gold standard for how aviation could be portrayed on screen.The film was also a popular hit during its run as a featured movie of Pan Am's Theatre in the Air. Beyond the breathtaking aerial footage, Top Gun is a brilliant study in the craft of screenwriting — how character, emotion, and story structure come together to create cinematic magic.After Top Gun, Jack Epps, Jr.  and Jim Cash went on to write a series of major Hollywood hits, including Legal Eagles, The Secret of My Success, Dick Tracy, and Turner & Hooch. Today, Jack brings that same storytelling mastery to his students at USC — shaping the next generation of screenwriters and filmmakers.In our conversation, we'll talk about Jack's remarkable career, his insights into the art and discipline of screenwriting, the enduring legacy of Top Gun, and how Kate is carrying that storytelling spirit forward in her new screenplay about Pan Am and the tragedy at Tenerife.Support the show Visit Us for more Pan Am History!

This week on Stitch Please, Lisa chats with costume designer LeVonne Lindsay, who turned a post breakup hobby into a career dressing drama literally. From sewing Barbie outfits to running a college costume shop, LeVonne shares what it really takes to make magic backstage. It's a fun, insightful dive into the world of stitches, stage lights, and saying no to shortcuts (until you've earned them).===========Dr. Lisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture.

One thing Josh Penney noticed after moving to Brooklyn from Los Angeles late last fall – aside from markedly less sunny weather – was a broader diversity in beer styles across brewery taprooms.   “It seemed to be a wider range of things that were really appealing to everybody,” he said. “Because out on the West Coast, you might have a robust porter, but then you have, like, six different IPAs.”   Penney is the head brewer at Brooklyn-based Threes Brewing, a role he took on last year after leaving Los Angeles' Highland Park Brewing. He joins this week's Brewbound Podcast to share insights gleaned from his bicoastal brewing career.   Before the interview, the Brewbound team breaks down Molson Coors' latest corporate restructuring and dives into the scuttlebutt surrounding that ornery New York Times op-ed about one writer's personal issues with craft beer.

Emmy-nominated costume designer Virginia B. Johnson grew up with a “dragon mother,” which shaped her structured habits and her ability to work smoothly amid chaos. Her childhood was filled with intergenerational connection and crafting - learning sewing, embroidery, knitting and crocheting from a “flock of Filipina aunties,” which fostered not only a sense of community, but a foundational skill for her eventual career. Although she was a pre-med major in college, a serendipitous side gig in a college theater costume shop sparked a passionate pivot to a career that now includes critically-acclaimed and award-winning projects like Hillbilly Elegy and American Primeval, and the opportunity to lead teams in the art of deploying deep craft and rigorous, reverent cultural authenticity to drive powerful storytelling.

In this episode, Molly reveals how to attract high-performing talent that's already winning somewhere else. She shares proven strategies for identifying where top executive assistants are hiding, crafting outreach that speaks to their ambitions, and positioning your firm as a destination for growth-driven professionals. With actionable steps and mindset shifts, Molly shows how to turn your hiring process into a magnet for excellence and alignment. Key Takeaways: Focus on industries and environments where your ideal executive assistants currently thrive, such as legal, financial, and tech services. Craft personalized messages that speak to the ambition and vision of potential hires, rather than just their resume. Leverage video platforms to create engaging and direct outreach messages to candidates, maximizing impact and authenticity. Look beyond traditional job platforms like LinkedIn. Explore Facebook groups, Slack communities, and professional networking groups for promising talent. Approach hiring as offering an opportunity for growth and vision, not just filling a position. Align potential candidates with your company's values and future roadmap.   Quote for the Show: "Treat attracting an employee the same way you attract a soulmate, a prospective client, or a dream partnership." - Molly McGrath   Links: Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/bbemYAAJiK8 

In this powerful and deeply human episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with a returning guest who's more than just a local legend—he's a living symbol of resilience, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Meet Al Santillo, the owner of Santillo's Brick Oven Pizza in Elizabeth, New Jersey, a family business with over a century of history and flavor baked into every slice.Al's story has everything: generational legacy, loss, community redemption, and the unwavering pursuit of mastery. Earlier this year, a devastating fire tore through Santillo's beloved pizzeria, threatening to end a business that had become both a cultural landmark and a culinary icon. But where many would have folded, Al got to work. And in this episode, he shares exactly what it took to rebuild—not just the physical space, but the spirit behind the oven.From his old-school bread route days as a 7-year-old hustling loaves door to door, to hospital stays and near-death experiences, Al opens up like never before. He walks us through the fire on January 6th, the aftermath, and how the community—including Barstool's Dave Portnoy—stepped up in an incredible way to support him. Portnoy's viral pizza reviews and emergency fundraiser campaign gave Santillo's a second chance, but it's Al's grit, wisdom, and work ethic that make this comeback story unforgettable.In this episode, we dive into:How Santillo's Pizza became a national treasure through word-of-mouth and artisan-level qualityThe brutal reality of zoning laws, insurance headaches, and rebuilding a historic oven brick by brickWhy every bite of his pizza tastes different—and why that matters to people who care about foodAl's reflections on work ethic, discipline, and what his father taught him about worry and purposeHis time in the Air Force, how military service shaped his mindset, and why legacy matters more than everHow modern tech (from Instagram to exhaust fan specs) is shaping old-world businesses in new waysWhether you're a creative, a business owner, a foodie, or someone navigating your own comeback, this conversation will resonate deeply. Al's philosophy is simple but powerful: “Pizza is my art. I make it, you like it, and that's it.” But behind that simplicity is a lifetime of sacrifice, hard-earned lessons, and deep roots in a way of life that's becoming increasingly rare.You'll also hear wild dream sequences from his post-surgery recovery, insights into artisan pizza techniques, and stories that span generations—from door-to-door bread deliveries in the ‘60s to the city council meetings of today. Al doesn't hold back. His words are unfiltered, thoughtful, and often funny in that classic Jersey way. You'll come for the pizza lore—but you'll stay for the soul.If you've ever wondered what it takes to keep a small business alive for three generations, this episode is your blueprint. It's also a masterclass in humility, resilience, and what it means to truly love your work. Al Santillo isn't just making pizza—he's preserving a culture, a community, and a way of doing business that doesn't cut corners or chase trends. And we need more of that in the world.Like what you heard?

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Sergio Tache, founder and CEO of Dossier, the viral fragrance brand rewriting the rules of luxury. What started as a simple question—“Why should smelling good cost $150?”—has evolved into a global movement redefining access, quality, and transparency in the world of scent.Sergio shares his unconventional journey from finance to fragrance, revealing how a curiosity for entrepreneurship led him to challenge one of beauty's most exclusive markets. Dossier began with a clear mission: make high-quality, cruelty-free perfumes with premium ingredients—without the markup. What emerged was not just an affordable alternative, but an entirely new way for consumers to explore fragrance through layering, discovery, and personalization.From its early “impressions” collection inspired by luxury icons to its growing line of original creations like It Factor, Dossier has evolved from “dupe” to disruptor—proving that true luxury is about integrity, not price tags. Sergio also lifts the curtain on the brand's minimalist ethos: recyclable packaging, transparent sourcing, and French craftsmanship that speaks for itself.As the fragrance landscape shifts, Dossier stands out for celebrating individuality and inclusivity. Sergio discusses how consumer preferences are changing—toward genderless scents, mindful spending, and authenticity—and why the future of fragrance lies in accessibility, not aspiration.Tune in to hear how Dossier is democratizing luxury, one scent at a time—and why the next evolution of perfume is all about confidence, creativity, and connection.Shop all Dossier Fragrances!CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome0:54 – Sergio's Transition from Finance to Fragrance2:18 – Founding Dossier & Making Luxury Accessible4:01 – Value vs. Discovery in Fragrance5:37 – Breaking Down Luxury Pricing7:16 – From “Dupes” to Original Creations10:57 – Fragrance as an Everyday Luxury11:43 – Lessons from Building Dossier16:44 – Craft, Packaging & the Future of FragrancePlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!
