Do you look back at your sex ed classes and wonder WTF?! Are you a parent looking at your kid's curriculum and asking the same question? Sex Education 101: Approachable Essays on Folklore, Culture, & History (Fox Folk Press, 2023) is less of a how-to of sex education and more of a why. Why does abstinence-only sex ed receive so much federal funding? Why do instructors show gross images of STIs to scare students? The answers, believe it or not, have a lot to do with folklore. Folklore—informally transmitted traditional culture—has a lot to say about sex. And it is often people's first point of contact with information and messages about sex. Folklore encompasses urban legends, moral panics, and rumors, which influenced early U.S. policies around sex, and also includes jokes, raunchy folk songs, and beliefs and slang about menstruation or STIs. And thus, folklore shapes sex ed classrooms and school sex ed policies. Jeana Jorgensen earned her PhD in folklore at Indiana University. She is a lecturer in anthropology at Butler University and part of the editorial team at Marvel's & Tales. Her books include Folklore 101 (2021), Fairy Tales 101 (2022), and Sex Education 101 (2023), and her work has appeared in the Journal of American Folklore, Fabula, Journal of Folklore Research, and elsewhere.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast host Troy Trewin interviews Murray Kent shares how he turned a $40,000 acquisition of Con-ex into a $10M+ business with 35 employees and consistent 15–20% annual growth. He reveals how customer diversification, niche marketing, financial discipline, and an open-book management culture helped drive that growth. Murray explains why reducing owner dependency and building a strong team ultimately increased Conex's value and helped him secure a sale at nearly 6.5× EBITDA. He also discusses managing stress, maintaining work-life balance, and helping employees break through their own limitations. Finally, Murray shares his advice for business owners thinking about their exit, including why you should start building Conex to sell from day one. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here.

And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Murray Kent shares that the hardest part of growing a small business is managing your own expectations and stress.

The key is learning to manage it, stay healthy, and remind yourself that difficult periods will eventually pass. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Murray Kent shares that his favorite business book is Built to Sell, which had a major influence on how he approached building his businesses. He says its focus on creating a business with the eventual exit in mind shaped his thinking throughout his journey. Murray believes this approach leads to a stronger, more attractive business for a future buyer. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Murray Kent shares that he regularly learns from podcasts and books featuring the experiences of other business owners. He recommends Built to Sell Radio and Mark Bouris's Straight Talk, along with Money Café and The Contrarians. Murray values hearing real business stories because they reveal what worked, what didn't, and lessons he can apply to his own experience. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Murray Kent shares that the most valuable resource for growing a small business is becoming a better coach, encourager, and inspirer of people. He believes business owners should learn how to bring out the best in their team and help employees feel like owners. By developing and empowering people, leaders can create stronger engagement and drive sustainable business growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business?

For Episode 111 of the Que Bola Podcast, I sit down with Miami spray can artist ATOMIK for a conversation spanning three decades of graffiti, creativity and South Florida culture. ATOMIK takes me back to growing up around Miami graffiti in the 1980s, discovering early influences, receiving formal art training and eventually beginning his own spray-paint journey in the mid-'90s. He explains how his style evolved from technical lettering and traditional graffiti into the orange character that became his signature after the demolition of the Miami Orange Bowl. We also get into the culture behind the art: crews, competition, unwritten rules, risk, arrests, finding spots, traveling internationally and the tension between illegal graffiti and paid commercial work. ATOMIK opens up about money and the difficulty of treating a passion like a business, including the experience of seeing one of his paintings sell for thousands of dollars. We discuss Miami's changing neighborhoods, Wynwood's evolution, social media's effect on graffiti and why hard work still matters in an increasingly digital creative world. Finally, the conversation turns toward legacy, family and the advice ATOMIK would give his younger self after 30 years: think bigger, value your work and stop placing limitations on yourself.

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow is joined by Oren Niskin and Reynaldo Gonzalez for an engaging discussion on the evolving role of penetration testing in operational technology (OT) environments. Drawing from years of experience in industrial operations, IT, and OT cybersecurity, Oren and Reynaldo explain why successful OT security assessments require far more than technical expertise. They explore how trust, communication, and collaboration help bridge the gap between security teams and operations, making penetration testing a valuable business tool rather than something to fear. The conversation also highlights the importance of diverse career paths, hands-on learning, and mentoring the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. From network segmentation and risk communication to creating realistic lab environments, this episode offers practical lessons for anyone responsible for securing critical infrastructure. Key Learnings:  Why trust is essential for successful OT penetration testing How IT and operational experience strengthen OT security teams The value of network segmentation in reducing cyber risk Why "doing nothing" is no longer an acceptable cybersecurity strategy How organizations can bridge the gap between safety, operations, and security Practical ways to develop the next generation of OT cybersecurity professionals Key Moments:  07:00 Oren's technology and security approach 15:04 Discussing network security measures 19:16 Building Trust in Business Relationships 26:17 Understanding and planning security architecture 30:16 Network management and rule assessment 33:39 Managing and Assessing Tool Overload 38:39 Analyzing tool overlap and complementarity 48:41 Building a trusting team culture 49:48 Encouraging Open Communication 56:34 Getting into cybersecurity without IT experience 01:04:56 Entry-level ICS training courses Whether you're an OT engineer, penetration tester, security leader, or just beginning your cybersecurity journey, this episode delivers practical insights into protecting industrial environments while building stronger relationships across teams.

What does it actually take to build the people function at a company that went from a design tool to a global platform of 5,500 people?Jennie Rogerson, Chief People Officer at Canva, joins Jessica Neal and co-host Peter Clarke on Truth Works for a conversation about culture as an operating system, not a perk.Jennie's path into the role is one of the more unlikely ones in tech. She came up through hospitality, running restaurant floors where 220 covers a night meant 220 individual experiences to manage. She moved into hospitality tech, then got dragged to an after-work Canva workshop on making better presentations — and walked out convinced she had to work there.She applied. She didn't get the jobs. A colleague told her to look elsewhere. She ignored the advice.When the executive assistant role for co-founders Melanie Perkins and Cliff Obrecht opened up, thousands of people applied, and Jennie had no experience in the domain. So instead of a resume, she built a website. Canva launched Canva Websites the night before she planned to send it, so she rebuilt the entire thing on the product overnight. Then she spotted a line in Cliff's LinkedIn bio — "you're great, we're hiring" — and sent it to him directly.The interview process was two live challenges and a lot of real-time pushback. By the end of it, the role had been rewritten into something new: Leadership Operations, a chief-of-staff seat between the founders and the leadership team. Eighteen months later, Cliff called on a Sunday to offer her the top people job. Her first response was to ask if he'd lost his mind. She took it as an interim role. It's been years.Jennie is refreshingly clear that Canva hasn't figured everything out,  especially around parental leave re-onboarding, which she says most companies get wrong and hers is still actively learning. But what they have built is worth studying: managers are called coaches, performance reviews are called Growth and Impact, and every employee can anonymously submit to the Fix It Form, which has been running for roughly eight years and asks two questions — what's broken, and what's your solution.The conversation also gets into the support playbooks Canva built for grief and loss, family and domestic violence, and cancer and long illness — written with the employees who lived through those moments, and then open-sourced so any company can use them. One of them started as a single Fix It Form submission from someone who had lost their wife.And on hiring: Canva's CMO started as a communications intern. One of their AI researchers was found on a Discord community while he was stocking supermarket shelves. Those sit alongside senior hires from Zoom, Uber and Google — because the blend is where the value is.TOPICS COVERED:- Why hospitality is underrated training for building a people function- Getting hired with a website instead of a resume- The interview challenge that turned into a brand new role- Being offered the top people job with no HR background- Why culture is everyone's accountability, not the people team's- The Fix It Form — anonymous, always on, and it requires a solution- Why Canva calls managers "coaches" and reviews "Growth and Impact"- What a performance cycle looks like when it isn't a box-ticking exercise- Season openers and building public accountability into the calendar- Parental leave re-onboarding and why nobody has solved it yet- Building and open-sourcing the Grief and Loss guide- Talking about family and domestic violence at work- The risk of not talking about hard things- Finding talent internally and hiring for curiosity over pedigree- Using AI to draft the process, then keeping humans in the loopMost of this episode comes back to one idea. Jennie was hired into a role she was unqualified for on paper, by people who were looking for something other than a track record. Everything she has built since runs on the same logic — the AI researcher on Discord, the intern who became CMO, the engineers she invites to tear apart her own processes because they're the ones actually living inside them.Her closing challenge cuts both ways. If you're running an organization, the person who could take the next big step is probably already inside it, waiting for someone to bet on them. And if you're the one looking for what's next, the most interesting move might not be the logical one on paper — it might be the thing you're genuinely curious about.Which is why the line she keeps returning to isn't really about Canva at all:You don't join Canva to experience the culture. You join Canva to be the culture.Truth Works is hosted by Jessica Neal,  former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix, now in the business of telling the truth about how work really works.

Leadership development is not about checking boxes. It is about building the awareness, communication, trust, and consistency required to help people grow, perform, and feel safe enough to do meaningful work. LaTonya Wilkins brings a powerful conversation on what it really means to lead below the surface. From psychological safety and culture to coaching, delegation, community, and connection across differences, this master class challenges leaders to stop treating leadership like a static skillset and start looking at how leadership is actually experienced by the people they serve. Learn how to honestly rate your leadership by asking better questions: • How clear is your communication? • How do people experience you in meetings, emails, and difficult conversations? • Are you giving people the guardrails they need without making them too tight? • Are you creating hope, trust, compassion, and stability? • Are you developing people, or just expecting them to perform? • Are burnout, churn, poor delegation, and low trust signs of a deeper leadership problem? This conversation also explores why many leadership development programs fail because they rely on outdated models, performative culture work, and initiatives that were never truly embedded into the organization. Real culture cannot be reduced to perks, titles, slogans, or temporary programs. It has to show up in how leaders communicate, make decisions, build teams, manage change, and create belonging. LaTonya also brings a needed perspective on coaching and community in a noisy market where too many people sell quick fixes without doing the real work. Strong leadership, real coaching, and healthy culture are all relationship businesses. They require trust, self-awareness, accountability, and the right people around you at every stage. For executives, founders, HR leaders, coaches, consultants, people managers, and anyone responsible for leading others, this conversation is a reminder that real leadership still wins when it is rooted in trust, development, culture, coaching, and community.
