Tim joins me for this conversation with our good friend Josh Bradshaw. Josh first came into our lives when he started dating our long time friend, Maggie Amini. Josh and Maggie are now married and recently welcomed baby Ruby into their lives.And when I first heard Josh's story, I was enthralled. Sometimes God reminds us through testimony just how creative He is, and today we get to hear all about his childhood years in London, what eventually brought him to fall in love with Jesus, and the wild story of how he landed in Texas where he's lived and served in different ministry capacities for nearly 20 years. This conversation is full of hearty laughs and poignant moments as we talk about everything from culture shock, to pressures high schoolers face today, the 401k that is relationships, and what we pray for our children. Ahh, this is such a good one - I've been so eager to share it!Memorable Quotes:“My parents were genuinely living by faith.”“I believed in Jesus from a young age but didn't really want anything to do with him if he looked like that.”“I lied my way through the interview. I could just make stuff up because I grew up in church and I wanted to get out of the house, I wanted to do something different, I had no future with this failed high school transcript.”“I didn't hear the gospel part, just the soccer part.”“I think it's Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller where he talks about how he hated jazz music, and then he talks about how he went somewhere, probably New Orleans, and sees a guy playing jazz music, blood, sweat, and tears and goes - ‘wait that's jazz music? I like that.' It was the same for me and Jesus.”“All of a sudden, my 9-year old brother blurts out - ‘There's something different about Josh.' And no one really gave that any thought…but I went upstairs that night and said, ‘Jesus I don't know what you're doing, but I'm in.'”“One of my friends says that his 401k is relationships. And that's exactly what my life felt like.”Show Notes:Blue Like Jazz by Donald MillerJohn 10:10Psalm 42Subscribe to Josh's Substack where he writes on faith, marriage, work, and the everyday ways God shows up.
Danish life looks simple from the outside. Once you live it, the real story is all the unspoken rules, paperwork surprises, language wins, social misfires, and the very real difference between Denmark PR and Denmark reality.Derek Hartman and Brooke Black sit down with Ilana Buhl and Brooke Fossey, known online as The Lykke Charm and Nearly Danish Dame, to take a brutally honest temperature check on culture shock. The conversation moves far beyond honeymoon-phase optimism into the messier stages of adjustment, frustration, and acceptance, where everyday life in Denmark can still leave you feeling both proud and completely lost.More Episodes with Ilana Buhl:Having a Baby in DenmarkDanish School vs International School More Episodes with Brooke Fossey:How to Develop a Danish Language MindsetAn American Goes to Folkemøde
On this week's rerun episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Eyedress. Born in Manila, Eyedress came to the US at five years old, moving through Arizona and California — discovering punk and skate culture along the way — before his family returned to the Philippines when he was 15. After years of self-releasing lo-fi bedroom recordings and slowly building an online following, he broke through with 2020's Let's Skip to the Wedding, which spawned global hits "Jealous" and "Romantic Lover" and eventually led to a deal with RCA. Since then, he's collaborated with artists like Mac DeMarco, King Krule, and Harmony Korine, carving out a sound that's equal parts woozy, nostalgic, and entirely his own. Eyedress and Joel dig into his journey from a rough childhood to building a life and family on his own terms, the anxiety that still follows him even after years of success, and why he believes the biggest leap of faith he ever took was also the best decision he ever made.

Robert Horry is broadcasting this week's show from Reykjavik, Iceland, where he's running a basketball camp — and naturally, that means a special edition of Where in the World Is Robert Horry before the guys even get to basketball talk. Big Shot Bob and Rob Jenners hold things down while B-Dawg keeps him honest on the Iceland details (yes, it really is closer to England than you'd think). Once the travel talk wraps, the crew dives into a loaded NBA news week. The Dodgers' trade for Tarik Skubal has LA fans wondering if the Lakers can pull off something similar, but Rob Horry isn't buying a big splash — the roster's full and the pool to jump in is more kiddie-sized than Olympic. From there it's Klay Thompson trade buzz, with reports connecting him back to Los Angeles or Miami, and a real conversation about what he'd actually bring to a team defensively at this stage of his career. The extension talk gets serious with Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, and Karl-Anthony Towns all eligible for new deals — and the guys dig into whether AD's injury history and KAT's apron situation in New York make those moves less likely than people think. That leads into the biggest storyline of the week: is it actually time for Golden State to consider life after Steph? Horry and Harper break down the Warriors' rough draft history since 2012, why Jonathan Kuminga still doesn't have a landing spot, and what a real Steph Curry trade market might even look like. Plus: the Kawhi Leonard investigation drags into 2027, Victor Wembanyama gets his own signature Nike shoe, Chris Bosh reveals a scary health scare from earlier this year, Kelsey Plum gets traded to the Phoenix Mercury, and Kendrick Perkins' top-5-in-the-East list gets torched. All that, a big shout to a teenage lifeguard hero, and Robert Horry defending his Where in the World title from six thousand miles away.

Want a quick estimate of how much your business is worth? With our free valuation calculator, answer a few questions about your business, and you'll get an immediate estimate of the value of your business. You might be surprised by how much you can get for it: https://flippa.com/exit What makes a business truly valuable to a buyer, and how do you know when it is actually time to sell? In this episode of The Exit, Steve McGarry sits down with Mike Krupit, founder and CEO of Trajectify, to unpack the leadership decisions that can make or break an exit. Drawing on a career that includes eight startups, three IPOs, an exit, and four failures, Mike explains why founders who remain at the center of everything can become a liability to their own business. He shares how putting the right people in the right seats, documenting critical processes, building strong systems, and delegating real authority can create a healthier and more valuable company. Mike also explores why the best time to sell is often when the business is performing well but approaching its next major plateau, and why founders need to prepare for what happens after the transaction before signing the deal. Steve and Mike discuss preserving company culture through an acquisition or IPO, communicating with employees when an exit process must remain confidential, evaluating leadership teams from the buy side, and avoiding the culture shock that can follow a major transaction. Whether you are actively preparing to sell or simply want to build a business that can thrive without you, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for creating a stronger, more transferable company. Mike Krupit is the founder and CEO of Trajectify, where he advises entrepreneurs, executives, and leadership teams on business growth, organizational development, and major transitions. A veteran of eight startups, Mike has held roles ranging from CTO to COO to CEO and has experienced three IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, and business failures throughout his career. Since founding Trajectify in 2013, he has focused on helping growth stage companies strengthen their leadership, align their people and processes, and successfully navigate the next stage of growth or an exit.

Kasey Hagan grew up in England — and moving to America as a teenager with his father introduced him to a culture that was completely different from everything he had ever known. He got big into sports found his footing and decided he wanted to help people. He started as an animal control officer in his late teens responding to calls that most people never imagine exist. Then he discovered his first dead body on the job. Eventually Kasey became a Florida cop. For three years he responded to the worst calls dealt with the mental health weight that the job never properly prepares you for and witnessed the fundamental problems with policing that nobody in training ever talks about. The calls that haunted him. The culture that wore him down. The truth about law enforcement that only someone who lived it can tell. Then he quit. To build a content creation platform with his wife Christie — who was also a cop he met on the job — that generated hundreds of thousands of dollars. _____________________________________________ #florida #police #cops _____________________________________________ Connect with Kasey Hagan: https://www.instagram.com/kc_in_motion_/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 British Cop Who Left Law Enforcement for Content Creation — Full Story 03:50 Adjusting to Life in America and What That Culture Shock Really Looked Like 06:46 High School Differences Between England and America and the Sports World He Discovered 11:10 His First Steps Toward Law Enforcement and What Drew Him to the Job 15:15 Animal Control Stories That Will Shock You — Where Everything Really Started 19:00 Animal Cruelty Cases and the Dog Adoptions That Defined That Chapter 22:00 The Most Common Cruelty Cases and the Hoarding Situations Nobody Prepares You For 25:56 The Psychology Behind Animal Abusers and What the Research Really Shows 28:59 England Versus America on Animal Issues — the Differences That Shocked Him Most 31:02 Florida Wildlife and the Crazy Exotic Pets That Defined That World 34:30 His Transition From Animal Control to Police Work and What That Required 37:32 Applying to Become a Cop — the Process Most People Never Hear About 42:00 Police Academy Versus Real Life Policing — What Nobody Tells You Before You Start 45:16 His First Calls and What Training on the Job Really Looked Like 49:45 The Culture Shock of American Law Enforcement From a British Officer's Perspective 54:22 The Mental Health Toll of Policing and the Coping Mechanisms That Got Him Through 59:00 Changing Agencies and What the Team Dynamics Really Looked Like 01:04:03 The Rough Calls That Still Stay With Him and the Emotional Impact They Left 01:09:00 The Challenges Inside the Policing System That Nobody Talks About Publicly 01:13:10 Meeting Christy and What Relationship Life Really Looks Like Inside Law Enforcement 01:17:00 His Transition to Content Creation and What That Decision Really Required 01:21:30 Morality Purpose and the Life Changes That Followed Leaving Law Enforcement 01:25:00 His Injury His Back Surgery and What the Recovery Process Really Required 01:29:06 Life After Policing and What Finding Purpose Again Actually Looked Like 01:31:26 His Advice for Anyone Considering a Career in Law Enforcement 01:32:54 His Closing Thoughts and the Fun Revelations He Wants Everyone to Hear _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Zoe Bell is the Executive Producer of Games at The New York Times. If you've played Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee, Strands, Letter Boxed, the Mini, or the Crossword, you've played something she helped build or bring to life. NYT has nearly 13 million subscribers, which includes the game business that features some ads but no in-app purchases and no battle pass.The players run from your group chat to the Vatican. The Pope has mentioned doing the Wordle in interviews, and Carol Burnett's celebrity Wordle group, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Charlize Theron, went on Jimmy Kimmel to accuse her of cheating. Her defense: there's no way to cheat at Wordle, and solving it in one guess is just an accident.Zoe sits down with Jen Donahoe to explain how a newspaper that has run for 175 years became one of the biggest names in games. They get into why the team kills 96% of the games it tries, how a subscription model reshapes the way they design and measure success, and what it takes to launch Crossplay, a full multiplayer layer on games that are fundamentally solo.They also talk about making every puzzle by hand while the rest of the industry automates, and where AI earns a place when human craft is the whole point. For anyone building games, this one is a window into the economics and the discipline behind one of the most envied portfolios in the business.CHAPTERS:00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:03 From Zynga to Times03:40 Culture Shock at NYT05:53 Respecting Game Expertise07:36 Apps and Platforms10:13 Subscription Monetization14:13 Who Plays These Games18:31 Democratic Game Ideation21:13 Greenlight to Launch Pipeline24:36 Testing Markets and Kill Rate26:00 Killing Prototypes Fast26:37 Morale With Low Hit Rates28:43 Testing Before Soft Launch29:19 KPIs And Portfolio Fit30:31 UA In Subscription Games36:46 Streaks And Crossplay Bonds39:14 AI Human Puzzles First46:32 What's Next And Submissions48:17 Hiring And Tech Stack

The Worst It'll Ever Be: AI Apps in 20 Minutes, SpaceX's $1.8T IPO & Saylor's Head Fake — Bad Crypto Podcast #810 It's a bear market, so the bad boys of crypto are doing what builders do: SHIPPING. Bitcoin sits at $61,873, the altcoins are in the crapper, and Joel has officially divorced his bags. Travis explains why the 4-year cycle is alive and well — mapping this pullback exactly to previous cycles, with a projected bottom around mid-October. Then it goes full mad-scientist. Travis builds a viral-worthy "Culture Shock" site of World Cup visitors reviewing America in 20 minutes flat with Claude's new Fable model, then ships Viddl — a desktop app that downloads video from YouTube, X, TikTok, Instagram or LinkedIn with FFmpeg baked in. Joel premieres his AI-generated origin story film (1978, a food court paycheck, and a TRS-80 in a Radio Shack window) and announces his Acumen daily puzzle games are headed to the App Store. Plus: SpaceX IPOs as $SPCX at a $1.8 TRILLION valuation with ~$250B in demand, OpenAI and Anthropic file to go public, Michael Saylor's 32-BTC head fake, a trader who built his own exchange from a 42-page prompt, and the AI video tool stack the guys actually use (Kling, PAI, Higgsfield, Seedance & more).

Jon Muq on Captive Audiences, Culture Shock in Austin, and Writing Joyful Songs | Curious Goldfish (30A Songwriters Fest)At the 30A Songwriters Festival, host Jason English interviews Ugandan-born, Austin-based musician Jon Muq about his unusual path into music and life in the U.S. Jon describes learning English through singing, first to homeless children in Uganda and later as a cruise-ship performer building a 250+ song repertoire, plus how “We Are the World” sparked his belief his voice could “fit in a tune.” He recounts arriving in Austin for a refugee fundraiser during SXSW, navigating community and dating culture differences, and developing his English fluency through music. Jon discusses his debut English album "Flying Away," including writing “Butterflies,” his moment-driven songwriting approach for a second album, his philosophy of posting content without chasing metrics, and launching the Afrobeats-focused label/event project Shake It Africa, while reflecting on stress, authenticity, and the future of the music industry amid new technology.00:00 Wild Austin First Date01:06 Podcast Intro And Guest Setup03:10 30A Festival Vibes05:15 Back To Uganda After Years07:02 Music As Language Training08:04 Singing For Street Kids09:25 We Are The World Spark11:48 Cruise Ship Bootcamp13:23 Landing In Austin By Chance16:03 Finding Community In Austin16:55 Community and Offense17:26 Dating Culture Shock19:12 Connection Versus Work19:46 Visa and First Gigs20:24 Flying Away Album21:45 Butterflies Backstory23:05 Writing in the Moment25:28 Artist Mindset and Ambition26:57 Happy Songs and Stress28:44 Content Pressure and Identity30:34 Shake It Africa Plans32:07 Curiosity and Future Tech34:01 Runaway Live Performance
Yo Quiero Dinero: A Personal Finance Podcast For the Modern Latina
What does it actually look like to not become a statistic? Dr. Xochilt Alamillo — Chicana therapist, PhD, business coach, podcast host, and retreat creator — is the living proof. She grew up in Compton, moved to Colorado as a teenager and experienced full-on culture shock, fell into the wrong crowd, and ended up with a criminal record by 20. Fast forward through community college, side hustles, three kids, and a whole lot of tunnel vision: she became the Latina therapist she couldn't find when she needed one most. In this episode, Dr. Xochilt and Jannese get into ALL of it — bicultural stress, emotional neglect in Latino families, what healing actually looks like (spoiler: it's not the cute Instagram version), survivor guilt as a first-gen cycle breaker, and how she built multiple income streams as a therapist while everyone in her field was taking a so-called vow of poverty.WE GET INTO: 00:00 – Welcome and Intro: Meet Dr. Xochilt Alamillo02:02 – Growing Up in Compton: Not Knowing What You Don't Know04:22 – Culture Shock, the Wrong Crowd, and a Criminal Record08:25 – Becoming the Latina Therapist She Couldn't Find10:24 – First-Gen Resilience and Why It Can Also Hurt You11:00 – The Biggest Mental Health Struggles Latinas Carry in Silence12:31 – When "Being Strong" Becomes Self-Abandonment14:05 – Bicultural Stress: Not Latino Enough, Not American Enough19:52 – Emotional Neglect: The Harm We Normalize in Latino Families24:53 – What Healing Actually Looks Like (It's a Process, Not a Glow-Up)29:04 – Survivor Guilt and the Weight of Being the Enlightened One34:37 – Navigating Family Expectations vs. Your Ideal Life36:45 – Why Finding Your People Is Non-Negotiable37:45 – Debunking Therapy Stigma in the Latino Community43:32 – Dr. Xochilt's Entrepreneurial Journey as a Therapist47:46 – Hosting Latina-Only Healing Retreats (Including One in Oaxaca!)51:22 – The First Step Out of Survival ModeKEY TAKEWAYS:Being rejected by both your culture and mainstream America has serious mental health consequences, and you didn't make it up.Anxiety in Latinas isn't just personal worry. It's your whole family's future sitting on your chest, and the weight is not yours alone to carry.Emotional neglect is one of the most normalized (and damaging) patterns in Latino households. Naming it isn't talking trash on your cultura but the first step to changing it.Healing is not a cute Instagram journey. It hurts. But the goal isn't a pain-free life, it's being equipped to handle whatever comes your way.Survivor guilt is real when you're the first to "make it out." Surrounding yourself with people who get it is how you stay grounded.Therapy doesn't have to look like a couch and a notepad. It's a conversation with someone who has no skin in the game.When therapy isn't accessible, lean into what your cultura already does well: cafecito with amigas, curanderismo, time outside — do more of it with intention.Therapists: you do not have to take a vow of poverty. Retreats, groups, trainings, and coaching are all legitimate income streams.Finding your people — online or off — is one of the most radical acts of self-preservation a first-gen woman can make.CONNECT WITH DR.

Army infantry veteran Tyler Hoover shares the truth about serving in the U.S. Army, going through airborne school, deploying to Iraq, surviving the constant threat of EFPs and IEDs, and trying to come home after war. Tyler opens up to Urban Valor about Army basic training, the culture shock of infantry life, Fort Bragg, the 82nd Airborne, Baghdad in 2008, convoy missions, lead truck gunner danger, post-deployment drinking, losing friends, and the reality of veteran reintegration after combat.Tyler talks about joining the Army after seeing the war on TV, signing an infantry contract, losing his Ranger contract, becoming airborne, getting sent to Iraq, and realizing that some days survival came down to nothing more than a left turn or a right turn.But the most powerful part of this story may not be Iraq itself.It's what happened after.The alcohol. The car crashes. The murders. The friends who didn't make it home emotionally, even when they physically made it back. Tyler's story is a reminder that war does not always end when the deployment does.Chapters: 00:00 - Intro: Crazy Army Stories & Close Calls01:26 - Growing Up in Pennsylvania & Virginia02:21 - Playing in Bands & Learning Branding02:45 - Growing Up as a Cop's Son05:04 - Why Tyler Decided to Join the Military07:46 - Trying to Join the Marines08:26 - Joining the Army Infantry08:45 - Signing a Ranger Contract09:47 - Arriving at Army Basic Training10:51 - Finding Out He Was a Mortarman12:37 - Culture Shock in the Army17:09 - Drill Sergeants, Integrity & War Prep21:58 - Army Airborne School24:03 - Getting in Trouble With an Officer25:50 - The Army Friends Who Never Made It26:28 - Getting Sent to Fort Bragg28:34 - Assigned to the Support Battalion29:42 - Finally Getting Sent to the Line30:23 - Deploying to Baghdad, Iraq30:52 - EFPs, IEDs & Convoy Danger31:58 - Life as the Lead Truck Gunner34:37 - The Left Turn That Saved His Life36:26 - Living Like Every Day Was Extra37:19 - The Photo That Got Him in Trouble39:58 - Coming Home From Iraq40:42 - Losing Friends After Deployment42:18 - Why Coming Home Is So Hard43:35 - Drinking, DUI & Leaving the Army51:14 - Becoming a Police Officer51:57 - Working Night Shift in Orlando52:27 - The Baby Not Breathing Call57:05 - The McDonald's SWAT Call59:21 - The Adrenaline Crash After the Call1:00:37 - Why Police Work Wasn't Like the Military1:02:06 - Getting Kicked Off SWAT1:05:03 - The Clothing Line That Caused Problems1:06:20 - Starting the Anti-Hero Podcast1:08:11 - Turning the Podcast Into a Broadcast1:09:07 - Building a Community for the 99%1:10:23 - Why Regular Veterans Get Overlooked1:12:01 - Smoke Pit Humor & Veteran Culture1:18:07 - Lessons From Military & Police Work1:19:02 - What the Anti-Hero Broadcast Is Today1:20:25 - Final Thoughts on Regular Service Members

Back with another culture shock from India. This time, stray dogs. I got chased twice during my trip and the two experiences could not have been more different! The first time was not my finest moment. The second time, I surprised even myself. This episode is a bit embarrassing, a bit scary, and maybe useful if you ever travel to India

Hugh Hallman, Attorney, Educator, and former Mayor of Tempe, joins Seth in studio for the full hour to talk with special guest Khosro Isfahani, Research Director of the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI), on his piece today at The Washington Post, “I saw America vilified in Iran. Then came the culture shock.” Isfahani shares his personal story of coming to America as a refugee from Iran, where he experienced the regime's brutal suppression of dissent and the constant refrain of "death to America." The discussion also touches on the importance of education and the need for a clear public investigation into foreign influence in American academic institutions. Isfahani also explores the idea that the United States is a beacon of hope for people around the world, and that its values of freedom and democracy are worth fighting for.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
ただいま〜!I'm back! I spent two months in India planning to take a complete break — no work, no podcast, nothing. But interesting things just kept happening, and I couldn't not share them. In this episode, I talk about two unexpected experiences: a spontaneous trip to a local dentist, and a little surprise moment with a food delivery app. Nothing huge, but the kind of thing that makes you go — oh, this is so India.

Pooja Bavishi grew up knowing exactly who she was at home. Gujarati Jain, deeply proud of her heritage, fluent in the language of her culture and her family. But the moment her family moved from an inclusive tight-knit community in Pennsylvania to Charlotte, North Carolina, something shifted. The world around her didn't accept her fully, and for years she couldn't fully explain why. In this episode of Sense of Self, Dr. Gowri Aragam sits down with Pooja Bavishi, founder of Malai, a Brooklyn-based ice cream company that has become one of the most beloved and culturally significant food brands in the country. What starts as a conversation about ice cream quickly becomes something much deeper. A story about belonging, about the cost of feeling othered, about the defense mechanisms we build to protect ourselves, and about what happens when you stop waiting for a community that feels like home and decide to build one yourself. One flavor at a time.

Jacob Bittner was a teenager from a good home when a series of bad decisions led to 12 years in the Arkansas prison system. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Jacob breaks down how it all unraveled — from his first robbery, to going on the run, to pulling off another one and paying for it with over a decade of his life. He opens up about surviving the violence and harsh realities of Arkansas prisons, the lessons he learned the hard way, and the twist nobody saw coming — after his release, he fell in love with and married a prison guard. _____________________________________________ #Prison #TrueCrime #LockedIn _____________________________________________ Thank you to RAYCON & INCOGNI for sponsoring this episode: Raycon: The Everyday Earbuds Classic are the perfect addition to your everyday routine.
