Maryland's Online Data Privacy Act is officially in effect, but businesses still have time to prepare before enforcement begins in 2026. The law introduces some of the toughest rules yet on sensitive data, minors' privacy, and algorithmic assessments—creating new compliance challenges even for companies already following other state laws. This episode breaks down the key takeaways and practical steps businesses can take to stay ahead. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Aaron J. Burstein and Austin J. Del Priore.

What if it wasn't the massive accomplishments or big milestones that positively impacted your life the most? What if it was the way you overcame all the unexpected challenges along the way?That's exactly what my coaching client, and today's podcast guest, Minda Heyman, discovered when I asked her this question.From finding out she was neurodivergent in her 40s to being unexpectedly laid off, Minda realized those challenging moments were actually the ones that transformed her life the most — becoming powerful catalysts for growth, resilience and stepping into her power.If you're ready to stop seeing your challenges as failures — and start recognizing them as proof of your strength and greatness — this conversation is for you.IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:How to reframe life's unexpected challenges as powerful turning points for growth.What happens when you stop trying to “fit in” and start honoring your unique rhythm, needs, and truth.Why doing it all on your own might be blocking the very support and ease you've been craving.Learning to love the parts of yourself you once judged, and why self-compassion is the foundation for true connection.Seeing your life as a living garden — one you can tend, celebrate, and grow with every season.

In this episode, I'm joined by John Mailander, a fearless and lyrical fiddler/violinist whose work bridges bluegrass, jazz, ambient improvisation, and songcraft. We trace his path from San Diego to Berklee (where he studied American Roots with mentor Darol Anger) to Nashville, where he found a close-knit community that's as experimental as it is supportive. John discusses the city's “weirdo music” scene, ambient nights, free improvisation, and oddball collaborations, and how that energy coexists alongside the touring calendar. We dig into his life-changing chair with Bruce Hornsby: the no-setlist ethos, learning the “top 80” deep-cut originals, living on the edge together, and the night Bruce rearranged the stage so John could stand next to John Scofield, then kept tossing them intertwined solos all evening. John shares recent runs with Sam Grisman (with hero Peter Rowan onboard), producing and recording more from Nashville, and the origin of his own band Forecast, a genre-porous collective inspired by Bill Frisell, Brian Blade Fellowship, Pat Metheny/Brad Mehldau, and Joni Mitchell. We talk through the new record Let the World In: how residency nights at Dee's in Madison shaped the tunes, why the drums sound so alive, and why he welcomes rotating lineups to hear the same music through new lenses. Teaching and mentorship thread through the conversation: passing on what was given to him (formally and backstage between songs), honoring influences like Matt Mundy (ARU/Bruce Hampton), and why the point isn't “pushing boundaries” as a goal but playing honestly enough that the music pushes itself. It's a generous, grounded conversation about trust, curiosity, and letting the music lead.To learn more about John, visit his website.

Game 2 of the Illini men's basketball season is tonight! Florida Gulf Coast comes to town and we'll preview the game. Plus, Alex Martin from the Naples Daily News calls in to tell us about the FGC roster. And Kurtis has your Friday Curveballs that could injure Evan!

Illini Basketball head coach Brad Underwood met with the media today before tomorrow night's game against Florida Gulf Coast. Coach Underwood gave the latest injury report, talked about defensive concerns, and who will be starting week to week.  Plus we check the other big Illini headlines for today and Kurtis throws a Curveball that hits himself!

Ever blink at 4 p.m. and wonder where your day went? We've been there—busy all day yet weirdly light on results. This conversation lays out a distraction detox that replaces chaos with clarity using two simple moves: track the curveballs that hit you and cage the squirrels you chase. The payoff isn't just productivity; it's the calm that comes from finishing what matters most.We start by exposing curveballs—emails, calls, texts, “got a minute?” visits—that shred focus. By writing each one down and reviewing at week's end, you'll spot repeat sources and install better systems: scheduled check-ins, shared priorities, response windows, and clearer urgency signals. Fewer drive-bys, fewer pivots, more deep work. Then we turn inward to the squirrel cage, where ideas and impulses hijack momentum. Instead of fighting creativity, we give it a home: a capture list that preserves the spark without blowing up the plan. You can explore later; right now, you execute.We also walk through the Daily Domination Board, a simple Trello or paper setup that helps you commit to a realistic daily limit, move tasks to Done, and earn a reward: no squirrel time until the essentials are complete. That tiny rule rewires motivation and kills the “busy but not done” cycle. To seal it, we share a surprisingly effective bonus: visible do-not-disturb cues. A red headset, a desk sign, or a clear status teaches your environment to respect your focus, especially during morning deep work.If you're tired of scrambling, try this: track curveballs, cage squirrels, protect your best hours, and let systems carry the load. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a friend who's drowning in distractions, and leave a quick review to tell us what you'll implement first.Set the stage for an amazing new year with the Self First Framework.https://calendly.com/jesse04/self-first-webinar Download a PDF copy of Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Behttps://www.depthbuilder.com/books
