Podcasts about Dillard

CJ sits down with Lauren Dillard, CFO of LiveRamp, whose path to the CFO seat ran through investor relations, communications, and even a year as interim CMO. They dig into why storytelling and influence matter as much as technical finance chops, how LiveRamp tore down and rebuilt its entire commercial model — collapsing 25+ usage metrics into 5 and inventing the "token" along the way.—SPONSORS:Brex is an intelligent finance platform that combines corporate cards, built-in expense management, and AI agents to eliminate manual finance work.

The Remarkable Retail podcast turns six. Steve Dennis opens with the macro picture: inflation remains stubborn, driven largely by fuel. U.S. diesel just hit an all-time high, regular gas is up 36% year over year, and retailers absorbing higher freight costs say they're nearing their breaking point. Michael LeBlanc adds that diesel is almost perfectly correlated with food inflation, and that Canadian retailers expect fuel surcharges to persist into early 2027.The hosts review the first holiday forecasts. Deloitte projects 4 to 4.8% growth for November through January, with e-commerce up about 8%; Bain sees 4.5% growth and roughly 9% online over November and December. Steve wonders whether high fuel costs could push more shoppers online.At Macy's Inc., Bloomingdale's posted its highest comp ever at 11.3%, while the Macy's nameplate managed just over 1%, in line with Dillard's. Coresight's mid-year data shows store closings down 44% against an unusually heavy prior year, openings at their lowest since 2020, and a widening gap between scarce A-quality space and struggling B, C and D properties. Toys R Us is betting big, planning 120 more small-format U.S. stores before the holidays, though Michael notes the concept stumbled in Canada.The centerpiece: Steve's Pardon the Disruption post arguing that "the race to the doorstep is escalating." With Amazon rolling out sub-same-day delivery in as little as 30 minutes and holding roughly 40% of e-commerce, most retailers can at best match the offering through store fulfillment and gig partners like Instacart and DoorDash, at far worse economics. The smarter play: reach delivery parity where it matters and compete on reasons beyond ultra-convenience. Both hosts agree traditional grocers sit squarely in the bullseye as Amazon moves from the everything store to the everyday store.In earning news Inditex posted a 9% August sales gain, Zara plans 20 new U.S. stores, and sister brand Bershka is expanding fast from Miami to New York, India and Brazil. Kroger's sales were flat and guidance was cut, with retail media (up 24%) the lone bright spot.On the radar screen: Target Beauty Studio replaces Ulta shops in about 600 Target stores, and Michael shares insights from his quarterly retailer conversations on AI's ROI, including a McKinsey finding that change-management costs run roughly three times the technology itself, plus the shock of seat-based bills and exhausted token budgets. About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

KJ Dillard is the definition of a multi-hyphenate. Before he became a Summer House fan favorite, KJ was a professional skateboarder, genre-defying musician, and model. How has he managed to achieve all of these dreams so fervently? He won't allow anyone to put him in a box. Growing up in Kansas and Arizona, KJ learned early on how to adapt to different circumstances. Initially, he was part of a well-to-do community, but his parents' divorce shifted everything, and he soon found himself in an entirely new world. KJ leaned into his interests and started a band with friends from church, where he rapped and sang as their frontman. He also began to take skateboarding seriously, even though it wasn't very popular. KJ became engrossed in skate culture, obsessing over its rebellious nature and style. His interest blossomed into a nearly ten-year career as a professional skateboarder, during which he inadvertently invented a never-before-seen trick and attracted the attention of the entire skating community. Like that accidentally career-defining moment, KJ seems destined for greatness, no matter the medium.As the first Black male Summer House castmate, KJ had to learn to navigate the new world of reality television with millions of eyes watching. Ever graceful, he's taking the lessons and carrying them into another season. In our conversation, we talk about what it means to give yourself grace when you live and date in the public eye, and how he manages the pressure of being “the first.” KJ models the kind of transparency he hopes inspires other men to open up and share more deeply about what they're feeling. He opened up about his childhood experiences with living with undiagnosed ADHD and having to live with his grandmother. KJ shares that his love for skateboarding has never left him and now serves as a space for self-care. We also cover his return to music and how excited he is to try a new genre and sound. As is his nature, KJ is turning back to the creative outlets that brought him joy as a kid, except now he's sharing them with the world.Tune in as we discuss:0:00 Welcome KJ4:05 Preparing For The Spotlight5:00 Growing Up In Arizona and Kansas5:25 How His Parents' Divorce Changed Their Lives6:25 His Early ADHD Symptoms7:25 KJ's Relationship With His Grandmother8:10 Comparing His Life To His Cousins9:35 Why He Chases Success10:00 KJ's Introduction To Skateboard Culture11:50 The 90s Black Skateboarders Who Inspired Him12:45 Unspoken Skateboard Rules 13:30 His Favorite Skateboard Looks15:50 Iconic Skateboard Brands17:45 Accidentally Inventing A Skateboard Trick20:25 Navigating Reality Television23:15 His Awkward Tyler The Creator Meetup30:00 Pre-Public Appearance Prep30:45 Why KJ Gatekeeps Some Things31:50 His Signature Look33:45 When He Became Interested In Music39:15 Microagressions In The Fashion Industry40:12 Dating In The Public Eye41:25 What He's Learning About Himself 42:20 Emotional Vulnerability Among Friends43:55 KJ's Self-Care Routine45:45 When He Feels The Most BeautifulRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on AppleJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanetThanks for all the love and support.

In this episode, Nicole and Diana discuss Phase 5, Part 5 of Diana's ongoing research project to identify the biological father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Diana evaluates three specific candidates who drew land in Cass County, Georgia, during the 1832 Gold Lottery: James Dillard of Pulaski County, Joseph B. Dillard of Oglethorpe County, and Tolliver Dillard of Burke County. Nicole outlines the project scope and historical context, highlighting significant record destruction caused by courthouse fires in Cass and Burke counties. Diana explains how she organizes her research report using her Airtable log entries. She eliminates James Dillard because 1830 census records show he was single at the time, and she rules out Joseph B. Dillard because he was only thirteen years old when Cynthia was born. Tolliver Dillard becomes the primary candidate based on census placeholder analysis, tax digests, headright grants, and land lottery draws that align with Cynthia's timeline. The hosts also examine genetic evidence to support the documentary findings. Diana re-annotates an autosomal DNA network graph, demonstrating that matches across multiple branches of Cynthia's descendants share DNA with descendants of Elijah Dillard, pointing to a sibling relationship. She also explains her Y-DNA testing initiative, which recruits male Dillard descendants to trace Elijah's patriline and compare results against the Dillard Surname Project. Listeners learn how to correlate indirect evidence in burned counties, structure a comprehensive research report, use AI tools to assist in drafting report summaries, and integrate autosomal and Y-DNA evidence to solve complex genealogical brick walls. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.  Links Finding a Father for Cynthia: Phase 5 – Part 5: Report Writing – Analysis & Correlation - https://familylocket.com/finding-a-father-for-cynthia-phase-5-part-5-report-writing-analysis-correlation/ Report: Cynthia Dillard Father Candidate Phase 5 August 2026 - https://familylocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Cynthia-Dillard-Father-Candidate-Phase-5-Report-August-2026.pdf Sponsor – Newspapers.com For listeners of this podcast, Newspapers.com is offering new subscribers 20% off a Publisher Extra subscription so you can start exploring today.

Reposted from Walking Dead ‘Cast, which you can find at: https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-cast-of-us — Ben and Alex are back one last time to close the book on The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, turning the microphones over to the Zedheads for their thoughts on the finale, “Tenebrae,” and the season as a whole. This week, they dig into a huge batch of listener feedback while revisiting Maggie and Negan's remarkable evolution, Hershel's transformation into one of the season's biggest surprises, the impact of characters like Luis, Renata and Dillard, and why the seemingly disconnected pieces of the season ultimately came together to tell a much bigger story. Along the way, they unpack some fantastic callbacks and symbolism listeners caught, debate what a potential Season 4 could look like, and speculate about whether Dead City could eventually become a meeting point for characters from across the larger Walking Dead universe. Most importantly, Ben and Alex take some time to thank everyone who watched, listened, wrote in, called, theorized, disagreed, overthought things and went off on countless tangents with them throughout the season. The Dead City coverage may be finished for now, but the Zedheads made this season one hell of a ride. And yes... there are still plenty of completely unnecessary tangents along the way.

Ben and Alex are back to break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 finale, Episode 8, “Tenebrae,” as Maggie, Negan and Hershel fight to take back Manhattan and one of the strongest seasons of Dead City yet comes to a close. This week, they dive into the final showdown with Dillard, Hershel stepping into his own as a leader, and the huge emotional payoff to Maggie and Negan's evolving relationship. They also discuss how seemingly every piece of Season 3 ultimately mattered, Maggie finally embracing the kind of leader she can become, and why the finale feels less like the end of a story and more like a soft reboot launching Dead City into something much bigger. Plus, plenty of listener feedback on “Hourglass,” thoughts on Season 3 as a whole, speculation about where Maggie and Negan could go from here, and whether the show may finally be positioning itself to reconnect with the larger Walking Dead universe.

This week, they dive into the final showdown with Dillard, Hershel stepping into his own as a leader, and the huge emotional payoff to Maggie and Negan's evolving relationship.

September 6, 2026

Ben and Alex are back to break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, Episode 7, “Hourglass,” as the penultimate episode delivers the payoff to several storylines that have been building all season and leaves them desperate to see what happens next. This week, they dive into Dillard's transformation into the threat hiding in plain sight, Renata's struggle to hold onto her ideals, and some of the strongest Maggie and Negan material Dead City has given us yet. They also discuss how “Genesis” changes the way they view Maggie and Negan's relationship, Negan's surprising vulnerability and desire for Maggie to find her happy ending, Maggie's connection with Luis, and whether Dillard really is the season's “big bad” or simply the latest test in a season where survival itself has been the real enemy. Plus, a ton of listener feedback on “Genesis,” theories and predictions heading into the Season 3 finale, and plenty of the usual tangents along the way.

In this episode, Nicole and Diana discuss part 4 of Diana's 5th project to search for the father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston, focusing on research logging and source citations. Diana explains how she uses the Airtable template, "RLP with DNA 4.2 (2026)," to organize her project and enter data for key DNA matches. Nicole details the real-time logging process, noting how they enter data in either row or form views. To organize her research on three candidates—James, Joseph, and Tolliver Dillard—Diana groups her log entries by person and sorts them chronologically to create distinct timelines. The hosts also explain how to quickly write citations using a layered model that divides a citation into digital and physical components. Using a FamilySearch image of a Cherokee County, Georgia deed as an example, they demonstrate how to construct the digital layer with the database name, URL, Image Group Number, and image number. They then build the physical layer by adding the original record creator, book and page numbers, and specific deed details. Listeners learn how to apply this systematic citation formula to deeds, probate, court, and tax records, making their genealogy research highly organized and easy to replicate.

In this episode, Diana and Nicole discuss Phase 5, Part 3 of the search for Cynthia (Dillard) Royston's biological father. They review the known facts about Cynthia's life using census, tax, and estate records, as well as death certificates of her children. Diana presents her hypothesis focusing on three Dillard men who drew lots in the 1832 Gold Lottery in Cass County, Georgia: James Dillard, Joseph B. Dillard, and Roliver Dillard. She explains how they previously eliminated thirteen other Dillard candidates. They also explain how DNA evidence identifies Elijah Dillard as Cynthia's probable biological brother, which helps narrow down their shared father's location in Georgia by 1814. The hosts outline their prioritized research strategy, dividing it into documentary research and DNA analysis. For documentary evidence, they plan to survey online trees, analyze censuses, search probate records, and look through Georgia newspapers. For DNA, they focus on using Ancestry Pro Tools, analyzing network graphs, and finding the most recent common ancestor through custom clustering. Listeners will learn how to build a methodical research plan that keeps research focused. They will also learn how to write a hypothesis, prioritize a wide range of source records, and combine traditional paper trails with DNA tools to overcome tough genealogical brick walls.

KJ Dillard joins The Jamir Smith Show for a conversation that goes beyond the spotlight. From his new single “Girls in NY” and joining Bravo's Summer House to fashion, skateboarding, mental health and becoming the first Black male cast member in the show's history, KJ opens up about identity, representation and staying grounded as his platform grows. We also get into the women who shaped him, finding himself in New York and the person he refuses to lose along the way.

Ben and Alex are back to break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, Episode 5, “Imperialis,” as the struggle to rebuild Manhattan begins exposing some serious cracks beneath the surface. This week, they dive into the formation of the wonderfully bizarre Dead Squad, the growing divide over how this new society should be governed, Dillard finally finding a group where he belongs, and the increasingly complicated dynamic between Maggie and Negan. But it's the episode's shocking final confrontation that really gets the conversation going, as Ben and Alex debate whether Negan crossed a line—or simply did what no one else was willing to do. Plus, plenty of listener feedback, theories about the developing power struggle between Maggie, Renata and Negan, some speculation about where the final three episodes could take us, and the usual assortment of wonderfully inappropriate detours along the way.

Ben and Alex are back to break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, Episode 5, “Imperialis,” as the struggle to rebuild Manhattan begins exposing some serious cracks beneath the surface. This week, they dive into the formation of the wonderfully bizarre Dead Squad, the growing divide over how this new society should be governed, Dillard finally finding a group where he belongs, and the increasingly complicated dynamic between Maggie and Negan. But it's the episode's shocking final confrontation that really gets the conversation going, as Ben and Alex debate whether Negan crossed a line—or simply did what no one else was willing to do. Plus, plenty of listener feedback, theories about the developing power struggle between Maggie, Renata and Negan, some speculation about where the final three episodes could take us, and the usual assortment of wonderfully inappropriate detours along the way.

Joel “Jay-Ray” Anderson is a drummer that was recently touring with The Wiz.I caught up with him mid-tour. We talked about growing up in a musical family in Fort Lauderdale, learning drums from YouTube and his oldest brother, coming up through the Dillard High School drumline, studying music at Broward College and Florida Memorial University, landing his first tour (Pretty Woman) the week after graduation, and transitioning to The Wiz through a network built one relationship at a time. We got into gospel drumming history, drumline battles, a month spent touring Japan, and why networking, not just chops, is what actually opens doors.Jay-Ray comes from a house full of musicians. His father plays guitar and sings; his oldest brother plays drums and keys; another brother sings, plays drums, and plays saxophone; and a third brother plays bass, guitar, and keys while producing. Jay-Ray's own introduction to the drums came at six years old, when his oldest brother sat him down in front of a kit for the first time. By twelve, he had his own Sonor drum set, a gift from that same brother, and was already teaching himself by copying drumming videos on YouTube.Jay-Ray attended Dillard Center for the Arts, where he played in two jazz bands, marched snare in the wind orchestra and drumline, and got pulled onto snare drum as a freshman after impressing section leader Javon with a string of paradiddles. He talks about the discipline instilled by band directors Christopher Dorsey and Dr. Sheldon McClain, learning traditional grip for the first time, and the intensity of real drumline battles.Jay-Ray studied at Broward College (Associate's in Music Performance) before transferring to Florida Memorial University for his bachelor's degree, where he played under percussion director Taurus Lovely, a 25-year Broadway touring veteran (including Tina Turner: The Musical) who would later become the person who got Jay-Ray his first tour. Jay-Ray's first trip to New York came in 2018, when Dillard's jazz band won the Essentially Ellington competition at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the same trip where he first saw a Broadway show, Ain't Too Proud.The day after Jay-Ray graduated from Florida Memorial in May 2023, Taurus Lovely called with an audition opportunity for the Pretty Woman national tour. Jay-Ray recorded four songs from the show, landed the gig, and was in rehearsals in Syracuse, New York within months. He talks candidly about the learning curve of running click tracks and Ableton on the road, getting walked through the system by original drummer Kevin Maynard, and the parts of touring nobody warns you about, like setting up and breaking down your own kit on travel days. Over roughly two years with the show, he toured extensively across the U.S. and spent a month performing in Japan (Shinjuku, Tachikawa, Kyoto, and Osaka).Jay-Ray's move to The Wiz came through his network: Sammy Merandino and Quentin “Q” Robinson recommended him, and MD Michael Aarons brought him in. Jay-Ray left Pretty Woman in Wichita and, within a week, was in New York starting rehearsals, spending his off-hours studying original drummer Trevor Holder's book and comparing the Broadway cast recording to the touring arrangement. He also shares how he first met Q Robinson years earlier, showing up at Hamilton's closing show in Fort Lauderdale just to introduce himself.Asked what he'd tell a high school or college drummer chasing a career like his, Jay-Ray's answer is simple: networking. Every opportunity in his career, from Pretty Woman to The Wiz to this very podcast episode, traces back to a relationship someone else made on his behalf.Where to Find Jay-Ray* Instagram & TikTok: @jay.ray04* Facebook: Joel Anderson* Email: joel.r.anderson04@gmail.comResources * Free: How to Land a Broadway Gig Roadmap — subscribe to Broadway Drumming 101 (free or paid) and grab it at broadwayboundbook.com/roadmap* The Broadway Sub Playbook ($7.99) — available at signaturebrandworks.com* Broadway Drumming 101 merch (backpacks, tees, hats, mugs, and more) — signaturebrandworks.com* Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career by Clayton Craddock — out nowClayton Craddock was most recently the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

Diana and Renee break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, Episode 4, "Found/Lost." Maggie and Luis hit the road in search of supplies, giving us a surprisingly vulnerable and playful side of Maggie, and a connection that may be about more than survival. We talk Maggie and Luis, the fake-out kiss, Negan and Renata's uneasy alliance, Gerald's unusual community, the mysterious Trader, and the earthquake/sinkhole that turns Manhattan upside down. Plus, the Glenn moment that hit Diana hard, Hershel and Negan's surprisingly fun chemistry, and what this episode says about moving forward after loss. And, of course… Eugene's mullet. Yay or nay?

Ben and Alex are back to break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, Episode 4, “Found/Lost,” as the season officially reaches its halfway point. This week, they dive into Maggie's continued evolution, her relationships with Luis and Renata, Negan's complicated place within the growing Manhattan community, and why this quieter, more character-driven episode still gives them plenty to unpack. They also discuss the season's refreshing approach to storytelling, the growing investment in its new characters, Dillard's increasingly intriguing role, and what the episode's final moments could mean moving forward. Plus, plenty of listener feedback, theories about Maggie and Negan's futures, some classic Walking Dead callbacks, and as usual a few completely unexpected detours along the way.

This episode explores the ongoing genealogical project to identify the biological father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston, an ancestor who remains a mystery after years of research. Diana and Nicole focus on the fifth phase of this investigation, which involves utilizing DNA and documentary evidence to connect Cynthia to potential candidates among the Dillard men who drew lots in the 1832 Georgia Gold Lottery. Diana explains how she organizes this project using Airtable to track timelines and research logs while eliminating data duplication. She also shares her strategies for managing and selecting records, such as census data from 1840 to 1880, to establish a baseline for Cynthia's birth between 1815 and 1818.  Listeners learn about the practical application of locality research in genealogy as Diana investigates the counties associated with the Dillard candidates. She contrasts the availability of records in Pulaski and Oglethorpe counties, which have extant records and no major courthouse disasters, with the challenges of Burke County, where fires destroyed many documents. Diana describes how she uses the FamilySearch Wiki and 1832 maps to contextualize the migration of these men relative to Cass County. By walking through her research process, the hosts demonstrate how to combine timeline creation, map analysis, and targeted locality research to build a strategy for complex DNA projects.

Diana and Nicole examine the ongoing research project to identify the biological father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Diana summarizes previous research phases conducted through the Research Like a Pro with DNA study group, which have systematically tested Dillard candidates and narrowed the search using documentary evidence. She explains the genealogical background of Cynthia, who was born about 1815 in Georgia, and details the elimination of various candidates from earlier research phases. The discussion also covers the DNA analysis, including the use of network graphs to identify clusters related to Elijah Dillard, a potential brother of Cynthia, and the efforts to increase genomic coverage. The hosts outline the research goals for phase 5 of the project. Listeners learn how Diana applies both documentary and DNA evidence to identify Cynthia's father. Diana describes her plan to search for connections between Cynthia and three specific Dillard men who drew lots in the 1832 Gold Lottery in Cass County, Georgia: James Dillard, Joseph B. Dillard, and Toliver Dillard. Additionally, she discusses her DNA research objective, which focuses on further analyzing network graphs and expanding DNA evidence through Y-DNA testing and improved genome coverage. By listening, you gain insight into the structured process of managing complex genealogical projects through distinct phases of investigation. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.
