Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Recorded Live at ASTA 2025, Ryan Ragan, Executive Director of ASTA, discusses the explosive growth of the event, Ragan's long-term vision, the wildly creative opening-night party, and the industry-wide push to elevate professional language in the automotive field. Episode Highlights Record-Breaking Growth:ASTA 2025 moved to a larger venue and saw a 34–35% increase in registrations, reaching four-digit attendance. Ragan restructured the expo for better vendor ROI, including a shop-owner-only show-floor window on opening night. His biggest hurdle wasn't logistics—it was convincing people that such a massive upgrade was even possible on a tight timeline. The payoff came when an attendee told him the show felt like the “SEMA of the East.”“Out of This World” Theme:ASTA's first themed expo featured an alien-inspired opening night with a mechanical bull, giant dartboard, sumo matches (announced by Carm), and 10-ft champagne-serving aliens.Education & Professionalism:Ragan stressed the importance of ongoing training in an era where cars are “rolling computers.”A major topic: shifting industry language—embracing titles likemechanical specialistto elevate professionalism and attract new talent. Ragan hopes every attendee left with three things: New knowledge to solve future shop challengesA fun memory to brighten tough daysA new connection they can call for advice https://astausa.org/pages/asta-expo Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Learn more about NAPA Auto Care and the benefits of being part of the NAPA family by visiting https://www.napaonline.com/en/auto-care NAPA TRACS will move your shop into the SMS fast lane with onsite training and six days a week of support and local representation.

Thank you to the folks at Sustain (https://sustainoss.org/) for providing the hosting account for CHAOSSCast! CHAOSScast – Episode 124 This episode of CHAOSScast kicks off a new Practitioner Guide series focused on “Building Diverse Leadership” in open source communities. Harmony Elendu hosts with co-host Georg Link and guests Dawn Foster and Peculiar Umeh, exploring why diverse leadership matters, how CHAOSS' practitioner guides turn “walls of metrics” into practical action, and how three specific metrics: Board/Council Diversity, Sponsorship, and Inclusive Leadership, can help projects become more welcoming, representative, and sustainable. Hit download now to hear more! [00:00:35] Dawn, Peculiar, Georg, and Harmony share their backgrounds. [00:02:57] Dawn gives us an overview of the Practitioner Guide series and emphasizes that the guides focus on how to improve projects using metrics, not just on measuring. [00:05:13] Georg asks Peculiar what inspired her to write the “Getting Started with Building Diverse Leadership” guide. She describes working on CHAOSS metrics templates and wanting to help non-data science people use them. [00:08:09] Harmony connects the topic to broader industry conversations on diversity and inclusion. Peculiar explains that diverse leadership brings different perspectives, experiences, and voices into decision making and uses CHAOSS as an example. [00:10:30] Dawn expands on how seeing leaders “who look like you” motivates people to participate and aspire to leadership. [00:11:28] Georg talks about diversity as social justice and explains benefits for the projects: resilience, innovation, and better products for diverse users. [00:14:25] Peculiar shares the three metrics and why there were chosen. Dawn adds that guides are designed to change projects, not just describe them. [00:18:09] Georg notes Board/Council Diversity is the most intuitive to measure and Dawn cautions that many aspects of identity are invisible and the guide recommends surveys to ask community members whether they feel represented and heard. [00:21:03] Georg explains sponsorship vs. mentorship. Peculiar shares her own experience of being advocated for and supported in open source. Dawn tells the story of Danese Cooper sponsoring her showing how sponsorship accelerates careers. [00:25:27] Georg explains Inclusive Leadership as the governance scaffolding and Peculiar describes what the guide offers. [00:27:50] Harmony asks how they can implement the guide and monitor progress. Peculiar highlights some implementation steps and Dawn re-emphasizes using recurring surveys as monitoring tools. [00:33:27] Dawn notes that every practitioner guide includes a Cautions and Considerations section, and Georg reminds us that interpersonal relationships are crucial for understanding how people experience the community. Value Adds (Picks) of the week: [00:35:25] Harmony's pick is n8n and automations. [00:36:10] Georg's pick is looking forward to the holidays with his family. [00:37:54] Dawn's pick is watching chunky squirrels play outside her window. [00:38:24] Peculiar's pick is taking time to rest.

She also founded Futurize Energy. Sandra holds an MBA from Mannheim Business School.During their chat with Silvan, our 3 guests discussed the current representation of women in tech in the Western world. Women are significantly underrepresented in tech, especially in leadership roles (e.g., only 22% of AI professionals in Switzerland are women). They face career obstacles such as stereotypes, biases, and societal filters that hinder their progress.Diverse teams drive innovation, but the tech industry often overlooks this potential. To improve gender representation, proactive efforts are needed, including:Encouraging risk-taking (critical for startups and leadership).Building support systems (mentorship, peer networks).Fostering STEM environments for girls to ensure future diversity.Addressing unconscious biases in hiring and promotions.Ultimately, empowering women in tech requires systemic change, from education to workplace culture, to unlock their full potential and drive long-term progress.

Today, Dr. Stephanie Holmes talks with Occupational Therapist, Kelly Mahler. The topic is interoception! Every neurotype can struggle with it, but we find neurodivergent folks can have a few more challenges with interoception.Defined by Kelly's website: Many people notice these feelings in their body with the help of an important sense… a sense called… interoception.Don't let the name fool you. The word interoception might not sound very sexy or important. But this sense is a really big deal. Interoception has a huge influence on many areas of our lives, like self-regulation, mental health, and social connection. About our Guest:Kelly Mahler, OTD, OTR/L, earned a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Misericordia University, Dallas, PA. She has been an occupational therapist for 20 years, serving school-aged children and adults.

In this holiday-themed episode of Just the Guys, the conversation centers on thankfulness—not as a sentimental add-on to Thanksgiving, but as a practical tool for navigating the chaos of family gatherings. Drawing from Dr. Jim Wilder's teaching on appreciation as the spark that “turns on our relational circuits,” the guys explore how gratitude transforms not just moods but entire relationships. Greg admits that even when overstimulated, “I still made the turkey; it's my job”—a wry reminder that responsibility and love can coexist with limits and self-awareness. Jeremy reflects on the sobering truth that “what you complain about today might be someone else's answered prayer,” while Kevin shares how recovery and thankfulness helped him replace counterfeit joys with authentic connection. Dan rounds out the discussion with insights on starting the day with intentional gratitude as a way to short-circuit negativity before it starts. From Western novels as an escape hatch to unexpected hugs from kids, from box breathing to pecan pie, the guys trade stories of how thankfulness shows up in real life—sometimes messy, sometimes humorous, but always transformative. With family gatherings looming, they offer encouragement to embrace both the people you love and the people who stretch your patience, not as problems to solve but as relationships to nurture. The takeaway? Joy rarely arrives by accident—it's cultivated, like Greg's turkey, with intentional care.

It is important that teachers feel confident to respectfully and effectively address religion and beliefs in diverse classrooms. But it can be difficult, particularly for early career or beginner teachers, to know where to start. Recently, Informit – in partnership with RMIT University and the Australian Council for Educational Research – held a free professional development webinar on this very topic. In that webinar, ACER's very own Pru Mitchell, Manager of Information Services, interviewed Professor Peter Sherlock, Executive Director of the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture at Charles Sturt University. In today's podcast, we sit down with Peter to follow up on some of the key themes to come from that webinar. In particular, we discuss why it's important for schools to engage with religion and belief systems, how teachers can engage students in meaningful conversations about religion in a respectful way, and the resources available to help teachers to build their confidence in this space.

Their conversation is a masterclass in how young people can find their voice, build confidence, and make a real impact in their community. This blog post dives deep into the main themes and actionable insights from the episode, offering guidance for parents, educators, and aspiring young leaders. Whether you're a Grayslake local or simply passionate about youth empowerment, you'll find plenty of inspiration and practical advice here. Table of Contents Spotlighting Youth: Why Community Involvement Matters Building Confidence Through Public Speaking and DJing Mentorship: The Power of Local Role Models Investing in the Right Tools: A Young DJ's Equipment Guide Balancing School, Hobbies, and Community Service The Value of Supportive Teachers and Family Actionable Tips for Young Announcers and DJs Fostering Kindness and Community Spirit Final Thoughts: Growing Up Grayslake Strong 1. Spotlighting Youth: Why Community Involvement Matters  Chase's story is a testament to the power of getting involved early. From announcing at his sister's softball games to DJing block parties and working with the PTO, Chase has found ways to contribute meaningfully to Grayslake's vibrant community life. Key Takeaways: Early involvement builds lifelong skills.** Chase's comfort on the mic and his organizational abilities are direct results of hands-on experience. Community events are gateways.** Local block parties, school events, and PTO activities offer safe, supportive spaces for youth to try new roles. Visibility matters.** When young people are given the spotlight, it encourages others to step up and participate. Actionable Advice: Encourage your child or student to volunteer at local events, even in small roles. Look for opportunities where youth can take the lead—announcing, organizing, or even running games. 2. Building Confidence Through Public Speaking and DJing  Public speaking is often cited as America's number one fear, but for Chase, it's a source of excitement. His journey shows that confidence is built through practice, positive feedback, and a willingness to embrace the spotlight. Nuanced Insights: Start small, build up.** Chase's first announcement was simply saying goodbye at a block party. Small wins lead to bigger opportunities. Preparation is key.** Arriving early, setting up equipment, and knowing your material reduces anxiety. Embrace mistakes.** Locker jams and tech hiccups are part of the process—laugh them off and keep going. Expert Advice: Practice public speaking at home—announce dinner, host family games, or narrate daily activities. Use tools like Kahoot, Canva, or even simple PowerPoint to create interactive presentations for family and friends. Record yourself and listen back to identify areas for improvement. 3. Mentorship: The Power of Local Role Models  Chase credits a local dad for teaching him the ropes—how to use a microphone, manage playlists, and engage a crowd. This mentorship was pivotal in his development. Key Points: Mentors provide both skills and confidence.** Learning from someone experienced demystifies the process. Community connections matter.** Local mentors understand the unique needs and culture of the area. How to Find or Become a Mentor: Reach out to local schools, PTOs, or community centers to connect youth with experienced volunteers. If you have a skill, offer to teach or co-host an event with a young person. Encourage a "shadowing" approach—let youth observe and then gradually take on more responsibility. 4. Investing in the Right Tools: A Young DJ's Equipment Guide  Chase's journey into DJing was made possible by thoughtful investment in equipment, much of it funded by family gifts and careful planning. Detailed Breakdown: Budgeting:** Chase spent about $400 on a speaker, microphones, lights, and a fog machine—showing that quality setups are possible without breaking the bank. Organization:** Keeping equipment organized and well-maintained is crucial for smooth events. Platform Choice:** Chase uses both Spotify and Apple Music, noting the unique features of each (like Apple's karaoke mode). Recommendations: Start with a reliable speaker and microphone—these are the backbone of any DJ setup. Add lights and effects (like a fog machine) as you gain experience and confidence. Use gift cards or holiday gifts to gradually build your setup. Explore both Spotify and Apple Music to see which fits your style and event needs. 5. Balancing School, Hobbies, and Community Service  Chase is not just a DJ—he's involved in theater (Annie Junior), band (playing tambourine in the symphonic band), and school clubs. Balancing these commitments is a challenge, but also a source of growth. Insights: Time management is a learned skill.** Chase juggles set-building, rehearsals, and DJ gigs by staying organized and prioritizing. Flexibility is important.** When play rehearsals ramped up, he adjusted his schedule to accommodate extra sessions. Diverse interests build resilience.** Exposure to different activities helps youth discover their strengths and passions. Actionable Tips: Use a planner or digital calendar to track commitments. Don't be afraid to say no or ask for help when overwhelmed. Try new activities—even if you don't get your first-choice role, there's value in every experience. 6. The Value of Supportive Teachers and Family  Chase's journey is supported by a network of encouraging teachers and family members. From his social studies teacher Ms. Corey to his band director Mr. Thomas, positive adult influences make a world of difference. Key Takeaways: Teachers who make learning fun inspire lifelong curiosity.** Family support—whether it's buying equipment or simply cheering from the sidelines—empowers youth to take risks.** Open communication with adults helps youth navigate challenges, from tech issues to school transitions.** How to Build a Support System: Celebrate small wins—acknowledge effort, not just results. Encourage open dialogue about challenges and successes. Connect with other families to share resources and advice. 7. Actionable Tips for Young Announcers and DJs  Drawing from Chase's experience and the host's expert advice, here are practical steps for aspiring young announcers and DJs: 1. Start Where You Are Volunteer to announce at family gatherings, school events, or local sports games. Use free or low-cost tools to practice—your phone's voice recorder is a great start. 2. Build Your Brand Create playlists and share them with friends, family, or on platforms like Spotify (as Chase does with "Chase's Entertainment Services"). Develop a simple website or social media page to showcase your work. 3. Stay Organized Keep your equipment in labeled cases or bins. Make checklists for setup and teardown to avoid forgetting key items. 4. Engage Your Audience Learn to read the room—play music that fits the mood and age group. Use the microphone to make safety and fun announcements, just like Chase does at foam parties. 5. Keep Learning Watch YouTube tutorials on DJing, public speaking, and event management. Ask for feedback after each event—what went well, and what could improve? 8. Fostering Kindness and Community Spirit  The episode closes with a heartfelt reminder: "We never know what our friends or family or anybody is going through… do one or two random acts of kindness today." This ethos is at the heart of Grayslake's community spirit. Ways to Spread Kindness: Hold the door for someone. Smile and greet neighbors. Volunteer for local events or help a classmate with homework. Why It Matters: Small acts of kindness create a ripple effect, making the community stronger and more welcoming for everyone—especially young people finding their way. 9. Final Thoughts: Growing Up Grayslake Strong  Chase McGann's story is a shining example of what's possible when young people are encouraged to pursue their passions, supported by family, teachers, and a caring community. Whether you're a parent, educator, or young person yourself,

SUMMARY In this conversation, the hosts discuss the intersection of politics and training in martial arts, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a supportive community while navigating personal beliefs. They explore the impact of social media on discussions, the value of diverse perspectives, and the significance of relationships over being right.   The conversation highlights the responsibility of martial arts instructors to create a welcoming environment for all students, regardless of their political views, and the importance of kindness and understanding in fostering personal growth. TAKEAWAYS Politics should not interfere with training environments. Building relationships is more important than being right. Diverse perspectives enhance personal growth. Social media influences how we discuss sensitive topics. Creating a supportive community is essential in martial arts. Intentions behind conversations matter more than the topics discussed. Kindness should be prioritized in all interactions. Understanding different viewpoints can lead to better communication. Martial arts training can help individuals become better versions of themselves. It's crucial to focus on the 80% of common ground rather than the 20% of differences.

7. The Indispensables at Trenton: Crossing the Ice-Filled Delaware River Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware On Christmas night 1776, Washington ordered his 2,400 men to cross the ice-filled Delaware River to attack Trenton. This "mission impossible" was only achieved due to the skill of the Marbleheaders in handling the Durham and flat-bottom boats, as all other attempts to cross the river that night failed. Their unique expertise, developed while fishing the Grand Banks, allowed them to manage the difficult currents and ice flows. The regiment was a diverse, unified team, including free men of color such as Caesar Gloverand Oliver Cromwell. After crossing in the nor'easter, the troops—many lacking shoes—marched toward Trenton. Glover's regiment was in the vanguard, marching down the river road. They secured the crucial Assunpink Creek bridge, ensuring the captured Hessians under Johann Rall had no means of retreat, leading to a decisive double envelopment victory. Days later, during the Second Battle of Trenton at Assunpink Creek, the remaining Marbleheaders held the bridge against repeated assaults by elite British grenadiers, allowing Washington to execute a feint and escape north toward Princeton. 8. The Legacy and Sacrifice of the Marbleheaders: From Bankruptcy to Monument Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Following the Trenton campaign, many Marbleheaders, exhausted and with enlistments expired, returned home, including John Glover, whose wife was ill. Marblehead suffered immense devastation post-war; the prosperous town went "bust," the industry declined, and many leading men went bankrupt. The sacrifice was tragic, resulting in nearly 400 widows by the war's end, with many bodies lost at sea. Washington eventually entreated Glover to return, promoting him to general, and Glover continued fighting until 1782. Today, the Marbleheaders' story is visible through remaining historic landmarks: John Glover's house has a plaque, the Jeremiah Lee mansion serves as part of the Marblehead Museum, and notable figures are buried in Old Burial Hill. In Trenton, a statue of Marbleheader John Russell is displayed, holding an oar to symbolize the famous Delaware crossing. Henry Knox paid tribute to the regiment, stating he wished Congress had seen the men of Marblehead alone stand forward to lead the army across the perilous river to achieve the victory at Trenton.

1. The Prosperous Mariner Community of Marblehead and its Revolutionary Leadership Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Marblehead was the second-largest port city in Massachusetts and a thriving cosmopolitan community, with a population estimated at about 5,000. Its economy relied heavily on fishing, specifically codfish from the Grand Banks, which were salted and traded globally via a massive merchant fleet. This commerce fostered some of the wealthiest men in the colonies. Key leaders included Jeremiah Lee, a man of enormous wealth and influence, and John Glover, a scrappy, stocky, red-haired self-made man who started as a cobbler and built a successful fleet of ships. These men, along with Elbridge Gerry, were prominent members of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, sitting on crucial committees of supply and safety. They leveraged their trade routes to bring in vital resources, such as gunpowder and cannon, securing Spain as the colonies' "first foreign aid" in 1774. Glover led the Marblehead Regiment, which was notably diverse, including African Americans like Caesar Glover and Romeo, who sailed and fought together.

3. Treason, Spies, and Political Violence: The Revolution as a Raging Civil War Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware The Revolutionary War was characterized as a "raging civil war" where loyalists and patriots lived together, leading to intense political violence. Individuals were targeted based on perceived loyalties, a form of "cancel culture." Dr. Nathaniel Bond, a virus specialist, faced death threats and had his house surrounded by a mob after he treated wounded British soldiers following Lexington and Concord, simply following his Hippocratic oath. He was eventually exonerated after demanding a court martial. Internal betrayal was severe, exemplified by Dr. Benjamin Church, a medical doctor and influential leader who appeared to be an ardent patriot. Church, who was deep in debt, was actually General Gage's greatest spy. He sat on all major Massachusetts provincial committees, funneling crucial Patriot intelligence to Gage, informing the British general exactly where munitions were stored. Church communicated in cipher code and was known as a charming gambler and ladies' man who even faked his own involvement in battle by sprinkling blood on his stockings.

4. Washington's Ad Hoc Navy and the Formation of the Commander-in-Chief's Guard Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Upon George Washington's arrival in July 1775, the Continental Army suffered a critical shortage of black powder, forcing Washington to seek urgent supply solutions. He developed a unique trust with the Marbleheaders, whose nautical expertise he relied upon. Washington bypassed Congress to create his own Navy—a fleet of "cruisers" (including the Leeand the Warren) manned by Marblehead sailors, essentially perfect marines. Their primary goal was to intercept British transports laden with ordnance and powder. Captain John Manley, a Marbleheader, achieved a critical success, capturing one of the war's richest prizes—a ship filled with supplies that included a massive mortar used later at Dorchester Heights. Washington's Navy operated primarily out of Beverly, Massachusetts, a heavily defended, difficult-to-navigate, protected port. Additionally, Washington formed the Commander-in-Chief's Guard, or Lifeguard, which was an early precursor to the Secret Service, tasked with protecting the general and his papers. This handpicked volunteer unit was placed under the command of Marbleheader Caleb Gibbs.

5. Battling the Smallpox Pandemic: Dr. Bond and Washington's Strategic Inoculation Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware The Revolutionary War unfolded under the shadow of a smallpox pandemic. The virus devastated Marblehead after being brought in by fishing ships. Initial quarantine efforts failed, but Dr. Nathaniel Bond promoted inoculation. This dangerous 18th-century technique involved intentionally introducing a small amount of the virus into the body to create antibodies. Patriot efforts to establish an inoculation hospital on remote Cat Island were met with political violence when Loyalists organized a mob to storm the jail and torch the hospital while people were still inside. Later, following the Trenton and Princeton campaigns, the virus became a catastrophic threat, infecting and killing nearly 20% of Washington's army. Recognizing that the virus could destroy his fighting capability, Washington made the strategic decision to order Dr. Bond to establish inoculation hospitals. Bond set up these facilities and personally conducted inoculations, a move considered Washington's greatest strategic decision. Dr. Bond, who had once been ostracized for treating British soldiers, ultimately died as a result of his service to the Continental Army, having saved it through inoculation.

The Miracle Evacuation: The Marbleheaders at the Battle of Long Island Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware After the defeat at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776, Washington's 9,000-man army was trapped at Brooklyn Heights, facing destruction by Lord Howe's forces. Washington decided upon a harrowing retreat across the swirling, mile-long East River—an evacuation described as one of the most difficult military maneuvers. Had the British succeeded in destroying the army here, the Revolution likely would have ended. The Marblehead Regiment was tasked with rowing the army across in small, inadequate boats. The success relied entirely on the unique skill set of the Marbleheaders, honed by fishing the deadly Grand Banks. Despite the wind and currents initially frustrating the operation, two timely atmospheric events aided them: the wind failed to shift in a way that would allow the British Navy to sail up the East River to intercept, and as dawn broke, a dense fog rolled in, screening the movements of the escaping army. Washington personally supervised the evacuation, enforcing order and being one of the last men to leave the shore.

8. The Legacy and Sacrifice of the Marbleheaders: From Bankruptcy to Monument Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Following the Trenton campaign, many Marbleheaders, exhausted and with enlistments expired, returned home, including John Glover, whose wife was ill. Marblehead suffered immense devastation post-war; the prosperous town went "bust," the industry declined, and many leading men went bankrupt. The sacrifice was tragic, resulting in nearly 400 widows by the war's end, with many bodies lost at sea. Washington eventually entreated Glover to return, promoting him to general, and Glover continued fighting until 1782. Today, the Marbleheaders' story is visible through remaining historic landmarks: John Glover's house has a plaque, the Jeremiah Lee mansion serves as part of the Marblehead Museum, and notable figures are buried in Old Burial Hill. In Trenton, a statue of Marbleheader John Russell is displayed, holding an oar to symbolize the famous Delaware crossing. Henry Knox paid tribute to the regiment, stating he wished Congress had seen the men of Marblehead alone stand forward to lead the army across the perilous river to achieve the victory at Trenton.
