Storycomic Presents: Interviews with Amazing Storytellers and Artists
#Jenniferdickinson #MaggiesBigBreak #MiddleGradeBooks #KidsLit #DebutAuthor #DisabilityRepresentation #StutteringAwareness #SpeechDifference #TheaterKids #SchoolPlay #FriendshipStories #ConfidenceBuilding #AuthorInterview #WeMakeChildrensBooks #Storycomic On this episode of We Make Children's Books, I'm joined by debut middle-grade author Jennifer Dickinson to talk about Maggie's Big Break This book is equal parts funny and deeply human—a sixth-grade friendship story with big theater energy, and a standout example of disability representation: Maggie is an 11-year-old aspiring actress who stutters, and the story treats her speech difference with respect, accuracy, and heart. Maggie starts a new school with her best friend, Francesca, and they're ready to audition for the fall play, Dahlia Rockets to Space. Then Valentine arrives—experienced, confident, and determined to win the lead role and a new best friend. When Valentine starts teasing Maggie about her stutter and Francesca begins drifting away, Maggie's confidence wobbles for the first time in a long time. Quitting feels tempting… but Maggie still wants the stage. We talk about writing speech-difference representation from lived experience, why performance spaces can help kids build communication confidence, and what parents and educators can do to support confident communicators—not “perfect” speakers.

Solar carport installation costs can swing by 12 cents per watt before a single panel goes up. Kyle Sinclair, CEO and co-founder of SDE (Sinclair Designs and Engineering), James Strizki, Project Manager and CFO of GenMounts and Renewable Energy Holdings, and Matt Boyce, a PE licensed in 27 states and Principal Engineer at Engineered Solutions, join Tim Montague to break down exactly how carport projects are won and lost. Between them, they have engineered, manufactured, reviewed, and installed hundreds of megawatts of solar structures. This webinar covers the full arc of a carport project from initial bid to commissioning, with a focus on where costs blow up and what to do before you break ground to prevent it.Here is what you will learn in this conversation about solar carport installation and commercial carport project execution:Find out why experienced rooftop EPCs get surprised when they move into carports. Carport structures run 25 feet tall, require serious drilling and concrete work, and the average project size is around half a megawatt, with 100 cubic yards of concrete per site.You will learn how to structure the due diligence process before a single hole is drilled. James Strizki walks through geotech reports, 811-dig calls, web soil GIS software, conversations with local drillers, and a field layout walk a week before mobilization.Understand what ground conditions actually cost you on a carport bid. Kyle Sinclair gives real numbers: $800 per drilled hole in clean Michigan clay versus $2,500 per hole when you hit shale, a difference that adds $60,000 to a half-megawatt project and creates a 12-cent-per-watt cost swing.Find out the three foundation types you will encounter on carport projects and when each one applies. James covers drilled shafts, spread footings, and hybrid helical pile systems, and explains why the wrong choice or a rushed choice can undermine a parking lot within a year or two of commissioning.You will hear Matt Boyce explain why he will not stamp an existing carport structure for solar unless it was originally designed for the load, and what independent structural review actually protects in a project.With residential installers entering the commercial carport market in growing numbers, the gap between what a project looks like on paper and what crews find underground is widening. Kyle Sinclair notes that some EPCs entering this space are used to low-cost, high-volume, cookie-cutter projects and are now bidding work that is the complete opposite, large, expensive, heavily customized, and months in the making. If you are pricing carport work or planning to, the cost variability covered in this conversation is not theoretical.Connect with GuestsKyle Sinclair | LinkedIn James Strizki, P.E. | LinkedIn Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

In this episode, Oliver talks with Nick Clark about the Government's Head Start process, which asks councils to put forward their own reorganisation proposals or have changes imposed on them. Nick draws on his report Head Start Done Right to question whether the amalgamation the process points towards would deliver the efficiencies the Government expects, and argues instead for subsidiarity, keeping decisions at the most local level rather than consolidating them upwards.
Send us Fan MailPink Godzilla taking power naps in the Coliseum should not work as well as it does, and yet here we are. We're breaking down Godzilla X Kong The New Empire as a MonsterVerse movie that finally stops pretending it's above the toybox and instead leans hard into kaiju camp, bold visuals, and monster character work you can read on a face and a stance. If you want a spoiler-heavy podcast review that treats giant monster chaos like serious fun, you're in the right place.We talk story setup and vibe first: Gia's strange dreams, the repeating pyramid symbols, and the Hollow Earth signals that kick the plot into gear, plus the kind of product placement shot that feels like a car commercial snuck into the edit. From there we get into what the movie does best, making Kong and Godzilla feel like actual characters. Kong's arc with the power glove, Suko's shaky loyalty, and Shimo's long captivity give the action emotional shape, while Godzilla's radiation-charging rampage and “if I fits I sits” nap energy is pure MonsterVerse comedy.Then we get honest about the weak spots: the lore dump and fast translation leaps, the thin worldbuilding for the Iwi civilization, and why the human plot sometimes exists mainly to move the monsters to the next set piece. We wrap with the big questions, our favorite fights from Hollow Earth to Rio, Mothra's return, and the very real aftermath nobody wants to think about when a Titan gets shattered across a city.If you enjoyed this kind of deep-dive MonsterVerse talk, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review.

"These are long-term decisions that have far-reaching impacts — not just for us, but for future generations." Host Laurie Barkman sits down with Jennifer Wilson, founder of Oak Bay Coaching and Consulting and former CEO of the Canada Homestay Network — a family business her mother started in 1995 from a bed and breakfast in Toronto that has since placed over 100,000 international students across Canada. Jennifer joined the company as an accidental second-generation leader, grew into the CEO role after completing her MBA, and spent 17 years building the organization before transitioning to chair in 2022. She built a co-CEO structure, created a board of directors from scratch, and navigated a partial management buyout — all while keeping the family intact. Here's how she did it. Key Insights The CEO handoff is as much symbolic as it is structural. Jennifer's mother passed her a vintage recipe box — the company's original "analog database" — in front of the entire team at a company retreat. That moment publicly transferred authority and gave the whole organization clarity about who was leading. Succession isn't just paperwork — it's a signal. A co-CEO structure can work — but only under two conditions. Different skill sets and clearly separated accountabilities are non-negotiable. Jennifer hired an HR consultant who specializes in co-CEO models, created distinct strategic plan line items for each CEO, and built separate performance reviews. When both conditions are met, both leaders say they wouldn't want to do it alone. Leadership succession and ownership transition are not the same thing — and confusing them is costly. Jennifer separated the two processes deliberately. She transitioned leadership years before she transitioned ownership, and treating them as distinct conversations gave the family time to think clearly about equity, estate planning, and sibling fairness without the pressure of an operational handover happening simultaneously. Give your successors enough time. Jennifer gave her two internal candidates 18 months of lead time before officially stepping back. That window allowed for trust-building, task delegation, and honest conversations about whether each person actually wanted the role. One of them said no — and that was crucial information to have before the transition, not after. Family-to-management buyouts require a mind shift, not just a legal agreement. The reframe that unlocked Jennifer's MBO: instead of "they're paying for the business with our revenue," think "we sold it on day one and they're paying us back." That shift changes the emotional dynamic — and the 80/20 split they landed on was driven in part by Canadian tax thresholds that required each buyer to hold over 10% equity.

If you've ever felt like your business should be further along than it is… like you're busy all day, solving problems, putting out fires… but somehow still not getting the results you know are possible—this episode is for you. Today's conversation is a special one for me… because I'm not just bringing on a guest—I'm bringing on someone who has had a direct impact on how I lead, how I run our business, and honestly, how I think about growth. Joining me is Hani Malek, EOS Implementer, coach, mentor—and for me personally, someone who has helped shine a light on the gaps I didn't even realize were holding us back. Now, if you've heard of EOS—the Entrepreneurial Operating System—you might think it's just another framework, another business buzzword. But I can tell you firsthand… when done right, it's not just a system—it's a way to bring clarity, accountability, and alignment to your entire organization. And when done wrong… well, we're going to talk about that too. In this first part of the conversation, Hani breaks down: • What EOS actually is (in simple, practical terms) • Why so many businesses hit a ceiling—and how to break through it • The difference between doing EOS and actually living it • And how roles like visionary and integrator can either create friction… or become rocket fuel for growth But more importantly, you're going to get to know the man behind the expertise—his story, his faith, and the experiences that shaped how he helps leaders like you and me build stronger businesses and better lives. So if you're a business owner, a CEO, or a leader who knows there's more in the tank—but just hasn't quite unlocked it yet… You're going to want to lean into this one.

Your parents created a trust. The trust was funded correctly. The inheritance is simple. Everything appears to have been done right. So, do you really need a lawyer? Nick answers a question many successor trustees eventually face: if the trust is working exactly as intended, can you simply distribute the assets and move on? Nick explains why even straightforward trusts can involve legal responsibilities and discusses when professional guidance may be helpful.

In Acts 15:22–35, we see how the early church responded when conflict and confusion threatened unity among believers. Rather than allowing division to grow, the apostles, elders, and church leaders came together to seek God's wisdom, follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, and communicate their decisions clearly to the church.This passage provides a biblical model for addressing problems in a way that honors Christ and strengthens His people.

In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Bryce McCuin, Director of Marketing at BankSouth, to talk about what it really takes to build an authentic brand inside a community bank competing against institutions with far bigger budgets. Bryce brings a rare perspective shaped by nearly two decades across luxury real estate, fulfillment logistics, and nearly 12 years running his own creative agency before moving in-house at BankSouth. He shares how leaning into real relationships and real customer stories – rather than stock images and rate promotions – is what separates a community bank from the noise. From managing scope creep with agency partners to knowing when to trust their expertise and when to push back, Bryce brings hard-won wisdom from both sides of the client-agency relationship. He also talks about the imposter syndrome marketers are feeling in the age of AI, why discipline and intentionality matter more than speed, and how the slow is fast mindset applies directly to the way modern marketers need to approach the tools at their disposal. Key Takeaways Community banks cannot out-spend the big institutions, but they can out-relate them by showing up as real people in real communities Letting customers tell their own stories on camera – without memorized lines or staged setups – produces more authentic and compelling content Having agency experience makes you a better client because you understand scope, boundaries, and what clear direction actually looks like Marketers should lead with curiosity and questions, not with a list of everything a client is doing wrong AI creates real efficiencies, but only when you feed it the right source of truth – skipping that step means spending more time fixing than producing Staying the course on a campaign long enough to see results is one of the hardest and most important decisions a marketer can make Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org
Today I'm reviewing Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey—the explosive first book in The Expanse series that blends noir mystery, political tension, and terrifying space horror into one gripping sci-fi epic.From interplanetary conflict to the creeping dread of the unknown, this novel perfectly balances large-scale worldbuilding with grounded, character-driven storytelling. The dynamic between Holden and Miller keeps the narrative engaging, while the mystery at the heart of the story steadily escalates into something far bigger—and far more horrifying—than expected.

In this episode of the Construction Corner podcast, host Dillon dives into the growing trend of design build projects and why more owners are choosing it over traditional plan-and-spec engineering. He breaks down the biggest advantage — procurement timelines — explaining how getting electrical equipment, switchgear, and mechanical units on order early can shave weeks or months off a project schedule. Dillon also covers how having engineers and contractors working as one team leads to smarter material choices, real cost savings, and smoother execution on the jobsite. He wraps up by examining why design build projects fail, pointing to misalignment between partners, unresponsive vendors, and lack of collaboration as the top culprits.

A “credit card fee” can protect your margins or quietly create compliance risk, and the difference usually comes down to one word: clarity. We sit down with Jim Oberman, CEO of Payroc, to unpack credit card surcharging in a way that merchants, software platforms, and payments teams can actually use, without hand-waving and without confusing it with every other fee customers see at checkout.We start with the fundamentals: what surcharging is, why it exists, and why it applies only to credit cards, not debit or prepaid. Then we cut through the biggest source of mistakes by separating four commonly mixed concepts: surcharging, dual pricing, convenience fees, and service fees. From there, we get practical about the rules that matter in the real world, including Visa's 3% surcharge cap becoming the de facto standard, Mastercard's different limit, and how brand enforcement programs and secret shopping can expose sloppy implementations.The bigger story is why surcharging has taken off so fast. Technology now makes it possible to present buyer choice at the exact moment of payment, across online and in-person experiences, with options like debit, ACH (electronic check), and emerging rails like real-time payments. Jim explains why embedded payments and ISVs increasingly treat surcharging as more than cost recovery: it can be a strategic feature, a trust-builder, and a way to keep reconciliation and settlement clean for merchants at scale.

Are we overcomplicating posterior composites? Are those beautiful fissures and stains actually helping the patient… or just us? Why does that “perfect” restoration suddenly need 20 minutes of occlusal adjustment after rubber dam removal? And how can we make functional, predictable composites without burning time or stress? In this episode, Dr. Vishaal Shah shares a refreshingly practical approach to posterior composites. From understanding the basics, to simplifying anatomy and improving efficiency, this is a grounded, clinically focused conversation on how to deliver restorations that actually serve the patient. https://youtu.be/tdkTxzcloN0 Watch PDP266 on YouTube Protrusive Dental PearlMatch your composite anatomy to the patient's dental age and opposing dentition before you start building. ⚠️ Overbuilding cusps in a worn dentition will create occlusal interferences and wasted adjustment time✅ Assess space, wear, and occlusion first—then design the restoration accordingly Key Takeaways Function, efficiency, and occlusal compatibility should guide every restoration Dental age (wear) is more important than chronological age when planning anatomy Always assess the opposing tooth before designing cusps and fissures Use the whole arch—not just the contralateral tooth—as your anatomical guide Follow the central fissure line across the quadrant to orient your restoration Avoid textbook anatomy in worn dentitions—adapt to what's present Large MOD composites often act as interim restorations before crowns Build proximal walls first to establish contact and control final contour Use composite slump (with a microbrush) to naturally form proximal curvature Base layer height should match the deepest fissure level of adjacent teeth Map out fissures and cusps before building to improve accuracy and speed Start with the most difficult cusp first to reduce fatigue-related errors Proper planning before drilling reduces occlusal errors and remakes Highlights of the Episode: 00:00 Teaser 01:08 Introduction 01:50 Pearl: Matching Anatomy to Dental Age 05:32 Posterior Composite: Start with Basics, Not Complexity 10:42 Efficient Approach to Large Restorations 14:22 Efficiency vs Ideal Posterior Restorations 19:25 Building Proximal Walls First 20:55 Using Putty Stents for Missing Cusps 23:54 Midroll 27:15 Using Putty Stents for Missing Cusps 27:25 Matrix System Selection 28:06 No Pre-Wedging Philosophy 29:06 Managing Composite Overhangs 30:46 Matrix Ring Differences 32:45 Interjection 37:03 Matrix Ring Differences 37:43 Proximal Wall Technique for Posterior Composite 41:03 Base Layer Strategy in Posterior Restorations 42:23 Mapping Anatomy Before Composite Build-Up 43:13 Cusp Build-Up Approach 45:03 Minimal Adjustment Philosophy 46:43 Final Philosophy: Keep It Simple 48:00 Learning Opportunities 49:54 Outro
In this episode of the Green Side Up podcast, Jason andJordan hit the road to Gainesville, Florida to record at the impressive new home of Sky Palm Studios with co-founders Luke Lower and Justin Short. They dive into Luke and Justin's journey from running separate media companies—one focused on drone and aerial work, the other on video production—to recognizing they were better together and dissolving both businesses to form a new joint venture. The conversation covers how they met, why they chose a partnership despite all the horror stories, how they divided roles as CEO/COO, the impact of faith and family on their decisions, and the hard lessons learned from past failed partnerships, including Luke's front-row seat to his dad's physical therapy clinic struggles. Along the way, they talk burnout, retainer vs one‑off work, building out a beautiful studio space (complete with "sound reverberation walls"), the realities of S corps, K‑1s, and buying houses as young business owners, and what it takes to create a resilient, trust-based partnership in business.

Sexier Than A Squirrel: Dog Training That Gets Real Life Results
Send us Fan MailWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!This week, Lauren is joined once again by canine physiotherapist and hydrotherapist Mel to tackle a topic that every dog owner thinks they've got covered: exercise. Because your dog's walk should be the best part of their day… not the moment an avoidable injury begins. From dogs launching out of the boot and sprinting cold, to high-speed chases, collisions, and endless ball throwing, many “normal” routines are actually putting dogs at risk.In this episode, we dig into what safe, effective exercise really looks like. Mel explains what the canine body actually needs, and why those first 10–15 minutes of on-lead walking can completely change the picture. Together, Lauren and Mel explore how simple management choices - like using pathways, long lines, and food scattering - can prevent that explosive first sprint and reduce injury risk before it even starts.They also talk through real-life scenarios, including multi-dog households and dogs returning to ‘normal' walks following an injury. You'll hear how to safely reintroduce off-lead time, when play together is helpful (and when it's not), and how to step in before fun turns into a crash. This is all about understanding arousal, movement, and giving your dog the best chance to move well and stay sound.We also explore the hidden risks in everyday environments, from wet ground and deep sand to pebble beaches and even different types of astroturf. Plus, we cover how exercise should change across your dog's life, from older dogs with arthritic changes to fit, active sports dogs, and why nutrition needs to support increased training load.If you want to exercise your dog in a way that builds strength, protects their body, and supports long-term health, this episode is for you.Support the showIf you're loving the podcast, you'll love our NEW Sexier than a Squirrel Dog Training Challenge even more!

Is Christian dating supposed to look like what we see on TV? In this episode of Fuel for the Harvest, Nathan sits down with Paul and Natalie Epperson — married 23 years, parents of five, and passionate young adult ministers — for an honest, practical, and refreshing conversation about what it actually looks like to date as a follower of Jesus.With two decades of walking alongside college students and young adults, Paul and Natalie have seen it all — the mistakes, the heartbreak, and the beauty of what happens when people invite God into their relationships. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation you won't want to miss.In this episode, you'll learn:Why so many Christian relationships still end in bitterness and broken friendshipsThe #1 thing most young people skip before pursuing a relationshipWhy building friendship first is more powerful than jumping straight into datingHow to stop letting the fear of the "friend zone" run your love lifeWhat's really behind men's passivity in dating — and why it's getting worseHow godly women can position themselves to be pursuable without compromising who they areWhy waiting on the Lord in relationships is not passive — it's powerfulPaul and Natalie Epperson are available to speak at your event.

A benzodiazepine taper can feel like trying to land a plane in bad weather: the stakes are high, the instruments are imperfect, and speed is rarely your friend. We sit down with Dr. Rizzo to translate the ASAM benzodiazepine tapering guideline into real-world addiction medicine decisions, including what to do when a patient shows up on a very high dose of clonazepam and a sudden 50% cut has already happened.We dig into the practical details clinicians and patients search for: how fast to reduce dose, why “5% to 10% every 2–4 weeks” is often a safer starting point, and when switching to a longer-acting benzodiazepine like diazepam helps or hurts. We also separate physical dependence from benzodiazepine use disorder so withdrawal is treated with seriousness rather than stigma, and we talk candidly about the access-to-care problem when long-term benzo patients can no longer find a prescriber.We also cover special risks and settings: why older adults (65+) often need extra-slow tapers, why pregnancy requires careful coordination to avoid abrupt cessation, and when polysubstance use with opioids or alcohol should push care toward inpatient or residential support. Dr. Rizzo shares why phenobarbital can be useful in controlled detox settings, plus what actually improves success long term: CBT, treating underlying anxiety and insomnia with non-addictive medications, and building a plan patients can stick with.If this helps, subscribe, share it with a colleague or family member, and leave a review so more people can find evidence-based guidance on benzodiazepine tapering and withdrawal.ASAM Benzo Tapering Guideline: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11606-025-09499-2To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com
What makes a perfect fish fry? That is exactly what I set out to explore in this episode of the Hunt Fish Travel Podcast with Sheila Pederson, president of Chef Robert's Gourmet Breading Mix. We dive into what really matters when it comes to cooking fish, wild game, and the meals that come after the hunt or the catch. I have always believed that the moment you sit down to eat what you harvested is just as important as the time spent in the field or on the water. In this conversation, we talk about why that meal sticks with you, how to keep the focus on the fish instead of the breading, and simple ways to elevate your wild game cooking without overcomplicating it. Sheila shares the 40 year history behind Chef Robert's, how it started in a Minnesota restaurant, and how it has grown into a go to option for anglers, hunters, and families who want an easy, consistent, and flavorful way to cook walleye, perch, pheasant, venison, and more. We also get into real world fishing stories, including guides cooking fresh catches right on the pontoon, and why those experiences turn into the kind of memories you never forget. From shore lunch staples to quick weeknight meals, this episode is all about making the most of what you harvest. If you have ever been disappointed by a fish fry that tasted more like breading than fish, or you are looking for a better way to cook your wild game, this episode is for you.

Detox is often misunderstood as a quick fix, but true detoxification is a process that depends on your body's ability to safely release and eliminate toxins.
