Send us a textIn this episode, Dove Putterman breaks down one of the most misunderstood topics in the fitness world: waist trainers vs. weight belts — what they are, what they're not, and why so many athletes are confused about them.What starts as playful banter quickly shifts into a real conversation as Dove explains why LPF trainers don't recommend waist trainers, how they affect breathing, posture, and body dysmorphia, and why they're used more for aesthetics than function. She opens up about the psychology behind them, the insecurities they can amplify, and the pressure many women feel to “snatch” their waist instead of strengthening their core. The conversation dives into the appropriate use of weight belts — when they matter, when they're unnecessary, and why they should never be a substitute for building real stability. It's practical, relatable, and brutally honest — a conversation every athlete, competitor, or gym-goer should hear. Dr. Dove Putterman is a wife and a proud mother of FIVE amazing children! Seven years after giving birth to triplets, she stepped on stage for the first time and went on to earn her Wellness IFBB Pro card at the Natural Canadian Pro Qualifier. Struggling with core control issues after pregnancy, she discovered Low Pressure Fitness through the bodybuilding community which not only transformed her physique and remedied her lower back pain, but also inspired her to become a coach working with athletes from amateur competitors to Olympians and helping them master core control for posing, training and stability not to mention developing that hourglass shape on stage!https://www.instagram.com/drdove_ifbbprohttps://www.fitbodyfusion.com/pages/online-competition-coachingWelcome to FitBody Lifestyle the podcast hosted by Jami and Greg DeBernard!

BOSSes, Anne Ganguzza and her superpower co-host, Lau Lapides, dive into the non-negotiable reality of voiceover demo production. The bosses address why many voice actors—especially those starting out—try to cut corners on their demos, despite the demo being the primary portfolio piece used to land agents and get work. This episode provides essential, current advice on what makes a demo effective, what red flags to avoid, and how to manage the realistic expectations of investing in a long-term voice acting career. 00:03 - Anne (Host) Hey guys, it's Anne Ganguzza here.

These are the premier business owner strategies and successes being utilized by the industry's top talent today. Rock your business like a boss a VO boss. Now let's welcome your host, Anne Ganguzza.  00:45 - Anne (Host) Hey, hey, everyone, welcome to the VO Boss podcast and the Boss Superpower Series. I'm your host, Anne Ganguzza, and I'm here with the lovely Miss Lala Pita. Hey, we're back, and better than ever. Annie, I'm so glad to be back with you. We are back. Ah Lala, it's been a week, oh my gosh, it's been a week.  01:06 It's been kind of a crazy year so far, hasn't it? It has, I mean, it's just been a little chaotic. I've dealt with a lot of students recently who come to me that want coaching, but before they want to get coaching, they want me to listen to their demos, and so I'll have a quick listen. I mean, I do an actual, I have an actual like process where, if you want half an hour of my time, I'll actually evaluate your demo spot by spot and give you tips. And I like the fact that I offer it as a service because I don't want people to think I'm just here to sell them demos.  01:42 Yeah, of course, but I listen to a lot of demos that are self-produced and demos that have no production under them, and then demos that have a lot of production under them. And you know, I know it's a topic that you know we tend to talk about quite a bit, all about demos. But demos are just so darn important because it really is the product by which you get hired a lot of times. I mean, in addition to auditions, of course, you know, because the client always wants to hear you know your voice with their brand, but really to get your foot in the door. In a lot of places, that demo that showcases what your voice sounds like in the genre in which you want to work is so important. And it's interesting how many times I'll talk to a student who wants to kind of cut the corners on that and they don't have the money. And yet the demos that I'm hearing are not doing them any favors and not getting them any work. Right.  02:39 - Lau (Host) And there's so many tips you and I could like give about the do's and don'ts of demos, but I think it changed, like what's trending now and the faux pas that are happening are happening, that are a little bit newer these days and it's good to talk about and especially.  02:55 - Anne (Host) I like your angle from—I have my angle from the non-broadcast side and I want to hear your angle from the broadcast side. How much are demos being used to cast people? How much do the demos count when you're listening to that in comparison to the auditions? Talk to me about the casting process and how often are demos being used for that? That's a great question. That's a great question.  03:20 - Lau (Host) You know, the anecdote that I come up with is, or the analogy I come up with is, reminds me of college. College was always a necessity for people who are going into white collar careers. Ok, nowadays it's a little bit different.  03:36 - Anne (Host) Do you?  03:37 - Lau (Host) need a college degree to go into many careers. Maybe not, probably not, but when you earn a college degree, oftentimes it says to an employer that you've gone to the highest level of due diligence in your education and that, to me, oftentimes, is what demos represent. Sometimes you literally don't need demos, like literally, we won't be submitting your demo to a client On the most literal basis, I will not be sending your client 98% of the time to our clients, but it shows us that you are a working, professional, high-level industry talent. So there's a screening.  04:13 - Anne (Host) And that you take your career seriously. I think you take your investment seriously.  04:17 - Lau (Host) There's a screening to that it's a portfolio piece, sure. So I would say, yes, you do need it, but no, you do not need it for every single individual job that comes through, because they're going to be demo reads on the scripts.  04:30 - Anne (Host) Now I'm going to counter that, because you are speaking from the broadcast sense of the word. Typically, because you cast a lot for commercials and broadcast style jobs. For non-broadcast, which is a lot of the industry as well, demos can sit on your website and be available 24-7. When you don't have time to audition, and that is the biggest point that I'd like to make is that if you do not have an audition, they sit on your website as a portfolio, as a demonstration of what it is that your voice sounds like, and it can be a way to get your foot in the door.  05:04 If somebody hears that demo and then they're like, oh, I like that voice, and then maybe they want you to audition or it just it allows people to kind of sample the product, sample the product before they decide if they want to hire you, and I think that it's a very valuable piece to have on a website. So if you're a talent that's going to do not I mean I don't know any talent that just does broadcast I mean maybe some it's a very tiny few that just do broadcast, but that doesn't do non-broadcast as well. So I feel like that demo as a portfolio. I remember when you used to go on job interviews and you had to have things in your portfolio.  05:44 I mean, I did when I went on job interviews.  05:46 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) I had a portfolio. I did too, yes.  05:48 - Anne (Host) And this is really your portfolio and I think just like— Totally agree as anything right. Presentation is everything I'm all about. Presentation, yeah, Do you know what I mean? I do? Presentation in marketing, presentation in the way you dress, presentation where you present yourself to people. I think presentation for your product is important and that is your demo.  06:11 - Lau (Host) And thank you for qualifying that, because I was speaking from a commercial mindset and it is great to have it on your website. You really should have those on your website because you're going to get private clients, you're going to get audiobook clients, you're going to get all sorts of potential clients that need to hear samples of your work. In my world, every day I will ask for submissions, commercial demo submissions for the agency but how much we're actually using them in-house once we've accepted you into the agency?  06:43 - Anne (Host) is getting minimal. But you need one to get into the agency. Is that correct? For the most part, yeah, you do.  06:49 - Lau (Host) You do because otherwise we would just have you do random reads which we want to hear produced reads. So it makes sense to absolutely have that commercial demo. But be careful, like and we'll talk about that some of the tips about like what is in that that is working on your behalf and what is working against you.  07:08 - Anne (Host) Yeah, yeah.  07:09 Right, I mean, there, you know I'm going to say, first of all, anything that is not produced right. First of all, I mean we can talk the DIY. I mean the DIY is not typically produced because, again, you need, like, if you're going to put music under it, sound effects, you need a license for that to be, you know, to legally. You know, put something on your website and I feel like, if it's not produced, then it kind of tells people that you're just there in your home studio with a mic and you didn't want to put any sound effects or music under it, and so therefore, it's kind of like a half-finished product to me. Yes, and yes, it showcases your voice, but it also showcases that maybe you could be a hobbyist or that you are not making the investment to create a produced sample, which I think is important because, again, you know, it's everything. I mean the client needs to hear what your voice will sound like in a fully produced spot, I believe that I agree, and you know what I do.  08:06 - Lau (Host) When we're looking at bringing new talent, I typically make a habit of saying who produced your demo?  08:11 Now, a lot of agents won't ask that, but I do because I know the producers and I know who's who. So I'll ask them who produced your demo? That'll tell me one thing and then, well, they certainly have to send me a commercial demo. I find one of the biggest problems out there is they're sending me the wrong demo. They're sending me, say, you know, an animation demo, character demo, which I love because we're doing more animation jobs, but the bread and butter is still the commercial for most of us. And so you have to really target, like who are you sending your portfolio to and who are their clients, what kind of work do they represent? And send them the right demo, send them the most appropriate demo. Don't assume oh, I have four other demos, is that good enough?  08:52 - Anne (Host) Well, yeah, I mean like a corporate demo.  08:55 You're like you need a commercial demo first and foremost because that's where you as an agent make your money right In the broadcast, but non-broadcast but it's not to say that your agent won't hire you for a corporate job.  09:11 It's nice to have that corporate demo. I'm going to say that the rest of the demos outside of your commercial demo or anything that's broadcast like promo or animation, even to have those non-broadcast demos is also equally as important to have on your website and to also deliver to your agent as a secondary demo, because you know they want to see that you can be versatile and you're not just a one-trick pony, uh, sort of deal, and and those demos should be should be produced properly. Basically, I'll tell you, though produced properly just as important to have a produced, even though e-learning I have people that will say to me yeah, but e-learning, you don't typically have music under e-learning. I'm have people that will say to me yeah, but e-learning, you don't typically have music under e-learning. I'm like, look, it's not about that for your demo, it's about the presentation it's about. I would much rather hear your voice in an e-learning module with a little bit of music underneath it because it helps.  09:55 It's like putting lipstick on it's just saying right, it finishes it off, it creates a nice sound and there are a lot of e-learning believe it finishes it off, it creates a nice sound, and there are a lot of e-learning believe it or not modules that do have music under them, even though a lot of them won't.  10:10 - Lau (Host) But I'll tell you what blows me away.  10:11 - Anne (Host) Medical, the same thing. Medical is the same thing. I'll tell you what blows me away, though.  10:16 - Lau (Host) How many talent we have submit to the agency for acceptance that don't have commercial demos.  10:30 - Anne (Host) And.  10:30 - Lau (Host) I say you know, I appreciate you sending me other demos, but where's your commercial demo? And they say oh, I'm saving up for it and I'm planning it next year.  10:33 And I'm like, well, then come back to me then, yeah, yeah, because that's what I need to hear. That's how specific we get in terms of having you understand what a commercial delivery is. We need to know that you understand and that you're making the investment in it as well. I think that that's really, really important. You know, one of the big sort of mistakes that I've heard recently and we've been talking about this forever, but it's been a real problem recently I was involved with a corporate casting just the other day and within the agency now these are the talent that are accepted within the agency I'm getting demo after demo, commercial demo, because they were asking for commercial demos.  11:11 They weren't even asking for reads on the script yet and, as I remembered them, I had to listen to the first like 10 seconds of the demo. They were so hyped, pitchy, selly, like over the top, wild crazy. You know big car sales and I'm thinking to myself Most of the stuff we do is really not that. Yeah. Yeah, it's much more of an earthy delivery, much more of a real delivery, and a lot of them got ditched in terms of not being submitted, just because of that it amazes me that demo producers, I think that you know.  11:45 - Anne (Host) Then you're shopping around for a demo producer. I think your demo producer needs to be current and relevant. And so when you're shopping for a producer for your demo, that you listen to other demos that are produced by them and hopefully you've done your homework beforehand and listen, like if you're going to get a commercial demo, listen to what commercials are out there lately, and not, I mean, even on the radio, right where I think radio is a little bit more dynamic, a little more, you know, focused on the voice, because there's no media outside of music behind it. I feel like you can be a little bit more dynamic with your acting, but even then it's not so high-pitched. And yeah, the car ads, yes, some of them are.  12:28 - Lau (Host) And the sound effects. Like I don't know if talent realized. We don't want to hear tons of sound effects in your first read or two. You want to hear it. So one more thing, annie, I just want to mention. I forgot to mention it earlier. When they're submitting to the agency, if I like them or their demo, I'll say, hey, can you submit me a couple raw reads?  12:46 - Anne (Host) I want totally raw reads and typically they love that you can gauge their studio that way. Absolutely.  12:54 - Lau (Host) And their voice. Like is that their voice? Was anything overly processed or overly?  12:59 - Anne (Host) Yeah, I think that's so important because you don't want to have the demo and that's, I think, that probably a lot of agents, if they don't ask for that, they'll know in a matter of like a couple of auditions whether or not you have the acting chops to be able to back up what you had on your demo or what might've been directed right for you on the demo. And we've talked about that a lot of times, and Cliff Zellman is famous for saying a demo is a promise, a demo is a promise, and so when you submit, a demo to someone.  13:27 you want to make sure that you can back that up, that you can produce that same sort of delivery. Maybe not You're not an audio engineer and you probably don't have a bank of music and you don't have a bed of music or sound effects but you need to be able to put that delivery to the test. Someone just sent me one of my talents.  13:45 - Lau (Host) He's so great. He just sent me a monster demo in honor of Halloween and it was so great and I said his name is Michael.  13:52 I said Michael, I'm just curious how much of this is processed. He said Lau, none of it. This is my voice. I was so impressed by that. I mean, I was like so impressed because once in a while we'll have an animation that comes through Actually more and more so now than last year and they'll look for those kinds of characters, they'll look for those kinds of sound effects, they'll look for that stuff. And just knowing he can produce that without overly being produced in a studio, just his voice is just really incredible. So I would say, put your natural stuff up front for a commercial agency, like, go as natural and real and authentic as you can up front and then do your high-pitchy stuff later in the demo.  14:34 - Anne (Host) Well, do that in a character demo, or do that in an animation demo, or do that or put it towards the end. In a demo that yeah put it in a demo, like you just told. Now see, I don't want, I don't want the bosses to get confused because you just talked about a monster demo, so monster demo is going to be different than a commercial demo.  14:50 Right, I demo. Right, I mean you're talking about, like I mean, a commercial demo. You would want to hear what it sounds like with the music underneath it. However, I think you have to be careful that you don't have something that's way overproduced and there will be some demo producers that might do that and so I think that you have to really listen with a critical ear. If you're you know. If you're shopping around for a demo producer, what do they do? What have they done recently? And sometimes it's hard when you're first starting out in voiceover because you don't know what a good demo sounds like and hopefully you know. If you've done your research on the Internet, you've heard examples of good demos versus maybe not so good demos.  15:34 And I'm like just because a demo exists doesn't mean it's a good one.  15:37 - Lau (Host) No, of course not, and I'm glad you brought that up too, because I have been really annoyed by overproduced sound effects, like, sometimes I feel like the producers, the audio engineers, the demo producers are showing off. And why do I say that? Number one, I don't need to hear a sound effect in every moment, in between words or sentences. I don't want that at all. The other thing I don't want is oh, I almost lost my train of thought.  16:04 - Anne (Host) Don't detract from the voice with the production of it.  16:07 - Lau (Host) Oh, I know what, it is Too long. So the demo producers are either, as you said, they're archaic and they don't know what they're doing and they're from 1962, or they're showing off because it's 90 seconds, it's two minutes, it's 2.15. And I'm like I'm not listening to that.  16:25 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) Who's going?  16:25 - Anne (Host) to listen to that right, but the producers are showing off. That's too long for a commercial demo.  16:31 - Lau (Host) Absolutely Way too long, way too long.  16:33 - Anne (Host) So I'm thinking today Not too long for a non-broadcast narration, though, like a minute and a half to two minutes that's. That's normal, of course not.  16:39 - Lau (Host) No, of course not, and so I would say the one another thing I see is sounding like one long read, the whole thing lacking variety, lacking change Range, and that's to me in the coaching in the direction. It's like understanding. It just can't be about the sound effects. It has to be authentically about the voice actor being able to internally shift the mood and a variety of styles too.  17:05 - Anne (Host) I hear a lot of demos with a lot of like first person dialogues in them and to me that the first person dialogue to me is kind of a kind of a cheat, because if you're going to produce because if you're going to produce somebody before they're really ready, because not every commercial is a first-person dialogue.  17:23 It's not like hey, I just went to John Camp Ford and it's not all a dialogue. There's a lot of more third-person, second-person, and so if your demo is not demonstrating that and me as a casting person, I think you also love that A lot of times demo producers will throw those first person reads in there. Like the whole demo will be a first person read and I'm like, well, that's not really showcasing the entire range of acting that I would need for a national commercial, which is not all. You're not on camera actor there. Typically it's not always first person, it's like you're talking about a pharmaceutical in the third person. So how do you sound in that? So your demo has to have the styles that are out there now and not just one style and that one style right, that first person dialogue may show a lot of characters that you can do and it can show a range of emotion, but it doesn't show your acting in something that's not written in that style.  18:19 - Lau (Host) Good point, yeah, totally good point. And what about what's, as you're saying, what's trending out there now, like I'm really tired of hearing about, you know, maybelline, mascara or Lexus, if I hear another read with some of the same products over and over again or Dove chocolate it's kind of like guys.  18:38 I know that you didn't do those commercials because I recognize the script from the online library that a million people have. So, being very careful, you don't need to have a real job on your demo. You can have studio reads, that's fine, but it has to be updated, thought out in terms of what are the trends of today, like, maybe we don't eat as much chocolate, maybe we're having, you know, sugar-free chocolate, maybe it's, you know, I don't know whatever it is, but what is trending today and what makes you sound relevant to being a working talent today versus something from five or 10 or 15 years ago?  19:16 - Anne (Host) It's so interesting that you were talking about the L'Oreal makeup read, which is, it's always that one sound, that kind of, you know that sexy kind of L'Oreal Maybelline, and so what's interesting is how has that trend changed, right? Has it changed? Are there now more or maybe different brands that are out there that are not using that particular sound? I just because I know you referenced Dove chocolate and so I was just referencing the makeup commercials as well, right, which really took a long time for them to change, and now they're slowly changing Totally.  19:49 Now they're changing, so I don't need to hear that typical read of that promo-y sound. That's right, it's nice to hear something that's different, that is relevant for today, I mean, and you know how I know a change is occurring.  20:04 - Lau (Host) It's what we said in the last podcast that we just recorded. It's about reading your specs. So, for instance, we just got specs in for a corporate audition. For instance, we just got specs in for a corporate audition and in there, as we're reading it as the agents, it says no vocal fry, please. What does that tell me? They don't care about your voice. They could care less about you. It's about that delivery of like hi, I'm talking about finance. Now I'm on a vocal fry. I can't even do it, but I'm on a vocal fry. They don't want that anymore. They want more real people, and more real people do not speak on a vocal fry, yeah.  20:42 - Anne (Host) And more real people. Right, I will say. I will say, more real young people do talk a little bit with upspeak and so that is a trend that we got. I I've been. You know I'm traditionally against that, but again, I'm doing a lot of non-broadcast narration stuff and I feel like, if you can't use upspeak yet, because even even younger people, when I, when I've I've done a lot of research in the corporate world when they're speaking publicly about their product is there's not upspeak, they're more authoritative and that, yeah, it's very interesting because, you know, I'll let it happen once in a while in a script, because if the voice is young, it's a natural occurrence and a natural tendency. But if you're in your 50s and you do upspeak, I'm not, no, it's generational, it's generational.  21:29 We don't tend to do that and you might hang out and you might have kids, you might have kids, you might have kids. That's up speak. And then that kind of affected you. However, when you're delivering a commercial on I don't know, depends Up speak. It just doesn't belong there, it just doesn't. It just doesn't so, it doesn't belong with the demo. So, understand the styles and the trends, and that's something that anybody can do for free by simply watching commercials, by simply surfing the internet and looking at corporate you know, corporate videos and there's any genre looking at animation. I mean really just study and listen to what the voices are.  22:04 - Lau (Host) I got another tip. Yeah, I got another tip about that. Gone are the days where we used to have completely separate demos for English and then another language. Now you can certainly do that and that's great, but you don't have to. If you're making a commercial demo, I love a bilingual demo or a trilingual demo. So if you speak more than one language, I need to know what it is. If you do authentic accents, I need to know what it is.  22:25 - Anne (Host) I'll even put it on a corporate demo or a medical demo because I'll put and what I'll do is maybe I'll do a dialogue spot that has you'll be talking to the younger son in English, but then you'll turn to the father, who doesn't speak English and only speak Spanish, and then have the rest of the conversation in Spanish, and that spot alone showcases that this talent is bilingual and so that works. So not just for commercial but also for non-broadcast, absolutely.  22:53 - Lau (Host) Yeah, and we're in a global world, so I know you know that ad campaign. Thank you, captain Obvious. You know that was at Travelocity or something, kayak or something. I feel like it's this one. I talk to talent. It's like Not only put your best suit forward, and forward first, but do the things that you would be cast in Like. Don't do stretch pieces, don't do like if I'm 35, don't try to do a 70-year-old piece.  23:22 - Anne (Host) Don't do that. I'm saying if you're like in your 50s, don't do a millennial read on your commercial demo.  23:29 Because, first of all, it doesn't fit. I think we were talking about this on the last podcast. It's like I don't audition for 20-something voices, even though I have a younger voice, because it's not just about the voice and the sound of it, it's about the style and it's about the authenticity of it as well. Right, which is we understand why we want authentic voices. Right, it makes sense that your life experience dictates the style and the tone and the gravitas and the subtext and the acting that goes into delivering a message.  24:01 - Lau (Host) Save it for your character demo if it's appropriate, yeah, and your coach will help you to see. If it's appropriate, put it on your character demo, right, because we're back to having adults doing kids' voices. Now for character work we are. So you know you got to keep your finger on the trends, keep your finger on the pulse of what's happening in the industry and what's going on and reflect the work that you would actually do and be cast in.  24:25 - Anne (Host) Adults doing kids' work is. There's a lot of times that tends to make it easier with the legal aspects of things. Is that not correct? Yeah?  24:34 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) It does.  24:34 - Anne (Host) So, like an adult, can work longer, can work different hours, and that also translates to on-camera as well, right Lau? Yeah, though I'll tell you we don't have as many problems in the voiceover world because the jobs tend to be quicker.  24:46 - Lau (Host) Oh, yeah, unless they're running a recurring character. They tend to be quicker.  24:58 - Anne (Host) It's more the on-camera stuff. Yeah, right, that's much harder, so we'll do 18 to play 12 or 19 to play 14, because of all the laws involved with education. Well, that's the way it's been for such a long time, right, yeah, forever, forever and ever, yeah, forever. And on camera, absolutely.  25:05 - Lau (Host) But, as you said, like you do your due diligence, you do your homework. We have to do our homework too, all the time about our industry, what's cooking, what's happening, what are the jobs in the genre we want to be going out for, and that should be reflected on your demo, not the old read from you know, the old announcer read from 1991. Right and I'm getting.  25:30 - Anne (Host) Yeah, absolutely. I mean, in addition to all that right, what should be on the demo? I just have an increasing number of people who are like, well, I can't afford my demo but or I can't afford, well, I can't afford the training, but I want to get a demo so I can start working. So it's kind of like what came first, the chicken or the egg. It it's tough because you really need the training so that you can execute and deliver the spots on your demo. That will get you the work. And so if I'm a demo producer, that's just going to direct you into those reads. By the time you get into your own studio you're not going to be able to recreate them.  26:08 - Lau (Host) And we've covered this in numerous episodes of VO Boss in that like don't come in with desperation, don't come in with no capital, don't come in at a deficit. Come in where you've got a little bit of abundance and say I want to get the most effective portfolio product that represents me, because I know I'm going to get a return on this over time if it is industry standard and represents me well, if I DIY it, you get what you pay for.  26:35 - Anne (Host) Yeah, exactly, and you know, I do have a number of students as well who say that I'm saving up for a demo, but I want to start working and so I want to get an agent. And what most people don't understand this is slightly off topic but kind of in a parallel path Most people that come into this industry not understanding that an agent primarily deals in broadcast. So you can have an e-learning demo, but you're not going to get an agent with that. You need to have a commercial demo or whatever the agent specializes in for the most part, any type of broadcast. So you can't just you have to have a great demo, a great commercial demo, to land an agent, and then, once you have an agent, that's not going to be 100% of your work, or nor should it be 100% of your work.  27:18 And so most people are like well, I'm going to direct market and I'm like, do you know how hard it is to direct market? And I'm not saying that you should, because most people right now are saying nay to the pay to plays, right, because it's like, oh, I don't like this pay to play. I feel like they're taking my money, it's hard, I can't get a job, but also you need to, you need to present yourself with opportunities and so, yes, direct marketing is great, but that's also, that is also a path that doesn't happen overnight. Direct marketing. It is very much a timing issue with direct marketing and it's going to be.  27:48 It's a marathon, not a sprint, and that can make people kind of put off and you know they're going to be frustrated, they're not going to be able to get work right away, and that's, I think, that cycle that most new people coming into the industry they go through. They have that cycle where they can't afford, like they have that illusion in their head that it's just talking behind a mic and it doesn't require a lot of work and so therefore, they can create their own demo so they can save some money and then they can start getting work right away. And unfortunately, that's just not how typically the industry works.  28:24 - Lau (Host) No, it's not.  28:24 They're going to have to adjust and really manage those unrealistic expectations those unrealistic expectations, because I'm quite certain that many, many students around the world who are going into programs to be an accountant, a doctor, a lawyer, are not coming in with tremendous amounts of money, but they have to be resourceful to figure out how to get their education so that they can train and get an internship and work their way up. And it's the same with us. We're just on a tighter timeline. We don't need to go through four years of school or eight years of college necessarily, and that's a great point.  28:56 It's a great point Most people.  28:58 - Anne (Host) they think there's no time involved. So it's like that's right, but there is some time involved. I mean, there is some training involved. But yeah, I think what a great discussion Again. Yet another discussion on demos. What a great discussion again, yet another discussion on demos. But, guys, hopefully it's one that's current and relevant now for you, those of you out there that are really thinking about getting into this career just reiterating how important your demo is in order to help you to move forward and have a career and get work broadcast, non-broadcast, whatever genre.  29:30 - Lau (Host) Yes, yes.  29:32 - Anne (Host) Fantastic. Thank you, Lau, for having this lovely conversation. I loved it. I'm going to give a great big shout out to our sponsor, ipdtl.

Sport has always been central to Nike's identity, not just as a business, but as a force for human potential. This commitment extends to the social issues at the heart of youth athletics today, particularly surrounding keeping youth in sports and connected to physical activity and elevating the role of caring, well-equipped coaches. With young people today navigating unprecedented levels of stress and lack of physical activity, coaches play an invaluable role in providing community, restorative power, and safe spaces. Nike has been at the center of this work for decades, stemming from its belief that if you have a body, you're an athlete—and that every athlete deserves access and the opportunity to thrive.We invited Vanessa Garcia-Brito, Vice President and Chief Impact Officer at Nike, to share how Nike is reimagining the landscape of youth athletics and building purpose-driven programs. Vanessa unpacked the insights behind Nike's “Coach the Dream” initiative, the importance of caring and culturally aware coaches, and why investing in girls' coaching is non-negotiable for long-term impact. She also emphasized the role of partnerships, with organizations like Dove and Spotify, and in meeting girls where they are to dismantle barriers to participation. This episode offers a powerful blueprint for how a long-established, trusted brand has integrated purpose, community relevance, and business value to drive meaningful change.Listen for insights on:Building impact programs around what your company uniquely does bestDesigning scalable tools for global activationEstablishing clear long-term goals with flexibility for real-time adaptationAdvice for young professionals looking to work in social impact Resources + Links:Vanessa Garcia-Brito's LinkedInCoach the DreamIf You Let Me Play (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Vanessa Garcia-Brito, Nike (02:54) - About Vanessa (03:58) - Early Influences (06:09) - Chief Impact Officer (06:59) - Superpower (08:17) - Nike's Purpose (10:09) - Key Campaigns (12:23) - If You Can See It, She Can Be It (16:33) - Partnerships (18:08) - Coaches (19:00) - Coaching Girls Guide (22:09) - Inspirational Story (24:29) - Measurements (27:00) - Advice for Colleagues (28:34) - Advice for Young People (30:17) - Last Word (31:19) - Wrap Up

Vi siete mai chiesti perché in italiano esistono due parole diverse per dire "lui"? Perché a volte leggiamo "egli" nei libri classici e altre volte sentiamo "lui" nelle conversazioni quotidiane? Questo articolo esplorerà in profondità la differenza tra queste due forme, la loro evoluzione storica e, soprattutto, quando usare l'una o l'altra nella comunicazione moderna. Come e Quando Usare EGLI, Storia e Significato Cosa Significano "LUI" ed "EGLI"? Sia "lui" che "egli" sono pronomi personali di terza persona singolare maschile. In pratica, entrambi significano la stessa cosa: si riferiscono a una persona di sesso maschile di cui stiamo parlando. Per esempio: Giuseppe è un bravo studente. Lui studia medicina.Giuseppe è un bravo studente. Egli studia medicina. Come si può notare, il significato è identico! Ma allora perché esistono due parole diverse per esprimere lo stesso concetto? La risposta ha a che fare con la funzione grammaticale e con l'evoluzione della lingua italiana nel corso dei secoli. La Differenza Fondamentale: Funzione di SOGGETTO Ecco la prima regola cruciale da comprendere: "egli" può essere usato SOLO come soggetto della frase, mentre "lui" può essere usato sia come soggetto che in altre funzioni grammaticali. Questa è la distinzione più importante tra le due forme. Vediamo degli esempi concreti per chiarire meglio: Come Soggetto (chi compie l'azione) Lui/Egli parla italiano molto bene. ✓Lui/Egli è arrivato in ritardo. ✓ In questi casi, entrambe le forme sono grammaticalmente corrette perché funzionano come soggetto della frase. Come Complemento Oggetto Ho visto lui ieri sera. ✓Ho visto egli ieri sera. ✗ (SBAGLIATO!) Dopo una Preposizione Vado al cinema con lui. ✓Vado al cinema con egli. ✗ (SBAGLIATO!) Dopo il Verbo Essere per Identificare Qualcuno Sei tu? No, sono lui! ✓Sei tu? No, sono egli! ✗ (SBAGLIATO!) In Costruzioni Enfatiche È lui che ha mangiato la torta! ✓È egli che ha mangiato la torta! ✗ (SBAGLIATO!) Quindi, è fondamentale ricordare: "egli" è molto più limitato nell'uso rispetto a "lui" e può apparire esclusivamente nella posizione di soggetto! La Storia di "LUI" ed "EGLI": Un Viaggio nel Tempo Per comprendere appieno l'uso di questi pronomi, è essenziale fare un viaggio nella storia della lingua italiana. Questo percorso storico aiuterà a capire perché esistono queste due forme e come si sono evolute nel tempo. Le Origini Latine EGLI è la forma più antica. Deriva dal latino "ille" (che significava "quello") ed è stata la forma standard per secoli nella lingua italiana scritta e formale. Nel Medioevo e nel Rinascimento, per scrivere in italiano corretto, era necessario usare "egli". I grandi maestri della letteratura italiana come Dante, Boccaccio e Ariosto utilizzavano esclusivamente questa forma nei loro scritti. LUI, invece, ha un'origine interessante: deriva dal latino "illui", che era una forma del dativo (cioè "a quello"). All'inizio, "lui" veniva usato solo dopo le preposizioni, come "con lui", "per lui", eccetera, oppure come complemento oggetto ("Ho visto lui"). Tuttavia, nel linguaggio parlato, la gente ha cominciato a usare "lui" anche come soggetto perché era più semplice e diretto. E quando la lingua parlata cambia, anche quella scritta prima o poi segue. Pietro Bembo e le Sue "Regole" Un personaggio chiave in questa storia è Pietro Bembo, un linguista del Cinquecento che ha scritto un'opera fondamentale chiamata "Prose della volgar lingua" (pubblicata nel 1525). Bembo voleva stabilire quali fossero le regole del "buon italiano" e ha deciso che i pronomi soggetto corretti dovevano essere "egli" ed "ella". L'aspetto più sorprendente? Bembo ha addirittura criticato alcuni usi di Dante e Boccaccio (i più grandi scrittori italiani!) quando loro usavano "lui" come soggetto, sostenendo che lo facevano "per distrazione" o "per inavvertenza". Ci voleva un certo coraggio per affermare che Dante sbagliava! Le prescrizioni di Bembo sono state così influenti che "egli" ed "ella" sono rimasti la forma "ufficiale" per secoli, anche quando la gente comune non li usava più nella vita quotidiana. Ancora negli anni recenti, nelle scuole elementari italiane, si insegnavano i verbi così: io sonotu seiegli è (non "lui è"!)noi siamovoi sieteessi sono (non "loro sono"!) Oggi, quando si insegna italiano agli stranieri, si usano subito "lui", "lei" e "loro", perché sono le forme che si usano realmente nella comunicazione contemporanea! "Egli" nella Letteratura Italiana Nei grandi classici della letteratura italiana, "egli", "ella", "essi" ed "esse" sono onnipresenti. Ecco alcuni esempi significativi: Ludovico Ariosto - Orlando Furioso (1516) "Egli partì pieno d'onore e gloria""Ella piangeva la sorte sua infelice" Ugo Foscolo - Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis (1802) "Ella non mi ama e io l'adoro""Egli è troppo grande per questa terra" Alessandro Manzoni - I Promessi Sposi (prima edizione, 1827) "Egli entrò nella stanza con passo misurato""Ella rimase muta col capo chino" Alessandro Manzoni: Il Rivoluzionario dei Pronomi Manzoni merita un discorso particolare, perché è stato il primo grande scrittore a rendersi conto che "egli" ed "ella" stavano diventando antiquati e artificiali. Ha riscritto il suo capolavoro I Promessi Sposi molte volte proprio per modernizzare la lingua! Osservate questi numeri incredibili che dimostrano la sua evoluzione linguistica: Edizione del 1827: "egli" compare 862 volte, "lui" come soggetto 0 volte Edizione del 1840 (13 anni dopo): "egli" compare solo 64 volte, "lui" come soggetto compare 200 volte! Ma cosa è successo agli altri 600 "egli" circa? Semplice: Manzoni li ha eliminati, lasciando il soggetto implicito (ne parliamo tra poco!). Manzoni è stato un vero innovatore linguistico che ha anticipato i tempi! Le Forme Femminili e Plurali: "ELLA", "ESSI", "ESSE" È importante conoscere anche le altre forme che esistevano nel sistema pronominale tradizionale: ELLA È il femminile di "egli". Oggi è praticamente scomparsa dalla lingua parlata e scritta, completamente sostituita da "lei". ESSO ed ESSA Erano usati principalmente per cose inanimate (oggetti, concetti, idee), non per persone. Oggi sono quasi completamente scomparsi, sostituiti da "questo/a", "quello/a", o semplicemente omessi. Esempio antico: "Il viaggio è stato lungo. Esso mi ha stancato molto."Italiano moderno: "Il viaggio è stato lungo. Mi ha stancato molto." (senza pronome) oppure "Questo mi ha stancato molto." ESSI ed ESSE Erano i plurali di "egli/ella" e "esso/essa". Anche questi oggi sono sostituiti da "loro" quando si parla di persone, o vengono omessi quando si parla di cose. Quando Usare "EGLI" e Quando Usare "LUI": Le Regole Pratiche Ecco la parte più importante per chi studia o usa l'italiano: quando si deve usare una forma o l'altra? Vediamo le regole pratiche con esempi concreti. Usate "LUI" quando: 1. Parlate in situazioni informali o quotidiane "Paolo voleva imparare a parlare italiano come un vero madrelingua. Lui ha quindi acquistato un corso intensivo.""Dove vai?" "Vado da lui." 2. Scrivete testi moderni, email, messaggi, articoli di giornale "Il sindaco ha dichiarato che lui non si dimetterà." 3. Volete dare enfasi al soggetto o creare un contrasto "Lui, a differenza di molti suoi colleghi, non cerca scorciatoie.""Mentre loro celebrano il successo, lui rimane umile." 4. Dovete usare il pronome dopo una preposizione o in qualsiasi posizione che non sia il soggetto "Parlo con lui ogni giorno.""Questo regalo è per lui." 5. In costruzioni enfatiche con il verbo essere "È lui che ha vinto!""Sono proprio loro i responsabili!" Usate "EGLI" quando: 1. Scrivete testi molto formali (documenti ufficiali, atti legali, testi burocratici, scritti scientifici) "Egli dichiara di rinunciare ai propri diritti.""Il professore ha pubblicato una nuova ricerca. Egli sostiene che..." 2. Volete imitare uno stile letterario antico "Egli camminava solo per le vie della città deserta." 3. Fate riferimenti storici o parlate di personaggi del passato in modo formale "Garibaldi sbarcò in Sicilia nel 1860. Egli guidò le sue truppe verso nord." Attenzione! "EGLI" Oggi è Quasi in Via di Estinzione È fondamentale comprendere che nell'italiano contemporaneo, "egli" è usato sempre meno. La maggior parte degli italiani usa quasi esclusivamente "lui", anche quando scrive! "Egli" suona molto formale, letterario, e a volte può sembrare addirittura un po' strano o pomposo se usato in contesti normali. Immaginate di incontrare un amico per strada e di dirgli: "Ho visto Matteo. Egli mi ha detto che domani viene alla festa." Il vostro amico probabilmente vi guarderebbe in modo strano! È troppo formale per una conversazione normale. Il problema è che alcuni italiani pensano che "lui", "lei" e "loro" siano un po' informali per la scrittura formale. Si sentono a disagio a usare "lui" in un testo importante, ma allo stesso tempo "egli" suona troppo antico! Questo crea un certo imbarazzo: da un lato abbiamo forme che sembrano vecchie, dall'altro forme che sembrano troppo casual. Qual è la soluzione? La risposta più comune è: omettere completamente il pronome! E questo ci porta al prossimo punto fondamentale... Il "Soggetto Nullo" o "Soggetto Zero": La Soluzione Italiana Ecco una delle caratteristiche più interessanti dell'italiano: possiamo omettere completamente il pronome soggetto! I linguisti chiamano questo fenomeno "soggetto nullo" o "soggetto zero". L'italiano, come lo spagnolo e il portoghese, è una lingua "pro-drop" (dall'inglese pronoun-dropping). Questo significa che possiamo "lasciar cadere" il pronome. Al contrario, in lingue come l'inglese, il francese o il tedesco,

In this powerful episode of Scam Rangers, Ayelet Biger-Levin sits down with scam psychology expert Martina Dove to dive deep into the psychology of scams. Martina shares her insights on the psychological tactics used by scammers and the most effective methods for prevention and intervention.The conversation dives deep into the origins of Martina's research, which began with her interest in the Barnum effect , a phenomenon where people accept vague feedback as true when it applies to everyone. Barnum, an 1800s magician, even wrote a book on scams that are still in operation today, like romance scams and lotteries. Martina emphasizes that scams are now a "product that caters for everyone", as vulnerability depends on individual circumstances and personality, not IQ.Key Takeaways: The Scam Lifecycle and Psychology The Scammer's Hook: Scams, which now feature excellent grammar due to AI, prey on either opportunity (like job or romance scams) or fear (like sextortion). Once a victim responds to the initial communication, it's difficult to stop engaging. Grooming: A "Wear-Down" Process: Scams that go on for a long time—like pig butchering—evoke multiple visceral influences, starting with excitement and then inducing anxiety and fear of loss. The scammer will subtly withdraw or use verbal abuse if the victim does not comply. This wear-down period, which can last months, can cause victims to lose executive functions, affecting their memory and decision-making. Targeting Trust: Scammers groom victims to distrust their bank by teaching them that the bank will try to stop them, or by creating elaborate stories, such as a regulator investigating internal fraud. By the time the bank intervenes, the victim is a "worn out person" who truly believes the scammer's narrative. Effective Intervention: Empathy is Key: Authoritarian warnings, like "Don't panic" or "Never click links," are proven not to work, as they trigger a physiological reaction and make people switch off. Instead, interventions—especially from "Break the Spell" teams—need to be conversational and empathetic. Martina suggests asking the victim to simply "stall" the transfer, which often causes the scammer to escalate pressure, providing a warning sign to the victim.You can find more about Martina on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martina-dove/A link to her book: https://www.routledge.com/The-Psychology-of-Fraud-Persuasion-and-Scam-Techniques-Understanding-What-Makes-Us-Vulnerable/Dove/p/book/9781032953908This podcast is hosted by Ayelet Biger-Levin, who has spent the last 15 years building technology to help financial institutions authenticate their customers and identify fraud.

Host Ted Asregadoo is flying solo this week to dive into the music of a band that defined the 1990s alternative scene for him: Belly. Belly, fronted by the immensely talented singer-songwriter Tanya Donelly, ascended quickly through the '90s alt-rock ranks. Donelly's journey is a fascinating tapestry of essential bands, starting with Throwing Muses (1986-1991) and a short but significant tenure in The Breeders, before she formed Belly with brothers Tom and Chris Gorman, later joined by bassist Gail Greenwood. The band captured the attention of alternative radio with standout hits like "Feed the Tree," "Slow Dog," "Now They'll Sleep," and "Super-Connected." They went from underground darlings to becoming the "it" alt band in 1995, landing the cover of Rolling Stone and performing on late-night shows. However, after a grueling tour supporting their second album, King (1995)—Ted's personal favorite—Belly famously broke up. Donelly then embarked on a solo career, marked by the release of three albums and her collaborative Swan Song Series EPs. But the story didn't end there! In this episode, Ted explores: The band's rise and sudden break-up in the mid-'90s. Tanya Donelly's evolution as an artist through her solo work. The profound personal connection the music had to Ted's own transformative decade of the 1990s. The unexpected reunion! The band got back together to record the 2018 album Dove and is now, as of this recording, wrapping up a 2025 tour celebrating the 30th Anniversary of King. Join Ted for a nostalgic trip down memory lane to celebrate two really solid albums that meant—and still mean—the world to him. Steve Fox's Old School sponsors the Planet LP podcast!

Dove mettete l'attenzione, va l'energia: portate l'attenzione al bello. Gli insegnamenti di Fabio al Volo del Mattino.

Trugoy the Dove lebt! Zweieinhalb Jahre nach seinem Tod bauen die beiden verbliebenen «De La»-Mitglieder – zusammen mit Gastverses von u. a. Nas! Common! Slick Rick! – ihrem verstorbenen Wegbegleiter ein Denkmal. Und das ist mehr als eine pure Nostalgie-Geschichte. Klar, De La Soul bleiben auch auf ihrem ersten Album seit fast zehn Jahren fest im Sound des goldenen Zeitalter des Hip-Hops verwurzelt, zu keinem Moment auf diesem über 70-minütigen Werk hat man jedoch das ungute Gefühl, hier ein paar Grossvätern, die den Abgang verpasst haben, beim krampfhaften Aufleben alter Zeiten zuzuhören – im Gegenteil. Die Produktionen und die Flows sind smooth und jazzy wie immer – und beweisen nebenbei, dass Hip-Hop längst mehr als ein pures «Young Man's Game» ist. «Cabin in the Sky» ist das neue Sounds!

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Dove in the Distant Oak.” A miktam of David when the Philistines captured him in Gath.   1  God, be merciful to me because people are chasing me. The battle has pressed me all day long.   2  My enemies have chased me all day. There are many of them fighting me.   3  When I am afraid, I will trust you.   4  I praise God for his word. I trust God. So I am not afraid. What can human beings do to me?   5  All day long they twist my words. All their evil plans are against me.   6  They wait. They hide. They watch my steps. They hope to kill me.   7  God, do not let them escape. Punish the foreign nations in your anger.   8  You have recorded my troubles. You have kept a list of my tears. Aren't they in your records?   9  On the day I call for help, my enemies will be defeated. I know that God is on my side.   10  I praise God for his word to me. I praise the Lord for his word.   11  I trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can people do to me?   12  God, I must keep my promises to you. I will give you my offerings to thank you.   13  You have saved me from death. You have kept me from being defeated. So I will walk with God in light among the living.

Listen in as trailblazing entrepreneur Merrick Rosenberg and Bernadette Fiaschetti discuss ‘Personality Intelligence: Master The Art of Being You (For Your Sake and Everyone Else's).“An understanding of all the personality styles - not just our own - reveals the path to becoming the highest expression of ourselves.”Merrick Rosenberg is a trailblazing entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and the foremost expert on how personality shapes behavior, relationships, and success. In 2012, he revolutionized the DISC personality model by reimagining the classic letters as four memorable birds—Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl—making the styles instantly visual, relatable, and unforgettable.Merrick is the co-founder of Team Builders Plus (1991) and Take Flight Learning (2012), and has brought his innovative approach to more than two-thirds of the Fortune 100. He's the author of eight award-winning books on personality and leadership, including Taking Flight!, The Chameleon, and Which Bird Are You?, and is the creative force behind the acclaimed short film BirdBrains, Inc., winner of 23 film festival awards. His newest book, Personality Intelligence: Master the Art of Being You (For Your Sake and Everyone Else's), was released in September 2025 and offers a bold new framework for personal and professional transformation.Merrick's journey began in management consulting, where he quickly realized that real change requires more than process—it demands people who understand and work well with each other. Driven by this insight, he earned an MBA in Organizational Development and founded one of the first team-building companies in the U.S. From there, he pioneered a new era of personality-based training that blends self-awareness with interactive learning. Through his energetic keynotes, engaging programs, and innovative tools, Merrick continues to help people unlock their potential by mastering the one thing they carry with them everywhere: their personality.In his newest book, Personality Intelligence: Master the Art of Being You (Sept 2025) offers a reimagination of the traditional DISC method of personality assessments into four intuitive birds (Eagle, Parrot, Dove, Owl). The personality test created by Merrick has been taken by more than 15 million people and is now used by two-thirds of the Fortune 100. Through real-world stories, celebrity profiles (such as Keanu Reeves, The Rock, and Taylor Swift), and strategies for work, leadership, relationships, and parenting, Personality Intelligence reveals how to level up through four stages of “Personality Intelligence” to become a more self-aware, adaptable, and successful version of yourself.“Keanu Reeves' Dove nature has made him renowned not just for his kindness, but also for his acts of selflessness and generosity that exemplify the Level 3 Dove,” says Rosenberg. “Swifties love the fact that no one can mess with Swift and get away with it. That's her Eagle side. Dwayne Johnson embodies all four styles. Understanding your personality is only the beginning. Real transformation comes from intentional action.” CONNECT:Personal website:  https://www.MerrickRosenberg.comCompany website: https://www.TakeFlightLearning.comX: @MerrickRInstagram: Merrick_RosenbergFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MerrickRLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/merrickrosenberg

Michelle ha 44 anni ed è cresciuta a Salerno in un palazzo “bene”, abitato da avvocati, notai e professori universitari, in uno dei quartieri più facoltosi della città. La sua realtà quotidiana, però, è di tutt'altro genere. I soldi, in casa sua, non bastano mai. Il padre passa da un lavoro all'altro, la madre—francese, senza rete né lingua—resta a casa. Per Michelle bambina, la sensazione è quella di vivere sempre un passo indietro. «Le mie amiche andavano tutte a danza o in palestra, ma io non potevo. Mi bastava accompagnarle fino alla porta per sentirmi un po' parte di quell'universo. Poi, quando mi chiudevano la porta della palestra in faccia — perché giustamente dovevano ballare o allenarsi — sentivo davvero quel senso di solitudine. I soldi hanno sempre rappresentato la linea di demarcazione tra me e loro».Quando la famiglia si trasferisce in provincia, a Bellizzi, la distanza sociale si attenua e Michelle ritrova un po' di equilibrio. Finito il liceo, si iscrive a Scienze della Comunicazione con il sogno di diventare giornalista. Il suo obiettivo è semplice: riscattare quella sensazione di svantaggio che la accompagna dall'infanzia. Ma presto arriva la realtà del Sud post-universitario a spegnere le sue ambizioni: accantona il sogno giornalistico e inanella una serie di lavori precari, l'ultimo dei quali dura tre anni, in Feltrinelli. E termina con un licenziamento. Ogni volta che pensa di essersi stabilizzata, qualcosa cede. È il suo “copione finanziario”, come direbbe lo studioso Brad Klontz: un'eredità emotiva che ti dice che la stabilità è provvisoria.Intanto Michelle si sposa, diventa madre, e nel 2012 tenta la strada imprenditoriale. Apre un bistrot letterario assieme a due socie, con un finanziamento pubblico: un luogo vibrante, pieno di eventi, ma dove lei guadagna 600 euro al mese lavorando 13 ore al giorno. Dopo cinque anni lascia l'attività. A quel punto intraprende un dottorato triennale in moda e digital transformation. Ma di nuovo la strada si restringe: l'Italia abolisce gli assegni di ricerca ma non finanzia i nuovi contratti, lasciando centinaia di ricercatori in un limbo retribuito a malapena.Oggi Michelle attende l'esito di un progetto di ricerca finanziato dall'Europa e, nel frattempo, ha aperto la Partita Iva e si occupa di formazione aziendale. Sa di valere, lo vede nel lavoro, nello studio, nella costanza con cui si è reinventata, ma fatica ancora a conciliare questo valore con un'incertezza economica che continua a pesare sulla sua vita. «Vivere nella precarietà economica mi fa soffrire, perché è qualcosa che non merito, soprattutto per le capacità e le competenze che ho maturato».

In this heartfelt, humorous, and deeply human conversation, Ian sits down with longtime friend — artist, filmmaker, professor, and Enneagram Seven — Steve Taylor. You may know him as the legendary provocateur who "invented irony for Christians," but in this episode, we explore the terrain beneath the creativity, the energy, and the relentless forward motion that has defined so much of his life. Together we wade into the deeper waters of the second half of life — aging, character, grief, spiritual maturity, limitations, and the sacred invitation to move from doing to being. Steve speaks candidly about the shifting landscape of life at 67: the habits that no longer serve him the tender emergence of compassion learning to sit with grief rather than outrun it the uncomfortable art of slowing down how filmmaking and teaching have reshaped his inner life and the courageous (and often comical) struggle of a Seven learning to live in the present moment We talk about marriage, mortality, the ache of unfinished dreams, the sweetness of gratitude, the pains and gifts of aging, and the spiritual practices that are slowly rewiring Steve's relationship with presence. Tune in to hear this rich conversation about Enneagram transformation, emotional intelligence, creativity, and the inner work of becoming whole.     ABOUT STEVE TAYLOR Steve Taylor is a filmmaker, writer, producer and recording artist who earned his "Renaissance Man" stripes (Prism Magazine) from a body of work that's garnered him multiple Grammy, Billboard, Telly, Addy and Dove awards and nominations. A southern California native, he was raised in Denver, Colo., and studied music and film at Colorado University. In 1983, Taylor began a career as a recording artist that spanned 12 years, selling over one million albums worldwide and garnering him two Grammy nominations for "Meltdown" (1984) and "Squint" (1993). In the process, he made history as the only artist to twice win Billboard Music Video Awards for self-directed music videos. As a concert artist, Taylor headlined four international tours, including acclaimed appearances at L.A.'s Universal Amphitheater and London's Hammersmith Odeon. He was also lead singer in the MCA-signed modern rock band Chagall Guevara. Follow on Facebook or Instagram Sketch Film Website
