Podcasts about Elkins

In "When We Become Trees," Anna Elkins draws on 25 years of poems to explore roots, growth and the value of slowing down.

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features attorney Michael Elkins, founder of MLE Law Firm, to discuss the Protect College Sports Act, including its flaws and the potential impact if it's passed into law. Elkins believes the PCSA is essentially an attempt to bail the NCAA out of a mess the organization itself created. He details how it's a one-sided piece of legislation that, if passed, will "wind the clock back" on athletes and restrict their ability to earn in a free marketplace. College athletes will be the most impacted by the bill, yet, as Elkins explains, they have had far too little input into the shaping the legislation that could potentially remake the future of college sports. Elkins also believes if the bill is defeated — and he thinks it will die in the U.S. House of Representatives — that moving forward, schools will become much more likely to enforce their contracts with athletes. Hear about all of that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026. …and now for the rest of the stories…on today's daily304.com! #1 – From WV PRESS – Art and adventure come together in Elkins Something new is landing in the Elkins railyard. The Mon Forest Towns Partnership will unveil a new "canoe kiosk" sculpture on Saturday, September 19, with a ribbon cutting at 1 p.m. near the historic Darden Mill. The installation is part of Paint and Paddle, a collaboration involving WVU's Art Education program, local artist Kelson Thorne and the South Branch Career & Technical Center. Canoe kiosks are being installed in nine Mon Forest Towns communities, each featuring a unique design reflecting the character and history of its town. The sculptures also provide visitors with information about nearby hiking, rivers, trails and tourism opportunities. It's a creative way to connect people with both the communities and the outdoor adventures surrounding the Monongahela National Forest.

Guests travel aboard the Island Belle before stepping into an evening of period music, traditional dancing, storytelling and costumed interpreters. Admission also includes a guided mansion tour and horse-drawn wagon ride. An optional Harvest Supper is available by advance reservation. Harman and Margaret Blennerhassett built their elaborate island estate around 1800. A few years later, it became connected to former Vice President Aaron Burr and his mysterious western expedition, ultimately drawing the Blennerhassetts into one of the young nation's most controversial political episodes. The original mansion burned in 1811. Today's reconstructed mansion stands on the historic site, where visitors can experience the story more than two centuries later. Last year's event sold out and some 2026 departure times are already gone, so get your tickets today!

Two years later, she created Women, Wine & Waders so other women could experience those things too. Today, the business offers fly-casting clinics, guided adventures, retreats and educational programs on rivers and streams across West Virginia and beyond. Women have found fishing partners, travel companions, support systems and lasting friendships through the program. The business' growth was made possible in part by the West Virginia Small Business Development Center, which provided expert guidance and advice to Dunlap.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026. …and now for the rest of the stories…on today's daily304.com! #1 – From THE MAIN THING – What happens when life forces you to slow down? Kate Reed shares the main thing she's learned in her lifetime: Slow down. Then life gave that wisdom a whole new meaning. Reed, an Elkins-based wellness entrepreneur, returns to The Main Thing podcast for a conversation with host Skip Lineberg about entrepreneurship, burnout, family, friendship and recovering from a traumatic brain injury. Since her first appearance, Reed left a 12-year career with Leadership West Virginia to focus full time on Wonder and Grow, the organization she founded with longtime friend Valerie Hart. Their work uses mindfulness and connection with nature to help people navigate stress and burnout. Then a snowboarding accident left Reed with a serious concussion. Reed took two weeks completely off, with minimal screen time and only gentle walks. Time outside became an important part of slowing down and giving herself room to recover. Now, her original wisdom has evolved. Slow down and soften. Sometimes wisdom isn't just something you know. It's something life asks you to practice.

The West Virginia State Parks Foundation has launched its fall colors "Mountains Are Always Free" photo contest, inviting amateur and professional photographers to capture autumn across the state's parks, forests and rail trails. The category is fall color. Your photograph has to be taken at a West Virginia state park, state forest or rail trail, but what goes in the picture is up to you. The contest runs through Nov. 6. Read more: https://wvpress.org/wvpa-sharing/west-virginia-state-parks-foundation-announces-the-fall-colors-mountains-are-always-free-photo-contest/ #3 – From WV NEWS – West Virginia leads the nation in business survival Starting a business takes courage. Keeping one going takes something more. And West Virginia businesses are proving they can do it. A recently released business longevity study found that 57.6% of West Virginia businesses launched in 2019 were still operating five years later, giving the Mountain State the highest five-year business survival rate in the nation. The national average? 51.6%. West Virginia even edged out second-place Connecticut at 57.5%. That's especially notable because the businesses studied had to navigate five years that included the COVID-19 pandemic and major economic disruptions. Secretary of State Kris Warner credits entrepreneurs themselves along with years of collaboration among business organizations, educators, economic developers, lenders, workforce leaders, communities and state agencies. He also points to an expanding ecosystem of coaching, mentoring, accelerators, access-to-capital programs and entrepreneurship education.

Legendary banjo player Tony Trischka joins Dave Weekley ahead of his Sunday appearance on Mountain Stage at the Culture Center in Charleston. Trischka details Earl Jam, his project built around more than 200 previously unheard recordings of Earl Scruggs jamming with John Hartford between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s — tapes that arrived on a thumb drive from a friend in Syracuse and revealed a looser, blues-inflected side of Scruggs rarely captured on record. Trischka discusses his personal friendship with Scruggs, including recording a double banjo arrangement of Farewell Blues with him knee to knee in the studio, and recounts a formative late-night jam session with Hartford at the Augusta Heritage Workshop on the campus of Davis and Elkins College in Elkins, West Virginia. The conversation also touches on collaborators Sierra Ferrell and Molly Tuttle, Billy Strings' extraordinary rise from festival stages to 16,000-seat arenas, and how a Kingston Trio record set Trischka on the path to the banjo at age 14.

Congressional committees frequently use their subpoena power to compel witnesses to appear before them and testify. But appearing before Congress does not necessarily mean answering every question. When may a witness invoke the Fifth Amendment? Does a presidential pardon eliminate the privilege against self-incrimination, and if so, to what extent? And what options remain available to Congress when a witness declines to testify?These questions have taken on renewed significance following Dr. Anthony Fauci's invocation of the Fifth Amendment privilege in recent congressional testimony and the debate over the legal effect of the pardon he received from President Biden.Join us as our panel examines the constitutional and statutory framework governing congressional testimony, including the privilege against self-incrimination, grants of immunity, presidential pardons, and contempt of Congress, as well as the practical considerations facing both investigators and witnesses.Featuring:John G.

UFC Vegas 120 was not a good card on paper, but in practice, we got treated to a decent card with quite a few finishes. That's how these shows tend to go, though. You book a bunch of lower tier fighters and older guys/gals and you end up with some highlight reel moments. It's not that we don't appreciate them for what they are, it's that we're supposed to get higher quality matchups then the ones we normally get, being that this IS the UFC. The undercard finishes began with Julianna Miller submitting Ravena Oliveira via rear naked choke in the second round. Miles Johns would score a nice first round TKO of Gianni Vazquez to keep the ball rolling. Jose Montanha choked out Louie Sutherland, also in the first round. Diyar Nurgozhay got the buzzer-beater TKO of Bruno Lopes in the first round to close out the finishes for the prelims.Ty Miller and Billy Ray Goff had a spirited fight but Miller would take the win via TKO in the third round. Yadier Del Valle needed just 15 seconds to send Darren Elkins off to retirement. Thank you for all the damage done and taken, Mr. Elkins. Quillan Salkilld defeated Mateusz Gamrot bvia rear naked choke in the first round, securing his place as the next big thing and closing out the main card with a bang.

Chris Lawrence opens with a tribute to DNR Commissioner and West Virginia Trappers Association legend Janet Hamrick Hodge, who passed away overnight after a private battle with advanced cancer — read her resignation letter to the commission just days earlier. The show then tells the remarkable story of West Virginia's first-ever state record pumpkinseed sunfish, set by Ken Neher of Morgantown from a public pond in Preston County after a year and a half of targeted pursuit — a record that was broken within two weeks by Sierra Adamson of Beverly, who caught hers on a nightcrawler in the Tygart River in Elkins, and has since been broken a third time at Cheat Lake. DNR furbearer biologist Holly Morris closes the show explaining the science behind the Natural Resources Commission's decision to increase the otter trapping bag limit from one to two — stopping short of three due to population modeling showing the risk of regional extirpation — and addresses how the agency handles otter nuisance complaints and accidental catches above the limit.

Larry Jent is a Cherokee storyteller, Methodist pastor and musician living outside Elkins, West Virginia.  After readings about the stars and owls in Cherokee mythology we hear of the role of the The Creator, demi-god like figures such as Selu [Corn] and her husband Kana'ti [The Lucky Hunter], and animals in general. From religion and mythology to fascinating mysteries of archaeology and history we get into Native American copper mining both in North Carolina & The Great Lakes; the Chief Joseph stone/cuneiform tablet; Celtic legends and strange petroglyphs in West Virginia; Roman anecdotes and other documentary evidence of Native Americans discovering Europe before Columbus set sail in 1492. Circling back to Cherokee lore, Larry shares two personal numinous stories about birds - an owl and an eagle - arriving as messengers around the death of loved ones. Reading from Myths of the Cherokee collected by James Mooney. Follow Larry's schedule of his upcoming storytelling events at Facebook.com/Larry.Jent Support Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com

In Episode 323 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love interviews Alison Reynolds, Director of Digital Marketing at Vincent & Elkins, about the firm's major website redesign and what professional services firms must do to remain visible in the age of artificial intelligence. Alison shares lessons learned from an 18-month redesign project, including how AI-powered search is changing website strategy, why traditional SEO is evolving, and how firms must rethink content structure, user experience, site speed, and digital engagement. As generative AI increasingly becomes the first stop for research, law firms and professional services organizations must ensure their websites are optimized not just for Google, but for AI-driven discovery. The conversation explores practical strategies for improving website performance, increasing content visibility, leveraging AI for content recommendations, and measuring success through engagement metrics.

There's been an update when it comes to the case of Ashley Elkins, who prosecutors believe was killed by her ex-boyfriend. WWJ's Tony Ortiz and Tracey McCaskill have the afternoon's top news stories.

In Episode 346 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with Rudy A. Zacharias and Terry Elkins of About That... to explore one of the most misunderstood topics in business: branding. Drawing on decades of experience helping organizations navigate growth and transformation, Rudy and Terry explain why a brand is far more than a logo. It is the sum total of what people think, feel, and experience when they interact with your company. Together, they unpack the warning signs that your business may have outgrown its brand, the importance of aligning perception with reality, and why successful companies often reach a point where evolution becomes necessary.The conversation also provides a behind-the-scenes look at About That...'s own transformation from G Squared to its new identity. Rudy and Terry share the intentional process behind the rebrand, the challenges of balancing existing brand equity with future growth, and the critical role of employee buy-in, change management, and communication throughout the journey. Whether you're considering a full rebrand, a brand refresh, or simply want to better understand how your organization is perceived, this episode offers practical insights into building a brand that reflects who you are today and where you want to go tomorrow.Key Takeaways: A brand is not your logo. Your brand is the sum total of what people think, feel, and experience when they interact with your company.The biggest reason companies rebrand is misalignment. When who you are as a business no longer matches how you are perceived in the market, a rebrand may be necessary.Growth often creates branding challenges. As companies evolve, expand into new markets, add services, or change leadership, their original brand may no longer accurately represent them.Living things grow and living things evolve. Businesses that remain exactly the same year after year risk becoming stagnant and losing relevance.Rebranding should never start with design. Before changing logos, websites, or visual identity, organizations must first understand their values, purpose, positioning, and stakeholder perceptions.Internal alignment comes before external messaging. Employees must understand and believe in the brand before the marketplace ever sees it. Your team becomes your most important group of brand ambassadors.The truth about your brand is often found through listening. Leadership's perception of the company can be very different from what employees, customers, vendors, and partners actually experience.A rebrand is not always the answer. Sometimes a refresh, updated messaging, service clarification, culture improvements, or operational changes can solve the real issue without a complete overhaul.Successful rebrands require change management and communication. If stakeholders do not understand why a change is happening, they will create their own narratives and assumptions.Values must be lived, not displayed. Trust is built when customers and employees can clearly see an organization's values reflected in its actions, decisions, and relationships every day.Connect with Rudy A. Zacharias & Terry Elkins

On a hot July morning in 1889, two adults were found murdered in their beds on a small Iowa farm, shot and bludgeoned to death while they slept. The only witness was an 11-year-old boy who said a stranger had done it. What followed was a legal and moral reckoning that divided the country and forced a question the American justice system wasn't remotely prepared to answer: What do you do with a child who kills?Crimes of the Centuries is a podcast from Grab Bag Collab exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.

When three-year-old Brittany Eichelberger slipped out of her family's trailer in Elkins, West Virginia on Christmas Eve 1990, no one knew she was gone. She was found hours later, clinically dead in the snow — frozen stiff, her heart stopped, her body nearly 25 degrees below normal temperature. A neighbor, a determined paramedic, and a rural hospital team that refused to quit launched one of the most extraordinary resuscitation efforts ever documented in emergency medicine. The cold that stopped her heart may also be the reason her brain survived. This is a story about what happens when everyone around you decides it isn't over yet.

Parents today are under enormous pressure to protect their children from discomfort, but what if constantly “fixing” anxiety is actually making it worse? In this live conversation, Dr. Nguyen talks with clinical child psychologist Dr. Meredith Elkins on how avoidance fuels anxiety, what keeps families stuck, and how parents can help kids build resilience by facing hard feelings instead of escaping them.

Five listener accounts. Five different parts of the country. Five different decades. And in every one of them, something out there showed an ordinary person, in no uncertain terms, that they were not at the top of the food chain. This episode isn't about quick glimpses through the trees. It's about the slow encounters. The ones where something took its time, where it watched, where it made a deliberate decision about whether or not to let the witness walk away.The first account comes from Dale, a lifelong hunter from Sequim, Washington, who was twenty-three years old in October of 1978 when he climbed into a drainage off the Dosewallips before first light and saw something standing in the fog at the base of the slope. Sixty yards away. Gray-skinned, slope-browed, motionless in a way that no living thing should be able to manage.Dale walked out of those woods that morning and didn't return to any forest for twenty-six years.From there we move to Karen, a young woman from Elkins, West Virginia, who was twenty-four years old in September of 1993 and out for a solo overnight on a loop she'd hiked many times before. At two in the morning, every insect in the Monongahela went silent, something pressed a hand the size of a dinner plate against the wall of her tent, and the heat of a living body radiated through the nylon inches from her face. The next morning she saw what had been standing over her.Brent rides next, a heavy equipment operator out of Athens, Ohio, who was on the OHV trails in the Wayne National Forest with his buddy Cody on a clear October afternoon in 2019. They heard whoops trade across the saddle of a ridge. They turned around to leave. And on the way back down the trail they'd just ridden, they found a fourteen-inch oak laid across the two-track that had not been there forty minutes earlier, with no root ball, drag marks in the dirt, and something watching them from behind a white oak thirty yards uphill.The fourth account is told secondhand by Katelyn, the granddaughter of a northern Wisconsin trapper named Cal, who walked his line on a state forest tract north of the Bois Brule River in October of 1972 and found his sets methodically disabled. A foothold trap hung ten feet up in a hemlock. A marten cubby pried off a maple, turned a hundred and eighty degrees, and re-nailed backwards. A young whitetail arranged on the moss above an otter set, legs folded, head balanced upright, like a chess piece placed for him to find. Then three wood knocks from three different directions.Then a tall, lean, gray-haired figure standing between two pines in the dawn light, watching him with an expression Cal could only describe as tired.The episode closes with Marisol, a freelance photographer who in late August of 2015 hiked into a small alpine lake in the Trinity Alps Wilderness of northern California to shoot the milky way. The wind shifted across the cirque, the smell of a wet animal carried over the water, and through her two-hundred-millimeter zoom she watched something kneel at the far shore, cup water in its palm, drink, and then turn its head and look directly into her lens. A face with a heavy brow, a square jaw, and a small but distinct chin. Eight feet tall when it stood. She broke camp in the fading light and hiked six miles back to the trailhead in the dark, and she has never reviewed the photographs she took that afternoon.What links these five accounts isn't the description of the creature. The descriptions vary. Reddish brown. Gray. Nearly black. Heavy jaw, no chin. Narrower jaw, slight chin. Lean and starved-looking. Massive and barrel-chested. What links them is the aftermath.Every one of these people rearranged their lives around what happened. Hunting careers ended. Backpacking ended. Photography careers pivoted indoors. Decades of silence followed by a single attempt to put it down somewhere, with someone, before the memory had to go to the grave with them.If you've been carrying something of your own, the inbox is open.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

Sometimes the path to greatness goes through some unsavory territory. Before Stephen Benton Elkins rose to prominence, his rise included business dealings that remain a dark part of our nation's history.  He came to West Virginia from the American Southwest when he married into a U.S. Senator's family, whose support would eventually make him a Senator, too.

//The Wire//2300Z April 20, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: US NAVY BEGINS TARGETING MERCHANT TRAFFIC IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ. VIOLENT CRIME CONTINUES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. PROTESTS CONTINUE IN UNITED KINGDOM.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: The situation deteriorated over the weekend, after President Trump stated that the American blockade would stay in place even after the Iranians removed theirs. In response to this, Iran closed the Strait again, and kinetically targeted two Indian vessels that were in the Strait, attempting to cross it. Yesterday, the United States kinetically struck an Iranian merchant vessel which was attempting to run the American blockade. The M/V TOUSKA was fired upon by the USS Spruance (DDG-111), which engaged the vessel with their deck gun, targeting the engine room. After the shelling, U.S. Marines from the 31st MEU boarded and seized control of the ship.United Kingdom: Protests in Epsom continue to grow despite developments in the case. Epsom police have stated they "have not found any evidence of the offence as reported but the investigation is ongoing".Analyst Comment: Some claims are being made that the crime never took place, or otherwise did not occur as initially described. Nevertheless, this doesn't seem to matter much as most of the population does not believe the authorities' story, and there has not been a clear conveying of the series of events. As a result, protests have continued throughout the area over the past few days, mostly focusing on police accountability and transparency on the crimes that are committed.Mexico: This afternoon a shooting was reported at Teotihuacán, as a man climbed one of the pyramids and began shooting at crowds of tourists. As of this report, the number of causalities has varied, with local media reporting a total of a dozen people wounded by the shooter or otherwise injured during the incident. At least one Canadian tourist was killed by the shooter, who eventually took his own life, ending the incident.-HomeFront-Louisiana: Over the weekend a mass shooting was reported after a domestic disturbance resulted in a man murdering his entire family. Local authorities state that Shamar Elkins targeted his ex-girlfriend at their residence on Harrison Street following a domestic argument. After killing her, he drove W 79th Street, where he murdered his ex's sister, and eight children, seven of which were his own. After the mass-murder, Elkins fled the scene on foot, before carjacking a vehicle and fleeing to the north. A high-speed chase ensued and the suspect eventually crashed in a residential neighborhood in Bossier City. At this location the suspect was shot by police, ending the incident.North Carolina: This morning a shooting was reported in Leinbach Park, near Jefferson Middle School in Winston-Salem. Multiple individuals were wounded during the engagement, which resulted from a planned fight which devolved into a small arms skirmish. 2x fatalities have been reported, along with several others wounded.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Statements made by President Trump over the weekend indicate that the Gulf War will probably resume once the ceasefire concludes on Wednesday evening. Major American military logistical flights have continued to intensify into the Middle East over the past few days, and as it stands the United States has not exactly been amenable to another extension of the ceasefire.. Due to the recent developments in the Strait, merchant traffic is not going to resume normalcy anytime soon, with not one, but two navies now targeting merchant shipping for running their respective blockades. The brief rhetoric a few days ago indicating the Strait opening up was only a fleeting moment, and now that peace is looking less likely, the long-term effects are going to start stack

https://shopify.com/unseen - "I took the butt and put it into my bible" - On June 7th, 1998 at 6:50am, a little girl, badly injured and covered in blood, knocks frantically on her neighbor's door in Barberton, Ohio. 6-year-old Brooke Sutton has just found her grandmother, Judith, dead on the living room floor, and even more chillingly, she saw the man who did it. Within hours, cops pin the crime on Brooke's uncle, Clarence Elkins, and—despite his airtight alibi—he's sentenced to life in prison for the crime. But, with an innocent man in prison, the real killer is getting away. It's now up to Melinda Elkins, Clarence's wife and Judith's daughter, to go up against the prosecutors, police, and even her own family to help Brooke find the truth and prove Clarence's innocence, once and for all. - Writer, director & editor: Alexandre Gendron Researcher: Amanda Hein Voiceover: Will Akana Producer: Salim Sader Assistant editor: Hannah Alicbusan Distribution coordinator: Kat Gardilcic - Getty Images “Conviction: The True Story of Clarence Elkins”: Kurtis Productions, 2008. “What the Girl Saw” American Justice: A&E Networks, 2003. “All Butt Certain” Forensic Files: Content Partners, LLC, 2008. “Never a Doubt” Murder She Solved: True Crime: Force Four Entertainment, 2013. “Star Witness” 48 Hours: CBS News, 2003. “Friends and Neighbors” Cold Blood: ITV Studios, 2009. “Shadow of Doubt” I Didn't Do It: Lively Crime 2 Inc. for Crime & Investigation Network, 2012. “Melinda Elkins” I Solved a Murder: A&E Television Networks, 2013 “Wrongly convicted man snags inmate's cigarette butt to clear his name” True Crime News, 2019. “6 Year Old Daughter Solves The Grandma's Horrifying Murder” M7 Crime Storytime, 2025. “Clarence Elkins undergoes PTSD procedure” FOX 8 News Cleveland, 2017. “Decades-old secret adoptions solved by modern DNA for Akron area families” WKYC Studios, 2018. “Georgia's “Hicks Babies” adoptees search for answers” CBS News, 2014. “The Maury Povich Show” NBC Universal Syndication Studios, 1998.

President Donald Trump says U.S. representatives will arrive in Pakistan on Monday for negotiations with Iran. The U.S. delegation is set to include Vice President JD Vance, Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner. Those efforts may face challenges, though, with Iran saying it will not participate unless the U.S. ends its blockade of Iranian ports. This follows the U.S. seizure of an Iranian-flagged vessel over the weekend.A community in Louisiana is reeling after a shooting leaves eight children dead in Shreveport, Louisiana. Police say the suspected gunman, 31-year-old Shamar Elkins, targeted his own family in what investigators are calling a domestic incident. Authorities say the victims ranged in age from 18 months to 12 years old and were killed inside a residence on West 79th Street. Investigators say Elkins fled the scene, carjacked a vehicle, and was eventually shot and killed by police after a chase.Federal officials and lawmakers are investigating cases of 11 scientists who were either killed, died, or went missing. They all worked for the government and had access to nuclear or aerospace material. The majority of the cases took place between 2025 and 2026. One of the highest profile cases involves a retired U.S. Air Force General, William McCasland, who went missing from his Albuquerque home in February. President Trump described the disappearances as "pretty serious" involving very important people. He added that we'll know whether the cases were random or coordinated in the coming week.

Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah! If you're passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I'm honored to be part of Ivoclar's development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, IPS e.max Ceram Art. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing. Let's continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time. When it comes to digital dentures, design is easy—manufacturing is where things get messy. That's why the Elevate Denture Solution brings it all together. Built by Roland DGSHAPE, Ivoclar, and FOLLOW-ME! Technology Group, it combines machine, materials, and CAM into one fully optimized workflow—so you get consistent, high-quality results without the guesswork. Want to simplify production and scale with confidence? Check it out at rollanddga.com/elevate. Live from LMT Lab Day Chicago, Elvis and Barb bring the mics to the Ivoclar stage for three very different conversations that all point to one big theme—this industry is evolving fast, and you better evolve with it. First up, Savannah Elkins and Josh Williams from GPS Digital RPD jump into the digital removable world, where analog roots meet full-on additive workflows. Savannah shares how she went from pouring models to cranking out 100+ RPD frameworks a day, learning design in record time through hands-on training and a little “YouTube University.” The conversation dives into printed frameworks, flexible materials, and the push toward becoming a full lab-to-lab removable resource. It's fast, it's scalable, and yes… they absolutely test durability by throwing, stepping on, and possibly feeding things to alligators. Next, Darin McCue from SalesLift Consulting flips the script and talks about what's really holding labs back—and it's not production. With a mix of passion and hard truth, Darin explains that most lab owners aren't failing because they can't make teeth—they're failing because they don't run a business. From leadership and communication to sales and team culture, he challenges owners to step off the bench and into a leadership role before burnout or failure forces the issue. His message is clear: if you don't work on your business, it will eventually work against you. Finally, Vicki Thomas and Carrie Ling bring a completely different energy, focused on community, collaboration, and leveling the playing field for smaller labs. Vicki shares the story behind launching Savvy Lab Solutions, a buying group built to give small and mid-sized labs access to the same pricing and vendor relationships as the big players. Carrie backs it up with real-world experience, explaining how vendors now proactively reach out with discounts and new products—saving time, money, and opening doors she didn't even know existed.

Dark History TodayThe Murder of Clayton Dale ElkinsLawton, OklahomaFebruary 12, 1950Two old friends from Seminole — Clayton Dale Elkins and James Albert Collier Jr. — reconnect over bootleg whiskey at the Big 6 bar on a Saturday afternoon. That night, with their wives in tow, the drinking continues through two half-pints of illegal liquor, a stop at Ruth's Drive-In, and a long evening that splits the couples into separate rooms. When Elkins tells Collier's wife something that suggests her husband has been unfaithful, the night unravels fast. Tears, accusations, and a demand to leave escalate into a confrontation that ends with Collier retrieving a shotgun. At 1:15 a.m. on February 12th, the gun discharges into Elkins' abdomen. He dies four hours later. Collier claims accidental discharge during a scuffle. The jury disagrees, convicting him of first-degree manslaughter and sentencing him to thirty years in the Oklahoma State Penitentiary.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

Margaret talks with clinical psychologist Dr. Meredith Elkins, author of the new book PARENTING ANXIETY, about how anxiety really works—and how parents can stop unintentionally reinforcing it in themselves and their kids. Dr. Elkins, a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program, shares insights from her new book Parenting Anxiety: Breaking the Cycle of Worry and Raising Resilient Kids. Together, they unpack why anxiety isn't something to eliminate, how avoidance makes fear stronger, and why modern “intensive parenting” may be increasing anxiety for both parents and children. You'll learn the three key markers that distinguish normal anxiety from an anxiety disorder (interference, distress, and duration), why psychological flexibility is one of the most important skills we can teach kids, and how cognitive behavioral therapy—especially exposure—helps people face fear instead of shrinking from it. This conversation offers practical, compassionate tools for parents who want to support anxious kids without over-accommodating, and for anyone who wants to change their relationship with anxiety itself.
