“We spend so much of our life trying to put the pieces back in the dollhouse… the furniture changes, the people change.” — Beverly Jean Armento In this emotional episode of Uncorking a Story, Michael Carlon sits down with author and educator Beverly Jean Armento to discuss her powerful memoir, Seeing Eye Girl. Beverly reflects on a childhood marked by violence, secrecy, and trauma—and how the love of teachers, a resilient spirit, and the act of writing helped her reclaim her story. Now in her 80s and still writing, Beverly proves it's never too late to transform pain into purpose. Key Themes: The Broken Dollhouse as a Metaphor for Trauma: Beverly recounts a pivotal childhood moment—the night her family imploded—through the lens of a shattered dollhouse. That image would become a central metaphor for the chaos and damage wrought by familial dysfunction. The Silent Strength of “Strong Beverly”: For decades, Beverly coped with her trauma by compartmentalizing—presenting as competent and successful on the outside while suppressing her pain. It wasn't until much later that “Strong Beverly” made room for healing. Teachers as Lifelines: Beverly credits a string of devoted educators—her “angel teachers”—with being her saving grace. Each one provided a safe space, encouragement, and belief in her when her home life did not. The Power and Pain of Memoir Writing: It wasn't until retirement that Beverly began to write her story. Through guided prompts and emotional breakthroughs, she discovered that telling the truth—however painful—was both a burden and a liberation. The Essential Role of Forgiveness: Beverly's decision to forgive her mother came during a profound therapy exercise involving her mother's ashes and a conversation between “little Beverly” and her imagined mother. That moment lifted a lifelong weight. Legacy, Perspective, and the Late Blooming Artist: Beverly published Seeing Eye Girl at 81 and is already working on a follow-up. With age came perspective, and with perspective came compassion—for herself, her parents, and her past. Trauma is Timeless—So is Hope: While her story takes place decades ago, the issues of abuse, resilience, and the search for meaning remain relevant. Her memoir speaks not only for herself but for anyone who has grown up in chaos and fought their way to clarity.

What if the key to transforming communities isn't money, resources, or even a buttoned-up theology—but something far more foundational?In this special episode, we're giving you a taste of the kind of teaching you'll experience at the upcoming DNA Forum this August in Panama City, Panama. Join us as we revisit a compelling keynote from our last Forum, delivered by one of DNA's most influential trainers, Arturo Cuba.Drawing from over two decades of grassroots discipleship in rural Latin America, Cuba challenges conventional evangelical thinking with bold clarity: “People do not live out of theologies. People live out of the things that make sense in their lives.” His message unpacks how biblical principles—taught as life-shaping truths rather than abstract theology—have the power to bring deep, lasting change.Want more of this kind of insight?

In a world struggling to embrace the beauty, complexities, and possibilities of gender it's not surprising that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently called for more "masculine energy" in corporate America. His callous statement made on the Joe Rogan Experience has sparked controversy and ignited crucial conversations. His comments about masculinity suggest that corporate culture has become too "feminine" and that a "celebration of aggression" is needed.   This perspective perpetuates harmful stereotypes about what it means to be masculine, reinforcing toxic masculinity, which is a set of behaviors linked to violence, homophobia, and the devaluation of women. Recent research by the American Psychological Association reveals that toxic masculinity isn't just detrimental to workplace culture and inclusion efforts; it's also harmful to men themselves. This outdated model of masculinity limits emotional expression, promotes unhealthy competition, and restricts the full spectrum of human experience.   This podcast episode challenges Zuckerberg's narrow view and explores the concept of "multiple masculinities" – a framework that embraces diverse expressions of masculinity, including those that generously diverge from the limited behaviors that toxic masculinity prescribes.  By embracing a broader understanding of masculinity, organizational leaders can usher in a more inclusive and authentic leadership landscape that benefits people who express their genders in many different ways.   To delve deeper into this critical topic, host Rhodes Perry sits down with masculinity expert Adam Segal, founder and facilitator of New Masculinities Group. Adam is a dedicated advocate for critical conversations around gender, sexuality, and masculinity through an intersectional feminist lens. He brings a wealth of experience facilitating men's groups, conducting male accountability work, and promoting anti-racism efforts.    In this insightful conversation, Rhodes and Adam will explore: ---The limitations of traditional masculinity. Unpacking the harmful impacts of toxic masculinity on individuals, workplaces, and society as a whole. ---The power of multiple masculinities. Exploring the benefits of embracing a broader spectrum of masculine expressions, including those that challenge traditional norms. ---Creating a gender inclusive leadership landscape. Discussing how organizations can foster a culture that values diverse leadership styles and promotes gender equity. ---The role of men in advancing gender equality. Examining how men can actively contribute to creating a more inclusive and equitable workplace for all. ---Practical strategies for challenging toxic masculinity. Offering actionable steps that individuals and organizations can take to dismantle harmful norms and promote healthy expressions of masculinity.   Today's conversation is designed to support people like you - visionary leaders, and those on their way to joining us. This podcast episode offers a timely and crucial conversation about the future of leadership and the role of masculinity in building gender inclusive workplaces.

One significant case involves an Ehlers-Danlos patient who achieved remarkable pain relief through targeted FSM protocols focusing on dura adhesions and spinal fluid dynamics. Dr. McMakin explains the process and frequencies used, highlighting the importance of thorough physical examinations to tailor treatments effectively. **The Essential Role of Physical Exams** A crucial theme in the discussion is the necessity for comprehensive physical exams in chronic pain management. Dr. McMakin recounts a patient misdiagnosed over the phone with Ehlers-Danlos, emphasizing the failure of prior healthcare providers to perform physical exams leading to prolonged patient suffering. Through detailed examinations and FSM, profound improvements were noted, underscoring the critical role of a hands-on approach in diagnosing and treating pain syndromes. **Addressing Complex Conditions** - **Ramsay Hunt Syndrome:** Dr. McMakin shares strategies for addressing conditions like Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which involves postherpetic neuralgia affecting cranial nerves. Utilizing FSM to target the pons and medulla helps manage symptoms comprehensively. - **Tarlov Cysts:** For conditions such as Tarlov Cysts, the approach involves treating scarring in the dura and arachnoid, facilitating movement and reducing symptoms. - **Managing Stress Incontinence:** Addressing issues such as stress incontinence requires a multifaceted approach involving the pelvic floor muscles and sympathetic nervous pathways, along with FSM protocols to support muscle and nerve health. **FSM in Practice: Upcoming Developments** The insights shared also introduce practitioners to the exciting future of FSM seminars, highlighting a comprehensive Advanced in Symposium set to deepen knowledge and application of FSM in clinical practice. This upcoming event will provide an expanded curriculum, enabling practitioners to refine their skills with the most up-to-date FSM techniques. **Emphasizing Patient-Centric Care** Practitioners are encouraged to adopt a patient-centric approach, leveraging FSM as a tool within a broader care strategy that includes patient education, lifestyle adaptations, and collaboration with other healthcare professionals. By integrating these elements, medical practice can be enriched, offering patients a more holistic and effective treatment experience. Incorporating FSM into clinical practice holds significant promise for enhancing patient outcomes. By staying informed and continuously developing skills in FSM, practitioners can harness this technology's full potential to address a wide array of complex medical conditions.

She is the author of Dignity: It's Essential Role in Resolving Conflict and Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture That Brings Out the Best in People*. Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity. In this episode, Donna and I explore how appreciating dignity can help us bring out the best in people. Key Points Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. Dignity is different than respect. Everyone has dignity, but not everyone deserves respect. A major misconception of dignity is that we receive our worth from external sources. We're at our best when connected to our own dignity, connected to the dignity of others, and connected the dignity of something bigger. Start with vulnerability and empathy. These open the doors to connecting with your own dignity and the dignity of others. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity.

In this episode of The Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount, Jr. welcomes Kirk Richardson, author of Craft Beer Country, to dive into the world of craft beer, exploring trends, challenges, and the rise of IPAs. Discover how the craft beer industry has blended innovation and tradition to become a cultural phenomenon. Key Takeaways: – Resilience in Craft Beer Market: Despite challenges in the beer industry, craft beer gained a 13% increase in market share in 2023, weathering the storm better than large-scale breweries. – Significance of Hops: Hops, a core ingredient in beer, play a vital role in flavor, aroma, and shelf life. Varieties include aroma, bittering, and dual-purpose hops, each contributing to unique brewing profiles. – Historical Roots of Sours: Sour beers trace their origins to Belgium, where open fermentation with wild yeast created distinctive flavors, making them one of the oldest beer styles still enjoyed today. – Seasonal Beer Preferences: Beer choices often align with the seasons, with lighter options like sours and lagers favored by many in warmer months and darker stouts and porters during colder seasons. – Challenging Stereotypes: While there is often some misconception around craft beer enthusiasts, the craft beer experience is accessible and welcoming, offering something for everyone regardless of expertise. – Cultural Significance of Brewing: Brewing dates back thousands of years, with craft beer continuing traditions like those of ancient Egypt, where beer was used as both sustenance and currency. – Breweries as Social Hubs: Breweries cater to diverse personalities, providing spaces for extroverts to socialize and introverts to enjoy solitude, fostering connections and memorable experiences. – Storytelling in Craft Beer: The industry thrives on the stories of its people, from the challenges of sourcing ingredients to the inspirations behind unique brews, enriching the craft beer community. – Navigating Supply Challenges: Craft brewers often face supply chain hurdles, particularly in sourcing specific hops, yet their creativity and adaptability in dealing with these issues are often what drive the industry forward. – Craft Beer's Universal Appeal: With its wide range of styles and flavors, craft beer continues to bring people together, celebrating diversity in taste and creating lasting bonds through shared experiences. https://youtu.be/r_7XsernY7Y?feature=shared The Role of Craft Beer in Modern Culture Craft beer holds a unique place in today's beverage market, offering a blend of tradition, innovation, and community.

While larger breweries have struggled, craft beer's ability to innovate and connect with its audience has allowed it to thrive. The Essential Role of Hops Hops, one of beer's four primary ingredients, are integral to the brewing process. They contribute to the beer's flavor, aroma, and longevity. Brewers use different types of hops (ex. aroma, bittering, and dual-purpose) to craft a wide range of styles. However, the supply chain for hops can be unpredictable, with shortages and oversupply cycles creating challenges for brewers. A Historical Perspective on Sour Beers Sour beers, one of the oldest styles of beer, have a storied history dating back to Belgium. These beers were traditionally made through open fermentation, allowing wild yeast to develop their signature tart flavor. Today, sours remain popular for their unique taste and connection to brewing's historical roots,

Yet, ignoring this foundational piece of the puzzle can lead to disastrous consequences when it's time to scale or raise funding. Without proper systems in place, businesses risk losing investor trust, facing compliance issues, or simply running into operational chaos. But how can entrepreneurs find a balance between driving their product forward and keeping their financial house in order? In this episode of The Entrepreneur Ethos, Jarie Bolander chats with the co-founders of KBA Partners—Kasia Rzepnikowska, Angel Zhao, and Barbara Legnitto Hansson—who turned their decades of experience in high-growth companies like New Relic into a boutique firm that helps startups navigate the complex world of finance and accounting. Drawing on their unique backgrounds in taking companies from fledgling startups to billion-dollar valuations, they offer actionable advice on building a financial infrastructure that's not just about staying compliant but enabling growth. This conversation dives deep into how early-stage companies can avoid the common pitfalls of financial mismanagement, why accounting should be seen as an asset rather than a burden, and how having the right systems in place early can provide the peace of mind needed to focus on what really matters—growing your business. From setting up basic bookkeeping to managing the complexities of scaling, these experts share practical, real-world insights that every entrepreneur needs to hear.

The kernel is the brain of the operating system. It controls everything that happens on a computer and has full access to the hardware and all system resources. Though it has a small code base, the kernel plays a critical role in how systems and applications operate, interact and stay secure. Due to the current architecture and design of Windows systems, cybersecurity products running in the platform — particularly those involved in endpoint protection — require kernel access to provide the highest levels of visibility, enforcement and tamper-resistance while meeting the strict performance requirements that large enterprise clients demand. Kernel access translates to stronger protection, better performance and adaptability to emerging threats. In this episode, Adam and Cristian are joined by cybersecurity expert Alex Ionescu to unpack what the kernel is and its critical role in cybersecurity defense. They explain threats to kernel security, why kernel access is critical for cybersecurity products and the testing that security products must undergo to gain kernel access. Looking ahead, they also discuss what we can expect for the future of collaboration among Microsoft, security researchers and larger security organizations.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, Rob Holmes, Founder of GLP Films shares his experience and insights on sustainable tourism. We discuss how you can impact sustainability through storytelling, and Rob shares several components of storytelling and why it must focus on people at the ground level and be story-driven, not sales-driven. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why storytelling and sustainability are integral to the tourism industry What strategic approach Rob uses for authentic and engaging storytelling in destination marketing How sustainability has evolved as a term and its significance in tourism Why targeting responsible travelers through storytelling can make a meaningful impact on sustaining a place Some of the sustainable travel campaigns Rob's team has worked on, including sustainability in the Finger Lakes Region, and rewilding in Chile How education in sustainability and involving various stakeholders are crucial for the industry's success How the Tourism Sector Can Thrive with Sustainability and Meaningful Narratives We discuss the concept of rewilding—integrating natural, wild elements back into ecosystems, and how incorporating conservation and biodiversity into a destination enriches not just the environment but increases the opportunities for visitors. Rob digs into how the tourism industry can tap into nature-focused tourism, make environmental gains, and improve economic resilience by adopting greener practices. The Power of Storytelling in Tourism We go deep into the significance of compelling storytelling. Rob shares why purpose, story arc, characters, and landscape are some of the key components of a great story, whether it's in a film or a marketing campaign. He describes why authenticity is pivotal and why he believes that stories driven by passion—rather than sales and marketing objectives—enhances sustainable tourism initiatives. Sharing memorable and emotionally resonant stories does more than attract tourists; it fosters a deeper connection to the destination and its people. When crafted well, these stories invigorate both local charm and environmental consciousness, leading to lasting impressions and repeat visitors. Real-world Applications Rob leaves us with actionable insights learned from several campaigns his company has spearheaded. In the Finger Lakes region, a two-year campaign aims to reposition this destination as a sustainable outdoor recreation hotspot. By highlighting local culture and nature-centric activities, the campaign seeks to draw responsible outdoor travelers. Another campaign in Chile promotes community tourism, encouraging travelers to immerse themselves in local life and support the community economically. Rob's examples underscore how targeted, authentic storytelling can drive sustainable tourism while benefiting the local community.

As compared to mothers, fathers are sometimes thought of as a secondary, almost superfluous, parent.But my guest says that fathers actually saved the human race, and continue to do so today.Anna Machin is an evolutionary anthropologist, a pioneer of fatherhood science, and the author of Life Of Dad. Today on the show, we talk about the role of fathers in human history and how their main role continues to be teaching kids the skills they need to take risks, become independent, and navigate the world beyond their family. We also talk about the physiological changes that happen when a man becomes a father and how dads are just as biologically primed as mothers to parent. In the second half of our conversation, we talk about the experience of being a dad. Anna shares how long it typically takes a man to bond with a baby and transition into the role of fatherhood, how roughhousing is key in building that bond as well as developing your child's resilience, and how your personality and background will affect your parenting. We end our conversation with the difference in how the relationship between Mom and Dad affects how they parent, and the implications of that for building a strong family.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: The Importance of Fathers (According to Science)AoM Article: A Man's Guide to Pregnancy — Getting Ready for the Baby BombAoM Article: A Man's Guide to Pregnancy — Your Progeny Enters the WorldAoM Article:New Dad Survival Guide — The MindsetAoM Article: New Dad Survival Guide — The SkillsetAoM Podcast #119: Why Fathers Matter AoM Article: You Don't Have to Be Your Dad — How to Become Your Family's Transitional CharacterConnect With Anna MachinAnna's websiteAnna on XAnna on IG
