Spanish artist and musical chameleon Rosalía released her latest album, Lux, today. The single, "Berghain," seems like a return to form. Operatic vocals, grand instrumentals, beautiful visuals -- the album is primed for critical praise. But for those who are hyperaware of Rosalia's transformations -- from flamenco songstress to Afro-Caribbean queen -- they have other questions about this evolution. Brittany is joined by writer-critics Bilal Qureshi and Michelle Santiago Cortés to unpack Rosalía's “church girl era,” and the complicated nuances of Latinidad in music.Follow Brittany Luse on Instagram: @bmluseFor handpicked podcast recommendations every week, subscribe to NPR's Pod Club newsletter at npr.org/podclub.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Today, we're honored to welcome Nate Oman—law professor, scholar, and co-founder of the pioneering Latter-day Saint blog, Times and Seasons.Our conversation begins with a bold idea: that experiencing a stupor of thought, or being troubled, is very often a prelude to revelation. For Nate, facing discomfort head-on—naming it and wrestling with it—has become a sacred part of his discipleship and a path to deeper faith.And so in that spirit, today we're taking a hard and honest look at the doctrine of sealing—where it came from, the ways it's evolved, and how it became intertwined with plural marriage. Nate helps us trace its roots and earliest iterations in Latter-Day Saint theology, and he wrestles openly with what it all means for us now.While this episode doesn't offer easy answers, it reveals how our efforts to connect the human family throughout our history have been both human and divine. And that if we're willing to look closely—even at the messiness—we might find ourselves stretched toward greater light, deeper understanding, and a more generous, expansive faith.You can find Nate's books Law and the Restoration: Law and Latter-day Saint History and Law and the Restoration: Law and Latter-day Saint Thought and Scripture on Bookshop.org or on Amazon.This episode is part of a five-part series on polygamy.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Would you say your agency is truly profitable? Take a closer look and assess its structure, systems, and tools through the lens of business maturity. You may find you're still in the chaos stage, in need of structure and vision. Running an agency often starts with passion and talent, but keeping it running smoothly takes systems, leadership, and a strong operational backbone. This operational maturity doesn't happen overnight. As today's featured guest knows well, it's a process of reflection, restructuring, and relentless improvement. Harv Nagra is the Head of Brand Communications at Scoro and host of The Handbook: The Operations Podcast, where he explores how agencies and consultancies build scalable, profitable operations. As someone who has spent his career at the intersection of creativity, consultancy, and operations, he'll discuss the key stages of agency growth, the pitfalls of immature operations, and the leadership mindset required to scale sustainably. In this episode, we'll discuss: Understanding the agency maturity model. Evolving your agency from chaos to clarity. Growing your leadership to create framework. Data and the path to predictability.

Why Most Agency Founders Aren't Natural Operators Harv has been in the agency space for most of his career, working in marketing and design, and, although he currently works as Brand Communicator for Scoro, he keeps his finger on the pulse of the industry via his podcast The Handbook, where he talks to owners about running great agencies and consultancies. After speaking with so many founders, Harv is aware that operations is often the blind spot for first-time agency owners. They were very good at delivering a service and ended up being an "accidental founder". People start agencies because they're great at marketing, design, or development, not because they planned to manage P&Ls or build operational frameworks. As a result, growth often outpaces structure, and operations fall behind. Early on, these agencies prioritize sales and survival, just trying to land enough business to stay afloat. But as Harv emphasizes, there's a point where founders must transition from doing great work to running a great business. Without operational clarity, even the most talented teams end up winging it, leading to burnout, inefficiency, and missed profit. Understanding the Agency Maturity Model One of Harv's biggest turning points came when his COO introduced him to the concept of a business maturity model. It was an eye-opener. He thought the agency was doing fine, until the framework revealed gaps he didn't even know existed. It showed him that agencies, like people, evolve through stages, from chaotic startups to structured, data-driven organizations. The models vary, but there are usually 5 stages: 1. People challenges 2. process challenges 3. Data and metrics 4. Technology and tools 5. Growth strategy The early stage is where chaos reigns. Processes are tribal, training is informal ("just learn from whoever you sit next to"), and there is no consistent way of working. As the business grows, pockets of best practices emerge, but without unified systems or documentation. The most mature agencies reach a level where processes are standardized, data is reliable, and leaders can make decisions based on insights rather than gut feelings. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of agencies ever get there. From Chaos to Clarity: Building Operational Maturity When Harv stepped into an operations role, his agency was stuck between chaos and maturity. Multiple entities were working in silos with inconsistent tools and workflows. Financial reporting was messy, and onboarding was informal. Everything began to change when they hired a finance director who helped formalize budgeting and systemize financial operations. Together, they redefined how projects were quoted, tracked, and managed, bringing consistency and visibility that had been missing for years. It's a common growing pain for agencies that scale faster than their systems. As Jason recalls, before implementing time tracking, he believed all clients were profitable. The data told a different story: 60% of projects were actually losing money. That realization forced him to fix pricing, reposition the agency, and rethink sales and operations from the ground up. The Leadership Shift: From Fighting Fires to Frameworks Many agency owners reach a ceiling because they're still running their business as they did in the early days. As he moved up the ladder, Harv and his team tried to get the agency's leadership team to realize they were spread too thin, with each senior leader juggling multiple internal roles alongside client work. Once leadership saw the problem, the real work began; creating clarity, documenting systems, and assigning accountability. The key here was clarity, so Harv and this finance director documented everything from budgeting to time tracking, to reporting and resourcing. It was a huge leap in maturity and it consolidated when the founders brought an interim COO who audited operations, restructured the organization, and helped senior leaders focus on strategic leadership instead of firefighting. Finally, there was a clear understanding of where the agency is going, who it serves, and how it operates. Without that, leaders end up managing chaos rather than building growth. Data, Tools, and the Path to Predictability As Harv's agency matured, the next challenge was data and technology. Their systems were outdated, and reporting was cumbersome. Upgrading their tech stack allowed them to collaborate across borders, manage multiple entities, and gain visibility into key metrics like capacity and revenue forecasting. This shift toward being data-driven enabled proactive decision-making instead of reactive problem-solving. Alongside technology, restructuring played a key role. The agency had to make tough decisions about team composition, ensuring the right people were in the right seats. As Harv put it, "Just because someone's been there from the beginning doesn't mean they're the right fit for the next phase." It's a difficult but necessary mindset for sustainable growth. Letting Go — The Hardest Step in Agency Maturity For founders, growth means letting go. Letting go of old habits, outdated systems, and sometimes even long-time team members. Many owners treat their agency like a baby, and it's a mistake. When leaders cling too tightly, they become the bottleneck. True maturity happens when they can trust the team, delegate decisions, and focus on leading rather than managing. As Harv summarized, agencies should think of themselves less like families and more like sports teams where each player has a role, and the lineup changes as the game evolves. The goal isn't comfort, it's performance. That's what separates agencies that evolve from those that plateau. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

In this episode, I tackle one of the most common frustrations I hear from partners and senior associates: why business development efforts so often fail to produce consistent, meaningful client work. From my own years as a BigLaw partner and now as a coach, I've seen too many capable lawyers equate effort with results, attending conferences, posting on LinkedIn, and taking endless coffee meetings only to find their pipeline still flat a year later. In this episode, I break down the five most common reasons business development efforts stall: lack of focus, inconsistent systems, confusing visibility with credibility, misaligned firm incentives, and fear or perfectionism. I share examples of how these pitfalls show up in real life, how to shift your mindset and methods, and the practical steps that can help you turn scattered efforts into sustainable business growth.

There are moments when the soul calls us forward, only to be met with waves of grief. Sophie is here with us today, navigating the tender intersection of spiritual growth and devastating loss. After ending a relationship that no longer served her, she experienced the unexpected passing of two dear friends. The mind made a painful link: that choosing herself invited punishment, and that old story rooted in childhood pain and shame began to echo louder than her soul's truth. In this session, we explore how grief and growth often arrive hand in hand, and how past programming can make us fear expansion. Sophie's field reveals the belief that vulnerability leads to punishment, and we gently unravel the ancestral and inner child wounds that contribute to this narrative. Together, we remember that grieving does not mean you're broken — it means you're human, and that letting go isn't failure, but part of your sacred unfolding. This episode is a soft, powerful invitation to move beyond black-and-white thinking, reclaim your trust in the universe, and meet yourself in the messy, beautiful middle. May it remind you that your grief is holy, your healing is valid, and your becoming is worth the unraveling.

In this Q&A episode, I flip the script on ambition, surrender + SELF-TRUST — showing you why letting go might be the most courageous move you'll ever make.They say success is about pushing harder, but the truth is that vitality comes from releasing what no longer serves you + trusting your HEART to lead the way.This isn't about settling. It's about EVOLVING. It's about building standards rooted in your VALUES, not in the “shoulds” society tries to sell you.So if you've been grinding yourself into exhaustion chasing someone else's version of success, here's your permission slip to stop. To trust. To surrender. To choose a life that feels FULL from the inside out.Maybe you needed to read this today:Letting go doesn't mean giving up — it means clearing space for your DREAMS.Your values are your compass. When you honor them, your standards RISE.Self-trust is built one BRAVE decision at a time.Not everyone is your teammate. Align with those who amplify your SOUL.Your heart isn't just emotional — it's STRATEGIC. It's the most powerful guide you have.⭐️YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS: Please: Subscribe + leave 5⭐️Star rating +review HEREEnjoy! xRxFIND ME ON:️INSTAGRAMSUBSTACKYOUTUBEXTHREADSFREE RESOURCES:

The fountain of youth could very well be located in a mandolin, or a fiddle. At least for Sam Bush, playing the mandolin, along with the occasional fiddle, seems to give him an energy level that many people several decades his junior would envy. There is a lot to be said for playing music, whatever the instrument, and its benefits for well being. Cognitively and psychologically, there is a lot of data that affirms we can benefit greatly from playing music, even from simply actively listening to music. A lot of this boils down to a fundamental truth that learning is the catalyst for positive change and growth, and we can all continue learning and picking up new skills throughout our lives. Sam Bush, like so many career music artists, embodies that spirit, and serves as a great example of the heights we can achieve when we devote our lives to reaching towards our full capabilities. Musically, Sam Bush draws from a wide spectrum of styles, ranging from bluegrass to newgrass (which he helped establish and define as a sub-genre with his former group New Grass Revival), to rock and blues with his former project Duck Butter, to having been in both Leon Russell and Emmylou Harris' bands, among many other projects. His stories are just as lively. From recounting his times with Earl Scruggs and Bill Monroe to his observations about young stars like Sierra Hull and Billy Strings, to his many performances at Green Acres Music Hall, Sam Bush has many a tale to tell. We get to all of that, and get a glimpse at what he has in store in the near future as well, in a spirited conversation from backstage at the 2025 Earl Scruggs Music Festival. Of course, there is much music to highlight in this episode too, including excerpts from Sam's solo catalog, as well as the festival's namesake.

Filip Keuppens is the CEO of The Pickle Juice Company, a functional beverage company known for its specialty sports hydration beverage, Pickle Juice®. Under his leadership, he scaled the company from $250,000 in annual revenue to over $10 million, turning it into a global, science-backed brand. Before The Pickle Juice Company, Filip held sales roles at major firms, including 20th Century Fox, Warner Home Video, and Kraft Heinz. In this episode… Building a brand that stands out in a saturated market isn't just about clever marketing or bold claims; it's about proving your worth through tangible results. How can you create something so authentic that your customers become your loudest advocates? According to consumer product growth and brand strategy veteran Filip Keuppens, building an authentic brand starts with truth, humility, and action. Instead of controlling the narrative, he advises leaders to let users experience the product and share honest feedback, even if it's negative. Additionally, showing up, listening, and leading by example is the foundation for lasting growth and team trust. Genuine credibility can't be bought; it's earned through consistency and transparency. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris welcomes Filip Keuppens, CEO of The Pickle Juice Company, to discuss building authentic brands through action and accountability. Filip shares how experiential marketing fuels sustainable growth, why staying humble helps scale culture, and what it means to lead with integrity.

Episode 106 is a mix that contains energy from old dusty warehouse raves, and doesn't let up for a whole hour and ten minutes. This mix felt so good to create too… There are tracks from some well known artists, some who have done an amazing job to capture "that vibe" in their productions that whose name we don't readily recognize, and then there are some tracks that are rare dance floor classics from artists who if you say their name, most would immediately know who they are and what they sound like. My goal, was to capture this vibe. What makes this episode do special you ask? Well, the crate digging I had to do to in search of the vibe I wanted for this mix. Loopy, Minimalistic, Evolving, Hypnotic tracks that eventually take that left turn into the pitch black void. Super repetitive kicks? Oh absolutely! Hand claps from the abyss? Most certainly! Rave-style synth breakdowns? It wouldn't have the vibe if it didn't! Tracks that have these properties that evolve over time takes some serious digging. But adding tracks that I know would fit the vibe also came from my vinyl and CD collection. Enjoy the mix!!

It’s not the numbers that make a business thrive—it’s the people, the trust, and the purpose behind it. In this revealing episode, Jaryd Krause sits down with Antoine Minoux, Principal Product Designer at Yelp and a serial entrepreneur who has founded, grown, and sold multiple successful SaaS ventures, including Improvmx and VoilaNorbert. Together, they unpack what really happens behind the scenes of buying, scaling, and selling online businesses—and the emotional intelligence required to do it right. Antoine shares his candid reflections on navigating acquisitions, from spotting undervalued opportunities to balancing multiple ventures and knowing when it’s time to sell. They explore how trust and transparency form the foundation of any successful deal, why valuation isn’t just about numbers, and how emotional awareness can be the difference between a smooth exit and a painful one. Through Antoine’s firsthand experiences, this conversation provides a roadmap for entrepreneurs looking to grow not just through innovation but through strategic acquisition and authentic relationships. Together, they explore: ✔️ Why buying an existing business can be less risky than starting from scratch✔️ The emotional and relational side of business acquisitions most founders overlook✔️ How to balance multiple ventures without losing clarity or momentum✔️ The right way to approach valuation and negotiation in SaaS deals✔️ Lessons learned from multiple exits—and why selling doesn’t always mean letting go Whether you’re an aspiring acquirer, a seasoned founder, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge how you think about growth, exits, and the role of trust in entrepreneurship.
Closing something you love is never easy. When I sat down to tell my Coach Lab members about its evolution, I found myself frozen at my computer, unable to push record. After 4½ years and 500 members, I'm closing The Coach Lab to launch something new.

You'll learn why the heaviness of closing a program you love isn't a mistake but a sign that you built something meaningful. If you're facing your own business transition as a coach, this conversation will remind you that growth can feel both hard and right, and that's exactly how it's supposed to.
