“That's one of the biggest things that scares me the most about composing with AI. It's that, whatever AI model you're on, how was it trained, and was that material copyrighted? And was there any kind of permission for that to happen? And you, as the end user, don't know.” – Laney McCormickThis episode features a pair of guests who are passionate about helping creatives elevate their stories through music. As the founders of Scene Support Music, they specialize in pairing authentic music with visual media, ensuring that brands and stories stand out. As former music educators, they prioritize education in every collaboration, guiding filmmakers and musicians through the creative and legal intricacies of music licensing. Based in the Midwest, outside the traditional film and advertising hubs, they bring a fresh perspective to the intersection of music and storytelling. Between them, they hold multiple advanced degrees in conducting, education, percussion, and communications, but they believe their most valuable lessons come from lived experience, along with the occasional failure.Their names are Laney and Matt McCormick, and, beyond their work in music and licensing, Laney serves on the board of Women in Film Cincinnati and Cindependent Film Festival. Together, Laney and Matt continue to perform as musicians on stages across the country and internationally. If you've ever wondered what makes music truly move us, this is a conversation you'll really enjoy!As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – From Teaching to Music LicensingOur conversation starts as Laney and Matt recall their earliest memories of sound and how they got into the business of music licensing. “Hearing that band play for the first time,” Laney says, recounting a memory from elementary school, “and seeing her band director, who was… very proper and wearing a black suit, and I thought, ‘I want to make that sound in this environment with those kind of people.' Like, I want to be a band director. And that's what I did for a really long time.” Matt shares his experience as an indie musician and how it segued into commercial music. “I remember this is the exact one where light bulbs started to go off in my head,” he recalls. “A music supervisor had reached out and said, ‘I need thirty seconds of upbeat, positive music for an apparel commercial that's for the holidays, but it doesn't have to be holiday music.' And he was like, ‘money's kind of low for it, $7,000.' And honestly, for me at the time, and even now, $7,000, that doesn't sound too low.”(10:00) – The Challenge of AI in MusicLaney and Matt tell us more about their role as music supervisors and how it ties into the process of music licensing. “A sync agent represents a catalog of music for licensing,” Laney explains. “A music supervisor can contact sync agents to find music and make playlists for a director, and then a clearance specialist, which is what we're doing, like one-offs for ad agencies who will come in and say, ‘I want this specific song.' There's no searching involved. ‘Will you just get me the rights for that?' And a music supervisor will use the skills of both other things at the same time.” Our conversation turns to how AI is impacting their side of the music business and the differences between traditional musicians and AI artists. “Some artists will contact us and be super odd,” Matt adds. “And it's like, ‘Hey, I'm an AI artist,' and I don't want to be like, ‘Hey, AI is a bad thing. We're not going to do it.' And I've only talked to one person, but when that artist contacted me, and he's like, ‘I'm an AI artist,' I was like, I definitely want to have a conversation because I want to know what is going on there.”(25:00) – The Importance of AuthenticityAs we wrap up the first half of our discussion, Laney explains the different processes involved between licensed tracks and licensed covers. “That can drastically affect your bottom line,” she tells us. “Like, my cover of a Beatles song is not as expensive as the original recording. But the publishing is going to be the same whether you use the original or whether you use a cover.” Matt talks about the explosion of the licensed cover market in recent years and how it's helped streamline the process for finding the right song track for the right client. “There are so many covers that are already out there,” he explains, “that chances are, like, if we're working on a film and we need a cover song, my first thought doesn't go, ‘Hey, let's get somebody to record that.' My first thought goes, ‘I'm going to send an email to every catalog holder that we know to see what they already have of that.'"Episode SummaryLaney and Matt share personal stories about how sound influenced their lives.Exploring the implications and challenges posed by AI-generated music.Laney and Matt discuss why they prioritize authentic music in their work.Tune in for next week's episode as we discuss how sometimes even the best composer might not be the right composer, how vintage songs and positivity are making a surprising comeback, and what shows like Stranger Things have taught us about both following and setting musical trends.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

What becomes possible when the first question in a coaching session helps a client arrive more fully? The way we open a coaching conversation matters because it can shape where a client places their attention, how present they become and what they feel able to explore. Yet it is easy to fall into familiar habits and rely on the same dependable opener without considering whether it is right for the person sitting in front of us. In this episode, we explore a collection of powerful coaching questions designed to create greater focus, depth and possibility. Some help clients sort through competing priorities, while others connect them with what feels most alive, what they need to leave outside the room or where courage might take the conversation. We also consider how a coach can listen beyond the words, noticing shifts in energy, emotion, hesitation and body language. We discuss questions that support progress when a client feels overwhelmed, as well as those that make space for uncertainty, unfinished business or challenges they have been trying to resolve alone. Questions such as "What part of you most needs a voice today?" and "What have we not explored yet together?" can help clients reconnect with overlooked parts of themselves and open areas they may now feel ready to discuss. We also explore how to strengthen the coaching alliance by asking what the client needs from us in that moment, whether that is challenge, compassion, silence or help slowing down. These questions are not intended to be used mechanically. Our hope is that this episode helps you expand your coaching toolbox, move beyond habitual openers and choose questions that reflect the client, the purpose of the session and how they are arriving that day. Coaching Questions Explored: Of everything that is competing for your attention right now, what feels most important for our conversation today? What feels most alive for you today? Before we begin today, what do you need to leave outside the room so you can be fully present here? If we were courageous today, where might this conversation take us? If you could make progress on one thing today, where would we focus our conversation? What feels uncertain, unfinished or unresolved at the moment? What have you been trying to resolve yourself that remains unresolved? What is unresolved that you have been working on alone? What part of you most needs a voice today? What have we not explored yet together that would be helpful for you? What would you like me to be particularly mindful of as your coach today? What is possible for you here today? What conversation have you been avoiding with yourself or someone else? Timestamps: 00:01 Why the opening question matters 01:47 Moving beyond habitual coaching openers 02:24 Sorting through competing priorities 03:22 What feels most alive today? 05:15 Leaving distractions outside the room 06:48 Inviting courage and vulnerability 08:29 Focusing on progress and momentum 09:43 Welcoming uncertainty and unfinished business 11:22 What has the client been resolving alone? 12:10 Giving different parts of the client a voice 14:10 Exploring what has not been discussed yet 15:04 The power of possibility 15:42 What should the coach be mindful of? 18:07 Holding silence and strengthening the coaching alliance 19:38 What is possible today? 20:31 The conversation the client may be avoiding 22:51 Choosing questions that support the coaching goal 23:56 Finding the right coach training programme Key Lessons Learned: The first question in a coaching session can shape the tone, direction and depth of the entire conversation. Using the same opening question with every client can create stale coaching patterns. A client's energy, hesitation, emotion and body language can provide as much information as their spoken answer. Some clients need help sorting through competing priorities before they can identify a meaningful focus. Coaching questions can invite courage and vulnerability without assuming the client already feels courageous. Progress-focused questions can help overwhelmed clients move away from broad goals and towards achievable momentum. Acknowledging uncertainty and unfinished business can help clients feel understood before attempting to create solutions. Asking what a client has been handling alone can surface opportunities for support, connection and shared exploration. Questions about different parts of the self can help clients reconnect with voices that have become quiet or overlooked. Asking the client what they need from the coach strengthens the coaching alliance and supports effective re-contracting. Powerful opening questions should remain connected to the client's wider coaching goals and the purpose of the session. Coaches should ask questions with genuine curiosity rather than delivering them as scripted coaching techniques.

Dana and Tom with special guest, Reed Arnold (Writer, Director, and Star of Do Us Part (2026)) discuss Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) for its 15th Anniversary: directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, written by Dan Fogelman, cinematography by Andrew Dunn, music by Christophe Beck and Nick Urata, editing by Lee Haxall, starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei, and Kevin Bacon.Plot Summary: Up next is a film from 2011 that takes the age-old Hollywood trope of the cinematic makeover and turns it completely on its ear. It's Crazy, Stupid, Love.Now, when we meet Cal Weaver—played with a wonderful, understated desperation by Steve Carell—he is a man whose comfortable, suburban life has just evaporated over dessert. His high school sweetheart and wife of twenty-five years, played by a luminous Julianne Moore, announces she wants a divorce. Suddenly, Cal finds himself cast adrift in the unfamiliar and deeply hostile waters of the modern dating scene.Enter Jacob Palmer, a suave, cynical, and impossibly sharp-dressed bachelor who treats the local lounge like his own personal kingdom. He's played by Ryan Gosling, channeling the kind of effortless, magnetic charisma that would make Cary Grant proud. Jacob takes pity on our broken-hearted protagonist, deciding to mentor Cal in the fine arts of tailored suits, confident posture, and the precise chemistry of the pickup line.But what makes Dan Fogelman's screenplay so compelling isn't just the transformation of Cal. It is how the film expertly weaves multiple generations of romance into a single, chaotic tapestry. We see Cal's teenage son harboring a fierce, agonizing crush on his older babysitter, who in turn harbors her own secret affection. Meanwhile, Jacob—the ultimate, uncatchable playboy—finds his own defenses completely dismantled by a sharp-witted law student, played with incredible comic timing by Emma Stone.It's a film that balances the slick, sophisticated banter of classic 1930s screwball comedies with a raw, very contemporary vulnerability. It reminds us that no matter our age, experience, or wardrobe, love has a way of making fools out of all of us.Chapters00:12 Introduction to Crazy, Stupid, Love06:06 Exploring the Plot and Themes12:05 Character Relationships and Development18:10 Masculinity and Love in the Film24:05 The Makeover Trope and Its Implications33:14 Navigating Relationships and Growth34:38 The Evolution of Long-Term Relationships36:20 Understanding Relationship Dynamics38:16 Stereotypes and Relationship Expectations39:09 Behind the Scenes of Filmmaking42:15 Foreshadowing and Directorial Choices48:45 Cultural Moments in Film52:11 Influences and Inspirations in Filmmaking01:00:49 Antagonists and Character Dynamics01:04:27 Nostalgia and College Experiences01:06:48 Navigating the Film Festival Circuit01:09:23 The Fight for Attention in Film01:11:45 Personal Experiences in Storytelling01:20:11 Choosing Between Writing, Directing, and Acting01:37:01 Best Scene(s)01:45:21 Best Line(s)01:51:14 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy02:02:16 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty02:15:46 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness02:22:31 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability02:29:01 Final Questions and ThoughtsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/crazy-stupid-love-2011-ft-reed-arnoldFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Crazy Stupid Love, movie review, film analysis, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, romantic comedy, anniversary, movie discussion, film critique, best rom-coms, Emma Stone, discussion, romantic, comedy, film discussion, movie scenes, Hollywood, Crazy, Stupid, Love movie, podcast, podcast discussion, podcast episode, movie podcast, film podcast, rom-com, legacy, classic, rewatch, novelty, audience scoreRonny Duncan Studios

Send us Fan MailJesus commanded His followers to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” While this familiar phrase is often reduced to simply being kind or positive, Jesus intended something far more consequential.In Matthew 5, immediately after describing the character of true believers in the Beatitudes—and warning that they would face persecution, insults, and false accusations—Jesus called them to live in a way that would be clearly noticed by the world.Salt preserves what would otherwise decay, while light exposes darkness and shows the way. Likewise, Christians are called to preserve what is good and godly and to proclaim the light of the gospel and biblical truth. But when believers compromise and become indistinguishable from the world, their influence is weakened.As America grows increasingly dark spiritually and morally through false religion, destructive political ideologies, and rebellion against God's design, the need for faithful Christians has never been greater. Hope is not lost, for God remains sovereign—but believers must be clear-eyed, courageous, and intentional about honoring Christ through their words, conduct, and convictions.This week's program examines what Jesus truly meant when He called Christians to be salt and light—and how believers can faithfully fulfill that calling in an increasingly hostile world. Guest: Alex McFarland, a Christian apologist and co-host of Exploring the Word on the American Family Radio network and host of “The Alex McFarland Show,” on NRB TV joins us to discuss some examples of the darkening taking place in our nation.PROGRAM NOTES:“You Are the Salt of the Earth” sermon from John MacArthurAlex McFarland

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 216 In the late 1970s, a Palestinian-American postcolonial theorist and Columbia University literature professor named Edward Said wrote a book that changed the Left forever. That book was called Orientalism (https://amzn.to/45eMnE2). In this book, he brought the postmodernist deconstructive tools of Michel Foucault to a variety of Marxist and Critical Theory analyses to criticize and transform the way scholars study "other" cultures. His basic thesis is that there is no way for a scholar embedded in an imperialist context to study another culture without bringing his imperialism (and preference for its benefits) into the analysis. Exploring his treatment offers us much today in terms of understanding Woke, including how it could be that so many of our central institutions caved in to the ideology. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads a section from Said's own introduction to Orientalism to explain. The Postmodernist, Critical Marxist, and broadly establishment-liberal mondialist projects share so much foundational overlap that they serve as not just parallel projects but an intellectual-cultural symbiosis that opened the door to the Woke takeover. Join him for yet another groundbreaking episode and insight into what happened to the West over the last century of Western Marxist incursion.

Professor Ayelet Segal, Human-Computer Interaction and UX expert and Head of the "AI & I" Lab of Bar Ilan's Faculty. Drawing on decades of experience in cognitive psychology, user experience, and technology innovation, she explains how AI can amplify rather than replace human expertise. She discusses human-centred design working on AI digital twins, personality-informed avatars, and why context and trust influence the quality of human-AI interactions. Ayelet describes how LLMs are not search engines but simulate our world and expand human capabilities.

“We did a sort of special launch episode with the King, um, who's so knowledgeable, so passionate, you know. I don't know whether he'd just read up about it, but it doesn't feel like it. It feels like it really tapped into something that he wants to talk about and knows how to talk about. Um, so yeah, a dream guest, frankly, in so many ways. Um, and Kate's a great interviewer, and there are another three episodes of that after it, but yeah, it was. When you talk about sonic branding, you know, there aren't many people in the world whose voice everybody recognizes.” – Neil CowlingThis episode is the second half of my conversation with podcast and audio promotions expert Neil Cowling as we discuss the scams and pitfalls of podcast promotion, why podcasting's evolved a more collaborative culture than traditional radio, and what the King of England has for breakfast.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

Both those things really help, and I'd love to feature your review on future podcasts. You can leave one either in written or in voice format from the podcast's main page. I would so appreciate that.(12:28) – How Sound Influences Brand IdentityMy conversation with Neil continues as he tells us his process for building an authentic connection between a brand and podcast. “We do try and spend an extended amount of time saying, ‘What is your tone of voice? If you can imagine a celebrity that would be your dream spokesperson, who would that be? What words do you use and not use in your other communication?'” he explains. “And all of that feeds into a general vibe that hopefully when people are listening to a podcast, they'll understand that it's from you.” We discuss podcasting metrics, from clicks and listens to downloads, and the perils of paying for services that promise a quick boost. “Someone goes in and promises they'll have a million downloads or that it will create an instant ROI for your product,” he cautions. “We avoid saying that because we are really talking about it as a long-term brand building exercise.”(00:00) – Podcasting With the KingWe discuss the transition from broadcast radio to podcasting in the 21st century, and why, in Neil's experience, radio's competitive culture hasn't carried over to podcasting. “Radio is a real kind of dog-eat-dog medium,” he says, “partly because there are only so many radio listeners and you're all fighting over the same time slot. Everybody wants to be the biggest breakfast show… whereas in podcasting, there's more of a sense that somebody else's success is not at everybody else's detriment.” He tells us about some of his most memorable podcasting experiences, including his team's surprise interview at Windsor Castle with not only Cate Blanchett but His Majesty, King Charles III. “Hannah had the honor of having asked the King what he had for breakfast,” Neil recalls, “you know, to test the microphone. The answer is nothing, if you're interested. He hasn't eaten breakfast for years.”(27:40) – Building Podcast EngagementAs our conversation comes to a close, Neil shares his thoughts on why radio ads are on the way out and what's replacing them in the podcast market. “Radio ads are rubbish,” he tells us. “Most radio ads are done at the last minute by an ad agency who, again, thinks it's easy. They've spent three months working on the TV, and they'll knock together a radio script and push it out there.” We discuss whether pre-roll or mid-roll ads are most effective at reaching their audience, and the unique outreach that host reads offer podcast sponsors. “Give us your bullet points, give us the things that absolutely have to be in there,” he says. “But also allow a bit of levity and a bit of leeway for those presenters so that they can take what the audience already loves about them and transfer it to your brand.”Episode SummaryBalancing brand consistency with collaborative podcasting.Neil explains the key metrics for measuring podcasting success.Exploring the branding benefits of podcast collaborations.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

What if your wilderness season isn't a sign that God has left you—but proof that He's preparing you? In this powerful return to the Revelations Podcast, Christa Black Singh shares how God has continued to redeem every chapter of her story. From heartbreak and divorce to remarriage, motherhood, and deep spiritual healing, Christa reflects on what it truly means to walk with Jesus through seasons of crushing, restoration, and rest. Together, Reagan and Christa explore difficult but important topics including suffering, biblical discernment, spiritual warfare, the unseen spiritual realm, New Age deception, healing from trauma, and learning to hear God's voice before praying and speaking our own declarations. Christa also shares deeply personal stories about the loss of her daughter Goldie, God's redemption through unimaginable grief, and the profound lessons she learned after leaving New Age practices behind. Christa breaks down the realms of heaven, ancient technology and how understanding the strategies of the enemy can transform our spiritual lives. Whether you're walking through a wilderness season, wrestling with spiritual questions, or longing for deeper intimacy with Christ, this conversation will encourage you to trust God's goodness, embrace His refining work, and remember that His redemption is always greater than your pain. Key Takeaways God often uses wilderness seasons to prepare us for greater purpose. True success is becoming more like Christ—not gaining influence or recognition. God can bring healing from trauma and understanding the connection between spirit, soul, and body. Discernment begins by asking, "Lord, what are You saying?" before speaking. Spiritual warfare is real, but Jesus has complete authority over every power. Healing involves our relationship with God, our emotions, and our willingness to surrender. No failure, trauma, or loss is beyond God's power to redeem. Jesus is the only doorway to the Father, and lasting freedom is found in Him alone.

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with John O'Connor from RealFi to dig into one of the most overlooked problems in crypto , the fact that the $350 billion sitting in stablecoins is doing almost nothing for the people who hold it. Tether and Circle pocket the yield while you hold a digital dollar that just sits there. John walks me through exactly how RealFi flips that model, channeling your stable coins directly into real world credit markets and passing the returns back to you. We talk about USDR and sUSDR, how they manage liquidity risk and redemptions, why DeFi security is an existential threat right now, and why John actually wants RealFi to be called boring. We also get into the future of decentralised neo-banking in emerging markets, what lessons he carried over from his time as the first hire at Cardano, and why product market fit today matters more than a promised roadmap. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Does 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 really teach a secret pre-tribulation rapture? For generations, many Christians have viewed this passage as one of the clearest biblical proofs that the Church will be removed from the world before the Great Tribulation. But is that what Paul actually meant? In Episode 3 of Top 10 Most Controversial Verses: Eschatology Edition, Matt Plett examines the famous “caught up” passage and challenges one of modern evangelicalism’s most influential assumptions. Rather than describing believers escaping the earth, Paul may instead be portraying the public, victorious arrival of Christ and the resurrection of the dead. Exploring the meaning of “meeting the Lord in the air,” Roman historical background, resurrection themes, and the wider biblical context, this episode takes a fresh look at one of the most debated texts in Bible prophecy.

Welcome to How to Decorate from Ballard Designs! While the team takes a short summer break, they are re-sharing a handful of their all-time favorite podcast episodes. Today, Caroline, Taryn, and Liz sit down with American interior designer David Jimenez to discuss his path to living in Paris and his Rizzoli book, Parisian by Design: Interiors by David Jimenez. David shares the secrets behind effortless Parisian style, the art of layering, and how to create deeply personal spaces filled with joy and memories. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Embrace Antiques for Continuity: The French are known for holding onto the pieces they buy and passing them down through their families. Bringing familiar, story-filled antiques into a new home offers a comforting and reassuring atmosphere. Curate a "Salon Style" Gallery Wall: To replicate the gallery walls seen in the Louvre Museum, start hanging artwork on thin metal rods right under your room's ceiling molding. Mix Finishes Fearlessly: Do not feel constrained by strict design rules regarding matching wood or metal finishes. Mixing dark and light woods, or nickel and brass, brings energy and vital contrast to a room. Leverage Large-Scale Pieces: Create dramatic "highs and lows" in your spaces by mixing oversized items with smaller ones. A large piece of art or a tall secretary desk provides visual surprise and hierarchy. Utilize Decorative Screens: Room dividers can introduce subtle layers of texture and color, or serve a highly practical purpose like masking an unattractive view outside a window without blocking the natural sunlight. Anchor with Black: Black serves as an excellent underlying punctuation mark in a room. Using black lampshades is a reliable way to add contrast and prevent a space from feeling too monotonous. What You'll Hear on This Episode: 00:00 An introduction to the summer "best of" series and a warm welcome to guest David Jimenez. 04:52 David's career journey, starting as a Gap salesperson and leading to his relocation to reinvent a historic French brand. 08:37 The beauty of investing in antiques and the reassurance of bringing familiar furniture into new spaces. 13:55 How to casually layer your decor over the course of a relaxing afternoon. 16:27 Tips for constructing a Louvre-inspired gallery wall with high placements and metal rods. 20:20 Why breaking traditional design rules about wood and metal finishes breathes life into a room. 23:02 Using scale and oversized pieces to create necessary visual drama. 25:37 Practical and aesthetic applications for decorative folding screens. 29:02 The inspiration behind David's favored 7cm-wide black and white striped curtains from the Marché Saint-Pierre. 32:25 Why black lampshades and pops of dual-tone colors help ground a space. 34:29 How observing master designers like Madeleine Castaing can influence your own design choices. 37:23 Exploring the second half of David's book, featuring an insider's guide to Parisian artisans and shopping destinations. 41:01 The crucial etiquette for shopping at French flea markets, starting with a polite greeting. 44:07 Finding bold color inspiration within historic French museums and former homes. 51:29 Details on where to purchase Parisian by Design and where to follow David's work online.

Rather than describing believers escaping the earth, Paul may instead be portraying the public, victorious arrival of Christ and the resurrection of the dead.Exploring the meaning of “meeting the Lord in the air,” Roman historical background, resurrection themes, and the wider biblical context, this episode takes a fresh look at one of the most debated texts in Bible prophecy.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Most episodes of this podcast deal with the here and now, the day-to-day cut and thrust of what is going on in the market. This podcast is completely different because it gives us a view into the future of broking. Clyde Bernstein is the Placement Technology & Trading Analytics Leader at Aon and in the first half of this podcast we examine the global broker's new Digital Placement Exchange (DPX) placing system, designed to automate the placing of following lines. Once that essential building block of the conversation is out of the way, the interview really begins to take off. What Aon is in the middle of doing is removing friction and cost from the placing process, while fully connecting all its brokers with the whole global market and all the insights the vast amount of risk and market data it has at its disposal can afford. Exploring the logical medium- and long-term consequences for the market is the really interesting part of our discussion. The transformation is profound. A market with far greater liquidity, access to deeper pools of capital and an ability to trade risk much faster and more efficiently is what emerges. Productivity, customer service and product innovation should also surge. The role of the broker could also change fundamentally. But the best thing about this conversation is not the clarity of the blue-sky thinking on display, but rather the fact that the person shaping the vision is resolutely a broker and not a technologist. In his long career Clyde has brokered claims, reinsurance and specialty risks. He is one of us – a lifelong broker who has learnt to engage with cutting edge technology and not the other way around. This means that our discussion is always grounded from the perspective of the real life of a broker solving client problems and not the utopian vision of a technologist who has never placed a risk or paid a claim. It's mind-expanding stuff and one of the best discussions on the future of broking I have ever recorded. I highly recommend a listen.

Sarah is back from the Windy City, and boy are her arms tired. Susie's whole body is tired because she had to lead a cat rescue operation. We discuss the Bang My Box documentary about Robin Byrd's New York cable access show in the 80s, and how she was a gay icon and advocate, but got spooked by the internet. We learn why Burning Man was in distress over Covid, why white people love the festival, and why we wish there was a Burning Man for nerds. We hear about a fella who cut off his member and set his neighbor's house on fire. We learn why there are far more shellfish now than there used to be. And we get a shocking update about the mountain climber who left his girlfriend in the Alps to die of hypothermia, and what happened when he was tried for negligent murder.00:00 - Sarah's Windy City Adventures and Toy Story 5 Review06:26 - Susie's Wild Cat Rescue and Pet Parenthood14:56 - Exploring the Provocative 'Bang My Box' Documentary22:11 - Sarah's Glowing Review of OneSkin Skincare24:03 - Unpacking Burning Man's Allure and Controversies33:53 - Thanking Donors and Lottery Pool Last Call35:54 - Unbelievable Headline: Penis, Garage, and Fire39:17 - Octopus and Squid Now Classified as Shellfish43:19 - The Tragic Alpine Death and Climber's Trial01:01:50 - Supporting the Show and Joining the Candy Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For up to 65% off your order, head to https://veracityhealth.co and use code BRAINCANDYGet 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpodTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Dr. LaNail R. Plummer is a visionary mental health expert, educator, speaker, and author dedicated to redefining how minorities are seen, supported, and healed in clinical spaces. Her book, The Essential Guide for Counseling Black Women (Jan 2026, Norton & Co), is her first of three serving as both a professional resource for educators and mental health providers, and an accessible guide for Black women looking to heal. For Dr. Plummer, the book is more than theory but a response to a gap witnessed in her entire career; the need for healthcare (especially within mental health) that affirms and reflects the real lived experiences of Black women. Dr. Plummer brings two decades of clinical expertise and lived experience to inform her work. In 2013, she founded Onyx Therapy Group, a mental health organization with a team of 40+ BIPOC counselors and consultants serving Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Louisiana, with an international footprint in South Africa. Onyx's work spans across culturally responsive mental health care, consultation for local and government agencies, executive coaching, mentorship, and even prison reform work. We discuss topics including: Black women can have clinicians that understand how to work with black women Understanding that we are not all the same as our perspectives are different Exploring the stereotypes with black women The importance for black women to be seen and heard Reviewing the messages that you have been taught about black women Countertransference makes every black woman not enjoy the experience of therapy or be willing to give another therapist a chance   SHOW NOTES:   Website: www.onyxtherapy.com Book: The Essential Guide for Counseling Black Women IG: @Mahoganysunshine IG: @onyxtherapygroup ____________________________________________ If you have any questions regarding the topics discussed on this podcast, please reach out to Robyn directly via email: rlgrd@askaboutfood.com You can also connect with Robyn on social media by following her on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
