Top Stories for August 19th Publish Date: August 19th PRE-ROLL: MONSTER JAM From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, August 19th and Happy Heavenly Birthday to Matthew Perry I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Approaching 90, Lawrenceville's Bob Cunningham still in the swing of things as a golf teacher Rascal Flatts bringing Life Is A Highway tour to Gas South Arena Gwinnett wants to increase poll worker pay for 2026 elections All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: Approaching 90, Lawrenceville's Bob Cunningham still in the swing of things as a golf teacher Come September, Bob Cunningham—“Georgia’s Golf Guru” to those who know him—will hit a milestone most golfers only dream of: turning 90 and still shooting his age. But for Bob, golf isn’t just about playing—it’s about teaching. Five days a week, you’ll find him at Pine Hills Golf Club or The Sports Academy, sharing his “Alignment, Balance, Connection” philosophy with students. Bob’s been teaching for over 20 years, charging the same $50 an hour since day one. And retirement? Not a chance. Bob’s secret to staying young? Golf, fresh air, and purpose. For lessons, call 770-378-4310. STORY 2: Rascal Flatts bringing Life Is A Highway tour to Gas South Arena Fresh off their sold-out comeback tour, Rascal Flatts is gearing up for another run in 2026 with their Life Is A Highway tour—and yep, they’re stopping in Gwinnett. Mark your calendar: Feb. 12 at Gas South Arena. Joining them? Country favorite Chris Lane, adding even more energy to the 21-city tour that’s set to bring all the hits (and probably a few tears) to fans across the country. Tickets? They’re already on sale, so don’t wait—grab yours at Ticketmaster before they’re gone. Because let’s be honest, they will be. STORY 3: Gwinnett wants to increase poll worker pay for 2026 elections Gwinnett County wants to bump up pay for poll workers in 2026—and honestly, it’s about time. With a packed election year ahead (think: governor, U.S. Senate, and all the chaos in between), they’re asking for $120,913 to raise stipends and $87,972 for in-person training. The pay hikes? Modest but meaningful: poll managers could see $350 a day (up $10), assistant managers $280 (up $40), issuing clerks $235 (up $20), and non-issuing clerks $170 (up $10). Why? To stay competitive with neighboring counties and attract qualified workers. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: MONSTER JAM STORY 4: NBA Champion Adam Flagler Hosts Basketball Camp at Alma Mater Duluth Less than two months after winning an NBA championship with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Adam Flagler was back where it all started—Duluth High School—hosting his first-ever youth camp on Saturday. Over 200 kids showed up, from elementary schoolers to high school athletes, to learn from the former Wildcat who once dominated these same courts. Planning started months ago, with Duluth assistant coach Byron Wilson leading the charge. Flagler’s journey to the NBA wasn’t smooth. After graduating from Duluth in 2018 as the school’s all-time leading scorer, he took his only Division I offer at Presbyterian College. After a standout freshman year, he transferred to Baylor, where he helped the Bears win a national championship in 2021. Undrafted in 2023, Flagler signed with the Thunder, grinding in the G-League before earning a spot on the roster. This past season, he played 37 games and became an NBA champion. Now signed with the Spurs, Flagler’s future is bright, but Saturday was all about the kids. STORY 5: Study: Georgia Gwinnett College has made a $7 billion economic impact since its inception Georgia Gwinnett College isn’t just shaping minds—it’s driving dollars, too. Since 2007, GGC has pumped over $7 billion into the economy, according to a University System of Georgia study. Just last year? More than $558 million flowed into Gwinnett County and metro Atlanta, supporting nearly 3,800 jobs—on and off campus. With 14,000+ alumni living and working locally, GGC’s influence stretches far beyond its classrooms, building communities and preparing tomorrow’s leaders. We’ll be right back. Break: MONSTER JAM STORY 6: Let The Search Begin The Gwinnett County Board of Education is back at it—searching for yet another superintendent after firing two in just four years. It’s a mess, honestly. Who’s even going to want this job? And how do you find someone who can handle the chaos, the politics, and the sheer size of this district? This time, they’re slowing down. The board hired Alma Advisory Group for $99,840 to lead the search, promising community input through town halls, surveys, and focus groups. But critics are already talking. Some say the process feels predetermined, others worry about bias, and a few question if Alma’s track record is strong enough. Meanwhile, Interim Superintendent Al Taylor, a GCPS veteran, has quietly won over many with his steady leadership. Whoever takes the job will face big challenges: chronic absenteeism, behavior issues, budget scrutiny, and the ever-present pressure to improve academics. The board says they’ll have someone in place by the 2026 school year. But with so many eyes watching—and so much at stake—this hire feels like more than just filling a position. It’s about restoring trust, stability, and hope in a district that desperately needs all three. STORY 7: ART BEAT: Gwinnett Symphony announces 2025-26 concert schedule “Expect the Unexpected.” That’s the theme for the Gwinnett Symphony’s 2025-2026 season, and honestly? They’re not kidding. This year’s lineup is packed with everything from Copland to carols, Beethoven to the King of Pop. Classical purists, modern music lovers, and everyone in between—there’s something here for you. Kicking off Sept. 21, the “80th Anniversary World War 2 Victory Concert” at Atlanta’s Symphony Hall promises a powerhouse collaboration with the Atlanta International Symphony Orchestra. Think Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man and Bernstein’s Candide Overture. Other highlights? Handel’s Messiah in November, a Christmas concert with Sleigh Ride (kid conductors included!), and a May finale featuring Elvis, Aretha, and MJ. Details at gwinnettsymphony.org. Don’t wait—tickets will go fast. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break 4: Ingles Markets 8 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

“There's always going to be problems—but now you can build your way out of them faster than ever before.” An engineer. A founder. A fan-first futurist. Michael Dodsworth is building smarter launch systems and reminding us all to focus on the next boulder. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In This Episode In this episode, Michael Dargie sits down with Michael Dodsworth—an engineer-turned-founder with deep roots in fandom, tech, and creative process. Born in the north of England and now living in LA, Dodsworth is the founder ofFanfare, a platform helping brands, creators, and fans connect around high-demand, high-volume events like sneaker drops, product launches, and concert tickets. What started with a Commodore 64 and a love for problem-solving has evolved into a career spanning startups, acquisitions, and digital innovation. After being acquired by Salesforce and working with Ticketmaster, Dodsworth became obsessed with improving the chaotic, often unfair experiences fans face when trying to access products they love. Michael shares stories of his early days hacking Radio Shack computers, building balloon animations, and grinding through paper routes on steep Yorkshire hills. He opens up about the pressure of startup life, how he once crashed production two weeks into a job, and why joy and discipline—not motivation—are what keep him going. They explore everything from 80s synth pop and guilty-pleasure movies like Samurai Cop, to burnout, branding, and why Mario Kart and LA traffic can be strangely meditative. This is a conversation about building what won't leave you alone—and the power of just showing up. Quotable Quotes “You're never going to have perfection the first time you launch… there are nerve-wracking moments, but you just keep going.” “You're never going to button up everything. There's always going to be risks. The important part is to steady the ship.” “Find the thing that works for you—and do that. You don't have to follow anything you see in other places.” “Once you finally accept that playing Mario Kart is the right thing for you to do in these moments, you'll feel a lot better.” “There's always going to be problems—but now you can build your way out of them faster than ever before.” “That motivation fades pretty quickly. What's left is the belief you'll get there—and just showing up.” “I'm a big proponent of focusing on the process… Just the next boulder. That's it.” Episode Highlights Startup Life | Launching Fanfare and chasing fairness Growing Up Yorkshire | Paper routes, 8-bit computers, and grit Creative Pivot | When tech meets design and marketing Hacking Radio Shack | How curiosity built a career System Fail | Breaking production two weeks in Visual Identity | Rebranding the Fanfare experience Reset Routines | Driving, Mario Kart, and solo joy Food & Nostalgia | Curry sauce, chip shops, and old cravings Advice for Rebels | Keep showing up and focus on the next boulder Links from the Episode Fanfare (https://fanfare.io) Michael on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/fanfare-io/) Get Your Copy of Michael's Book: "BrandJitsu™: Move Your Brand From 'Meh' To Memorable" Indigo | Barnes & Noble | MichaelDargie.com

In Part 4 of our conversation with comics veteran Al Milgrom, we spotlight his collaboration with Jim Shooter on Secret Wars II—digging into how the massive crossover was shaped behind the scenes, what it was like coordinating with dozens of creators, and how editorial challenges turned into creative opportunities.We also go inside Al's time as editor of Marvel Fanfare, a title often misunderstood as a dumping ground for inventory stories. Al sets the record straight—it was actually a creative playground, where artists and writers could experiment with format, storytelling, and page layout. From unique one-shots to prestige-style presentations, Fanfare gave pros like Barry Windsor-Smith and Michael Golden the freedom to think outside the box and produce work that wouldn't fit the typical monthly grind.Plus: more classic Marvel Bullpen stories—from prank wars and personality clashes to the raw energy of a company bursting with creativity in the Bronze Age.

In this episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with Michael Dodsworth, the founder and CEO of Fanfare, to unpack his inspiring and deeply personal journey from the high-paced world of tech giants to the unpredictable, purpose-driven path of entrepreneurship. Before starting Fanfare, Michael worked as an engineer at some of the most recognizable companies on the planet—including Salesforce and Ticketmaster. But despite the corporate wins and impressive resume, something was missing. In our conversation, he opens up about the internal tension and the calling that pushed him to leave the comfort of big tech to chase a deeper mission. We talk about how his passion for live events and community inspired him to create Fanfare—an innovative platform that helps creators, artists, and brands manage high-demand product drops, from concert tickets to exclusive merch, without the chaos and disappointment we've come to expect in the current system. Michael gets real about: The emotional rollercoaster of launching a startup How he went from being a behind-the-scenes engineer to a front-facing founder The importance of clear communication, even when you're building in silence What it takes to go from corporate stability to entrepreneurial risk Why solving real problems for real people has been his North Star How Fanfare is empowering creators, entrepreneurs, and fans to connect more authentically Whether you're a tech lover, a startup dreamer, or a creator looking to scale—this episode delivers powerful insight into what it truly takes to build something meaningful, one step (and sometimes one mistake) at a time. What You'll Learn: How Michael transitioned from working at Salesforce to launching his own venture The difference between working in a corporation vs. building your own startup The story behind Fanfare and its mission to reinvent product drop culture How to communicate your vision clearly—even if you're not a natural storyteller Why community building is a secret weapon for modern entrepreneurs Lessons from managing high-stakes tech challenges and turning them into simple, scalable solutions Tips for founders, creators, and innovators looking to make a difference in noisy market

Michael Dodsworth is the Founder and CEO of Fanfare —the platform turning product drops into sellouts without the chaos.  After nearly two decades in the trenches of high-stakeslaunches for top brands, Michael has seen it all—crashed servers, bot-infestedqueues, and fan meltdowns.  He's the guy behind the scenes when Taylor Swift ticketsbreak the internet or a sneaker release spirals into a PR nightmare.  Frustrated by the same mistakes playing out again andagain, Michael built Fanfare to fix the launch experience from bothsides—giving fans fairness and giving brands a real shot at loyalty, not justhype.  From SKIMS-stylesellouts to next-gen launch tech, Michael's here to share what actually works,what to stop doing now, and how any brand—big or small—can build moments theiraudience will never forget.

Il y a eu la promesse d'envoyer des systèmes de défense anti-aérienne Patriot dimanche ; il y a eu hier, lundi, la rencontre avec le secrétaire général de l'Otan Mark Rutte ; bref, résume le Washington Post, le président américain « penche du côté ukrainien de la guerre contre la Russie avec plus de force que jamais », d'autant plus que Moscou risque à son tour « des droits de douane de 100% si la guerre fait toujours rage dans 50 jours. » Après des mois d'admiration non dissimulée entre Donald Trump et Vladimir Poutine, ces menaces représentent « un changement dramatique de la position américaine dans cette guerre », souffle le New York Times. En Belgique, le Soir reste assourdi par cette « salve médiatique (…) qui résonne (…) comme un coup de canon. » Pour un éditorialiste du Post c'est une preuve de plus, s'il en fallait, « qu'il est tout sauf prévisible », là où un auteur du Wall Street Journal soupire enfin : « ça lui aura pris six mois, mais Donald Trump semble avoir conclu que Vladimir Poutine ne veut pas de la paix en Ukraine. »  Et pour ces quotidiens américains, cette décision « ouvre un nouveau chapitre dans l'histoire ukrainienne, un qui est porteur à la fois d'espoirs et de dangers. » À lire aussiCamille Grand: 50 jours pour mettre fin à la guerre en Ukraine, «une sorte d'ultimatum lancée à Vladimir Poutine» Encore des zones d'ombre  Derrière un « discours de dur à cuire », se cachent « des doutes et des détails manquants », pointe le New York Times. Donald Trump a beau assurer que les systèmes de défense Patriot seraient « rapidement » envoyés et payés par l'Otan, pourtant, indique le journal, « des cadres du Pentagone ont affirmé que de nombreux détails étaient encore discutés. » Pour le Figaro, plus encore, « la faisabilité » de ce plan « reste à démontrer. » Car, explique le titre, l'Otan dispose certes d'une agence pour l'achat d'armement, mais cette dernière « ne livre pas (…) à des tiers, a fortiori un pays en guerre. » Et en plus de cela, « elle ne repose pas sur un budget fixe. »  Surtout, il reste une inconnue majeure : « ce que les mots de Donald Trump valent vraiment », grimace le New York Times. Car de saute d'humeur en revirement, les changements d'attitude de Washington sont maintenant légion, se désole Le Soir : « les déclarations incohérentes de l'administration américaine mettent très souvent les nerfs de Kiev à vif. » Une fois de plus, s'agace le Figaro, « Trump vise surtout l'effet d'annonce (…), au détriment des ukrainiens qui dépendent toujours des livraisons américaines. » Beaucoup de bruit pour peu de changements, conclut, amer, un soldat ukrainien dans les colonnes du Soir : « tout ça ne change pas grand-chose à notre vécu depuis trente ans. C'est comme ça que l'on vit en Ukraine : dans l'incertitude. » Incertitude et chaos également dans les rues espagnoles. « Passages à tabac, émeutes et chasses à l'immigré », raconte El Mundo… voilà le triste spectacle dont les rues de Torre Pacheco, dans la région de Murcie, dans le sud-est du pays, sont devenues le théâtre. « Des dizaines d'hommes vêtus de noir, visages dissimulés et souvent armés de bâtons, raconte Le Soir, déambulent le soir dans les rues » à la recherche, disent-ils ouvertement, d'immigrés. Le déclencheur ? L'agression d'un habitant de la ville par trois jeunes hommes, apparemment d'origine marocaine. Mais en réalité, explique un journaliste spécialiste dans le quotidien belge, « l'ultra-droite attendait depuis longtemps ce genre d'incident pour attiser le racisme et provoquer ces chasses. »  À lire aussiEspagne: appels au calme après des émeutes anti-immigrés près de Murcie D'ailleurs, signale El Pais, il existe, sur Telegram, un groupe, intitulé sans ambigüité « Expulsez les maintenant – Espagne ». On y retrouve 17 tchats différents, avec plus de 1.700 membres, « dans la majorité des hommes. » Sur cette conversation, « les utilisateurs s'organisent (…) pour rechercher et battre les immigrants » sans distinction : « je frapperai tout le monde », assène ainsi un participant. Certains répondent même avec des images d'Adolf Hitler, selon les images fournies par le quotidien.  Et ces menaces n'en restent pas au stade d'élucubrations sordides sur une plateforme virtuelle, un reporter d'El Mundo raconte le calvaire de ce propriétaire de kebab d'origine marocaine : « un groupe de 30 à 50 radicaux d'extrême droite, vêtus de casques et de cagoules, sont apparus à la porte de son restaurant, qui a fini par être détruit », à coups de battes de baseball, jusqu'à ce que le restaurateur prenne la fuite. Ce dernier en tremble encore. « Si nous n'arrivons pas à nous échapper, ils nous tuent, j'en suis sûr. » À lire aussiEspagne: huit personnes interpellées après les violences racistes de Torre Pacheco

Michael Dodsworth is the founder and CEO of Fanfare, a platform built to help e-commerce brands handle massive product drops without breaking under pressure. With a background as a founding engineer and multiple startup exits—including to Salesforce and Ticketmaster—Michael has spent his career building systems that can handle huge spikes in demand. After years of solving ticketing chaos for live events, he created Fanfare to bring that same reliability to e-commerce, powering launches like SKIMS' $1 million-in-a-minute drop and making high-pressure product launches seamless for brands of all sizes. On this episode we talk about: – Michael's first job delivering newspapers in the UK and how early discipline shaped his work ethic – Discovering coding as a teen and the path from hobbyist to startup engineer – Lessons learned from early-stage startups, rapid-growth environments like Salesforce, and the difference between startup and corporate life – Building and scaling systems for massive ticketing events, including Taylor Swift and Disney, and the pain points of high-demand launches – The origin story of Fanfare: why e-commerce brands struggle with product drops and how Fanfare solves for scale, bots, and customer experience – The value of capturing data from failed buyers and turning negative sentiment into future sales – How relationships and reputation lead to new opportunities in the startup world – The impact of AI on software development, product launches, and democratizing the ability to build apps—even for non-coders – Practical advice for anyone looking to break into tech or launch their own product in the age of AI Top 3 Takeaways 1. Discipline and Action Matter: Early lessons in discipline and showing up every day translate directly to entrepreneurial success—momentum comes from taking the first step, even when the path is unclear. 2. Solve Real Problems at Scale: Fanfare was born from firsthand frustration with broken product launches and ticketing drops. The best businesses address urgent, widespread pain points for both brands and consumers. 3. AI Is Leveling the Playing Field: The latest AI tools make it easier than ever for anyone to experiment, build, and launch products—regardless of coding background. Knowing how to prompt, direct, and design will be as important as traditional engineering skills. Notable Quotes “The more you do it, the more you get used to it, and the more it becomes habit, the easier it becomes.” “At a startup, you just have to fix and chart those paths. There's nothing there—you have to define the process.” “You have to make sure you're ready to capitalize on whatever luck comes your way.” “Being able to direct AI agents to do a particular thing is a real skill. Knowing how products should be laid out will matter even more in the future.” Connect with Michael Dodsworth: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dodsworth Website: fanfare.io

I am picking up my podcast series where I left off, addressing the challenges of peace. War is an act of violence among nations or states, affecting entire countries. These terms, nations, states, and countries are not synonymous. Confusing these terms leads to misunderstanding, misinterpretation, or can be used to create misperceptions. In this episode I try to clarify the difference among nations, states, and countries. Understanding the differences and relationships among these terms is important to analyzing the actual and claimed objectives of warring parties and to identify emotion driven propaganda that obstructs the path to peace.   The information in these podcasts represents only my own thoughts, and not those of any organization I am, or have ever been associated with. (Some of what I say may be completely opposed to official position of some of the organizations.)   Music: Liszt, Les Preludes, perfomed by the USMC Band.
