We are kicking off the second part of Season 5 with a bang and sharing one of the coolest programs we've had the pleasure of learning about: Cardinal Manufacturing. Led by our guests, Craig and Tyson, Cardinal Manufacturing is a high school class *and* a full-fledged business that allows students to not only do actual work but learn the skills involved in running a business, from how to walk through a door with confidence and give a good handshake to how to quote jobs, do the work, and submit invoices. Like…can you even?! It's the coolest program and we can't wait to share it with you. About Cardinal Manufacturing: Cardinal Manufacturing began in the Eleva-Strum School District during the 2007-2008 academic year when instructor, Craig Cegielski, approached the School Board about the potential of pursuing an in-school manufacturing business similar to one he started in his prior position in the school district of Antigo, WI. The school board approved and since that time Cardinal Manufacturing has gone from its infant stages to a company with significant annual sales and national notoriety. The growth of the program has attracted national and international attention and Cardinal Manufacturing has attended national tradeshows and hosted celebrity guests including Wisconsin's Governor, Scott Walker. Cardinal Manufacturing has served hundreds of customers from private individuals to clients throughout the state of Wisconsin and other parts of the country. A number of students have gone directly to skilled employment positions after high school, but most choose to go on to post-secondary education through technical college or the university system. Chippewa Valley Technical College and UW-Stout have taken a particular interest in the program. Cardinal Manufacturing has also built strong relationships with a number of private companies and professional organizations which have been supportive through donations, advice, publicity opportunities, and projects. In-school programs such as Cardinal Manufacturing serve as a grassroots economic development effort. Not only do these programs expose students to career opportunities in manufacturing and teach students soft skills for future employment, but they also work toward changing the attitudes of counselors and parents to be more open to the idea of encouraging students to look at manufacturing careers. Students get hands on opportunities to try out these roles before making an expensive decision in choosing a post-secondary program. In other words, kids get the chance to try welding, machining, construction, production management, accounting, office management, and marketing prior to committing to a major or area of study. The services provided through the program are worthwhile and valuable to the customers who pay for the service. Cardinal Manufacturing is a year-long two credit class which offers more than a standard classroom instruction. Students in this class gain the real life experiences of problem solving, running a business, and working in professional career roles. Students must apply to be part of this program and manufacturing employees have successfully completed both Metal Working I and II. The application process includes creating and submitting a resume, project portfolio, and a letter of recommendation. Once accepted, student participants are assigned a role that may include: Quoting jobs Ordering materials Manufacturing parts Quality control and inspections Shipping product Receiving product and materials Invoicing Customer service Accounting Marketing Maintaining work hours Besides the great experience gained, the students receive a profit sharing check at the end of the school year based upon number of hours worked and other measurement tools. Only a portion of Cardinal Manufacturing earnings are paid to students after expenses and upcoming needs are covered. Most of the money earned supports the purchase of materials, equipment and facility needs to continually grow and improve Cardinal Manufacturing. About Craig: Craig Cegielski, a native of Marshfield, WI, developed a passion for manufacturing early on through high school technical education classes and hands-on work at a local machine and fabrication shop. He earned his degree in Technology Education from the University of Wisconsin–Stout and began his teaching career at Antigo High School, where he launched the successful student-run business, Red Robin Machining. After a brief return to industry, Craig joined Eleva-Strum High School as a Technology Education teacher. In 2007, he founded Cardinal Manufacturing, a student-run business designed to give students real-world experience in the trades. With over 20 years of dedication to technical education, Craig continues to lead and expand Cardinal Manufacturing, helping prepare students for successful careers in manufacturing. About Tyson: Tyson Rohrscheib is a Technology Education teacher at Eleva-Strum High School, where he has taught since 2019. An Eleva-Strum alumnus, Tyson began his training in Machine Tool and Die at Chippewa Valley Technical College before earning his degree in Technology Education from the University of Wisconsin–Stout. He brings a strong background in machining and hands-on learning to his teaching, preparing students for real-world careers in manufacturing and engineering. Outside of the classroom, Tyson is active on his family farm, managing a herd of 40 beef cattle and working on metalworking projects in his home shop. In this episode, we cover: What Cardinal Manufacturing is and how it started How exposing kids at a young age is key to getting them interested in a career Why technical skills are the least important thing they teach How the local community supports Cardinal Manufacturing and the students Links + Resources Mentioned: Website: Cardinal ManufacturingVideo Gallery: Watch HereFacebook: @CardinalManufacturingInstagram: @cardinal_manufacturingYouTube: Cardinal Manufacturing Channel Sponsor Spotlight: Brodie Mueller and The Market on the Plaza In small towns, coffee is more than caffeine.

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with Adam Kuhn, IT Director and DelCor alum, to discuss the evolving role of IT in associations. From foundational infrastructure to advanced cybersecurity strategies, Adam shares lessons learned from both sides of the fence—being an internal influencer and a business partner. The conversation explores how IT leaders can move beyond “keeping the lights on” to proactively shaping organizational maturity, especially in the face of overwhelming system data and increasing security demands.Summary:Cybersecurity as a Strategic InvestmentCybersecurity tools like Arctic Wolf elevate IT maturity beyond basic infrastructure.Associations must move from reactive to proactive security strategies.Cyber insurance requirements are evolving and often unclear, requiring IT guidance.IT Maturity: From Core Requirements to ElectivesAdam compares IT infrastructure to college coursework—core requirements vs. electives.Core includes cloud migration, Microsoft 365, and basic security tools.Electives like threat detection systems represent strategic growth and investment.Information Overload & the Need for SynthesisDevices generate massive amounts of data that are impossible to interpret manually.Security operations centers help synthesize logs and alerts across systems.IT teams need tools to manage and interpret this data effectively.IT's Role in Business Decision-MakingIT should be a trusted advisor, not a gatekeeper or veto power.Excluding IT from technology selection leads to costly integration surprises.IT's involvement ensures better alignment, risk mitigation, and long-term success.Building Cross-Departmental PartnershipsIT needs access to systems it doesn't own to ensure full security coverage.Business units must understand their role in cybersecurity and collaborate with IT.Partnership is essential—not optional—for organizational safety and resilience.Influencing Leadership & Budget DecisionsIT leaders must make cogent cases for investment in security and infrastructure.Budget support depends on trust and clear communication with leadership.Adam emphasizes gratitude for working in a supportive environment that values IT input.

This week on The AEW-some Pod, Diana Prince, Gringo Fantastico, and Johnny Taylor ride into Roanoke for a Collision recap that's got it all—big boots, bigger pops, and… a suspicious amount of chopping. The Fletcher vs. Ishii TNT Title slugfest was about the only thing Gringo liked, Hangman lit up his home-state crowd, and Willow Nightingale tried to steal the night from an entire spooky trio. Plus—Big Bill keeps wandering into other people's matches, Ricochet's “respect tour” continues, and Harley Cameron's pink mask might be haunted. Strap in—this one's part love letter, part roast.

In this episode, Chris, Mike, and special guest/producer Steve catch up post-film festival to unpack the last few chaotic weeks of filmmaking, festivals, and film nerdery. The guys recount an award-nominated short they worked on, the highs and lows of networking at Golden Door Film Festival and the NJ Film Expo, and some sharp critique on another 9/11-themed short that left everyone confused. They also break down key takeaways from the B&H Build Expo — including what makes video content actually connect with people — and try to make sense of a whirlwind talk from an eccentric AI influencer who may or may not have burned down her childhood home. Plus: Full spoiler review of the new F1 racing film starring Brad Pitt, including what made it work, what fell flat, and how the hell they actually filmed it. (Hint: iPhones, GoPros, and possibly witchcraft.)

Was, wenn man in der Vorweihnachtszeit ein schweres Herz hat? Wenn da vielleicht niemand ist, der so richtig zu einem gehört? Oder es in der Familie eher Streit als Besinnlichkeit gibt? Wenn das eigene Leben wenig mit dem zu tun hat, was man bei Instagram sieht? Für Psychologen ist grad Hochsaison, weiß Rolf Schmiel. Wir beide kennen das auch, dass es kompliziert werden kann, sich Konstellationen ändern und die Planung des Fests belastend werden kann. Bei manchen wird das Gefühl des Alleinseins in diesen Wochen noch schlimmer und genau dagegen wollen wir gemeinsam etwas tun. Wir kriegen von Rolf einen alles verändernden sehr guten Tipp!! Und noch ganze viele kleine dazu, schließlich ist er der Mann mit den „Psychohacks“. Eine ehrliche, gefühlvolle Folge zur Adventszeit. Wir wünschen Euch Selbstliebe, Kraft, Freundschaft und unverhoffte schöne Momente mit anderen, die diese Vorweihnachtszeit ein bisschen glücklicher machen!

An Episode with Ye Olde Charm!Here's what's to come in this episode: * In this episode, Matt and Angela dive into why Renaissance Faires feel innately autistic and explore how the art of LARPing offers a unique twist on masking—where choosing your own character and setting clear expectations can actually work for autistic folks.* Matt and Angela dive into how events like Ren Faires and concerts—though they might seem like sensory overload for autistic folks—can actually be a sensory delight, offering the freedom to "choose your own adventure" and control the level of sensory input.* Additionally, Renaissance Faires and historical reenactments tap into the concept of stimming by recreating the same rituals and experiences in a consistent, familiar way over and over again.* Our hosts explore why Renaissance Fests offer autistic folks a safe space to unmask, stim, embrace echolalia or non-speaking communication (whatever feels right!), set their own structure and rules, build careers around their special interests, and truly let their authentic selves shine.“If you are unhappy in your job and you have a special interest, I promise you there is some way to make that into a career. God knows what way, but there is a way.” - Angela“It's the difference between being in the shower and being hit by a water gun. Because the water gun might be even less water than you're getting in the shower, but you choose the time, you choose the place, you choose the intensity, you choose the temperature. ” - Matt“Before the word ‘autism' was ever uttered, you knew what kind of person would go out to the Gettysburg battlefield and dress up and have prop replicas and all these genuine replicas and have these, you know, historically accurate costumes they made themselves.” - AngelaDid you notice the connection between Renaissance Faires and the autistic experience?

When we talk about what they appreciate about beer, it's not uncommon to hear them mention the people; the “community.” And in a very tangible way, there are few examples for how this appears than at a beer festival. All over the country, almost all year-round, you can find examples of packed event halls, convention centers, and even parking lots where enthusiasts and novices alike mill about, sampling different beers. But more recently - and certainly partially because of the COVID pandemic - these festivals have hit a rough patch. For some of the most prominent beer fests, interest isn't as high as it used to be and ticket sales are just a little tougher. In Canada, the annual Windsor Craft Beer Festival was canceled due to lagging sales while it easily sold out during its heydays of the mid-2010s. Similarly, The Oregon Brewers Festival was canceled this year after organizers shared that higher costs, lower attendance, and extreme weather were making it harder to stay a successful event. Last year, the Great American Beer Festival cut its ticket numbers by 20,000 across multiple sessions after years of more challenging sales.  So what is the state of these special events? Let's dive into it with Sightlines reporter Kate Bernot…
