Podcasts about Fireside

In this raw and intimate episode, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano takes us back to his days in the infamous ADX Florence the so-called Alcatraz of the Rockies. Locked down 23 hours a day, surrounded by concrete and silence, a letter from his daughter becomes a lifeline. But it's a surprise visitor, a moth, that sparks a moment of reflection that still haunts him to this day.What most would swat without a second thought, Sammy saw as a sign... a message that even in the darkest corners of the world, there's still light, beauty, and something worth holding onto.This isn't just a prison story. It's a meditation on survival, sanity, and the small, unexpected moments that remind us we're still human. Don't miss this one.

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: In today's Fireside Friday, I was struck at the onset of this call with a profound sadness, so if you're feeling sad today, this one is absolutely meant for you! Today's message is all around leaning into the idea that everything in our life is breaking us open to more love. That could look like grief, a job loss, a break-up... how allowing ourselves to be witnessed and known in our lives no matter what we're facing can always lead us to more expression and expansion if we'll let it.

In today's mind-bending interview with geometric master Dillon Forte we'll be diving deep into his meticulous approach to geometric tattoo designs. This guy has some serious ideas about sacred geometry that'll have you seeing triangles and circles in your sleep, trust me.   Dillon has developed a system that's all about precision applications of geometric designs, exploring why they're so damn challenging to apply and tattoo properly.

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside Friday dances with the idea that we are always keeping company internally AND externally. It's challenging us to take stock of the stories that we're allowing ourselves to tell AND the remarks, experiences and relationships that we're marking our lives with. Are we feeling expanded by being with ourselves? Are we feeling encouraged by those we spend time with? Leading at the level of our soul asks us to begin by facing inward and really examining how the company we're keeping is either fostering our flame or snuffing out our light!

Alright folks, we've got something special for today as we dive into the mind of Corey Bernhardt! A true artist who's not afraid to wear his influences on his sleeve. When Corey came by the Inside Fireside Club, he brought decades of artistic evolution that shaped his unique approach to technique - from those early comic book days to his masterful command of tattoo machines.  Corey breaks down his philosophy into what he calls "self-learned technique, learned technique, and working technique," giving us a real peek behind the curtain at how an artist evolves from imitation to innovation. So grab your dip caps and settle in as we explore everything from influences and the powerful impact of deadlines.

“The Risen and Glorified Christ” by St. Peter's Fireside

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside Friday was about remembering that often things that we've disowned or tried to change about ourselves has come from someone telling us that we needed to look/be/behave/believe differently. The truest way to love and lead the world in our most vibrant energy is to take back anything that someone has told us to abandon or change... to remember that we're not weeds, but instead vibrant flowers that exist in beauty just as we are!

Elaine chats with Katch Holmes Creative Producer and Programmer and steerer of Knockengorroch Festival. We chat everything from the beginnings of the festival, finding your North Star, music and how it makes you feel and much more. KNOCKENGORROCH FESTIVAL 22ND -25TH MAY 2025 TICKET LINK Link to hear Kuchke Knockengorroch and The Green Gathering Two of the UK's longest-running grassroots festivals – Knockengorroch and The Green Gathering – are joining forces to create a pioneering partnership celebrating Celtic music, land, and nature. Launching at a time when independent festivals are under increasing pressure, Meet Us by the Fireside is a symbol of resilience and unity, offering festival-goers a unique opportunity to experience both events at a discounted rate. Green Gathering Tickets Knockengorroch Festival Knockengorroch Festivals were born from a love of the land, excellent roots music and celebrating the good times. We present unparalleled music, arts and workshops in a beautiful mountain riverside meadow. For us location is key. We are one of the most beautiful and unique festival venues in the UK. Our festival commemorates and celebrates the history and the people that once lived in our valley, in former times an entire village… We are a festival run by a family, for families, in the very broadest sense of the word. We support rural regeneration in the Uplands of Scotland, creating local business and enterprise, and attracting visitors to a still surprisingly relatively unexplored region of Scotland, our ‘Hidden Gem'. In times long past the native hills and streams of Scotland shaped its music. Stream becomes river, rural track becomes urban street, the musical landscape of today's global village is diverse, both urban and rurally inspired. But all music speaks a universal language. Knockengorroch establishes progressive linkage between sounds indigenous to its natural amphitheatre venue and the now far-flung Celtic diaspora, once rooted in such homely places. We promote multi-cultural forms and musical genres, highlighting the connection between roots music and the lands and people that created it. Music from all continents is presented alongside the best in Scottish talent to showcase music in both traditional and contemporary fields. It is Knockengorroch's unique remit not only to celebrate cultural diversity and fusion, but to make the music home amongst the hills once more, and give it up to the people. Katch Holmes Katch is a Creative Producer. She conceives of, synthesise and deliver international cultural activity, having worked in the sector for over 20 years. She programmes and steers the Knockengorroch music festival which takes place in the Southern Uplands of South West Scotland. Katch produces further creative projects that highlight people, landscape and heritage. For more details you can browse the projects page.She presents and represents exceptional music through my agency Off Site Productions.

An album pin is a lapel pin with artwork inspired by a specific album or song from an album. It could be the actual album artwork or it could be inspired by a specific track on the album. The best album pins stand out on their own. They appeal to more than just your fans. It is simple, bold, and visually engaging. However, what truly makes it an “album pin” is that the purchaser also gets a digital album with their pin. I have an entire blog on my website with details including templates for you to make your own album pin jacket.

In this reflective minisode, Jennifer Brown looks back on her recent experience speaking at the House of Beautiful Business PolyOpportunity Gathering—just days after undergoing emergency surgery. From a place of physical vulnerability and emotional clarity, she shares insights on what it meant to show up raw and real, and how that moment sparked deeper questions about the disintegration of traditional DEI frameworks, the paradox of belonging without othering, and the need to compost old methods in order to grow something new. This is an invitation to pause, reflect, and consider what must be released—and what can be reimagined—in this evolving chapter of change work.

In this special episode of Fireside, Chris Marine and David Gogel of Campfire Consulting are joined by Katie Patrick — Australian-American environmental engineer, author, and self-described “climate action designer.” Katie specializes in “the design of getting people to change,” applying behavioral science and gamification to help communities and businesses drive measurable environmental action.She's the author of How to Save the World: How to Make Changing the World the Greatest Game We've Ever Played — a book Forbes named one of the top five for social entrepreneurs, and one that Seth Godin praised as “an urgent and useful guide for anyone who seeks to make a difference. It will change your work for the better.”Katie is also the founder of Hello World Labs, a platform where she teaches green leaders how to use data, creativity, and game mechanics to boost climate engagement. Most recently, she launched Earth Doctors, a project aimed at empowering kids to become the next generation of planet healers.In this conversation, we explore:Why traditional sustainability messaging often falls flatWhat it means to design for action using behavioral science and systems thinkingHow climate action can be transformed into a compelling, data-driven experienceAnd what marketers, creatives, and purpose-driven brands can learn from the world of gamesIf you care about people, purpose, or the planet — this episode will reframe how you think about impact.Enjoying this content?

In the evolving world of tattoo aftercare, understanding the science behind healing can make all the difference in preserving your artwork for decades. When we talked with Don Ranns, we dug into how inflammation affects tattoo healing and why ingredients like CBD are showing promising results for reducing redness and irritation during the critical first days after getting inked.  The shift from petroleum-based products that simply create a barrier to natural formulations that actually nourish the skin represents a fundamental change in how we approach tattoo longevity. This conversation highlighted how proper aftercare isn't just about the immediate healing phase but requires ongoing maintenance to keep tattoos looking vibrant through years of sun exposure and natural aging.

What's up everyone, I just had the opportunity to sit down with the incredibly talented Levi Hilton, a recommendation from our friend Patrick O'Neal, and it turned out to be one of the best episodes we've recorded in quite a while. Levi shared his journey from Louisiana to San Diego, diving deep into how animation influenced his unique tattoo style and the importance of understanding how designs interact with the body as a canvas.  We explored some really profound concepts about simplifying art for maximum impact, using negative space effectively, and why making mistakes is actually essential to artistic growth. If you're looking to level up your tattoo game with insights about shape design, placement techniques, and finding your authentic artistic voice, this conversation is packed with wisdom you won't want to miss.

An album pin is a lapel pin with artwork inspired by a specific album or song from an album. It could be the actual album artwork or it could be inspired by a specific track on the album. The best album pins stand out on their own. They appeal to more than just your fans. It is simple, bold, and visually engaging. However, what truly makes it an “album pin” is that the purchaser also gets a digital album with their pin. I have an entire blog on my website with details including templates for you to make your own album pin jacket.

We're diving deep into the world of Gifford Kasen! An artist who didn't just learn tattooing, but breathed it, challenged it, and transformed through relentless curiosity. From punk rock flyers to intricate large scale biomech designs, to incredible fine art, this is about breaking down artistic barriers and finding your own voice in a world that's constantly trying to box you in.  Every technical skill, every experimental technique, every moment of creative friction becomes part of the toolkit of an artist committed to continuous development. This isn't some motivational poster - it's about understanding how artistic growth happens through deliberate challenge, strategic experimentation, and a willingness to completely demolish your comfort zone. If you're serious about leveling up your craft, get ready to look at your artistic development like a technical problem that needs solving - one barrier at a time.

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today you'll hear me explore what it means to become an authentic leader... you're going to have to do it awkward. Yep, it's awkward before it's elegant. I am seeking to learn how to embrace more of that process and lean INTO the awkward instead of wish it way or want it to be different. The "shoulds" around it being different are usually things we learned from the world around us... always wanting to present something finished/polished/perfected, but the real secret I'm seeking to embrace is that the awkward part is actually just LIFE. Can you embrace more of your awkward? Maybe we can do it together! Now I Become Myself May Sarton (1912–1995)Now I become myself.  It's takenTime, many years and places;I have been dissolved and shaken,Worn other people's faces,Run madly, as if Time were there,Terribly old, crying a warning,“Hurry, you will be dead before—“(What?  Before you reach the morning?Or the end of the poem is clear?Or love safe in the walled city?)Now to stand still, to be here,Feel my own weight and density!The black shadow on the paperIs my hand; the shadow of a wordAs thought shapes the shaperFalls heavy on the page, is heard.All fuses now, falls into placeFrom wish to action, word to silence,My work, my love, my time, my faceGathered into one intenseGesture of growing like a plant.As slowly as the ripening fruitFertile, detached, and always spent,Falls but does not exhaust the root,So all the poem is, can give,Grows in me to become the song,Made so and rooted so by love.Now there is time and Time is young.O, in this single hour I loveAll of myself and do not move.I, the pursued, who madly ran,Stand still, stand still, and stop the sun!ABOUT: Welcome to a Fireside Friday Recording.

The tattoo industry has always been about overcoming obstacles, but few challenges hit as hard as finding the right space to call home. When we caught up with Robyn and Ty Pallotta at the Star of Texas Tattoo Convention, their story of facing 20+ rejections from property managers struck a chord that many artists can relate to.  Their journey from a private studio to fighting antiquated lease stipulations highlights the evolving landscape of our industry in growing cities like Austin. As veterans know, sometimes in tattooing, the biggest battle isn't creating the art—it's finding walls to hang it on.
