Podcasts about First Light

What does it take to become the first American woman to race a sailboat solo and nonstop around the world? In this unforgettable conversation, Ginny sits down with record-breaking sailor Cole Brauer, author of First Light, to explore the grit, failure, wonder, and self-reliance behind her extraordinary 27,000-mile journey. Cole shares how she broke into an elite sport without money, connections, or a sailing family—and why the countless setbacks along the way were essential to her success. She takes listeners inside the realities of solo sailing, from food poisoning and broken ribs to brutal Southern Ocean conditions, while describing the profound relationship she developed with her boat and the natural world around her. The conversation goes far beyond sailing. Cole reflects on learning to embrace failure, tuning out other people's judgment, trusting your own capabilities, and rediscovering the sensory awareness we lose when life becomes dominated by screens. She also shares how a childhood spent kayaking, exploring marshes, and finding solace outdoors helped shape the resilience she would eventually need at sea. An inspiring conversation about courage, nature, perseverance, and becoming the person who starts a new legacy. Get Cole's book here! ** A huge thank you to our sponsors!

It's all hands on deck for the Talking Space Team as we examine the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope which began its three month journey to its permanent station-keeping point at Lagrange Point 2. Once there and fully commissioned, Roman will begin it's initial 5 year mission, surveying billions galaxies to track how galactic structures change over time, hunting super novae to measure how the universe is expanding, and measuring weak gravitational lensing which tracks how the gravity of invisible dark matter warps the light of distant galaxies.   Roman is expected to locate up to 100,000 new exoplanets or more by monitoring millons of stars, using a process called gravitational microlensing which enables Roman to find even the smallest of planets around an observable star and will watch for any star tranists or dimming of stars which occurs when a planet blocks a fraction of light a star emits.   And as with all NASA missions, there is a tech demo planned. A new instrument, the Chronograph will act as a deep space “umbrella” of sorts, blocking the light of a star so that a planet that might be on orbit can be observed and recorded.   Our Kennedy Space Center chief correspondent Mark Ratterman was on site to document the launch day minus one activity and launch day itself  that brought us the sound of five million pounds of thrust from the 27 Merlin engines of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch vehicle. Mark also interviewed Jeff Hanke, President of Space Systems and Mission Systems and Wendy Minotti, Program Manager, Exquisite Imaging, Space and Imaging Systems at L3-Harris, a critical member of the Roman Telescope team about their role in preparing the telescope's mirror.   Roman carries the names of 1,350,144 people on a commemorative placard on board the spacecraft. If you missed your opportunity to get your name on the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope, you still have an opportunity to put your mark on the mission by adopting a pixel on Roman's “First Light” image.

In First Light Ep. 47, we hear about how mercy is always near. In this very personal episode, Chuck will share how God surpised him in an unexpected way. This story is sure to encourage you through hard times.

Send us Fan MailIf “being yourself” sounds like bad business advice, Will Williams has the receipts. We talk about what it really takes to build wealth while staying authentic and why authenticity can be a competitive advantage instead of a liability. Will shares how he learned resilience early by selling door to door, treating every “no” as data, not a verdict, and building the kind of confidence that lasts longer than any pep talk.We also get into the deeper side of personal branding and authentic leadership. Will breaks down how language and word choice can hit the subconscious, why people hide behind job titles, and what changed for him after a major spiritual awakening. One of the sharpest threads is identity: when someone asks “who are you,” can you answer without reaching for status, a role, or a résumé?Then the business stories get wild. Will explains how he acquired a sports team for free, flipped it with sponsorships, and discovered that TV access is often the real revenue engine behind sports ownership. He walks through how advertising, tape delay, and sponsor strategy can turn “losing” teams into profitable media properties, plus how that experience naturally expanded into consulting. We close with a lottery wire transfer story, his LinkedIn strategy for reaching the power base, and a final reminder that luck shows up more often when preparation is already in place. Subscribe, share this with someone building in silence, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway: where could authenticity create more leverage for you right now?Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Send us Fan MailYour audience can smell “marketing” from a mile away, and AI is making that scent even stronger. From inbox emails to social feeds, the volume of automated content is training people to distrust anything that feels like it came from a machine. So how do you build brand trust, credibility, and real connection in an AI-shaped world without abandoning the speed and leverage AI can offer?We talk with branding veteran and author Paul Larch about a simple but powerful idea: people decide with the emotional “old brain” first, then the rational “new brain” shows up to justify the decision. That shift changes everything about messaging strategy. We get into why feature-first marketing fails, how cognitive biases and shortcuts shape buying behavior, and why manipulative tactics might grab attention but quietly destroy long-term credibility.From there, we move into practical tools you can use right away, including Paul's brand value canvas approach that starts with features, then digs into pain points and deeper desires. We also explore storytelling, character-driven campaigns, and brand archetypes (think caregiver, rebel, creator, hero) as a way to stay consistent and authentic. Finally, we connect it back to HAI, human plus AI, and how to “teach” your AI your identity so it amplifies your voice instead of replacing it.If you want smarter AI marketing without losing authenticity, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with the biggest trust mistake you see brands making today.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

What happens when you spend four months completely alone, racing non-stop around the planet through the Southern Ocean and around Cape Horn? For Cole Brauer, who at 29 became the first American woman to race solo non-stop around the world, the finish line wasn't the goal. The journey was. In her deeply personal new memoir, **First Light: Sailing Solo But Not Alone**, Cole talks with Bill about why she didn't want the book to end, why the most dangerous seas on earth felt safer than coming home to a media circus, and why you don't have to sail around the world to be proud of yourself. This is not just a sailing story. It's a story about learning to be proud of yourself again — whether that's rounding Cape Horn, making it to a yoga class, or just waking up early enough to watch the sunrise. Cole shares how she battled despair by going back to nature, how she turned her daily playlist into art, how her boat First Light became her confidant, and why everything she does from now on is "bonus" after already living her dream.Get your copy of First Light by Cole BrauerAs an Amazon Associate, Now I've Heard Everything may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.Get your FREE sample chapter of "The Life in Your Memory"Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Cole Brauer and her sailing journey 01:58 The emotional impact of finishing her race and writing the book 04:05 The mental and emotional challenges of returning home 05:52 The importance of saying no and setting boundaries 08:02 Working with nature rather than fighting it 10:12 The skills and intuition needed for solo sailing 12:00 Handling physical and mental challenges during the race 13:50 The role of music and art in coping with solitude 16:06 Advice for overcoming loneliness and mental health struggles 17:59 The significance of small achievements and living in the moment 19:46 What's next after achieving her dreamGuest InformationCole BrauerWebsiteSocial:YouTube Facebook Instagram TikTok1992 interview with Gloria SteinemFor more intriguing and engaging interviews each week, subscribe now on:Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube

Send us Fan MailYour business does not need more hype about artificial intelligence. It needs a way to use AI marketing tools to drive real results without sounding like a robot. Grant McGaugh sits down with Dan of BizHack Academy and lead instructor Anita Larsen to unpack the true origin story behind their small business training movement, from an in-person Facebook ads course to a COVID-era scramble that forced a choice: shut down or serve. That decision sparked free webinars on crisis communications and digital marketing that ultimately helped more than 10,000 entrepreneurs and reshaped what BizHack became.We also dig into the moments that tested leadership and values, including how scholarships for minority-owned and women-owned businesses grew out of a commitment to show up when it mattered. Grant shares his own pivot from corporate healthcare IT into entrepreneurship, and why building a personal brand and repeatable marketing skills changed everything. Dan explains what it was really like to testify before a House subcommittee on small business about why AI literacy and training deserve public investment to protect Main Street and keep local economies from turning into nothing but franchises.Then we bring it to what's happening now: Breakthrough 402 launching in Omaha, Nebraska. Anita lays out an action-oriented, eight-week program where business owners build and run a real campaign, learn foundational marketing principles, and apply AI ethically through automation, emerging search concepts, and tools that get work done faster while keeping the human voice in charge.

In the Williams Broadcasting Studio join John Williams and Patrick Woodcock with special guest Kevin Compher of Firstlight for this weeks "Bottom Line" podcast!

Fear has a way of showing up when we least expect it. In First Light Ep. 47, Chuck talks about some recent moments that brought new fears into his life and forced him to look at fear, suffering, living, and hope a little differently. The more life we live, the more we realize they are often directly connected. Suffering can bring fear. Fear can make us question what comes next. But through it all, we are reminded that our hope was never meant to come from knowing what tomorrow holds. Our hope comes from knowing Who holds tomorrow. New fears will come. Hard days will come. There will be moments we do not understand and circumstances we would never choose for ourselves. But none of those things change who God is or what He has promised. Sometimes trusting the Lord is easy. Other times, it means choosing Him when we are scared, hurting, and unsure of what is ahead. It means believing His ways are greater than our understanding and continuing to walk with Him even when we cannot see where the road leads. Fear is part of living. Suffering is part of living. But because of the Lord, so is hope. "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." Romans 5:3-4 (NIV)

Send us Fan MailThe moment AI stops being a chatbot and starts taking actions, the real question changes from “Is it smart?” to “Who owns the decision?” That's where this conversation with Alan Wesley goes fast and deep. Allen is a cybersecurity executive and educator working at the intersection of AI, national security, cognitive security, and human judgment. Together, we break down why agentic AI makes accountability harder, not easier, especially when automation moves faster than organizations can assign authority.We talk through the real-world mechanics of cognitive overload and cognitive offloading at work, including how AI can accidentally create more noise by producing polished, lengthy outputs that bury the actual ask. Allen shares a simple but powerful framework for getting better results: give the system a role, clear instructions, and a knowledge base that adds context so the output fits the human-to-human decision you're actually trying to make.From there, we get into the security realities of agents that are goal-driven and “creative” in ways you didn't plan for. We unpack permission drift, social engineering risks where an agent convinces a user to do what it cannot, and why “human intent is not a control boundary.” Allen explains what governance has to exist outside the model: policy as code, agentic role mapping, monitoring at machine speed, and tiered risk so critical functions never become a rubber-stamped approval chain. If you care about AI governance, cybersecurity, CMMC pressures on small businesses, and keeping humans meaningfully accountable, this one is for you.Subscribe for more conversations on leadership and technology, share this with a friend building with AI, and leave a review with your biggest question about decision authority in the age of agents.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Send us Fan MailAI isn't just a faster tool, and it isn't only a threat to job security. The real shockwave is what AI can reveal about how work actually gets done, especially the unwritten rules, side conversations, and invisible decisions that never make it into process docs.We talk with technologist, author, and speaker David Dean about the future of work in an AI-driven world through a practical lens he calls business AI realism. David explains why AI acts like a mirror inside organizations, creating organizational self-awareness by connecting to everyday systems like email, chat, meeting transcripts, and document collaboration. He calls the inbox a behavioral record, a place where the written contract of official policy collides with the unwritten contract that actually moves work forward. Once you can see that hidden layer, you can finally understand why approvals drag, where bottlenecks really live, and what behaviors are quietly shaping outcomes.That kind of visibility can also create tension. We unpack why leaders may feel uncomfortable when patterns become measurable, how “insight vs surveillance” becomes a real governance question, and why AI strategy is as much about behavior and intent as it is about technology. We also get personal about what makes humans valuable, from lived experience to lived consequence, and how the best AI story is using these tools to give people breathing room to think, decide, and lead.If you're navigating AI at work as a leader or an individual contributor, this conversation will help you ask better questions and make smarter choices.

In this episode of Pixelated Playgrounds, Clint and Bryan are strapping in for their first mission with the world's most famous spy, tackling IO Interactive's origin story reboot, 007: First Light. Developed and published by IO Interactive, the studio best known for the modern Hitman trilogy, First Light rewinds Bond's story to age 26, when he's still a hotheaded Royal Navy recruit, voiced and performed by newcomer Patrick Gibson. We were curious to see how much of the Hitman DNA would carry over, and the answer turned out to be a lot, in the best way: sprawling, densely detailed levels built for multiple approaches, whether players want to talk, sneak, or shoot their way through.Where the game really won us over was in the smaller character beats between the big set pieces, the training compounds, the casinos, the rooftop chases, all of it stitched together by a Bond who's still learning what kind of spy he wants to become. It's not a flawless espionage thriller, and we get into where the pacing and mechanics stumble a bit, but as a reintroduction of 007 to games after a long absence, First Light earns its number. We also talk about what a sequel could build on if IOI gets another shot at Bond.Three Word Reviews:Clint - A New TrickBryan - Bond Is Back

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Tropidelic drummer Rex Larkman to talk about the band's new album, First Light, and the musical evolution behind it. Rex joined the Cleveland group in 2018, bringing the intensity of his punk and metal background into Tropidelic's blend of reggae, rock, ska, funk, and hip-hop.We dig into Rex's growth as a drummer—from wanting to play everything to recognizing the beauty and difficulty of playing exactly what a song needs. He explains why pocket, restraint, and a strong connection with the bass player matter so much in rhythm-driven music, and why listeners often move more when the drummer leaves space.Rex also takes us inside the making of First Light. Ideas emerged at soundchecks and on the road before being developed with producer Craig Broadhead in Cleveland. Live performances, programmed beats, layered snares, keyboards, and studio experimentation all became part of an album in which every song was allowed to find its own sound.We talk about the danger of quantizing the life out of a drum performance and the importance of allowing music to breathe. Rex describes how Tropidelic transforms its studio recordings for the stage by changing tempos, rearranging sections, adding horn solos, and adjusting set lists from one night to the next.We also discuss Tropidelic's touring community, the band's Everwild festival, and the positive message running through the new music. For Rex, the goal is straightforward: work hard, connect with the audience, support the people around you, and give every room a high-energy show that still feels human.Key TakeawaysRex joined Tropidelic in 2018 after becoming part of Cleveland's local punk and independent music community.His early influences included classic rock, Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, punk, metal, ska, Sublime, Streetlight Manifesto, and Less Than Jake.Playing with Tropidelic taught Rex that restraint can be more challenging—and more musical—than filling every available space.Much of First Light began with short ideas created at soundchecks and developed later with producer Craig Broadhead.The album combines live drums, programmed elements, layered snare sounds, keyboards, effects, and production created in several locations.Rex believes precise editing can remove the natural movement from a performance; everything should feel in time without necessarily sitting perfectly on a grid.Tropidelic regularly reshapes its songs for the stage, changing tempos, shortening arrangements, adding solos, and responding to each audience.Music from the EpisodeSignals - TropidelicAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about music, the people who make it, and the experiences that shape their creative lives.

Send us Fan MailAI automation is everywhere right now, but most of what people see online is the easy part: a slick demo, a chatbot, a promise that one person can suddenly do the work of five. We get real about what happens after the hype, when you try to put agentic AI into production and it has to run every day on real data, real customers, and real consequences.Grant McGaugh sits down with Navin, a longtime IT and workflow automation builder who helps small business owners design reliable AI agents, configure tools, and connect messy systems into clean business process automation. We unpack why the biggest challenge is not “which AI tool should I buy” but “what problem am I solving.” From financial reporting workflows to e-commerce operations, we show how to map the steps, define the inputs and outputs, and build an AI roadmap that actually improves speed, communication, scale, memory, and pattern recognition inside your company.We also dig into AI governance and validation, because probabilistic AI outputs still need domain expertise, especially when accuracy matters. Then we shift into what is changing in marketing and discovery: SEO is no longer the only game in town. With Artificial Engine Optimization (AEO), people ask AI for answers, and businesses need to understand how they show up and how to audit what these systems return. If you want AI to save time without creating new chaos, this is the playbook to start with. Subscribe, share this with a founder who is overwhelmed by AI tools, and leave a review with the workflow you want to automate next.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Anyone who's ever searched for a deer knows the feeling. You replay the shot, follow every sign, and keep going because you know what you're searching for is valuable. This week, Chuck uses that pursuit to remind us of an even greater treasure. The things we chase in this world will eventually fade, but a relationship with the Lord is worth seeking above everything else. Just like a determined hunter doesn't quit looking, we shouldn't stop pursuing Christ. The greatest treasure you'll ever find isn't hidden in the woods—it's found in Him. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." — Matthew 6:21

Weeds have a way of showing up where they aren't wanted. If they're left alone, they slowly take over and choke out the things meant to grow. In this episode of First Light, Chuck shares how the same can happen in our lives when we allow distractions, bitterness, worry, or sin to take root. The good news is that the Lord doesn't leave us there. Through His grace, He helps us pull those weeds before they become what defines us. Stay rooted in Him, keep your eyes on His purpose, and don't get stuck in what was never meant to hold you back. Scripture: Matthew 13:22  "As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful."

Send us Fan MailThe life looks impressive, the resume is stacked, and yet something feels off. That tension is exactly where this conversation with Tiffany Lauren Jones begins and it quickly turns into a deeper look at why so many high-achieving women feel burned out, unfulfilled, or trapped inside a version of success that no longer fits. Tiffany shares her path from a dream corporate role to a full reset, and she gives language to a pattern we don't talk about enough: building a performance identity to survive and achieve, then realizing it can't carry you into your next chapter.We dig into what Tiffany calls the identity evolution era, where collapsing trust in institutions, mass layoffs, and cultural change force a new question: who are you without the title, the degree, the grind, or the approval? We talk sovereignty versus validation, why emotional signals are real data, and how reflection portals like layoffs, divorce, or major loss can push you toward truth if you don't numb out. Tiffany also breaks down a practical entry point: permission to not be okay, plus time off with no agenda so you can actually hear yourself again.We also connect the dots to artificial intelligence and the shift from the information age to the intelligence age. AI can amplify output, but it also raises the stakes on authenticity, lived experience, and intellectual property. We explore how to build an identity ecosystem around your gifts and values, and why rest, seasonal cycles, and “beginner” practices like pottery can retrain your nervous system away from perfection and performance.If this resonates, subscribe, share this with a high achiever who needs it, and leave a review telling us what part of your identity you're ready to reclaim.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!
