As the construction industry faces a significant workforce shortage projected to surpass half a million workers, the need to inspire and educate the next generation about the value of construction careers is more critical than ever. According to the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), the U.S. construction industry needs to attract 501,000 additional workers in 2024 to meet labor demands.

This is the second part of my recent conversation with author Thomas Hischak regarding his new book, Song Of The Season — Outstanding Broadway Songs Since 1891. In this captivating book, Hischak looks back at the history of the Broadway musical by chronicling of every New York theater season from 1891 to 2022 and then audaciously selecting one single song as the song of that particular season. To facilitate this discussion, I selected one or two songs from each decade covered in the book for us to discuss. On this music-filled episode, we begin in 1938 with “September Song” from Knickerbocker Holiday and continue with his admittedly controversial selection of “I Enjoy Being A Girl” from Flower Drum Song (1958), “Do-Re-Mi” from The Sound Of Music (1959), a mind-blowing leap of only seven years to “Aquarius” from Hair (1968), and on through “All that Jazz” from Chicago (1975), “The Lambeth Walk” from Me And My Girl (1986), the title song from Ragtime (1998), "Omar Sharif" from The Band's Visit (2017), and the title song from Some Like It Hot (2022). Thomas Hischak retired from full time teaching in New York State and now teaches theatre part-time at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, USA. He is the author of over 30 non-fiction books on theatre, film and popular music. Become a PATRON of Broadway Nation!

The legend, Joey Wiles sits in with us today! We'll talk about his time with SAHS, and how Flagler College athletics is becoming a force here, and across the nation. Don't miss this talk with one of our favorite locals.

I recently had a great chat with Dan Wolfe, an educator who has served in many roles. He is also the author of the book Becoming The Change. We had such a wonderful discussion about education, learning, constant growth, and the importance of reflection. A little about Dan: Dan grew up in Germantown, Maryland, and went to Flagler College in Saint Augustine, Florida. He has served in Pasco County, Florida for more than 25 years. During my time there he has held roles as a teacher, instructional coach, and administrator. Dan is currently an Assistant Principal at Sunray Elementary. He was selected as Pasco County's District Teacher of the Year in the 2011-2012 school year. He is currently in the Principal's Pool. For the past three years, Dan has written a blog called Becoming The Change which focuses on a different quote each day and how we can best apply it towards becoming the change through our own moral compass and the five areas in SEL. His first book, Becoming the Change came out in June 2022.  He hopes to continue writing books and inspiring others for years to come.

St. Johns County man indicted on first-degree murder charge in downtown Jacksonville shooting. Flagler College named one of the most beautiful colleges in the nation.

What about our culture actively produces lonely, angry, and isolated white men? This week we discuss the dynamic we often don't talk about - the manufacturing white supremacy, toxic masculinity, and an American-hypercapitalist image. We are joined by special guest, chaplain Bentley Stewart to explore how we can challenge the "loneliness epidemic" bred from whiteness and capitalism and work towards a world where community and equality are keys to our collective connection and healing.   Bentley Stewart and his wife live in St. Petersburg, Florida and he has two adult sons. Currently, he serves as the chaplain of St. Joseph's Children's Hospital. Previously, Bentley pastored Christian Church of Vacaville, California for four years. Before that, he worked as a chaplain for people experiencing homelessness, planted a church, managed co-curricular activities for ministers in formation with Disciples Seminary Foundation. In his decade of hospital ministry, Bentley pursued interests in pediatrics, palliative care, clinical ethics, inter-professional communication, and cultural bridging. He is ordained by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), is endorsed as a chaplain by Disciples Home Mission, and serves as one of the denomination's anti-racism trainers. Bentley holds a BA from Flagler College and an MDiv from the University of Redlands Graduate School of Theology, home of San Francisco Theological Seminary.

Listen to Nova chat with Jay Bonadio, Jr. Jay Bonn – formerly the Unsigned Artist - has been shaking up the Orlando art sign. He started as a silk-screen artist at 15, evolving to shattered glass art. He's added work with Bonsai more recently. Nova talks about meeting Jay by phone and advised him to change his identity as “The Unsigned Artist.” Nova asked Jay what his why is. He explains how he started taking things apart to see how they worked at a very young age. In college at Flagler College, he began to unlock what his why was, and overcoming dyslexia. He talks about friends recommending he put his drawings on shirts, leading to a men's graphic T-shirt company called J Bon Clothing. That would lead to silk screening on larger and larger canvases. Jay talks about KarmaLoop, and how getting on there helped him get in with numerous local retailers. He also discusses how having to be an employer as an entrepreneur impacted his relationship with his mom – who is his rock. He talks about how running a business taught him how to help other artists with creating a business around their natural talent. Nova and Jay talk about getting over being frozen by self-criticism of your own work. They also talk about selfishness and teaching, as well as mentors and mentoring. Taking the mic Jay talks about how Nova recommended that he drop the persona of “the Unsigned Artist” because of the power words gave to that. Taking that cue, he asks Nova to expand upon the notion of how words give power to creation.   What is your why?

It is an honor to have Alex Mestres as the guest on this episode. She uses her vast experience working with the deaf and hard of hearing community to talk about the importance of being present in all communication, both in what you say and in how you listen. We expose you to some content that is probably new to many of you, but that can expand and potenitally reframe the way you view communication in all of your organizations, teams, and many other settings. Using her expertise with the deaf and hard of hearing community we discuss the Servant Leadership attributes of listening, empathy, and community building. This episode will get you thinking about how much noise is in your environment that blocks good communication, what positive communication practice you put in the drawer for use later on, and how we allow others to process. One communication method will never reach everyone in our organization and it is only as we learn to communicate in a language that is authentic to all the members on our team that we truly can achieve great results. There is so many applications for the information contained in this episode if we open our ears and hearts to hear the full message.  Alex Mestres was born and raised in Miami, Florida. Out of highschool she attended Miami Dade Community College where she focused on Early Childhood Education and American Sign Language. Alex then went on to  receiv a Bachelor's Degree at Flagler College in Elementary Education and Education of the Hearing-Impaired K-12.

After a few years at the school, Alex moved onto the public school system in Miami-Dade County . After the arrival of her second son, Alex went into administration at a local early learning center. She worked within a small church school then moved on to work with the Homestead Family YMCA. She eventually led there early childhood center and camp programs. After leaving the YMCA, she continued her career in early childhood, working as a curriculum coordinator and teacher at a large church school. As her boys grew she decided to go back into public school education and became the chairperson for Miami-Dade County Public Schools Deaf and Hard of Hearing Department. She spent time working with students and teachers as well as training on best practices for the profession. After leaving the public school, Alex opened her own consulting business specifically working with charter schools on supporting the deaf and hard of hearing students in their mainstream classrooms. She also works part-time for the University of Miami Children's Hearing Program as their education specialist. Her role is to counsel families on navigating their educational options when they have a child diagnosed with hearing loss.

Dr. Narco Longo, the mind behind Old World Florida on Youtube, joins me for a discussion about how his discovery began in his home state, piecing together the overlooked evidence that shows the legendary Atlantis may have existed in what is now Florida. we started with John Saxer and the numerous Stone Anchors he has cataloged around Tarpan Springs, FL. We discussed other evidences for supporting theories that show remnants of European, and Moorish cultures being present in the "New World" centuries before Columbus, like the Windover Farm Bog people, The Underwater graves off the coast of the Manisota Key, near Venice FL. Longo shared research showing a phonetic connection between these cultures considered unrelated by the mainstream, as well as the odd similarities between several tribes in North America with Muscovites of Russia, ie St. Petersburg. Finally we learned about St. Augustine's amazing architecture, Flagler College, once the Ponce De Leon Hotel in particular is a "Modern" Megalith and cast out of Coquina Stone, which could have been poured in place like cement.

Dr. Justin Capes, Ph.D., teaches Philosophy at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, and has for a long time pondered questions about Free Will from every conceivable angle. Here, Dr. Capes dialogues with us about the field of metaphysics within contemporary philosophy, and specifically, the metaphysics of the human person and of human agency. Commonsensically, this brings up questions about moral responsibility and free will, namely, what is Free Will ? Given a correct definition, do we have Free Will ? How is Free Will properly and accurately defined ? Even asking these questions seems to presuppose that we have it, because otherwise we wouldn't freely ponder such things in the first place. If we are freely pondering, what are we doing ? (Can one ponder unfreely ?) Is there a point to asking such questions ? And could we do (or have done) otherwise ? Does that matter ? Why ? Justin takes us through some thorny issues in neuroscience and philosophy, trying to move the ball forward in coming to terms with what Free Will is, and what difference it makes to understand this and to be able to articulate it well. These discussions also help us to try our hand at these questions if for no other reason than to realize just how hard some of these issues are to master well, as well as how inescapable they are if you're paying attention. The Republican Professor is a pro-coming-to-terms-with-basic-metaphysics, pro-hearing-philosophers-speak-to-scientists, pro-free-will-understood-well, pro-getting-precursors-to-moral-responsibility-right podcast. Therefore, welcome Dr. Justin Capes, Ph.D., of Flagler College in Florida. The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D., who couldn't help but do this episode. He couldn't not do it. Share this episode with a friend if it's interesting to you. If not, you'll share it anyway if you don't have free will because you were just destined to do so.

Alex travels to the Sunshine State to discover the story of Henry Flagler, the Cleveland native, known as "the Father of Modern Florida." We analyze Flagler's career at Standard Oil and his close relationship with John D. Rockefeller during their years building the oil giant in Cleveland, Ohio. We follow Flagler's second act as a railroad tycoon and developer in cities like St. Augustine, Palm Beach and Miami. The Florida that Flagler builds during the 1920s grows exponentially. But the economic boom goes bust and perhaps even sparks the Great Depression. Kevin Callahan, trustee from the Western Reserve Historical Society, rejoins the show to share Henry Flagler's rise from failed businessman to one of the co-founder's of Standard Oil. The oil company, which started in Cleveland, with Rockefeller and Flagler becomes one of the most successful and despised companies in American history. We follow Flagler's journey south to Florida in the 1880s, Leslee Keys from Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida shares the history of the Ancient City and Flagler's landmark resort the Hotel Ponce de Leon. Professor Keys discusses the new empire that Henry Flagler begins to behind along Florida's Atlantic Coast. Check out Leslee's book, Hotel Ponce de Leon: The Rise, Fall and Rebirth of Flagler's Gilded Age Palace. https://upf.com/book.asp?id=9780813061498 Finally, we sit down with Dr. Paul George from the History Miami Museum and discuss the Roaring Twenties in Florida. Dr. George outlines Henry Flagler's final achievement, the Key West Extension of the Florida East Coast Railroad, completed in 1912. We discuss the historic Florida real estate boom of the 1920s that transforms the state to the hot new destination for America's fortune seekers. We meet the incomparable developer of Miami Beach, Carl Fisher as his rise and fall mirror that of the entire state in the 1920s. Lastly, we ponder the role of the Sunshine State in two of America's most infamous financial crises, the Great Depression and the Great Recession of 2008.
