Welcome back to another episode of the Bourbon Road podcast! This week, Todd Ritter is holding down the fort solo while Jim Shannon escapes to warmer weather. But Todd isn't drinking alone at the Bourbon Road bar; he's joined by two fantastic returning guests to celebrate the Bottled in Bond Act. Amsey Wenning, the "Alec Baldwin of the show" from the Frankfort Bourbon Society and Bourbon on the Banks, is back, along with filmmaker Bo Cumberland, the director behind the Frankfort: The Heart of Bourbon documentary. The guys dive into a deep discussion about Bo's recent documentary work. With his Frankfort film approaching 22,000 views on YouTube, Bo shares the overwhelmingly positive response it has received. He also talks about his exciting new series, Forging a Bourbon Legacy, which explores the deep, intertwining roots of bourbon history in Anderson County. Through short-form episodes, Bo is uncovering the fascinating stories of families and figures like the Ripy family, the Bonds, Judge McBrayer, and the history behind Wild Turkey, proving that Kentucky's bourbon history is anything but simple. Amsey also shares some incredible news about the Bourbon on the Banks festival, revealing that the charity-driven event recently distributed over $100,000 to local organizations, with volunteers getting a say in where the funds go. Of course, a Bottled in Bond celebration requires some stellar 100-proof whiskeys, and the tasting mat is loaded with unique and highly anticipated pours: First up is a true dusty: 1992 Old Crow Bottled-in-Bond. This 4-year-old Japanese export delivers a classic bourbon nose with rich caramel and dark colors that defy its age. The guys marvel at its luscious mouthfeel and cherry caramel notes, finding it vastly superior to modern iterations of the brand and proving that the "good Old Crow" was truly something special. Next, Amsey brings a unique bottle to the table: Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bottled in Bond. A rare combination of terms, this 6-year-old bourbon achieves its 100 proof through a lower barrel entry proof and meticulous blending rather than adding water. The crew discovers an intriguing almond and amaretto nose, followed by a soft, fruity palate with hints of green apple, light caramel, and a sweet confectioner's sugar finish that drinks surprisingly gentle. Finally, they head south to sample the Old Dominick Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whiskey. Produced in Memphis, this expression features a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley. It undergoes the Lincoln County process and is aged in West Tennessee white oak with a heavy #4 alligator char. The result is a bold, earthy pour with notes of dark cherry, sweet pipe tobacco, and a pleasant graininess that finishes with a spicy, white pepper kick. Tune in as the guys sip through these incredible bonded whiskeys, debate the merits of short-form versus long-form storytelling, and share plenty of laughs along the way. Cheers! Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!

Episode Bio AI therapy is no longer theoretical — it's already happening. In this episode of Forging Forward, Adam interviews Grok, an AI built for conversation, to explore what happens when technology steps into the therapy room. Through real client scenarios, this episode tests how AI responds to emotional struggle, men who find it hard to open up, and moments of psychological risk — then breaks down what AI does well, what it misses, and what that means for the future of human therapy. Will AI replace therapists — or simply change how people begin the conversation?

In this episode of Forging Forward, Adam and Andy address a recent, widely discussed incident in the Bozeman community involving allegations against a therapist who also held a position of public authority. Without naming individuals or speculating on outcomes, the conversation focuses on what situations like this reveal about professional ethics, power dynamics, and the responsibility that comes with working in deeply trusting relationships. They break down why boundaries exist in therapy, how power imbalances can persist even after sessions end, and why ethical standards are designed to protect clients, clinicians, and the integrity of the profession. The episode also explores the broader community impact, including how cases like this affect public trust and how male therapists, in particular, can navigate the fallout without becoming defensive, withdrawn, or isolated. Adam and Andy discuss how male clinicians should talk with one another for support, why peer consultation matters, and whether current ethics training adequately prepares therapists for modern realities like digital communication, small-town dual roles, and blurred boundaries. The episode closes with a grounded reflection on accountability, due process, and the importance of strengthening trust through transparency, humility, and responsibility rather than fear or silence.

In Part One, Matt Thomann introduces “mettle” as a healthier definition of toughness shaped by lived experience. Matt reflects on how a cancer diagnosis and a subsequent stroke forced him to reconsider what strength really looks like. This conversation explores how growth becomes sustainable when vulnerability replaces bravado and when faith moves from something you say to something you trust.

Forging a singular path as an independent filmmaker whose minimalist, bucolic style has impressed the critics at the Berlin and Cannes film festivals, Kelly Reichardt shows us another America: a land of wondering outsiders and protagonists plagued by doubts.

Episode 130: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Adam Spiegelman, Founder and Wealth Advisor at Spiegelman Wealth Management, which offers investment and wealth management programs and services for high-net-worth clients. The company's mission is to develop enduring relationships with clients by providing professional guidance for a lifetime of financial security.  Adam talks with Kyle about what it really means to go independent and why freedom, service, and intentional scale matter more in financial services. He shares why he left large firms to build a boutique RIA, the emotional weight of the transition, and how he maintains a human-centric approach in an automated world. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:32) - Adam's money moment (03:18) - Navigating the LPL acquisition of Commonwealth (06:07) - What Adam learned after going independent (08:41) - The reality of independence (10:09) - The challenges and rewards of building a custom technology ecosystem (13:03) - What made Commonwealth technology user-friendly (17:53) - Adam's vision for Spiegelman Wealth Management (20:20) - What great service actually looks like in practice (22:31) - Adam's growth strategies (26:04) - Adam's outlook on the future of the wealth management industry (28:30) - Adam's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Freedom creates clarity, but also responsibility. Going independent removes bureaucracy but also challenges leaders to own every decision, especially in technology and operations. Great service lives in the small, thoughtful moments. Picking up the phone, anticipating confusion, and proactively helping clients through stressful situations often matter more than flashy offerings. Growth doesn't have to mean “bigger”. Staying intentionally small can be a competitive advantage when relationships, trust, and responsiveness are the core product. AI will change the work, but not remove the human role. As modeling and analysis become commoditized, judgment, empathy, and contextual thinking become even more valuable. Quotes "I talked to dozens of recruiters, firms, and advisors. And I did all this due diligence with one purpose in mind: to scare me out of wanting to go independent. And no one could scare me. I knew in my heart that this was the absolute right thing to do." ~ Adam Spiegelman "I learned a long time ago that this business is not just about lining my pockets. It's not about money and fees, it's about relationships." ~ Adam Spiegelman "People want to take more charge of their finances. Gone are the days of pension plans and the government providing all that support." ~ Adam Spiegelman Links  Adam Spiegelman on LinkedIn Spiegelman Wealth Management Fidelity Investments A Gentleman in Moscow Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Moral fatigue isn't burnout, and it's not depression. It's what happens when you're constantly trying to do the right thing in a system that never stops asking more of you. In this episode of Forging Forward, We break down moral fatigue—how it shows up in men who care deeply about their work, their families, and their values, yet feel increasingly numb, cynical, or quietly resentful. We talk about why willpower isn't the issue, why "just take a break" doesn't fix it, and how prolonged value conflict slowly drains motivation, clarity, and meaning. This is a grounded conversation about responsibility overload, ethical pressure, and what happens when your nervous system never gets permission to stand down. More importantly, we look at how to recover your internal compass without checking out, becoming bitter, or burning everything down. If you've ever thought, "I'm doing everything right, so why do I feel like this?"—this one's for you.   About the Hosts: Adam Thorne Psychology Today Profile: https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1441965 Andy Kemp Psychology Today Profile: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/andrew-andy-kemp-bozeman-mt/879276

How do you forge a nation? In conversation with Yaroslav Hrytsak, Ukraine's foremost historian.Ukraine literally means ‘borderland.' Due to its geographical location, the country has endured centuries of domination and colonialism. Putin justifies his war by claiming that Russia and Ukraine are one. In his monumental work Ukraine: The Forging of a Nation, Ukraine's leading historian Yaroslav Hrytsak presents the centuries-old and unique history of his homeland, thereby challenging the claim of a single Russian-led Slavic nation.Hrytsak's book is part of the Ukrainian History Global Initiative, a project led by Timothy Snyder aimed at correcting the long-standing suppression of Ukrainian culture and history. At De Balie, Hrytsak will discuss how a nation comes into being.Programme editor: Eloïse KasiusModerator: Yoeri AlbrechtZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Go to NapLab for the best mattress reviews In this episode of Forging Forward, Adam sits down with Derek Hales, founder of NapLab, to break down one of the most misunderstood pillars of mental health: Sleep. Sleep isn't just about feeling rested. It's about emotional regulation, decision-making, impulse control, anxiety, depression, and long-term brain health. Yet most people are guessing their way through it with caffeine, willpower, and bad advice. Derek brings a data-driven perspective from years of testing mattresses, sleep environments, and recovery variables, while Adam connects the dots between sleep deprivation and what he sees every day in therapy: heightened anxiety, low mood, poor focus, burnout, and nervous-system dysregulation. If you're working on yourself but still feel foggy, reactive, or exhausted — this episode might explain why.

“There's a huge amount of progress that comes from pitching yourself and putting information out there and having discovery calls and doing events and speaking at events and fielding questions and posting on social media and seeing what people want.”Welcome to another episode of The Speaker Lab Podcast! Today, host Grant Baldwin welcomes Shannon GaNun, a former communications professional, college professor, and now a thriving full-time speaker who's built an inspiring business around helping others communicate with purpose and confidence.In this conversation, Shannon takes us through her remarkable journey, starting from her roots in a small Wisconsin town, through her early career on Capitol Hill, and onto the classroom at Georgia Southern University. She shares how her lifelong passion for effective communication eventually led her to pitch herself, land gigs, and build programs that empower leaders at corporations and associations to strengthen their impact through better speaking skills.This episode dives deep into the realities of launching a speaking business later in life, the challenges of making a mid-career pivot, and the process of turning decades of both work and life experience into a valuable, marketable service. Shannon gets candid about overcoming imposter syndrome, learning the business side of speaking through The Speaker Lab, and tackling the not-so-glamorous parts.If you're someone who wonders if you're “special enough” to be on stage, or if you've wrestled with questions of timing, self-doubt, or financial security in pursuing your passion, you'll walk away with encouragement to start where you are, leverage your experience, and take that next step!You'll learn:Starting before you're 100% readyTransitioning from learning to pitching, discovery calls, and social media outreachRecognizing value in communication versus sharing it on stageOvercoming fears or doubts about speaking in front of groupsThe misconception that speakers need unique backgroundsSolving a specific problem for a specific audiencePackaging expertise into a sellable productAnd much, much more!“Everybody, even though we're all kind of ordinary, normal, what I consider middle class Americans, we all have a unique experience and so we can take what we have experienced and teach others.”Episode ResourcesShannon's WebsiteGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal conclusion to one of the most powerful Mike Drop episodes ever recorded, former SEAL Team operator turned master knife-maker Chris Osman (founder of Tons O' Cutlery finishes laying it all bare with host Mike Ritland. Over the course of this nearly 2-hour final segment, Chris walks us through the absolute rock-bottom moments that finally forced permanent change: the phone call that exposed his drug-fueled double life, quitting every substance cold turkey (except red wine… at first), the divorce, the brutal road-rage beatdown that ended with a full DOJ raid on his house, getting charged with assault with a deadly weapon, walking free with a clean record, and then the complete 180° life rebuild – 60 lb natural weight loss, total sobriety inspired by his now-fiancée Lisa, burning every bridge to the tactical world, and discovering knife-making as his new obsession and career. Expect zero filter, zero excuses, and a masterclass in radical personal accountability, redemption, and what it actually looks like to rebuild yourself from scratch in your late 40s/early 50s. This is the rare veteran story that doesn't end with “and then I started another tactical company.” It ends with quiet, hard-earned peace, a garage full of grinders, and some of the most beautiful handmade chef knives on the planet.
