Watch FORWARD THINKING (2025) NowI'm not sure if the pod has ever gotten a bigger honor than what Antonio Harper & Abby Burton gave it in this episode — sure, they said, listeners can watch our short, currently on its festival run. FORWARD THINKING (2025) is a “surreal short film about a young black man who is attempting to trademark his likeness in the event that he's murdered by the police.” And to me, that sells it short. It's a film about race that goes further than any other film I've seen in a way that makes you think about what you saw so much you'll watch it again, all to make you smile once again with the amazing closing scene. Go watch FORWARD THINKING, go watch it again, and come back and hear this fantastic conversation with an epic filmmaking duo from Cleveland. In this episode, we talk abouthow they got started in filmmaking;what they would recommend in regards to working as a team;the ideas that motivated FORWARD THINKING (2025);How the film goes further than usual on the topic of race — was there pushback for being so bold?;the amazing music for the film — the Cleveland connection got it from Chip Tha Ripper;the importance of a final shot in a short film;how to discuss race, disability, gender in filmmaking and finding the balance in between highlighting and ignoring those areas;the Black ecosystem of film and whether it's represented well in the larger film festival/independent film scene;the advantages of subtlety and how it allows filmmakers to go further than if they were blatantly talking about a topic;The amazingness of Cleveland for independent film;what's next for them — Abby saves them for giving away important information!Abby's Indie Film Highlight: TALK (2025) dir. by Jessica Perlman; RENEGADES - Judy-Lynn del Rey dir. by Jeremy HsingMemorable Quotes:“Don't be a Dwayne. Practice cultural appreciation, not cultural appropriation.”“ Do I see myself wanting to get up at 4:00 AM to run suicides or get up at 4:00 AM for a call?”“The music just ended up being that Cleveland luck”“ Disability and disabled filmmakers are just that, they're just more filmmakers and they need to have their stories told. They need to have the opportunity to show what they can do. And, yes, it's a very vulnerable thing to come out and talk about it when it's not as accepted in the industry.”The approach to race “ should be a lot like what Abby and I did with FORWARD THINKING” “What I would hope to see is, especially in the in industry, is just having more people of color and underrepresented actors in roles that aren't necessarily traditionally tailored for that group.”Links:Follow Abby On InstagramFollow Antonio On InstagramSubscribe To West 10G Productions On YouTubeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

The Holler hangs out with Patrick Newton, Chair of the North Carolina Forward Party, to dive into the role of third parties in American democracy.

Patrick also shares why putting data above ideology is crucial for building effective policies and moving beyond partisan gridlock. Whether you're skeptical of third parties or searching for new political pathways, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at what “moving forward” might really mean.

I'm excited to be joined by Terrell Miller, co-founder of Cattlesoft and the force behind CattleMax, one of the most trusted software platforms in the cattle industry. What started as a student project between him and his wife in 1999 has grown into a suite of rancher-focused tools used across the country and internationally.  In this episode, Terrell shares the humble beginnings of CattleMax, how he mailed out software CDs before laptops were common, and what it's taken to earn the trust of ranchers over 25+ years. We dive into how smartphone adoption shifted the ag tech landscape, where AI is headed in the livestock industry, and why genomic testing is becoming a game-changer for commercial producers. We also talk about the entire Cattlesoft ecosystem: CattleTags, CattleScales, CattleDNA, and the popular Ranching.com newsletter, and why they've remained committed to customer choice, compatibility, and helping producers manage records their way. Terrell's down-to-earth leadership style, combined with his passion for technology and cattle, makes this a conversation full of insight and inspiration.

In this episode of PivotMe, April gets real about the power of the stories we tell ourselves—and how retelling old hurts is keeping us stuck. Whether it's a bad business deal, a job you didn't get, or a personal betrayal, continuously rehashing that pain gives it more power than it deserves.

Oliver McTernan, Director of Forward Thinking, discusses the situation in Gaza after Hamas announced its intention to postpone the release of Israeli hostages.

Donald Trump's attempt earlier this week to freeze all federal aid triggered chaos and confusion. As with many of the president's actions so far, it's unclear whether he even had the executive authority to make such an order. Today, the order was abruptly rescinded. But what does this tell us about Trump's strategy? Democratic Senator from Maryland Chris Van Hollen sits on the Appropriations Committee, and joins Christiane from Washington to discuss.   Also on today's show: Oliver McTernan, Co-Founder and Director, Forward Thinking; Chris Whipple, Author, "The Gatekeepers"   Learn more about your ad choices.

Thanks for listening in on another episode of the Forward Thinking podcast where Sher Downing and Ben Bressington explore the transformative power of AI and automation in business. Together, they dive into the importance of starting automation processes even when they are not perfect, the significance of timely communication, and how to leverage AI for content creation and repurposing. We dig a bit deeper and uncover the need for businesses, especially startups, to define their goals and ROI, and to rethink roles in the age of AI. Ben shares insights on how to automate boring tasks and the potential for AI to enhance productivity and efficiency in various business operations. Takeaways: Start before you feel ready to embrace automation. Automation doesn't have to be perfect; it can evolve over time. A simple landing page can drive significant sales. Focus on results, not aesthetics, for your website. Regularly assess and eliminate unnecessary tasks. AI can redefine roles and responsibilities in businesses. Startups should leverage AI to maximize efficiency. Content repurposing can significantly enhance visibility. Timely communication is crucial for client relationships. AI can help automate tedious tasks, freeing up valuable time.

These insights come to life vividly in a conversation between Dealer Synergy's LA Williams and Kristen Campbell from Motway, highlighting the industry's current dynamics and future directions. As automotive professionals, ranging from salespersons to managers, gear up for 2025, understanding and applying these lessons could define their success. Let's dive into the core themes that emerged in their discussion and explore how they can impact your automotive journey.   Embracing Adaptability in the Automotive Industry Adaptability has long been a cornerstone of success in any business, but in the fast-paced and ever-changing automotive industry, it's non-negotiable. LA Williams sets the tone by emphasizing, "Sometimes you got to get the job done anyway," underscoring the necessity of forging ahead despite imperfect conditions. The conversation with Kristen Campbell, Vice President of Account Services at Motway, also echoes this sentiment. Kristen, with her rich experience in public relations, illustrates how she navigated her career trajectory during challenging economic times. As she notes, the automotive industry demands resilience: "You got to show up every day ready to work, and you got to have that energy." This mindset not only helped her rise to a leadership position but also drives Motway's success in a competitive market. For automotive professionals, embracing adaptability means being open to new strategies, technologies, and market trends. As Motway demonstrated, growth often comes from a willingness to evolve and innovate in response to market demands.   The Power of Transparent Communication Communication remains an integral part of customer relations in the automotive industry. The transcript highlights this importance through Kristen's dedication to ensuring Motway's client interactions are both transparent and trustworthy. She shares, "One of the things that I think I was able to bring to the table was just really the communication piece…ultimately you're an advocate for them, [the customer]." Transparent communication not only builds trust but also fosters long-term partnerships. Kristen reinforced that effective communication can mitigate challenges, such as managing vehicle transportation issues—or as she simply puts it, "We try again to do what would be best for them." For automotive businesses, translating these insights into everyday practice means regularly engaging with customers to understand their needs and expectations. Dealerships should consider adopting a similar strategy to Motway's proactive client service approach, which includes dedicated support lines and personalized communication strategies.   Innovations and the Role of AI in Automotive Solutions As we steer into the future, incorporating advanced technologies like AI can distinguish leading companies from the rest. The dialogue between Williams and Campbell touches on Motway's exploration into AI solutions, particularly in optimizing transportation logistics and pricing strategies. Though Kristen mentions, "I wouldn't say we're there yet," Motway's forward-thinking approach prepares them for future breakthroughs. Artificial intelligence, for many businesses, represents a paradigm shift. It offers unprecedented opportunities for efficiency, accuracy, and personalized customer engagement. In the automotive industry, AI's potential applications are vast—from predicting market trends to personalizing customer experiences through intelligent data analysis. By integrating such technologies, dealerships can enhance their operational efficiencies and customer service offerings. As Kristen notes, features like "lane planning and route mapping" can streamline operations, which can be a game changer for businesses looking to improve service speed and reliability. The automotive industry stands on the precipice of significant transformation. As echoed in the insightful conversation between LA Williams and Kristen Campbell, embracing adaptability, prioritizing transparent communication, and capitalizing on technological advances like AI are essential for staying competitive. Automotive professionals who embody these principles are better poised to navigate upcoming industry shifts successfully. The vehicle to future success in automotive sales involves not just anticipating change but actively driving it.
