Big Fat Five: A Podcast Financially Supported by Big Fat Snare Drum
Welcome back to The Drum Panel with me, Ben Hilzinger, alongside Eric Urrea and Kris Mazzarisi. We cover a lot of ground today, but most of our conversation centers around image—what it means, how it evolves, and why it matters. It's a loaded topic that hits everyone differently, but we do our best to share honest takes from our experiences as working musicians. Think of it as equal parts peer therapy and real-world advice for drummers coming up in the scene. - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming. This is another installment of Big Fat Five—the series where I sit down with my favorite drummers and ask them to break down the five records that shaped how they approach the kit. Lately I've been fortunate to have guests who've already appeared in other drummers' Big Fat Fives, and today's guest is one of them: Terry Silverlight. Terry's career is so deep and wide-ranging that I almost don't even want to start listing artists. His discography is massive — you can check it out on his website HERE and he's still extremely active today. He was already recording at 14 on his brother Barry Miles' record, and he hasn't slowed down since. Along the way he's worked with everyone from George Benson to Roberta Flack to Natalie Merchant, just to name a few. This episode doesn't veer from the Big Fat Five format, but Terry interleaves the records that shaped him with the way music has been ingrained in his life from day one. I mention this at the top of our chat, but it's worth saying again here — the through-line of music in Terry's story is undeniable. Toward the end, I also ask him about a session that came up in Aaron Steele's episode a while back, when Aaron brought up Terry's work with the band Change. If you haven't heard that one, go back and check it out — Aaron's a young legend in his own right. - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

“We're only limited by what we can imagine.” In this episode, Michael Dargie chats with Rachael Leventhal Garnett, an AI consultant, trainer, and all-around creative force based in Fort Worth, Texas. Her story weaves together resilience, reinvention, and curiosity—qualities that shine through every chapter of her life. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Rachael opens up about her entrepreneurial journey, from running a successful estate sales business to being sidelined by Lyme disease, only to reinvent herself multiple times through upholstery, nonprofit work, and eventually finding her place in the AI space. What started with experimenting in MidJourney in 2022 quickly grew into a full-blown career helping nonprofits, municipalities, and foundations harness AI for real-world impact . Her projects range from developing AI-driven literacy data tools for unhoused populations, to building educational systems for dementia care organizations, to creating Spanish-language resources that empower caregivers . She also shares her role in shaping curriculum for city-wide AI training programs—no small feat considering she's writing and delivering more than 21 hours of material . The conversation isn't all business, though. Rachael shares stories about her love of cats (including a daring kitten rescue that left a hole in her living room wall), her travel dreams, her favourite guilty-pleasure snacks, and her belief that “everything just turns out OK.” She also speaks candidly about what excites her most in AI, how she advises “rebels in waiting” to start small and shut out the hype, and why ancient history and cosmic energy continue to inspire her outlook on life . It's a lively, layered conversation that touches on technology, creativity, compassion, and the quirky joys that make us human. Quoteable Quotes “We're only limited by what we can imagine.” — Rachael Leventhal Garnett “Everything just turns out OK. We're all just people doing our best.” — Rachael Leventhal Garnett “I've really got into vibe coding lately… it's such a great way to build tech these days.” — Michael Dargie “Close out the hype.

“Without research you don't start the engine of your mind, your body, your action.” In this episode, Michael Dargie welcomes Jacopo Iasiello, an international real estate investor, entrepreneur, and author of Healthy, Rich, and Happy. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Born in Naples, Jacopo began life with a dream of becoming a professional soccer player. When injury cut that career short, he pivoted into entrepreneurship—launching jewellery shops, scaling multimillion-dollar companies, and eventually becoming a real estate investor across Italy, Dubai, and Miami . Jacopo shares how he built his success without experience, money, or connections, and how those challenges shaped his philosophy of growth. By 28, he had already achieved financial wealth, but he realised material success wasn't enough. That's when he developed his “Four Pillars”—research, growth, action, and contribution—as guiding principles for living with purpose. He opens up about journaling daily, the importance of gratitude, and why travel is essential for expanding one's perspective. His reflections on abundance, both internal and external, bring depth to his outlook on business and life. For Jacopo, wealth is not about accumulation, but about creating value for others—whether that's through real estate that nourishes the senses, or by supporting charitable initiatives like Hermano de la Calle in Miami . This conversation explores the balance between ambition and mindfulness, success and contribution, and how to build a life that is not only profitable but also meaningful. Whether you're just starting out or already on your entrepreneurial path, Jacopo's story is proof that clarity and consistent action can transform any beginning into something remarkable. Quoteable Quotes “Without research you don't start the engine of your mind, your body, your action.” — Jacopo Iasiello “If you don't have time to journal, you don't have time to improve your life.” — Jacopo Iasiello “When your bank account becomes bigger, you don't think about only yourself. You spread it out to your community.” — Jacopo Iasiello “I think when people plug in and hear a story like yours, they're going to have an aha moment.” — Michael Dargie Episode Highlights Starting From Zero | Jacopo explains how he launched his first business without money or experience.

“You have a moral duty to yourself to go after the thing—even if you have to go alone at first.” In this episode, writer and blogger Alex Joonto joins from the border of Spain and Portugal, where he's about to move into a new countryside home. He shares how writing has always been both his calling and his rebellion—leaving university against the advice of his family, diving into technical writing, and now pursuing life as a full-time author. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In this episode Alex talks about experimenting with AI by creating a parody of Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life. He asked ChatGPT to generate its own rules, resulting in surprising gems like, “Never ask a cat for financial advice.” The process showed him that while AI is a useful tool, what gives writing its true value is the human effort, vulnerability, and even suffering poured into it. He also discusses his debut book, Thank You President Corona, written in the heart of the pandemic. Instead of despair, Alex found growth—embracing fitness, therapy, and journalling while reframing adversity as opportunity. He shares his belief that even in the darkest times, silver linings can be found. This conversation weaves through his love of journalling as daily practice, thoughts on Medium vs. Substack, his favourite typeface (Verdana), and the family lasagna secret of adding nutmeg to the sauce. His advice for rebels-in-waiting is bold and simple: expect resistance, especially from those closest to you, but pursue your dream anyway. You have a moral duty to yourself to walk the difficult path. Quoteable Quotes “Never ask a cat for financial advice.” — Alex Joonto “A piece of art is as valuable as the suffering the artist puts in it.” — Alex Joonto “You have a moral duty to yourself to go after the thing—even if you have to go alone at first.” — Alex Joonto “It just made the vein on my head pulse a little… a wasted opportunity to actually say something that matters.” — Michael Dargie “Life can be a big joke—you don't need to take yourself so seriously all the time.” — Alex Joonto Episode Highlights Portugal vs. Spain | Why Alex calls Portugal home but keeps returning to Spain.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming. This is another installment of Big Fat Five—the series where I sit down with my favorite drummers and ask them to break down the five records that shaped how they approach the kit. This week, I'm joined by the legendary Calvin Rodgers. His playing has helped define modern gospel drumming through his work with Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, and John P. Kee. And speaking of John P. Kee—Calvin's performance on "Rain On Us" has come up again and again in other drummers' Big Fat Fives. I had to ask him about it, and his story doesn't disappoint. - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!
“Your brain is not fixed. It's as trainable as your body.” In this episode, Michael Dargie welcomes George Haymaker, a neuroscience educator and brain performance coach, who helps people understand and train their brains for lasting change. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. George's path to neuroscience wasn't straightforward—he began in food and beverage, running restaurants and eventually becoming a serial entrepreneur. But at the age of 52, addiction nearly ended his life. Fifty pain pills and two bottles of vodka a day left him in rehab, questioning if change was even possible . That turning point became the start of a new chapter. George dove into psychology, spirituality, and ultimately neuroscience, where he discovered how deeply malleable the brain truly is. He now works to share that knowledge, making brain science accessible so people can rewire unhelpful patterns, shape mental activity, and reclaim their lives . George explains that brain change doesn't happen through hacks or shortcuts—it takes repetition, emotional salience, and meaningful practice. He shares insights on prediction, survival instincts, and why the brain resists change, even when our current patterns are destructive. He also talks about how diet, daily structure, and simple practices can radically transform brain health . The conversation spans cooking, the lessons dogs can teach us, and George's newest venture, Brain Club—a “gym membership for your brain” where people can learn, connect, and train their mental fitness in a community setting . For rebels in waiting—those standing on the edge of change—George offers both empathy and a challenge: ask yourself if you'd be proud of the life you've lived if it ended tomorrow. If not, maybe that's enough to begin your own transformation today. Quoteable Quotes “The brain doesn't change with hacks. It changes through repetition, reward, and meaning.” — George Haymaker “Money is oxygen.” — Michael Dargie “Your brain is not fixed. It's as trainable as your body.” — George Haymaker “Even if life feels destructive, your brain resists change because it knows the past.” — George Haymaker “Would you be proud of the life you've lived if it ended tomorrow?” — George Haymaker Episode Highlights From Hotels to Entrepreneurship | George's early career in food and beverage. Hitting Bottom | Addiction, rehab, and the start of change. Discovering Neuroscience | How studying the brain became a calling. Why Change Is Hard | The brain's resistance and survival instincts. Hacks Don't Work | Why repetition and meaning drive transformation. Eating for the Brain | How George rebuilt his diet around whole foods. Finding Joy | Structure, gym time, and life with two puppies. Introducing Brain Club | A community approach to brain training. Mentorship and Empathy | Why lived experience matters in coaching. Lessons from Dogs | Forgiveness, presence, and unconditional love. Advice for Rebels in Waiting | Facing resistance and choosing change.

We're back with another installment of Big Fat Five - a segment of the show where I chat with my favorite drummers about the 5 records that shaped their approach to the instrument. This week's guest is Zach Danziger...a drummer/composer who refuses to let tradition box him in. From early days with Wayne Krantz to collaborations across jazz, fusion, film, and experimental projects, Zach has built a career that's as deep as it is unpredictable. Sometimes you click with everything a guest says…and this conversation was just that. Talking with Zach not only made me more confident in who I am as a player, but also excited to explore elements I've been neglecting. That being said, I hope you enjoy the 5 records that helped shape Zach Danziger into the player he is today. Cheers. - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!
“Biodiversity is the key to making you a lazy gardener.” In this episode, Michael Dargie sits down with landscape architect, permaculture expert, and entrepreneur Matthieu Mehuys. From a childhood on a Belgian farm to a home base in the Azores, Matthieu's story is rooted in a lifelong fascination with how tiny seeds become thriving ecosystems. His journey weaves through entrepreneurial experiments with chickens and the stock market, an Amazon rainforest adventure cut short by dengue fever, and ultimately, the creation of a global business teaching people how to garden in harmony with nature . This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Matthieu shares how gardening is more than just growing food—it's a form of sovereignty, health, and rebellion against industrialized food systems. He explains why biodiversity makes you a “lazy gardener,” how soil microbiomes mirror the human gut, and why working with nature is always more profitable than fighting against it . The conversation turns practical too: growing radishes and potatoes as first steps, tapping into community gardens, and even indoor tower farms. Matthieu also challenges common misconceptions around GMOs, gluten, and bread, contrasting modern food production with traditional practices that honour the balance of nature . Alongside gardening wisdom, Matthieu opens up about surfing, gratitude practices, and the thrill of seeing clients transform their gardens and their lives. For anyone who's ever dreamed of pulling fresh food from their backyard—or rebelling against the system by growing a potato—this episode is a reminder that small steps can lead to profound change. Quotables “Every small change you can make in your diet is going to have a big impact.” — Matthieu Mehuys “Money is oxygen.” — Michael Dargie “Biodiversity is the key to making you a lazy gardener.” — Matthieu Mehuys “Growing something of your own feels like reconnecting with the universe.” — Michael Dargie “The only people who have ever changed the world are entrepreneurs.” — Matthieu Mehuys Links From This Episode Matthieu's Garden Training: gardenofyourdreams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matthieumehuys/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulownia_la/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@valley.of.eden3 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/matthieu.mehuys LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthieu-mehuys-64b0b5111/ Free Training: gardenofyourdreams.com/free-training Real Estate & Landscaping Projects: paulownia-la.com BrandJitsu Book by Michael Dargie: brandjitsu.com The Biggest Little Farm (film): IMDb link Get Your Copy of Michael's Book: "BrandJitsu™: Move Your Brand From 'Meh' To Memorable" Indigo | Barnes & Noble | BrandJitsu.com

In his new book The One-Minute Jerk at Work, Rich Salon—better known as “Rich the HR Guy”—shines a bright light on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways toxic behaviors can creep into your office and derail your career. On this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we'll unpack these behaviors, why they matter, and what you can do about them. Have you ever had a coworker like Wesley the Weasel who constantly takes credit for your ideas, or Micromanaging Maria who micromanages every move, or Rumor Mill Roger who thrives on stirring up drama with Rumors? Rich calls them “one-minute jerks”—people who may only need sixty seconds to poison a conversation, a meeting, or even an entire workplace culture. Together, we'll explore the practical tools from his book that help you identify these jerks early and stop their behavior from taking root. But this conversation isn't just about spotting the jerks around you—it's also about a little self-reflection. Could you be number 27...the one-minute jerk without realizing it? Rich's insights go beyond finger-pointing and invite us to hold up a mirror, recognize blind spots in our own behavior, and make changes that foster trust, respect, and productivity. Whether you're a leader trying to build a stronger team, an employee navigating difficult dynamics, or simply someone who wants to work in a healthier environment, this episode will give you the strategies to create a more positive and effective workplace. Join me, Coach Jay, for this powerful and eye-opening discussion with Rich Salon—because the jerk at work doesn't have to win. Rich Salon's book, "The One-Minute Jerk at Work" is a fun, fast, educational read that you will take with you to work immediately. You will be diagnosing your co-workers and wondering why they became a "Micromanaging Maria" or a "Pessimist Pete" and how they are disrupting the workplace. The next question is "what can I do about it?" Rich offers suggestions there too. The book also comes with self-reflecting questions that you need to ask yourself. The fact is we all lack self-awareness and Rich Salon wants to make sure that you are also taking a close look at yourself because while there are 26 mentioned in the book you may be number 27. Insightful, enjoyable and well written, The One-minute Jerk at Work will be a fun read to explore and do some critical self-analysis so you avoid being a "Jerk at Work" yourself.

This Drum Panel brings together Brendan Buckley—drummer for Shakira, Perry Farrell, Morrissey, and more—and one of my closest friends, Gunnar Olsen of Puscifer, Mother Feather, Big Data, and ME to chat about... ...the difference between what works in the practice room and what works in an arena, charting versus memorizing, and how to respect the composition before making it your own.

Hello ShopTalkers, it's Dr. Dawn, Today's episode is going to be a little personal. I want to talk about a sneaky little emotion that can derail our success faster than we realize - I'm talking about guilt. Specifically, the kind of guilt that creeps in when things are actually going well. This may sound a little cray cray, but I know this one well—because I've been living it. Many of you know that I lost my mom not too long ago. My mom struggled with her weight for most of her life. And here's where my guilt started to creep in. Before Mom passed, I had been open about my own health journey. When I turned 40, my weight started fluctuating like crazy. After checking my hormones and finding nothing to blame, I turned to intermittent fasting—and it worked. I lost 31 pounds. Now, I'm only 5'1” on a good day, so that kind of loss was huge. I went from a size 12 Petite to a size 4 Petite, sometimes even a size 2. I felt like myself again—confident, strong, and proud. But when Mom passed, I couldn't help but feel this pang of guilt. Here I was, achieving something relatively easily that my mother struggled with for decades. I knew—in my head—that as my mom, she would want me to be healthy, to thrive, to avoid the battles she faced. But my heart didn't want to hear it. I coped by self-sabotaging and gaining back some of the weight. But because of my training, I knew that I could celebrate a big win here because I didn't gain all the weight back and then some - I instead gained about half, which I again am going to celebrate because it shows me that I have successfully broken that pattern.Now, your guilt may not be the same as mine - maybe you feel guilty for making more money than your friends or loved ones. Maybe you feel guilty for getting a promotion when your friend got laid off, or guilty for taking a vacation when your team is swamped. Whatever form it takes, the good news is you can break free from it. Today, I'm sharing 3 concrete steps to stop letting guilt block your succes plus 1 bonus goal to really seal the deal!Step 1: Set Bodacious and Fabulous Goals Step 2: Create a Concrete, Bite-Sized PlanStep 3: Find an Accountability PartnerTune in to get all the details on these 3 steps PLUS your Bonus Goal!And here's your Call to Action: I would love for you to be part of my accountability team of support. So here's my challenge to you: If guilt has been holding you back, post below what you're going to work on so we can take this journey together. I'll be cheering for you, and I hope you'll cheer for me, too. NEW HERE? DO THESE THINGS FIRST! 1. CHECK OUT our other Podcast Episodes! https://www.youtube.com/@drdawnshoptalk/podcasts 2.

Oftentimes, we think our identity is something we create, but in today's episode Fr. Gregory Pine shows us that our identity is found in Christ, present in the Eucharist. Get Your Copy of his “Your Eucharistic Identity” here: https://ignatius.com/your-eucharistic-identity-yeip/ Fr. Gregory Pine is a well-known priest, Dominican, philosopher, and YouTuber, and today we are so grateful to introduce his new book, “Your Eucharistic Identity.” Andrew Petiprin joins Fr. Pine to discuss what it means to find our identity in the Eucharist. They reflect on the mystery of the Eucharist and even its “weirdness” to the extent that a real substantial change is brought about without any visible change. Fr. Pine articulates a proper understanding of transubstantiation and clarifies how we find our uniqueness and belonging in the Body of Christ.

In this week's Words & Numbers, Ant and James tackle the misunderstood world of corporate stock buybacks—are they economic malpractice or just savvy business? The duo then pivots to publicly funded media, taking aim at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and questioning its continued reliance on taxpayer dollars in an age of abundant private alternatives. They also examine the federal government's rare (and tiny) budget surplus in June, dissecting whether it's a meaningful trend or a statistical blip. Along the way, Steve Miller cancels his tour for baffling reasons, Trump forgets he appointed Powell, and the guys reflect on why government tax revenue stubbornly sticks to 18% of GDP—no matter the policy. As always, they ask: what's the data say, and so what?

In this episode, we explore how young coaches—especially those close in age to their athletes—can be powerful assets in any program.From connecting over shared life experiences like academics, mental health, and social media to leading by example through maturity, young coaches have the ability to care, communicate, and empower like few others can.Whether you're coaching your former teammates or stepping into a staff role for the first time, this episode reminds you that you don't have to wait years to make a difference—you just have to show up with intention.
Why don't coaches get player development? And is that… our fault?In this episode, I take a raw and honest look at one of the biggest disconnects in athletics: the gap between player development and coaching. While other departments speak clearly about their contributions—coaches talk wins, academics talk GPAs, nutrition talks health—player development is often left in the shadows.I dive into:Why the value of player development isn't obvious (and why that's a problem)The three steps we must take to clearly communicate our impactHow to translate our work into metrics, stories, and language coaches understandAnd why our silence is costing us influence and respectThis episode is adapted from my latest LinkedIn newsletter and is a must-listen for any current or aspiring player development professional ready to elevate their voice and claim their seat at the table.Get Your Copy of the BOOK - The Player Development Guide: https://amzn.to/4ju6ov3Player Development Newsletter: https://beyondthefield.substack.com/ Player Development Plan Course: https://btfplayerdevelopmentcourses.thinkific.com/courses/player-development-plan-beginnersAbout Ed Jones IIFounder | Educator | Culture Builder | Voice of the Player Development MovementEd Jones II is a nationally respected authority in player development—known not just for what he does, but for how he builds people.

I've been keeping a secret… well actually, 71 secrets! And today on the podcast, I'm finally spilling it. In this episode of Creatives on Fire, I'm officially announcing the launch of my brand new book: Creatives on Fire: 71 Secrets to Making Money Online If you've ever wondered how so many creative entrepreneurs are building real income streams online — and wished someone would just break it all down for you — this book is exactly what I wish I had when I started. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode201 Why I Wrote This Book When I first jumped into the online space, like many of you, I started on social media without really understanding how to monetize my efforts. I created content, went live, posted on Facebook… but didn't fully grasp how many different ways there were to actually make money online. Through years of trial and error, courses, conferences, masterminds, and interviews on this very podcast, I've gathered real-world insights from some of the smartest, most successful creatives in the industry. The problem? All those golden nuggets from podcast interviews often get lost in the shuffle. So I decided to turn all of that wisdom into a one-stop resource: a book you can reference again and again, with real stories, tactical strategies, and simple action steps you can take right away. What's Inside the Book 71 Secrets to Making Money Online — covering multiple income streams and business models 10 full chapters packed with expert advice Action steps at the end of each chapter to help you implement what you learn 17 Bonus Secrets focused on mindset and staying mentally strong as you build your business A full resource guide with tools for content creation, time management, email marketing, AI, and more A “Next Steps” section to help you choose the right path forward for YOUR business Frequently Asked Questions answered — from staying consistent to knowing when you're ready to expand your offers This is not a book you'll read once and put on the shelf — it's meant to be your go-to playbook as you grow your creative business. What the Experts Are Saying Some of my favorite online experts who contributed to this book have already shared their feedback:
