Fantasy author Martin R. Nelson joins David Watson for a candid conversation about the brutal reality of the creative life, the deep themes in his high fantasy series "The Annals of Tessian," and the relentless struggle to get noticed in a saturated world. We dive into his new book, "The Culling of Souls," and its predecessor, "Children of the Dying Hearth," exploring the powerful ideas that fuel them. Martin breaks down how the first book is about the courage to leave your comfort zone—a theme embodied by a teenage boy who might be the heir to a lost empire, a 600-year-old elf who's still just a kid, and a noble ruler forced to get his hands dirty. The sequel, "The Culling of Souls," tackles a more internal battle: the painful but necessary act of cutting away the parts of yourself that hold you back, like a traumatic memory that no longer has to define your tomorrow. This isn't just a book talk; it's a raw look into the heart of an indie author. Martin opens up about the crushing self-doubt that comes with asking people to buy your work, the frustration of hitting a wall with gatekeepers and expensive (and sometimes useless) editorial reviews, and the overwhelming noise of 4,000+ books published every single day. He shares the "empty stadium" feeling of creating incredible work with no crowd watching, and the crucial difference between an athlete's measurable "personal best" and a creator's invisible race. But the conversation is also filled with hope and hard-won wisdom. They discuss the power of building a "body of work" and waiting for that one brick to be knocked out of the wall, as described by podcaster Dan Carlin, so the people on the other side can finally see you. Martin shares stories from the band Stereophonics about how their biggest hit was a song they almost threw away, proving that sometimes you just have to keep showing up. They also touch on the practical side of book promotion, debating the merits of targeted Amazon ads versus scattergun PR and the hilarious potential (and pitfalls) of using AI to create promotional videos. If you're a writer, artist, or anyone trying to create something meaningful, this episode is a must-watch. It's a testament to the idea that even if the stadium is empty, you have to lace up your boots and run the race anyway—because the only thing you can control is showing up for tomorrow.

There is a common assumption in the world today: how someone feels after a conversation is the best way to judge how well the conversation went. If they aren't offended, what we said was good, loving or right. But feelings were never meant to be the scoreboard. They're data, not conclusions. In this episode, I unpack why using emotional reaction as the final verdict quietly undermines honesty, clarity, and growth, and I offer better metrics for navigating hard conversations without confusing discomfort with harm or emotional safety with emotional comfort. Episode 330 of The Joe Martino Show is live.

Andrew Hancock holds a degree in journalism from Texas A&M University and is an alumnus of the Eddie Adams Workshop (2006).With a belief in diverse clients and diverse interests, he embraces new media and technology with vigor and is comfortable shooting stills or video to accomplish any visual need required from an assignment or project.Hancock began his career in photojournalism and brings that storytelling approach with him on any project, whether it is a portrait, event or commercial shoot. Every image, still or motion, must tell a story.He was a contributing photographer to Sports Illustrated magazine and his photos have appeared throughout the entire SI portfolio including SI Kids, SI Latino, SI China, SI.com and in two books, The Covers and SI Kids - All Access. Hancock's photos have also appeared in premier magazines such as TIME, People, Cosmopolitan, Stern and Golf magazine, virtually every major market newspaper within the United States; his work has also appeared on ABC News, CBS.com and CNN.com.Hancock is known for his enthusiasm to take on any challenge. This enthusiasm—paired with his low maintenance and self-sufficient approach to produce engaging photographs—has led to a rapidly expanding client base that over his young career has grown to include editorial clients like The New York Times, Associated Press and USA Today as well as event coverage for clients like NCAA Photos.On the academic front, schools such as Texas A&M University, University of Texas, Purdue University and the University of Tennessee have counted on Hancock to deliver unique and engaging imagery to elevate their visual brand for both athletics and academics across their various properties and platforms, resulting in many awards for his work.

One thing that many alumni and students will say upon reflecting on the merits of their Veritas education is: "I learned how to carry on a good conversation."It's true that the art of conversing may be dwindling in our culture. Being able to relate to others well in a variety of situations - and engage on a breath of topics - is a skill that is deeply appreciated by others, and beneficial for ourselves, too.Especially now, coming into the holidays when we find ourselves in an array of social settings with family, friends, and even strangers, being equipped with the mindset and skills for good conversation will make Christmas gatherings all the more pleasant for everyone.Our host, Head of School Ty Fischer, is joined in this episode of Veritas alumni Jesse Brooks and Dean of Students and Omnibus/Rhetoric teacher Graham Dennis to talk about what makes for a good conversation, and how we can help cultivate in ourselves and our children the desire and skill to carry on good conversation.After all, that a big part of what we're doing at Veritas – fostering students who can listen well and speak thoughtfully on topics that truly matter, and who excel at relating with one another in Christ because they've been trained regularly in talking around the table.This season of Cultivate is sponsored by Hershey Financial Advisers, a wealth management firm located at North Pointe Blvd. in Lancaster, PA, leading people to make better financial decisions and empowering them to fulfill a vision beyond themselves.

Conversación en inglés para practicar.This conversation features my friend and celebrity hairstylist / make up artist Ruben Ramos @theawakeningofstyleWe talk about the importance of feeling good about yourself and how that impacts how you act upon the world, if beauty standards are getting away from us a bit, if botox and other procedures are a "slipper slope", and more. Ruben's English isn't perfect, and throughout our conversation im helping him with small corrections to make sure we don't reinforce any incorrect structures. I hope this conversation illustrates that your English doesn't have to be perfect to be able to get your point across, and it's more about choosing your words with purpose, and speaking at a pace that feels good to you.

Mark Cornelison was a photojournalist for 30+ years before switching gears to vintage photography. Mark always took pride of his photojournalist training in that news photographers have to go into every situation and make a photo. They can't say it was too dark, or too rainy, or other excuses. Just make a good photo. Mark still hold onto that feeling as he has moved more into the vintage photography techniques. Music, Sports, and Portraits were always strong points of my portfolio and now he has learned new ways to present them. Most recently Mark have learned the art of Wet Plate Collodion photography, a process from the 1850's going back to Civil War times.

Lori Grace Bailey is a professional photographer who also enjoys chasing extreme weather and extraordinary skies. Lori was featured on CBS Sunday Morning in 2024 in a story about the science of lightning. Her work has appeared in major publications and television outlets including the 2022 Issue 3 of Cosmopolitan Magazine as well as the March/June 2021 issue of Backpacker Magazine.  Her work has been published in several books on weather and lightning. Whether chasing supercells and tornados in the Midwest, giant dust storm in the southwest, or elusive sprites when conditions are right, Lori's passionate dedication of pursuing extreme weather allows her to consistently capture vivid and evocative imagery unique to her craft.  Lori is also the director of Monsoon Con, an annual convention in Tucson, Arizona that brings together photographers and weather enthusiasts alike with an emphasis on storm chasing with success.  Lori is a lightning strike survivor after being nearly killed by a bolt in 1998 in Arizona.  Lori now hosts a podcast called “The Storm Before the Calm.” Thrill seeking adventurers, including storm chasers, extreme athletes, and weekend warriors,  who often find themselves pushing the boundaries of life , all share a collective narrative about the surprising tranquility encountered when teetering on the edge.   But many of these individuals fought the bitter battle of of profound adversities, almost losing their lives in the process.   These narratives often remain untold in favor of sensationalized  soundbites that only highlight the thrill of the chase rather than the long, unpaved roads they've traveled.  Lori believes it's time to tell the rest of their story.  Lori's podcast can be found on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, as well as a video version on her YouTube channel.

Tamara Inoue is in her 10th year at the helm of the UC Irvine women's basketball program in 2025-26. After taking over a team that had two winning seasons in 15 years, Inoue brought a renewed energy and mindset that paid off immediately. In her first year with her own recruits, the Anteaters had the second best turnaround in all of NCAA Division I. Since then, they have won a Big West tournament and regular season title, produced five 20-win campaigns and made four national postseason tournament appearances.Last season, Inoue became the all-time winningest head coach in UCI women's basketball history. She eclipsed the school record with her 159th victory on February 27. The Anteaters went on to secure their fourth-straight 20-win campaign (21-10), finished second in the Big West standings (15-5), and advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament for the fifth time in her nine seasons. For the third-straight year, UC Irvine was ranked among the top-15 in the nation in scoring defense as they finished 10th at 54.3 points allowed per game. Déja Lee and Hunter Hernandez claimed two of the six spots on the All-Big West First Team, while Summah Hanson was named the Best Sixth Player. In 2023-24, Inoue's squad won the program's second Big West Championship and first in 29 years. The ‘Eaters earned a No. 13 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and closed out the campaign with a 23-9 overall record (16-4 Big West). For the second year in a row, UCI was ranked in the final College Insider Women's Mid-Major Poll (23rd) and was among the nation's best in scoring defense (14th, 55.7 ppg). Déja Lee made history as UC Irvine's first Big West Women's Basketball Player of the Year. Moulayna Johnson Sidi Baba was also named the Big West Newcomer of the Year, while Diaba Konate was tabbed the league's Best Defensive Player.Inoue came to Irvine from New Mexico State where she was an integral member of the women's basketball staff from 2011-16. She spent her last two seasons as an associate head coach and also served as the interim Senior Woman Administrator in 2015-16.During her tenure as an associate head coach, NM State made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, while capturing the Western Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament titles both years. The Aggies ended the 2015-16 campaign with a 26-5 overall record, tying the school record for single-season victories.Inoue joined the New Mexico State staff after a three-year stint as an assistant coach at Santa Clara University. Prior to that, she spent six years playing and coaching in Australia. Inoue's professional playing career was cut short due to injury, but following rehabilitation she returned to coach in Australia's Victorian Basketball League (VBL). Inoue earned VBL Coach of the Year honors in 2006-07 with the Nunawading Spectres. She also guided the Knox Raiders to a national championship the following season with a 27-1 record.

Battleship IOWA is home to thousands of artifacts.  From the ship herself to a chair from NAGATO – the last Japanese battleship, from physical objects to digital images, all of these artifacts must be cataloged and stored.Dave Way is the ship's historian and curator. His job is find and present the collection. He is walking encyclopedias who can spout amazing episodes from the ship's storied past at will. The USS Iowa is one of the largest, most imposing forces in naval history.  Originally commissioned to support land invasions (amphibious assaults) in WWII, this devastating behemoth was also a force to be reckoned with during the Korean War.  It was decommissioned in the 50's. but then recommissioned in the 80's during the Regan administration in support of his “600 ship” navy initiative.  Finally decommissioned in the 90's, this floating fortress was turned into a museum, complete with tours!  I talked to curator David Way about the President Roosevelt almost getting hit by a torpedo, Victory the official canine mascot, and the mysterious Combat Engagement Center.

In this episode, we are joined by comedian, podcaster, and author Charlie James. We begin with an unexpected (but charming) introduction to Pamphlet, Charlie's cat, followed by Charlie's very thoughtful answer to our silly question wheel. Charlie discusses his experience transitioning while building a comedy career in the public eye and then we turn our attention to a listener-submitted voicemail asking how to respond when a child comes out to you as trans. Raimi and Charlie consider the question, “what did I need to hear?” and the group chats about leading with joy, enthusiasm, and curiosity. As always, we finish with recommendations: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur's deleted episode “The Gatekeeper” from Disney+, the Trans Youth Emergency Project, and x + y: A Mathematician's Manifesto for Rethinking Gender by Eugenia Cheng. Most importantly, make sure to check out and pre-order Charlie's new book, I'm Just A Little Guy: How to escape the horrors and get back to dillydallying, coming out fall 2025!If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with family and friends!

Robert Beck was a staff photographer for Sports Illustrated for over 30 years. Raised in California, he played and photographed “alternative sports”  long before the term “X Games” was coined. The result of shooting outside the box has given Robert the platform to shoot even the biggest “American Games” in a slightly skewed manner with a very fresh eye. 1977 UCI history alumnus has been one of the nation's premier sports photographers, a career he fell into almost accidentally while working as a middle school teacher and football coach. Robert borrowed his dad's Canon AE-1 Program camera and started shooting high school sports, selling the prints to parents and students. Beck has shot 10 Super Bowls; a half-dozen Olympics; and countless games, matches and athletic achievements, such as Wayne Gretzky's record-breaking 802nd hockey goal. He has also developed a reputation for compelling portraits. Using such props as Fruity Pebbles cereal, underwater furniture, Navy jets and a herd of sheep, he has coaxed intriguing poses out of everyone from skateboarder Tony Hawk and pitcher Madison Bumgarner to hurdler Lolo Jones and Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt.www.robertbeckphotography.com https://www.instagram.com/shoot802/

​​ What makes a great conversation?“Many of us dread small talk,” says Harvard Business School professor and author Alison Wood Brooks. Yet she believes these everyday exchanges are the gateway to deeper connection and opportunity. An expert in the science of conversation, Wood Brooks, teaches a popular course titled Talk and has spent years researching what makes a great conversation. "Big things often start with small talk," she notes. "It's not about avoiding it; it's about knowing how to use it to uncover something meaningful."In this LinkedIn Live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wood Brooks joins host Matt Abrahams to share a practical framework for mastering small talk and making it enjoyable, even for those who loathe it. Drawing from her "topic pyramid" approach, Wood Brooks breaks down how to elevate a conversation from mundane chitchat to something memorable. “Think of it as a treasure hunt,” she suggests. “Small talk is where you start looking for golden nuggets that can lead to deeper engagement.”Episode Reference Links:Alison Wood Brooks Alison's Book: TalkEp.73 Listen Up: Why It's Better to Be Interested than Interesting Ep.89 Listen, Listen, Listen: How to Build Deep Connections Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:05) - What Makes a Good Conversation?
