Interview Date: August 3rd, 2025Episode Summary: Choreographer/director Lindsey Blaufarb (half of LNC Collective) maps the leap from touring dancer to Emmy-nominated creative. A military kid who moved often, she found community through arts, earned an Urban Jam scholarship, then moved to L.A. at 17 to attend Hollywood High and the EDGE program—surviving on bar-mitzvah gigs and big dreams.Lindsey unpacks early heartbreaks and lucky breaks: the Christina Milian switcheroo, saying no to Britney's Circus tour to fully pivot, and landing Avril Lavigne's record-breaking “Girlfriend” video after being invited into Avril's band. She breaks down real creative direction—styling, staging, lighting, content, team-building—and shares lessons from The Voice, Blue's Big City Adventure, and directing Pentatonix's tours.For dancers, she gives today's playbook: build a brand look, study an artist's world, post smart on Instagram, DM thoughtfully, be a great hang, and let your originality—and energy—do the talking. Mindset, resilience, and resourcefulness thread through it all.Shownotes:(0:00) – Welcome, Guest Intro, Urban Jam throwback,(9:48) – Late start, moving often, arts community(12:32) – Urban Jam scholarship leads to L.A.(13:55) – Hollywood High + EDGE, solo at 17(21:12) – Christina Milian switch; “everything happens” lesson(28:58) – Turned down Britney tour to pivot(32:31) – Avril invites band; choreographs “Girlfriend”(39:24) – Blue's Big City Adventure: feature musical(41:51) – Directing Pentatonix tours; Christmas prep(49:40) – How to stand out now: brand, energyBiography:Lindsey Blaufarb is one half of L&C Collective and an Emmy-nominated and two-time World Choreography Award-winning choreographer and director.

Today on The Cameron Journal Podcast we are joined by Justin Spencer, the founder of Chaos and Kindness and TV show and brand. We are having this conversation in his car. Right now he is on a new journey where he is buying a cheap car and driving around the United States.

This is a very special episode of The Cameron Journal Podcast and probably unlike anything we've had on before. More about Justin Spencer: He started out as a musician where he went on America's Got Talent with his band, Recycled Percussion and turned that into an award-winning show, Chaos and Kindness.

AGT, CNN, The ViewLots of Great Stuff Happening for Landau, International Travel, New Music, Family & Fatherhood! Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. first burst onto the national conscience as the Sinatra-and-Soul singing  on NBC TV's “America's Got Talent with his incredible voice, undeniable charisma and unparalleled showmanship.  And a decade later, he's still going strong.Seeing Landau in concert is a revelation; backed by the dynamic Landau Big Band, you'll always hear swinging arrangements of Great American Songbook classics from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat ‘King' Cole and many more, along with a dusting of that special Motown Magic that is sure to move your feet and make you sing along.And after the show, every show, you'll always have the opportunity to meet Landau one-on-one for photos and have the chance to talk with him about his incredible rags-to-riches story.  “It's my favorite part of the night; it's something we always do. Sometimes I'm the last one at the venue, talking to fans and friends. The janitor is waiting on me to lock up!”Landau was born into extreme poverty in the Appalachian coalfields of southern West Virginia. His parents split while he was in elementary school, and Landau was shipped off to Detroit in the middle of the night. He woke up in the Motor Cities notoriously gang and drug-riddled “7 Mile” neighborhood. Landau likes to say that he went from Almost Heaven to Little Baghdad overnight!“I loved to play basketball in Detroit, and these guys were good. Some of them went onto the NBA. But we were in the hood; it wasn't anything to see guns drawn on the court after the game, so to keep people cool and laughing, when I'd dunk on someone, I'd sing a Frank Sinatra song like “Fly Me To The Moon” and everyone would laugh and put their guns away.”At the end of his rope, Landau tied a knot and pulled himself back up by auditioning for NBC TV's “America's Got Talent” with thousands of others. After months of competition, Landau emerged the winner, scoring a million dollars, a recording contract, and America's hearts, and he's never looked back.Landau's Columbia Records debut album “That's Life” reached number one on the Billboard Jazz Charts and was followed by “Christmas Made For Two”, “Landau” and his latest “Landau Live In Las Vegas” recorded during a performance at the legendary Caesar's Palace.  Landau has made dozens of TV appearances including “The Today Show”, “The View”, CNN, “Fox and Friends”, “The Talk”, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the Hollywood Christmas Parade.He's helped raise millions of dollars for charities, many in his home state of West Virginia where he serves on the Board of Directors for the Children's Home Society of West Virginia and was named “West Virginian of the Year” by the Governor's office and the state's largest newspaper.I Landau proudly released LANDAU LIVE IN LAS VEGAS a pre-pandemic recording at Caesars Palace that includes several never-before-released tracks. Enjoy Landau's unique take on the Great American Songbook as well as classic R&B, all backed by his long-time stellar musicians in LANDAU'S LITTLE BIG BAND, with guest background vocals by former Temptations and Four Tops lead singer Theo Peoples!© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23bAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

A chainsaw mounted to a sword. Seventeen pumpkins in a minute. And a philosophy that says a show only becomes real when the audience completes it. That's the ride we take with Jelly Boy the Clown—writer, record-setter, and sideshow artist who turns chaos into craft.We start with the surprise aftermath of America's Got Talent: millions of viewers, zero promotion allowed, and a door opening from an unexpected direction—Guinness World Records. From there we go inside the workshop, where ideas live first in a sketchbook, then on a bench with bolts and cork, and finally on stage. Why pumpkins beat watermelons, how to create negative space with pitchforks, and what three points of contact do for stability when the saw is humming in your throat. It's engineering, rehearsal, and risk management wrapped in clown logic.The heart of the talk is presentation. Tools are level one; meaning lives in timing, character, and framing. Jelly Boy shares how he disarms fear—pairing eye hooks with Careless Whisper, mixing menace with sincerity—so the audience leans in. We dig into act architecture: the tennis racket routine evolving through constraints, failed slapstick reappearing later as the perfect chaos engine, and why variety beats repetition for laughs and suspense. Along the way, we trace his films—from a B-movie to a raw fire-recovery doc to Dark Imagination Party—capturing how the pandemic pushed the work from stages to cameras and back again.Threaded through is our host's upcoming book, Facing The Other Way, a philosophy of showmanship that frames performance as a three-part system: performer, audience, and attention. Without a witness, magic isn't magic. That idea lands as we talk edits, cuts, and voice—how slicing fifty pages can reveal the core, why a unified tone matters, and how community and small presses help art find its people. If you care about live arts, circus, clowning, sword swallowing, or the creative process of turning rough sketches into resonant moments, this one's for you.If the conversation hits home, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

Comedian Julia Scotti joins Ophira Eisenberg to talk about the long, winding path that brought her back to stand-up after transitioning and a decade away from comedy. Julia reflects on raising three children amid multiple marriages and constant touring, her fear of repeating her own fractured childhood, and the painful 14-year estrangement from her kids after she came out as transgender. She recalls coming out mid-set at a blue-collar Pennsylvania club and later to 13 million people on America's Got Talent, joking that she wanted to be judged “on the act, not the anatomy.” Julia also describes how teaching special education students during that period filled the hole left by her kids' absence—including a harrowing day during 9/11 when she nearly took her own life. The conversation touches on old stand-up footage where she mocked trans people before understanding her identity, her love of Louis Prima singalongs with her son, and the two corny jokes she first told him from his crib. The episode ends on a warm note as Julia admits she “unleashed the Kraken” by raising another comedy lover.

Ook de AD mediapodcast kon er niet omheen: Het Sinterklaasjournaal is terug mét Pietje Paniek en schokkende beelden. Het Pietenhuis werd belegerd, omdat het verbouwd wordt tot kazerne. ‘Je brengt de oorlog zo wel heel dichtbij de kinderen.’ Het mediapanel bespreekt de finale van Holland’s Got Talent: het programma miste de zogenaamde 'buzz'. De RTL 4-show werd dan ook ruimschoots verslagen door SBS 6 met het veel interessantere The Tribute: Battle of the bands. Het geheim: de diversiteit aan muziek in dat programma met een 'gèinâhge Haagse' jury (Spike & César Zuiderwijk). Verder in deze podcast naar aanleiding van Expeditie Robinson een verhitte discussie over de ethiek tijdens het spelen van een spel. Is alles dan geoorloofd? En geldt dat ook voor een potje Risk met vrienden of is liegen en bedriegen alleen weggelegd voor BN'ers in een televisieshow? En het nieuwe programma van Humberto Tan komt in een flits voorbij.

What if you were certain you were perfectly healthy — but everyone around you insisted you had schizophrenia? This may not be denial; it could be anosognosia — a neurological symptom that prevents people from recognizing they have a mental illness.  In this special bonus episode, host Rachel Star Withers, who lives with schizophrenia, sits down with Dr. Xavier Amador, world-renowned psychologist and founder of the LEAP Institute, to unravel one of the most misunderstood symptoms in psychiatry.

There was not a part of me that thought that would be a thing.-Karina Rykman on the unexpected outcome of her music career. It's very intoxicating to have people sing your songs back at you.
