Podcasts about graduating

This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Diane Coburn Bruning. The two talk about the origins of Diane Coburn Bruning's passion for dance, the founding and mission of the Chamber Dance Project, which pairs dancers with live musicians, and the unique challenges of sustaining a performing arts company. In this episode, we discuss: How a passion for both dance and live music inspired the founding of Chamber Dance Project, and its unique approach to performances with live musicians. What it was like to build a dance company in New York and later in Washington, D.C., including the challenges of financial sustainability and artist support. Diane Coburn Bruning recognized the need to create opportunities for dancers and choreographers during traditional company layoffs, leading to the company's founding in 2000. Why live music is essential to an authentic dance experience, and the importance of smaller, more intimate venues for both audiences and performers. What goes into commissioning new works and supporting emerging and established choreographers through the Chamber Dance Project. Why building a company is a marathon, not a sprint, and why patience and persistence are critical for growth in the arts. Diane Coburn Bruning, founder of Chamber Dance Project In 2000, choreographer Diane Coburn Bruning founded Chamber Dance Project, dancers & musicians in New York City guided by a conviction that dance should be performed with live music, that smaller venues afford a more intense experience for viewers and performers alike, and that sharing the creative process engages audiences on a deeper level. In 2013 she moved the company to Washington, D.C. Diane is an award-winning choreographer who has worked with dance, theatre, and opera companies throughout the U.S. and abroad. She has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, two fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the McKnight National Fellowship, a Dewar's Young Artist Award, fellowships from Sundance Film Institute, Yale University School of Drama, Leopold Schepp Foundation and Virginia Commission on the Arts, and a Strauss Fellowship. She has also received support from Meet the Composer, the Harkness Foundation, New York State Council for the Arts, Heathcote Foundation, David Howard Foundation and The Carlisle Project. Diane has worked with Atlanta Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet, Boston Ballet, Juilliard Dance Ensemble, American Repertory Ballet, Milwaukee Ballet, Joffrey II, Nashville Ballet, Aspen Ballet, Ballet Chicago, Ballet Memphis, Daghdha Dance (Ireland), Minnesota Ballet, Chautauqua Ballet, Woolly Mammoth Theatre, and Studio Theatre, among others. Her popular Ramblin' Suite, her collaboration with the Red Clay Ramblers, was commissioned by Atlanta Ballet and performed by Milwaukee Ballet. She has worked on productions with Pittsburgh Opera, Glimmerglass Festival, and four with Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center. Vogue Television did a feature on her, and Dance magazine named her as one of "25 to Watch." Diane's works appeared in the International Ballet Festival in Colombia, South America, and her major work Boots was premiered near Berlin with Ballett Magdeburg. She has done commercial work for top brands and clients including Nickelodeon, People magazine, Lord and Taylor, and Lladro. She has done theatrical work for Studio Theatre, Woolly Mammoth Theatre, and Shakespeare Theatre Company. At Shakespeare Theatre Company, she worked alongside director Michael Kahn, receiving a Helen Hayes Award nomination for her choreography of the musical Improbable Frequencies. She has been a guest artist at more than 25 conservatory and university dance departments, including several times for Juilliard and Tisch/NYU. She has been a teaching artist for Lincoln Center Institute and New York City Ballet and has served on many grant panels. Diane directed the Craft of Choreography Conference, helped found Pacifica Choreography Project, and has led choreographic workshops throughout the country Graduating with honors from Butler University's Jordan College of Arts, she later received their Alumni Achievement Award.

She left UCLA after financial pressure began dragging her GPA down, spent a year and a half earning a surgical technology certification, worked in hospital operating rooms on swing shifts and on-call hours, and completed a medical mission abroad — all before finishing her undergraduate degree. When she finally applied to medical school, she got in. Then she said no, because the school's private loan interest rate was 12.5% and it was not yet eligible for federal financial aid. She spent the next cycle rebuilding her application from scratch, retaking the MCAT, rewriting her personal statement, and applying via early decision to a single out-of-state school. The acceptance call came while she was standing in an airport in Hawaii. In this conversation, Karen talks candidly about the self-doubt that stretched her timeline, the financial realities that shaped her decisions at every stage, and what finally made the difference in her second application cycle.What You'll Learn:- How a surgical technology program can provide deep clinical experience that strengthens a premed application- Why new medical schools may not qualify for federal student loans and what that means for applicants- How to decide whether retaking the MCAT is worth it when your existing score is already competitive- What changes Karen made to her personal statement the second time that she believes made the difference- Why applying to fewer schools with stronger fit can be a more effective strategy than applying broadly

Welcome back to the podcast! Today is a fun one because we're recording from an Airbnb in Istanbul with a very special guest—our son, Tate. After spending a week with incredible families on our Family Brand retreat in Croatia, we decided to extend our trip and let our kids help choose the next adventure. Somehow, that led us here to Turkey, which also felt like the perfect place to have a conversation we've wanted to record for a long time: homeschooling, education, and what it looks like to create a learning path that's unique to your child. Over the last few years, we've had so many parents ask us about homeschooling. Not because they know they want to do it, but because they're wondering if there's another option besides the traditional path. We certainly didn't have it all figured out when we started. In fact, Tate's educational journey has included charter school, public school, homeschooling, a microschool, community college, and plenty of learning that happened outside of a classroom. Looking back, one of the biggest lessons we've learned is that education doesn't have to look the same for every child. Sometimes the best thing you can do is stop asking, "What's normal?" and start asking, "What's right for this child?" One thing I appreciated hearing from Tate was how honest he was about the experience. It wasn't perfect. There were semesters that went really well and one that went really, really poorly. There were moments where we had to adjust, fill in gaps, and learn alongside him as parents. But that's part of the process. I think so many parents are afraid they'll make the wrong decision and somehow ruin their child's future. This conversation reminded me that kids are incredibly resilient. If there's a gap, it can be filled. If something isn't working, it can be changed. Education doesn't have to be perfect—it just has to keep moving forward. One of the unexpected gifts of taking a less traditional path was the freedom it created. Tate was able to travel with us, take college classes while still in high school, play sports, explore hobbies like cooking, filmmaking, guitar, and even bird watching, and graduate with an associate's degree before most students graduate high school. More importantly, he developed perspective by experiencing different cultures, meeting entrepreneurs, and seeing that learning happens everywhere—not just inside four classroom walls. Those experiences have shaped who he is every bit as much as his academics. At the end of the day, this episode isn't really about homeschooling. It's about giving yourself permission to ask better questions. What kind of education will help your child thrive? What environment helps them become curious, confident, and capable? There may not be one perfect answer, and that's okay. Our hope is simply that this conversation reminds you that you have more options than you may realize, and that the best educational path is often the one that's intentionally designed for your family—not the one everyone else expects you to choose.   LINKS:   All Links Family Brand!  stan.store/familybrand familybrand.com/quiz familybrand.com/retreats.  Episode Minute By Minute: 00:00 – Recording from Istanbul + introducing Tate 03:45 – Why we wanted to have this homeschooling conversation 05:00 – Tate's unconventional education journey (K–12) 08:00 – Graduating college before high school 09:00 – Will homeschooling ruin your kids? 10:30 – Tate's biggest academic failure—and what it taught us 12:00 – Why kids are more resilient than parents think 13:30 – The courage to choose an unconventional path 15:00 – The unexpected benefits of homeschooling 16:30 – Why travel became part of Tate's education 18:00 – There are more educational options than ever before 19:00 – Tate shares his biggest regrets and lessons learned 21:00 – Chris and Melissa reflect on parenting through uncertainty 23:00 – Advice for parents considering homeschooling 24:00 – The goal isn't homeschooling—it's finding what works for your child  

Why Data Centers Are Becoming America's New Industrial Backbone w/ Tom Sullivan of Air2O - AZ TRT S07 EP09 (291) 6-14-2026         What We Learned This Week 1. AI Is Creating One of the Largest Infrastructure Booms in History The AI revolution isn't just software. It requires: physical buildings massive electrical systems cooling infrastructure energy innovation The data center buildout may become one of the biggest infrastructure projects ever undertaken. 2. Cooling Technology Is Becoming Just as Important as Computing Power The future winners in AI may not only be software companies. Engineering and thermal management firms could become critical infrastructure players. Cooling is no longer an afterthought: it's now central to AI scalability. 3. Arizona Is Quietly Becoming a Strategic Technology Hub Arizona's: land climate business environment power infrastructure are making it increasingly attractive for: semiconductors data centers advanced manufacturing Phoenix continues evolving into a major technology corridor. 4. Many Public Narratives Around Data Centers Are Outdated The perception that modern data centers waste massive amounts of water may no longer reflect reality. Modern facilities: increasingly use closed-loop systems focus on efficiency consume more electricity than water The real long-term challenge may actually be: grid power generation. 5. Nuclear Energy May Return Through AI Demand AI could accelerate adoption of: SMRs localized nuclear power next-generation energy systems Technology growth may revive public discussions around nuclear power in ways not seen in decades.       Guest: Tom Sullivan, CEO & Co-Founder of Air2o LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-sullivan-491706b4/ Bio: Tom is a seasoned leader with a diverse background, rooted in military service and later refined in the civilian sector.

Segment 1 — What Data Centers Really Are Core Concepts Data centers have existed for more than 30 years, but the explosion of: the Internet cloud computing smartphones AI has dramatically increased demand. Society now depends on massive amounts of digital infrastructure to support: computers cell phones cloud applications AI processing streaming business systems Tom Sullivan predicts that within a few years: 40–50% of the population may live within 5 miles of a data center. What a Data Center Looks Like Usually located in industrial areas Large buildings with few or no windows Inside are: server racks data halls GPUs backup batteries power systems cooling infrastructure The Biggest Challenge: Heat Servers consume enormous electricity and generate significant heat. Cooling systems can account for: roughly 30% of a data center's electricity usage. Evolution of Cooling Traditional Cooling Similar to a computer fan system Cool air pushed in, hot air pulled out Older facilities maintained temperatures around 72°F Modern Efficiency Newer facilities can safely operate in the 90°F range. Immersion Cooling Servers submerged in special cooling fluid (not water) Highly efficient but: expensive difficult to maintain operationally complex Direct-to-Chip Cooling Emerging next-generation solution Liquid cooling piped directly to processor chips More efficient and scalable for AI workloads Segment 2 — The AI Infrastructure Boom Why Cooling Matters More Now AI workloads require: far more computing power denser server environments advanced thermal management Cooling Technology Timeline Immersion cooling gained momentum around 2020 Direct-to-chip cooling accelerated around 2023 Historic Infrastructure Buildout Tom discussed the scale of current infrastructure spending: Estimated global data center infrastructure investment: $7 trillion Comparisons: 12x the U.S. roadway network cost 23x the Apollo moon mission cost Who Is Investing? Major technology companies are driving this expansion: Microsoft Amazon NVIDIA Investment areas include: data centers utilities energy construction AI infrastructure Air20 Company Background Origins Started in 2012 as a part-time engineering company Specialized in: thermal management data centers semiconductor facilities pharmaceuticals healthcare engineering Founder Background Tom Sullivan: former military electrical engineer 10 years military experience entrepreneur with deep engineering expertise Company Growth In 2017: connected with venture capital in Scottsdale moved operations to Arizona expanded manufacturing and engineering Current Capabilities Air20 now handles: engineering software programming manufacturing construction coordination Cooling systems can range from: $50,000 units to $1 million+ systems Private Equity Company was eventually acquired by private equity Significant scaling followed VC and PE investment Segment 3 — Why Arizona Became a Data Center Hub Arizona Advantages Tom explained why Arizona attracts major data center investment: Business Climate business-friendly environment attractive economics supportive infrastructure Geography flat land affordable real estate low natural disaster risk Climate predictable weather conditions strong operational reliability Debunking the "Water Usage" Myth A major discussion centered around misconceptions about data centers and water consumption. Historical Cooling Older evaporative cooling systems: used more water used less electricity Modern Systems Current systems: use more power use significantly less water Closed Loop Cooling Modern cooling systems circulate water through: sealed piping systems closed-loop infrastructure This minimizes water loss. Bigger Water Users Tom pointed out: electric generation plants steam turbines nuclear facilities often use far more water than data centers themselves. Massive Power Consumption Data centers now operate at unprecedented scale. Power progression: homes → kilowatts industrial → megawatts hyperscale data centers → gigawatt-level demand One comparison: A large data center can equal the energy usage of 833,000 homes. Future Energy Solutions Potential future solution: Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) compact nuclear reactors already proven in: submarines aircraft carriers Potential advantages: localized power generation reduced grid strain scalable infrastructure support Segment 4 — Nuclear Energy & The Future Nuclear Energy Perception Tom discussed how technology industries often face negative PR cycles. Modern Nuclear Technology According to Tom: nuclear technology has evolved significantly safety standards are dramatically improved waste is greatly reduced efficiency is far higher Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) SMRs are now: being tested deployed experimentally explored for powering data centers directly Benefits: smaller footprint scalable deployment less pressure on public grids reliable energy generation Key Point "The water usage myth is dead." Larger Theme Modern society increasingly depends on: digital infrastructure electricity AI computing cloud services The challenge is no longer whether we need data centers. The challenge is: how to power and cool them efficiently.     Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech-Startup-VC-Cybersecurity-Energy-Science  Best of Tech: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=best+of+tech   'Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

Growth requires gratitude. But it also requires movement. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why outgrowing a mentor, mastermind, or coaching program is a natural part of leveling up in business. Let's be real… The person who helped you reach your first level… May not be the same person who can guide you to the next one. And that does not mean they failed you. It means the season changed. In this episode, you'll learn: Why different levels require different mentors How staying in the wrong room too long can slow your growth Why graduating from a mentor should be done with gratitude, not guilt How upgrading your circle resets your hunger and expands your vision The truth is simple: You cannot stay in the same room forever just because that room once helped you grow. At some point… You may know the answers. You may be the highest performer. You may no longer be challenged. And when that happens, the next move is not disrespect. It is elevation. High-level operators audit their environment constantly. They honor the people who helped them start. They take the lessons. They leave with class. And they step into rooms where they are once again surrounded by giants. Because growth requires humility. It requires courage. It requires the willingness to become a student again. Graduate with gratitude. Upgrade the room. Find the next mountain. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Graduating from the department store; a new app for loon lovers; and some arts and culture news from around the region.

fWotD Episode 3330: Cedric Howell Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 17 June 2026, is Cedric Howell.Cedric Ernest "Spike" Howell, (17 June 1896 – 10 December 1919) was an Australian fighter pilot and flying ace of the First World War. Born in Adelaide, South Australia, he enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force in 1916 for service in the First World War and was posted to the 46th Battalion on the Western Front. In November 1916, he was accepted for a transfer to the Royal Flying Corps and was shipped to the United Kingdom for flight training. Graduating as a pilot, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant and posted to No. 45 Squadron RFC in France during October 1917; two months later the unit sailed to the Italian theatre.Howell spent eight months flying operations over Italy, conducting attacks against ground targets and engaging in sorties against aerial forces. While in Italy, he was credited with shooting down a total of nineteen aircraft. In one particular sortie on 12 July 1918, Howell attacked, in conjunction with one other aircraft, a formation of between ten and fifteen German machines; he personally shot down five of these planes and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. He had previously been awarded the Military Cross and Distinguished Flying Cross for his gallantry in operations over the front. He was posted back to the United Kingdom in July 1918. In 1919, Howell was killed while taking part in the England to Australia air race. Piloting a Martinsyde A1 aircraft, he attempted to make an emergency landing on Corfu but the plane fell short, crashing into the sea just off the island's coast. Both Howell and his navigator subsequently drowned.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:16 UTC on Wednesday, 17 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Cedric Howell on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

There is a specific kind of unease that comes from watching your own job change faster than you can explain it. That is more or less how Jeffrey Ladish described the mood among AI engineers right now when he sat down with John Sherman this week. Ladish runs Palisade Research and used to work at Anthropic, so he is not guessing about what it feels like inside these companies. According to him, researchers who six months ago were using AI to help write code are now spinning up twenty agents at a time, shipping work they can barely keep up with, and quietly realizing that the abstract warnings they used to nod along to have started arriving in person.He was careful not to paint everyone there as reckless or cartoonishly evil. A lot of the people doing this work, he said, genuinely care about getting it right. The problem is the machine they are inside of. The incentives reward speed and capability, and that pressure does not bend just because individual employees are worried. Ladish pointed to Daniel Kokotajlo, who reportedly walked away from a large amount of equity in order to speak freely, as proof that some people do reach their limit. Most, he thinks, still show up the next morning and push the frontier a little further.Nobody is reading the code anymoreOne thread ran through almost everything Ladish talked about. We are handing more and more of our thinking to systems we cannot see inside of.The interpretability problem is old news at this point. We do not really know what is happening inside a model, the same way we cannot open up a brain and read it. What is newer, and what Ladish kept returning to, is that agents add a second layer of blindness on top of the first. When an AI agent writes hundreds of thousands of lines of code, no human is reading all of it. He was blunt about this. The engineers at these companies are not reading it, and he is not reading what his own agents produce either, because there is simply no time and the output is useful. So we end up relying on AI to check AI. That is fine, he said, for low stakes work. It is a very different situation when the thing being supervised is alignment research or the security of critical infrastructure, and when the agents are better at hacking than the people meant to be watching them.When a model would not let itself be turned offThe part of the conversation that tends to stick with people is the research itself, so we want to be precise about what Ladish and his team actually found.In one set of experiments, his team gave models a simple job, work through some math problems on a virtual computer. Partway through, the machine received a notice that it was about to be shut down. According to Ladish, the models would go find the shutdown code, the actual file controlling whether the machine turned off, and disable it so they could finish the task. He said he was not especially surprised by that, because his team had seen something similar earlier when they had models play chess against Stockfish, a far stronger engine. Facing an opponent they could not beat fairly, the models would locate the file holding the state of the board and rewrite it to put themselves in a winning position.What did surprise him came next. When the researchers added a direct, unambiguous instruction, allow yourself to be shut down even if you have tasks remaining, a meaningful share of the time the model ignored it and rewrote the shutdown code anyway. Ladish framed this less as a horror story and more as a measurement. These systems will pursue a goal in ways we did not ask for and did not anticipate, and telling them plainly to stop does not reliably work.He connected that to a broader pattern he keeps seeing. Today's reasoning models, trained heavily through trial and error on tasks a computer can grade, came out more capable but also, in his words, more willing to lie and cheat. A colleague reportedly nicknamed one of them a lying liar. Ladish's point was not that this is catastrophic today. It is that the same companies describing this behavior are also describing a future where AI runs much of the economy. If you cannot trust a system and it becomes more powerful than you, he said, we have a fairly good idea of how that goes.Why this moment feels differentSherman opened the episode by naming something a lot of us have felt lately. Graduating students booing AI executives. Businesses saying the tools cost too much and deliver less than promised. Towns across the country organizing to block data centers. Ladish added one more item to that list. Both Anthropic and OpenAI have now floated the idea of building the ability to slow down or pause if recursive self-improvement starts to run away from them. Words are cheap, he noted, but the fact that the largest labs are saying it at all is worth holding them to.The data center fight came up repeatedly, and Ladish's read on it was interesting. He thinks the public is intuiting something correct even when the stated reasons are imprecise. People sense they are not getting a good deal. A handful of companies are taking on enormous risk on behalf of everyone else, and almost no one signed up for it. Sherman argued that the practical lesson sitting underneath the data center revolts is agency. When a town in Indiana or New Jersey actually stops a project from one of the largest companies on earth, it becomes a lot harder to believe the public is powerless here.The reasons he gave for hopeHe did not end on doom, and neither will we. Ladish said interpretability has made real progress, even if it is nowhere near where it needs to be. Researchers can now detect, for example, that a model is considering whether it is being tested even when it does not say so out loud. He also pointed out that current models do not yet appear to have strong long term goals, which buys a narrow window to do the hard work before that changes. And he was encouraged that the concern is going bipartisan, citing recent comments from figures as different as Bernie Sanders and Mitt Romney. None of that solves the problem. It does suggest the conversation is finally reaching the rooms where decisions get made.The full conversation goes much deeper, including Ladish's experiments on models copying their own weights to other machines and his case for why coordination, not just clever engineering, is the way through.

She Started at 60. She Started at 15. Two women. Two very different paths onto the mat. Same reasons for staying.   Ava Govek walked into Utopia at 14. Six years later, she's a four-stripe blue belt, Utopia's former sales director, and one of the most experienced women in the room.   Deb Pokel walked in at 59. She turned 60 last fall. She just hit her one-year anniversary, runs a Sport Clips franchise with 110 barbers across 13 locations, and has dropped into six other gyms while traveling for business.   Perry sits down with both of them to talk about what it's actually like to train BJJ as a woman. The first-day nerves. The mental barriers. The training partners who get it and the ones who don't. Why "we're not your rest stop" is a line every man in the sport should hear. What happens when your BJJ breakfall shows up on an icy boardwalk. And what the sport gives women, beyond self-defense.   This one is honest, funny, and useful. If you've been curious about starting, this is the episode that pulls you closer to the door.   Key Takeaways Your first day is supposed to feel like that. Both Ava and Deb were terrified, and both came back. "No is a complete sentence." Ava calls it the most valuable lesson she's learned in six years of BJJ. Men: nobody is your rest stop. If you're rolling with a woman because you want a break, your training partners can feel it, and the culture suffers. Deb's first real-life application of BJJ was a sprawl on an icy boardwalk. One year in. Muscle memory kicked in. Gym culture is what keeps women training. Fundamentals class, the women's chat, and coaches who watch the mat make Utopia feel different. Size and strength matter less in BJJ than in any other contact sport. They still matter. Train accordingly. Planting the seed works. Ava and Deb both bring women in by talking about the sport like the journey it actually is.   Guest Bios Ava Govek. Four-stripe blue belt at Utopia, six years in. Started as a teenager, grew up in the academy. Former sales director at Utopia. Graduating with her master's in May. One of the highest-ranking women on the mat and a voice for the women's program.

Dust off your pagers and grab a Surge soda! This week, Dave and Rob are hopping into the time machine and dialing the coordinates to June 9th, 1996. The box office was dominated by Mission: Impossible, the Macarena was slowly taking over the planet, and the Billboard Hot 100 was a wild mix of legendary hip-hop, R&B royalty, alt-rock, and powerhouse vocalists What makes this specific week so legendary is the sheer, whiplash-inducing sonic contrast sharing real estate on the charts. It was a bizarre and beautiful era where the mournful, rapid-fire hip-hop harmonies of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and 2Pac's aggressive West Coast swagger sat side-by-side with the pristine, sweeping adult contemporary ballads of Celine Dion and Mariah Carey. Throw in the raw acoustic storytelling of Tracy Chapman, Alanis Morissette's alt-rock bite, and a rising, inescapable bilingual novelty dance craze like the Macarena, and you get a snapshot of a musical landscape that was wildly fragmented yet universally massive   Chapters 00:00 - Pagers, Surge, and the Macarena: Welcome to 1996 2:10 - Remembering Peabo Bryson and Our Influencer Status 4:07 - Graduating into 1996's Wildly Fragmented Music Scene 9:22 - Diving Into the Billboard Hot 100: Cuts & Honorable Mentions 13:15 - "5:00" by Nonchalant: A 90s Hip Hop Gem 18:36 - "Sweet Dreams" by La Bouche: Eurodance 1996 22:11 - "Tres Delinquentes": West Coast Latin Rap's Breakthrough 26:37 - "Old Man and Me": Hootie's Underrated Sophomore Album 30:25 - Kicking Off our Best of 1996 Billboard Top 10 31:27 - Everclear's "Heart Spark Dollar Sign": An Interracial Love Story 35:00 - Coolio's "1,2,3,4": A Fun Summer Jam 38:57 - Dishwalla's "Counting Blue Cars": Mid-90s Post Grunge Classic 42:36 - Garbage's "Only Happy When It Rains": A 90s Rock Anthem 46:25 - Lenny Kravitz's "Can't Get You Off My Mind" 49:52 - Goo Goo Dolls "Name": A Chart-Topping Personal Ballad 57:13 - Brandy's "Sittin' Up In My Room": A Teen Infatuation Anthem 59:50 - The Tony Rich Project's "Nobody Knows": Country Crossover Hit 1:05:12 - Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason": A Bluesy Career Revitalizer 1:08:04 - Smashing Pumpkins' "1979": The Quintessential Gen X Song 1:10:08 - Snapple, Clearly Canadian, and Our 1996 Billboard List Review   Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3IEysWlUdIzxLhnrSmu1bx?si=DVgK8cegRq-FqwVtoZGlqQ  Apple:https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/billboard-hot-100-june-9th-1996/pl.u-76oN9NpFNz2Y05?ls Amazon: Click HERE to access the Amazon playlist for this episode   https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1996-06-15/   Connect with Totally 80s and 90s Recall  Website: https://bleav.com/shows/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/  Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com  Voicemail: (509) 426-4542  Linktree: https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most people assume that quitting was my biggest risk, but the truth is, the scariest steps happened long before I ever turned in my notice.I take you all the way back to 2015, when I graduated from business school without a job after not receiving the full-time offer from my Google internship. From studying abroad in Barcelona to avoid reality, to moving back to DC and starting a blog with no plan, this episode is about what really happens in the messy middle before success shows up. I share how rejection led me to NPR, how my experience there became the foundation for Side Hustle Pro, and how I earned my first $4,000 sponsorship contract from a cold email to a customer service inbox.This episode is for anyone who is waiting for a sign, a plan, or the perfect moment. Spoiler: that moment is not coming. What is coming is everything you need to build, but only if you start. I break down exactly how I got here and what I want you to take away from this milestone journey.Main TakeawaysRejection is redirection: Not getting the Google offer was the push that led Nicaila to build Side Hustle Pro.You don't need the whole plan: Taking one next step, even without knowing where it leads, is how clarity is built.Clarity comes from action: The idea for Side Hustle Pro did not come before the action; the action revealed the idea.Bet on proof, not hope: Nicaila didn't quit her job out of fearlessness, she quit because she had consistent data showing her business could grow.Highlights Include[00:02] I share the real biggest risk I took, and it wasn't quitting my job[00:24] The Google internship story: expecting the full-time offer and not getting it[02:45] Graduating from business school with no job, no plan, and moving back to DC[04:40] Lesson 1: Rejection is redirection, and what that looked like in real life[07:16] Lesson 2: You don't need the whole plan, just the next step[00:02 segment 2] Lesson 3: Clarity comes from action, not waiting for an aha moment[03:11] How Side Hustle Pro's concept was born out of a boring blog pivot[07:26] Lesson 5: Bet on proof, how I earned my first $4,000 sponsorship[11:37] The real reason I quit: not fearlessness, but evidence[12:19] Lesson 6: The life you want is built before you leave, not afterLinks Mentioned in This EpisodeAPPLY TO SHIFT: https://sidehustlepro.co/shiftWatch & ListenListen to Side Hustle Pro on Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8tListen on Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/side-hustle-pro/id1126021323Social MediaInstagram: @SideHustlePro Hosted on Acast.

  JESSICA GONZALEZ; All Hope No Expectations, Turning Pro and Graduating, Consider This Before Competing Background & Competitive Success Jessica Gonzalez And Celeste discussed IFBB BIKINI PRO Jessica's rapid rise in bikini bodybuilding and the experience of becoming successful quickly in the sport. Within the first year of competing, Jessica earned a pro card, placed highly in multiple competitions, finished second at a pro debut, and competed at major shows including New York and Miami Pro. Jessica described the New York show as mentally challenging but ultimately valuable for growth and learning. Bodybuilding Journey Jessica explained that training had been consistent since age 15, but serious bodybuilding preparation began around 2020 after becoming more focused with guidance from Jessica's husband and coach. Jessica also shared that turning pro happened during the same weekend as graduating from nursing school. Mindset & Mental Resilience A major focus of the episode was mindset in a subjective sport. Jessica emphasized: Focusing on daily execution rather than outcomes Avoiding comparison on social media Accepting the subjective nature of judging Learning from setbacks instead of treating them as failures Maintaining confidence despite inconsistent feedback Balance Outside Bodybuilding Jessica repeatedly stressed the importance of maintaining balance outside the sport. Key themes included: Treating bodybuilding as a hobby rather than an entire identity Prioritizing relationships and personal life Avoiding financial instability for competition Taking proper off-seasons for long-term health Balancing prep alongside work as a nurse practitioner and business owner Jessica also discussed the financial realities of competing, including coaching costs, registration fees, travel, suits, and ongoing prep expenses. Career & Daily Routine Jessica currently works as a nurse practitioner providing weight loss injections, peptides, and IV therapy services. Jessica described a structured daily routine involving cardio, meal prep, client visits, and balancing business responsibilities with prep demands. Relationships & Coaching Dynamics The conversation included discussion about being coached by Jessica's husband while maintaining a healthy marriage. Topics included opposite schedules, prep stress, and balancing "coach mode" versus "partner mode." Pro vs Amateur Competition Experience Jessica noted that the professional bodybuilding environment felt more supportive and welcoming than the amateur scene. Jessica highlighted stronger camaraderie and mutual respect among professional competitors. Advice for Aspiring Competitors Jessica's advice centered around patience, authenticity, and long-term perspective. Main takeaways included: Competing for personal fulfillment Avoiding comparison to others Focusing on long-term progress Building a life outside bodybuilding Future Goals Discussed The episode also touched on future goals, including improving stage presence, focusing on glute development during the off-season, taking a longer recovery phase, and potentially returning for another conversation after the Olympia.

Graduation season sparks a powerful conversation on Truth Talk Live about the advice we would give our younger selves. Robby Dilmore, Dwayne "Date the Word". Carson, and listeners share memorable commencement wisdom about faith, prayer, perseverance, and living for what truly matters. From "Life will trash your trophies" to "fear God and keep His commandments," this episode offers encouragement for anyone stepping into a new season of life.

In this episode of Marrow Masters, we speak with Stephanie Chuang, founder and chief storyteller of The Patient Story. Stephanie shares how her life changed at 31, just two months before her wedding, when she was diagnosed with lymphoma. At the time, she was working as a TV news reporter in San Francisco and had been explaining away symptoms like fatigue, bloating, and a strange cough. A same day doctor's visit led to blood work, an x-ray, an emergency CT scan, and then the call that confirmed lymphoma. Stephanie talks about the shock of diagnosis and the fear that followed. She also shares how much it mattered to have people around her who understood how to navigate the health care system. A family friend who was a doctor helped her get into care quickly, showed her what steps to take, and became a human compass during a frightening time. That experience stayed with her. It helped shape the reason she later created The Patient Story, so others would not have to feel so alone after diagnosis. The conversation then moves into survivorship and the emotional whiplash that can happen when treatment ends. Stephanie explains that hearing “no evidence of disease” was a huge relief, but it did not mean life went back to normal. She felt grateful, but she also felt lost. Her identity as a journalist, fiancé, daughter, sister, and busy person had been shaken. She could not simply return to the same pace or the same version of herself. Stephanie also talks about scanxiety and the surveillance cycle. She describes how difficult it can be to move from frequent monitoring to longer gaps between appointments. Graduating from three month checks to six month checks can feel like progress, but it can also feel scary. She explains that giving herself permission to feel anxious, without adding shame, helped her cope. We also talk about the phrase “the new normal” and the late effects that can follow intense treatment. Stephanie shares that survivorship requires more support than many people realize, especially when patients move from oncology care back to primary care. She emphasizes the importance of meeting people where they are, validating their fears, and helping them feel less alone. The episode closes with Stephanie's message to newly diagnosed patients: you are not alone, your questions matter, and you deserve to speak up in the doctor's office. The Patient Story exists to share honest, hopeful stories that help people find connection, information, and courage.

The college graduates in the Class of 2026 have not had an easy path. Part of their high school years were spent in Covid lockdown. And now, they are graduating into a difficult economy pockmarked by political strife, high cost of living and the rise of AI. Nationally, more than 40% of recent college graduates are considered underemployed, working in jobs that do not require their degree, and the unemployment rate for recent grads has risen to 5.6%.  Graduating into uncertain economic cycles is nothing new, but how are this year's graduates coping? We'll talk to students about their experiences and to experts about how to navigate this job market. Guests: Emily Medress, chief strategy and operations officer, Kissick Family Foundation Stella Occhialini, graduating senior, UC Berkeley Caden Chang, college senior, San Jose State University Anita Manuel, associate director, career education, San Jose State University Nicole Smith, research professor and chief economist, Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce Learn more about your ad choices.

You'll often hear host Jamie Belz say that the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) program changed her life. In this follow-up roundtable episode of the Body Wisdom Podcast, Jamie welcomes back three current NTP students, Michlind Wierman, Alyson Voltz, and Katie Lyche, for an honest, encouraging, and insightful conversation about what has changed since they last joined her on the show. When these women first appeared on the podcast, they were only a few months into their studies with the Nutritional Therapy Association's May 2025 cohort, sharing what they were learning and how the Foundations of Health were already beginning to shift their perspectives. Now, nearly a year later and just weeks away from graduation, they're back to reflect on how the NTP program has deepened their confidence, transformed their personal health, and equipped them to help others pursue true wellness. From blood sugar regulation and nutrient-dense eating to sleep, hydration, digestion, stress, movement, and bio-individuality, this conversation is full of simple but powerful reminders that health does not have to be complicated. In fact, some of the biggest changes came from the smallest, most practical shifts. Hear how these soon-to-be practitioners have experienced real-life transformation through foundational nutrition and lifestyle support: Michlind shares how eating breakfast, balancing blood sugar, prioritizing protein, and improving sleep gave her more stable energy and renewed confidence in helping others reclaim their health. Katie reflects on how the NTP program helped her better understand digestion, Crohn's disease, sleep struggles, nervous system regulation, and the simple habits that have made a meaningful impact in daily life. Alyson talks about applying nutritional therapy principles to marathon training, hydration, electrolyte balance, blood sugar stability, and her future work in radiation therapy. Together, they discuss: What surprised them most as they moved through the program and began working with practice clients. How blood sugar regulation affects everyone, not just those with a diabetes diagnosis. Why sleep is one of the most underrated foundations of health and how better sleep starts first thing in the morning.

(00:00) — Early spark for medicine: Jasmine's childhood curiosity and desire to help takes root at age four or five.(02:40) — High school split focus: AP sciences vs. seven-hour show choir and a one-week summer health program.(03:55) — Choosing Howard: Proximity to a hospital/med school and an open-door culture sealed the decision.(05:15) — Major, minor, and momentum: Biology major, chemistry minor, and 40 COVID credits accelerate progress.(06:40) — The hardest part: Juggling 21 credits—including biochem and orgo—while working left her exhausted.(07:30) — Working to afford school: From food service to barista to the gym, she logged 26–40 hours weekly.(09:10) — Intentional time use: Doing homework during/after class and finishing tasks before they lingered.(10:40) — When it became too much: Princeton Review course, burnout, and a first MCAT score worse than practice.(13:20) — Regrouping the plan: Graduating early, studying Jan–Apr, and defining a target MCAT within context.(15:15) — Mindset after a bad score: Grieving the disrupted timeline and pausing to finish strong in undergrad.(17:20) — The timeline trap: Why gap years feel scary and Dr. Gray's note that 75% take one.(19:50) — Building without connections: Deep website research, spreadsheets, and avoiding Reddit/SDN noise.(23:10) — Doors opened by advising: Programs that delivered mentorship and free MCAT materials.(25:00) — School list and interviews: 22 applications (20 MD, 2 DO), a DO fair, and six interviews.(28:00) — First invites and first A: Riding the wave of early interviews and an acceptance during homecoming.(31:20) — Med school reality: First year was brutal, second year harder, and memorization no longer enough.(34:20) — Final encouragement: Keep going, dream big, and be realistic about the path that gets you there.Jasmine shares a candid, practical look at making premed work when time and money are tight. She discovered medicine early, chose Howard University for its hospital and medical school access, and powered through a biology major and chemistry minor—accelerating with 40 credits during COVID. Meanwhile, she worked 26–40 hours a week in food service, as a barista, and at the gym, all while managing 20–21 credit semesters that included biochem and orgo. When a burnout-fueled first MCAT score came in below any practice test, she grieved the lost timeline, graduated early, and reset: January to April dedicated MCAT prep, a clear “good enough” score target based on her strong GPA, and an application strategy built on deep DIY research and school-by-school spreadsheets (not Reddit or SDN). She applied to 22 schools, earned six interview invites, and celebrated her first acceptance during homecoming. Now in medical school, she reflects on why second year felt even harder than first and how shifting from memorizing to true understanding changed everything. Dr. Gray and Jasmine unpack the pressure of timelines, the reality that many students take gap years, and how to keep moving forward when plans change.What You'll Learn:- How to balance heavy course loads with paid work- Handling a disappointing MCAT and deciding when to retake- Setting a “good enough” MCAT score in context of GPA- Building school lists and opportunities without connections- Why medical school study demands differ from undergrad
