Podcasts about graphic designers

Most graphic designers think ageism in graphic design is the problem. They think once you hit 40, the industry starts phasing you out. That younger designers with faster tools and bigger social followings are taking over.If you're a graphic designer over 40, you've probably asked yourself: am I too old for this industry?But what if age isn't the threat at all?What if the real issue is how graphic designers have confused speed with value and bought into a narrative that keeps them insecure, divided, and easy to replace?In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we break down the truth about ageism in graphic design, the myth that graphic design is a “young person's game,” and what actually determines whether a graphic design career after 40 thrives or fades.You'll learn:– Why “design is a young person's game” is one of the biggest myths in the graphic design industry – How corporate culture benefits when graphic designers over 40 compete with younger designers – What experienced designers bring to branding, logo design, and creative leadership that tools and trends never will – The real reason some graphic designers become irrelevant long before 40This isn't about defending older designers. It's about understanding what makes a graphic designer indispensable in branding, strategy, and creative direction.Because if you think this is just about age, you're missing the bigger shift happening in graphic design right now. And that mistake will cost you.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Dropping out of college at 21 to marry her high school sweetheart, getting divorced with 4 children, having to get a job in the 70's, -that's a lot for anyone, let alone a single woman. Marilyn, Suzy's mom, was an only child born in Jefferson City, MO in 1929. She was raised by her doting parents making sure their beautiful daughter had everything she needed or wanted. My guest recalls  "my mom was beautiful as a child . She tap danced, was a ballerina and a cheerleader, everything her parents wanted in a child."Though things got tough for Suzy at a young age, the youngest of four children, Marilyn proved herself more than capable of handling most everything on her own. In time, Suzy started to bear the brunt of coming to mom's aid.  An older brother's mental illness started taking its toll on the family and Suzy was there to stand by her mother and help her through these crises. Suzy's message to my listeners is "my mom was the worst."  I'm fine, my life is great. So I want people to now that you can come out of of it with a really crappy mom and be fantastic."Ms. Chase's next podcast venture is "Decorating By The Book."Lot's of links below for further information for my very special guest, Suzy Chase. Discover Morehttp://www.cookerybythebook.comhttp://www.decoratingbythebook.comhttp://www.thegrooveradio.comhttp://www.suzychase.com "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Feeling conflicted about wanting more money, growth, or freedom as a graphic designer? This episode breaks down the hidden guilt that keeps creative careers stuck.Most graphic designers think guilt is a good thing. That it keeps them humble. Grateful. Grounded.Designer guilt is quietly limiting careers. It shows up when you enjoy your work, when you want more money, when you like your office, your lifestyle, or your success. And instead of owning that progress, many designers apologize for it.They play small. They stop pushing. They convince themselves that wanting more somehow makes them selfish.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we talk about the designer guilt nobody really talks about. Not guilt from doing bad work, but guilt from having a great job, a creative career, and the ambition to want more from it.This isn't about ego. And it's definitely not about hustle culture.It's about recognizing how guilt, comfort, and fear quietly cap your growth as a graphic designer.In this episode, you'll discover:Why graphic designers feel guilty about success, stability, and enjoying their workHow designer guilt quietly limits income, growth, and long-term career opportunitiesWhat it takes to stop apologizing for ambition and start owning the career you have earnedThis episode is a reality check for graphic designers who feel conflicted about success, uncomfortable wanting more, or stuck between gratitude and growth. If you want a sustainable graphic design career without guilt, self-sabotage, or playing small, this conversation will hit close to home.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Graphic designers are sabotaging their own design careers every single day and most of them don't even realize it.“I'm passionate about design.”“I love feedback.”“You know your brand best.”“It's still in progress.”These sound professional. They sound polite. They sound safe. And they're quietly destroying your authority with clients, your credibility as a graphic designer, and your ability to charge higher design fees.What most graphic designers don't want to admit is this: we've trained our design clients to disrespect us.We hide behind buzzwords.We avoid hard conversations.We beg for approval instead of leading.And then we wonder why clients question every design decision, ignore our branding advice, and treat us like order-takers instead of experts.Most designers stay stuck here because it feels comfortable.A few learn how to change how they communicate and start getting real respect.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we break down the most common phrases graphic designers say to clients and what they actually mean. We expose how “nice” language, fake confidence, and vague design talk sabotage client trust, weaken your authority, and hurt your design business.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why “I'm passionate about design” and “I love feedback” weaken your authorityHow poor client communication turns graphic designers into doormatsThe exact mistakes that cause clients to doubt your design and branding decisionsThis isn't about being mean. It's about being honest. It's about learning how to talk to clients like a professional, not like someone hoping to be liked.Because if you keep hiding behind buzzwords and fake professionalism, you'll stay stuck doing endless revisions, undercharging for your work, and wondering why clients never see you as an expert.Your clients aren't the problem.Your language is.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Musicians and songwriters are storytellers. And Jackson has been writing songs since he was about 12 years old. His debut single, "I Love you Mom" is a belated birthday gift to his mom. He wasn't going to record it in his next studio session but his coworkers insisted, and here we are.Over the years and decades of working in the radio industry, I've interviewed hundreds of musicians. Jackson is up there at the top of the list as far as being polite, honest, humble and open about his strengths and weaknesses. I imagine a lot of that comes from his childhood and the fact that his family played a huge role in his life. Family is very important to my guest, not only because they keep you grounded, but he realized at a young age exactly how fortunate he truly was to have a mom , dad and brother that  truly supported each other. He was taught to show respect and appreciation for all that he has and he really is all that!  Jackson talks about "his solid foundation" and how it helps him stayed focused.'Norman's Rare Guitars' in Los Angeles, CA recorded a few videos with Jackson featured playing the guitar with special guest musicians. You should check these videos out on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf89aB_bWXY "Prove You Right"Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL2SRhQf1tI  "Different Kind Of Beautiful" with special guest Tim Pierce on guitarHe's known for being at the right place at the right time but Jackson works hard at his craft because he's so passionate about his music.  Jackson has a great story to share about one of his early performances at the legendary Puckett's in Leipers Fort, TN. For such a young performer, he got some crazy memorable stories to share about all the celebrated artists he's come into contact with.I wish you all the best Jackson!

You THINK you're an expert. Yet clients redesign your work. Question every decision. Run your projects. And somehow… you're surprised?While the industry HAS been slowly devaluing the term 'design', let's stop pretending this “just happened.” Most graphic designers trained clients to treat them like order-takers. You rushed. You skipped strategy. You agreed with everything clients said. You focused on tools instead of thinking. You made yourself easy. Now you're paying for it.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we break down why graphic designers are losing authority with clients and why graphic design is no longer being treated as expert problem-solving. We talk about branding, design careers, client relationships, and what it actually takes to earn trust and respect again.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why “fast and flexible” is killing your credibility and design career • How templates and AI changed how clients see graphic designers • What respected branding and graphic design leaders do differentlyThis isn't about bad clients. It's about bad positioning. If you don't lead, you get managed. If you don't think, you get replaced.

All we need is one special person in our life to change our destiny. When Irina mentioned that her grandmother had taught her to sew, I knew there was something very telling about her maternal role models in her life.  Irina introduces us to her mother, Etya and Grandmother Beyla, who was a seamstress. Unfortunately, Etya's father died when she was a young teen in Russia.Etya was born and lived in Russia till the age of 25. She was one of three children, came from a poor family at a time when it was difficult to be successful in Russia. Etya was the kind of child that "always wanted more than what was available," says my guest about her mom.My guest, Irina was born in Russia  and came to America as a Jewish refugee when 2 1/12 years old.  What is it like to grow up with a mother who always thought of herself first?  "She told me I  that I was worthless and stupid all the time" says Lester of her mother.  "I was always in her way and she was always exhausted by me." Irina says she developed survival skills at a very young age.It wasn't until Beyla, Irina's grandmother, insisted on taking her granddaughter to her place of work as a seamstress or to her home, "where she felt safe, loved and cared for and allowed to be a kid," continues Lester. This is when and how Irina's life started to turn around.  I know that there are many children that never get this lifeline through out their life. Irina got lucky but there certainly are many scars that she wears with frustration, hurt  and humility.Previously divorced and a single mom, Irina struggled to care for her young daughter, so she's familiar with what her mother experienced, but it doesn't mean that you have the right to mistreat and/or abuse your child because you are a narcissist. "The local Yarn Store",  in  large part, is due to the influence her grandmother had on my guest's life. Beyla introduced  Irina  to embroidering and hand stitching and so much more.  Irina says, "my grandmother taught me to appreciate the beauty and the creative process and the functionality of the basics of clothing."  Luckily, Irina inherited her grandmother's sewing machine and is now an avid knitter.Hear the full story when you listen to this episode of SHLTMM. https://thelocalyarnstore.com/https://www.facebook.com/The-Local-Yarn-Store-324924261265048     "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Graphic designers are walking into client meetings confident…and walking out confused, frustrated, and second-guessed. Not because they're bad designers. But because what they were taught has almost nothing to do with what clients actually want. This isn't a design problem. It's a brutal expectation gap that nobody warned you about.Graphic designers hate hearing this, but it needs to be said. Most of us were taught to focus on making things look good, not on making decisions that actually move a business forward. So when clients push back, question everything, or lose confidence, designers assume the client is the problem. They're not. The knowledge gap is.This week on The Angry Designer Podcast, we're calling out the massive disconnect between graphic design education and real-world client expectations. We break down the skills both schools or online videos gloss over, the ones experienced designers learn the hard way, and why clients assume you already know this stuff the moment money is on the table.In this episode you'll discover- Why “good design” isn't enough anymore and never was- The skills experienced designers use to earn trust that schools never teach- How clients judge designers in the first five minutes of a conversationThis episode isn't about school. It's about whether you evolve or get stuck. Because clients aren't looking for more design. They're looking for someone who can think, decide, and lead. And if you can't do that, they'll find someone who can.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

'The Freedom Flights' from Cuba to the United States took place between 1965 and 1973. The Cuban Government agreed to allow America to transport fleeing Cuban families, with relatives in the US,  to Miami. In 1967, Maria, her brother  and her parents were among  the hundreds of thousands that fled to start a new life in America. Because the family was sponsored by a New Jersey business man, they settled there to begin their new life. Maria was 16-17 years old when she came to the United States and according to her son, "considers herself an American." Joe insists "my mother is old school and worked very hard through out her life.  She went to school for as long as her family could pay for it and then went on to work in factories where she was treated terribly as an immigrant."Both of Joe's parent's family's are originally from Spain, even though his mother had been living in Cuba.  Joe's father, a ship mechanic and hard worker came to the US and met Maria.   They married when Maria was 19 years old and started a family.Joe repeatedly mentions through out the interview that as a child and even today,  "I never wanted to disappoint my mother." Both of his parents worked very hard to give Joe and his brother everything they wanted. All Maria asked of her boys was to treat others they way you  want to be treated. "Mom encouraged us to do what ever made us happy" says Pardavila. "I'm very grateful for all those little life lessons that were taught to me, whether through osmosis or verbal. It king of stuck to me and it's a part of my life for life."Joe is the Director  of Podcasts for Advantage Forbes Books as well as the host of the podcast "Uncertain Times, Survive And Thrive In Business." He's also written the book "Good Listen," where he shares his experience and background as a producer/talent for the 'Scott and Todd Morning Show' on WPLJ FM, one of New York City iconic radio shows for 2 decades. He came to understand that he had many "soft skills" he could share and apply with others regarding great communication tools, regardless of what medium you choose to apply them.The Freedom Flights were an unusual instance of cooperation between the US and Cuban governments. During the Camarioca boatlift in 1965, Castro opened up the Cuban port of Camarioca for the departure of Cubans with relatives in the US (excluding men of military age). The number of boats and fleeing Cubans was so great that the boatlift overwhelmed the US Coast Guard. In an effort to support refugees and quell chaos, the US agreed with Cuba to finance the Freedom Flights, which transported Cuban refugees with US relatives to Miami twice daily, five times per week between 1965 and 1973. The Freedom Flights would bring about 300,000 Cubans to the US and cost approximately twelve million dollars. Although Castro initially agreed to the program, Cubans who signed up faced harassment and humiliation before their departure and property confiscation after.

Graphic Designer burnout is killing careers. And the industry is lying about why!Designers are crying burnout, quitting jobs, questioning their talent, and walking away from design entirely. Not because they hate graphic design. But because they've been told the wrong story about  designer burnout and they keep treating the wrong problem.Here's the part most Graphic Designers don't realize: burnout advice trains you to blame yourself instead of the industry. It convinces designers they're lazy. Weak. Undisciplined. Bad at boundaries. So they journal. Meditate. Take breaks. Then they walk right back into the same broken systems that burned them out in the first place.This week, in this solo episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, Massimo breaks down why Graphic Designer burnout is being completely misdiagnosed and why most burnout advice actually makes things worse. This is not about motivation. It is not about passion. And it is definitely not about grinding harder. It is about identifying the real causes of design burnout and calling out the industry problems nobody wants to touch.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why graphic designer burnout is not a personal failure and never was- The three types of burnout designers confuse and why that confusion keeps them stuck- How the design industry protects broken systems by pushing useless burnout adviceThis episode is not here to make you feel better. It is here to make you see clearer. Because if you keep calling this graphic designer burnout without questioning the industry behind it, you will either resent design or leave it entirely. And neither one is necessary.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Kamille learned at a young age that not many businesses were interested in hiring a visually impaired employee. Oh yes, she presented very well on the phone with prospective employers, but when they saw her in person, the rejection came fast.  She didn't even get a chance to prove them wrong.Again, Jackie her mom, didn't treat her blind daughter any differently than her other children. She had to learn the ways of the world at a very young age. Kamille would be the stronger for it. Kamille shared that her mother "NEVER let me use the word "can't," and that she taught her daughter "to advocate for herself."Kamille Richardson was born blind but never lacked a vision for a bright future. An author, motivational speaker, and founder of iSee Technologies, Inc., she has overcome various obstacles to build a life and career she loves. Not only is she an advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, but she's constantly breaking corporate norms, shattering expectations, and reminding companies that diversity fuels business growth.Here's how Richardson fought against the odds to build her own company—and create more space for inclusion in some of the world's top companies.Raised to Believe in HerselfFrom a young age, Richardson knew she was different—but was raised not to see her disability as a weakness. “My mother never let me use the word ‘can't,'” Richardson recalls. Because her mother taught her to advocate for herself, growing up blind never deterred her dreams.“I was allowed to dream big,” she shares. “I always knew, even when I was younger, that I was going to overcome barriers in the best way I knew how. It wasn't always easy, of course, but I was determined.”Showing Up AuthenticallyWhen Richardson started applying for jobs, she received numerous interview invitations. However, a pattern quickly emerged.“They would see me, and they'd see that white cane in my hand—and the temperature would drop about 20 degrees,” she shares.*She looked great on paper, but once employers realized she was blind, their perception shifted.“Suddenly that warm greeting I got earlier became a cold conversation, and it always ended with the ‘Don't call us, we'll call you,'” she says. “The calls and emails never came.”Tired of rejection, she decided to say yes to herself. “I knew I had the power to hire me,” Richardson explains.*Her determination only grew as she stepped into the business world as a blind, Black entrepreneurial woman.*At first, she believed that fitting into corporate norms was the only way to succeed. “I thought I had to be very corporate, buttoned-up, and wear my power suit,” she admits. “But that's not me. When I tried to show up like that—stiff and stuffy—I wasn't comfortable in my own skin, and the doors still weren't opening.”Only when Richardson embraced her true self did things change.“I showed up with my big curly hair, my big earrings, and my colorful outfits—that's when people started seeing my personality first,” she shares.Building Her Own EmpireA self-described tech-savvy individual, Richardson adapted quickly to e-readers when the iPhone first launched them. Soon after, she founded iSee Technologies with the goal of helping her visually impaired and blind peers regain independence—particularly through employment.But her clients often faced the same rejections she once did.“I said to myself, ‘I need to evolve iSee Technologies to become part of the solution,'” Richardson says. “I decided to use my voice and my platform to go in and teach companies how to be more inclusive in their hiring and workplace culture—so when they see disability, they don't immediately reject it.”Today, iSee Technologies is a thriving business that offers people development consulting, accessibility services, and workforce wellness training to companies and government agencies. Their client list includes The Walt Disney Company, BASF, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Kraft, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.Inclusion Is Good for BusinessHiring people from diverse backgrounds and abilities enhances innovation and team performance.“The biggest misconception is that accommodations for people with disabilities are expensive,” Richardson explains. “But 59% of accommodations cost nothing at all—and the other 41% cost less than $500.”Many businesses fail to see the value of disabled employees simply because they don't understand it.“We are some of the most creative and innovative team members you'll ever have,” she says. “We live in a world not designed for us, so we have to be the ultimate problem solvers.”-One of iSee Technologies' corporate clients saw this potential and hired Richardson to conduct training to empower their teams to create more accessible environments. As a result, employees felt more validated and respected—and more committed to their work.“And of course, when you have more engaged employees, that's definitely going to help your bottom line.”  7) Social Media Links/Website:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/kamille.richardson.9INSTAGRAM: @kamillealia,https://www.instagram.com/kamillealia/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/livewithvision/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@lakilaj?lang=en  OTHER: http://www.kamillerichardson.com/WEBSITE: https://www.iseetechinc.com/WEBSITE: https://kamillerichardson.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Graphic Designers didn't struggle in 2025 because of one tool, one trend, or one bad client. They struggled because everything crashed together at once.AI accelerated expectations. Tools skipped fundamentals. Brands made public mistakes. Speed replaced thinking. And for the first time, the industry stopped hiding who actually understands design and who doesn't.This episode is not a prediction. It's a year in review.This week on The Angry Designer Podcast, we break down The Big Design Crash of 2025 and what it revealed about graphic design, the design industry, and designers themselves. Not from headlines. From a full year of real conversations, real mistakes, and real patterns we could no longer ignore.This is about what got called out, what still works, and why designers who understand strategy are positioned to win while others continue chasing shortcuts.In this episode, you'll discover:- Why AI didn't replace graphic designers but exposed weak fundamentals and lazy processes- How speed-first design culture lowered standards and why that shift is now permanent- What brand failures, tool overload, and mindset gaps revealed about the future of graphic design careersIf you want to understand where graphic design actually stands after 2025, why fundamentals matter more than ever, and how designers can move forward without becoming replaceable, this episode connects the dots clearly.No panic. No BS. Just the truth about what this year revealed and why it matters now.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

This was the first email response SHLTMM received from Karina stating, "my mom and I have always been really close. She has always been super supportive of me wanting to pursue music. She always knew along with her late father that I would grow up to be musical because as a baby I would hum and sing songs before I was able to speak. I've been really blessed with great parents who both attend nearly every one of my performances since I first started performing. I'm very lucky to have a very supportive and close family."If truly was effortless speaking with Norma and Karina. Norma shared stories of her mother and father, both Armenian and both very present in her life, especially before and after Karina was born. As I mentioned earlier, Karina was a preemie baby and Norma was bed ridden in the hospital for a number of weeks before her daughter was born. Norma's mother , Karina's grandmother instilled confidence in her daughter and helped her stay strong during the tough times. Again, the pediatric doctor's told Norma that her baby may not make it to certain milestones, yet Norma was confident because of her mother's endless support and wisdom. MANHATTAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC:https://www.msmnyc.edu/livestream/vartanian-2025/CLASSIC LYRICS ARTS:https://www.classiclyricarts.org/karina-vartanian-berkshiresRecent PerformancesBIO:KARINA VARTANIAN is a recent graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, where she earned her Bachelor of Music and received the Josephine C.

 This is the email Melissa wrote to me after I had asked a little bit about the facts of she and her mother's relationship:Dr. Melissa Bird, "My relationship with my mom was complicated when I was younger. My father committed suicide when I was 6 and it broke my mothers heart. My childhood was chaotic and often violent, and yet my mom loved me the best she could with her shattered heart. I was a rebellious teenager and angry about so many things. It wasn't until 2017 when I was on a retreat in Scotland that I realized that my mom was a broken hearted woman, like so many of us who have had our lives shattered when our partners break our hearts. My mom's loving and compassionate soul is why I am the woman I have become today. Rather than seeing her as weak, as I did when I was younger, I realize that my mom is strong and powerful. She has shown me that even through the largest of heartbreaks, one can still carry on and make one's way in the world. I am the leader I am today because my mom always supported my crazy ideas, my drive to succeed, and even when I tried to push her away, my mom never gave up on loving me. She is one of my best friends and a true hero to me." My mom was adopted and my grandmother shaped who she and I both are. That might be another thread you want to tug at and if we don't have time, I know how fast 30 minutes goes because of my own podcast, that might be a different interview you want to do with her.My name is Dr. Melissa Bird and I am so glad you are here. I am a lay preacher, public speaker, author and podcaster.-I inspire personal understanding through contemplation, help people use their intuition to change their lives and communities, and encourage the healing of grief and loss through spiritual connection.​-I live and work in Corvallis, Oregon where I can often be found drinking Earl Gray tea with heavy cream while reading and waxing poetic about the beauty of life and love.*If you are looking to connect with an amazing and phenomenal human, who loves inspiring change in our lives and our ocmunities, the you are in the right place.*As a facilitator for groups and individuals, I push you to do the hard work, turn towards things that scare you and remind you that humor and love are the keys for transformation.​Melissa is very direct, "I cut right to the chase and challenge you to show up as the VERY BEST version of yourself. Whether it is through a 1:1 divination session or in a group of colleagues or friends, what I am able to do through my teaching gives you the hope you need in a world that feels so challenging and difficult. Socialwww.drmelissabird.com/www.facebook.com/birdgirl1001www.linkedin.com/in/dr-melissa-bird-016640199/https://www.instagram.com/birdgirl1001/https://www.instagram.com/christinavlarsenFollow Melissa's run for Congress at@melissabirdforcongressHere is Melissa's website:https://www.drmelissabird.com/ Here is the link for my book:https://store.bookbaby.com/book/love-notes-and-prayers "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Most graphic designers think they are improving simply because they are working. More projects. More hours. More hustle. But the reality is that many designers are quietly declining. Their design skills are getting weaker, their creativity is fading, and their career is stuck on repeat without them even noticing.This is the silent danger no one talks about. Not AI. Not competition. Not bad clients. It is Autopilot. Graphic designers fall into the same patterns, use the same solutions, make the same decisions, and suddenly wonder why their work feels flat and their career is stuck.But what if the real threat to your design career is not what you are doing wrong, but what you have stopped doing altogether?This week on The Angry Designer podcast, we unpack the hidden decline happening in the design industry and why so many graphic designers fall into Skill Death without realizing it. This is the reality check creatives need if they want to stay relevant in a world moving faster than ever.In this episode, you'll discover:- Why Autopilot destroys creative growth and keeps graphic designers trapped in a rut- The early warning signs of Skill Death and how to rebuild your design skills - The habits top designers use to stay sharp, competitive, and keep their careers moving forwardThis isn't about being dramatic. It is about being honest. Because the designers who survive are the ones who challenge themselves, question their habits, and refuse to settle for repetition disguised as improvement. If you want your design skills to grow and your career to thrive, this is the episode you can't afford to skip.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

I CAN ONLY TRY TO IMAGINE THE SHOCK AND SURPRISE THAT DR. DALEO'S PARENT'S FELT WHEN THEIR DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL DECLARED HER "MENTALLY RETARDED" BASED ON TEST RESULTS FROM RECENT TESTS. THANK GOODNESS HER MOM AND DAD HAD THE WHERE WITH ALL, FINANCIAL ABILITY AND GOOD COMMON SENSE TO HAVE HER TESTED BY A PROFESSIONAL. DR. ROXIE WAS THEN OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED AS BEING DYSLEXIC. ACCORDING TO THE OXFORD LANGUAGES DICTIONARY, THIS IS THEIR DEFINITION OF DYSLEXIA-"a condition of neurodevelopmental origin that mainly affects the ease with which a person reads, writes, and spells, typically recognized as a specific learning disorder in children."  DR. ROXIE EXPLAINS HOW "THIS EVENT CAUSED SO MUCH ANXIETY. IF NOT FOR MY MOTHER AND FATHER, ROXANNE WOULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN A SPECIAL SCHOOL OR WORSE, SHE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN LOST IN THE SHUFFLE. WITH AN INCREDIBLE WILL TO LEARN AND HER PARENTS ENCOURAGEMENT, "THEY HELPED THEIR DAUGHTER GROW WITH A COMMITMENT  NOT ONLY FOR SELF DISCOVERY BUT ALSO USE OF HER OWN AGENCY." THEY TAUGHT THEIR DAUGHTER TO USE MENTAL SKILLS OF VISIONING AND TAUGHT HER HOW TO ACHIEVE HER GOALS IN LIFE."SHE WAS COMPLETELY PRESENT TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF US," REFERRING TO HERSELF AND HER TWO SIBLINGS. "SHE KNEW TO TAKE US ONE ON ONE AND NOT TOGETHER," DR ROXIE EXPLAINS. HER MOM CALLED IT "LOVING TIME."THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THIS STORY. ANNE, MY GUEST'S MOTHER ALLOWED HER DAUGHTER TO EXPERIENCE LIFE WITH HER EDUCATIONAL STRUGGLES, YET ALL THE LESSONS HER MOTHER TAUGHT HER, DR. DALEO IS NOW HELPING MANY MANY CHILDREN EXPERIENCING SIMILAR LEARNING DIFFICULTIES. DR. DALEO HAD A VERY LOVING AND POWERFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH HER MOTHER. ANN WAS AN ARTIST, A SEAMSTRESS AND A WONDERFUL TEACHER. ANOTHER ONE OF HER FAVORITE SAYINGS WAS " A THING DONE BY HALF IS NEVER DONE RIGHT.  FINISH WHAT YOU START WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT."ROXANNE AND I DISCUSS  ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND TECHNIQUES FOR LEARNING AND FINDING BALANCE IN LIFE FOR CHILDREN, INCLUDING MEDITATION, VISUALIZATION, ETC.THERE IS SO MUCH MORE RELATABLE INFORMATION TO THIS STORY. A MOTHER WHO WAS ABLE TO STAY HOME AND CARVE OUT ONE-ON-ONE TIME WITH HER DAUGHTERS. AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM DR DALEO IS "THAT IF YOU FAIL AT SOMETHING AND TRY AGAIN, IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD ABANDON IT. THIS SENSE OF FORTITUDE AND STICK-TO-ITIVENESS IS A LOST ART."NOTES FROM DR. DALEO PhD:I help children and parents reduce anxiety naturally using expressive arts, mind-body tools, and evidence-based stress-reduction practices.As a Harvard-trained specialist with over 25 years of experience, my work bridges psychology, expressive arts, and integrative wellness. I've supported thousands of families, educators, and practitioners seeking non-drug, practical ways to calm the nervous system and strengthen emotional resilience.My mission is simple: raise a generation of calm, confident children—naturally.I create programs, workshops, and guided experiences that give families proven tools to navigate anxiety, boost self-regulation, and reconnect to creativity and inner wisdom. My approach blends neuroscience, storytelling, imagery, and somatic practices to help children feel safe, seen, and empowered.I work with:• Parents seeking natural strategies for anxious children• Educators, counselors, and child-focused practitioners• Organizations committed to child mental health + wellness• Families looking for expressive arts–based tools to thriveIf you're dedicated to the wellbeing of children and want to integrate mind-body practices into daily life, you'll love this episode! Hummingbird youtube video for kids:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBmtpqqp63EThe most common reaction to the good things that happen in life is to try to hold on, hold on tighter, making every effort to have that good stay and wall out the bad stuff.Try as we may, we don't want anything bad to happen to us -whatever “bad” is! And-if that bad thing does happen, we'll say:”This is a very bad, horrible, terrible thing!”Rather than, suspending judgement and saying to yourself: “This is interesting...could be bad, could be good.” In this video, you learn how to have a soft touch to all emotions in your life. INCLUDES A SONG with a catchy tune and rhyme for easy recall and learning.IF YOU GO TO DR.

My guest wrote to me saying "even as a child , my mother had me researching at the library and writing essays on various topics! I went on to pursue higher education and become a teacher, and after retiring from a successful and rewarding career, I went on to write an award winning spiritual fiction and a prominently endorsed 5-book series (in addition to contributing to numerous anthology books."  Dr. Foderaro continues, "I am passionate about handling life's challenges with goodness, compassion, honesty and love. I talk about surviving Family Trauma which initially led to being open to the Universe's signs and synchronicities, and then eventually led to my writing to heal and becoming an author.From a young age, Marni's mother, Elizabeth Ann, taught her daughter many lessons. Often these recurring lessons were meant to instill creativity, discipline and motivation, all skills that Marni says were helpful when becoming a teacher. For example, Marni shares the story of when she was a child and wanted her first ten speed bicycle and many more.  Her mother was steadfast and had specific reasoning as to how Marni could get that bike. You'll have to listen to the show to get all the details. Just so you know, both  Marni and her mother were writers and teachers."My mother was a lover of words and extremely witty and intelligent. She grew up in Florida and North Carolina. She got her   Masters Degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in an era and area of the United States  which typically  was unheard of for women, continues Marni. Before completing her Masters, Elizabeth Ann was a high school English teacher in Broward Co., Florida and went on to teach English at Stetson University at DeLand, Florida." Marni is convinced that her mom had tremendous family support and encouragement as a young lady, otherwise "there's no way she could have achieved all that she did" reflects Dr. Foderaro.Marni has many wonderful stories to share about her mother and how she encouraged and supported her as a child and how her mother still influences her today. " I know my mom was a huge part of who I am."Foderaro admits that her upbringing was unconventional compared to her peers. It was the 60's and she and her two younger brothers had plenty of freedom. The kids were often on their own, left to raise themselves, yet plenty of time to be creative. Her father was a college professor. "The freedom had pros and cons", says Foderaro, "I didn't get guidance for many things, it was bittersweet. I was often striving for structure and discipline and I grew up being very organized which helped me with my teaching career." More from Marni's Bio:Marni's life was forever changed after experiencing numerous trauma-induced STEs-Spiritually Transformative Encounters. Marni's 2020 Best Books Award Winning Spiritual fiction “God Came to My Garage Sale” is prominently endorsed by James Redfield, best selling author of “The Celestine Prophecy” series of books and founding directors of IANDS (International Association for Near Death Studies). Marni's latest prominently endorsed 5-book series is entitled: “True Deceit False Love” addresses Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse, Parental Alienation and Intergenerational Family Trauma.Marni is a lover of animals, nature, music and world travel who handles life's challenges with love and compassion. She values honesty, integrity, equality and goodness and prays for peace on earth. In addition to her speaking engagements and various writing endeavors, Foderaro is a contributing author to numerous anthology books, including: “The Last Breath,” “The Evolution of Echo,” “We're All In This Together: Embrace One Another,” “The Ulti-MUTT Book for Dog Lovers” and “bLU Talks Presents” (Business, Life and the Universe.) In January 2022 Marni was inducted into the Bestselling Authors International Organization.

Every year designers obsess over the same recycled “Logo Design Trends” and every year companies panic, rebrand, and burn piles of money trying to look relevant. Here's the truth no trend report will ever tell you. Trends aren't the future of logo design. They're a giant red flag that a brand is confused, inconsistent, or unwilling to fix the real problems underneath.And here's the part most graphic designers will hate. The only reason trends keep winning is because too many designers keep thinking trends equal good design. Most of us would make the exact same mistakes these companies do because we chase aesthetics instead of understanding strategy. Most designers follow. Only a few actually design. Which one are you? In this weeks solo episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we expose why logo design trends keep distracting designers from the work that actually matters. We dig into why timeless logos survive for decades, why brands keep running toward unnecessary redesigns, and how you can stop reacting to what is popular and start building logos and careers that can't be replaced.In this episode you'll discover:- Why trend chasing keeps designers stuck as order takers instead of problem solvers- What timeless designers do differently and how it gives them unbeatable career leverage- How to spot when a rebrand is strategic and when it is a pointless, expensive panic moveThis episode is not about trends. It is about you. Because if you think following what is fashionable will make you valuable, you're already on the wrong side of graphic design. The HUGE opportunity is right in front of you. Designers who think deeper, question harder, and design with purpose are the ones who build logos that last, brands that matter, and careers that actually go somewhere.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

BEFORE TURNING TWENTY, MY GUEST EXPERIENCED AND INDULGED IN MORE IN THE LA AREA, THAN MOST  PEOPLE IN A LIFETIME. MUSICIAN, CREATIVE, STORYTELLER AND WRITER, JENNIFER FINCH, WAS REMOVED FROM HER ADOPTIVE MOTHER'S HOME AT 11 YEARS OLD. SHE BECAME ASTUTE AT RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME BY THE AGE OF 13. AND AT 14, SHE GOT INTO DRUGS AND PUNK ROCK. SHE ADORED HER MOTHER WHO STRUGGLED WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUESAND JENNIFER SAYS “IT WAS A TIME WHEN WOMEN WERE PUNISHED FOR EXPLORING OTHER WAYS TO LIVE THEIR LIVES OUTSIDE OF THE NORM.” JENNIFER FINCH IS THE BASS PLAYER AND VOCALIST IN THE SEMINAL PUNK BAND “L7.”    L7 MADE THEIR TELEVISION NETWORK DEBUT ON THE DAVID LETTERMAN SHOW IN 1992, THEY  HIT THE TOP 10 MUSIC CHART IN THE SAME YEAR. OCTOBER 2, 2025, L7 CELEBRATED THEIR 40TH ANNIVERSARY AT THE BELASCO THEATRE IN LOS ANGELES. TODAY, WITH DECADES OF LIFE EXPERIENCE UNDER HER BELT,JENNIFER LOVES EXPLORING BIG IDEAS, RECOVERY, HOW TO MAKE CHANGE IN THE WORLD, SELF DEVELOPMENT,ART, SPIRITUALITY AND MORE. It's was such a pleasure meeting Jennifer. She"s real and down to earth. She's experienced a lot of life, especially at a young age and today she can look back with acceptance and wise reflection.My guest was born at the Salvation Army center for Unwed Mothers in Los Angeles. As an adoptee, she has a wonderful perspective on family. She shares "family is built on love and not necessarily anything else." She spent a lot of time as a small baby and young child with other adopted children. Her parents told her that "some babies come from mommy's tummies and some do not. Family is family." Being adopted doesn't define Jennifer. Her parents split up after seven years. Her mother was experiencing mental wellness issues, social pressure issues and Jennifer was exposed to extreme behavior. Eventually, Jennifer did find her biological mother and her half sisters. "Curiosity, being open minded and humble" are Jennifer's super powers. "Sandy's resentment," Jennifer believes, "actually helped me to become more and have more acceptance and meet people where they're at instead of forcing narratives of how they should behave."Sandy gave Jennifer many gifts, including the gift of understanding, compassion, the gift of wonderment, life is nuanced and that life isn't always convenient." Throughout her childhood/life she learned the importance of how to maintain friendships and the significance of showing up for other people.Jennifer has been sober for thirty five years. FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/jenniferpreciousfinch/INSTAGRAM: @jenniferfinchTHREADS: @jenniferfinchLINKEDIN:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferfinch/X: @jennifinchBLUESKY: @jenniferfinchOTHER:TIKTOK: privateWEBSITE:www.jenniferfinch.comSUBSTACK:https://substack.com/@jenniferfinch?utm_source=explore_sidebar  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Dr. Greg Hammer, is a Former Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, Physician, Best-Selling Author, and Mindfulness Expert.It was a wonderful conversation as he shared stories of his grandmother and her love for art and he declaration about using proper english grammar. Greg shares how he inherited  that same consciousness as to being respectful to the english language.A Best Selling Author with an eye on being active and healthy, his recent book is about adults, caregivers, teachers helping teenagers reduce their stress levels by using his meditative technique incorporating Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention and Non judgement in a 3-4 minute daily meditation that anyone can do. He explains and walks us through a short meditation during this conversation.It's important for all of us to have balance in our lives-mental and physical balance and peace.It was a real pleasure speaking and meeting Dr. Greg Hammer.architectInformation about his most recent book: A Mindful Teen: Helping Today's Teenagers Thrive through Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non judgement Topic: Coping Strategies for Youth this National Suicide Prevention MonthTalk Points: Destigmatization is the key - Suicide is preventable through awareness, education, and accessible resources.The more we discuss mental health in productive ways, the better primed we will be to catch the warning signs before they progress into something serious.Openly discussing mental health encourages youth to initiate those conversations for themselves and ask for help should they need it.Today's teens face stressors that older generations never imaginedSocial media, smartphones, and the internet – and AIAfter-effects of COVID lockdown and isolationThe great political divide, affecting relationships in and outside of familiesIncreasingly competitive college admission and tuitionThe economic pressures their families faceThe Role of Parents and Parenting  - Cultivating Compassion, Forgiveness, and EmpathyThe Risks and How to Spot Them*Early Detection can save your child's life - The warning signs that someone is struggling with their mental health can easily be overlooked (especially amongst teenagers).*The most common symptoms of depression and anxiety (i.e. changes in behavior and mood, irritability, changes in sleep habits, changes in eating habits, withdrawing socially) are also commonly associated with the standard growing pains and hormonal shifts of adolescence. So, how do you know the difference?If something feels off with your child, the best thing you can do is ask.Sit down with your child and have a gentle, but honest conversation about your concerns. You may have to speak with them multiple times before they're ready to open up. Trust your instincts and be gently persistent.Consult a Mental Health Professional: There is no shame in asking for help for both teens and adults.Mindfulness at Home - Encouraging children to practice mindfulness daily can help build their mental and emotional resilience and protect their mental health in the short and long term.*Mindfulness can be a great tool to help teens rewire their brains away from the negativity on which they dwell. It can neutralize their tendency to ruminate over the past, often leading to depression, and to overthinking the future, creating fear and anxiety.The GAIN Method - Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Nonjudgment are the pillars of happiness for teens - and for the rest of us.Website:https://amindfulteen.com/Facebook: @GregHammerMD; https://www.facebook.com/greghammermd/Instagram: @greghammermd; https://www.instagram.com/greghammermd/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-hammer-02b20422/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Picasso once said, “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” It wasn't just a quote, it was a warning. Because every great designer, from Rand to Scher to Draplin, has stolen their way to mastery. The only difference is that they knew how to do it right.Here's what most designers don't want to admit... we all steal. Fonts, layouts, grids, styles, everything you create is built on someone else's foundation. The problem isn't theft. The problem is that too many designers steal without understanding what they're taking. Lazy designers copy the surface. Great designers steal the soul.This week, on The Angry Designer Podcast, we dive into the controversial art of creative theft, and why it's not a crime but a craft. From dissecting the difference between imitation and transformation to learning how to absorb influences like a pro, we're showing you how to steal smarter and design better.In this episode, you'll discover:-The unspoken rules of creative theft every designer needs to know- Why copying can be the fastest way to build mastery- How to transform influence into something that's undeniably yoursDesign education isn't about learning to being original. It's about understanding what came before you and how to make it yours. You can keep pretending your work came from thin air, or you can embrace the truth: the best designers are thieves with taste, intent, and vision.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

This is the story of a brave and hard working veteran who had to overcome sorrow, pain and life's hard knocks since he was four years old. Yet he was determined to find a way to a path of balance and clarity in life. Rob mentioned that by the time he was a teen, he felt that he'd rather die overseas than stay living with his father and stepmother. Rob served his country for seven years. After attempting to take his life and being assaulted by a senior officer, he decided that it was time to retire. Insomnia was chronic and conventional treatments weren't helping with Rob's mental health issues  Rob decided to head to Asia and more or less loose himself in the culture, nature and face his demons. He explains, "Instead of waiting, I set out on a journey that changed everything.I lived with tribes in the jungles of the Philippines, spent three months as the disciple of a Hindu monk in the Himalayas, trained under a Shaolin master in China, and later joined a troop of spear fishermen in Boracay who hunted in the deep daily to feed their community during the pandemic.The lessons I gathered became the foundation of my book "Unfiltered Wisdom," a raw look at resilience, self-discovery, and mental health from the inside out." His book, "Unfiltered Wisdom," is the result of re-examining himself, his pain, sorrow, sickness and anger. Rob's first contact with me was this email:"I lost my mother when I was four years old on Christmas Eve in 1987 so I didn't really have much of a relationship with her throughout my life because she was gone.However, my father remarried, and I had a stepmother. We had a very complicated relationship, but she did really help my dad get himself back in order and gave us a way better life than my siblings before he had so I'm definitely grateful for her efforts and sacrifice in that regard.I'm interested in talking about my mom but again I don't really know too much about my real mother other than stories that I was told. My stepmother was the only mother that I knew and I'm comfortable to talk about her, but our relationship was very mixed with a lot of love, but I also experienced quite a bit of abuse so I have mixed emotions about it. It might make a good content to expose and talk about the idea of men having a mother wound.This typically drives them to be adverse to committed relationships and to be overly promiscuous because they don't want the risk of being vulnerable with a woman due to their unhealed mother issues.TURN YOURSELF AROUND FROM BEING A VICTIM AND A PLACE OF WOUNDS AND TURNING IT INTO WISDOM, DEVELOPMENT, HOPE AND PEACE AND ACTUALLY BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE."Rob shared so much with me including his journey throughout Asia, he shared "I lived with tribes in the jungles of the Philippines, spent three months as the disciple of a Hindu monk in the Himalayas, trained under a Shaolin master in China, and later joined a troop of spear fishermen in Boracay who hunted in the deep daily to feed their community during the pandemic."The lessons I gathered became the foundation of my book Unfiltered Wisdom, a raw look at resilience, self-discovery, and mental health from the inside out.https://unfiltered-wisdom.com/the-book/ I admire Rob tremendously for all the work her's done to bring himself inner peace. It's an important lesson, that sometimes following conventional protocol for healing isn't beneficial to all. It's clear that bravery and desperation help us face our illnesses/issues but honesty is the most important thing-being honest with yourself and allow others to help.Social Media Links / Website:            •           Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/robert.greene.799034            •           Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/un_filtered_wisdom/            •           LinkedIn:https://id.linkedin.com/in/unfilteredwisdom            •           Website:www.unfiltered-wisdom.com "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

As a child, riding, tinkering/repairing bicycles were just a few hobbies Mike enjoyed. But the woodworking project is beneficial for so many reasons. Yes it's fun but it truly helps children and adults with distracted minds become more grounded and able to focus.  Children collaborate and help one another, improve their math skills, use their hands, learn to measure and cut wood and so much more. But it was Mike's mother, Linda, who really concentrated on helping Mike with his OCD/ADHD.  He says, "she was very instrumental in trying to keep me active. It was very hard for her to see this disruptive behavior in her own child." Mike agrees that he was dealing with Impulse control negative attention issues.Education was very important to Linda. She completed her PHD when Mike was a teen.  She was determined to help Mike figure out what interested him, what his strengths and attributes were and decided to concentrate on those gifts. Linda's grandfather had been a Rabbi in Ukraine. Her father died when she was in high school and mother had dyslexia and had never learned to read or write, so all of her past, played a major role in her passion for a solid education. She was determined to help her son overcome his educational challenges.Linda got married at 19. In order to become a lab technician, she got her Batchelor's degree in Science and Medical Technology. "To show how important education was to her, she went back to school got her Masters Degree and then  in her 40's got a PHD in "Immigration History." Mike explains, "growing  up Jewish in Minnesota, was very rare. It was very interesting to see these immigration patterns that she lived through and seeing similar patterns repeating again today. Later on LInda started a historical society to study Jewish Immigration in the Upper Midwest.Knowing her son's interests helped Linda come up with the idea for Mike to help her when she was cataloging information from those of her Jewish community who had passed away. Family members had donated diaries and personal information. These tasks were very detail oriented and she knew that was one of her son's many strengths. He created a useful database.Contact Information for Maplewoodshop:Email address:mike@maplewoodshop.comFacebook -@MaplewoodshopNJhttps://www.facebook.com/MaplewoodshopNJ/LinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/company/maplewoodshop/Instagram -@maplewoodshophttps://www.instagram.com/maplewoodshop/?hl=enTwitter-@MaplewoodshopNJhttps://twitter.com/MaplewoodshopNJThreads -@maplewoodshophttps://www.threads.net/@maplewoodshopYoutube -@maplewoodshop727https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpPIu2juABNjm_2ZoMjrx4wTiktok -@maplewoodshophttps://www.tiktok.com/@maplewoodshophttps://www.maplewoodshop.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Mike Delevante recently released his debut album, September Days, on Truly Handmade Records, a label founded by Guy Clark LLC's board of directors (including Grammy-winning author, producer, and filmmaker Tamara Saviano, who fell in love with the album at first listen). Not many artists release their first solo record two decades after their debut album but that's the case for Delevante, who spent the 1990s recording and touring as half of trailblazing Americana duo the Delevantes with his older brother Bob. The duo's acclaimed releases on Rounder and Capitol records in that era made a splash — Long About That Time (Rounder) was the first #1 debut album on Gavin's newly created Americana radio chart —and found them touring with like-minded artists including John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Levon Helm and others. So, while it's hardly the first musical endeavor for Delevante, September Days is an important step for a musician who'd never put the spotlight directly on himself, until now. Produced by Joe Pisapia, whose production credits include work with Ben Folds, Guster, k.d. lang and many others, the album's shimmering guitars and instantly memorable melodies recall some of the 90's best guitar pop artists (Matthew Sweet, Freedy Johnston, Ron Sexsmith, The Jayhawks and more).  That decision was a long time coming. The Delevante brothers were New Jersey natives who've made Nashville their home since the ‘90s, along with frequent collaborator and co-producer, Garry Tallent of the E Street Band. Mike had shifted gears, focusing on visual arts. Both he and his brother had studied art in college, with Bob also turning more toward visual projects in the 2000s, but Bob had also made three solo records along the way. It was Tallent who got the brothers back into music. He'd enlisted them to sing on his 2019 solo album More Like Me, then invited them to be part of a live show he was doing in Asbury Park with Southside Johnny and special guest Bruce Springsteen. They had such a blast that “I felt myself getting pulled back into it,” Mike says. The result was 2021's A Thousand Turns. Its instantly appealing melodies and trademark sibling harmonies were a welcome return to form for the duo, whose mix of country and rock flowed naturally from brothers who came of age in New Jersey before moving to Nashville.https://www.instagram.com/michaeldelevante/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/mike.delevante/https://mikedelevante.bandcamp.com/album/september-days"Still on the Run" - https://www.fbrmusic.com/@treymitchellphotography @feeding_the_senses_unsensoredfacebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848www.threads.net/@treymitchellphotographyftsunashville@gmail.com

Robert is the middle child of nine, five girls and four boys. Because of his mother's health, the family packed up and moved to California from Minnesota. The warm, sunny weather of southern California helped with his mom's chronic pneumonia.  But the many lakes in Minnesota played a crucial role in Robert's  relationship with his mom, one that he'll never forget.Robert says, my mother had a sunny personality, really cheerful. She looked at real estate as a matchmaker-match people together with a beautiful home."Joan lost her mom, Robert's maternal grandmother, when she was four years old, so she never really knew how to cook. So she didn't have the traditional family recipes to fall back on each night.  However, she had a solid positive outlook and she truly knew her son really well.When asked if he and his siblings had plenty of freedom and were off on their own and knew when to come home for dinner Robert says "everyone else kind of new when to come home for dinner. I was kind of the devious one."  The thing that hurt him more than anything was when his mom would say "I'm very disappointed in you." To this day Robert says " I didn't want to disappoint my mother."Believe it or not, it was Robert's mom who busted him for shoplifting as a young boy. Robert says "I was a master shoplifter when I was a kid. "I was always hungry" continues Boog. But my mom eventually asked me for the receipts. she knew and put a stop to  it. Again, he didn't want to disappoint his mom. Robert's a smart guy. As a kid he skipped a few grades with the support of one of his older sisters. He got a scholarship to USLA  and graduated with a BA in Literature . He's written a few books, including real estate books as well as "Shakey's Madness - Does  A Mental Disorder Reveal The Real William Shakespeare" and "Hang Shakespeare. Robert also likes to dabble in song writing. As the 5th of the 9 kids, smack dab in the middle, Robert became a good negotiator. He shares some fun stories of what it was like at the dinner table and who had what chores and responsibilities. Joan had a profound impact on her son.  So much so, that he's still successfully running the business that she started way back when. She offered her son a ticket to go see the legendary sales trainer/realtor, Tom Hopkins, and it changed Robert's life. He realized that there was quite a bit more to real estate than he thought. Fortunately or unfortunately it was out of fear that motivated Joan to start working when Robert was a teen. Due to traumatic family circumstances, she realized that she needed to get a job. If anything happened to her husband, she needed to be able to put food on the table and take care of her children.Robert lives in Valencia, CA.There's so much more to this story. Hope you enjoy the listen. https://robertboog.com/-about his book on Shakespeare. All his books on amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Bob-Boog/e/B000APFUXC%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Everyone thinks they're a designer.Your boss. Your client. That intern with Canva.And somehow, they all think they can do it better than you until they realize they can't.That's the mess we're living in.Graphic Designers aren't just fighting clueless clients, pretend design software or AI prompts. We're fighting a system we helped create. Because somewhere along the line, too many of us stopped designing and started decorating. We traded questions for quick fixes, strategy for style, thinking for templates. And that's how design lost its backbone.This week on The Angry Designer Podcast, we're taking aim at a hard truth. It's not just clients or AI killing design. It's graphic designers who traded thinking for easy answers. If you've ever felt like a pixel pusher instead of a problem solver, this one's going to sting.In this episode you'll discover:• How “good enough” design is killing creativity (and your value)• Why real designers ask why, not “how fast”• The one mindset shift that separates order takers from strategic thinkersThis isn't a pep talk. It's a wake-up call.Because if you think a graphic designers job is to make people happy, you've already stopped being a designer.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Ruth was one year old when she and her family arrived in the United States from Wertheim am Main, Germany in 1938 according to Jonathan Ramsfelder, Ruth's son. A time of confusion, despair and relief,  yet so much regret for members of her  family that were left behind to the inevitable Nazi genocide of European Jews.  Ruth was the last Jewish baby born in Wertheim am Main.Ruth's family was upper middle class cattle dealers in Germany yet once in the US, they lived in poverty and worked whatever jobs they could to provide for the family including manuel labor as  maids, painters, dishwashers, etc. "Regardless of their hardship, they were loving and sought happiness," declares Ramsfelder.  " Mom grew up in  a very structured environment while being raised by two traumatized refugees." Jonathan continues with wonder as he shares the stories that have been repeated to him over the years. He's amazed at how his "maternal grandparents were lovely and embracing of life," in spite of their hardships. "The family educated themselves and embraced each other," continues Jonathan. Ruth went to school through high school and her son feels that she's one of the most intelligent people he knows. Had she been born at a different time, Jonathan believes that she would have been able to accomplish great things and work at a Fortune 500 company and more. Even though her son knows that "his mom suffered from her past, she was often demonstrating gratitude and contentment-they are my mom's hallmarks."  According to Jonathan, "Ruth is his role model and she's very instrumental in him becoming who he is today. She's outgoing and loves to meet people, she's put together cognitively, a reader of people and great at getting advice- not a judge of people." Ruth was steadfast in her optimistic ways, bound to be grateful and appreciative as well as inquisitive. Jonathan knew from an early age that based on his parents past and the trauma they had endured, he would never be able to disappoint them. Instead he says "that he used his parents experience as a source of encouragement  and ambition."So many wonderful life lessons to learn from my conversation with Jonathan about his  mother, Ruth. You can't ever give up hope in humanity  is one  of my take aways.There's so much more to this story so please listen to the episode and I've also attached Jonathan Ramsfelder's story that he posted on LInkedIn  in honor of his mother on Holocaust Remembrance Day 2022:**********************************************************************************************This is a photo of me and my mom, Ruth Ramsfelder, the last Jewish person born in her home town of Wertheim am Main, Germany. Tonight and tomorrow mark Holocaust Remembrance Day or, in Hebrew, Yom Hashoah.This is a photo of a Holocaust survivor and her son, myself, a product of two refugees who experienced childhood trauma through persecution, dislocation, the murder of their family members and, upon arriving in the U.S. in 1938 and 1939 (my mom and my dad, respectively) poverty.This is a photo of a woman who didn't have the opportunity to advance her education beyond high school but who is one of the most intelligent people (IQ and EQ) I have ever met.Resilience, positive outlook, compassion for others, kindness and good decision making are her signature attributes, along with networking and relationship‐building skills that could have catapulted her to the top of the corporate ladder had she been born 60 years later and not in a country bent on marginalizing (and ultimately exterminating) all of its Jewish citizens.This is a photo that proves that Hitler lost, the Jewish People are still here and that we will continue on.This is a photo of the last Jewish baby born in Wertheim am Main.Never forget.  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

AI isn't the future of design. It's the biggest threat most designers don't see coming. While everyone's celebrating faster workflows and effortless logos, AI is quietly reshaping the creative industry, and most designers are sleepwalking straight into irrelevance. This isn't just about tools or technology. It's about control, creativity, and whether designers still have a seat at the table.Here's the uncomfortable truth: most graphic designers are using AI the wrong way or not at all. They're either ignoring it completely, abusing it for shortcuts, or sitting in the “safe middle” pretending they'll adapt later. And when AI finally outpaces them, they'll wonder where their clients went. The few designers who do get it are evolving into something entirely new: strategic, fast, and unstoppable.This week on The Angry Designer Podcast, we break down the 3 real dangers of AI for graphic designers and what every creative needs to understand before it's too late. Whether you're a freelancer, agency owner, or in-house designer, this conversation will change how you think about AI and your future in design.In this episode you'll discover• The 3 biggest AI mistakes destroying designers' credibility• Why ignoring AI could cost you your creative career• How to use AI strategically without losing your originalityThis isn't just about AI. It's about you. The designer who either adapts and evolves or becomes a cautionary tale in the history of creative work. AI won't replace designers, but another designer using AI will.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Pattie was a strong woman through and through. She learned everything she knew about raising and caring for animals and growing crops from her parents  and the land she grew up on.  Because of her experience on the farm plus her ability to drive and operate farm machinery, etc, she was available to help out her country during WWII. This enabled her to be active during the Land Army, in New Zealand. Josh shares how she had a wonderful sense of humor (Irish family roots), taught Josh how to sew, cook, play cards, knit and so much more. Josh willingly admits that he was a mama's boy and as he says he "hung onto her apron strings."As Josh was getting ready to move away from home for a new job, he was desperate to share a very personal story with his mother.

Just as he was about to go out the door, he spoke to his mother and revealed what he'd been hiding inside for decades.  She was un perplexed and finished his statement before he had a chance to share what he wanted to say.  That was just a little bit of the magic of Pattie.She regularly took care of her neighbors. Whether because of an illness or just in need of company, she was always there to help other. Pattie was also very curious, especially regarding her friends and neighbors in this rural farming area. Josh shares some very funny stories about the phone in his house.The work that Josh is doing with "The Litter Club Network is so important.

Fiverr just fired 30% of its staff and announced it's becoming an “AI-first company.” On paper, it sounds innovative. In reality, it's poetic justice. The platform that devalued design and turned creativity into a $5 commodity just found a faster, cheaper replacement of its own bargain basement graphic designers...artificial intelligence. This isn't just about Fiverr. It's the clearest proof yet that shortcuts, cheap clients, and race-to-the-bottom thinking always come back to bite.Here's the uncomfortable truth: most graphic designers that helped build the monster, is now being replaced by it. By chasing low prices, skipping process, and trading craft for convenience, they became the very data that AI now feeds on. Meanwhile, the few designers who built real strategy, process, and brand value are standing strong and watching the collapse from the sidelines with popcorn.This week on The Angry Designer Podcast, we expose Fiverr's AI-first announcement for what it really is: a desperate move wrapped in PR spin. We break down what it teaches every real designer about protecting their designs and their future in this AI fuel hungry environment. This isn't just a takedown. It's a wake-up call about how easily creative platforms can turn your work into their training data, and how to make sure that never happens to you.In this episode you'll discover- Why Fiverr's collapse proves cheap design was never sustainable- The hidden fine print that lets companies like Fiverr and Adobe use your creative work for AI- How real designers can use AI to their advantage instead of becoming its next victimThis isn't about Fiverr, it's about the entire creative industry. Because if you think staying cheap, fast, and convenient is your competitive edge, you're already designing your own extinction. The future doesn't need more Fiverr designers. It needs thinkers, leaders, and creators who value the process as much as the product.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Mina was working the night shift at a factory, when she was pregnant with her first daughter.  Parita shares that her mom used to let she and her sister explore as much as they needed when they were young. Both daughters were pushed academically and socially, but the girls found comfort in the fact that there mom would be there if ever they needed her. Mina was the oldest of four daughters. Parita's Maternal Grandfather said, "God didn't give me a son but he gave me the strongest daughters." Parita continues saying "her mother has experienced grief , being misunderstood  because she's a strong, capable, ambitious woman who's not afraid to speak her mind when she sees injustice." "It's taught me me that you have to be who your are. You have to come to the table with who you are, " commented Parita.Enjoy this listen.

Solomea's story begins in Drohobych, a city in the south of Lviv Oblast, Ukraine. At a young age, Solomea lost her hearing mainly because of two illnesses, Menangitis and Scarlett Fever. At the time, she was luckily old enough that she had learned to speak and read, so she adapted by learning how to read lips. Andy tells this heartwarming story of his mother's love  in his latest book, "A Promise Kept: A Tribute To A Mother's Love."  And Andy didn't know any of his mother's background and experiences until he was fifty years old. And he kept his promise to his mother to help others that were in need and indeed he has.Solomea was a young child when she and her family witnessed the "Nazi occupation of Poland and then the Soviet occupation of Western Ukraine," explains Mr. Semotiuk. His mom, was one of the first refugees to flee war torn Europe to Immigrate to North America.A life filled with challenges, loss of love, family and yet she never gave up. Years later, as a single mother, she was able to put her son through law school. Andy explains, "I watched my mother put me through law school on her hands and knees, washing floors." Mother and son had a very special bond. I don't think that a day goes by that Andy doesn't think and thank his mother for all that she's taught him and all that she did for him.Andy Semotiuk has also written a book entitled, "Solomea." Solomea, his great Aunt, was his grandmother's sister.  She was also a very,  successful leading dramatic soprano opera singer, but unfortunately WWII got in the way of her lengthy career. She performed with Enrico Caruso, Arturo Toscanini, Giacomo PucciniThere is so much more to this story. I hope you enjoy the listen. I have so much respect for Solomea, Andy's mother. She endured so much, yet she always landed on her feet. She connected with wonderful women that helped her along this complicated and challenging journey. Imagine immigrating to a new, unknown country, not speaking the language, not being able to hear, having no money or family. And yet Solomea prevailed and raised a wonderful son who is happily helping others in need of legal immigration services.It was a pleasure to speak with Paul and share this eye opening story of a young woman who wasn't afraid to step out alone.By the age of nine, Andy still never knew who his biological father was. Yet it was an honor for Andy to take the sir name of the gentleman who Andy referred to as his "grandfather/grandpa," who's name was William Semotiuk. Law firm website:https://pacelawfirm.com*Personal legal website:https://myworkvisa.com*LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/andysemotiuk/Instagram:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Andy+SemotiukX.Com:https://www.X.Com/ASemotiuk*Facebook personal:https://www.facebook.com/asemotiuk/Facebook business:https://www.facebook.com/myworkvisaYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Andy+SemotiukIMDB:https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14878772/*Amazon:https://www.buysolomeabook.com/The Clinic that helped Andy's mother was the  Weinlos Clinic, located at 15508 87 Ave NW, Edmonton, Alberta. edmonton.cdncompanies.com+3health-local.com+3edmonton.cdncompanies.com+3 "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.
