The most common misconception of being a graphic designer?To “make things look good.”That mindset is exactly why clients are moving on. Fast.AI can make things look good, faster, and cheaper. And customers are quickly flocking to a "Good enough" mentality.In this unapologetic episode of The Angry Designer, we expose the dangerous gap between what designers think clients want… and what clients actually need in today's AI-fueled, shortcut-obsessed world.We're diving deep into:Why execution-first designers are being replaced by “good enough”What today's clients really value (hint: it's not your color palettes)How to shift from being a pixel pusher to a strategic powerhouseThe first move every future-ready designer must makeIf you're still handing off logos and layouts without asking deeper questions, your days are numbered.But if you're ready to solve real business problems, lead with strategy, and think bigger—you won't just survive. You'll own the damn future.This episode kicks off a multi-part series on becoming the future designer—smarter, sharper, and impossible to ignore.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Gwenda, short for Gwendoline, convinced her father to let her go into the circus as long as she got an official job or "booking." She did not want to get a traditional job such as working in the postal service, as her father had dreamed she'd do.Gwenda and her mother were very very close but unfortunately her mother died way too early.In spite of her parents, Gwenda became a Catholic. She fell in love with Stephen's father who was Italian and catholic.Well he had already abandoned the Catholic church by the time they met, but she was certain she could convince this enthusiastic atheist to come back to the church.  And she was a success on both fronts. Stephen did not enjoy his experience being raised in the Catholic church and schools. As a young boy Stephen struggles with anxiety, stealing from local vendors, fights and more. Gwenda was a storyteller and that's one of manny gifts she gave to Stephen. Years later when Stephen was teaching Mindfulness lessons she came to some of his teachings.Stephen left home in order to find himself. This journey had experiences of exploring Catholicism, Marxism, drugs, Buddhism, Mindfulness, compassion and more.Years later while raising her children, Gwenda used the expression "never mind"  when Stephen would come to her hurt or upset. She was say "never mind" and offer a smile and have them move on. Stephen was looking for more than that from his mother.My guest trained as a Buddhist Monk in the Tibetan tradition for eight years. To this day he still uses and teaches his practice and he enjoys applying his practice to real life situations and can help others without them knowing it's a Buddhist technique.  I was looking for something but more importantly I was leaving behind stuff, everything," Stephen explains. Stephen asked his mother years later, why she hadn't protected him more from his father when he was younger . "She was angry at me for asking that, she was angry at herself. She thought she'd done what she could. She was protecting herself as well."After reading Stephan's first draft of his book, "The Novice, Why I Became a Buddhist Monk", Gwenda said  "Don't you think it would have been nice if we'd listened to you a little more when you were young?" Stephen got very emotional. Their relationship changed so much for the better after that. She was acknowledging that they could have done more. That was what I wanted to hear.Gwenda had a big heart. Bio:Stephen has a fascinating story that could offer a unique perspective. His journey, shaped by both his mother and his unconventional upbringing, has deeply influenced his life and work. Growing up in a challenging environment, Stephen learned lessons from his family and from overcoming obstacles, which he now shares through his coaching and mindfulness framework. His story isn't just about overcoming adversity but also about the lessons learned along the way, including how his relationship with his family, especially his mother, shaped his journey to becoming a Buddhist monk and later a TEDx speaker.I believe his experiences of both struggling with and learning from his upbringing would provide a heartfelt and insightful conversation for your listeners, touching on themes of resilience, personal growth, and how those early life lessons shaped the person he is today.BOOKS:The Novice-Why I Became a Buddhist Monk, Why I Quit & What I Learned By Stephen SchettiniIt Begins Silence-the art of mindful reflection-Al Practical Guide to Meditation based on the teachings of theHistorical Buddha By Stephen Schettini Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the.innermonk/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/stephen.schettini.3/LinkedIn:www.linkedin.com/in/schettiniYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@theinnermonkX: Stephen SchettiniWEBSITE: THEINNERMONK.COM (https://schettini.com/) "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

The details of the 2022 Ukraine/Russia conflict change minute by minute and hour by hour.  What's difficult for  my guest and her 80 year old mother,  Mariyka, to understand is how shocking this event is. Here we are in the 21st century, and Ukraine is under attack.  Certainly not plausible, but clearly possible. What makes this all the more difficult is the fact that Anya and her mom have many relatives still in the Ukraine today.  They've set up group chats on their phones to make sure that they can all stay in touch with updates regarding their safety and where-a-bouts.The rich Ukrainian culture has played a significant role in my guest's life.  She attended the Ukrainian Cultural Center of NJ in Whippany, as a child growing up. She and her sibling, studied the language, traditions, history, etc. Anya also raised her own children  with the same ideation that their Ukrainian culture was very important and they too had to learn and understand the significance  of these traditions.  In 1949, Mariyka's  family was sponsored by a German family and they were able to move to the US. However,  they moved to Wisconsin.  They often felt isolated. There was no family close by, yet they held on to their values, language and traditions. It was vital that they remember all that they had been through and because of their beliefs and strength they survived.On the contrary, Anya's father, as a child moved directly to the lower east side of Manhattan with his family and were immersed in a rich Ukrainian culture 24/7. They had full support from their neighbors and community which helped them overcome their longing for their homeland.The same patriotism  still exists today as it did long ago, when both mom and dad arrived in the United States and held utmost respect and longing for Ukraine. That's why Anya says of her relatives still in Ukraine today, "they are scared but there is not a single doubt in their minds that they need to stay. They love their country and they will fight to defend it."  They large family photo is from a 2011 trip to Ukraine with her mother and children to visit part of their immediate family still living there.After working decades in Corporate America, at JP Morgan, Anya now works at a benchmarking organization helping businesses grow at The Learning Forum. Currently, she is on the Board of Directors for the Ukrainian Cultural Center as well  as fulfilling her role as Administrative Director at the School of Ukrainian Studies.The Ukrainian American Cultural Center just outside Morristown, NJ  (https://uaccnj.org/)is accepting donations for their humanitarian drive to send much needed supplies to Ukraine. You can find the full list of goods, including nonperishable food, clothing, blankets, warm clothing, etc at the link above. Anya ended this episode with a phrase that Ukrainian's are repeatedly using "Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes."Thank you for listening and thank you for contributing to aid the Ukrainians.    "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Randee and her mom are very close. They have a wonderful relationship and Randee says "she's my best cheerleader."  A lot of that has to do with the honesty and open communication that they had from the very beginning-"adoption was normal, not a stigma, not a tragedy."  Also, Randee learned at a young age that just because you are blood related doesn't guarantee you a loving relationship.Lois was definitely a role model to Randee. But Randee also feels that she learned from things that Lois did and didn't t do and then would form her own opinions. Randee had the luxury of knowing that her mom "always had my back.".Unfortunately, growing up in the 70's, Randee's parents divorced and her mom went to work. She was able to get contract work, writing and editing government contracts. It was a stressful time for Lois, but she made the best of it. For example, her office didn't have a window, so she decided to put a picture of a window up on the wall. That made it feel so much better."The Only Songs We're Singing," was released April 2025 and "Leave No Trace" will be released August 2025.In “The Only Song Worth Singing”, the power of friendship is one of the major themes blended with myth and the power of music. Imagine Irish folklore combined with mysticism – makes for a magical read.She's also written Amazon Bestseller, Tune in Tomorrow and co-wrote the popular, The Law & Order: SVU Unofficial Companion and co-edited, Across the Universe: Tales of Alternative Beatles.Randee Dawn's Bio:Randee Dawn is a Brooklyn-based author and journalist focusing on speculative fiction across the categories (science-fiction, fantasy and horror) at night, while writing entertainment and lifestyle stories during the day for publications including Today.com, NBCNews.com, Variety, The Los Angeles Times and Emmy Magazine.You may have seen my name in other publications over the years, including Soap Opera Digest and The Boston Phoenix, E! Online, New Musical Express and Mojo. I contributed to a French book about American television, Les Series Tele and co-authored (with Susan Green) The Law & Order: SVU Unofficial Companion.I've got a fair amount of short fiction in anthologies, and authored the short story/poetry compilation Home for the Holidays. I'm currently  represented by Bridget Smith at JABberwocky Literary Agency, and I frequently appear at conventions and workshops on panels and to give readings.My first novel, Tune In Tomorrow, was published by Solaris/Rebellion in 2022. Arc Manor will publish my next two novels in 2025: The Only Song Worth Singing (April) and Leave No Trace (August).My degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University is occasionally useful, though I'm pleased to have a paralegal certificate from New York University.Currently, I reside with the love of my life and an adorable West Highland Terrier (who is also quite lovable). No, I don't have a fox, but if you want to meet a fox like this, JAB Canid Education and Conservation Center can help.  More information about Randee. https://creativecoachingpartners.newzenler.com/ WEBSITE: https://randeedawn.com/https://www.facebook.com/AuthorRandeeDawnhttps://bsky.app/profile/randeedawn.comhttps://www.instagram.com/randeedawn/https://www.threads.net/@randeedawnhttps://www.tiktok.com/@randee.dawnhttps://randeedawn.com/https://randeedawn.com/appearances/https://creativecoachingpartners.newzenler.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Patrick shares stories of his mother and her ability to light up a room whenever she walks in. "She's always herself," beams Patrick. Patrick attributes, her sense of humor to her brothers and he says "she's a little butch, not too feminine."  And all of that and more makes him love his mother even more. "She unadulterated herself. She never code switches or changes her behavior depending on the crowd. She always her most authentic self."Eight years of piano lessons was tough for Patrick. He didn't like the repetitive method that his teacher was using and he was bored. His mom eventually had to ground him for not practicing. But that's when he started exploring with little chunks, the melodies, the notes, breaking things down, playing them backwards and forwards until he absolutely fell in love with playing the piano. Patrick claims that his mom "gave him that space to be able to do that and what a privilege." He also admits that his ADHD was most likely a big part of the problem and today, finds great relief by taking a prescribed medication. Patrick's philosophy "even though life around you is chaos, you can still find an inner calm/inner peace, and my mom has that in spades. She can re-infect a room with her vibrancy so easily.She walks into a room and it lights up.""My mother knows that she's infectious around everybody else and so she's able to kind of manipulate that too to better suit the environment a little bit. She thinks everyone should be themselves, most authentically all the time.Below is the first first email response that I got from Patrick having asked if he'd be interested in joining me on SHLTMM."Hey Jackie. Thanks for reaching out! I love this concept for a podcast. My story fits perfectly for this since she's been a freelance true crime documentary writer for decades and she allowed me to feel confident in that space, just seeing her succeed and talking about the struggles in that space. I had a good role model. And also… she was the one who grounded me if I didn't practice piano lol, and now I'm a professional pianist so… I owe it to her for a lot of who I am today

And the gap between relevance and replacement is closing fast.Most Graphic Designers? They don't even see it coming.They're still fussing over colors and kerning while AI pumps out results in seconds. And the real kicker? Clients don't care how it was made—just that it's done.This week on The Angry Designer podcast, we expose the brutal truth behind why Graphic Designers are being replaced by AI—and the ONE shift that separates those who'll thrive from those who'll fade into irrelevance. It's not your tools, your talent, or your timeline… it's how you THINK.You'll learn how to: • Identify the new creative divide that's catching Graphic Designers off guard • Shift from pixel pusher to strategic thinker before it's too late • Use AI as an ally, not a replacement • Elevate your role from executor to problem-solverThe Graphic Designers who survive this shift won't be the flashiest—they'll be the smartest.By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what it takes to stay valuable in a world that's evolving faster than your next deadline.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

SHLTMM CAN NOW BE HEARD ON YOUTUBE:YOUTUBE CHANNEL LINK: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoUWxgQECqrMqI1ylVH9DpwAs I mention in the introduction of my show, Gramps Jeffrey, I believe is the first grandfather I've interviewed on SHLTMM, so that's pretty great. I was so happy to hear how engaged he is with his grandchildren.Gramps' mother's name was Faye  and she really left quite an impression on him and his brother.  Faye was the youngest of 3 children, with two older brothers. Growing up during the Depression and  WWII, known as The Greatest Generation, was a very challenging time, "and my mother lived up to every expectation", continues Gramps.  While raising her two boys, she  insisted they turn off the tv and read-no if, ands or buts. "We loved our mother," says Gramps, referring to him and his brother. They grew up in a small town in Ohio, about 50 miles outside Columbus,  where they were free to play outside and knew when to come home in time for dinner. He had relatives nearby as well, including  lots of love and support from his grandmother and uncle.Gramps brags, "mom always had a positive attitude.  Her glass was always half full  and she was always looking at the 'bright side of life."  That philosophy  and her passion of reading certainly influenced Gramps and his interest in writing.  It's clearly stayed with him even today because he continues to write and read to  his 6 grandchildren."Mom would remind us regularly that we were very fortunate and had a good life, but that we can't forget other people. This world is hard and she knew it," remarks Gramps.  Faye had learned many life lessons from her paternal grandmother who lost her husband suddenly when he was only 49. She was left  to raise her  children  on her own, including Fay's dad. She also raised her nephew who had also lost his parents. But her grandmother was always smiling regardless of her hardships.Gramps Jeffrey is very concerned about the different parenting styles  today. Most concerns him most and feels is most important for every child is 'one on one attention' from the parent. Gramps feels so blessed to have had such a devoted mother, and hopes that parents still take the time to put the phone down, turn the computer off and just sit and read or spend that precious time with your children. Gramps' mom gave him such a sense of security. "We could always go home and feel secure, you felt love, you felt protected," remarks Gramps about his mom. One of his mom's favorite quotes was "when you love, you will teach others how to love."Gramps Jeffrey is truly committed to sharing this message. He's got every little child on his mind in hopes that they get all the loving that they truly deserve.Gramps Jeffrey is his pen name. His real name is Marc Joseph.

It's here, completing the story arcs for Andor Season 1. The Rebellion has Dan and Jez joined once more by Andor Special Guest Barry Gingell to conduct a deep dive into the final 2 episodes of Andor season 1. It's an absolute beauty. There is a strong possibility that Jez spent far too much time watching Andor and over thinking things prior to making this show as at one point in this episode he reveals that Luthen reminded him of Darth Maul???  This insightful show unpacks so much more than just the main monologues and it ponders the future for Andor Season 2. Barry opens up about life behind the scenes filming Andor as Graphic Designer but also how being asked to play the part of Anto Kreegyr changed his life. Finally an Andor special event called AndMore in June in Fordingbridge is revealed with Barry revealing what could be in store.

It was such a pleasure to speak with Dani. She's wonderful and has accomplished and overcome quite a bit thus far in her life. And a lot of that has to do with her mother. It took Dani many, many years to figure out what her real connection was with her mother. Was it love? Was it control? Dani was convinced it was love. Even Dani's girlfriends were convinced that she and her mother had the most special relationship and were even a bit jealous of what these two woman had- what looked like a very special bond.Dani was always there for her mother. Very protective of her, always there by her side should she need anything. If she hadn't heard from her mother within a certain amount of time, Dani would worry.  If she said the wrong thing, Dani would worry.Here's a little bit of what Dani wrote to me about her relationship with her mother, prior to our recorded  conversation."I'm the way i am because of her. I'm everything she wasn't and still of cuz I find her in me, her fears, her narrative, her internalized voice that speaks to me with grim predictions whenever things go really great for me.I wrote a whole book about me and my mom called "mutterseelenallein" which is a wonderful german word and means something like "lonelier than alone." Like when you find a kitten in the middle of the forest with no mum but as well as no one else around."Mutterseelenallein" was how my mom and I both felt, while she in fact was given away by her mother in 2nd world war and i had my mom always around like an emotional absent dissociated shadow that lived by my light.My mom was scared and depressed and my sole purpose was to make her happy. She was very generous when it was about sweets and bedtime but i had a massive price to pay: My self, that i had to surrender to her.  She was so close that she suffocated me and at the same time she never was there.""I didnt realize till puberty when i started to become my own person what my mom couldn't handle. As long as I was an extension of herself everything was good, but by the slightest sign of separation, she started to become ugly. Emotional blackmailing, blame shifting and the sad realization that no matter what, I could never make her happy...which i tried until the day she died. Missing out to build my own family as she was my sole responsibility. She became the bitter and hateful, jealous of every move I made, every success I celebrated...she talked my victories small, told me I'm too messy or to fat..no man would ever want me."Such powerful words to describe a very complex relationship, especially for a young daughter who trusted her mother implicitly.There's so much more to this story. And the great news is that Dani has accomplished so much in her life. She says she loves her mother regardless of how hurtful she was. She a psychotherapist who's loves helping others and is able to help her patients because she is living proof that you can always turn your life around for the better.As narcissitic as Gabriel was, Dani has learner and voiced her opinion about the significance of raising our children to be able to leave home/the Mother Ship as a teen or in their young adult prime. "The bravest thing  to do is teach your kids to separate."Dani uses her bold and dynamic design choices to lift her internal vibrations, to make her happy and feel alive and appreciate all of her talents regardless of how her mother tried to control her and keep her self esteem bleak. (Tinzeltowndesign)Brava Dani and I can't wait to meet you in person either in Germany or  The Bohoho in South Africa.*Mutterseelenallein" is a German word meaning "utterly alone" or "completely isolated". It translates literally as "mother's souls alone," but the actual meaning is an extreme sense of loneliness, as if even one's mother has abandoned you. The phrase has a more inteFrom Goodle-Definition of "Mutterseelenallein:"   "Tinzeltown, a high-concept project development and interior design firm redefining "content creator spaces."

Pricing your Graphic design work shouldn't feel like rocket science—but for most Graphic Designers, it's a total mindfk! Hourly? Project-based? Value-based? Everyone online's got an opinion, but let's be honest—most of that advice is either incomplete or flat-out wrong, let alone providing you a game plan or roadmap on how-to charge for graphic design work. No wonder designers stay stuck, undercharging and second-guessing their worth.In this solo episode of The Angry Designer, Massimo blows the lid off the pricing BS and gives you a straight-up, battle-tested roadmap to charging what you're ACTUALLY worth.You'll learn:The real reason you need to start with hourly pricing (and how it sets you up to win)When to switch to project pricing without guessing or screwing yourselfWhy most designers aren't ready for value-based pricing—and how to earn your way thereHow retainers can save your sanity, stabilize your income, and turn clients into long-term partnersNo fluff. No sugarcoating. Just hard-earned truth from a designer who built a 7-figure agency from his parents' basement—without selling his soul.By the end of this episode, you'll stop wondering what to charge—and start pricing with confidence.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

"I am my mother's only daughter," explains Bergstein. Both of Rachelle's parents eventually remarried. Her father has two daughters from a subsequent marriage. And Rachelle's mom, has remarried twice. Rachelle's parents were very much in love and married right out of college. At around the  age of five years old, her parent's split up and Rachelle lived with her mother though there was joint custody between her parents.  Rachelle admits that they did a pretty  good job of not pushing and pulling her into their disagreements up until just prior to her wedding!Pauline eventually went to graduate school and became a psychologist and Rachelle says "she'll work into her eighties, she loves it so much." "She had a lot of drive and intelligence that was sort of sitting somewhere and not used. Eventually she learned how to use it." says my guest. There were humble beginning after the divorce, but Pauline eventually found her calling and nothing can stop her now.Getting support from her mom regarding her writing and being able to have honest open conversations was always helpful, yet Pauline didn't like it "when I dressed sexy. I could pierce my ears, dye my hair, no tattoos till 18. My mother also has a really loud laugh" recalls Rachelle. So loud that Rachelle will sometimes ask her mother to not laugh so loud if they're out in a restaurant.Some of Rachelle's favorite Judy Blume books include, "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret," "Blubber," "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and so many more. But it was Ms. Blume's natural writing style that enthralled not only Rachelle but teens and young adults around the world, even today. There was a period in the 1980's that Judy Blume was one of the most banned author in America. She wrote about somewhat sensitive topics that her audience was looking to learn more about, but not from their parents. Topics such as menstruation, puberty, parental divorce, sexuality, women's lib/feminism and so much more.One of many things that Rachelle is grateful for is that her mother was very open about speaking with her about a woman's body and sexuality. Again, it was reflective for Rachelle to write this latest book "The Genius of Judy Blume-How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us." She clearly saw many similarities in both her mother and Ms. Blume's life. Though the transition of being a young divorcee with children was challenging, once these women hit their stride, they found themselves unstoppable.Send all Social Media Links:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/rachellebergstein/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/rachellewb/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachelle-bergstein/OTHER: https://banneryear.substack.com/WEBSITE:www.rachellebergstein.com  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

In speaking with my two guests, they shared stories of the three generations of writers in the family including, Irene's mother, Wilma, followed by my guest, Irene and her son Brendan. Brendan is an award winning graphic novel/picture book author and acquiring editor at Blackstone Publishing where he also runs the TV and Film Division even made notice of having his maternal grandmothers published books on his desk. Brendan shares that he was always supported and encouraged by his family with his passion for comic books which he started writing and drawing caricatures at a young age.In time, Irene expressed "that the family was moving in a different direction and the divorce was almost inevitable." Irene continues, "I'm highly emotionally intelligent and I finally found my tribe. I found people who spoke my language." This all occurred once she went back to school for her Masters Degree in Counseling, and later on became a social worker. Brendan raves about his childhood as a latch key kid. He loved growing up in Connecticut. And now as a father, he appreciates even more what it takes for parents to raise their children. And now he's learned even more about what his mother was going through raising the four Deneen children.Both Irene and Brendan claim to be emotionally intelligent-they are very good at listening to others, which Brendan feels that "not many people listen to one another these days." Brendan has always been there for his mom as a sounding board. Irene says " Brendan was my listening post." When she needed to talk, she call Brendan.They have a special bond for sure. They respect one another.Irene Deneen Murray: Irene Deneen Murray grew up in the 50's, an era when a woman could be a nurse, teacher or secretary. She chose teacher because it pleased her mother. In truth the first half of her life was devoted to taking care of or pleasing her mother. At age 50 having raised 4 kids in a Hollywood -worthy suburb, Irene became a divorcee and learned to love being more adventurous than she had previously ever imagined. By then she was working as a social worker having recently earned a Master's Degree in Counseling. Irene loves the natural world and has been a devoted hiker and later a biker, paddler and pretty consistently a practitioner of yoga. She continues these pastimes presently sometimes to the chagrin of her children since they may picture her falling off a cliff, rolling over in her kayak or some other catastrophe. Her children and grandchildren are her greatest achievement. She is a good observer and has insight galore but is sometimes amazed at how each of her children has developed so uniquely. Brendan Deneen is the author of the novelsThe Ninth Circle andThe Chrysalis, as well as the bestselling four-volume Night Night, Groot picture book series for Marvel/Disney.

Dravon was the eldest of the three kids  and would sometimes hear her mom crying at night. That was really hard for Dravon because she knew how hard her mother had worked and how much she gave up in order to give her children a solid family foundation and a good education. So Dravon was afraid to disappoint her mom because of all the sacrifices her mom had made for the family. Now, Davon is a doctor, an author and a Life Coach.  She has so much to thank her mother for, including how her mom instilled in her the power of positive thinking, hard work the power of forgiveness.In Dravon's new book, “Forgiveness: The Pathway to Happiness,” she shares her expertise and personal experience with forgiveness. She teaches that "it is not denial, amnesia, or even reconciliation, but a pathway to peace and a lifetime practice."  A few inspirational influencers include Oprah Winfrey, Miya Angelou and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale.As a young child, my guest's journey began in poverty on the South Side of Chicago. Though she had always dreamt of a career on the stage, Dravon went on to earn a doctorate in pharmacy from Creighton University and has worked as a pharmacist for over 30 years. A leader in the healthcare industry , she is the recipient of the Secretary McDonough Coin of Recognition for her leadership efforts to combat the COVID pandemic.Along with her medical career and theatrical aspirations, Dr. Dravon has always had a keen interest in personal development. After reading Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking in college, she went on to make a lifelong study of the power we all have to create the life we want.Ruby wasn't all hard work and business. Because of her Southside of Chicago roots, she was the queen of "Chicago Steppin.' Chicago Steppin', which I was not familiar with until Dravon shared this story of her mom's  love of dancing, is a unique and improvisational partner dance, originated in Chicago's Southside and is rooted in soul, jazz, and R&B music, with influences from styles like the Chicago Bop, Lindy Hop, and Western Swing.Dr. Jame's says her mother always instilled in her children to "be dogmatic and be committed to something." Ruby was unwavering, reflects James. "Her commitment to success was the endgame!"SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:Instagram- @everydaypeaceFacebook-www.facebook.com/everydaypeacewithdrdravonjames/Twitter- @drdravonjamesLinkedIn - @DrDravonJameshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-dravon-james-84b59a208/ "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 proud mother, Dorothy was all ready to share very specific stories of when she thought June "should listen to her mother," including her junior high musical instrument selection, Orange Bowl Queen/King Orange Bowl Game in Miami, taking a job at the "nascent" CNN news network and not marrying her first husband. "Greetings From Paradise" began as a screen play and it turned into a gift from June to Coral Gables. It is a one act, 80 minute play written by June Thomson Morris, making it's debut at Miracle Theater on Miracle Mile.     The roaring 20's happened big time in Coral Gables and the Miami area. At that time, the Prohibition was not taken seriously at all. June says "the booze was pouring in with miles of unprotected coastlines between Bermuda and Cuba." 1925 the great Florida Land Boom -no more income tax nor inheritance tax so everyone from up north, who had money, flocked to the Miami area.In September of 1926, a hurricane leveled Miami and left a path  of destructionJune's Grandmother, Lucy, was there and she experienced the loss of all that had been created and developed because of this one horrific storm. Dorothy as a proud mother, explains that by writing this play, June has done something that no one else has ever done. It's the first time that anyone's written a historically accurate telling of the story of Miami.Coral Gables is also dedicating a park in Dorothy's honor. It's going to be the first theme park in Coral Gables and named "Dorothy." Dorothy was raised in Peekskill, New York  where in the 1800's, L. Frank Baum, the author of the Wizard of Oz, attended  the Peekskill Military Academy for two years. When L. Frank Baum was looking for his new school, a gentleman told him to "follow the yellow brink road" and you'll find the academy. Link for June Thomson, the 84th Orange Bowl Queen: https://historicimages.com/products/rsd95985?srsltid=AfmBOooAS8vHUWdxA6tHyn9uct7CFkqk3nTcg1pd35GjgpURIbfo3UjzSocial Media Links: June Thomson MorrisFB:JUNE THOMSON MORRISIG: JUNEMORRIS6LINKEDIN:JUNE THOMSON MORRISTHREADS:miamidgalumnaeSocial Media Links for Dorothy Thomsom:FB: Dorothy ThomsonIG: Birddot1934  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Julie Jargon is the first 'Family & Technology' Columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Congratulations again Julie. She is also a Gen X mom.  Generation X is  the generation after the 'baby boomers'-mid 1960's to early 1980's, and her findings may not be too surprising.As a parent, I've often told my boys to get off their phones and/or computer for many reasons.  The worst being social media and the damning effect it can have on ones self confidence.  In times of need, one often thinks that reaching out to friends is the smartest and safest solution, but it doesn't always workout that way.  The same holds true for adults. One has to be smart and think outside the box when trying to find new friends or different ways to gather socially.Moms are human and they have needs too, especially during these trying times of lockdown. Kids are struggling with virtual schooling, parents are either out of work or all working from home. Add a pandemic dog to the mix, so now you essentially have an additional new baby to take care of and train on top of everything else. All of this can lead to chaos in the home.So a number of mom's sought solace on social media and admit to  becoming more lonely and depress. It didn't fulfill their needs the way they had hoped.  That's not to say that all social media is bad, you just have to find the right fit your you.  Seeing others out and about, carrying on and having fun during these past two years while you're at home doing  'the right and smart thing' can be upsetting. Jargon is spot on when saying "we should be prioritizing friendships. She continues, "research shows how important friendships are to physical and mental health."Julie has a number of wonderful suggestions on how to meet up with friends and make new ones during these trying times.  I'm sure some of her suggestions will help you and give you a different perspective  about how to truly use this powerful tool as social media to your benefit. And she suggests "don't be afraid to show your vulnerability. Ask for what you want and sometimes you must take the initiative." Julie Jargon contact info:email-julie.jargon@wsj.com newsletter: https://www.wsj.com/newsletters?sub=444You can also go to https://www.wsj.com/newsletters and scroll down until they find the Family & Tech newsletter.  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

She's also co-producer and host of their podcast Untangling Alzheimer's and Dementia.   About Deb Bunt:   Deb took early retirement from her role in the youth offending service in London and moved to Suffolk seven years ago. As well as acquiring four grandchildren since she's been in Suffolk, she has also built an enduring friendship with Peter. This friendship Peter has given Deb a new lens through which to view her life.   Peter has enabled Deb to fulfil one of her life's ambitions – to be a published writer – and she now spends her time with Peter raising awareness of the condition or cycling insane distances around the county. Without question, Peter has enriched Deb's life.   About Tanya Ward Goodman:   Tanya Ward Goodman is the author of the award winning memoir, “Leaving Tinkertown.” Her essays and articles about travel, art, and the challenges and rewards of caregiving have appeared in numerous publications including The Washington Post, Orange County Register, Luxe, Premium Magazine, Atlas Obscura, and Variable West.   About Vicki Tapia:   Trained as an educator, Vicki Tapia has a proclivity for caring, spending over 30 years working as a Lactation Consultant teaching mothers and babies the art of breastfeeding.   When both her parents were diagnosed with dementia (Alzheimer's and Parkinson's-related) within a few months of each other, she took on the role of caregiver. As a coping mechanism, Vicki kept a journal detailing the many challenges her family faced along the way. Over time, her diary became a roadmap of sorts, morphing into the award-winning memoir Somebody Stole My Iron: A Family Memoir of Dementia.   About Dorothy Horne: Dorothy Horne is an author, speaker, and a former award-winning blogger for the Longview News-Journal. She was honored to be named a “Star Over Longview” in 2016.

She had no aspirations to write a book, however when both parents were diagnosed on the same day with Alzheimer's, her journey as their caregiver poured out on paper through Alzheimer's Daughter. After the sadness of her parents decline, life brought her comfort and healing through the formation of AlzAuthors.com, cofounded with Marianne Sciucco and Vicki Tapia. What started as a one-month collaboration has now taken on a thriving life of its own for a decade.   About Carol Bradley Bursack:   Carol Bradley Bursack was a caregiver for an older neighbor and seven aging family members, all of whom are represented by first-person vignettes in Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories. However, Carol wanted to do more than tell her own stories. She wanted to give other caregivers a chance to do the same.   About Christy Byrne Yates:   Christy is an expert in navigating the challenges and opportunities in life including living in the “Sandwich Generation” — that time period of raising children while also caring for an aging loved one. Her book, “Building a Legacy of Love: Thriving in the Sandwich Generation” recounts her journey and learning as a working mother of two who also managed the care of her parents, both of whom had some form of dementia. She incorporates meditation, mindfulness and other evidence based mind/body practices into her work to support growth, resilience, and a pathway to living life fully.

My guest, Dr. Joseph Garcia, was speaking to me from  the Pacific Northwest. As he said, "I'm 15 miles south of Canada and 6 miles in from the water (Pacific Ocean)."Emma was born and raised in Alabama. She moved up North to Milwaukee and started her family in her 40's.  Joseph is so proud of all his mom's accomplishments and is overwhelmed at times by the number of lives she touched.  One of the things that impressed Joseph the most, is that "I never saw my mother get angry, ever in my life."  She was sure to never raise her voice at home, because the look of disappointment  was way more effective than any shouting  could possibly be."Son, you're going to have to do  twice as much, to get half as far," was one of Emma's most memorable expressions. She was trying to prepare her mixed race adopted son for the real world.   In the 1950's, it could be challenging for people of color to find a significant job to help support the family.    Apparently Joseph didn't really have any interest in school as a teen. "It wasn't as important as my social life", say's Joseph.   "My mother would often say "son I know you can do better, you have to decide to do that.  Then she'd walk away."  My guest continues, "children of color were not directed toward the college prep courses back then. But I took advantage of shop class, etc. I learned how to build a house."It wasn't until  seeing the rest of the world that Joseph realized how special his mother was and how fortunate he was growing up.Because Dr. Garcia was adopted and because he was mixed race, he was often bullied and teased by his classmates.   HIs mom wanted to help Joseph be resilient to this intimidation so she would say to her son,  "yeah you're more than one race. We picked a child who had the best qualities of all the races put together into one child."  And Joseph's direct response to these pests was " "yeah my mom chose me. Your parents are stuck with you!"To this day, my guest is still shocked by the hundreds of friends and former students came to his mother's funeral when she passed at 99 years old. "They flew in from all over the country to pay their respect. She influenced so many people."More of Emma's expressions:"I'll rest when I die""I'm too old to be polite. I'm going to tell you the truth""Moss doesn't grow on me and I don't want it to grow on you""You always have to do something before you can do something else. AND there's always somethin""Son, don't pick something up before you have a place to put it down-that's not just stuff, that's people, that's things in your life,  that's everything" Dr. Joseph Garcia's Books:14 Days To Baby Sign LanguageDr. Joseph Garcia's Complete Guide To Baby Sign LanguageDr. Joseph's FingerSpelling BookWEBSITE:https://drjosephgarcia.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqG2kinYPVwb4db5IiF1WF-edK-ttWiCYKK4nJ7hgYC6Upc9Mvdhttps://drjosephgarcia.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Dan cover's some accolades and awards, and Peter looks into the musical score of Nicholas Britell. Jez sets a rather unique icebreaker at the beginning which reveals that Stu is a little bit scared of Syril Karn's mother 'Eedy' (aren't we all?) however he'd also like to go for a drink and possibly sing Karaoke with her. Laced with magical reminders of Season 1, this is the podcast you need in your life.

Trying to stand out in an interview might seem like a smart strategy — but it can actually backfire!This week, Sarah and Emma unpack why your goal shouldn't be to be 'memorable'.

No gimmicks needed!

Graphic designers love to complain about brand guidelines, tight budgets, and impossible client restrictions—but what if those so-called limitations are actually the secret weapon to better design?That's right—constraints don't kill creativity; they fuel it.

 As a young child, Sarah, native to Western Australia, didn't understand the voices and visions inside her head. She didn't understand how she knew things that a 4 year couldn't possibly know. It wasn't until she was older that she came to understand  that she had psychic/intuitive abilities."As a child, I was emotionally and verbally abused by my mother and brother," continues Strong. My mom was  Bipolar/Narcissistic  and that made the situation even complicated. Sarah's father didn't really play a role in her life. Now, Sarah says "he has an anti-role." "He's never been a big presence in my life.  I was a wild child as a kid and growing up. If he'd been in my life when I was young, I would have rejected him anyway.""I have gifts including being a medium, empath, telepath & psychic & I channel the star beings, beings from other dimensions and many other beings of the light including the Ascended Masters, angels, fairies, loved ones on the other side, Jesus, Mother Mary and many more. During a session the channel is opened and guided by your spirit guides," affirms Strong.Ms. Strong gladly professes, "my aim in life is to bring as much joy to everyone in this blessed world as I can," that comes from someone who's had a brutal childhood, made some bad choices and picked herself up again.For more information about Sarah Strong and her work check out her website.

An interview with Rosalito, Graphic Designer.  In this compelling interview, Rosalito shares how an upgraded Wi-Fi router triggered an immediate and life-altering reaction, leading her to recognize and eliminate wireless technology from her life. She reflects on years of anxiety, tinnitus, and immunity issues that she now connects to prolonged EMF exposure—all of which disappeared after removing wireless devices. Keith and Rosalito discuss the social isolation that comes with EMF sensitivity, the widespread denial of wireless addiction, and the medical validation she received that confirmed her only solution was complete avoidance. Rosalito now dedicates her work to raising awareness through her graphic design and website, Rosalito.Art, reaching those who might never actively seek out EMF information. They explore the societal implications of wireless dependence and the urgent need for education, shielding strategies, and informed remediation. Despite the hardships, Rosalito considers her experience a blessing, giving her clarity and purpose in protecting herself and helping others navigate the growing electromagnetic landscape. Hey this is Keith, this month I'm sharing 3 recent episodes from the EMF Remedy Premium podcast so you can see what we've been up to recently -- behind the pay wall.As I record this brief announcement, we have 118 episodes carefully crafted to support both the winning mindset and technical tactics needed to survive the now ubiquitous electromagnetic poisoning.Two new changes to our podcast subscription model -- We're now offering a 7-day free trial, for thoseSupport the showContinue the journey with the EMF Remedy Premium Podcast, with over 110 episodes and counting!

AI is already replacing some Graphic Designers—and if you're not paying attention, you could be next. The scary part? Most Graphic Designers are making it easy for AI to take their place. Whether it's by ignoring it, misusing it, or pretending it's not happening, too many are sleepwalking straight into irrelevance.Meanwhile, the smartest Graphic Designers are flipping the script—using AI to work faster, think bigger, and dominate the industry. The question is: Are you falling behind, or are you using AI to your advantage?In this episode of The Angry Designer, we rip apart the hype and lay out the brutal truth—who AI is actually replacing in graphic design. You'll discover:The two types of AI tools—one that makes you unstoppable, the other that makes you obsoleteHow to use AI to become an absolute weapon in design instead of a victim of automationThe worst mistakes Graphic Designers are making with AI that are costing them their futureIf you're ignoring AI, you're making a mistake. If you're using it the wrong way, you're making a bigger mistake.

 To say that Claire Sinclair is  generous with her time, is an understatement.  She's been a teacher for decades.   And currently she's  teaching kindergarten in the same classroom at the same elementary school she attended.    What's interesting about how our conversation began is that both Claire and her mother  attended Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ and both women married their high school sweethearts, just decades apart.Claire shares stories of the similarities of she and her mom and how much it means to her that so many people from her community still hold her mother close to their heart. Claire's mother, 'Ellie,'  was known as "The Duck Lady" in Maplewood/South Orange NJ. What she started many years ago as a simple race in a brook with plastic ducks has grown to raising tens of thousands of dollars annually for different organizations that help and support kids, ie Kiwanis, Scouts, YMCA, etc. Ellie's mom, Claire's maternal grandmother,  passed away when Ellie was in her 20's. When Ellie's father remarried, there was no real love between she and her step mother so she moved in with one of her favorite aunts, Aunt Fay, her birth mother's sister, who ran a preschool out of her home. Ellie had interests in nursing and/or becoming a teacher but her career was cut short when it was time to start a family. Claire says "she likes to dabble in a little bit of everything, just like her mom."  Claire is involved in community awareness when it comes to food insecure families. She volunteers regularly at local food pantries distributing food as well as keeping her young students involved by organizing can drives at the elementary school. As a board member for MEND, Meeting Essential Needs with Dignity, located throughout Essex County, NJ, Claire regularly sees families in need of help and like her mom, it's hard for her to say no to helping others.Claire is the administrator of a Facebook Group, 'Habitual Gratitude 365' where she shares daily prompts of things that her multitude of followers are grateful for. Again, like her mom, and as a mother, she loves to help others in need.Claire's mother passed away in 2013 but she's left an imprint on the community.  Claire was lucky enough to have one last phone call from her mom and she's so happy that she picked up that call.Claire also has a  park bench in Maplewood Memorial Park, which was dedicated to her mother, by the community, nestled nicely right beside the brook where Ellie started her very first Memorial Day 'Duck Race.' That's where Claire goes on a regular basis to feel her mother's support, love and guidance.Claire Sinclair's Recent book:The Mice Wo Came to Story TimeFacebook Page:Habitual Gratitude 365, Claire Gianni SinclairLinkedIn: Claire SinclairInstagram: clairesinclair, clairesinclairwrites,habitualgratitudeX:Claire Sinclair, MrsSinclairK123, project4kindBleusky:Clairesinclair SHLTMM YOUTUBE CHANNEL: You can now listen to my podcasts on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoUWxgQECqrMqI1ylVH9Dpw         "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 LOOK—but the best Graphic Designers SEE OPPORTUNITIES.  Pros see patterns, strategies, and opportunities. They understand why things work—not just how they look.Most designers are stuck in surface-level thinking, obsessing over aesthetics while missing the bigger picture. If you're only focused on making things look good, you'll never break out of the ‘just a designer' trap—stuck doing low-level work while other designers move ahead. The real game-changers in Graphic Design don't just create—they SEE OPPORTUNITIES.In this episode of The Angry Designer, we're exposing the #1 skill that separates struggling designers from those who land the best clients, bigger paychecks, and creative freedom—seeing opportunities where others don't.We're breaking down 10 ways to SEE the world like a top designer, where you'll discover:

Micheal's been working on his own personal healing journey for a minimum of fifteen years."I walked into therapy for the first time when I was seven years old because someone had molested me," reflects Michael. Michael's been working at changing his life trajectory. It's taken years of being committed to changing his past experiences to better his future.  Michael is now offering  help to others. (All information is below regarding his website, free weekly meet-ups, and his social media links, etc.)This is probably the best advice anyone could give someone with addiction and abuse issues. Michael is sincere when he says "you've got to just make a decision whether or not you're going to walk this path.  If you're tired of your life being a disaster, you're tired of all the things you're going through you're tired of feeling like a victim, and again I'm not taking anyone's victimhood away, I get it, but at some point you got to decide whether or not you're going to take control of your life. And that's the hardest thing that you're going to have to do in this life- is choose yourself.""Hurt people hurt people" Michael repeats. His mother, Donna, was not well and had suffered a life full of abuse, drugs and alcohol, so she was unable to "change the arc of her own life." She tried over and over again to get help. She was in and out of facilities. Said she was going to AA meeting just for Michael's sake and she just couldn't beat it.  According to Michael, "she chose drugs and alcohol over her children and she ultimately destroyed everything that she touched."Michael never had his biological father in his life. But what he did have were abusive step fathers which of course, did not help the situation.This story that Michael shares is very personal. He mentioned that he hasn't really had many of these kinds of open conversation, specifically about his mother, so I appreciate Michael trusting me with his story.It's not an easy journey. "Michael  often has to explain  that "I don't think people know how hard this work is, to change the arc of your life." There are lots of scars, but there is hope. And it is possible to design your own destiny. Michael UnbrokenListen to the Think Unbroken Podcastwww.ThinkUnbrokenPodcast.com  Read Think Unbroken. #1 On Amazonwww.ThinkUnbroken.com/paperback@MichaelUnbroken@ThinkUnbrokenFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/MichaelAnthonyUnbroken "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 taught to create, not sell—and that's exactly why so many talented designers stay broke. The harsh reality? Talent alone won't make you successful.The industry is full of insanely skilled designers who struggle to make ends meet while less talented ones cash in—because they get it: design is a business.And no one understood that better than Andy Warhol.Warhol didn't just create art—he built a brand, scaled his work, and turned creativity into cold, hard cash (while actually enjoying the ride). While traditional artists clung to their so-called “purity,” Warhol mass-produced art in his legendary Factory, treating his career like an enterprise. And guess what? It worked.In this episode of The Angry Designer, we tear into:The 4 Warhol strategies designers can steal to scale, market, and sell betterWhy branding yourself is just as important as the work you createThe myth of originality—and why Warhol proved it doesn't matterIt's time to stop thinking like a starving artist and start thinking like a creative entrepreneur. If you're sick of being overlooked while mediocre designers make bank, this is the episode for you.Hit play and start building your Warhol-level empire.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?
