Podcasts about Handley

In the past couple of weeks, two smart people looked at the same moment in AI and came away with opposite advice. Matt Shumer says wake up, this is urgent, denial is dangerous. Ann Handley says slow down, stop panicking, protect your judgment. I agree with both of them. And yet I think their arguments are incomplete. In this episode, I offer a third stance: value doesn't just vanish during disruption. It gets rebundled. Reorganized. Repackaged into new bundles of tasks, trust, judgment, and responsibility. And whoever understands that process early gets to position themselves on the right side of it. I steelman both arguments, push back on both, and then spend the bulk of the episode on what excites me most: the new paths opening up for writers and marketing professionals right now. And why this is all scary and very exciting at the same time! What You'll Learn Why Shumer is right about urgency and capability, and where his argument breaks down Why Handley is right about protecting your agency, and the uncomfortable question her advice raises What "value rebundling" means and why it matters more than any AI prediction Three rebundling patterns reshaping how work gets organized Why the career ladder is breaking and what replaces it Whether "slow down" is a luxury belief, and how runway changes which advice applies to you Three new business paths for writers and marketers (Micro-Agency of One, Productized Workflow, Operator-Teacher) Four additional micro business examples to expand your thinking Why anything you build from here may have a shorter shelf life, and why that's actually freeing Four practical plays you can run this week, including a 14-day micro-offer challenge Key Ideas and Takeaways 1. Both Sides Are Partly Right: Shumer is right about the engine. Handley is right about the road. AI capabilities can jump fast AND adoption can still be messy. These are different layers of the same reality. 2. Value Gets Rebundled: Jobs are bundles of tasks, responsibility, trust, and context. AI lowers the cost of tasks. Organizations redesign the bundle. The question isn't "Will my job disappear?" It's "What will my work be repackaged into?" If you do nothing, someone else rebundles you. 3. Three Rebundling Patterns: The Orchestrator: human value shifts to scoping outcomes, setting standards, making tradeoffs, and integrating outputs. This is product thinking, not prompting. The Judgment Premium: when speed is cheap, the bottleneck moves to accuracy, brand risk, accountability, and trust. Judgment becomes more valuable where stakes are high. The Adaptive Builder: durable edge goes to people who experiment fast, chain tools into workflows, ship, measure, and rebuild when the tools change. 4. Runway Changes Everything: Your financial position determines which advice even applies to you. If your runway is short, your first goal should be financial runway. Reduce burn, increase reliable income, create a second stream. Runway gives you options. Options give you agency. 5. New Paths Beyond Your Current Job Frame: AI collapsed the cost of building. You can rebundle value outside companies, on your own terms. 6. Shorter Shelf Lives Are the New Normal: Anything you build from now on will likely have a shorter lifespan than you're used to. That's okay. The durable skill is getting good at building, shipping, learning, and rebuilding. That cycle is the skill. 7. Speed Without Panic, Intention Without Paralysis: No denial. No doom. No thrash. Choose one lane, build one proof asset, ship one offer. The future belongs to finishers. Action Steps Push AI into your hardest, most time-consuming work. One hour a day, one workflow per week. Identify what compounds in your work (judgment, taste, relationships) and protect it. Automate what doesn't. Map your work on the stakes/trust 2x2 grid. Migrate toward high-stakes, high-trust work. Launch one fixed-scope micro-offer in 14 days. Build proof. Ship. Iterate.

On Sunday, January 25th, Taren Handley spoke on the importance of words. Delving into James 3:3-5, she provided four practical ways to replace counterfeit words with God's word. Speak scripture out loud, choose voices that speak truth and encourage, learn to sit quietly with God and listen, and discern through community. We pray that this message blesses you, encourages you and ultimately draws you closer to our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Send us a textSnow shut down the games, but it couldn't stop the stories. We sit down with Mike Arculin to explore how Handley pride shows up in real life—from Baltimore Federal Hill to youth soccer sidelines, from neighborhood festivals to late-night group texts that span decades. What starts as a weather update turns into a tour of connection: coaching kids, building community, and keeping the Winchester bond alive even when life pulls us in every direction.We talk music as a civic force. Mike shares how Roses N Rust found its groove, why Hoodstock has raised over a million dollars for local causes, and how classmates like Quaye and Justin keep releasing work that actually says something. If you're a fan of live bands and guitar heroes, you'll love the nods to Hendrix, Tom Morello, Vernon Reid, and Billy Strings—and the way those influences filter back into hometown stages.Sports anchor the conversation too. We revisit legends from the Shenandoah Valley—Lang Campbell, Stephon Johnson, standout wrestlers—and the coaches who turned programs into pipelines. The takeaway isn't just trophies; it's character. Mentors create a culture where kids learn to persevere, to lead, and to give back. That same spirit drives our own projects and the people we highlight, from youth coaching to community events that bring neighbors together.We close with local headlines and open invitations: thoughts on Winchester's new city manager, and a heads-up on our next guest, Millbrook kicker Mason Savage. If you care about community, mentorship, sports, and music—or just want a reminder that small towns can have a big reach—this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I'm joined by Richard Handley, author of The Hawks Are Not Dying, a novel rooted in real events that helped shape modern Ojai, which could have easily looked very different.Set in the early 1980s, The Hawks Are Not Dying follows a man who finds purpose — and unexpected romance — while joining a scrappy coalition of activists determined to stop a shopping-center development from destroying the meadows he loves. Along the way, the story brings to life many of the real people who stood up to overdevelopment and helped protect Ojai from becoming another Southern California sprawl, threatened by freeways, gypsum and uranium mines, and unchecked growth.In our conversation, Richard reflects on the preservation battles that defined an era, the personalities who shaped Ojai's environmental ethic, and how storytelling can carry civic memory forward. We also explore his work in Western Australia, where he developed education programs with Aboriginal communities — an experience that deepened his understanding of land, culture, and stewardship.We did not talk about Heath Ledger, barramundi fishing or the Great Barrier Reef.This episode is a meditation on activism, love of place, and the quiet heroism of people who say “no” when it matters most.

We dig deep in our conversation for what amounts to a very informative discussion that you're sure to enjoy so don't miss it!

Honest Overview Let's cut the small talk and get straight to the marrow. Brandon Handley isn't just wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving; he's handing you the blueprint to your own evolution. We're sitting here discussing the Hero's Journey—not because we're writing a screenplay, but because it is the undeniable architecture of high-stakes sales, addiction recovery, and relentless personal growth. You think you're just hitting a wall in your business? You think that burnout is random? It's not. It's a pattern. Campbell identified it, Hollywood monetized it, but you? You have to survive it to cash in. Handley breaks down the 12 steps, proving that whether you're white-knuckling a steering wheel outside a liquor store or waiting for legal to sign a massive contract, the psychological arc is exactly the same. Here is the gritty truth about where you are and where you're going: The Call and The Refusal: It starts with a whisper or a meltdown. You know the current routine—the "Ordinary World"—is dead. But then comes the fear. The Imposter Syndrome. The "who am I to lead this?" That doubt isn't a stop sign; it's the entry fee. The Point of No Return: You meet the mentor (maybe it's a person, maybe it's a program), and you cross the threshold. You surrender the need for total control. You stop waiting for permission to lead and you step into the unknown. The Ordeal in the Cave: This is the part nobody puts on Instagram. You face the "Inmost Cave." The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. In sales, this is confronting your insecurity. In recovery, it's sitting with the emotions you used to numb. This is where the old identity dies so the new one can breathe. The Resurrection & Return: You don't just come back; you come back changed. You return with the "elixir"—the wisdom to mentor others, to lead teams with empathy, and to win because of who you are, not who you're pretending to be. The Edge: Hacking the Identity Handley isn't just talking theory; he's engineering the outcome. He's using AI to compose music that reinforces the new identity and breathwork to embody the journey physically. Why? Because imprinting must happen before expression. You have to see it and feel it internally before it shows up in your bank account. The Stakes This is about Superhuman Selling. The market doesn't need another script robot. It needs you—the grounded, aligned, gritty version of you. The version that stopped asking, "Am I enough?" and started playing the game on a mythic level. Stop trying to be "Sales Guy." Be the hero of your own damn story. If you're ready to win from your true identity, it's time to cross the threshold

Hear from Rio Handley, Associate Regional Director of East Asia and Oceania, about how God has been at work as she has lived in different homes and held different roles over the course of her years in missions. "I feel at home where God has placed me. I feel at home at the center of His will." "I've seen the grace of God in my life, and I've seen how God moves." "Missions is not just the missionary's responsibility; missions is the church's responsibility." "We cannot put missionaries on a pedestal because we are all part of one Body, and when God calls people to missions, it has to be the whole church in support of that." "Being a teacher and being intentional in doing missions is very important." "Being a teacher is having that connection in the lives of your students and that opportunity to change lives and let alone the opportunity to share life [and] Jesus Christ."

As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, Winchester's Jim Barnett Park becomes a hub of activity, welcoming families and residents from across the region. In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael sat down with Chris Konyar, Winchester City Parks Director, to explore the vibrant lineup of fall and winter events, new amenities, and the enduring community spirit that defines the city's Parks and Recreation Department. A Season of Festivities The conversation kicks off with a preview of the much-anticipated Spooky Fun event, a Halloween celebration that has quickly become a local favorite. Scheduled for October 17th, the event transforms the Parks and Rec Center into a festive wonderland, complete with trick-or-treating, a “touch a truck” experience featuring fire engines and police cars, music, costumes, and the ever-popular “boo bundle” s'mores by the fire pit. This year, a new Spooky Trolley Trail adds to the excitement, offering families a guided tour through creatively decorated scenes in the park. The fun doesn't stop there. The following Friday, October 24th, brings the Boo Bounce Bash, where the gym is filled with giant inflatables, games, and refreshments. “If you want to wear out your child and guarantee a good night's sleep, this is the event for you,” Chris jokes, noting that the event's popularity keeps families coming back year after year. Kicking Off the Holidays No sooner does Halloween wrap up than the city gears up for its annual Christmas parade, traditionally held the Monday after Thanksgiving. Janet and Chris discuss the logistics and traditions behind the parade, from the limited number of entries to the grand finale tree lighting in Old Town Winchester. The parade, which draws crowds from across the area, is a cherished kickoff to the holiday season, complete with Santa Claus and dazzling decorations. Programs for All Ages Beyond seasonal events, Winchester Parks & Rec offers a robust slate of ongoing programs. “Wee Ones Wednesday” provides preschoolers with a safe, active space to play, socialize, and participate in crafts and story time. The program's popularity has led to expanded sessions, ensuring more families can take part. Youth sports are another cornerstone, with basketball leagues for children ages five to fourteen and swim lessons in the indoor pool. Chris emphasizes the importance of early participation, not just for skill-building but for fostering teamwork and confidence. The department's inclusive approach means that both city residents and non-residents are welcome, with only minor differences in program fees. New Amenities and Improvements The conversation also highlights recent upgrades and additions to the park. A state-of-the-art golf simulator now allows golfers to practice and play virtual rounds year-round, regardless of weather. The park has also seen infrastructure improvements, including new restrooms, fencing, and dugouts at the Handley softball field, as well as enhanced lighting for safety and evening events. A Regional Destination Janet and Chris are quick to point out that Jim Barnett Park is more than just a city park—it's a regional destination. With amenities like the indoor pool, diverse programming, and a welcoming atmosphere, the park attracts visitors from neighboring counties and even West Virginia. The department's monthly newsletter keeps the community informed about upcoming events, registration deadlines, and new offerings. Building Community, One Event at a Time Throughout the conversation, a common theme emerges: Winchester Parks & Rec is dedicated to building community and creating lasting memories for families. Whether it's through festive events, youth programs, or new facilities, the department's efforts ensure that everyone—regardless of age or background—can find something to enjoy. As the episode wraps up, Janet thanks Chris for his time and enthusiasm, eager to check out the new golf simulator herself. With a full calendar of activities and a commitment to continuous improvement, Winchester's parks are poised to remain a beloved gathering place for years to come.

This episode features an interview with Dr. Derek G. Handley, author of the book Struggle for the City: Citizenship and Resistance in the Black Freedom Movement. Dr. Handley is an Associate Professor in the English Department at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. He is also affiliated faculty in the African and African Diaspora Studies Department and in the Urban Studies program. Before that, he was a Chamberlain Project Fellow in English and Black Studies at Amherst College and a Predoctoral Mellon Fellow at the James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference at Emory University. He has taught at Lehigh University, the United States Naval Academy, and the Community College of Allegheny County in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Currently, he is co-director of the digital humanities project “Mapping Racism and Resistance,” which maps racial covenants in Milwaukee County and uncovers Black resistance to such discrimination. In this interview, we discuss his concept of Black rhetorical citizenship, the role of Black women in the civil rights movement in the urban North, the plays of August Wilson, and housing covenants that prevented Black people from purchasing or renting particular properties throughout much of the twentieth century. This episode features a clip from the song "The City" by The Kyoto Connection. Episode Transcript
