Documenting the hard truths of history with filmmaker Frederick Murphy

Our Connected Culture

Welcome to another season of our connected culture, this one focused on unmasking the past to imagine better futures. Join us in the coming days and weeks to explore how we can learn from hard human history while growing the community we need to grow a kinder world together. We are again returning to Rockbridge Regional Libraries, which joined us in hosting a screening of documentary the indelible Appalachians and a virtual conversion with filmmaker Frederick Murphy. The film explores the history, present, and future of Black identity in Appalachia – and we're sharing our conversation with Murphy where we explore both the content of the film and his experience as a creative documenting difficult history related to slavery in the American South. That fellowship cohort included author Paul Park – who listeners may remember from our first season as a peer and close friend of the late Terry Bisson – who helped us with the future and fiction-focused elements of the conversation. Plus, the fellows were also joined by local black history scholar Dr. Nneka Dennie – an expert on abolitionist Mary Ann Shadd Cary, a key figure in the MidMountain produced folk opera “Save from Oblivion” that we'll discuss more at length later in this season. Also, speaking of community: if you're listening to this as it's being released you can join us in person for our MidMountain Masquerade on October 25 from 2pm through 10pm! There'll be opportunities to make your own masks and marionettes, a harvest potluck to share meals, a masquerade with costume contest, live music, and more. Find out more at midmountain.org/masquerade. As a reminder, Our Connected Culture is a production of MidMountain, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, arts collective, and agricultural project operating out of MidMountain Retreat, a five acre riverfront arts space in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Natural Bridge, Virginia. You can check our community calendar for upcoming events or other opportunities to visit, like residencies where we offer discounted stays for folks who want to work on creative projects. Plus, MidMountain Retreat is also available for rent out on Airbnb and VRBO for non-art stays!

Some conversations change lives. Others change the way we think about how we have them.In this episode, I share the lesson I took from Dr. Rahul Jandial, world-renowned brain surgeon, neuroscientist, and author, about the quiet power of the pause.Rahul has delivered some of the hardest news anyone can hear. And what he's learned is that it's not just the words that matter, it's what happens after them. In those seconds of silence, people begin to process, to find their footing, to summon the courage for what comes next.It's a habit we can all use. At work when we're giving feedback. At home in tough conversations. In moments with friends when they trust us enough to share what's really going on.In this episode, we explore:How silence builds trust faster than reassuranceThe neuroscience behind giving people space to thinkWhy the pause can change the way we lead, comfort, and connectHow to practice it in your everyday lifeIf you've ever wanted to show up better in the conversations that matter most, this one's for you.Here is more information on the studies referenced: Physician–Patient Communication: The Relationship With Malpractice Claims (Wendy Levinson et al., JAMA 1997)How to Stop Saying “Um,” “Ah,” and “You Know” Harvard Business ReviewListen to the full episode with Dr. Rahul Jandial: https://pod.fo/e/251425

Hard truths aren't fun—but they are the key to your growth as a soulpreneur. When you're a team of one, it's easy to romanticize the perks of entrepreneurship—freedom over your time, creative control, and the ability to set your own prices.

In this episode, you'll learn: The surprising reason freedom without structure can become a liability (and how to flip it into your greatest advantage) Why your pricing says more about your self-worth than you might realize The uncomfortable truth about being your own bottleneck—and how to break free from it If you're ready to see your business with clearer eyes, embrace the messy middle, and use the sting of truth as a catalyst for your next level, this conversation is for you.

Black Hat USA 2025 has wrapped, and for Sean Martin, CISSP, Co-Founder of ITSPmagazine, and Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder of ITSPmagazine, the end of the event is both an exhale and a moment to reflect on what was learned, heard, and felt. After days of conversations with industry leaders, CISOs, vendors, and attendees from around the globe, one recurring message stands out: cybersecurity decision-makers are tired of buzzwords and hungry for real solutions.Sean shares that during sessions and informal meetups, CISOs expressed frustration with marketing pitches that fail to connect to their real challenges. Sitting across from security leaders, marketers heard it directly—stop with the jargon and explain how your solution genuinely makes their lives easier, reduces stress, and improves security outcomes. In other words, trust and honesty carry far more weight than flashy claims.Marco emphasizes that hype not only wastes time but also adds “noise” to the already complex job of running a security program. The more a vendor can be direct about what they do—and what they don't do—the more likely they are to earn a lasting relationship with a CISO and their team. Both agree that connecting the dots between a product and an organization's operational reality is key: what does adoption require, how will it fit into existing systems, and will it force a major operational shift?Beyond the messaging critique, the duo reflects on the community element of Black Hat. They reconnected with peers, met new contacts from as far as Toronto, and discussed future events in places like Melbourne, Barcelona, and Amsterdam. They also teased the upcoming “Transatlantic Broadcast” podcast series, which will explore cybersecurity voices from across Europe while maintaining a global view.While the Black Hat booths are now dismantled and the floors mopped, the conversations are far from over. Sean and Marco head back to Los Angeles ready to produce interviews, publish articles, and share the many stories captured during the week—stories that cut through the noise and get to the heart of what matters in cybersecurity.___________Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974BlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebAkamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcDropzoneAI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641Stellar Cyber: https://itspm.ag/stellar-9dj3___________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from our Black Hat USA 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/bhusa25Learn more about ITSPmagazine Studio: https://www.itspmagazine.studio/Learn more about ITSPmagazine Europe: https://www.itspmagazine.com/europeCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageITSPmagazine Webinar: What's Heating Up Before Black Hat 2025: Place Your Bet on the Top Trends Set to Shake Up this Year's Hacker Conference — An ITSPmagazine Thought Leadership Webinar | https://www.crowdcast.io/c/whats-heating-up-before-black-hat-2025-place-your-bet-on-the-top-trends-set-to-shake-up-this-years-hacker-conferenceWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Pivot Family — you asked, and here we are. Your favorite trio is back: Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder reunite to break down the real stories behind this summer's hottest headlines. From sports and culture to relationships and personal growth, the guys tackle life's toughest pivots—and how one decision can change everything. As always, it's raw, honest, and layered with perspective—locker room wisdom served with laughs, truth, pain, and growth. Lists and rankings are just opinions, and you know what the people say about opinions, so this week, the crew reminds us why impact over income is often the better path. They dive into the cost of fame and the price of trusting the wrong people—like Rams star Puka Nacua's public relationship fallout, and how young athletes with good hearts often get burned. Tyler Lockett's story of remaining a virgin until marriage at 30 opens up a powerful conversation on discipline, faith, identity, and resisting the pressure to perform—on and off the field. But you already know—Channing's take is going to have you in tears laughing, the things he comes up with is just one of a kind! When it comes to sports and culture no topic's off limits: Cam Newton's callout of Jayden Daniels—was it personal? RC says this was a moment Cam should have taken a chance to be wrong instead of go for the sophomore slump chatter. Gillie da Kid's “young bulls ain't taking my spot” energy—is that confidence or stuck in old ways? Asante Samuel coming for Chris Carter—what does it say about legends letting go or how OG's treat rising stars? Then things get a little more serious.... Naomi Osaka's emotional return to the spotlight sparks a vulnerable dialogue on mental health, pressure, and what it means when even greatness doesn't feel like enough. The guys speak openly about loss, injuries, failure, and the quiet battles no one sees. And finally, with Texas devastated by recent flooding, they reflect on how life can shift in an instant—regardless of status or success. Tragedy doesn't discriminate. And as always, The Pivot is about more than just moving on—it's about moving forward with intention, purpose, and gratitude.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 5, 2025 is: cantankerous • kan-TANK-uh-rus • adjective A cantankerous person is often angry and annoyed, and a cantankerous animal or thing is difficult or irritating to deal with. // Although the former postman was regarded by some townspeople as a scowling, cantankerous old coot, he was beloved by neighborhood children, to whom he would regularly hand out butterscotch candies from his front stoop with a twinkle in his eye. See the entry > Examples: “The film ‘Hard Truths,' which opens in New York on Friday and nationwide in January, centers on [Marianne] Jean-Baptiste's Pansy, a cantankerous middle-aged woman who spits venom at unsuspecting shop assistants, bald babies, her 20-something son Moses (Tuwaine Barrett) and her dentist, among others.” — Simran Hans, The New York Times, 9 Dec. 2024 Did you know? A person described as cantankerous may find it more difficult than most to turn that frown upside down, while a cantankerous mule/jalopy/etc. is difficult to deal with—it may not turn in your desired direction. It's been speculated that cantankerous is a product of the obsolete word contack, meaning “contention,” under the influence of a pair of “difficult” words still in use: rancorous and cankerous. Rancorous brings the anger and “bitter deep-seated ill will” (as rancor can be understood to mean), and cankerous brings the perhaps understandable foul mood: a cankerous person suffers from painful sores—that is, cankers.

Today, Doug and I talk about rebuilding strength and order in our lives and instilling it in our boys, how exactly men can step up against the lunacy and degeneracy we see in modern culture, why men make inferior women and vice versa, why reality calls for us, as men, to reckon with the dangerous times in which we live, and why masculinity cannot (and, should not) be legislated away.
