Kelly, as Evel Knievel's son and brand manager, what does it mean to you to see your father's legacy brought to life in his first-ever full-length comic series?2. Rylend, what drew you to Evel Knievel as a character for a comic, and how did you approach blending historical fact with fictional storytelling?3. The series is set during the lead-up to the Caesars Palace fountain jump. How did you decide which real-life events to keep and which moments to fictionalize?4. For readers who may not be familiar with Evel beyond the stunts, what do you hope The Last Gladiator will teach them about who he was as a person?5. The comic promises high-octane action and a modern-day Western feel. Can you walk us through the visual and narrative choices that give the series that unique tone?6.

In this powerful and uplifting episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes international speaker, entrepreneur, and speaking coach Marianne Hickman. Known for her remarkable journey from food stamps in Utah to igniting stages in 17 countries, Marianne shares her authentic story of resilience, transformation, and the transformative magic of sharing your message with the world. A Journey Fueled by Hardship and Hope Marianne pulls listeners in with her unfiltered account of what life was like before her first intentional speaking opportunity. Growing up as the youngest of ten in a family of high achievers, Marianne describes the emotional and financial challenges that nearly broke her spirit—marriage and motherhood at an early age, raising five kids, concerning debt, and the humbling experience of relying on food stamps and government support. She humorously and candidly recounts driving the family's old Mazda minivan through Provo, Utah, wrestling with frustration at “doing everything right” but still struggling financially. On that pivotal drive, she describes a personal, almost confrontational conversation with God: she demanded either a box of money on her porch or proximity to someone who could teach her “the money game.” Fate complied—not with cash, but with access to mentors and examples who showed her how to turn her personal story, pain, inspiration, and lessons into sustainable, purpose-driven speaking. Discovering the Power of Storytelling Marianne's turning points didn't come in the fashion of overnight success. She opens up about her early speaking opportunities, from her church putting her on stage as a child (admitting churches “knock the stage fright right out of you”), to attending seminars as a “seminar junkie” and stumbling accidentally into her first significant co-facilitator role. She shares a vivid anecdote about a seminar where she witnessed a speaker sell out $300 worth of resources to 700 people in a single session—redefining for her the possibilities of influence from the stage. But more than money or surface-level success, Marianne found her purpose in influence that creates real change. She connects the dots between mastering communication, having a message rooted in authentic experience, and the responsibility to use that message to help others transform their lives. Overcoming Fear & Transforming Mindset A key theme throughout the episode is the fear and self-doubt that come with stepping onto a stage—physical or virtual. Marianne boldly confesses to battling “me-centered” anxieties: Am I good enough? Will I forget my content? Does my outfit look okay? But she reveals a paradigm-shifting piece of wisdom: “Stage fright is inherently selfish.” By focusing less on herself and more on serving her audience, giving value, and tuning in to their needs, her nerves are transformed into purpose. She dives deep into the importance of mindset, using humorous and relatable family anecdotes (like being head-butted by a sheep at a photo shoot) to illustrate how what's inside you gets squeezed out under pressure—onstage or off. For Marianne, developing a resilient mindset and sharing stories from a “healed scar, not an open wound,” are essential for authentic, impactful speaking. Lessons from Failure & the Power of Humor Marianne isn't shy about her early speaking “cringe moments,” sharing how watching her old keynotes taught her humility and the value of self-compassion. She stresses the importance of ongoing learning and giving oneself permission to be funny and human—citing icons like Robin Williams as examples of using humor to make difficult topics accessible and healing. Building a Signature Message—and an Income With practical steps and hard-won wisdom, Marianne walks listeners through the essentials of building a signature presentation. She describes her 10-step keynote blueprint—an adaptable framework that brings stories, lessons, and audience participation together in a way that's psychologically powerful and emotionally relevant. Marianne unpacks the different business models for speakers: the traditional stage fee route (getting paid for keynote sessions at associations or universities), and a more scalable, sustainable approach—offering resources, free tools, or courses to your audience as a seamless next step after speaking. She even shares how simple tools and free resources (like her podcast database) can organically lead to recurring revenue by fulfilling audience needs. Advice for Aspiring Speakers For anyone terrified of public speaking, Marianne's advice is refreshingly simple and actionable: Get the reps in. Start small by going live on social media for two minutes a day—practice is the only way through the fear. She assures listeners that everyone starts small, and reminds us, “Even if no one shows up, just do it anyway.” Authenticity and impact, according to Marianne, come down to personal growth and honesty. It's not about presenting a perfect, drama-free life, but about being real, vulnerable, and committed to ongoing evolution. Your message doesn't have to be traumatic or “the biggest”—it just needs to be yours, rooted in lessons learned and a desire to help others. Trends and Changes in the Speaking Industry Marianne and Wize riff on the post-COVID explosion in digital stages, especially podcasts, and the democratization (and challenges) of getting visible in an increasingly crowded market. She notes the importance of longevity—just “keeping going” in the face of comparison and distraction—as well as becoming the “purest version of yourself,” rather than trying to emulate others. Standing out means embracing your unique strengths, flaws, and quirks. What's Next? And Marianne's Final Message Marianne closes by sharing her plans for upcoming books (“Uninfluenced”), women's and couples retreats for speakers, and her ambition to put people on a million stages and help them make a billion dollars doing it. But her message for listeners—especially those who feel “too small” to get on stage—is about snuffing out the lies of self-doubt. Every voice matters, and the world needs more good people who know how to use their story for positive change. Call to Action If you're feeling the fire to get your message out or want to explore paid speaking, Marianne welcomes listeners to reach out directly for guidance, resources, or just a supportive conversation. Wize signs off with an invitation: Share this episode with someone whose story deserves the spotlight—they might be “one stage away from everything they've been dreaming of.” Key Episode Themes: Turning adversity and setbacks into platforms for success The role of mindset and self-talk in overcoming speaking anxiety The power of storytelling for influence, impact, and income Authenticity, vulnerability, and the ethics of sharing your story Building sustainable success as a speaker, onstage and off Practical first steps for aspiring speakers Navigating a changing speaking landscape post-COVID The value of individuality and consistency over comparison — For anyone feeling “stuck” and wondering if their story or voice could ever matter, this episode is a must-listen. Marianne Hickman proves that even the most unlikely beginnings can lead to stages that change not only your life, but the lives of others.

Cleveland Browns assistant general manager Catherine Hickman made a fool of herself during a press conference. On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock reveals why Hickman is totally unqualified for her job, how DEI propelled her to the top, and why Hickman's embarrassing performance at the media briefing put the delusion of gender equality on full display. Whitlock also weighs in on Johnny Manziel saying he will hate the Cleveland Browns “forever”; Deion Sanders doubling down on his questionable use of time-outs in the Colorado Buffaloes' loss to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets; Malcolm Gladwell backing down from statements he made about trans athletes participating in women's sports; the origins of the beef between Ray Lewis and Shannon Sharpe; and how so much controversy is contrived through Twitter, which drives cowardice. Later on, Whitlock unpacks comments Mike Tirico made about University of Syracuse students wanting a celebrity career akin to Stephen A. Smith, rather than a “meat-and-potatoes” reporting job like Bob Costas had. Another eclectic, entertaining, and enlightening show today! Learn more about your ad choices.

Climate Education for YouthClimate education has the potential to drive the public towards climate science literacy, an individual's understanding of their influence on climate and climate's influence on them and society. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a climate-literate person: understands the essential principles of Earth's climate system,knows how to assess scientifically credible information about climate,communicates about climate and climate change in a meaningful way, andis able to make informed and responsible decisions with regard to actions that may affect climate.Climate change education is more than just science education; it is an interdisciplinary topic that involves understanding the relationship between climate change, history, economics, social studies, and more. A robust and interdisciplinary climate education provides an understanding of the large-scale social transformation necessary to increase climate resiliency and implement effective solutions.Empowering Future Solution Makers Climate education can provide younger generations with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that are necessary to make more environmentally informed decisions. By equipping students with a thorough understanding of climate science and illuminating the scientific process utilized by climate scientists, students become armed to critically assess climate discourse and solutions. Moreover, climate education fosters a sense of agency: youth may grow up to vote for climate positive policies, pursue careers that strive towards climate solutions, have a more eco-conscious lifestyle, or facilitate constructive conversations with family members and friends. Implementing effective climate solutions relies on an informed public, and climate education provides youth with a starting point to act as agents of positive change amidst our planetary emergency. Additionally, climate education can provide youth with the tools necessary to alleviate and cope with climate anxiety. A 2021 Lancet Study asked 10,000 young people between the ages of 16–25 in ten countries what they felt about climate change, and found that more than 50% of young people reported experiencing sadness, anxiety, anger, powerlessness, helplessness, and guilt. Effective climate education will not only help youth understand the causes and impacts of climate change, but it will also provide young people with insight on how they can contribute to solutions and exercise their own agency to make meaningful changes. Further, climate education can provide coping strategies by fostering hope and highlighting the collective efforts being made to address climate change. Barriers to Effective Climate Education According to an article from Science, data from 1500 public middle- and high-school science teachers from all 50 US states found that the median teacher devotes only one to two hours to climate change instruction. Climate confusion among U.S. teachers further contributes to this educational gap within American education, and limited training and scientific consensus among teachers leads to mixed messages. For example, the research published in Science found that of the teachers who teach climate change, “31% report sending explicitly contradictory messages, emphasizing both the scientific consensus that recent global warming is due to human activity and that many scientists believe recent increases in temperature are due to natural causes.” Progress in climate science and scientific consensus have outpaced teachers' training. Additionally, teachers may face political threats and external pressures from parents or administration to avoid climate instruction. Teachers' lack of knowledge on climate science and exclusion of climate instruction is further compounded by variations in learning standards and requirements. Climate education within the US faces challenges due to the absence of consensus on the inclusion of climate change in educational curricula and the absence of national science standards on the subject. In 2013, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) were developed and recommended that human-made climate change be taught in all science classes beginning in fifth grade. However, these standards remain voluntary, and 44 states have used the NGSS or created standards based on them. Since 2007, The Campaign for Environmental Literacy has continued to organize stakeholders and push for passage of the Climate Change Education Act, leading to the subsequent efforts to reintroduce and pass the bill four times since then. Despite these efforts, federal grants to fund climate change education projects have been miniscule and initiatives in Congress to support climate change education have been unsuccessful. New Jersey became a pioneer in climate education in 2020, becoming the first state to mandate the teaching of climate change beginning in kindergarten. Notably, New Jersey has taken an interdisciplinary approach to climate education as students are learning about climate change in ceramics and physical education classes. Making Climate Change Education Accessible and Engaging for YouthOutside of the traditional classroom setting, many environmental organizations, activists, content creators, and informal education institutions like museums or zoos provide opportunities for students to engage in climate education. Collectively, these actors play critical roles as environmental educators who bridge the educational gaps related to climate change and increase climate literacy amongst young people. In an era dominated by digital communication, media serves as a dynamic and influential tool in climate education initiatives. In a survey conducted by the EdWeek Research Center, social media emerged as the third most frequently mentioned source of information on climate change amongst teenagers. Young people consume climate-related media through various social media platforms, like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Environmental educators understand that leveraging various forms of media allows them to create engaging, relatable, and inspiring climate education for today's youth. While leveraging these platforms to educate youth and the wider public on climate change, storytelling remains a central element. Media-driven climate education empowers environmental educators to effectively break down barriers and make climate science more accessible, relatable, and inspiring for youth of all ages. Who is Suzie Hicks?Suzie Hicks is an award-winning filmmaker, author and television host specializing in environmental communication for kids of all ages.

The world has gone mad, crazy, and is out of control many say.  But what does God say about the crazy mixed up world?  In the midst of the storms of life He is there to comfort us.  To calm us in the middle of the storm, not to necessarily calm the storm.  The Apostle Paul dealt with a time at the church in Corinth where they needed comforting and who did God use?  A person.  An imperfect person.  A person with flaws, but a person who sought after God and in so doing was able to bring comfort to the church at Corinth.  Who was that person, Titus.  As God comforts us we must comfort others.  You can give away what you don't have.  Position yourself in a way where God's comfort and overwhelm you instead of life doing it.

Guests: • Jacob Steiner – Brand Ambassador, Robert Mondavi Winery • Jessika Hickman – Field Sales Manager, Constellation Brands • Jennifer Alexander – Key Account Manager (On-Premise), Lippman Brothers⸻Episode OverviewIn this episode, we sit down for an impromptu but lively conversation with three people shaping the way wine is experienced and sold in Nashville and beyond. From Napa Valley to Broadway, we dig into the history, trends, and future of wine in America.Jacob shares his journey from Southern California surf kid to Napa Valley sommelier, his climb through the Court of Master Sommeliers, and what it's like to represent one of the most iconic names in American wine. Jessika brings her insight on how trends are shifting in Nashville's dining scene—where tequila, mocktails, and even THC drinks are competing for space alongside wine lists. Jennifer, with her deep background in sales and relationships, rounds out the discussion with a boots-on-the-ground perspective from one of Tennessee's leading distributors.⸻Key Topics We Discuss • The Robert Mondavi Legacy: How Robert Mondavi helped put Napa Valley—and American wines—on the global map. • Jacob's Wine Journey: From hosting at King's Fish House to Napa Valley, Montana, and beyond, plus his pursuit of the Master Sommelier certification. • Wine Education: The difference between WSET and the Court of Master Sommeliers, and what it really takes to blind taste at the advanced level. • Shifting Consumer Trends: • Sauvignon Blanc's surge in popularity (California, New Zealand, and Napa styles). • Portuguese wines as an approachable entry to European reds. • Why Pinot Noir still rules and Merlot is making a comeback. • The Nashville Angle: • How over-saturation of restaurants is reshaping the market. • Why more guests are choosing mocktails, THC seltzers, and low/no-ABV options. • The tension between “what's new” and what has stood the test of time. • Mondavi's Future: Sustainability, organic certification, cutting-edge winemaking technology, and the brand's recommitment to its Napa Valley estate.⸻Memorable Moments • Jacob explaining the Court of Master Sommeliers exam process and what it's like to be grilled on every wine region in the world. • The group laughing about the impact of “Sideways”—how one line in a movie crushed Merlot's reputation for decades. • A candid discussion about the post-pandemic relationship with alcohol, mocktails, and how restaurants adapt. • Jennifer reflecting on her liquor store roots and how being a “chameleon” in relationships has fueled her success. • Jacob's final takeaway: “Wine doesn't have to be fancy all the time. Drink it with friends, enjoy it, and have fun.”⸻Why You Should ListenIf you love wine, hospitality, or just want a behind-the-scenes look at how brands, distributors, and restaurants work together to shape what's in your glass, this episode is for you. It's equal parts education, storytelling, and a reminder that wine is about connection—not pretension.

Success and Significance are not the same.  Can you have one without the other? Yes, but which one?  There have been many men and women over the centuries that have been extremely successful monetarily but their impact on the world was shallow.  Their lives were insignificant because they used up all their influence, power, relationships, and money on themselves.  It only benefited them or those closest to them.  Jesus' life and the words He spoke changed the world.  His glory, majesty, wisdom, and love was divine to say the least but He lived in such a way that all the divine attributes and more impacted the world around Him and in the hundreds and thousands of years later.  He lived a life of significance and in the process was successful.  He literally changed the world and how we view time.  Now that is significant.  Your choice, which one will it be?

Waiting? Luke 12:32-46 8/10/2025 Rev. Alan Brehm PhD Hickman Presbyterian Church

Avian influenza has hit Hickman's Family Farm in Arizona, wiping out 6 million egg-laying hens and forcing hundreds of layoffs. But as Glenn Hickman and veterinarian Dr. Kay Russo reveal, this devastating loss might have been preventable.The current H5N1 virus has evolved in an unprecedented way, jumping from birds to dairy cattle and even back to poultry operations. This complex transmission pattern has created a perfect storm for egg producers, with 28 million of last year's 39 million layer hen losses directly linked to spillover from dairy infections. The result? Americans paid a staggering $11 billion in higher egg prices while taxpayers spent an additional billion on cleanup efforts.At the heart of this crisis lies a contentious debate between science and trade policy. Egg producers advocate strongly for vaccination, pointing to France's successful program that reduced outbreaks by 90%. Meanwhile, the broiler chicken industry, which exports $4-6 billion annually, resists vaccination due to potential trade repercussions. This standoff continues despite available vaccines that wouldn't affect egg quality or food safety."We need to put the politics aside and come up with solutions that allow us to continue to feed people economically," urges Hickman, whose operation faces a 20-month recovery timeline. With empty egg shelves affecting families and food banks nationwide, the question becomes increasingly urgent: should protecting trade agreements take precedence over ensuring a stable domestic food supply?As fall migration approaches—traditionally a high-risk period for avian influenza—producers anxiously await guidance from USDA on vaccination protocols. The clock is ticking on a crisis that threatens not just individual farms, but America's food security itself.This episode is brought to you by United Animal Health.

Thor returns for the 4th time to Counting Countries in addition to 7 other episodes for patrons.  During this conversation, we speak about his newly published book, The Impossible Journey ().  Despite knowing his journey well, this book shares more stories and additional context to his quest.  We also overview what he has been doing over the last 2 years since his return from his nearly 10 year journey.     I would like to thank everyone for their support of Counting Countries, especially my Patrons.  You know them, you love them!  Bisa “fully nomadic” Myles, Ted Nims, Adam “one-away” Hickman, Steph “Phuket” Rowe, Simen Flotvik Mathisen, Ed Hotchkiss, Barry Hoffner, Katelyn Jarvis, Philippe “BC” Izedian, Gin Liutkeviciute, Sunir Joshi, Carole Southam, Sonia Zimmermann, Justine, Per Flisberg, Jorge Serpa, Sam Williams, Scott Day, Dana Mahoutchian, Mihai Dascalu and Ryan Knott for supporting this podcast.  You can support this podcast by going to .  My patrons will hear the entire conversation with Thor.      And, we also have partnered with Ahmed at Aknaf Tours in Iraq who offers monthly fixed date trips from Baghdad to the marshes.  Of course it is a bit too hot.  But start planning those trips starting in September and beyond.  .  And ask me for the discount code.      Remember to keep up to date with the Extraordinary Travel Festival by joining our Instagram and Facebook groups and signing up for the .  I do have some news to share at this time … a save the date, ETF will be October 22-25, 2026.  Destination to be announced soon.  So if interested in the ETF, block those dates off.     And speaking of the ETF, one of the sponsors of the ETF in Bangkok was Visit Mogadishu, a well known provider for travelers going to Somalia.  I am sorry to share that Omar and Visit Mogadishu are unfortunately untrustworthy.  Omar, the founder, when he came to Bangkok informed me he could not pay the full amount of his sponsorship.  I accommodated Omar for many months, and unfortunately after 8 months, Visit Mogadishu never settled their bill, continually making excuses on why they were unable to fulfill their commitments.  This is a poor reflection on their organization and would make me second guess traveling with them to a volatile region.  Just my two cents on why you might want to avoid them for any future trips to the region.      I was in Bangkok and Thor was in Copenhagen for this recording. Please listen in and enjoy.    Thank you to my - you rock!! … Bisa Myles, Ted Nims, Adam Hickman, Steph Rowe, Simen Flotvik Mathisen, Ed Hotchkiss, Barry Hoffner, Katelyn Jarvis, Philippe Izedian, Gin Liutkeviciute, Sunir Joshi, Carole Southam, Sonia Zimmermann, Justine, Per Flisberg, Jorge Serpa, Sam Williams, Scott Day, Dana Mahoutchian, Mihai Dascalu, and Ryan Knott.        And now you can listen to !
