Podcasts about Hightower

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this episode, we dive deep into the creative process of the incredibly talented Kerstin Schulze, whose work in film and television continues to push boundaries. Best known for her powerful performance as Sola and her standout role in The Righteous Gemstones, Kerstin is more than an actress—she's a true character architect.One of the most compelling examples of Kerstin's craft is her development of a deeply layered character named Hightower—a killer clown with a haunting backstory. From the start, Kerstin knew she didn't want this to be a one-dimensional villain. Instead, she focused on building a voice and presence for Hightower that would resonate on a human level. Inspired by classic characters like The Godfather, she gave Hightower a distinct vocal quality that immediately stood out.But the real magic came in the emotional layers Kerstin brought to the role. She saw beyond the clown makeup and chaos, tapping into the loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled need for love that shaped Hightower's psyche. She made her a compulsive cleaner—obsessed with order as a way of coping with inner chaos—and through that lens, the audience could see the person beneath the persona.Kerstin's creative process is immersive. On set, she leaned heavily into improvisation, often asking herself, “What would Hightower do here?” One particularly memorable moment involved her climbing into a birdcage to express the character's sense of isolation and entrapment—unscripted, raw, and deeply revealing.Her method for learning lines reflects the same dedication. Kerstin records her dialogue and practices it on the move, internalizing it in a way that allows her to stay present and reactive in the moment. For her, it's not about memorization—it's about embodying the role completely, understanding the motivations behind every line, every look, every silence.In this episode, we get a rare glimpse into the mind of a performer who doesn't just play characters—she becomes them. Join us as Kerstin Schulze shares her process, insights, and the emotional truth that fuels her performances.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more behind-the-scenes conversations with today's most compelling creative voices.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:04 - Creating the Character Hightower00:00:36 - Hightower's Development On Set00:01:22 - Hightower's Motivation and Characteristics00:04:18 - Creating the Character War Manga00:05:52 - Learning Lines and Understanding the Story00:08:46 - Importance of Action and Understanding the Process00:09:40 - ConclusionFor more insights into her work and programs, you can visit her website at ⁠⁠partyanddiet.com⁠⁠ or follow her on Instagram at ⁠⁠@partyanddiet⁠⁠.

In a candid episode of The New Stack Makers, Kubernetes pioneer Kelsey Hightower and AWS's Eswar Bala explored the evolving relationship between enterprise cloud providers and open source software at KubeCon+CloudNativeCon London. Hightower highlighted open source's origins as a grassroots movement challenging big vendors, and shared how it gave people—especially those without traditional tech credentials—a way into the industry. Recalling his own journey, Hightower emphasized that open source empowered individuals through contribution over credentials.Bala traced the early development of Kubernetes and his own transition from building container orchestration systems to launching AWS's Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), driven by growing customer demand. The discussion, recorded at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, touched on how open source is now central to enterprise cloud strategies, with AWS not only contributing but creating projects like Karpenter, Cedar, and Kro.Both speakers agreed that open source's collaborative model—where companies build in public and customers drive innovation—has reshaped the cloud ecosystem, turning former tensions into partnerships built on community-driven progress.Learn more from The New Stack about the relationship between enterprise cloud providers and open source software:The Metamorphosis of Open Source: An Industry in TransitionThe Complex Relationship Between Cloud Providers and Open SourceHow Open Source Has Turned the Tables on Enterprise SoftwareJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Doug Marrone discussion. He has connections with Bill O'Brien. We are getting real coaches who have real NFL experience. Does hiring an expensive coaching staff equal spending less money on players? Last year's staff got totally blown up. Hightower's expulsion is surprising to Jones, but it makes sense. How much shotgun do we want to see?

Should we have felt the earthquakes? Caller gives Jones the business for him saying the Patriots had a favorable whistle. Why can't the Bills beat the Chiefs in the playoffs? Josh Allen should have taken another read on the last Bills play of the game, but Kincaid should have caught that. Jones calls Romo garbage. He was wrong right before the play. Why didn't James Cook get more carries? Why has Jerod Mayo not given any interviews? Is he going to sue the Krafts? No. Doug Marone discussion. He has connections with Bill O'Brien. We are getting real coaches who have real NFL experience. Does hiring an expensive coaching staff equal spending less money on players? Last year's staff got totally blown up. Hightower's expulsion is surprising to Jones, but it makes sense. How much shotgun do we want to see? Bruins discussion. Keefe says that his scoop was against Pastrnak, not Marchand. We thought that it was too early to make big trades, but the Avalanche made one with the Hurricanes! We still are trying to figure out what we have here with the Bruins. Discussing the new Celtics potential owner. He is the Eagles owner as well as a big Boston guy.

When we shared our New Year’s post including Woody Guthrie’s own famous resolutions/”rulin’s,” I was reminded of the visit that Hightower and I made to the fantastic Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, OK this past spring.

Live from an ESG-scented 100% cotton unisex onesie, it's an all-new Terrific Tuesday edition of Business Pants. Joined by Analyst-Hole Matt Moscardi! On today's anti-anti-DEI lovefest called December 17th 2024: Random ESG Headlines That I Care About Because Somebody Has To Care About Something and Changing the Methodology for Fortune 100 Most Powerful Executives!Our show today is being sponsored by Free Float Analytics, the only platform measuring board power, connections, and performance for FREE.DAMION1Random ESG Headlines That I Care About Because Somebody Has To Care About Something:Walmart is the 2024 Yahoo Finance Company of the YearThe legacy retailer, once seen as slow to adopt technology as Amazon (AMZN) rose to the forefront, has quietly invested in everything from artificial intelligence and augmented reality to same-day delivery and cheap groceries. The combo punch has led to nearly four quarters of record earnings — and a title as Yahoo Finance's annual Company of the Year award winner.A committee of Yahoo Finance editorial leaders selected Walmart because of its strong year of sales and profits, financial outperformance relative to key rivals like Target (TGT), and a stock price that has reached fresh records in 2024.Another unknown is the impact of Walmart's Nov. 26 decision to scale back its DEI work amid right-wing pressure. The decision came a few days after our interviews with McMillon and Rainey, at which time Walmart had already secured its Yahoo Finance Company of the Year recognition.In a Dec. 2 phone call with Yahoo Finance, Walmart's chief people officer, Donna Morris, defended the company's choice:"We are the exact same company today as we were last week, and we will continue to be the same company," Morris said. "We act with integrity, we serve our customers and our members, and we strive for excellence. So our values are absolutely not changing.""Our values are absolutely not changing, the specific initiatives or terms, they change over time," she continued. The company started moving to "belonging" in early 2023, though Morris said the move wasn't due to pressure from any specific group."When you talk about diversity, equity, inclusion, all in part, there can be communities, and often the largest communities, that step back and say, 'Geez, I'm not sure if I'm even actually included'," Morris explained of the decision.After Floyd's murder, a "majority" of companies felt the need to boost their DEI efforts, but now they are reevaluating. "What we observed and felt was really important is that everyone was part of that work, and that's why we really made the shift," Morris said.‘A huge regression': Walmart's DEI rollback incites new racial equity pushA year after the murder of George Floyd, Doug McMillon, CEO of Walmart had a warning for corporate America. The death of Floyd triggered a wave of protest over systemic racism and was “not an isolated event. We have a long history of racism, and we see unacceptable events continue.”Walmart and other large US corporations made pledges to address inequities within their business, ones many feared would be dropped once the focus on Floyd's killing and its aftermath faded. “We can't let that be the case,” he wrote, outlining how the company was releasing its “diversity metrics twice a year” and calling on companies to “continue to address systemic racism and the structural inequities that are rooted in this nation's history of slavery and that persist today”.Times have changed. Last month Walmart became the latest corporation to cave to a rightwing campaign against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, announcing it would stop using the term DEI altogether, drop DEI trainings, no longer consider race and gender as a means to improve diversity when making offers to suppliers and would not renew a racial equity center committed to addressing “the root causes of gaps in outcomes experienced by Black and African American people”.The union-backed Walmart workers group United for Respect has tried to introduce a shareholder proposal at Walmart's past two annual shareholder meetings for a third-party independent racial equity audit of the corporation.The racial equity shareholder proposal has come up short of the 20% support it would need for Walmart to discuss it, receiving 18% in 2023 and just over 15% in 2024. Hightower said she planned on reintroducing it at the 2025 annual shareholder meeting in Arkansas.Why Tarang Amin, CEO of E.l.f. Beauty, is Modern CEO of the YearModern CEO set out to recognize an executive who embodies the traits and values we've been covering in this newsletter for the last two years: inclusion, accessibility, humility, and innovationEarlier this year, E.l.f. proclaimed its commitment to diversity when it launched “Change the Board Game,” a campaign to encourage corporate board diversity. “I'm proud to say that our board has 78% women and 44% diverse representation,” Amin tells Modern CEO. “We've seen the power in our own business of having that type of representation, but we don't want to be the only company.” As part of its board diversity effort, the company sponsored 20 diverse candidates for a National Association of Corporate Director's program for boardroom readiness and grabbed headlines with its “So Many Dicks” research that found there are more men named Richard, Rich, Rick, or Dick on U.S. public company boards than entire groups of underrepresented candidates. “There's nothing wrong with being a Richard or a Dick,” Amin says with a smile. “I just want to make room for everyone else.”Honorable MentionsBijal Shah, CEO, GuildShantanu Narayen, CEO, AdobeTammy Sun, founder and CEO, Carrot FertilityUnion coalition calls for Kroger CEO's removal amid buyback controversyKroger has shifted strategy with $7.5bn stock buyback after Albertsons merger setback.A faction of the US trades union United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) has called for the ousting of Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen in the wake of a controversial $7.5bn stock buyback announcement. The move follows an unsuccessful attempt to consolidate its position in the grocery market by merging with Albertsons. The Stop the Merger coalition, spearheaded by several UFCW local unions, contends that the substantial buyback initiative is ill-timed, arguing that the company should prioritise investments in workforce enhancement, store maintenance and renovations. The potential $25bn merger between Kroger and Albertsons was halted in early December 2024 when a federal judge issued an injunction against the deal, citing concerns over reduced competition in the grocery market. Starbucks CEO doubles parental leave amid turnaround effortStarting this spring, the company will double its paid parental leave benefits. For some workers, it's as much as three times the original amount. For instance, paid leave for birth mothers is increasing from six to 18 weeks. All other non-birth parents – whether welcoming a child through birth, surrogacy, adoption or long-term foster care – will receive up to 12 weeks of paid leave at 100% of their average pay, according to Starbucks. For employees to be eligible for benefits, they need to work an average of 20 hours per week, according to the company's current policies.Former OpenAI employee who died by suicide was named in a court case that could decide the future of the internetSuchir Balaji, a former OpenAI researcher, died by suicide late last month.After he left the company, Balaji raised questions about OpenAI possibly violating copyright law.His name appears in a New York Times lawsuit against OpenAI that could have far-reaching implications.Eight days before the former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji was found dead in a San Francisco apartment, the 26-year-old's name appeared in a lawsuit against his former employer that could have significant implications for the future of AI and the internet.The lawsuit — filed by The New York Times last December — accused OpenAI and Microsoft of using "millions" of articles published by the newspaper without permission to train the AI startup's popular ChatGPT model. The companies have denied that they violated copyright law.On November 18, the Times' attorneys asked a judge to add Balaji as a "custodian" in the lawsuit, according to court documents viewed by Business Insider. The attorneys' letter described Balaji as someone with "unique and relevant documents" that could support their copyright infringement case against OpenAI and Microsoft.NEO Murder stuff:In Armed America, CEOs Get Protection. Schoolkids Get 'Thoughts and Prayers'While top executives of multibillion-dollar companies beefed up security and canceled in-person meetings in the wake of the assassination of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson earlier this month in New York City, students and teachers were offered little more than the typical outpouring of "thoughts and prayers" after the latest school shooting this week.Peter Thiel Reveals How Scared Oligarchs Are Of The PeoplePlutocrats like Thiel are constantly thinking about the fact that ordinary people vastly outnumber them and can kill them at any time. They think about it way more often than ordinary people do.Billionaire Peter Thiel had a fascinating televised moment the other day when asked by Piers Morgan what he thought about the public making a hero of the man suspected of murdering health insurance CEO Brian Thompson. The way he stumbled and stuttered when trying to answer the question gives a lot of insight into how terrified such people are of the public turning against them one day.“And to those who think this shooter is a hero, because he did it because he said this healthcare executive is presiding over a healthcare system which kills thousands of Americans by denying them cover, what would you say to them?” Morgan asked.Thiel paused for a long time, and then stuttered for a long time, and then eventually got out the words, “It's, I don't know what, what to say? I, I think I still think you have, you should try to make an argument. And I, I think this is, this is you should, you know, there may be things wrong with our health care system, but you have, you have to make an argument, and you have to try to find a way to convince people and and change, change it by by that, and this is, you know, this is not going to work.”Socialist fashion brand to launch 'most-wanted CEOs' playing cards in wake of Brian Thompson murderThe Four Suits of Exploitation:Hearts: Real Estate, Retail, and Healthcare – Exploiting care and connection to put profits over people.Diamonds: Finance, Tech, and Media – Hoarding wealth and controlling the narrative to maintain power.Spades: Weapons, Oil, and Pharmaceuticals – Profiting from destruction, war, and illness.Clubs: Chemicals, Agriculture, and Logistics – Grinding the planet and its people into submission.“Play the game, know the players.”Gail Boudreaux: Anthem Insurance (3 of Hearts)Technically CEO (23%) at Elevance Health; changed name from Anthem in 2022Richard Sackler: Purdue Pharma (Jack of Clubs)Company no longer exists; was previously President and Co-ChairHoward Schultz: Starbuck (Jack of Hearts)Is this a nod to Robbie Starbuck?Chair Emeritus, founder and former CEOElon Musk: Twitter (2 of Diamonds)Now called X; not the CEOKathy Warden: Northrop Grumman (Queens of Spades)CEO/Chair (21%)Jeff Bezos: Amazon (King of Diamonds)founder/former CEO/Exec Chair (67%)The Waltons: Walmart (Ace of Hearts)The Sacklers: Purdue Pharma (Ace of Clubs)defunctThe Kochs: Koch Inc.

Really? What if the individual has contributed to the health of the business? We're going to use individual EBITDA and TSR batting averages, and we're doing to do it over the last 5 years, not just this year.Innovation = Influence = influence!Unlike for Fortune, this is EASY for us - we actually measure it - we can use a couple variations, including total influence (added across multiple companies), max influence (at any one company), and median influenceTrajectory = aggregate tenure across all companiesIt's stupid to focus on where someone is in their “career arc” - do you penalize someone young? Do you give more weight to Buffett just because he's 300 years old? Is there a singular “career height” that Fortune decides someone has hit (or hasn't)? Let's go with something measurable - aggregate tenure across all company boardsImpact = controversiesThis was originally written as “do they make the world a better place”, so we're going to go with “do they make the world NOT a worse place?”

Consolidation in asset management is one of the industry's most important trends. When any industry enters a mature phase, consolidation brings the benefits of economies of scale, product depth, and broader services to meet client demands. We've seen a rising tide of merger activity in recent years, effecting both asset managers and allocators alike. My guests on today's show are leaders of two organizations that announced mergers in October – Simon Krinsky, a Managing Partner at Hall Capital and Tim McCusker, CIO at NEPC. Hall announced a merger with Pathstone, adding its $45 billion in assets to Pathstone's $100 billion. NEPC announced a sale of a majority stake in its firm to Hightower Holdings, adding NEPC's $1.8 trillion of assets under advisement to Hightower's $130 billion of assets under management. Both Hall and NEPC have been longstanding independent organizations that are selling to a partner backed by private equity owners. Simon and Tim walk through their rationale for the transactions, deal process from idea to signing, and opportunities and challenges going forward. The organizations share similarities in their long independent history, broad equity ownership, and investment capability, while also having significant differences in their new partners, incentive structure, and plan to service clients. Together, Simon and Tim offer an inside look at dealmaking in asset management.   Take Capital Allocators Audience Engagement Survey Learn More Follow Ted on Twitter at @tseides or LinkedIn Subscribe to the mailing list Access Transcript with Premium Membership

It's first Monday freebie time, and we are delighted to debut our Tulsa community with a story from Kenzie Hightower!   Kenzie's typical life took a detour due to her brother's sudden and life-threatening heart condition. During his three-month hospitalization, she quickly assumed the role of support person and found the new job to be heartwarming, hard, and, well, busy. Kenzie initially buckled under the weight of coordinating all the things and keeping it all together.   Still, when she was riding life's highs and lows, the Lord was actively proving Himself to be the one to handle it all. Kenzie grew to rest easy in His sustaining power as she sought to support her people.   In this episode, you will learn:   – Even the best support person needs the support of Christ when trials come.   – Looking on the bright side with a brave face can be exhausting. The Lord alone will sustain you.   – You can't do it all, but He can.   Links: Listen to a similar story~ Renee - Ep. 92:  "Love Matters- The Story of an Alzheimer's Caregiver" Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Kenzie.
