In this episode, we sit down with educator Adina Medina to explore what it truly means to build a strong foundation in education—for students, teachers, and school communities. Quotables **All quotes are from the interviewee** "Teachers who hang on the idea that we're always learning and we can always do better are the teachers that develop into leaders.""Being reflective in every moment has been really helpful.""It's important to help foster the teachers." About Adina Medina Adina Medina was born and raised in the Bronx, NY, when she became a lifelong learner. The teachers and administrators at St. John Chrysostom loved on her and pushed her to excel academically even when her outside life became unstable. After living in New Jersey for a few years and graduating from High School in Queens, NY, Adina attended SUNY New Paltz, where she majored in English with a minor in Black Studies. After graduating with her BA, she started her career as a Magazine Editor in the Dental Field and shifted focus to education when her first child, Melanie, was born. Adina served as a High School English teacher at a small Christian school in her first year and STUNK IT UP. With no mentor in place, it was really the hardest year ever, and she was ready (and told!) to give up. Instead of giving up, she landed in a small all-girl's Catholic High School in Hoboken, NJ, and it was there that her administrators suggested she attend Seton Hall's EPICS (Educational Partners in Catholic Schools) program. Adina earned her Master's in Education, with a focus on Curriculum Development while raising her toddler, and that program launched her passion and drive for fostering rigorous, engaging academics first within her classroom and then schoolwide. Adina served as a High School English teacher in Elizabeth NJ for ten years and, after having observed that her students who struggled least with the rigors of AP level content were those who came into high school with a strong foundation, she decided to shift her focus to Middle School ELA. Adina joined the Hoboken Dual Language Charter School (HoLa) in 2013 and served as a founding 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade English teacher for five years. The school was only in its third year of operation and Adina was able to play a major role in developing the Dual Language Curriculum that is currently used today. In 2017, Adina attended Relay's National Principal Academy Fellowship and began her training as an Educational Coach. After serving as a coach for two years, Adina shifted into the Instructional Lead position and then into a full Principalship while earning her certification at Rutgers University. She is currently the Middle School Principal at HoLa, where she is beyond privileged to guide her students in becoming bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural individuals with a firm academic foundation who are going to make this world a better, more inclusive place one step at a time.

In this classic episode of Right at the Fork, we head back to November of 2025 and our conversation with Amanda Cannon Windquist and Judson Windquist of Sunday Sauce.  ORIGINAL POST: In a fun interview, we welcome Amanda Cannon Windquist and husband Judson to the podcast, just after they opened their newest venture in Portland, Sunday Sauce.  We talk about their journey and inspiration for Sunday Sauce, as well as their other restaurant, Normandie. Amanda and her husband, Judson, met while working in bars in Hoboken, NJ before moving to Portland in the early 2000s, where they now live with their two children. Amanda previously served as the wine director at Q (formerly Veritable Quandary). Her primary venture is Normandie, which she co-founded and opened in 2018. She co-owns the restaurant with Judson and Executive Chef Heather Kintler. Normandie has earned a spot on Portland Monthly's Top 50 Restaurants list and is celebrated for its wine list, which is exclusively focused on women-made wines. The Winquists have since opened a second restaurant together, Sunday Sauce. This new venture was originally conceived as a pop-up event held at Normandie in November 2024 before becoming a permanent establishment. Sunday Sauce marks the second restaurant collaboration between Amanda and Judson.   www.sundaysaucepdx.com @sundaysaucepdx Right at the Fork is made possible by:  DU/ER: www.shopduer.com/fork Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com  RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com 

In this episode, Charles interviews filmmaker and vinyl enthusiast Steve Herold, best known for the award-winning short film Death of an Umbrella Salesman. Steve takes us back to the summer of 1984 and his first concert — the Thompson Twins on their Into the Gap tour at the Garden State Arts Center in New Jersey. He shares how the show almost didn't happen, thanks to a failed attempt to see Van Halen at Madison Square Garden, and how that near-miss planted the seed for a lifetime of concert-going. The real coming-of-age concert moment, Steve admits, came two years later when he finally saw David Lee Roth on his debut solo tour — a far wilder introduction to arena rock than the Thompson Twins had provided. Steve opens up about his most memorable concert experiences, including his best-ever shows: the New Jersey alternative band Dramarama at the legendary Fast Lane in Asbury Park in the early '90s. Those packed, sweat-soaked club nights — where getting to the bathroom was nearly impossible and crowd surfing was mandatory — turned Steve into a devoted fan and shaped his love of small-venue rock. He also recounts the 1996 Sex Pistols reunion at New York's Roseland Ballroom, an evening of full-on debauchery that ended with him and a friend finding a $50 bill on the floor — money that had fallen from the pockets of crowd surfers — and heading out to continue the night on someone else's dime. The image of punk-show attendees pouring out of Roseland and colliding with Broadway theatergoers on the sidewalk is one of the episode's most vivid moments. Beyond concerts, the conversation dives into Steve's YouTube channel, where he has spent years showcasing his vinyl and CD collection and visiting independent record stores during his travels for TV production work. He reflects on how the channel introduced him to a whole new community of fellow collectors — friendships that have taken him to record stores in Reno, Southern California, Long Island, and Charleston, South Carolina. Steve also discusses his filmmaking work, including the upcoming documentary about a former Hot Tuna drummer who is also a visual artist, and two music videos he directed for his friend's garage rock band Manflesh, one of which is set to screen at the Coney Island Film Festival. The episode wraps with a shared appreciation for the Wet Leg concert both Charles and Steve attended in 2025, and a laugh-out-loud detour into the chaotic legacy of G.G. Allin. BANDS: Agent Orange, David Lee Roth, Dramarama, Eagles, G.G. Allin & the Murder Junkies, Goldfinger, Hot Tuna, Jeff the Brotherhood, L7, Lady Gaga, Manflesh, Ram Jam, Sex Pistols, The Strokes, Thompson Twins, Van Halen, Wet Leg, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. VENUES:  Aragon Ballroom (Chicago), Chicago Stadium, Coney Island Film Festival, Exit (Chicago), Fast Lane (Asbury Park), Garden State Arts Center (New Jersey), Lounge Ax (Chicago), Madison Square Garden (New York), Maxwell's (Hoboken), Monster Music (Charleston), Roseland Ballroom (New York), Stone Pony (Asbury Park).

The Glorious Revolution wasn't about religion. It was a corporate restructuring — and the invoice has never stopped compounding.In 1688, William III crossed the English Channel with 40,000 soldiers. But the men who mattered most weren't carrying weapons. They were carrying ledgers. Within six years, they handed England the Bank of England — and with it, a mechanism for permanent debt that would spread from London to New York, and has never stopped running.This is the hidden history of central banking. The blueprint behind every financial empire since 1694.Lesson 1 — The Glorious Revolution Was a Leveraged BuyoutEngland is broke. William doesn't just want a crown — he needs a war machine. The Dutch bankers who cross with him already know how to build one. And they have terms.Lesson 2 — The Same Money, TwiceWilliam Paterson's 1694 proposal: lend £1.2 million to the Crown — then issue £1.2 million in currency backed by that same loan. Same money. Twice. This is fractional reserve banking before it had a name, and the Crown just signed the contract.Lesson 3 — Why the Bank Needs WarThe Crown borrows. The bank issues bonds. Investors collect interest. The debt rolls forward — never paid back, always refinanced. By the War of Spanish Succession, debt grows from £1.2M to £36M. That's not failure. That's the system doing exactly what it was designed to do.Lesson 4 — The Rothschild Intelligence NetworkFive sons. Five cities. Courier networks faster than governments. Nathan Rothschild receives word of Waterloo before the British Crown — then executes one of the largest single-day trades in European history. But the real move wasn't the bond trade. It was making every government on the continent financially dependent on the network.Lesson 5 — Debt Is EmpireIndia. Egypt. The Ottoman Empire. Same pattern. Debt accumulates. Payments fail. Control follows. Ports, customs, trade routes — all secured through obligation, not conquest. No flags. No occupation. Just the ledger.The Ledger TodayIn November 1910, a private train left Hoboken, New Jersey, with drawn curtains and false names. Nine days later, the Federal Reserve was designed. Same blueprint. Different continent. 1694 to now. The Bank of England has never stopped operating.Amsterdam built it. London weaponized it. New York scaled it.The ledger never closes.

brianturnershow.com, eastvillageradio.comRichard Langston, author of the new Clean biography In The Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul, joins The Brian Turner Show. The two will be chatting extensively about this brilliant band's 1978-2016 life, which was punctuated by periods on inactivity but inevitably continual returns that netted them deep and dedicated international fandom. Founded by brothers Hamish and David Kilgour, initial rotating lineups traversed their New Zealand homeland with budget tours, met with degrees of alienation from the established Auckland punk scene. Their psychedelic pastiche contained deep love of Barrett, The Beatles, Velvets, Hendrix, and Arthur Lee, which showed in their rudimentary DIY ethic; a heady formula out of fashionable step and thus triggering retreat back to their Dunedin hometown. However,  surprise success of their first single hitting the top 20 trigged a great leap forward for not only the Kilgours (now joined by future Bats founder Robert Scott), but a newfound communal scene in The Clean's wake that launched not only the Flying Nun label but a score of kindred spirit groups. They eventually achieved notoriety internationally despite periods of pause, and massively influenced a big slab of American indie rock units as well. Langston chronicles the great heights of this band live and on record with dutiful shoutouts to those in their circles who helped elevate them. We'll be playing a bunch of live Clean tracks as well.THE CLEAN - Point That Thing Somewhere Else (live Fulham Greyhound, 88)THE CLEAN - Quickstep (live Gladstone, 81)THE CLEAN - Art School (live Railway, Auckland, 81)THE CLEAN - Side On (live Christchurch, 82)THE CLEAN - Beatnik (live Christchurch, 82)THE CLEAN - Oddity (live Rumba Bar 82)INTERVIEW WITH HAMISH AND DAVID KILGOUR on the show, Nov 2021THE CLEAN - Dunes (live Gronigen, 89)THE CLEAN - Draw(in)g To a (W)hole (live Barcelona 2010)THE CLEAN - Outside the Cage (live Barcelona 2010)THE CLEAN - I Wait Around (live Regent, Dunedin, 2007)INTERVIEW WITH RICHARD LANGSTON - Author of In The Dreamlife You Need a Rubber SoulTHE CLEAN - In The Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul (live Barcelona, 2010)THE CLEAN - Whatever I Do Is (live Barcelona 2010)THE CLEAN - Fish (live Sammys, Dunedin, 2000)THE CLEAN - Getting Older (live Maxwells, Hoboken, 2010)THE CLEAN - Hold On To the Rail (live Sammys, Dunedin, 2000)THE CLEAN - At the Bottom (live Sammys, Dunedin, 2000)THE CLEAN - I Can't Stand It (live) - Mashed (Arch Hill, 2008)THE CLEAN - Point That Thing Somewhere Else (Sammys, Dunedin, 2000)

In this episode, Dr. John Durante welcomes back Carlos Cano, the Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. Carlos provides an insider's look at how Stevens evaluates applicants, the introduction of a groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence major, and the university's commitment to affordability through the new "Stevens Investment" program. Whether you are a student aiming for a career in STEM or a parent navigating the "passenger seat" of the admissions journey, this conversation offers practical advice on standing out in a competitive field.Key Takeaways:• New Affordability Initiatives: Stevens has introduced "The Stevens Investment," a program starting for the Fall 2026 class that meets 100% of tuition needs for families with an income of less than $75,000.• Cutting-Edge Academics: Stevens is launching one of the nation's few undergraduate majors in Artificial Intelligence for Fall 2026.• The Stevens Philosophy: The institution operates under the motto "Inspired by humanity, empowered by technology," focusing on bridging the gap between technical innovation and real-world impact.• Application Insights:◦ Test-Optional Policy: Stevens will remain test-optional through Fall 2029, as internal data shows little difference in performance between students who submit scores and those who do not.◦ Evaluation Process: Applications are reviewed by two to five readers who look for reasons to admit, focusing heavily on academic rigor (especially Calculus for engineering applicants) and demonstrated interest.◦ Holistic Review: The team values quality over quantity in extracurriculars and encourages students to use the additional information section to provide context for personal circumstances or "intangibles".• Institutional Priorities: Current goals include increasing the female population in STEM and expanding the student body's geographic diversity to represent all 50 states.Expert Advice for Families:• For Students: "Drive the process." Be the one communicating with admissions and making the final decisions. Stay organized and prioritize campus visits to ensure the "vibe" is the right fit.• For Parents: Act as the "biggest cheerleader" from the passenger seat. Support the journey without taking the wheel.• On Essays: Avoid common pitfalls like the "generic sports injury" story unless it reveals a deeper, unique discovery. Use the supplemental essay to specifically connect your goals to Stevens' unique offerings.Memorable Quote:"This process at the end of the day is supposed to be fun for everyone involved... take the opportunities when you need to to take a step back and reenter and refocus so that when the victories come, you're ready to celebrate them in earnest." — Carlos Cano-------------------------------------------------

https://youtu.be/47bH911YFF0 Vance Morris, consultant, coach, and speaker, helps service-based businesses break free from the ordinary and create extraordinary customer experiences that generate loyal customers for life. After spending more than a decade working for the Disney Company and learning its powerful systems and processes for customer service, Vance launched his own businesses and built them around those principles—eventually creating companies that run largely without his daily involvement. We explore Vance's Customer Experience System, a framework for turning ordinary interactions into memorable moments that create lifelong customers. The system focuses on mapping all customer points of contact, ideating experiences for each boring touchpoint, prioritizing the biggest impact moments, and memorializing those experiences in systems or playbooks so they can be delivered consistently by the team. Vance explains how businesses can create “tellable moments,” recover from service mistakes in memorable ways, and build repeatable marketing systems that generate referrals and long-term customer loyalty. — Get Customers 17 Ways with Vance Morris Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Vance Morris, a consultant, coach, and speaker, who helps advisor-based businesses break free from the ordinary and step into the extraordinary. Vance, welcome to the show.  I appreciate it, Steve. Thank you so much. Your background is very interesting and your whole idea of making customer experience unique, and also you have unique ways of acquiring customers. So let’s get into it. But I’d like to start with my favorite question: What is your personal ‘Why’, and how are you manifesting it in your business?  My personal ‘Why’ is very strong, and that is I never want to be an employee ever again. I make a lousy employee. I don’t like to be told what to do. And so knowing that has kept me on this entrepreneurial path for the last 19 years.  Okay, well, I can relate to this. I can relate to this. That’s a big thing when you are in charge of your own time. It’s a big blessing. Some people make a lot of money, but if they don’t own their time, it’s not ideal. I agree 100%. Yes, sir.  Yeah. Love it. Let’s talk a little bit about your journey. I mean, how did you end up being a non-employee and being your own boss and advising companies, what the route led you down this path?  Sure. Well, the long and short of it, I spent a little over a decade working for the Disney Company down in Orlando, Florida. Magnificent experience. Great company to work for. Towards the end, I was starting to get that inkling that maybe I should be doing something on my own. So I went out and worked as an employee and a consultant at the same time for a couple of different restaurant concepts. And then I had a couple of high-profile positions. I was catering director for the Smithsonian Museum System, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, things like that. And along the way, I realized that I do indeed make a lousy employee because I got fired a couple of times. So I own up to it. I’m okay with it. But I said to myself, let’s put something together that will be your own and we’ll be able to afford the lifestyle that you’re looking for. So about 20 years ago, I started a couple of home service businesses. I took all of my Disney knowledge and Disney systems and processes—both on customer experience and customer retentionShare on X and importantly pricing—and put those all into those businesses and started to grow them. And people started asking me, well, geez, Vance, you don’t look like you’re working very hard. How are you doing that? So I back in 2013, I started consulting with other companies, primarily professional services, on how to really deliver extraordinary customer experiences that will lead to what I call raving fans for life, or customers for life.  I love it. No better place to learn than at Disney, right? Yeah, I mean, it was great. And one of the first things I learned there was that Disney operates 100% on systems and processes. I mean, I ain’t sure we learned how to pick up trash and smile at people, but the biggest lesson was Disney has a process for everything. You want to carry a tray in a restaurant, they got a process. You want to change a bus tire, they have a process. So I took that everywhere I went, which has actually led me to be fairly autonomous from my home service businesses because I put systems and processes in place, and I only spend about 90 minutes a week on those businesses.  That’s fantastic. So let’s talk about these processes, particularly the customer experience processes that you have installed. And actually you have a process for installing processes, which is kind of a system to enhance the customer experience and then keep customers for a long time. You talk about keeping them for life. So tell me about that system and how do you delight customers on a schedule?  Sure. So the process is called Systematic Magic, and there’s seven magic keys to this system. And it’s designed to really look at all different parts of the business in order to surprise and delight folks. Some of it is not very sexy. I will admit that ahead of time. Some of it you'll be like, oh my God, I get it. So the first thing that you have to do, though—and this is the unsexy part of it—is you have to map out your customer journey. And you have to do it from the point of view of your customer. So what is the first point of contact a customer has with you? Is it a phone call, a visit to the office, a website? What is that first contact? And then figure out how to create an experience out of that. And then what’s the second contact? Now in between first and second contact, let’s say you’re a financial advisor, and in the first meeting you get all the numbers and all their information. You say, okay, it’s going to be about seven to ten days, I’ll get you a proposal or a plan a week and a half or so. So while the financial advisor is working, they’re actually doing something. What is the customer doing? Absolutely nothing. They’re sitting there waiting. And waiting is painful. While waiting, things start to go through your head. You start to possibly have buyer’s remorse. You’re rethinking this purchase. Is there somebody out there better? Is this guy even paying attention to me? I just met him and I haven’t seen him in a week and a half. So Disney—people wait for a lot of things at Disney. You wait for the rides. You wait for transportation. But they figured out that they need to entertain you while you’re in line to make it not feel so bad. And they call it “linertainment.” So this is something that I’ve brought to other businesses is how do you entertain your customer while they are waiting for you to do something? It could be as simple as a maybe a sequence of a handwritten note that goes out in the mail on the first day. A follow up call from your assistant saying, Hey, Bob’s working on your plan. He hasn’t forgot about you. And then maybe you’ve written a book. And so getting that book in the mail to your client would be another step, really trying to make that wait period not feel so long. And also remind the customer that you’re still thinking about them.  Yeah. Love it. That’s brilliant. So you talk about this process of mapping out the points of contact, and then you talk about the boring touch points. You talk about ideating experience in each boring touch point. So tell me about boring touch points. I understand waiting is definitely boring.  Sure.  It’s such much a touch point. It’s more of a boring time period.  Disney has figured out how to create an experience out of all of the boring and mundane things we have to do to keep our business up and running: answer the phone, greet a guest, show them how to enter a building. So I’ve brought that to the real world. Quick example. So I have a insurance broker. And he’s got Allstate agent, and he has about 17 other Allstate guys in his area, in addition to all of the other regular insurance guys in his area. And he needed a way to stand out because insurance is a highly commoditized business. You don’t really know what’s the difference between one guy and the next. One has a lizard, one has a something else. So I got to his office. I noticed that he was a rock and roll fanatic. I mean, he had autographed guitars on the wall, gold records, posters, and everything. And I said, well, I think you should lean into your personality a little bit and be the rock and roll insurance guy.Share on X And his receptionist was the one that came up with the way to answer the phone. Before, like most companies, they would say, “Thank you for calling Dave's Insurance. How can I help you?” Boring. Everybody says that. So his receptionist suggested, well, we should probably, let’s sound like a radio DJ and really make it an experience out of answering the phone. So now they say: “Thank you for calling Dave's Allstate, the agency that rocks.” That’s a little corny the first few times you say it, but if you think about it, your marketing is designed to do two things: repel the people you don’t want and attract the people you do want. So just by answering the phone this way, they sift, sort, and screen out anybody who would be a bad customer.  Yeah. Love it. That’s a good example. How do you know which are the biggest impact points in this series of touch points, and we have to focus your energy?  Well, what you want to do once you've completed journey mapping is look at points where you may have the most impact on either the experience or on your profitability. Or is there something glaring that’s like, “Oh my God, we have to fix this”? And so you look for those opportunities within your journey map, and so it’s going to be different for everyone. The one place that I see most businesses falling down is after the sale is complete. So after money exchanges hands. So you get the check and that’s it. The customer never hears from you again because you got the money. It’s like going into the department store and you want to buy a shirt, you walk into the store and you’re immediately accosted by a salesperson who will follow you everywhere. Get you all set up, get your shirt, you pay for the shirt, and then that’s it.  Nobody talks to you. Nobody escorts you to the front door, holds the door open for you. Thanks you for coming in. They got the money, and off they go. You have to look at, okay, I got your check, or I got your credit card. Now we’re in a relationship. We need to continue to nurture that. Most businesses will think, well, you know what? I did a good job, or I’ve got a great product. People should remember me. And that is so far from the truth. It's not the customer's job to remember you. It's your job to remind the customer that you exist. You need to have strategies and tactics in place after the sale in order to keep them engaged.Share on X  Can you give some examples? Sure, certainly. And this really will work for any business, either online or offline. B2C, B2B—it doesn't matter. One thing I strongly recommend is a newsletter, preferably in print and sent through the mail. Newsletters designed to do a couple of things. One, it's to entertain them, because you don't always want to be selling to people. If the only time your customer ever hears from you is when you want to sell them something, well—that's not really nice. All you’re doing is just asking for money every time. So you want to be able to provide value, provide some entertainment, be a welcome guest in their home when your newsletter arrives.Share on X Now you can then supplement that with postcard or a series of emails and have calls to action, sales, or promotions there. But not everything should be a sales item. It should be there to reinforce the relationship or the emotional connection that you put together.  Yeah, love it. Some companies used to do this really intensively. I was part of Dan Kennedy's inner circle in the 2000s, and they were sending CDs in the mail, all kinds of different postcards and funny mail, and copy. And they were really intense with it. They had lumpy mail—this kind of stuff—but it kind of went out of fashion. It seems like people don't send stuff in the mail much anymore, or what you get is 90% of it lands in the trash unopened.  I mean, people have gotten lazy, I think. The internet is there—oh, I can just send an email, click, and it's done. There’s a certain art to putting together lumpy mail. I certainly still believe in it. I use it almost every day. And Kennedy was a tremendous mentor to me as well. And I think that something he said it has always stuck with me is look at what all of your competitors are doing and do the opposite. Opposite. Yeah.  So if all of your competitors are marketing online, well, how do we go and market and find our customers offline? And really, I mean, if you look at your mailbox, I mean, I got the mail today. I had a newspaper and a credit card solicitation.  Yeah.  That was it.  Yeah. Incidentally, Kennedy was a big Disney fan. He took tours of members to Disney every year, showed them around, and used it as an example.  He loved it.  Yeah. Let’s switch gears here a little bit and let’s talk about your marketing system because you don’t just have a customer experience system, you have a marketing system as well. And it kind of blew my mind when you told me that you have 17 different systems to acquire a customer. And you actually have 52 ways to connect with a customer as well, or maybe I’m confusing the two. So tell me a little bit about the different ways of acquiring customers?  Sure. So you got the numbers right, just in the wrong section, but that’s fine. What you need is a CRM, or customer relationship management system. You need to be able to automate this. There’s no way that I could even think remotely that I was going to be able to manage all of that. So if you look inside—like I mentioned, I own some home service businesses—we currently have probably about 70 marketing campaigns running. Everything from Google pay-per-click to referral campaigns, to reminder campaigns, reminding people they need to be cleaned and things like that.  And you don’t want to rely on just one thing, because as we all know, one is the worst number in business. If you only have one way of getting clients, and that way goes away, you’re in big trouble. So I don’t like to rely on the internet because that goes down, and Google or Facebook change their algorithms every other week. It's a big guessing game. I would much rather have boots on the ground, so to speak, and go out and get my own customers. So we have a salesperson or a marketing person, and her job is to go around our entire area, creating referral partnerships and then maintaining those referral partnerships. So when people say, “Oh, we get all our business from referrals,” I ask them, I say, well, do you have a system for that, or you just get one or two every now and then? And most people don’t have a system. And a system is what's going to, one, add tremendous value to your company when you're ready to sell it. But two, it's something that is repeatable and replicable. So if you want to step away from your business for a period of time, you have systems in place that your employees just have to run.Share on X In eight years, I spend about 90 minutes a week on my home service companies. I've got three businesses, and I spend 90 minutes a week on all three. An hour of that is just a meeting with the general manager that I put in place. The other 30 minutes, I keep control of the bank accounts—I never let go of that. So those systems have given me freedom to be able to come and go as I please from those businesses. And the businesses run without me. So without a marketing system in place, or a marketing checklist, we hear the story: would you ever get on an airplane where the pilot decided, “You know what? I'm not going to do the pre-flight checklist today. I'm just going to wing it”?  Yeah.  You don’t want to get on that airplane. Well, same thing goes for your marketing. I’m forgetful. I got a lot of stuff going on. Here’s the checklist, here’s the system. Follow it and get it done.  Love it. So yes, I think you’re right, I mixed it up. So 52 ways to acquire customer, 17 systems to acquire customers. What type of systems are we talking about? You mentioned the CRM, obviously that’s a system. What other types of systems do you have?  Sure. So certainly, the customer acquisition systems that we have in place—as I mentioned—we have the salesperson, we have Google pay-per-click, we have direct mail, we have shared mailings. And for customer retention, we also have a ton of different systems. Again, of them is, every month we take the top five customers we have and we send them a cake. I mean, when was the last time you had an electrician, a carpet cleaner, or somebody come to your house, do some work, and then send you a cake in the mail? It's probably not happening. We do a lot of things like that because we want to be tellable. We want people, at the end of any interaction with us, to say, “Oh my God, you'll never guess what happened when and [insert profession here]. So, “Oh my God, you never guess what happened when the carpet cleaner was here—they mailed me a cake after the cleaning.” So you want to get people thinking, “Oh my God, what can I do to really get people talking about me?” How can we—not so much viral—but genuine postings of things? I mean, we do handwritten thank-you notes for everybody. That’s one of the systems. It's got to the point where I had to subcontract the handwritten thank-you notes because I don’t have time to write a hundred of them every week. So I went out and “rented” some grandmas. I went over to a local senior center, and there was this group of three ladies just sitting there having coffee. I asked them, “How often do you get together?” “Oh, we get together at least three times a week. We have coffee and we talk.” I said, “Do you ever get bored?” She said, “Yeah, sometimes.” I said, “Great. I'll be more than happy to buy you coffee and donuts and whatever. Would you mind writing some thank-you notes for us?” And now I've got three grandmas who write all of the thank-you notes for one of my businesses.  Fantastic. So these are some the systems. What are the 52 ways? I think you also have some kind of a freebie for listeners.  Yeah.  Could share it for us?  So the 52 Ways to Wow Your Customers. It's one “wow” for every week of the year, and most of them are low or no cost.Share on X One could be just, “Hey, when was the last time you picked up the phone and actually called and talked to a few of your customers?” I mean, nobody uses the telephone anymore. They send a text or something impersonal like that. Pick up the phone and talk to them. Are you contemplating a new product? Go to your existing customers and say, “Hey, you know what? I'm getting ready to launch this product. I'd love for you to test it. Would you do that for me?” 99.9% of people want to help you. So yes, they're going to say, “Yeah, I'd love to test your new product or service.” It's things like that that build up the 52 Ways. You don't need all of them—certainly pick one, two, or ten—so that you stay in front of your clients and really stand out. One of the things I talk a lot about is service recovery—like when you screw up something. One way to wow your customer is, what do you do if you're late? So if we are going to an appointment and we’re running behind, our technicians know that they are to stop at a grocery store or a florist and buy some flowers for the house that we’re going to. I mean, you can't yell at a guy. The client answers the door, and there's a 20-something-year-old standing with a bouquet of flowers. You really can't yell at him. And then again, that’s tellable. We know we made a mistake or we were delayed. We want to make it up to you. Here’s some flowers. And then we may do some other kind of discount or something. But yeah, it's about looking for what would make you happy.  Love it. Yeah. I had a client who was a construction company, and what they did was for every client that they had, that was one of their jobs is to figure out what they would really love having the new home. For example, one of the things that they did was one of the customers had the house in Hoboken, and they kinda loved the New York skyline to see from the yard, and then they moved down to Richmond. This came up in conversation—they mentioned this was something they would miss. And then what they did was they basically did a wall-to-wall poster. They took a picture of the exact skyline position, and they put a wall-to-wall poster on one of the rooms.  Oh, that’s brilliant. Oh, that’s fantastic.  Yeah.  I mean, construction and trades can easily do this. I've got a kitchen and bath remodeler as a client. Remodeling can be a disaster in somebody's house, so he knows that maybe on a day when there's not going to be a stove in the kitchen, he actually brings a gift card for a local restaurant so the family can go out to eat. Or if it's lunchtime and there are people in the house and they can't use the kitchen, he'll order DoorDash for his clients. Now, of course, all this is built into the pricing. But it’s the matter that you’re thinking about doing these things is what really counts.  Yeah. Wonderful. Wonderful. Alright, so if someone would like to learn more and connect with you—maybe they have a home service business, a retail business, or any other type of business—they could use your suggestions. I think any kind of business, even business-to-business, would work because, at the end of the day, it's mostly people, if not AI, that you're connecting with. So where should they go? How can they connect with you, and how can you help them?  Yeah, certainly. So I only do one social media, and that's LinkedIn. You can find me there. I'm the only Vance Morris Disney guy floating around out there. You mentioned the 52 Ways to Wow Your Customers.

So, Vance, any parting words or wisdom for our listeners before we wrap up?  Well, you probably heard a couple of ideas on this podcast—at least I hope so. Maybe you read something today, maybe you heard something else. You're not going to move the needle in your business unless you actually do something. You're not going to profit unless you implement.Share on X You've got to take an idea, try it, and put it into play before you can move the needle in any direction. So my big message is find one thing and go and implement it.  Love it. This is so true. I mean, it's the definition of insanity—doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, right?  Right.  Well, listeners, if you enjoyed this discussion, stay tuned because every week we have a wonderful entrepreneur or thought leader coming and sharing the best ideas with you. And Vance, thank you for sharing your gold nuggets. And do reach out to Vance Morris on LinkedIn, or get his freebies on wow52ways.com, right? Yes.  That’s the website. I’m going to do that.

The city of Hoboken, New Jersey, has had no traffic deaths for nine years straight. This streak is no fluke. It’s the result of  focused efforts by the city’s planners and concerted leadership from elected representatives. Portland and other cities in Oregon are making some progress in their efforts to reduce these same kinds of deaths, which transportation planners like Lake McTighe say are largely preventable. McTighe is the principle transportation planner for Portland’s regional government Metro. She also manages its Safe Streets for All program, which aims to reduce deaths and serious injuries from traffic crashes. We sit down with McTighe to hear about the best practices that Hoboken and some other cities in the U.S. and other countries have used to eliminate traffic deaths — and get an update on the region’s progress toward that goal.

In 1903, two hunters tracking moose through the frozen Yukon wilderness stumbled upon a massive furrow in the mud — thirty feet long, flanked by clawed footprints the size of a man — and followed the trail straight to something that shouldn't exist. What a French traveler, a gold prospector, and a Jesuit priest would witness clambering out of a remote Arctic ravine defies every assumption about what still roams the Canadian wild.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Is it possible that dinosaurs lived recently? Like, in the 1900s? Even more bizarre… could they have been living in the 20th century in, of all places, the Arctic Circle? (The Monster of Partridge Creek) *** On May 3, 1881, Mena Muller and Louis Kettler took the ferry from New York City to Hoboken, New Jersey. They were going to be married in Hoboken, although they each had a spouse already. The legality of the marriage did not concern them; they were returning to Germany and would start a new life there. But somehow their plans went awry; that night Louis Kettler returned to New York alone and ten days later Mena Muller's body was found in New Jersey with a fractured skull. (The Guttenberg Murder) *** Timothy Trespas lives in his home in Brooklyn. And I do mean in his home – as he rarely leaves the house, because he feels he is being stalked everywhere he goes by gangs of individuals. And he's not the only one. (Gang Stalking Paranoia) *** They say walking is good for you… but that depends on where you walk, when you walk, and who you bump into, as one person found out late one night just trying to alleviate the boredom. (The Smiling Man) *** We've all slept in longer than we planned. What's the longest you ever slept in? Three hours? Thirteen hours? Did you ever sleep three days straight? I think I see maybe two hands raised out there. You two are amateurs. One man slept 300 days out of the year. (Never Enough Sleep) *** A man had several unexplained incidents while hiking in a German forest. Shaken by the events, he eventually encounters a man with bright green eyes.

Valentine's Day looked very different this year. While most people were out celebrating, LaLa was working an event for her Cannoli Cart business and Shawna was completely exhausted from life, health, and everything in between.  From there, the girls headed to the What She Said event in Hoboken, NJ, where they spent the entire day interviewing inspiring founders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and community leaders, both women and men, whose perspective added a powerful dynamic to the conversation.In this episode, they recap the energy of the room, the power of community, and what it really takes to show up fully while navigating health challenges and disabilities. Sometimes exhaustion is proof you're building something bigger than yourself.Shawna shares her now-infamous St. Pierre waffle moment... Yes, the entire pack! Plus her new Bougie Bottle that reminds her of her grandmother and why small comforts can mean everything for mental health and resilience.  Then they sit down with Cindy Mutti, founder of Just Because Love Does, to talk about adaptive hospital clothing and medical-friendly pajamas designed with built-in access for heart monitors, IV ports, drains, and medical lines. Her mission is restoring dignity, comfort, and normalcy to patients navigating chronic illness, medical trauma, and hospital recovery.This episode explores women's empowerment, entrepreneurship, disability advocacy, adaptive fashion, hospital recovery, resilience, and what real support actually looks like beyond the spotlight.

Deciding where to stay in New York City can feel overwhelming given the number of options. In this article, we're gonna break down the simplest questions to answer before you decide which part of the city to stay in.Because the most important factor when choosing where to stay in NYC isn't just price.Here's what we'll cover:Before you look at locations, answer thisThe #1 factor for a good stay, no matter the neighborhoodA note about Airbnb and short-term, non-hotel rentalsOur 3 recommendations for the best places stay in New York CityTips for finding the best hotel rates (and comparing reviews)Note: See the full article with specific hotel recommendations here: https://rebrand.ly/where-stay-nycWhat Do You Care More About, Saving Money or Proximity to the NYC Experience?When you're trying to figure out where to stay when visiting NYC, you must ask yourself a this-or-that question. Odds are you can't have both, so you'll have to decide.The Question: What do you care more about, saving money or proximity to the NYC experience?You often, or almost never, can have both. New York City is expensive, and when you prioritize affordability, you will often trade that for distance from common NYC experiences. The same goes for the inverse.Is Saving Money the Most Important to You?You will spend very little time in your hotel during your visit to New York City. This is probably the strongest argument for prioritizing a cheaper hotel, even if it means a longer commute.So, if the cheapest lodging is your highest priority, look at places like:Hoboken, New JerseyLong Island City in QueensCertain pockets of boroughs, like Queens or BrooklynEven with that being said, I would never, ever, ever stay in the far reaches of Jersey, or distant parts in Queens or Brooklyn as a traveler. Nothing against those areas, it's just not where you're going to likely want to spend your time while visiting!New York City is a destination, and there is something to be said about staying in your destination, not near it.Is Proximity to the NYC Experience the Most Important to You?You will walk a LOT in New York City, part of why comfortable walking shoes are the #1 priority on our NYC packing list, and you will likely finish each day exhausted. Do you want to be dealing with a lengthy, challenging commute at the end of a long, tiring day?Being close to the action is not only fun, but it's practical. This is especially true for a short, weekend trip to NYC.So, if being close to the NYC experiences is your highest priority, look at places like:Upper MidtownChelseaFinancial DistrictWant even more NYC insights? Sign up for our 100% free newsletter to access:Dozens of Google Maps lists arranged by cuisine and location50+ page NYC Navigation Guide covering getting to & from airports, taking the subway & moreWeekly insights on top spots, upcoming events, and must-know NYC tipsGet started here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://rebrand.ly/nyc-navigation-guide

“I remember when I performed at Carnegie Hall for the first time. It was transformative. I remember taking the stage and just being in complete awe. I looked out, and it was just incredible. When I heard the sound, it was even more incredible. I used to say that my favorite part of my job was standing right at the stage door and watching every choir singer come and take the stage for the first time. They would look out and just be in complete awe. Now that I'm production manager, my new favorite part of my job is when conductors come off the stage and I get to tell them, ‘turn around, go back, they're still clapping for you.'” - Eric Spiegel“Living abroad gave me a whole new perspective and appreciation for my home country. It taught me a lot about other cultures and how to work with different people and have a certain cultural sensitivity and sensibility. I could not recommend it enough. We're trying to grow and enhance the kinds of international opportunities that we provide. It's such a collaborative, educational experience that goes way beyond one or two concerts. We know for many people who travel with us, it might be their first time in Europe. We try to make sure that it's special in every possible way that we can.” - James RedcayA native of Allentown, Pennsylvania, James Redcay joined MidAmerica Productions in April of 2015. A graduate of New York University, Redcay spent years in New York City as an accomplished pianist, composer and teacher, performing and composing for numerous concerts and institutions.

Happy New Year everyone. Great to be back. Let's begin with an awful date who has lived in Hoboken for 15 years yet doesn't know her way home. Then the awful birthday celebration that was blamed on me. Then the awful way I stepped over everyone running away from someone who fainted but I thought was dead (total George Costanza) and finally - another magical jiffy lube story.

What happens when you blend raw talent, Puerto Rican pride, and years of lived experience into one unstoppable character? You get Tio—the wildly popular, side-splitting, mustache-wearing alter ego brought to life by the multi-hyphenate creative force, Geovany Sepulveda. But there's a deeper story behind the laughs—and in this episode of I'm An Artist, Not A Salesman, we sit down with Geovany to explore every layer.From humble beginnings in the projects of Hoboken, New Jersey, to formative years spent in Puerto Rico, Geovany's journey is packed with cultural duality, artistic evolution, and a deep understanding of how to transform trauma into storytelling. Known for his wildly viral sketch character Tio, Geovany opens up about the real people, places, and pain that helped shape his creative voice.This isn't just a conversation about going viral or building an audience—this is a powerful look into what it takes to stay grounded while navigating the pressures of content creation, identity, and legacy.In this raw and honest interview, we cover:The origin story of Tio: a hilarious but deeply personal tribute to uncles, neighborhoods, and chaotic family dinnersHow growing up in a Puerto Rican household shaped his comedic instincts and artistic driveThe balance between staying true to your culture while reaching a broader audienceWhat it's like to be called “Barney for adults”—and why that's a complimentThe early days of going viral by filming against a brick wall with no budgetWhy comparison culture kills creativityHow Geovany deals with haters, internet trolls, and jealousy from unexpected placesWhat he's learned from building a loyal community through original characters and consistencyAs Geovany reveals, comedy wasn't his first love—music was. Under the name Arson, he built a strong following through beat-making, EDM, and melodic songwriting. He even studied audio engineering and collaborated with Grammy-winning producers. But when fans and friends kept telling him he needed to show people “the funny,” Geovany took the leap—and Tio was born.Still, the artistic tug-of-war remains. Geovany sees himself as a split persona: Arsnn makes the music, Tio brings the comedy, and together they fuel a much bigger creative mission. Whether it's producing EDM tracks, designing a stand-up set from scratch, or improvising sketch ideas on the spot with only a camera and a prop couch—Geovany is doing it all with purpose, heart, and hustle.What makes this episode stand out?Geovany doesn't hold back. He shares stories about:Getting kicked out of the house at 18 after his mom found bricks of drugs hidden in the closetWatching his Tio videos help strangers through dark moments, failed job interviews, and griefUsing humor as both armor and offering, especially in the face of personal loss and mental health strugglesHis dream of creating an animated comedy series that showcases Latino culture with Family Guy-level humorHow he sold out his first ever stand-up show using only his own network and sheer beliefThis episode isn't about chasing virality—it's about creating art with intention, and how Geovany is using his platform to bring light, love, and laughter into the world. Whether he's talking about old-school Puerto Rican parenting, beefing with family over past mistakes, or surviving the algorithm game, Geovany keeps it real, grounded, and hilarious.If you've ever felt torn between your talents, unsure of your next move, or overlooked by mainstream platforms—this conversation is your permission to go all in.Connect with the host, Luis Guzman, and the IANS podcast:Follow us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen for weekly interviews that spotlight the real stories behind the creatives, entrepreneurs, and visionaries you should know.Want to be on the show or suggest a guest? Reach out via our website or send us a DM on Instagram at @ImAnArtistPod.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter performer and recording artist Paul Litteral, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Paul Litteral trumpet interview"   Find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here: https://bobreeves.com/blog/paul-litteral-trumpet-interview-the-other-side-of-the-bell-147   About Paul Litteral: Hollywood Paul Litteral began to build his career playing in Broadway hits such as The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, A Chorus Line and Chess. In 1978, Paul and saxophonist Arno Hecht founded the well-known group called the Uptown Horns. As their visibility increased, the band was recruited for rock and roll gigs and played many of New York's most famous clubs. Paul and the Uptown Horns went on their first rock and roll tour with the J. Geils Band in 1981 and that led to many other opportunities including engagements with The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, Tom Waits, Joe Cocker, James Brown, Pat Benatar, and Ray Charles. The band lists recording credits on over 150 albums including James Brown's Grammy Award winning "Living in America" and tracks for Joe Cocker, Albert Collins, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Palmer, Lou Reed and REM. In addition to continuing to play music, he began writing and found critical success with Hoboken to Hollywood, which earned him the 2011 Ovation Award for Musical Direction. Paul was also awarded Best Musical Direction by Stage Scene LA for Louis & Keely: Live' at the Sahara, which had a record run, playing to sold out audiences at the Geffen Playhouse. "Hollywood" Paul earned his nickname back in the 1980's due to his prodigious knowledge of film lore. Though his extensive contributions to the LA music scene have also helped add to that fabulous moniker. Paul's fame is within the world of Rock and Roll. On his latest album, "The Litteral Truth," he brings us a collection of songs that inspired his personal musical development. The Brecker Brothers, Edgar Winter and Steely Dan are a few of the artists we cover on the record, and revisiting these great cuts and reinterpreting them was a joyous excursion for all involved. Paul is a fun and talented man, and his records are spreading the joy of knowing him. -Bill Bodine   Episode Links: Outrageous 8 Records Find the albums here: The Litteral Truth Legacy Instagram (@paullitteralmusic) YouTube channel The Other Side of the Bell Episode #92 - Paul Litteral (first appearance)   Bob Reeves Brass Upcoming Events and Appearances: Trumpet Festival of the Southeast, Jan. 17, 2026, Kennesaw State University, Georgia Texas Music Educators Association Conference, Feb. 11-14 2026, San Antonio, Texas Dylan Music, Feb. 26-28, Woodbridge, New Jersey   Podcast Credits: "A Room with a View" - composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host - John Snell Cover Photo Credit - Paul Litteral Audio Engineer - Ted Cragg

El 12 de diciembre de 1915, en Hoboken, pequeña ciudad del estado de Nueva Jersey, nació el que probablemente haya sido el mayor 'crooner' de la historia: Frank Sinatra. Escuchamos su voz en 'My way' -la adaptación al inglés que hizo Paul Anka de 'Comme d´habitude' de Claude François- y 'What my love' -letra en inglés para 'Et maintenant' de Bécaud-, en su disco conceptual de hace 70 años con arreglos de Nelson Riddle 'In the wee small hours' ('In the wee small hours of the morning', 'I get along without you very well', 'What is this thing called love', 'Can´t we be friends', 'I´ll be around', 'Ill wind'), y en las grabaciones de 1967 con Jobim de 'Dindi', 'Quiet nights (Corcovado)', 'Meditação (Meditation)', 'How insensitive (Insensatez)', 'Bonita', 'Wave', 'Quiet nights'/'Change partners'/'I concentrate on you'/'The girl from Ipanema') y en 'Come fly with me'.

On Friday, the European Commission fined Elon Musk's X €120 million for breaching the Digital Services Act, delivering the first-ever non-compliance decision under the European Union's flagship tech regulation. By Saturday, Elon Musk was calling for no less than the abolition of the EU. To discuss the enforcement action, the politics surrounding it, and a variety of other issues related to digital regulation in Europe, Justin Hendrix spoke to Joris van Hoboken, a professor at the Institute for Information Law (IViR) at the University of Amsterdam, and part of the core team of the Digital Services Act (DSA) Observatory.

AI is becoming ubiquitous in our lives. It shapes how we work, play, interact, create, and even manage our health—and this is only the beginning. To understand where we are and where we might go, we first need to understand how we got here. By tracing the evolving nature of machine intelligence, we can appreciate how today's AI differs from its past and how it is likely to evolve. With that in mind, we can begin to ask the big questions: When should we trust AI over human judgment? How should we govern its development? How will it change what it means to be human? And what roles will humans play in the future of work?To help us through this journey, I'm delighted to welcome back to TRIUM Connects Professor Vasant Dhar, the Robert A. Miller Professor at NYU's Stern School of Business and Professor of Data Science at NYU. Vasant is one of the world's leading thinkers on the impact of AI on society. He was present at the birth of AI and has been involved in every step of its evolution—both as an entrepreneur and as a scholar. He also hosts the acclaimed podcast Brave New World, which explores how machines are transforming humanity in the post-COVID era.In this episode, we discuss his newest book, Thinking With Machines: The Brave New World of AI. It's a remarkable hybrid: part autobiography, tracing how his professional life has intertwined with the development of AI; part user's guide, offering a lucid framework for deciding when to trust machines over human control; and part deep dive into the philosophical and policy implications of creating an alien intelligence.It was a real pleasure to welcome Vasant back onto the show. I learned a lot during our conversation, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.CitationsDawid A, LeCun Y.

Today's topic is one that not many people are talking about, but it's a big problem in our country. We are discussing the deficit in our children's education about civics, government, and basic politics. As parents and educators, we have a huge responsibility to do better, and today's guest is taking on the challenge. Join us to learn more!Lindsey Cormack is a professor of political science at Stevens Institute of Technology, a little-known but premier engineering school in Hoboken, NJ. Seeing extremely bright students every day who don't understand the basics of our government prompted her to write How to Raise a Citizen (And Why It's Up to You to Do It). The guidebook is geared toward parents to help them produce good citizens who are active and knowledgeable participants in our government and politics. Show Highlights:Lindsey's extensive research and writing processIdentifying the deficit and what can be done about itOur educational plan in civics and government is NOT working.The “We don't talk about politics” attitude is not helping our children.Two ends of the spectrum about politics in the USIt's not fair (or true) to say that all politics are bad.Kids need to see specific behaviors modeled, like collaboration through difference, information-seeking techniques, normalizing disagreement, and how to consider another perspective.The beauty of American democracy is based on collaboration and compromise, and our kids need to learn this.“Raise an athlete—not a fan.”Parents should be the agents of change.An overview of Lindsey's bookKey takeaways from LindseyResources:Connect with Lindsey Cormack: Website and How to Raise a Citizen (And Why It's Up to You to Do It)Contact us on social media or through our website for more information on the IEP Learning Center: www.inclusiveeducationproject.org.Thank you for listening!Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to the show to receive every new episode delivered straight to your podcast player every Tuesday.
