The Wake Up Call share their thoughts about homework:

Cam and Chris Ponder rejoin Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast for round two of the truth triangulation series, picking up where last week's 16 steps left off. Cam offers a genuinely great mental exercise for the audience: imagine zooming into history the way you'd zoom into a map app, down to the exact building, the exact timestamp, even Thomas Jefferson's pen moving across the Declaration of Independence. Kwast adds the crucial caveat that makes it more than sci-fi speculation, an information system immune to AI manipulation, where truth strengthens the more it's cross referenced. Expect a detour into how ancient Sumerian cities aligned themselves with the cosmos, a story about Chinese municipal titling that'll make you raise an eyebrow, and a closing reflection on why none of this technology matters without moral character underneath it. Homework included, as always.

#159 The Eight of Swords This card is about fear or trepidation. The figure on the card is seemingly trapped but the swords aren't cutting into the person. They can move away if they want to. Hilary sees this card similar to a knotted necklace, where it takes a different angle to get it fixed. To think your way out of any situation. The person knows that certainty is there versus the uncertainty that creates the fear and trepidation. Jaymi offers another layer of meaning as she learned that this card also shows a magical initiation where the initiate has to trust themselves to know where to find the out.   Homework: What responsibility can you take in a situation you feel stuck or uncertain?

How fast over the speed limit is too fast? A new AAA study says 3 in 10 drivers agree that "no one actually drives the speed limit" — and most consider 10 mph over totally acceptable. We want to hear from YOU: what's your comfortable number over the limit? Plus, OpenAI just launched ChatGPT for Teens and its smartest feature might be that it refuses to do your kid's homework. Instead, it walks them through the problem without giving them the answer — is this the AI tutor parents have been waiting for?

Sanjana airs a pet peeve—the "didn't feel realistic" critique—and she and Tyler make the case that exaggeration is one of romance's best tools. Then Adrie Rose, a former sex worker and editor of the book of essays I Hate My Job, joins to talk about how the genre handles sex workers (not well) despite being kind of obsessed with writing them. And: Sanj completes her Tyler-assigned homework and comes back thrilled by The Pairing by Casey McQuiston, and especially by the line "the Kierkegaard of cock." Adrie Rose edited and contributed to I Hate My Job and cohosts the Pages and Prejudice podcast. Her recs: the TV show Harlots, Kathryn Moon's Monster Smash Agency series, and Charlie Amen's Hawk & March. Sanjana's homework: The Pairing by Casey McQuiston. From Sanj: For more on “realism” vs. “truth” vs. “performance” vs. “artifice,” here’s an interesting bit of writing from Vicky of the Chicky Substack from a more film-crit angle.

Pricing is probably the question I get asked more than anything else — right behind shipping tips. So to close out this three-day series and kick off season two, we're talking about how to actually price your art. I'm walking through the pricing mistakes I see most often — giving work away "for exposure," panic-discounting during a slow month, pricing off materials alone, copying someone else's price sheet, underpricing commissions just to land the client — and what those mistakes really cost you over time: a hole that's brutal to climb out of, galleries and shows that pass you over, and the burnout that pushes so many talented artists to quit. Then we get into the fix: the three pricing models I actually use (square inch, hourly, and market comparison), how to price commissions so you stop resenting them, and the mindset shift that matters more than any formula — your dream client respects the number, raising your prices can grow demand instead of killing it, and a sustainable business beats a busy one every time. If you've ever wondered whether you're charging enough or you're ready to raise your prices without scaring off clients, start here. Homework this week: audit your own pricing and see where you land. Loved this one? A quick rating and review helps this show reach more artists who need it — and subscribing means you never miss an episode.

For more than three decades, Jamie Butler — known as The Everyday Medium — has helped people trust the part of themselves they were taught to ignore. A natural-born clairvoyant, Jamie has authored multiple books, taught internationally, assisted law enforcement on unsolved cases, hosted her own YouTube show, and co-founded the Love and Light Institute. In this episode, she joins Harmony and Russell to make mediumship, channeling, and energy work feel accessible, grounded, and — true to her philosophy — "not woo woo, it's true true." Jamie walks us through her earliest memories of seeing what others couldn't, the family history of intuitive gifts she didn't learn about until college, and the two years she spent learning how to turn her abilities on and off. She breaks down the three levels of trance channeling, explains the difference between feelings and emotions, and leaves us with simple homework for reconnecting to our own intuition — whether we're "heady" or "feeling" people.

That’s it, that’s all, with thoughts on the format, the new contestants and all the shenanigans that have already gone down in the first two episodes… Homework for next week (31:15): which is mostly just last week’s homework, but adding the Hulu show Furious to the slate…

Public speaking isn't really that public.

Struggling pilates studio owner goes viral asking for help -- Mike Arce coaches her live on numbers, retention, ads, and pricing. Jess Landar runs a struggling pilates studio in Auckland, New Zealand. She posted on Instagram that she needed help, so Mike reached out and turned it into a live gym business audit. This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Her studio peaked at $15,000 NZD a month and had dropped to $10,000 when they sat down. Mike walks through her gym churn rate, her lifetime value, her ad data, and her pricing structure, and shows her the exact math that would triple her book of business without adding a single new member. This episode is for any struggling pilates studio owner, or any boutique fitness studio owner who feels like they are doing everything right and still losing ground. Mike coaches her live the same way he coaches the studios inside GSD Gyms, using real numbers instead of guesses. Part 2 covers her retention plan and her sales process. In this episode you'll learn: — Why her ad costs looked expensive but were actually some of the best Mike has seen — The churn math that shows what her book of business is really worth — How dropping churn from 11.3% to 4% could triple her lifetime value without a single new member — The three ways to grow revenue, and why only one made sense for her right now — The three ways to get more members, and the three ways to improve retention — Why community, not results, is now the number one reason people join and stay in a boutique studio — The four levels of certainty every prospect needs before they buy — Why her 12% close rate is actually better than it looks once you see the real math — The CRM and automation setup Mike recommends for following up with every lead — Why simplifying her four pricing tiers down to three could change her close rate — The homework Mike gave her to complete before Part 2 If you have ever felt like you are doing everything right and still losing ground, this live audit shows you exactly where to look first.

Episode Description "Sometimes the hardest goodbye isn't to a person. It's to the life you built." In this episode of Grieve That Sh!t, Sharon Brubaker, grief specialist and founder of The Grief School, sits down with senior transition specialist Felicia Tausig for an eye-opening conversation about one of the most overlooked forms of grief: leaving the home you've built a lifetime of memories in. When we think about grief, we often think about death. But grief also shows up when life changes. When it's time to downsize. When a diagnosis changes the future. When a spouse is no longer there. When the family home no longer fits the next season of life. Together, Sharon and Felicia explore the emotional side of downsizing, why seniors often struggle to let go of possessions, and how every room, photograph, and keepsake tells a story worth honoring. They also discuss how adult children can better support their parents through these transitions, why patience matters, and how memories don't live inside our belongings. They live inside us. This episode is a powerful reminder that letting go of a house doesn't mean letting go of a life. Because home isn't just a place. It's the love, memories, and relationships you carry with you. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why downsizing can be a profound grieving experience The emotional attachment seniors have to their homes and belongings How adult children can support parents through major life transitions Why every keepsake tells a story Practical ways to honor memories without keeping every possession How grief shows up during retirement, aging, and changing seasons of life Why patience and compassion matter during transitions How creating new routines helps ease the emotional adjustment Questions to Sit With After Listening What memories am I holding onto through my possessions? How can I honor my past while embracing my next chapter? Am I giving myself or my loved one permission to grieve this transition? What does "home" truly mean to me? Homework for You Choose one meaningful item in your home. Take a photo of it. Write down the story behind it and why it matters to you. Then ask yourself: "Is it the object I'm holding onto... or the memory?" Because memories don't disappear when things do. They continue to live in the stories we tell and the people we share them with. Resources + Next Steps

Active fund managers have a new explanation for years of underperformance: index funds have made their old job harder. Don and Tom examine that award-winning excuse, revisit how indexing reshaped the business, and return to the stubborn arithmetic—when active management charges more, matching the market still means losing to it after fees.Listener questions widen the lens.

Chapter 1: The Trap of Practicing in a Vacuum (00:00 – 04:28) Anne introduces Tom Dheere and lays out the core mystery: why do highly talented voice actors stop booking? Tom references Jeff Colvin's landmark book Talent is Overrated, breaking down how elite performers across industries (like Tiger Woods or Mozart) rely entirely on the quantity and quality of deliberate practice. He warns that a massive trap for rising talent is practicing in a vacuum. Without a performance coach or objective professional director to provide constructive feedback, talent listen back to their files with subjective, untrained ears and end up cementing bad structural habits. Chapter 2: Reps vs. Experimentation (04:29 – 07:34) Anne highlights why she assigns rigorous homework to her students—not to cause stress, but to build operational muscle memory. She notes that the real learning happens in the quiet moments between sessions when a student forces themselves to analyze, record, edit, and upload a new script daily. Tom introduces a vital distinction between practice and experimentation. Practice is the mechanical repetition of reps. Experimentation means putting on a psychological "lab coat" to explore diverse emotional subtexts—such as shifting a line from frustration to envy or adoration—ensuring an actor doesn't get stuck in an undirectable rut. Chapter 3: The Intention of the Copywriter (07:35 – 10:21) Anne shares an anecdote from a recent group class where a copywriter validated her baseline training philosophy: every single word on a script was written with explicit intention and purpose. If an actor rushes into their home studio and records an audition without investigating why those specific words exist on the page, the resulting delivery sounds flat, stereotypical, and contrived. Chapter 4: The 500-File Slush Pile (10:22 – 12:47) Tom provides a sobering glimpse into the brutal logistics of a major casting call. When a director receives 500 auditions for a single corporate or commercial spot: The first 100 files are instantly deleted because they failed to follow basic filename formatting rules. The next 100 files are discarded because the talent slipped into a sterile, melodic announcer cadence (da-da-da-da-da-da) within the first five seconds. The final selection comes down to the actors who make strong, distinct, and logical choices right out of the gate, honoring the semantic hierarchy of the text. Chapter 5: Overworking the File vs. Seeking the Truth (12:48 – 15:35) Anne and Tom warn against letting the pendulum swing too far in the opposite direction. New voice actors frequently overwork an audition, recording multiple takes and over-analyzing their delivery until the final file sounds heavily manufactured and performative. Tom shares a brilliant rule from legendary audiobook narrator Johnny Heller: your primary job in every single genre of voiceover is to seek the text's truth. Whether you are reading a cinematic historical narrative or shouting about used cars for an auto lot, you must deliver a believable, raw human point of view. Chapter 6: The Demographic Filter & Fresh Batteries (15:36 – 22:14) The hosts tackle the reality of the demographic filter. A voice actor can turn in a technically flawless, award-worthy performance but still lose the job simply because their voice print doesn't line up with the specific targeted audience (e.g., Medicare recipients vs. baseball fans). Tom notes that modern buyers have fresh batteries in their "BS detectors" and demand peer-to-peer authenticity. Anne shares that her highest-booking auditions are consistently the ones she treated as an honest interaction, rather than trying to match an artificial melody she imagined hearing on the air. Chapter 7: The Meta-Data of the 3 Portals (22:15 – End) Tom delivers a masterclass in tracking business metrics, revealing that he completed exactly 1,492 auditions in 2024 and 1,659 auditions in 2025. By auditing his spreadsheets, Tom discovered a powerful pattern: 75% of his total voiceover revenue is generated by repeat business, while 25% comes from direct auditions. He shares how analyzing his booked auditions across his Three Portals (Representation, Online Casting, and Self-Marketing) allowed him to track shifting industry trends, noticing his bookings naturally migrated from bright, casual tones in 2024 toward heavy, chesty gravitas in 2025. Top 10 Boss Takeaways Talent is just the baseline: Possessing a natural storytelling gene means nothing if you fail to develop your technical skills. Focus heavily on mastering Colvin's principle of deliberate, high-quality practice. Stop listening with subjective ears: Practicing in isolation reinforces bad booth habits. Invest in an objective performance coach or a verified industry peer who will give you hard, honest structural feedback. Master the complete production sequence: Homework isn't just about vocal tracking. Use your practice hours to master script analysis, audio file editing, and data uploading so your operational pipeline becomes seamless. Put on the psychological lab coat: Avoid getting married to a single vocal delivery. Force yourself to run script experiments using contrasting emotional anchors—like shifting from clinical authority to friendly advice—to keep your performance fluid and directable. Honor the copywriter's intent: Copywriters spend hours fine-tuning text to hit specific marketing targets. Honor their labor by uncovering the specific purpose behind every noun, adjective, and punctuation mark before you hit record. Eliminate the mechanical announcer cadence: Buyers will tune you out within the first three seconds if you slip into a predictive, rhythmic vocal melody. Make a distinct, grounded acting choice right out of the gate. Adhere strictly to filename data specs: If a casting notice requests a specific label format (e.g., LastName_FirstName_Brand.mp3), follow it to the letter. Casting directors handle hundreds of files and will delete non-compliant data instantly without listening. Ditch the 15-take audition spiral: Over-analyzing your audio files destroys human naturalness. Cap yourself at three distinct takes, select the most honest file, delete the structural waste, and submit. Balance your Three Portals synergetically: Do not pass judgment on specific marketing avenues. Representation, Online Casting (Pay-to-Plays), and Self-Marketing exist in a synergistic loop—improving your output on one portal naturally sharpens your conversion rate on the others. Track your business meta-data to spot trends: Log every single audition, portal source, genre, and booking. Stepping back quarterly to track structural patterns will show you exactly which vocal signatures are driving revenue in the current marketplace.

July 23, 2026: I look at Google's Atlas study, which analyzed nearly 15 million Gemini interactions and found that AI use at work is broad but still shallow. Then I get into new research showing students who used AI for homework performed better at first, but saw major drops in exam scores later. Finally, I unpack Anthropic chief economist Peter McCrory's argument for why AI has not raised unemployment yet: it is still amplifying human expertise more than replacing it.

Tune into the highlights from Part 2 of Magic Maker Live with Emily Fletcher.

LeBron James didn't just become the most famous athlete on Earth — he became one of its most careful, and occasionally most explosive, political voices. In the most contentious episode of our LeBron series, Dan, Amin and Izzy trace the moments that turned a basketball player into a lightning rod: The Trayvon Martin hoodie photo — and Dan's own take on it at the time, warts and all. The killing of Tamir Rice, and the "I Can't Breathe" shirt that, in the moment, didn't include his name. The ESPYs speech. The White House years, plural. The Bubble. And the legacy that's still being argued over, for better or worse. With firsthand memories from Jemele Hill and Cari Champion, plus a LeBron teammate history conveniently forgot.
