Divorce lawyer Jim Sexton has spent nearly 30 years watching marriages fall apart - and he knows the mistakes couples make long before they ever enter a courtroom.In Part 2 of my conversation with Jim Sexton, one of the country's most experienced divorce attorneys, we go deep on marriage, divorce, prenups, monogamy, sexual compatibility, dating, choosing the right partner, divorce statistics, and what actually makes relationships last.Jim has represented executives, entrepreneurs, CEOs, athletes, celebrities, and high-net-worth families through some of the most difficult divorces imaginable. After decades on the front lines of family law - and after going through divorce himself - he has developed some fascinating and sometimes controversial views about love, marriage, sex, money, and relationships.We talk about why getting married may be one of the most legally significant decisions you'll ever make, despite most people having almost no idea what they are legally agreeing to.Jim explains why the best divorce lawyer may actually be the lawyer who keeps you out of court, why spending $10,000 fighting over $5,000 makes no sense, and why divorce should eventually be approached more like a business transaction than an emotional battle.We discuss whether prenups are unromantic, whether they actually hold up in court, and why Jim argues that a thoughtfully constructed prenup can actually create greater emotional and financial safety in a marriage.Then we get into some of the most controversial research and observations surrounding sexual history, sexual satisfaction, monogamy, marriage success, and divorce.It's a conversation about how to choose the right person, build a stronger relationship, understand what marriage actually means, and avoid mistakes that can cost you emotionally and financially for years.TIMESTAMPS00:00 — The legal reality of marriage almost nobody understands05:45 — Why a great divorce lawyer may actually keep you OUT of court12:53 — How to find a great divorce attorney without trusting Google rankings18:44 — The “Sopranos strategy” before divorce—and why Jim says it can backfire24:27 — Why Jim Sexton says every first date is basically a sales call29:59 — The fear that stops people from making the move they actually want34:20 — The 3 real reasons people get married41:30 — Who probably should NOT get married46:07 — “Everyone has a prenup” — Jim explains what most couples don't realize51:41 — How long should you date before getting married?59:38 — Do more sexual partners increase the likelihood of divorce?1:07:42 — Jim's controversial definition of successful monogamy1:20:11 — Why divorce rates rise dramatically after the first marriage1:31:12 — Do prenups actually work?

Episode Description:Nancy Cartwright is best known as the voice of Bart Simpson. But in this archive conversation, James is interested in the artist behind the voice.Nancy joins the show to talk about In Search of Fellini, the film she co-wrote with Peter Kjenaas based on her own trip to Italy in the 1980s. At the time, Nancy was already working as an actress and voiceover performer, but she became obsessed with Federico Fellini's La Strada. She studied scenes from the film in acting class, felt deeply connected to Giulietta Masina's performance, and eventually decided she wanted to get the rights to adapt La Strada for the stage.So she wrote Fellini letters. When she finally got a response telling her not to come because Fellini would be working, Nancy heard something else: he would be there.She went anyway.That decision becomes the central metaphor of the episode. Nancy describes the trip not as a business errand, but as an immersion into life, art, culture, language, risk, chance encounters, and personal transformation. The film's line—sometimes you have to travel far, far away to find what is closest to you—comes from one of those real encounters.James and Nancy also talk about her earlier career. Nancy explains how she found her way from speech competitions in Ohio to radio work, to studying with Daws Butler, to acting classes with Milton Katselas. She shares stories about auditioning for Cheers, getting a part after walking straight out of the casting room, and learning that if you surprise yourself, you can surprise everyone else.That lesson also applies to The Simpsons. Nancy originally went in to audition for Lisa, but when she saw Bart's description—“a 10-year-old school-hating underachiever and proud of it”—she knew instantly that was the part. She trusted the instinct.The conversation becomes a meditation on creativity. Mentorship matters. Preparation matters. But at some point, the artist has to do the work, throw it away, walk into the room, and trust what happens.Nancy's story is about voice acting, Fellini, and Bart Simpson. But it is also about making the leap from talent to authorship, from performing other people's words to finding the story only you can tell.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to In Search of Fellini as a new or limited-release film, The Simpsons at that point in its run, Nancy's projects, and release timing reflect the original recording period.What You'll Learn:Why Nancy Cartwright calls herself one of the most recognizable voices attached to an unrecognizable face.How Bart Simpson's voice fits into Nancy's own personality and childhood mischief.Why La Strada affected Nancy so deeply as a young actress.How Nancy's trip to Italy became the foundation for In Search of Fellini.Why “sometimes you have to travel far, far away to find what is closest to you” became the emotional center of the film.How Nancy learned voice acting from Daws Butler.What Milton Katselas taught her about surprising herself.Why walking out of a Cheers audition helped her get the role.How to create an effect without making it feel calculated.Why auditions are not just competitions, but opportunities to fulfill a decision.How Nancy knew Bart was the right role even though she had been called in for Lisa.Why artists need preparation, mentorship, instinct, immersion, and commitment.How The Simpsons has lasted through writing, love, improv, and a giant universe of relatable characters.Why Nancy believes artists have a responsibility to connect with people on a deeper wavelength.How making In Search of Fellini took more than 20 years of persistence, revision, and collaboration.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] The Most Unknown Famous Person in the WorldJames introduces Nancy Cartwright and asks what it is like to be instantly recognizable by voice but not by

Disney's live-action remakes continue to spark debate, but I think the bigger conversation isn't whether they're good or bad—it's what they reveal about the strengths of animation as a storytelling medium.I compare a scene from the live-action Moana trailer with the original animated film to explore why certain moments work so much better in animation. We dive into the differences between animation and live action, why translating scenes frame-for-frame often falls flat, and why successful adaptations focus on capturing the spirit of the original rather than copying it beat by beat. Whether you're a filmmaker, animator, writer, Disney fan, or simply interested in visual storytelling, this breakdown explores what each medium does best and why animation deserves to be valued as an art form—not viewed as a stepping stone to live action.

If you've ever felt stuck solving the same problem over and over, you may be fixing the symptom instead of the root cause. In this episode, I break down the Three Whys technique—a simple problem-solving framework used in business, leadership, product design, and personal development—to uncover what's really holding you back. We also explore how Brazilian entrepreneur Ricardo Semler transformed Semco by questioning long-held assumptions, why focusing on principles instead of rules leads to better decisions, and how you can use the Three Whys (or my variation, the Three Hows) to make better choices in your career, relationships, creative work, and everyday life.
Is it wrong to judge others? Jesus said, “Judge not that you be not judged” (Mt. 7:1). Did the Savior mean we should never offer an opinion challenging the doctrine or lifestyle choices of someone else? Or is the correct interpretation much different?

```htmlIf you're a video editor, filmmaker, YouTuber, or content creator looking to improve your edits, this episode covers some of the most valuable editing lessons I've learned over more than 20 years working on documentaries, sitcoms, feature films, sizzle reels, and online content. Rather than focusing on keyboard shortcuts or software tutorials, these are storytelling principles that help every cut become more intentional. I discuss why you shouldn't edit for continuity, how reaction shots create comedy, why physical humor needs wider framing, how to use alternate audio takes to strengthen performances, why story always comes before B-roll, and the editing mindset that consistently produces stronger films and videos.

What does it actually take to bring an independent animated feature to life? In this behind-the-scenes update on The Arbiters, I share the production sprint leading up to the American Film Market (AFM), where our goal is to complete a full animatic before pitching investors, distributors, and international partners. We dive into the realities of scaling a creative team, managing hundreds of storyboard shots, building detailed floor plans for complex action sequences, recording temporary voice performances, and why an animatic is one of the most valuable tools for proving a movie works before it's ever animated. If you're an independent filmmaker, animator, producer, or creative entrepreneur, this episode offers an honest look at the filmmaking process from development through production.
Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features the article “Plant Growth Regulators and Biostimulants For Fine Turf — What's the Difference?” written by Richard E. Schmidt, Professor Emeritus, Virginia Tech. Read from the July / August 2026 issue of Virginia Turfgrass Journal. Introduction, written by Mike Goatley, Jr., Professor and Extension Turfgrass Specialist, Virginia Tech Virginia Tech Professor Emeritus Richard E. Schmidt passed on December 31, 2025 at the age of 94. Upon the passing of his wife, June, in 2022, Dick's son, Stephen, asked me to please “keep Dad active and engaged by involving him in a project”. Well, the project I asked Dick to work on for me was to summarize what he considered to be some of the most significant findings of his research of biostimulants as compared to more traditional plant growth regulators. Dick literally continued to review articles and write from that point until he was prepared to pass, calling me on December 30 to let me know that he did not have much more time and it was up to me to complete this article. There was little that was needed for me to “complete” this article, but it was my pleasure to provide the final review and edits to Dick's last scientific publication for the turfgrass industry. I decided I can't give you everything Dick was exploring… he went into areas of literature review on gene regulation and expression in plant hormone production, the chemistry and production of phytosiderophores, and a host of other topics that I simply am not qualified to discuss. My effort focused on refining Dick's article in a way that I felt would most benefit you, the turfgrass manager. Dick is referred to by many as “the Godfather of turfgrass biostimulants,” but his recognition for his efforts in better understanding these compounds did not come without professional challenges. He was often confronted by scientific peers that he should not be wasting his time doing “snake oil research”. But Dick remained resolute that these compounds had the potential to play important roles in managed turfgrass, especially turfgrass that was likely to encounter environmental stress. Dick, along with research scientists like VT's Dr. Xunzhong Zhang (and a number of graduate students such as myself studying under him at Tech) slowly but surely progressed in the understanding of why and how these compounds might work (or not) rather than just practicing the approach of “spray and pray”. VT Turfgrass alum and Purdue University Turfgrass Professor Dr. Cale Bigelow made a comment about Dick's legacy that I thought was very astute: “I dare say that almost every high-profile golf course or sports field anywhere in the country likely has some formulation(s) of a biostimulant in their chemical room that the manager is applying as a standard tool in their management program.” I hope you will take a few minutes to read Dick's final article on this subject matter as a way to pay tribute to his lifetime of research efforts, and to learn a little more about how to use these compounds to improve your turfgrass management program. Plant Growth Regulators and Biostimulants For Fine Turf — What's the Difference? Are you confused concerning the use of plant growth regulators (PGR's) or biostimulants? First a couple of basic definitions of these compounds to set the stage for this discussion. For the purpose of this paper, I will define a PGR as any compound that alters plant growth or development and a biostimulant as an organic substance derived from plants and animals that, when applied in small quantities, may enhance plant growth and metabolism to enhance turfgrass tolerance to environmental stress. There is definitely some overlap in these definitions, so it's understandable if you are confused by the distinctions between these two classes of chemistry. Conflicting information concerning the efficacy of newly introduced materials occurs frequently. Dr. Bill Kreuser (2015) points out the advantages of using plant growth regulators for fine turf. Subsequently, VT alum Dr. Jordan Booth (2023) advocates managing bentgrass putting greens in the transition zone without plant growth regulators. Here are two highly regarded scientists with quite variable viewpoints on this subject, and I think both are correct in their findings and recommendations, depending on the situation. To get a perspective on the subject let us briefly review the history of the use of compounds that fall outside the category of fertilizers but are known to affect the growth and development of plants. Prior to World War II, a growth hormone in the form of the herbicide 2,4-D, was introduced to selectively control broadleaf weeds in turfgrass populations. Reports of effectiveness varied. Its application for weed control did not become widespread until sufficient research was conducted to show that applications made during the winter months were not effective until warmer weather in the spring when broadleaf weeds were actively growing. Once it was established that this chemical effectiveness was influenced by the environment, its use became standard. This is a reminder that from the beginning of the use of synthetic chemicals that environmental condition must be considered in obtaining desired results when applying chemicals to turf. 2,4-D and similar compounds later became standard components in tissue culture research in the selection and development of new turfgrass cultivars through callus culture. This ‘positive' growth response of 2,4-D clarifies something that we have long known for pesticides, hormones, fertilizers etc. – concentration is very important. In Search of Compounds for Faster Growth Responses Other factors and compounds must also be considered when discussing the initial research into the possible use of these compounds. During the 1980's the first synthetic gibberellic acid (GA) compounds became available. Research by Dr. Felix Juska (1958) detailed how gibberellic acid stimulates plant growth by elongation of stems between the nodes. This was originally thought to be a miracle compound for turfgrass culture. However, by the late 1980s use of GA as a plant growth accelerator was basically terminated except for specialty uses such as pre-germinating perennial ryegrass seed for sports field surface recovery uses, a standard practice by many sports field managers still today. When delving into the reasons cited by scientists and turfgrass managers alike why GA use essentially ceased outside of seed treatments, it seemed that the general consensus was that once a dense turf was established, most managers desired that the grass grew more slowly to decrease maintenance cost! Perhaps Compounds for Slower Growth? To obtain slower turf growth, there was also a lot of interest in the 1980s in the development and testing of Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) as a component of turfgrass management, with initial compounds mostly being used on unimproved turf for radical reductions in foliar growth or seedhead development. Emphasis for fine turf management was placed on synthetic gibberellic inhibitors, such as compounds still widely used today in paclobutrazol and trinexapac-ethyl, to control foliar growth of turfgrasses and improve turfgrass density and playability. One common theme with their use that was first somewhat surprising to end users was the surge of foliar growth when the regulated turf was removed from the treatment program- a phenomenon often referred to as the “rebound stage” of growth and development. Clipping yields increased drastically during the rebound stage due to a buildup of carbohydrates and stored nitrogen in the plants that accumulated during the suppression phase. This is further evidence of response that is due to concentrations of hormones inside the plants (as well as the interactions with other compounds). I briefly mentioned before how 2,4-D is most commonly thought of as a broadleaf herbicide, but at low concentrations it can trigger very positive auxin hormone-based responses that promote cell elongation. The late biochemical pathway suppression of GA by a Class A PGR like trinexapac-ethyl revolutionized how fine turf is managed with a PGR. The main beneficial claim for using gibberellic inhibitors is the reduction of clipping yield plus the enhancement of color, increased stress tolerance and reduced nutrient requirements. Because of the short growth suppression phase, frequent retreatments are required. It is impractical to visually determine the effectiveness of the gibberellic inhibitor treatment to ascertain when retreatment is necessary. One standard method in golf turf putting green management has been golf ball roll distance; when ball roll is slowed because of faster turfgrass growth rate (as measured by an increase in clipping yield), it is a signal to re-treat. Technology and smart devices have now made it common to have PGR-treatment prediction models that combine data collected over the years with varying rates and sources of PGRs with Growing Degree Day data. This is an example of how technology is helping the turfgrass manager further refine their PGR management programs and maintain consistent ball roll speeds for their golfing public. Growth Inhibitors or Metabolic Stimulators Although classified as a PGR, naturally occurring growth regulators such as seaweed extracts and humic acid are not discussed in the same ways as gibberellic acid inhibitors. This is because the main effect of the natural growth regulators is in metabolic enhancement, and these compounds are commonly referred to as biostimulants. By this definition, some PGR'S also may be classified as biostimulants as they also influence the metabolic activity of plants. Therefore, when a material is used to influence plant growth it often is being used primarily as a PGR. When it is used to affect the metabolism of the plant, it may be referred to as a biostimulant. It has been well documented that turfgrasses under environmental stress have an internal increase at the molecular level in potentially phytotoxic oxygen species (called free radicals) within their cells. Simply put, the plant is incapable of utilizing all of the energy from the sun that it is receiving (something we generally associate with photosynthesis and think of as a “good thing” because it is leading to food production). Under conditions of excessive energy absorption, oxygen molecules accept electrons and become a highly reactive free radical form. These free radicals are capable of damaging cell membranes. Under normal conditions the plant has biochemical pathways in place to neutralize free radical formation, but under stress, the build-up of free radicals exceeds the plant's capability of quenching that excessive energy by the production of compounds called antioxidants. It has been shown that supplemental applications of biostimulants (particularly before the most extreme periods of stress arrive) can enhance the development of the antioxidant compounds that can mitigate the toxic influence of the free radicals. Whether materials are applied for growth control or development of antioxidants, environmental conditions must be considered. For example, research has shown that adequate nitrogen fertilizers in the fall and early winter (when grass foliar growth is reduced by cooling temperatures), carbohydrate reserves increase and this ultimately favors root production. However, heavy spring nitrogen fertilization stimulates foliar growth at the expense of root production and places the plant under stress, particularly if the summer months prove to be hot and dry. In Booth's 2023 article, he makes the case that applying PGR's, such as those that inhibit gibberellin production, can add to the stress associated with the summer weather. Data, however, shows these products do influence the metabolic processes that are reported to negate the effects of environmental stress. Other interacting factors that influence the action of the biostimulant are nutrient balance and/or pest activity that negates the results of the treatment. It is difficult to visually observe changes associated with PGR's and the opportunity to adjust programs is often missed. Again, one of the best (but time consuming strategies to adjust programs) is to take daily stimpmeter readings to assess ball roll and/or clipping yields to determine the level of plant growth effect of the supplemental PGR treatments. Relation Between Metabolism and Plant Growth Responses As a means to hopefully better explain some of my earliest research findings in terms of PGR/biostimulant concentrations and turfgrass response(s) (and what I have found in my literature review beyond my time as an active faculty member at Virginia Tech), I turn to findings from a scientific publication from the work done by my successor in turfgrass physiology research at Virginia Tech, Dr. Erik Ervin. Ervin at al. (2004) published a paper on the seasonal influence of biostimulants on root growth, metabolic activity, and overall shade tolerance of creeping bentgrass, an article that covers both basic and applied research findings in this area. Root development of bentgrass, as measured by physical root pulls of plugs grown under the first shade treatment sequence of 88% shade from June to 30 October 2001 (summer through early fall) was not enhanced by trinexapac ethyl, iron, or seaweed + iron treatments, but had an approximate 44% increase for treatment with a standard fungicide, propiconazole. When returned to light conditions for the next six months (November to April 2002, late fall through winter), all root pull measurements were much greater than before, with increases of 37, 41, 20, and 17%, respectively for trinexapac ethyl, propiconazole, iron, and seaweed + iron treatments compared to the untreated control. When shade was introduced again from April to November 2002 (spring to fall sequence), root strength once again declined due to the shade, but trinexapac ethyl, propiconazole (the active ingredient in a standard fungicide, shown to have hormonal-type activity in previous VT research), iron, and seaweed + iron treatments all provided root strength increases of 92, 33, 24, and 6%, respectively, as compared to the untreated control. Two factors are at play here. Root development is obviously linked to the plants producing energy in the lighted conditions. Secondly, grass roots tend to develop during the late fall/winter months when foliar growth was impeded. The bentgrass receiving the trinexapac ethyl treatments retained the most root development compared to the control when measured in Nov 2002. This indicates that the benefits of treatment that enhanced root development during the winter period when the bentgrass was exposed to light persisted. Although the treatments that had the largest root development (bentgrass treated with trinexapac- ethyl under full light in the winter, October 2001 to April 2002) because of the root growth response, they also had the largest percentage root loss the following spring and summer when grown under shade. However, in terms of absolute root numbers as determined by root strength measurements, the bentgrass receiving these treatments still had significantly better root growth than the untreated control. Metabolic Activity Now, how about metabolic activity? Two metabolic variables measured in this shade trial were photochemical efficiency (PE, a measurement of how efficiently plants are utilizing photosynthetically active radiation) and antioxidant activity (a measurement of how the plants were capable of quenching the potentially membrane-damaging energy of free radicals) by way of an increase in an energy-quenching compound, Superoxide Dismutase. PE levels under shaded conditions increased slightly for all treatments compared to the untreated control, but the values only ranged from a 2% increase for Seaweed Extract + Humic Acid to a 9% increase for trinexapac ethyl. While the dense shade drastically reduced all levels of SOD in shaded plants, the relative increases in SOD in the treated bentgrass compared to the untreated control was 39, 74, 78, and 86% greater for seaweed extract + humic acid, trinexapac ethyl, propiconazole, and FeSO4, respectively. Greater SOD levels in the plant impart improved stress tolerance to the bentgrass as it was moved from the shade to sunny conditions. Now, clearly the treatments were no replacement for growing grass in sufficient sunlight, correct? But under such extreme light deprivation, the treatments did trigger the plant's metabolic responses to improve shade tolerance. What This Might Mean for Future Objective Assessments of Overall Turfgrass Health When combining the metabolic enhancement data from the bentgrass shade investigation trial with that of the root development under altering shade and light conditions, it is evident that in general, there were positive responses to the PGR and biostimulant treatments. Determination of the antioxidant activity to ascertain turf health in “real time” is a wet laboratory process and would be impractical for the average turfgrass manager to use it to measure health of the grass. However, the remote sensing technologies that the research teams of Drs. McCall and Askew at Virginia Tech (and scientists at other universities) are evaluating, coupled with the expanding availability of these types of tools to golf course superintendents and sports field managers, and a summary/evaluation of computations possible through artificial intelligence, I think it is likely that one day soon the turf manager will be determining the PE and SOD levels etc. to assess turfgrass health both rapidly and accurately. While ball roll speed, trueness of roll, and/or clipping yields will always give the turf manager very meaningful data in terms of management decisions that affect health and playability aspects, the use of electronic tools will provide the turfgrass manager real time data to tweak the metabolic activity of the turfgrass by way of a PGR or biostimulant application. Summary Although turfgrass ecology is a science, it also very much remains an art as well. Therefore, we should always respect the observations of dedicated turfgrass professionals that pay such close attention to their grasses on a daily basis. Their judgments and measurements reflect the ideal and the extremes in environmental conditions. And their exploration with the pros and cons of PGRs and biostimulants have demonstrated the possibilities and pratfalls for how these tools can affect metabolic processes within the plant that may (or may not) promote better stress tolerance. For as much progress that has been made in this area from the time I began studying biostimulants in the 1980s, there is no doubt that there is so much more we don't know. There are an infinite number of plant hormone concentration possibilities inside plants that trigger plant responses, and with the application of the biostimulant the turfgrass manager is trying to effectively and safely manipulate that hormonal balance. Add to the equation the diversity of turfgrass species, climate, soils, pests, maintenance protocol, turfgrass use etc. and you can appreciate the challenges involved in gaining the desired plant responses. I have somewhat alluded to it, but I don't think I have completely addressed this point: when Dr. Goatley first spoke with me about developing an article about biostimulants and PGRs he made the statement that “in particular one needs to know exactly what is in their biostimulant package if they are on a PGR program”. I agree and it's a reminder that carefully reading and following the label is no different than for a pesticide. For instance, if a turfgrass manager is on a trinexapac-ethyl regulation program and is simultaneously applying a biostimulant that contains GA, their growth regulation is very likely being affected since they are applying the antidote to the PGR activity. There always will be research that needs to be conducted in this area, and I am pleased that the lab of Dr. Xunzhong Zhang at Virginia Tech continues to expand knowledge in this area. Dr. Zhang has published research showing that turfgrass stresses such as drought, salinity, temperature, exposure to UV light, and shade can be reduced by elevating plant antioxidant levels by way of biostimulant applications. Biostimulants are not and will never be replacements for sound management strategies, but they are tools that when applied at the right time and concentration can enhance stress tolerance and improve the health and performance of your turfgrass system.

For thousands of years, people have dreamed of walking off the map — lighting out for the remote unknown, into landscapes untouched and untamed. The classic wilderness quest is as old as literature itself: you go into the wild, and you come out changed. It's woven into ancient spiritual texts, medieval myths, and European accounts of the so-called "New World."But wilderness is an idea as slippery as it is powerful — and wilderness preservation is a complicated and often costly ideal. That's the territory Cal Flyn explores in her new book, The Savage Landscape: How We Made the Wilderness. An award-winning writer, Flyn has traveled — often alone — into some of the most remote and forbidding places on Earth: a desert monastery on Mount Sinai, deep into the Amazon rainforest, up a Tibetan mountain pass, and inside an erupting Icelandic volcano. She gets there by river skiff, deep-sea submersible, helicopter, and horseback, and along the way she finds moments of sheer wonder — and real danger.We talk with Flyn about the history of this ancient idea and why humans keep chasing it. With nearly 8 billion people on the planet, almost no place is truly untouched. So what IS wilderness? Why do we keep seeking it? And who pays the price? Plus: Steve talks with legendary poet and environmental writer Gary Snyder — now 96, once a friend of the Beats and a Zen apprentice in 1950s Japan — about his classic book The Practice of the Wild. Snyder also reads two poems. This is an excerpt from an archival conversation. The original aired on Wisconsin Public Radio's To The Best Of Our Knowledge.

Jim Sexton has spent more than 25 years watching more than 1,000 couples who once loved each other divide their families, fortunes and futures – but the experiences that shaped him most happened long before he entered a courtroom. One of America's most successful divorce lawyers opens up about growing up with an alcoholic father, nearly losing his mother throughout childhood, confronting fear, dealing with anticipatory grief, being overweight, rebuilding his body, and learning how extraordinary communication can transform relationships, negotiations and careers.James “Jim” Sexton is one of America's most prominent divorce lawyers, a bestselling author and one of the internet's most widely watched voices on love, marriage and why relationships fall apart.But before exploring the courtroom lessons that made him famous, Randall Kaplan takes Jim back to the experiences that created the man behind the reputation and incredible success.The conversation also explores Jim's struggle with weight, isolation and bullying. After reaching college, he made the decision to change his physical condition one difficult step at a time—eventually becoming a marathon runner, weightlifter and longtime Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.Jim then recounts his time as a hospice volunteer, including sitting with people who had no family present during their final hours and reading them stories. He shares why he would read Winnie-the-Pooh aloud to dying patients and how those experiences taught him to keep death in his peripheral vision without allowing it to diminish his appreciation for life.He also reveals the practice he developed of telling the people he loves how he feels before every goodbye. For Jim, it is not enough to tell someone that you love them. He believes they should also know that you fully recognize and feel their love for you.Timestamps:00:00 — Why a lawyer who has watched 1,000 marriages collapse still believes in love01:44 — The chaotic childhood that trained Jim to read people instantly08:15 — What happens when a child is repeatedly told his mother may die14:05 — The moment Jim decided he could no longer remain the “fat kid”20:00 — Why he volunteered to sit beside strangers as they died24:57 — The two things Jim wants everyone he loves to know before he dies29:43 — The letter to his late mother that uncovered a lifelong emotional wound37:30 — Why Jim kept a tarantula beside his bed for more than 20 years40:45 — When fear creates success—and when it begins destroying it50:40 — The unglamorous job experience Jim requires from potential employees57:31 — The communication skill that separates Jim from other elite lawyers1:03:00 — Why authenticity matters more than sounding impressive1:04:40 — What Jim learned from FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss1:07:00 — The storytelling secret behind Jim's extraordinary audience retentionAbout Jim SextonJames Sexton is one of the country's most prominent and successful divorce and matrimonial attorneys.

In Revelation 12, John sees a “great wonder in heaven”—a “woman clothed with the sun…and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.” The Catholic interpretation assigns this image to Mary, the mother of Jesus, to help prove their claim that she is now the Queen of heaven.

I go over the meeting preparation system I use while developing my animated feature film The Arbiters, including how I organize notes, separate ideas from decisions, create actionable discussion points, and dramatically reduce confusion, revisions, wasted time, and unnecessary costs. Great creative projects aren't built during meetings—they're built through the preparation that happens before everyone sits down together.7-Day Challenge Spend one uninterrupted hour preparing before your next meeting. Write down every issue beforehand. Convert each issue into an actionable question or decision. Notice how much shorter and more productive the meeting becomes.

The Bridge: Building Toward re(New)ed Theatre Audiences is a new special series hosted by AT Offscript. Produced with support from the Wallace Foundation, the series debuted on March 6, 2026, exploring how theatres are innovating to engage and sustain audiences amid the shifting realities of the field. Amid the “polycrises” of the present moment, TCG's most recent Theatre Facts report revealed an unexpected ray of hope: In contrast to pandemic-driven declines in overall attendance and ticket revenue, subscriptions and other loyalty models have shown renewed resilience. The Bridge will take listeners inside theatres that are bucking the decades-long trend of subscription decline, offering both visionary questions and practical strategies for audience engagement. Our sixth episode features Corinna Schulenburg, Co-Lead of TCG's Research Programs, in conversation with Ariel Fristoe, founder and artistic director of Out of Hand Theater. From their website: "Out of Hand works at the intersection of art, social impact, and civic engagement. We help create a more just world through programs that combine theater and film with information and conversation." The Bridge is supported by the Wallace Foundation, and grounded in their research report, "In Search of the Magic Bullet: Results from the Building Audiences for Sustainability Initiative."

Why do so many great ideas never become finished projects? In this episode, I break down the concept of working at the speed of thought, a philosophy I learned from filmmaker Robert Rodriguez that transformed how I approach creativity, filmmaking, productivity, and execution.If you're a filmmaker, entrepreneur, writer, content creator, artist, or anyone who struggles with turning ideas into action, this episode covers practical systems for reducing creative bottlenecks, staying organized, testing ideas quickly, and building a workflow that helps you execute instead of procrastinate. We also explore how constraints fuel creativity, why organization matters more than motivation, and the habits that allowed us to produce over 100 shows a week at AfterBuzz TV.Topics Covered: What "working at the speed of thought" really means Why most great ideas never get executed The six habits behind faster creative execution How Robert Rodriguez plans every project before production The organization mistake that kills creative momentum Why creative constraints lead to better ideas How rapid experimentation saves time and money The questions that unlock breakthrough solutions Why wearing multiple hats makes you a better creator The productivity lesson behind AfterBuzz TV's output How to eliminate bottlenecks from your workflow Turning inspiration into finished work consistently
In today's episode we sit down with a truly singular guest: Richard J. Perry—entrepreneur, seasoned guitarist, wellness advocate, and the soon‑to‑be‑published author of In Search of the Perfect Guitar: An Unexpected Journey of Awakening (coming fall 2026).Richard's story reads like a modern adventure: from tracking Soviet submarines in the Indian Ocean's convergent zones, to chasing the perfect tone on vintage and boutique guitars, to founding Red Spinach Company, a functional‑food supplement that fuels body and mind. He'll share how the “ping” of a sonar echo first sparked his fascination with vibration, how a single low‑E note can become a meditative anchor in moments of depression, and why flamenco's raw, historical sorrow resonates with him more than any playlist.We'll also dive into:The surprising parallels between sonar pings and guitar notes.The ritual of holding a guitar—how a wood's “aura” can carry the memory of centuries‑old trees and past players.Richard's go‑to “single‑note” practice for emotional reset and why he prefers the silence that follows.A lightning‑round of quick picks—acoustic vs. electric, underrated guitars, the one song that never lets him go, and the instrument that would headline his life's soundtrack.The powerful synergy of nutrition and music, and why feeling good physically amplifies artistic expression.The magic of live performance—the breath‑holding moment right before the first note, and why a small‑venue show can feel more alive than a stadium.If you've ever felt stuck in a mental fog, wondered whether a particular sound could shift your mood, or simply love the quiet mystery of a perfectly struck chord, this conversation is for you. Grab your headphones, settle in, and let Richard's journey remind us that beneath every wave—whether oceanic or sonic—lies a path toward healing.When Words Fail, Music Speaks—let's listen together.

What separates people who master a skill from those who quit? It's not IQ, talent, or how much they already know—it's what they do when they don't know the answer.

You've probably heard the phrase practice makes perfect your entire life—but what if it's actually holding you back? In this episode, I explain why practice makes permanent is a far more accurate principle for building success, improving your skills, and creating lasting habits.Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, artist, filmmaker, student, or anyone trying to improve at work or in life, this episode explores how your daily habits shape your future. We discuss why going through the motions reinforces bad behaviors, how consistent intentional practice creates mastery, and why the habits you build in one area of life often transfer into every other area.

How do you know if someone is truly a great leader? In a world obsessed with results, status, and influence, it's easy to overlook the one quality that ultimately determines whether leadership leaves people better—or worse.In this episode, I explore what makes real leadership through the lens of quotes from Cleo Wade and Mahatma Gandhi. We discuss why moral character matters more than charisma, why the "ends justify the means" is a dangerous philosophy, how leaders shape culture, and the questions we should ask before following anyone—whether they're politicians, CEOs, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, or creators. If you're interested in leadership, personal growth, ethics, business, or becoming someone others can trust, this episode is for you.Topics Covered: Why results alone don't make someone a great leader The hidden cost of "the ends justify the means" The Cleo Wade quote that changed how I view leadership Gandhi's warning about temporary victories Why love is often misunderstood as weakness How dishonest leaders shape toxic cultures The leadership questions everyone should ask before following someone Why character outlasts success How to lead even without a leadership title The difference between influence and integrity Why great leaders make other people better How to become the kind of leader others trust

If you've ever wondered why successful people don't respond to your emails, LinkedIn messages, or requests for mentorship, this episode explains what separates thoughtful advice seekers from everyone else. Whether you're a filmmaker, entrepreneur, writer, artist, student, or content creator, learning how to ask for advice can dramatically improve the quality of mentorship, networking, and career opportunities you receive.I break down why advice is never truly free, how to ask better questions, why doing your homework first matters, what mentors actually look for before investing their time, and the biggest mistake people make after receiving advice. If you want stronger professional relationships, better mentors, and more meaningful guidance, these principles can change how people respond to you.Topics Covered: Why free advice is never actually free The homework every mentor expects you to do first Why "Can I pick your brain?" usually fails How to ask questions professionals actually enjoy answering The best places to seek mentorship and career advice Why relationships matter more than cold outreach How supporting someone's work earns more access The biggest mistake people make after getting advice Why taking action leads to better mentorship How successful people decide who to help Why mentors invest in people who execute The mindset shift that gets you better advice
Fossil fuel combustion has made dangerous heat waves ever more frequent. The short term answer — for those who have one — is to turn on the air conditioner. But air conditioning makes the the problem even worse. Environmental journalist Sam Bloch discusses the ways that cities used to be designed for shade, and stresses the urgent need for shelter from the sun — especially for the unhoused, farm workers, and others who labor outdoors.
