This episode of "Seeing Them Live" features Eric Vollweiler, a seasoned producer, marketing consultant, and strategist in the film, festival, and entertainment industry with nearly two decades of experience. Charles explores Eric's journey from his early concert experiences to his current work helping festivals and creators connect with audiences, sponsors, and industry partners, including major festivals like Sundance, Cannes, and Toronto. Eric's passion for live entertainment was shaped early—his mother took him to his first concert at age 14, seeing Aerosmith with Black Crows at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. He also attended a massive Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills & Nash show that drew 70,000 people. After high school, Eric moved to New York City in 1996, working at legendary nightclubs like the China Club and the Tunnel under mentor Michael James. During this time, he even worked alongside a young Mark Sinclair—now known as Vin Diesel—at an elite catering company. His nightclub experience ended when he broke his wrist breakdancing at the Tunnel, prompting him to move back upstate for college. Eric's festival career began in 2001 when he volunteered at Sundance, eventually co-producing seven events there. A memorable highlight was sneaking into a Beastie Boys performance at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. He recently launched the Vollweiler Agency, which provides comprehensive services to festivals including sponsorship acquisition, advertising, and social media strategy. Currently, he's working on the 11th annual Hip Hop Film Festival in New York City, which focuses on hip-hop culture through the lens of filmmaking. At the heart of his work is a commitment to filmmakers and providing opportunities for the next generation, guided by his philosophy: "Never ask the CEO for a job, but ask him to learn" and "the humbler you are, the better you'll be in life."

What happens after you hit stop on a conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about grades, college, and internships?In this recap episode of the Disrupt Education Podcast, Peter Hostrawser and Alli Dahl unpack their recent conversation with Brandon Busteed and go even deeper into what it all means.Peter shares the full circle moment of first hearing Brandon speak a decade ago and how that research on experiential learning helped shape the Disrupt Education movement. Alli connects the dots between her own early work experiences and the idea that we need to value the learning from all work, not just what happens in a classroom.They wrestle with big questions.If grades are inflated, what are they really measuring?Why are internships still not scaled in higher education?Are students going into debt for something employers are not prioritizing?What would happen if we treated work as learning from day one?This episode is about mindset shifts, internships, work based learning, and redefining what signals real readiness. If last week's conversation made you think, this one will push you further. The data is there. The opportunity is there. The question is whether education and industry are ready to align.A quick thank you to our sponsor, YouScience Brightpath, the next generation platform helping students make personalized decisions as they move from education to career.

George Wright II interviews broadcaster and longtime host Nicea DeGering, who has spent about 30 years in television, including 23 years with Good Things Utah. Nicea shares how she pursued journalism from childhood, trained at BYU's broadcasting program, and landed at ABC4 after an internship—ultimately being thrust into a crime reporter role at 23 when a reporter quit. She describes the steep learning curve of crime reporting, early failures, and how opposition and being told she couldn't do it fueled her persistence. Nicea reflects on covering the Elizabeth Smart case for eight weeks and how she would now bring more empathy and community perspective. She also discusses changes in media consumption, the rise of phones and digital platforms, and why trusted local sources still matter. Finally, she shares her passion for travel, explains how travel builds perspective and lasting memories, and previews a forthcoming travel podcast focused on making travel more accessible and experience-driven, tying it to end-of-life regrets about time and family. She closes by encouraging people to lean into what they're passionate about, be multifaceted, and grow authority through consistent practice and connection, and provides her website and social channels for listeners to follow.01:20 The Art of Making Guests Comfortable: News vs Lifestyle Hosting02:24 Childhood Dream to Broadcast: BYU, Internships, and Early TV Lessons04:12 Thrown Into Crime Reporting at 23: Trial by Fire in the Newsroom05:59 The Surprise Pivot: Getting Assigned to Host ‘Good Things Utah'07:32 Fuel for the Fire: Proving People Wrong & Taking the Opportunity09:09 Using the Platform for Impact: Stories, Issues, and Making Utah Better12:38 Media Has Changed: Connection Over Authority + The Rise of Phones & Social14:57 Why ‘Good Things Utah' Lasts: Format, Trust, and Local Credibility16:58 From Local Reporter to Netflix: Revisiting the Elizabeth Smart Case17:55 What I'd Do Differently Now: Empathy, Community, and Perspective18:52 How to Build Connection: Listen Like You Mean It20:11 Control the Narrative Without Sounding Scripted (Transitions + Talking Points)21:40 Don't Memorize—Prepare, Then Be Human on Camera23:25 Confidence Comes From Reps: Do It Daily, Learn Through Failure24:26 Why Travel Matters: Perspective, Family Memories, and a New Podcast29:27 Travel as a Mindset: Regrets, Time, and Making Memories NowAbout Nicea DeGeringAn Emmy-award-winning television anchor, host, and media personality best known for her long-standing role on Good Things Utah, the lifestyle and morning show on ABC4 Utah.

Labor continues to be one of the biggest pressure points in agriculture. But when you are not hiring a full-time, long-term employee, the real question becomes: What kind of help do you actually need?In this episode of the Ranch Workforce Project, host Haylie Shipp and co-host Rachel Frost sit down with Taylre Sitz Zempel of Sitz Angus Ranch and Dan Leahy of the Foundation for Ranch Management to break down the practical differences between seasonal labor, internships, and apprenticeships.This conversation goes beyond definitions. It dives into expectations, responsibility, logistics, mindset, and the long-term impact these roles can have on the ranch workforce pipeline.What We CoverSeasonal Labor A largely transactional relationship. A defined timeframe, clear expectations, and productivity that directly impacts profitability. Often requires minimal training and the ability to step in and contribute quickly.Internships A shorter-term learning opportunity. Ranches may invest more time in training and mentorship while students gain exposure, experience, and foundational skills. Internships can play a significant role in shaping the next generation entering agriculture.Apprenticeships A longer-term, structured commitment with higher expectations on both sides. Focused not only on completing tasks but on developing thought processes, decision-making ability, and mastery. Apprenticeships often serve as a bridge into long-term careers and leadership roles.Key Themes from the ConversationWords matter. Titles like intern and apprentice carry real expectations.Ranchers must be honest about how much time and training they can realistically provide.Soft skills such as communication, humility, reflection, and attitude are just as important as technical skills.Logistics matter. Housing, transportation, and basic living arrangements can make or break a placement.The workforce pipeline in agriculture is not empty. There are young people eager to enter the industry, but clarity and alignment are critical.Internships and apprenticeships do more than fill labor gaps. They help build the future of agriculture beyond a single ranch gate.You will also hear powerful stories of growth, failure, perseverance, and the long-term impact of mentorship.Learn MoreDan Scott Ranch Management Programhttps://animalrange.montana.edu/danscott/Sitz Angus Ranch https://www.sitzangus.com/If you are considering bringing on seasonal labor, an intern, or an apprentice, this episode offers practical guidance and encouragement to help you decide which structure best fits your operation and your long-term goals.Support the showThe Ranchers Stewardship Alliance (RSA) is a rancher-led, grassroots organization, dedicated to improving the quality of life for rural communities throughout the Northern Great Plains.

Send us a textTwo veterans compare notes across decades and land on a surprising culprit: speed. We've made decks faster, calls shorter, and data denser—yet clear thinking, discovery, and trust are harder to find. So we unpack how to win in a world that moves this quickly without letting the work get shallow.We start with an honest look at craft. Flip charts forced logic; slides can hide it. That same trade-off shows up in sales. Features and price feel efficient, but real results come from visiting the operation, learning how money is made, and fixing pain the customer actually feels. We share field-tested rituals—loss reviews, win reviews, and customer councils—that reveal blind spots and shape offers that stick. There's smart tech here too: AI models that predict companion parts and boost helpful upsells, but only because they're tied to domain knowledge and genuine curiosity.Culture becomes the engine. People do their best work when they're known and safe to speak up. We talk about simple moves that change everything: time blocking that protects “think time,” a monthly “three-to-five fixes” habit anyone can own, and playful recognition that makes excellence visible. An ownership mindset—like an ESOP—teaches cause and effect, rewards small wins, and turns visibility tools from “surveillance” into shared gains. We also call out a quiet gap: parts, service, and sales management lack practical certification, so many learn to survive the job without ever learning the job. Internships, co-ops, and rotational training rebuild the bench and speed trust.AI threads the conversation with nuance. Adoption is lower than the headlines suggest, and that's normal; every breakthrough needs process change to matter. We argue for foundations first—teach measurement before automating it, teach thinking before prompting—and for using AI to buy back time you reinvest in relationships, strategy, and craft. The constant through every story is simple: reduce pain, earn trust, and create space to think. Do that, and the tools amplify you. Skip it, and the tools just make bad habits faster.If this resonates, share it with a teammate, subscribe for more candid conversations, and leave a review telling us one ritual you use to protect your thinking time.

On this episode of Discover Lafayette, we sit down with two leaders deeply involved in shaping student career readiness at University of Louisiana at Lafayette: Brandi Hollier, Director of the B.I. Moody College of Business Internship Program, and Kim Billeaudeau, Director of the Office of Career Services. Together, they share how internships, professional preparation, and employer partnerships come together to help students transition confidently from the classroom into the workforce — while also supporting local businesses looking to grow talent. Kim Billeaudeau: A Career Built on Mentorship Kim Billeaudeau has served in Career Services for 25 years, including nearly 19 years as director. A Louisiana native from Opelousas, Kim's journey began close to home. “I grew up right down the street in Opelousas, and I taught high school,” she shared. After earning her degree from UL and teaching high school for two years, she realized her passion was helping students navigate life beyond graduation. “I remembered mentors that I had as a student at UL Lafayette; professional staff members who saw something in me as a student leader,” Kim said. “When Career Services came available, it was perfect.” Over the years, Kim has helped students with résumés, interviewing, dining etiquette, career fairs, and professional presence. She still sees the long-term impact today. “They'll say, ‘Miss Kim, you taught me dining etiquette' or ‘you helped me with my résumé.' What I do is amazing, and I'm so blessed to be able to help students each and every day, to graduate and be successful from our institution.” Professional Skills Beyond the Classroom Kim emphasized that many students simply haven't had exposure to professional environments before. “Sometimes students don't have an opportunity to put on professional clothing or go through a four or five course meal,” she explained. “The more we can provide them that hands-on experience, that's part of the education experience.” Career Services offers mock interviews, interview preparation, and coaching on everything from researching employers to follow-up thank-you notes. “We do a lot of mock interviews with students. Everything from preparing for the interview, not only choosing what to wear, but researching the company, getting notes together, thinking of what questions you can ask in the interview and getting them to understand that it’s a two way street. Everything to giving a good firm handshake, introducing yourself, when to sit, where to sit, looking the employer in the eye, smiling, and then answering interview questions. And then the follow up with thank you, and online applications. We coach students all through the process.” Kim is also a certified etiquette consultant through The Etiquette Institute and completed refresher training on post-COVID etiquette, which she now incorporates into student preparation. Brandi Guidry Hollier: From Student to Professor to Internship Director Brandi Hollier is an associate professor in the Department of Management and has served as Director of the Moody College of Business Internship Program for more than 12 years. A Lafayette native, her career path has come full circle. She’s currently the recipient of two endowed professorships. “I was born and raised here in Lafayette, Louisiana. I kind of grew up at UL,” Brandi said. She earned both her undergraduate degree and MBA from UL before starting as an adjunct instructor, later becoming full-time faculty and earning her doctorate. “There are professors at the university that have taught me that I now work with, which is a beautiful thing.” Brandi also oversees internship programming that connects students with real-world experience before graduation. “There are opportunities to go out into an organization and get some professional experience prior to entering the workforce,” she said. “It's my honor and it's a blessing to be able to help students in doing that.” Research, Technology, and the Changing Business Landscape Brandi's research focuses on technology adoption, including telemedicine, artificial intelligence, and personality in human-computer interaction, work that directly influences how she teaches. “Artificial intelligence is here to stay,” she noted. “We have to allow students the opportunity to engage with that, and teach them how to properly do so within ethical realms.” She emphasized that curriculum is evolving to reflect rapid changes in technology and business practices. Internships: Events, Employers, and Real Connections Through collaboration with Career Services, the Moody College of Business offers internship panels, employer seminars, networking receptions, and career fair prep seminars. One standout event is the business internship networking reception held at the UL Lafayette Alumni Center. “Resumes are not brought in. We discourage that,” Brandi explained. “We just want them to have a conversation.” Employers often leave these events already knowing who they intend to hire or having significantly narrowed their candidate pool. “Small, medium, large sized enterprises — we welcome any and all,” she said. Handshake: A Central Portal for Students and Employers Both offices rely on Handshake, a centralized online portal where employers can post internships, part-time, and full-time positions at no cost. “It's all online,” Kim said. “Handshake is really a powerful tool.” All UL Lafayette students automatically have access and can build profiles with résumés, cover letters, and skills. Alumni also retain access. Paid vs. Unpaid Internships and Academic Credit Brandi explained that guidance comes from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which encourages compensated internships whenever possible. Students may also earn academic credit if the internship aligns with their major and is approved through a multi-step process involving the employer, department coordinator, and internship office. “It's a three-hour credit,” Brandi noted, often taken as an elective, though required in some programs. Preparing Students — and Employers Both Kim and Brandi emphasized that their offices support not only students, but also employers who may not know where to begin. “We never want it to be frustrating for a company to hire a student,” Kim said. “We can help make the connections.” They also encourage employers to think ahead, create clear job descriptions, provide orientation, mentorship, and regular feedback. “That feedback loop is so very important,” Brandi stressed. Confidence, Clothing, and the Career Closet One of the most impactful resources discussed was the Career Closet, which provides free professional clothing to students. “We had over 700 students take items out of the closet last semester,” Kim shared. Students keep the clothing, helping ease financial barriers to professional attire. UL Lafayette students can shop for up to 16 free professional clothing items per semester to prepare for events such as interviews, banquets, student organization events, and much more. Career Services also offers free professional headshots at career fairs. “They'll say, ‘I can't wait to send this to my mom,'” Kim said. “They get so much pride seeing themselves in that professional photo.” Donations of gently used professional clothing and accessories are encouraged and much needed. For more information on how you can contribute, please visit https://louisiana.edu/career/students-alumni/career-closet Advice for Students Brandi Holllier shared, “One of my favorite questions, and I do share this with students to ask at the end of the interview is, ‘How would I get feedback on my job performance if hired?’ That shows the company you want their feedback. You want to learn, you want to grow. You know, that’s the experience. It’s about learning and growing. I feel that’s a really great question for students to pose in an interview.” Both Kim and Brandi strongly encourage students to maintain a professional online presence. “Employers will search you online,” Brandi noted, emphasizing the importance of LinkedIn and being mindful of social media and what photos you share online. Life Outside of Work Outside of campus, Brandi enjoys reading and occasionally playing piano alongside her daughter. TV is not a part of her life, and her quiet, beautifully serene nature is reflected in her wise choices as to how she spends her free time. Kim, meanwhile, is currently actively wearing the hat of wedding planner as her daughter prepares for an April 2026 wedding. “Every moment I have outside of my job is spent on wedding planning,” she said with a big smile. This conversation offers a valuable look at how UL Lafayette prepares students for professional success — and how local employers can engage meaningfully with the next generation of talent.

(Dec 31, 2025) People who are released from prison often have trouble finding a job and a home, as well as discrimination because of their criminal record. A new SUNY program matches formerly incarcerated people with internships to help them with the difficult transition of returning to civilian life. Also: New York recorded the highest number of flu cases in a single week.

Low resource settings require much innovation and streamlining resources to meet set goals. With healthcare becoming more commercial and profit driven, missional healthcare in low resource settings faces many challenges. Sustainability is a big question with people finance , and equipment scarce and hard to come by. Missional models of healthcare often run into hurdles of sustainability, longevity and relevance even as healthcare slowly turns into business. In this setting of multifactorial challenges and increasing compliances how can missional healthcare be relevant and sustainable? Many saints of God have committed their lives to fulfil this great commission in some of the most underserved and unreached areas of the world. With the birth of Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA) a different model of missional healthcare emerged in India. Over the last 55 years of its existence, EHA has shown that through all the challenges, this may be one of the ways to sustain missional healthcare in areas of need. With increasing divide between the rich and poor, overwhelmed government systems, a ruthless insurance system, and high end corporate healthcare, it is still possible for missional healthcare to provide low cost, high quality, technologically advanced care to people in need while remaining sustainable. We bring lessons from India and our experience with Emmanuel Hospital Association over the last 3 decades.
Oglethorpe University and The King Center are partnering to teach Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s way of leadership – centering nonviolence, civic responsibility, courage and compassion. Under their new partnership agreement, four selected Oglethorpe students will participate in The King Center Scholars Program and receive The King Center's Nonviolence365 training. We hear from Oglethorpe University’s Dr. Kendra King Momon, a politics professor and the associate provost of academic affairs, and Dr. Gabriel Barreneche, a provost and vice president for academic affairs. They discuss details about the partnership that allows students to learn more about Dr. King’s principles. Plus, data from the National Alliance for Caregiving reveals 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. are caregivers. Along with caring for a loved one, many caregivers are juggling careers and other responsibilities. It’s something Chanel T. Rowe, an Atlanta-based attorney and caregiving advocate, understands. Since 2019, she’s been navigating the many experiences that come with being a caregiver. Rowe talks with program host Rose Scott about her journey and the hope and inspiration she wants readers to gain from her new book, “Finding Balance: A Devotional to Help Caregivers Move from Suffering to Strength.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the Chad & Cheese Podcast, hosts Joel Cheesman and Chad Sowash welcomed Julia Levy, a seasoned talent acquisition (TA) leader, job search strategist, HR tech advisor, and author of From Hi to Hired: Your Insider Guide to Internships. Julia, recently departed from AutoZone, shared her 25+ years of TA experience across diverse industries, including tech consulting, staffing (Robert Half), financial services (MetLife, Fiserv), and manufacturing (Comscope). She discussed navigating the complex HR tech landscape, emphasizing the importance of identifying specific organizational problems before selecting technology, rather than chasing trendy solutions at conferences like RECFEST. Julia highlighted the challenge of distinguishing genuine AI innovations from rebranded legacy systems and shared her approach to vendor due diligence, leveraging networks and customer references. Transitioning to consulting, she noted a shift from corporate constraints to a more fulfilling role, though still receiving sales pitches as if she were at AutoZone. Her book targets college students facing a tough job market, offering strategies like being a "connector" on LinkedIn, targeting company problems, and turning rejections into growth opportunities. Julia stressed the value of internships and alternative career paths in trades or growth-oriented companies like AutoZone, noting a 10-20% reduction in internship programs due to economic uncertainty.

Ask someone to describe the current job market and you're bound to hear a range of labels like "soft," "mixed," and even "positive." However you see it, one thing's for sure: the current job market is unusual. Due to a number of factors, it seems like we've never experienced a market quite like this. If you're seeking or considering a new role, some of the traditional tactics still work. At the same time, it's important to adopt some new approaches as well. Phil Heavilin is director of Internships and Applied Learning at William & Mary. He works for the university's Office of Career Development and Professional Engagement. Throughout his career, he's guided countless people through their job searches, from new grads, to mid-level, to senior level professionals.

Mason School of Business at William and Mary can help you and your organization develop your top talent through customized executive education and professional development programs.
