Artist, pioneer, and mentor, Peter Layton is one of the founding fathers of British Studio Glass. He discovered the art form while teaching ceramics in the US in the mid-1960s and has played a major part in elevating glass from an industrial medium to a highly collectable art form. Most importantly, he gave it a home in the UK. This month, London Glassblowing presents Glass Heaven, an exhibition uniting two exceptional glass artists: Layton and Tim Rawlinson. The show opened August 2 and will run through September 1, 2024. Representing the next generation of glass talent, Rawlinson combines innovative approach and vibrant compositions to offer a fresh perspective, challenging conventional boundaries and resonating with today's artistic landscape. Layton, a veteran in the glass world, has captivated audiences for decades with his bold, expressive works. His 50-year journey from the studio's beginnings on the Thames to international acclaim highlights his role in elevating glass art.  Born in Prague in 1937, Layton is one of Europe's pre-eminent glass designers. He has directly influenced several of his country's leading glassmakers and inspired many more. Arriving in England in 1939, there he began his education. While at grammar school, he met another boy who had also won the attention of his art teacher – his name was David Hockney. Layton attended Bradford Art College, then went to London's Central School of Art and Design, to specialize in ceramics, where he was taught by several of the most respected potters of the time.  On graduating, Layton was offered a teaching job in Iowa University's Ceramics Department. Once in the US, in 1966, he participated in one of the first experimental glass workshops with Harvey Littleton and was bewitched by the immediacy and spontaneity of hot glass. He went on to expand his connections and friendships on this side of the pond to include participating in a Los Angeles exhibition with Marvin Lipofsky, a San Francisco show with pop artist Mel Ramos, and an exhibition at The Art Institute of Chicago with Viola Frey. Back in Britain, in 1969 Layton helped Sam Herman build the first furnace at the Glasshouse in Covent Garden, and he subsequently established his own small glass studio at Morar in the Highlands of Scotland, a Glass Department at Hornsey College of Art (Middlesex University) and, in 1976, the London Glassblowing Workshop in an old towage works on the Thames at Rotherhithe. In 2009 Layton's London Glassblowing Studio and Gallery moved to much larger premises in Bermondsey. Since its opening, London Glassblowing has nurtured and produced some of the world's leading glass artists, including (most recently) Elliot Walker of Netflix Blown Away fame. Layton's colorful and painterly works of glass art can be found in numerous public and private collections, both at home and abroad, including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. He has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally, receiving an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Bradford for his contribution to arts and crafts in Britain. Layton is also the founder of the Contemporary Glass Society, which is Britain's foremost organization supporting and championing the work of glass artists, both established and new. A vigorous proponent of glassblowing as an art form, Layton has authored several books, become an Honorary Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers, an Honorary life member of the Contemporary Glass Society as well as been given the Freedom of the City of London.  Layton has always taken inspiration from his environment, natural or manmade: a stone wall on a snowy day, the London skyline, or works by great painters. From a mere detail, a flash of a Klimt orange or a slick of oil on the Thames, he creates painterly works with a masterly use of color. The artist is inspired by whatever is around him. For example, during the winter of 2009, the heavy snow turned his long commute by train into an intriguing black and white world full of movement and texture, shaping his recent Glacier series. He has also created a number of conceptual pieces that reflect his specific concerns with issues such as ecology, religion and racial conflict. Layton says: “A fellow artist recently described a piece that I had made for her by saying, ‘…it's as though it holds all my travels in light.' Lovely compliments like that spur me on. You never, ever create the perfect piece of glass and there are always new ideas, techniques and challenges to master. Glass is such an underrated medium – there is a fluidity and uncertainty about it that I choose to embrace rather than overcome. Every piece is an adventure.”  From October 8 – 13, 2024, PAD London returns to the iconic Berkeley Square in Mayfair, where London Glassblowing will be showcasing an extraordinary selection of work from their talented makers alongside designers and galleries from over 20 countries worldwide. To coincide with PAD and Le Verre, London Glassblowing is offering a series of exclusive events, providing a unique opportunity to explore and learn more about the captivating medium of glass.

The sisters discuss fellow Iowa alum Caitlin Clark's recent troubles as a rookie in the WNBA which launches a larger discussion into female friendships. How important they are to build and maintain and how we lean on our long-time friends, and how they're different but equally important from the relationships with the men in our lives. Did you know that deep friendships can save your life?Nancy also shares a hack for how to see movies in the theatre on the cheap.What's for Dinner:Easy Sourdough Blueberry Bread 1 cup cane sugar1 large lemon zested + juiced½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled3 eggs¼ cup avocado oil or other liquid oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract¼ cup milk½ cup sourdough discard1 ½ cups all-purpose flour + ½ tablespoon for the blueberries1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon baking powder1 ½ cups blueberriesCrumble4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted2 tablespoons cane sugar½ cup all-purpose flourPinch of saltInstructions In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, lemon juice and zest, and butter for about one minute. Add the eggs, avocado oil, vanilla, and milk. Beat again until just combined. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the sourdough discard until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Pour into the wet ingredients and fold until everything is just incorporated. Do not over mix. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the ½ tablespoon of flour until completely coated. Fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Make the crumble by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl. Spread the crumble mixture over the top of the loaf evenly. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Begin checking at the 50 minute mark. Let cool for 20 minutes in the pan before carefully transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling for another 40 minutes before slicing and serving.

Today these three Iowa University alums discuss Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeye's amazing March Madness run.

Form the meat into 4 large meatballs (about 4½ oz each), then pat each ball into a 1-inch-thick disc; smooth out the edges as best you can. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or until ready to cook (up to 24 hours, covered).Turn on your exhaust fan and heat a 12-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the patties from the fridge and season all over with the salt. Coat the hot pan evenly with the oil. Place the burgers on the skillet one at a time, firmly smashing them flat with a metal spatula until about ¼-inch thick before adding and smashing the next one.

Terrence Thames is the CEO of Advanced Media Production Firm, LLC dba Cocoa Creative Agency. Terrence Thames is a man of faith, husband, father, and entrepreneur. Terrence has a passion for seeing others succeed in business and in life – especially people of color. Having grown up on the South Side of Chicago, Terrence was raised by his college-aged cousin in Iowa City at the age of 9 where he was exposed to a better life and more opportunities. At that time, Terrence became heavily involved in church, video production, journalism, and music. Working professionally since the age of 17, Terrence launched his own creative agency in 2011 – Advanced Media Production Firm, LLC dba Cocoa Creative Agency. Terrence is currently focused on family, faith, and wealth-building among minorities and their communities.   Here's what we covered on the episode: Terrence's Young Start to Video Editing  How I'm currently in a business accelerator at Drake University in Des Moines, IA, for a new business I was to start, and how Terrence is a business advisor within the program, which is how we met  Terrence shares that he learned to edit videos at the age of 12 from a family friend and then started volunteering to edit videos for their church program at the time  When Terrence got older, he started doing more creative editing using Premiere and Final Cut, which really made things take off for him  After high school, Terrence started working at the University of Iowa in the athletics video department, where he was able to combine his love for sports, video production, and design  There are many approaches to production, but Terrence's approach to editing has been taking standard video production from live events, cutting them up on a computer on a timeline, and then putting together a narrative with music to help convey a message     Terrence got to practice his skills through sporting events at the University of Iowa and even helped on some TV sports shows for coaches  When Terrence was volunteering for his church, their TV program was on the local public access station, where people could make anything for any purpose, so Terrence grew up around people who were creating art and things for community programs  You can use video editing and production to create so many different things, and we see more and more people get into editing or content creation because of the accessibility we have through social media and our phones  How a lot of people may not know they are editors even though they are engaging with content all the time and changing it into something else  Terrence explains that many games were covered by ABC, ESPN, or Fox Sports, but if someone didn't show up to work, they would call the person for video production for the school and ask if they had any students to do different tasks for them, like running a camera so Terrence would take many of those opportunities Terrence says its a really special thing when you're able to combine your passions as he has with sports and editing video production  By freelancing and taking those opportunities, Terrence was able to build his resume with many bigger brands early on through proximity, and because he lived in a smaller town, he was able to get to anyone, which opened up even more opportunities    Creating His Business + Getting Experience  In his heart, Terrence always knew he wanted to have a business, but he says he really wanted to have something on paper for tax purposes, so he was thinking about names and came up with Advanced Media Production Firm           Before making his business an LLC, he had it as a sole proprietorship with his local county and was working full-time while doing his business on the side  How Terrence moved to Des Moines and 2010 and in 2011 had his business filed as an LLC, which is when the business officially started - he didn't have a business plan or very many clients but knew that if he was going to be freelancing or doing work for people he wanted to have it separated on paper as an entity When building his brand, Terrence says it was a lot of manifestation, God opening up opportunities and using his personal experiences with brands as part of his business portfolio Terrence made a website early on, and people started to call - sometimes, the small projects were for big brands, which he leveraged  Growing up, Terrence's church did fundraisers by working concessions at the University of Iowa games - during the 4th quarter, they shut down the concessions, and Terrence was able to watch the last quarter of the football games on the jumbotron - he told himself one day he was going to work for that video board team   The family friend that taught Terrence how to edit videos also did freelance camera on the sidelines for the University of Iowa, and so when Terrence got older, he asked her who she used to work for, but she only remembered the person's first name Terrence made a resume right out of high school and started calling the athletics department of Iowa University asking for this person until he finally got connected with them - he wanted the opportunity to work for them as a student even though he was going to community college  They agreed Terrence would be hired on as a miscellaneous professional - they taught him how to use their special cameras and had him come in a few hours a week to edit and film the Iowa women's basketball team, which he did part-time while going to community college  Eventually, in 2012, Terrence started working at Drake University, where one of the things he oversaw was video production for athletics; in that position, he was looking for students to help with production, which gave them a lot of experience  Terrence says there is always an opportunity if you look for one to get experience  Content creation and editing were Terrence's specialty, but he says he was always big on visuals and led with visuals by using video or photography as a primary part of the layout for design How Terrence was able to easily navigate templates which helped him when he started doing more motion graphic design   In your professional space, Terrence says, there is a certain time where video production is key, there's a certain time with graphic design and layout is key, and then there's a time to integrate all those things    Understanding Your Business to Build a Team + Price Model How being a creative helped but only got Terrence so far; when he started doing more work, he didn't have time to do everything - to grow, he needed to hire people who were better than him in certain spaces  Terrence shares that he loves to work on teams that do well and lift each other up As an agency, they lead with video production; virtual productions, virtual events, live events, and filming other things with a narrative for storytelling  Secondarily, the agency does social media marketing campaigns, web development, and brand strategy    When Terrence first started, he was charging $500 for an early Wix website, $100 for graphic design because he had another job to rely on at the time, so he wasn't charging in a way that would let him grow his business  Terrence has an office downtown, they have clients locally, regionally, and a couple nationally - his pricing model is better but could be improved because he realized they were charging under 150% in some areas compared to their counterparts  Now, if they do a small virtual event, they are charging a minimum of $3,500 - Terrence shares that the price is similar for a smaller hybrid or in-person event    Video production rates for onsite productions can range anywhere from a half-day, around $1,400+ if it's a virtual production for a conference they are producing, it would be a minimum of $11,000 and could get up to $40,000 - $80,000 depending on all the elements going into it  For bigger projects, if some of the client elements reach beyond the agency's capacity, Terrence says they partner with people who can help bring something alive for a client  Terrence explains that they try to hover around $125 - $175 / hr, and if it's a long-term project, they do an assessment to determine what the pricing will be based on the number of hours estimated to go into the work   How the agency now has 7 - 8 full-time and part-time staff who are W-2 employees and 4 - 5 freelance that work for them regularly   A main theme for the agency Terrence says has been building out infrastructure, putting in standard operating procedures, and then doing the things that make them an actual viable business as opposed to ‘Terrence and the freelancers' - they offer benefits because people have needs and concerns  How you need to keep reassessing your business to make sure everything is working in all areas - you have to think about your growth and what you should start, stop and continue  There are a lot of creatives out there who don't think about what they need to do to become profitable, bring on investors or partners, or even sell their business - Terrence says you need to have an open mind and make sure you're handling your pricing model correctly  A lot is going on in the creative space right now, there are a lot more people exercising their entrepreneurial mindset, and while Terrence thinks it's important to be around other creatives, he says you need to make sure you understand the business side first  If you have an idea of how you want to grow your creative business, Terrence believes you have to go after what's in your heart - there's no one way to do anything; you can learn along the way Making sure your business is in order first is important because you don't want to be a struggling creative; you want to be flourishing and adding value to areas that you see you can solve a problem in as a creative Terrence encourages people to expand their minds about how the business works, ask a lot of questions and be unafraid to live in your purpose  Connect with Terrence on Instagram or LinkedIn Links mentioned:   Advanced Media Production Firm, LLC dba Cocoa Creative Agency   Connect with Terrence on Instagram    Connect with Terrence on LinkedIn   Like what you heard?  Click here to subscribe + leave a review on iTunes.

Important Links Website: http://www.yourplanningpros.com Call: 844-707-7381 ----more---- Transcript Of Today's Show: Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Welcome into this edition of Plan With the Tax Man. Thanks for hanging out with Tony Mauro and myself, as we talk investing finance and retirement. And on the show this week, March Madness. It's an annual tradition so we're going to talk a little bit about March Madness and the big tourney and see if we can find some financial lessons in some of these things we've got for you today. So, hang out with us and talk about this fun stuff with Tony and myself. Tony, what's going on my friend? How are you?   Tony Mauro: I am good. The spring is here. I'm ready for March Madness. I think maybe we just talk about who's going to win this thing and forget about all the other stuff.   Speaker 1: Well, we could do that too. So, I guess, are you a basketball fan? Do you like to fill out the brackets and so on and so forth?   Tony Mauro: Yeah, I'm a big basketball fan. I'll do the brackets just with my son.   Speaker 1: Sure yeah.   Tony Mauro: And my family. I'm not into it like some. So I do follow it and I enjoy it. We've got two teams in it from Iowa. One's a play-in game, which might be today or tomorrow, Drake.   Speaker 1: Yeah. We're taping this actually the day it kicks off officially, on the 18th. Yeah, so.   Tony Mauro: So yeah, it's always fun to watch and whatnot. My wife's got a little pool in her office so you pick out a bracket.   Speaker 1: Yep. I was going to say, offices. It's an annual thing we love to do. Obviously, last year was messed up like a lot of sports was. But so a lot of people look forward to it. There's office pools. Maybe you win a gift card or something like that, or lunch or something. Whatever the case is. Lot of people do things. Of course, you remember a couple of years ago, Warren Buffett actually offered a million dollars if you had a perfect bracket from beginning to end.   Tony Mauro: I remember that.   Speaker 1: But the odds of it are crazy. It's something like 900 million to one or something.   Tony Mauro: Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Speaker 1: It's pretty staggering. So I guess he felt pretty comfortable. And it's like, he's not hurting for the million bucks if it happened.   Tony Mauro: No, no, absolutely not.   Speaker 1: So anyway, let's talk about some analogies here I've got for you, Tony. Turn some of these things from March Madness into a financial lesson for us, if you will. Predicting outcomes, let's start there. And if you're like most people, you like to finish filling out your bracket, you feel pretty confident going into it. I've made some good picks. I watched some of the experts on ESPN. I really think I know what I'm talking about. And most of the time after the first weekend, your brackets' blown apart. Right?   Tony Mauro: That's it.   Speaker 1: So I don't know, experts? I mean, there's a lot of ways you could go with this. Sometimes you got to be careful of the experts or just be careful not to get too wrapped up maybe in thinking it's all going to go one certain way. Just be, I guess, maybe adaptable. Is that the lesson here?   Tony Mauro: I think that's the lesson. Whether it's retirement planning, educational planning, or just saving for the rainy day, obviously you got to try to predict the outcome because that's...   Speaker 1: To a degree sure.   Tony Mauro: Goal, and trying to shoot for it, but just like anything else in the planning world, there's job loss, there's bad markets, there's all kinds of things that tend to force us to change our plans. And we have to be able to adapt to that. Unfortunately in the brackets, once you pick your teams, that's it, you're done, but in life and with planning, you can adapt and you can make sure that if things start to go off the rails, so to speak, that you can pivot and do something else to at least hopefully get to that predicted outcome. Obviously in the brackets it's to win the things. You win your pool or whatever. In life, it's much more important of course, because you want to get to that end goal, whatever that may be. So.   Speaker 1: Right. I think that's a good way of looking at that. We got to be flexible to got to be adaptable. Things are going to happen and you can do your homework and you can get kind of a plan together, which obviously we talk about all the time. You want to plan with a tax man. You want to have that plan, but again, you want to just be a little flexible because life is going to happen. And so sometimes people, I think they go to see an advisor or a financial professional, Tony, and they think, "Okay, here's my collection of stuff, make me a plan." And then they kind of think, "Well, that's a set it and forget it." And that's just not the case.   Tony Mauro: That's definitely not the case. I mean, if you do that you could be okay. I think you have a better chance of being okay at the end, if you are actively monitoring and working on it and changing as your needs change and things around you that you can't control.   Speaker 1: Yeah. And of course, that's what you hired an adviser for, to help you with that. But it's still yours, right? I mean I've heard many advisors say I can't care about, or I shouldn't care more about your financial plan than you do. Meaning the person. It's their money. Right?   Tony Mauro: It's their money. I still have a lot of accounting clients that when they kind of mess up and say, "Well, I didn't get my stuff to you. I didn't do this. I didn't do that. You should have done that for me." Well, I care a lot about it, but I tell them that I can't care more than you do. I mean it's your business, it's your life.   Speaker 1: At least I shouldn't anyway. Right?   Tony Mauro: Yeah. I shouldn't. I mean, there's a problem if I got more worried than you. But definitely yes, that's the case.   Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Well, let's keep moving along here with some of my points I've got from March Madness and financial lessons. Upsets. Everybody loves a good upset, or maybe even a Cinderella story, right? Maybe a team that just, it wasn't expected to do very well. They come in, they knock off the number one seed, or they wind up making it all the way to the final four and nobody predicted it. Everybody kind of enjoys that kind of thing. It makes it more interesting and exciting. And I would imagine, well I don't have to imagine, I know there is. There's definitely upsets in the financial world or even some Cinderella stories, but you got to be a little careful too. I mean, again, that's the importance of maybe diversification so that if you have a Cinderella story, great, but if you have an upset, you're not hurting either.   Tony Mauro: That's exactly right as well, because a lot of people come to us and they want that Cinderella story. Just like in the brackets you want that team that isn't supposed to win, to win and go all the way. And same way in the financial planning world, you want to, a lot of people anyway, I guess, well, I want to pick that stock or that...   Speaker 1: You want to buy Amazon before it became Amazon.   Tony Mauro: Yeah, before it became anything. And you see things on Facebook and you see everybody talking about this or that, and you want to believe that that's going to be your Cinderella story. And you put $2,000 away or $5,000 away. In 20 years you're set, but...   Speaker 1: Right.   Tony Mauro: More than likely, that's not the case. Builds the case for, you need to diversify. You need to have more than one type of investment and you need to monitor them, of course. And I think too, everything has, just like the tournament, it's winners and losers.   Speaker 1: Sure.   Tony Mauro: What's good for some is bad for others.   Speaker 1: Fair point.   Tony Mauro: And they're talking a lot right now, at this time, about changing the tax laws again, raising taxes. That's going to benefit some people and it's definitely going to hurt others. And if it's the case that they want it's going to hurt higher income earners with people over 400,000 and it's going to help people with lower incomes. So there's always both sides of it.   Speaker 1: Yeah.   Tony Mauro: I think that in the investment world that needs to equate to you got to have diversification and you got to be ready to adapt and move around a little bit.   Speaker 1: I think it's a fair point. I think the fed, didn't they just say here recently telling at the time we're taping this, that they, I don't feel like they're going to move the needle on interest rates. They're going to probably hold that solid for a while. And so that has winners and losers based on that ramification too.   Speaker 1: So there's always some way to look at that.   Tony Mauro: Yes.   Speaker 1: Yes. I mean, there's definitely ways. There's always pros and cons and again, a good plan, a good balanced plan, a good strategy, really, if you're thinking about basketball, just a good coaching plan, right? You got the coaches doing strategizing, Tony, as they're making it through the different tournament rounds, if they're going from one round to the next, they're also having to adapt a little bit, because they're looking at game footage from the prior game, right? The teams are going to scalp them and so on and so forth.   Speaker 1: So I think a lot of what you guys do is kind of that same type of thing. You can have that good plan, you can have that good strategy, but we've got to regain plan from time to time as we move through. And that could be due to some of those upsets or one of those cases like that.   Speaker 1: How about the hometown thing? You mentioned that you guys got a couple of teams there locally in the tournament. If you want to look at it from this standpoint, everybody loves a good homer story as well, right? It's like, "Yeah my team made it in. They're not really good, but I'm going to pull for them and we're going to see how far we can ride this thing." And sometimes we do that with various products or industries or companies. When you think about financial stuff, Tony. Sometimes you're really loyal to a brand or maybe even the company you work for.   Tony Mauro: That's it. And going back to the tournament, of course we're here in Des Moines, Iowa, and of course, Iowa University's in the tournament. I think maybe number two or three seed. I think number two in their bracket. I watched them play all year and they're a good team. And so you want to pick your bracket with your heart and you have them going all the way and you look like a hero if...   Speaker 1: Right.   Tony Mauro: You happen to do it. But I don't know...   Speaker 1: Yeah, at the time we're taping this, I think Drake, which is there as well, right? They're playing,   Tony Mauro: They're playing the play-in gaming. And they're the Cinderella story because I mean, they were 25-4, but they're in the Missouri Valley and nobody expects much of them, but they let them in on the play-in game, because the record probably is convincing enough.   Speaker 1: Yeah. I think they're playing today at the time we're taping this on the 18th, I think around six or seven, something like that against Wichita, if I'm not mistaken, Wichita state. Yeah.   Tony Mauro: But reeling it back in the investment world.   Speaker 1: Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Tony Mauro: A lot of times people want to pick one fund or one stock or whatever, or one strategy and just say that this is all I want and they end up with two heavy awaiting and something or a strategy that doesn't work as things change in their life, which we just talked about.   Speaker 1: Right.   Tony Mauro: And now all of a sudden again, they're not going to meet their goals because of that. And so you still, again, it goes back to the case of you need to work on it. You need to, in my opinion, work with somebody to help you with that. So you're not just setting it and forgetting it and hoping for the best type of strategy, but it is something that I do see a lot of. And I they don't even pay attention to it.   Speaker 1: Yeah, you get too weighted in one category. Right? Is that what we're kind of talking about here? It's like having too much of one thing.   Tony Mauro: Yeah. Yeah. I mean that exactly. Just too much of one thing. They don't pay attention. We talk about it at Tax Time and they just, "Oh yeah, that sounds good." And they don't do anything about it. I mean, that's probably not the best route to go if you're really seriously talking about making it to your goal.   Speaker 1: True. Yeah. I mean you think about the company you work for, maybe it's a great company you're really into. They're giving you maybe some stock options or maybe you have the ability to buy. You're buying into it. But how much of your financial life is tied up in that one entity? And it's great to a degree. Right? But I guess with anything, Tony, even if it's your own company and a lot. the trajectory's looking good. I mean, do you really want to have more than a certain percentage of anything in any one investment just to be safe? Because if you could go back all the way to Enron, or you could talk to the folks from GE or there's a number of stories where you could say, "Hey, being a little too weighted in your own company, could spell some issues later on."   Tony Mauro: Yeah. I mean, it definitely does. I mean, even we have some larger companies here in town, mostly insurance companies, but Wells Fargo is a big player here, and of course they always reward, especially higher up employees, with stock options and whatnot. And some of these people end up with a lot of stock, like you said, in their own company. And as the company goes through goods and bad times, with Wells Fargo it's kind of like a dirty word around here. And I'm not knocking anybody that works there. We have a lot of tax clients, but they've kind of been through some issues and they've taken a few hits and ultimately that affects the stock. And then if you've got your entire retirement portfolio, let's say in one stock, boy, you hate to have some bad things come out, right when you need this money and then all of a sudden you don't have what you thought.   Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great point. So just be careful, again. So we're having this analogy here with March Madness. It's one thing to certainly want to root for the home team, if you will, but just like any investment, make sure that you don't have too much tied up into one thing. Five, 10% is usually kind of the idea for just about any one type of investment. And then let's talk about risky picks on this last bit here, Tony. You mentioned the home teams. Okay. So we'll kind of tie these two pieces together. Iowa is actually second. They're going into it ranked number two and they're playing their first game against a 15th ranked seed, Grand Canyon.   Tony Mauro: Yeah Grand Canyon.   Speaker 1: Yeah. So, okay. So, let's say you want to buck the trend, right? And you think, "Hey, Grand Canyon is going to upset Iowa, and I'm going to put some money on it" or whatever the case is. Right? So you're taking that riskier pick, if you will.   Tony Mauro: And I've done that before in my brackets, where you try to be funny and you pick all these low seeds.   Speaker 1: Right. To win the whole lane. Yeah.   Tony Mauro: Yeah. To win the whole thing and see how far they go just for the fun of it. And every once in a while, I mean, you go back to some of the center ELLs that made it all the way there. It's great. It's great for the game of basketball and whatnot, but in the financial planning world, when you're investing, I mean, again, you don't want to just all of a sudden go out and find some speculative newsletter, let's say, because they're all over the place and say, "Well, I'm going to do this." It looks like the potential returns are very large and you ignore the risks and that kind of thing. And next thing you know, again, you've got all the eggs in one basket and that didn't really work out or you didn't pay attention enough to get in and out when you needed to. And again, that's a recipe for a definite disaster.   Speaker 1: Well there's taken some chances, right, Tony, but then there's also taken chances with your retirement money that, honestly, if you're being truthful to yourself, you just can't really afford to take, right?   Tony Mauro: No, no, you definitely can't. I mean, especially with retirement money and whatnot, you've got to have a good diversified strategy and manage that strategy. If you want to say use the basketball analogy, pick some number 15 seeds and you just want to kind of quote, play around.   Speaker 1: Sure.   Tony Mauro: Nothing wrong with that but I don't think that should be part of your overall, serious investment strategy by any means.   Speaker 1: Yeah. It's just like going to Vegas, right?   Tony Mauro: Yeah.   Speaker 1: There was a...   Tony Mauro: You might as well do that.   Speaker 1: Quote from, what was that gentleman's name? An economist. Paul Samuelson, I believe, yeah. He said investing should be like watching paint dry or maybe grass grow. It's not very interesting but it's nice and stable and steady. If you want excitement, take your money and go to Vegas. I'm paraphrasing, but...   Tony Mauro: Right, right. But you might as well do that and throw it on black or red or do whatever.   Speaker 1: Let it rip. Right. Exactly. Yep.   Tony Mauro: But I don't know for whatever reason, I think it's the creation and the popularity of the very, very low priced discount brokerages that have popped up all over and made it so. And the availability of information where we didn't have that 10, 15, 20 years ago at our fingertips that kind of feed some of that. And I've seen a lot of tax clients this year, thus far, bringing in investment statements from Robin Hood.   Speaker 1: Okay.   Tony Mauro: And that's a whole different conversation. But they kind of get on these kicks and they start playing around. And if that's what they're doing, and that's all they're doing, that's fine. But when you start seeing serious large, when we're doing a tax return, I don't want to say gains and losses, but proceeds, in other words, they're selling and buying large amounts. And then when you look at the gain loss and it's usually a loss or a very, very small gain, it's like, well, what are you really accomplishing here? You're having fun and just trying to hit something big or is this part of your overall strategy?   Speaker 1: That's a great point. And obviously what we've seen lately with Robin Hood and the game stop situation. We did that podcast and had the conversation about that. We get wrapped up in, I guess, the trend or the hot thing or the whatever, right? And that comes back to maybe bite us in the tush a little bit. So at the end of the day, folks, it comes down to having a good plan in place for you. Now we can simply sit here and talk about the March Madness thing and have a good time with the analogy and so on and so forth. But as I mentioned with the coaching, at the end of the day, Tony, it doesn't matter. If you put together a great plan and then your players don't execute it, right? It didn't really make much of a difference, same thing with the game.   Tony Mauro: Yep. For me, in basketball you got to have a great plan. You got to have players that can execute it. But at the end of the day, at least in basketball, if the ball doesn't go in the hoop you're going to probably lose, but you've got to have that plan. You can't just go out, otherwise you're basically playing pickup basketball.   Speaker 1: True. Yeah.   Tony Mauro: You don't want to pin your hopes on that kind of thing. But I agree with that. You got to have a plan.   Speaker 1: Yep. And while the stakes are high in the March Madness, they may be not quite as high as it is for somebody going into retirement. So get a plan in place if you don't or get working with somebody who can help you tweak the plan you've got to make some adjustments if you need to. Get that good coaching strategy going on, because life will throw us curve balls. Life will change things up a little bit. And so you want to make sure you've got a plan in place. And if you need some help, Tony's around. All you got to do is reach out to him. They are certainly very busy this time of the year, but you can still have your questions answered.

In this episode, I'm speaking with Dr. Susanna Harris about science, depression, and founding something great. We discuss: •Her journey towards science and why she ended up choosing a PhD in microbiology. •The research that she conducted throughout her tenure as a PhD student and how it has the potential to positively impact society when it comes to feeding our growing population. •Her mental health adversities in graduate school and how she struggled to find the support that she needed during this time from her department. •The origin story for her mental health support platform PhD Balance built for and moderated by graduate students. •How she found herself as an accidental entrepreneur. •The parallels between conducting research and entrepreneurialism. •As a recent graduate, what her plans are moving forward. •And other topics. Dr. Susanna Harris is a passionate microbiologist, entrepreneur, and science communicator. She graduated with a Bachelor's degree in microbiology from Iowa University and she just graduated this past spring with her PhD in microbiology from the University of North Carolina.

It was great sitting down and chatting with Seth Gross and hearing his (redemption) story from his perspective. Seth Gross was one of the nation's best wrestlers at 133 lbs, attending Iowa University. A night of unprecedented partying got him kicked out and led him wondering if he'd ever have any success again. The story of redemption that follows is incredible! Wanna support the podcast?

Last year about this time, we did an episode on colleges with late application deadlines.  We would like to do that again today, realizing that some colleges have changed their deadlines, of course, since our episode last January.  It is amazing to me--still--that so many colleges have deadlines well past early January, even as we seem to focus our high school seniors every year on meeting a January 1 deadline for their college applications.  Apart from those colleges that have mid-January or late January deadlines, there are many colleges still accepting applications for next fall’s freshman class.  So, let’s take a look.  1. Watch Out! As I recently watched kids getting rejections or deferments from Early Decision and Early Action applications gone awry, I wondered whether they might want to take a second look at their college list and see how happy they were with it now, given their new information.  For kids who had pinned their hopes to an Early Decision choice or to a couple of Early Action choices, even if those Early Action choices were just safety schools, a chance to take one last look at the college landscape might be just what they need.  It doesn’t mean that they will choose to apply to another college or two or three, but it might be that this last look serves as a pressure-release valve while they begin the long wait till March or April.   Let us say that there are still a lot of good colleges accepting applications.  Many of those deadlines are this month in February, but some are in March, April, May, and even beyond that.  I used The College Board’s website, Big Future, to look at a full list.  However, I found mistakes or, at least, miscommunications.  So, please double check the deadlines of any colleges that appear on any such list--The College Board’s list or any other compiled list--by going to the college’s own website, as The College Board itself advises. Here are a few things worth noting, though I’m afraid that these points are going to be much more useful for parents with younger high school students still at home.  Let me start with the opposite of today’s topic of colleges with late application deadlines, and that is colleges with super-early application deadlines.  As I was doing the research for today’s episode, I stumbled across a number of good colleges with regular decision application deadlines well before January 1, such as December 1 for the Colorado School of Mines (see our virtual nationwide tour some episodes back for information about this excellent school known for its engineering and sciences).  So, pay attention, parents of younger high school students, before the fall of your kid’s senior year. And, speaking of super-early application deadlines, sometimes the date given for the application deadline is actually a whole year before the year you want to enroll.  The Big Future website, under “Colleges with Later Application Deadlines,” lists the application deadline for Iowa State University, an excellent public university, as July 1.  But here is what Iowa State actually says this on its website (emphasis added): Iowa State University operates on a rolling admissions basis. Admission of applicants for fall semester begins in July of the preceding year. Admission for other terms begins approximately 12 months prior to the beginning of the term. Admission offers are issued for a specific term and are valid only for the term specified. (quoted from the website) Here is something else to pay attention to when looking at compiled lists of colleges with later application dates:  Sometimes the date given for the application deadline is actually for transfer students.  Or for graduate students.  For example, The Big Future website, under “Colleges with Later Application Deadlines,” lists the application deadline for Alfred University (a good private university in upstate New York, with publicly sponsored engineering and art and design programs) as August 1.  Actually, Alfred’s regular decision deadline is February 1 for new freshmen, July 1 for transfer students, and August 1 for graduate students. And here is something even more distressing.  What comes up first on a Google search for Rollins College application deadlines is this: Deadlines. Fall Semester Admission The application deadline for fall semester applicants is March 1 for Priority Consideration and April 15 for Regular Decision. Application Instructions | Full-Time Undergraduate ... - Rollins College www.rollins.edu/admission/requirements-deadlines/index.html But, that information is taken from the transfer student portion of the admissions information—not that a reader can tell that.  The deadline for first-year applicants was February 1, so you would have missed it!  And sometimes that information that comes up first is from U.S. News &World Report, and it is sometimes wrong as well. Here is another thing to remember:  Sometimes different programs or schools within a university can have different application deadlines.  Or one school or program can have two application deadlines, such as a performing arts school within a university that has one deadline for the regular application and a second deadline for the audition. And one last note of caution:  Sometimes the deadline for scholarship consideration is earlier than the actual application deadline. For example, at Kent State University, January 15 is the deadline to be considered for freshman scholarships, though March 1 is the deadline to submit applications for the following fall.  So, if financing is an issue for you--as it very often is--then apply as early as you can (this is especially important information for those of you with younger high school students at home).  Just to underline that, here is some important information from the website for the University of Arkansas (emphasis added):  Students interested in applying to the University of Arkansas for the fall semester are urged to apply before the early admission deadline of November 1.  By applying early, students can take advantage of priority scholarship, housing, and orientation privileges. However, applications for the fall semester will be accepted until August 1. (quoted from the website) So, the moral of the story is, pay attention and trust no list or outside organization.  Go to the college’s own website only, and read the information on that website carefully.  Let me add, that--oddly enough and for whatever reason--it is not always a snap to find the application deadline information on a college website, though I can’t imagine why. Finally, we are going to say again, apply as early as you can--regardless of where you are applying--especially because of the number of colleges that say they have rolling admissions. 2. Colleges with Late Deadlines We want to say again this year that there is no perfect way to generalize about the colleges with later deadlines, though I have noticed--again--that quite a few of them are the branch campuses of large public universities (e.g., University of Massachusetts Lowell, University of North Carolina at Asheville, University of Texas at El Paso, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, University of Tennessee: Chattanooga, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, University of Alaska Anchorage, University of Massachusetts Boston). Other than those, you can find great public flagship universities, small liberal arts colleges, larger liberal arts universities, faith-based colleges, HBCUs (historically black colleges and universities), single-sex colleges, specialized colleges (e.g., fine arts, maritime) --really, just about anything.  They are large and small.  They are urban, suburban, small town, and rural.  They include some selective colleges and, perhaps not surprisingly, many not-so-selective colleges.  They include colleges in the North, South, East, and West (including in our 49th and 50th states).  The truth is that your kid could find a reasonable college choice from this list of late-deadline colleges if you all started the college search today. As we did last year, let me read you a tiny sample of colleges with late application deadlines to peak your interest.  Here are just some of the colleges your kid could apply to by February 15 (and really that should be plenty of time to pull off some of these applications, if you all are interested): College of Charleston College of Wooster Earlham College Howard University Pace University University of Kentucky And what about March 1?  You really have no excuse not to apply to one of these, if you are interested:  Hampden-Sydney College Hampton University Maine Maritime Academy Manhattanville College Randolph-Macon College University of Dallas University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa And I really can’t resist telling you a few of the colleges with an April 1 deadline (which seems truly far away):  School of the Art Institute of Chicago SUNY College at New Paltz University of Houston University of Iowa University of Kansas University of Oklahoma University of Utah And even May 1 deadlines (yes, really): Clemson University (technically, but if all the class spaces have been filled by kids who applied before December 1, then you won’t be going to Clemson) Tuskegee University University of Arizona University of Central Florida University of New Mexico (though it was February 1 to be considered for out-of-state scholarships) Okay, you get the point.  And some colleges have even later application deadlines than that.  In fact, one of our favorite colleges here at USACollegeChat has a July 1 deadline:  Richmond, The American International University in London.  If your kid is not captivated with what’s ended up on his or her list or where he or she finally gets in, think again and consider how much happier he or she might be in London at a truly one-of-a-kind university! So, parents of high school seniors, if either you or your high school senior is truly questioning the choices you all have now, it’s not too late.  Again, the options that we have just read are a small sample of colleges still accepting applications (though I think I have probably read you a lot of the academically better options). If you and your high school senior are intrigued, take an hour or two now and have a last look at your kid’s list.  It might not make any difference in the final analysis, but you will both know that you left no stone unturned.  As always, call us, if you could use some free advice!

Today, we have figured out a way to talk both about our new book--How To Explore Your College Options: A Workbook for High School Students--and to make good on the title of our current series, Colleges in the Spotlight. As we were writing the book, we realized that we could use a lot of college examples, drawn from our earlier podcast episodes, to illuminate the points we were trying to make. I thought it would be interesting to see just how many colleges were mentioned in the book--and by “mentioned,” I mean that they were used to illustrate the answers to some of the 52 questions that teenagers are asked to find the answers to for each college on their Long List of College Options (LLCO). In a way, these colleges are in our spotlight for things that they are doing right or for characteristics they have that are noteworthy. To find out why we mentioned each college, you are going to have to get the book!  1. Colleges in the Spotlight So, here we go. Here are the colleges that we thought were worth mentioning--for some reason or other (they are listed roughly in the order in which they are mentioned in the book, and I might have missed a few): Fordham University (joint program with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater) Richmond, The American International University in London University of Colorado Boulder The University of Rhode Island Tuskegee University University of Iowa University of Vermont University of Delaware University of Wyoming City University of New York (and its Hunter College campus) College of William & Mary University of Pennsylvania Fisk University Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey Penn State University of California campuses California State University campuses Cornell University Soka University of America The University of New Mexico Columbia University Brown University Harvard University Barnard College Morehouse College Spelman College Hampden-Sydney College Wabash College Kenyon College Kent State University New York University Carleton College University of Minnesota Milwaukee School of Engineering University of Alaska Fairbanks University of Washington University of New Hampshire Georgia State University Amherst College Vassar College Reed College Hamilton College Colorado College Rice University Duke University California Institute of Technology St. John’s College Massachusetts Institute of Technology University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa The Evergreen State College Pitzer College (one of the five undergraduate colleges of The Claremont Colleges) Centre College Goucher College Hampshire College Bennington College Sterling College Drexel University Northeastern University St. Michael’s College University of Rochester University of Massachusetts Boston That’s more than 60 colleges, which is actually quite a few. Of course, you can always refer back to the virtual college tour we did in Episodes 27 through 53 for a discussion of even more colleges, organized by geographic region of the U.S. But the new book doesn’t stop with those 60-plus. We also name some great college towns--“great,” according to one of the lists of great college towns that publications love to compile. Do you know what colleges are located in these towns? College Station, TX Charlottesville, VA Saratoga Springs, NY Asheville, NC Flagstaff, AZ Boulder, CO Santa Cruz, CA St. Augustine, FL Burlington, VT Annapolis, MD Ann Arbor, MI Athens, GA Oxford, MS Iowa City, IA 2. Now, It’s Up to You Now, it’s up to you. At least, that is what we say at the end of the book. We wrote this to each student, assuming that he or she had done the assignments as they were presented:  You have done a lot of work to gather information about the colleges on your LLCO. You have completed a College Profile Worksheet on quite a few colleges by now. You have learned more than many high school students know about a variety of specific colleges and about higher education generally.  So, it’s time to start comparing and contrasting the colleges you have researched. That will be a long process, which will require analysis and evaluation by you and your parents and perhaps other important family members. And it’s okay that it is a long process because this is a big decision for all of you.  Remember that choosing which colleges to apply to can be every bit as important as choosing which college to attend. In an ideal world, you should be happy with every college you apply to because that will take the pressure off as you wait for acceptances to come in.  Of course, you might be more excited about some choices than others, but don’t apply to any college that you would not want to attend. That is a waste of your time and money. We are confident that there is a college that you can be admitted to that will make you happy. Even safety schools don’t have to be disappointing choices. If they are for you now, you just haven’t looked hard enough yet! Get busy.  We mean that last point really sincerely: If your teenager’s safety schools are disappointing choices for him or her, you all just haven’t looked hard enough yet. There are great colleges--especially some public flagship universities and some large private universities--that are very likely to admit good students, especially those who come from other states. Having a safety school that your teenager does not want to go to is really not having any safety school at all. We mean it when we say, “Look harder.” We hope that our new book will help your teenager look harder, think harder, and work harder to expand his or her LLCO, to get exciting colleges onto that LLCO, to learn as much as possible about each one of them (by completing a College Profile Worksheet for each one), and to feel satisfied when all of the applications are submitted--that is, satisfied that all of the colleges he or she applied to are good choices, just for different reasons. And a satisfied teenager is likely to produce a satisfied parent. Or at least it should. Find our books on Amazon!

November 15, 2016 • Dr. Colleen McCluskey, Associate Professor of Philosophy (Ph.D., Iowa University) at Saint Louis University. Does human creativity complete a world that God left unfinished? Or do our activities of making, building, and inventing mar the goodness of creation? Thomas Aquinas helps answer these questions by reflecting on Divine creativity and its image in the human being.

Marvin Bergman discusses his work as Editor the Annals of Iowa, the State Historical Society of Iowa’s quarterly, scholarly history journal. Since 1987, Dr. Bergman has worked to make the best interpretive work on Iowa history accessible to the public by contributing his knowledge and talent to several other publications including the Iowa History Reader (University of Iowa Press edition, 2008), co-editing Unionizing the Jungles: Labor and Community in the Twentieth-Century Meatpacking Industry (University of Iowa Press, 1997)with Shelton Stromquist. and co editing The Biographical Dictionary of Iowa (University of Iowa Press, 2008)with David Hudson and Loren Horton.
