Jae offeres an embarrasing omission, and Melissa and Kelly debate which view is better: The empire state building or the top of the rock.  Next, a viewer asks: what we would do if we only had one day in New York. Kelly and Jae both talk about central park of course, but Melissa talks about all of her favorite winter activities if she were to visit during that time of year.  Another viewer asks: what are some unconventional places tourists might not visit. Melissa talks about her favoirte village to walk around in, Jae talks about a neighborhood that you can't get to by train, and Kelly talks about an island that he refuses to take the tram to.   Kelly then asks the group: What are three places that they think tourists should visit. Jae talks about some of his favoirte spots in Brooklyn, Melissa talks about her favorite spots in Manhattan, and Kelly tries to remember the name of a new neighborhood he's been exploring, but Jae helps him figure it out.

In this episode, we sit down with Mark Maingaard, CEO and spokesperson for Outside the Bowl (OTB) Africa, as they celebrate 10 years of fighting child hunger across Africa.From his humble beginnings in Lansdowne and navigating life at Rondebosch Boys' High, to serving as a chef in the SA Navy, Mark shares his incredible personal journey and the 2009 divine calling that redirected his life toward feeding vulnerable children.We dive deep into the origins of OTB Africa, from its roots in Paarl alongside founders Jae and Debra Evans, to building a sustainable model through Kingdom Foods and Handcrafted Foods. Discover how OTB Africa ensures that 100% of public donations go directly into food production, keeping operational overheads completely separate.Mark doesn't hold back on the brutal realities facing Mzansi's youth today: the heartbreaking definitions of "stunting" and "wasted" in Early Childhood Development (ECD), and the troubling reality that South Africa spends significantly less on feeding a child than on maintaining a prisoner.Plus, we talk team culture, a legendary world-record attempt featuring 30 giant pots of potjiekos, the great generational debate over afval (tripe & trotters).

This episode features Jae Taft, founder of Vision Basketball Academy in Denver, Colorado, and a player development coach who trains young female athletes with a faith-based mentorship approach. Jae opens up about her college playing career — a promising freshman start at an NAIA program derailed by illness and lost playing time, followed by a transfer to a Division II school that only deepened a cycle of trying to "prove herself." That pressure eventually led her to step away from the game entirely. When COVID hit, a conversation with her father sparked the idea to launch an online training business; she started with a single client over FaceTime and has since grown that into a full gym and a growing online presence.The conversation covers a lot of ground: how Jae rebuilt her identity outside of basketball performance; why the coaching pivot felt like a less natural path for her as a woman than it often does for men; and her core training philosophy of "teaching skills, not drills," built around live, representative play rather than isolated reps. She and Tyler dig deep into gender differences in coaching — the concept of giving young female athletes "permission" to play freely and make mistakes, what it takes for a man to coach women and girls well, and how creating a genuinely safe environment gets the best out of any athlete. She closes by sharing the real, unfiltered challenges of entrepreneurship — imposter syndrome, comparison, and financial risk — along with concrete advice for anyone looking to open their own training facility.Timestamps15:46 — Intro and guest background 16:57 — Jae's NAIA-to-D2 transfer story begins 17:47 — Freshman year: promised the point guard job, then got sick 19:19 — Transfer to D2; the pressure to prove herself continues 20:19 — Stepping away from basketball during COVID 21:19 — Her dad's idea: launching an online training business 22:28 — Landing her first client 22:58 — Where the "need to prove myself" mindset came from 26:48 — Finding identity beyond basketball performance 28:49 — Why coaching is a less natural pivot for women than men 31:04 — Faith, family, and stepping into the calling 35:05 — From one online client to owning a gym in Denver 35:58 — Coaching influences: "teach skills, not drills" 37:12 — Game development training vs. drill mastery 39:20 — Why representation matters more than isolated reps 40:58 — Gender differences in coaching: freedom vs. robotic compliance 45:30 — Where the need for "permission" comes from 48:02 — Girls get coached too much, and rarely get free play 50:55 — Should men coach women and girls? 53:28 — Understanding emotional differences in coaching young women 55:16 — Giving players permission to make mistakes 57:15 — The core principle: be a good person, care about the athlete 59:36 — Transitioning to the entrepreneurship conversation 1:00:17 — Imposter syndrome as a gym owner 1:01:20 — Dealing with comparison to other trainers 1:02:39 — The financial risk of going independent 1:04:13 — Trusting the calling through "valley seasons" 1:07:25 — Actionable advice for opening a gym 1:10:39 — Where to find Jae and closing thoughtsResources & LinksFree Resources: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/resources BAM Coaches Platform: https://platform.byanymeanscoaches.com/#/platform Books: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprint-bookIf you enjoyed this conversation with Jae Taft, check out these episodes next:Gabe Macias (@gametimeelitetraining) talks skills training, building a clientele, finding a gym, creating a culture and more https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/10554225-gabe-macias-gametimeelitetraining-talks-skills-training-building-a-clientele-finding-a-gym-creating-a-culture-and-moreBJU MBB Tony Miller on Culture, Analytics, Player-Led Basketball and Shot Selection https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/19459642-bju-mbb-tony-miller-on-culture-analytics-player-led-basketball-and-shot-selectionG-League Coach of the Year, Vitor Galvani, on Why Player Development Isn't Linear, G-League Practices, Being Where Your Feet Are and Much More https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/19047395-g-league-coach-of-the-year-vitor-galvani-on-why-player-development-isn-t-linear-g-league-practices-being-where-your-feet-are-and-much-more

How do we bridge the gap between architectural plans and what actually gets built on site?In this episode of the TALKdesign Podcast, Adrian Ramsay sits down with Jae Warrander, co-founder and architectural director of the award-winning Wellington practice Makers. Together, they explore what happens when spatial design and physical construction come together under one roof, diving into how integrated design-build workflows eliminate building surprises, protect budgets, and elevate spatial quality.Adrian and Jae unpack how early contractor involvement paired with immersive virtual reality transforms the client experience. While traditional 2D floorplans are easily misinterpreted, stepping into a digital 3D model in VR allows every detail—from window sightlines to complex roof junctions—to be tested, understood, and perfected before anything is manufactured off site. Combined with cross-laminated timber (CLT), CNC precision, and off-site manufacturing, this approach allows bespoke, high-performance homes to go together smoothly, even on challenging, wind-swept sites.They also explore the story behind the Ata Rangi tasting room in Martinborough—a project that earned a prestigious New Zealand Architecture Award on the firm's ten-year anniversary. Remarkably sparked by a local council notice requiring compliant public toilets, the project expanded into an expressive, site-responsive design crafted using macrocarpa timber milled directly from the property's aging shelter trees.It is an inspiring discussion on material choice, environmental sensitivity, and the magic that occurs when creative vision meets practical making.What We Cover in This Episode:• Closing the Design-Build Gap: How combining design and construction under one roof eliminates miscommunication and paper architecture.• The Power of VR Visualisation: Why clients misread 2D plans and how stepping inside a digital model solves problems before breaking ground.• Mass Timber & Off-Site Manufacturing: How cross-laminated timber (CLT) and CNC precision streamline builds on complex sites.• Award-Winning Architecture: The story behind the Ata Rangi winery tasting room and how a council notice for toilets led to a national architecture award.• Site-Responsive Materials: Reclaiming local shelter-belt timber and using natural lime-wash plasters to create healthy, calm, and grounded spaces.⏯️ Episode Timestamps03:45 – Jae's journey: Lego, joinery, and discovering architecture through problem-solving.07:50 – Solat Decathlon, First Light House, and the shift toward mass timber (CLT).15:10 – Designing in Virtual Reality: Bridging the gap for clients and builders alike.22:00 – Early Contractor Involvement and solving site constraints before fabrication.28:30 – Drone site analysis for view angles and light orientation.32:30 – Deep Dive: The award-winning Ata Rangi Tasting Room in Martinborough.39:30 – Upcycling site history: Milling on-site Macrocarpa weatherbelt trees into finished architecture.51:30 – The emotional quality of a space: Designing for connection and ease.58:00 – Materiality, healthy buildings, and the future of wellness in interior design.1:01:40 – Jae's dream final project and his quickfire question for architectural photographer Simon Devitt.Connect with Us & Explore More:

Could the strange phenomena capturing the world's attention be hiding a much deeper spiritual reality? Tony Merkel sits down with Jae Woodward of WoodwardTV for a fascinating conversation that challenges the conventional explanations surrounding the unexplained. Jae explains why he believes the coming “age of disclosure” could actually become an age of deception, and why some encounters may not be what they appear to be. As the conversation unfolds, Jae connects modern reports with ancient spiritual ideas and explores why deception and perception could be central to understanding the phenomenon. Tony and Jae go deep into a perspective on the unexplained that may completely change how you look at what's happening around us.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

In this episode, Laura talks with Becky Russell about her daughter, Jae, who died in a car accident at sixteen. Becky shares how her deep spiritual foundation was shaken by the confusion and questions that followed, leaving her to wrestle with beliefs she once thought were unshakable. Laura and Becky begin exploring four parts of our worldview that influence how we process grief: origin, morality, meaning, and destiny. In this first half of their conversation, they focus on origin and morality, discussing what we believe about where life comes from, how we determine truth, and what happens when child loss brings spiritual mayhem into everything we thought we knew. If your child's death has left you confused about God or questioning beliefs you once felt certain about, this honest conversation is one you will want to hear.

The New Yorkers are on Summer Vacation this week. So join them as they look back on a previous episode while they look forward to the Halloween season!  **************************************** In this episode, Kelly is joined by Zombie Papas Jorge and Todd, the organizers of Thriller NYC!  Join them as they introduce themselves. Jorge tells us how he came to New York, and what it was like moving here. Todd, on the other hand, talks about being third-generation from Brooklyn. They tell us about how they met, as well as their costume wedding. They talk about how they found Thriller NYC and how long they've been involved with it.  Jorge talks about the founding of Thriller in the West Village Halloween parade. He talks about the first time it was done and what it was like when it first started. He talks about how he initially joined another Thriller group because Thriller NYC was full. Todd talks about how Jorge invited him to join Thriller one year, but not in the way that he had wanted to.  Kelly asks about the process of putting together something so massive. Todd talks about the process of how people get tickets and join the group. He goes over what the rehearsals look like as well as what the timetable is like to put on something like that. They both talk about what people are getting out of their ticket. They talk about how it is important for them to form a safe community, and they emphasise moving your body in community, and the healing power that it can have. Jorge and Todd thank Kelly for his viral video of the performance, and they talk about how that helped them get put back on the map and continue post Covid. They also talk about what it feels like to put together this massive project every year, and the cultural impact that it has on the world. They talk about their trip to South Africa and how Thriller even has an impact there.  Finally, Kelly asks them some quick fire questions about the dance, the Halloween parade, the costumes, and where to eat after.  But, above all else; Jorge and Todd are New Yorkers.  Kelly's Social Media @NewYorkCityKopp Join Thriller NYC! https://www.thrillernyc.com/ @Thrillernyc Donate to the village Halloween parade! https://halloween-nyc.com/donate/  Jae's Social Media @Studiojae170 Chapters (00:00:00) - New Yorkers Podcast(00:01:57) - This New York Couple Had A 'Thriller' Wedding(00:05:18) - The Halloween Parade With Thriller(00:05:49) - The Thriller Dance in the NYC Parade(00:09:08) - How To Participate in the Parade Thriller Dance(00:11:52) - The West Village Thriller Parade(00:14:27) - The Memphis Thriller Parade(00:18:47) - The New York Thriller Dance(00:23:18) - Mets Mascots at the Parade(00:25:32) - The Cast of Thriller(00:28:33) - Thriller's Spring Parade(00:30:55) - What Makes The Thriller Dance So New York?(00:34:12) - Dancing To Michael Jackson's Thriller in Mozambique(00:36:21) - The New York City Zombie Parade(00:38:14) - How the Village Halloween Parade Works(00:41:02) - Thriller's NYC Parade(00:41:29) - Village Halloween Parade(00:43:12) - The Halloween Parade in New York(00:43:59) - What It Means to Be A New Yorker(00:46:02) - New Yorkers: Thank You!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the complex systems surrounding your child's mental and behavioral health? In this episode, we dive deep into how families can bridge the gap between schools, medical providers, and home life to ensure every child thrives. Join us for a powerful conversation about advocacy, collaboration, and the importance of meeting children where they are.In this episode, host Jae sits down with Dr. Katrina Ostmeyer, PhD, the founder of Beyond the Individual and a professor at the University of Kansas. Katrina shares her unique journey from academia to clinical practice, sparked by her own experiences as a parent of children who do not always fit the traditional mold. We explore the common frustrations of siloed systems where schools, insurance companies, and parents often find themselves at odds rather than working together.Katrina explains why true collaboration is the secret ingredient to progress and how her clinic provides a continuum of care that empowers families rather than creating long-term dependency. We also discuss the vital role of parental self-regulation, exploring why parenting is often more about managing our own emotions than controlling our children. Whether you are navigating an IEP, seeking behavioral support, or looking for ways to better regulate your household, this episode offers practical wisdom and encouragement.Chapters0:00 Intro and Welcome2:15 Katrina's Journey to Psychology and Practice5:30 Filling Service Gaps in Mental Health8:45 The Problem with Siloed Systems12:00 Collaboration Over Blame in Child Success15:15 Parenting and Self-Regulation18:30 Focus on Guidance and Autonomy21:45 The Beyond the Individual Service Model25:00 Moving Toward Independence in Therapy28:30 Working with Schools and IEP Teams31:15 Telehealth and Reaching Families Everywhere34:00 Final Takeaways and Self-Care35:51 End of VideoIf you found this conversation helpful, please like this video and subscribe to our channel for more insights on supporting your children.

Over the past 15+ years, Jae Henderson has built products alongside food chemists, cowboys, software developers, designers, and politicians — a career path that's taken him from Capitol Hill to Sweden to a Nevada distillery. He calls it magic: people of different expertise and different starting points, all arriving somewhere together. He's the person people call when they have an idea and no clue how to bring it to life — because ideas are a dime a dozen; it's all in the execution. He was a founding product leader at the Bloomberg Philanthropies–funded Black Wealth Data Center and helped launch three award-winning spirits brands as a member of the founding team at Bently Heritage Estate Distillery.  Today he's the Co-Founder & CEO of DC Urban Oasis. This hospitality studio uses food, drink, and storytelling to deepen human connection and expand ownership and agency for Culinary Creators. It's a natural extension of something he learned growing up in South Central Los Angeles, watching his great-grandmother turn her house into a gathering place for anyone who walked through the door: that community doesn't just happen, someone has to build it. Jae worked on Capitol Hill for the late Congressman John Lewis and later spent time reimagining inclusive tourism with urban planners in Sweden. A former college rugby player, he now lives in Washington, DC, with his wife and their dog, Cleopatra. He believes the most powerful technology is the kind that brings people together, builds wealth, and leaves the world with a little more magic.

Apparently, women have been shaving their toes in silence…and TRID has only just discovered it.What begins with Lauren admitting that body hair has been one of her deepest insecurities becomes a hilarious and unexpectedly honest conversation about PCOS, beauty standards, aging, motherhood, social media, friendships, and the pressure to look effortlessly “put together.”Sheena, TRID, Lauren, and Jae unpack why we should never minimize someone else's insecurity, how confidence changes as we get older, and the clearest difference between real confidence and arrogance: how you respond to feedback.It's chaotic, vulnerable, surprisingly wholesome, and a reminder that everyone has something, even when you'd never guess it from the outside.

Are you a former teacher considering homeschooling, or perhaps a parent struggling to make math fun for your kids? In this episode of the Homeschool Yo Kids podcast, Jae sits down with mother-daughter duo Mary and Bobbie to explore the unique journey of transitioning from the classroom to the kitchen table. Learn how to navigate different learning styles and build a foundation for academic success that fits your family's unique lifestyle.

One year ago, Mama Joyce was facing an above-knee amputation after peripheral artery disease had progressed to its most advanced stage, chronic limb-threatening ischemia, or CLTI. Her daughter, Jae, called the Global PAD Association's Leg Saver Hotline looking for one more chance. We helped facilitate Mama Joyce's transfer to an advanced multidisciplinary limb salvage team with the experience, tools, and techniques needed to take another look. Today, Mama Joyce is not only standing on that leg. She is walk, walk, walking! Now, her extraordinary journey has been documented in a peer-reviewed case report published in Vascular Disease Management by HMP Global. I am deeply honored to be a co-author alongside Dr. David Allie, Dr. Kerry Thibodeaux, and Dr. Amit Amin. Dr. John Phillips and I welcome Mama Joyce andher daughter Jae back to The Heart of Innovation one year after we first shared their story. We talk about the fight to get another set of eyes on her case, the imaging and advanced revascularization that helped restore blood flow, the multidisciplinary wound care that followed, and the determination of a patient and daughter who refused to give up hope. We also discuss why this publication matters. This is the first peer-reviewed case report we have co-authored documenting the role patient advocacy can play in helping someone facing amputation reach an experienced limb salvage team. Mama Joyce's outcome cannot be promised for every patient. But her story is a powerful reminder of why patients should understand their diagnosis, ask whether all appropriate imaging and treatment options have been explored, and seek an urgent second opinion from an experienced limb salvage specialist when time and their medical condition allow.

Are you ready to redefine what education and wellness look like for your family? Join host Jae on the Homeschool Your Kids podcast as she sits down with Marilyn Moore, also known as Marilyn the Chef, for an unfiltered conversation about the power of homeschooling and ancestral healing. This episode dives deep into why standard school systems often fail our children and how you can reclaim your family's sovereignty through democratic education and holistic self-care.Marilyn shares her transformative journey from navigating infertility to raising four daughters in a home-centered environment. She provides a sharp critique of the institutional buildings we call schools, explaining how these environments can impact the nervous system and suppress a child's authentic self. The discussion covers everything from the importance of home birthing and environmental justice in the Bronx to the necessity of teaching children how to question authority and understand their own biology.Beyond education, Marilyn opens up about her work as a healer, her personal experiences with grief after losing her father, and her unique approach to self-care. You will learn about the benefits of herbal medicine like fire cider, the importance of masculine energy in a female-led household, and why the concept of resilience is often misused in marginalized communities. Whether you are a veteran homeschooler or just starting to consider alternatives, Marilyn's wisdom offers a roadmap for living a life of gold rather than just chasing diamonds.Chapters0:00 Intro and meeting Marilyn the Chef3:15 The decision to homeschool and home birth7:40 Environmental justice and growing up in the Bronx12:10 The reality of hospital births vs home births16:35 Why the traditional school system is a disservice21:05 The health impact of teaching on educators25:40 Democratic education and student power30:15 Breaking the cycle of systemic oppression35:00 Questioning authority and raising free thinkers39:45 The challenges and triumphs of homeschooling44:20 Redefining resilience for Black children49:10 Lessons from a hostile environment to healing54:00 Self-care, nature walks, and the Rebel Walk59:05 Future goals and living off the grid1:03:15 Final advice for homeschooling parentsIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to the channel and share this video with another parent looking for inspiration.
