James B. Emmett is a Senior Editor for Mad Cave Studios. If you're a long time listener of this podcast you've definitely heard his name before as the editor for some amazing comics. After James posted on social media asking if anyone would be interested in him doing an "ask me almost anything" about editing or Mad Cave, Jimmy reached out to finally get him on the podcast. James covers some of the questions he was previously asked and he and Jimmy dig a little deeper into those answers. James also discusses his journey in comics, his current role at Mad Cave, how creator owned comics work at Mad Cave, and the upcoming comics he's excited about. This is a great conversation, but if you wanted to know more about what a comic book editor does or if you're planning on pitching a series to Mad Cave, you definitely don't want to miss this episode.  Follow James on Bluesky James' website Mad Cave Studios Comic Book Yeti LinkTree PATREON We have a new Patreon, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CryptidCreatorCornerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this episode of The Voice of Retail, I'm joined by James B. Smith, Founder and CEO of Rare Placement, for a wide-ranging conversation on modern leadership, executive search, and the future of talent in the retail industry.James brings an exceptional career journey to the mic, beginning in advertising with agencies like Grey and Ogilvy, moving into marketing leadership at Citibank, in leadership roles at Esquire and then Conde Nast Traveller—where he helped it become the top-performing title, even outpacing Vogue. His passion for growth and transformation led him to become a CEO, owner-operator, and eventually launch Rare Placement, a boutique executive search firm focused on personalized, human-centric talent solutions.In our conversation, James emphasizes the power of storytelling—not just for brands, but for leaders. He reveals that every candidate he's placed has gone on to become a client, a testament to his laser focus on culture fit, agility, and soft skills over just resumes. We dive into how executive hiring has changed, why modern CEOs need courage, humility, and the ability to say “I don't know,” and how COVID permanently reshaped leadership styles and expectations around flexibility and culture.James shares practical advice for current and aspiring retail leaders—from building a strong, concise personal narrative to investing in ongoing networking, not just when you're in transition. He stresses that succession planning should be an ongoing, layered strategy, and reminds executives that “people buy leaders, not logos.”We also explore the increasing importance of board roles—both fiduciary and advisory—and how executives can position themselves for these opportunities by knowing what they uniquely bring to the table.Whether you're a retail executive planning your next move, a CEO rethinking your leadership team, or a rising leader wondering how to stand out, this episode is packed with actionable insights. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur.

Discovering the Reality of GodJoin us on a journey from doubt to devotion with Dr. James B. Polson.James Polson was once a skeptic who believed that God, heaven, and hell did not likely exist outside of his imagination. He was satisfied with his views until he was involved in a car accident that forced the realization that death can occur at any time. Was he wrong about heaven and hell? If they really existed, where would he be? While these complex questions remained in the back of his mind, Polson embarked on a quest to discover any truth about the existence of God, heaven, and hell.Dr. Polson studied biomedical sciences and earned a PhD in pharmacology, he taught and conducted research at the University of South Florida, College of Medicine, and earned an MA in biblical studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. You can reach Dr. James at his website https://www.jamesbpolson.com

An ambitious genre-crossing exploration of Black speculative imagination, The Dark Delight of Being Strange: Black Stories of Freedom (Columbia University Press 2024) combines fiction, historical accounts, and philosophical prose to unveil the extraordinary and the surreal in everyday Black life.In a series of stories and essays, James B. Haile, III, traces how Black speculative fiction responds to enslavement, racism, colonialism, and capitalism and how it reveals a life beyond social and political alienation. He re-envisions Black technologies of freedom through Henry Box Brown's famed escape from slavery in a wooden crate, fashions an anticolonial “hollow earth theory” from the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, and considers the octopus and its ability to camouflage itself as a model for Black survival strategies, among others. Looking at Black life through the lens of speculative fiction, this book transports readers to alternative worlds and spaces while remaining squarely rooted in present-day struggles. In so doing, it rethinks historical and contemporary Black experiences as well as figures such as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, Henry Dumas, and Toni Morrison.Offering new ways to grasp the meanings and implications of Black freedom, The Dark Delight of Being Strange invites us to reimagine history and memory, time and space, our identities and ourselves. Winner, 2025 Hugh J. Silverman Book Prize, Association for Philosophy and Literature Finalist, 2025 PEN America Open Book Award James B. Haile III is a Professor of English & Philosophy at the University of Rhode Island. You can find him at the University of Rhode Island Philosophy Department website.

I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.As we prepare for the upcoming deep dive on the 4th Pillar of Homemaking, Community, we have been revisiting the other pillars; Identity, Values, and Rhythms. Over the past few weeks, we've looked at rhythms of rest, worship and work. Today we turn our attention to a rhythm that may surprise you….we will talk about the need for rhythms of play. We will look at examples of play in God's creation and in His Word to see what we can learn about the value of play. Then I will give you some practical suggestions for implementing regular rhythms of play into your home life.NOTES & LINKSSources & Scripture Mentioned:Psalm 96:1-12, The Message TranslationIsaiah 55:12, Christian Standard BibleProverbs 8:30-31, CSBPsalm 19, CSBJordan, James B.
