Jeff Marx, VP and Treasurer of large global chemical manufacturing company Hexion, reveals how anyone in finance can land their dream job. His method is to encourage anyone in finance to adopt a method called “the finance passport”. Rather than chasing “shiny titles that look good on LinkedIn” anyone in FP&A should consider the concept of a “finance journey” to become an all-round player. This means taking a trip through Treasury, tax, audit, and investor relations to be rounded and be able to talk confidently about all aspects of finance, improving your impact on whichever role you are in, but is especially powerful for anyone with CFO ambitions. “I've had roles in internal audit, financial planning and analysis, controllership” says Jeff revealing how this journey has transformed his mindset. In this episode Jeff talks to Paul Barnhurst about: Understanding the finance passport and how to adopt this shift in your career Moving from a promotion-based to a growth-based mindset in finance The difference between a finance “athlete” and a finance “specialist” How Treasury and FP&A can work most effectively together to drive business efficiency His favorite Excel formula Why ability to communicate effectively remains the best advice for anyone in FP&A Watch the full show on YouTube.

Airing originally on April 22, 2021 on WYXR 91.7 FM in Memphis, TN, this episode of Faithfully Memphis features the Reverend Jeff Marx, rector of St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Collierville, TN in conversation with the Reverend Christian Senyoni, associate rector.

Jeffrey Whitty has written the books for several stage musicals including Tales From the City, Bring It On:The Musical, and the smash hit Avenue Q for which he won the 2004 Tony Award.

Before Joe Burrow goes No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft, Pulitzer Prize winner Jeff Marx joins the show to talk about his three-part series on Ed Orgeron and his Heisman winning quarterback. Forever Linked: The Story of Heisman Joe and Coach O is the story you need this week. It goes deep on Joe's recruitment, how he won over the team, and the connections he formed with Coach O. On the surface, the two are opposites -- the introverted QB from the Midwest, the outgoing Cajun from down the bayou. At their core, however, they're made of the same stuff. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/heyfightinpodcast/message

Unlucky episode 13. Join Emily and Chelsea on a journey through Houston to record. Starting at our place of work and traveling to the Hobby Center, all the way to Chelsea's car. When juggling several jobs and tech week, W&D has to get creative! We begin in hushed tones so that the students don't hear. Chelsea whines (no wine involved) about bad audience members- don't text and theatre! W&D heads to Diana American Grill at the Hobby Center where our wonderful waiter, Brent, finally provides wine for the rest of the episode. Recording in a restaurant was a new experience- we were far less disruptive than the couple that found out there is a no intermission in Once on this Island. After experiencing one of the best productions to come through Houston, we complete our episode in the car. W&D delves into the story about adulthood, told in a way that will reach the inner child in every stressed adult. Avenue Q was created by Jeff Whitty, Robert Lopez, Jeff Marx, and Rick Lyons.

Hoy traemos a Robert López, un compositor que al graduarse en Yale tenía claro que quería dedicarse a escribir musicales. Coincidió con Jeff Marx en un taller de composición con 23 años y juntos crearon un episodio de los Muppets titulado "Kermit, príncipe de Dinamarca", una parodia de Hamlet a la que seguiría "Avenue Q", un musical inspirado en “Barrio Sésamo”, con el que ganaría el Premio Tony al mejor musical en 2004. Robert López conoció a Trey Parker y Matt Stone, los creadores de “South Park” y trabajaron juntos en "The Book of Mormon", otro musical que empleaba palabras que nunca se habían dicho en escena en Broadway, pero con una partitura de López muy pegadiza con la que consiguieron  en 2011 nueve Premios Tony incluidos el de mejor musical y mejor partitura, además del Grammy al mejor disco de un musical teatral. López escribió canciones para series de televisión y más tarde comenzó a colaborar con su mujer Kristin Anderson-López en canciones para un espectáculo en los parques Disney de donde les surgiría el encargo de la Disney para escribir las canciones e la película "Frozen" con la que ganarían el Oscar a la mejor canción original en 2014 por la popularísima "Let it go". De las DOCE personas en el mundo que pueden presumir de ser EGOT, por haber ganado los premios Emmy, Grammy, Oscar y Tony, Robert López es el más joven de todos, además de haberlos conseguido en el espacio más corto de tiempo (diez años) y es el único que es doble EGOT, ya que como mínimo ha ganado cada premio en dos ocasiones. Emmy: The wonder pets (2008 y 2010) Grammy: The book of mormon (2012), Frozen y Let it go (2015) Oscar: Let it go (2014) y Remember me (2018) Tony: Avenue Q (2004) y The book of mormon (2011) Confiamos os guste la selección de canciones que hemos preparado, que a pesar de tener la inocente “Let it go” NO ES EN ABSOLUTO APROPIADA PARA NIÑOS, ya que tiene otras canciones suyas como la escandalosa “Football Sunday” o algunos temas de “Avenue Q”.

Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom each week with a review of one of the region's many theatrical offerings. Today, she's spotlighting the new production of Avenue Q at the Community College of Baltimore County's Cockpit in Court Summer Theatre.Avenue Q is an American musical in two acts, featuring music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, and a book by Jeff Whitty. The coming-of-age satire tells the story of a hapless recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a rundown New York City apartment located on the titular Avenue Q, in an edgy part of town. While drawing lessons from the realities of his new neighborhood -- and shedding the idealism of his youth -- he and his new-found friends face the challenges of finding work, love and a purpose in life.Originally conceived as a TV series, Avenue Q opened on Broadway in July 2003 and won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Since its 6-year Broadway run of more than 2500 performances, it has been picked up for two national tours and a variety of international productions.The Cockpit in Court production at CCBC in Essex is directed by Todd Starkey, and continues through Sunday, July 1. Ticket and location info here.

This week Julie, Miranda, and Zane will chat with Jack Kelly about which of life's truths can be gleaned from Avenue Q!Find out more about Jack Kelly - YouTube, Facebook- FURTHER READING -Wiki - MusicaliTunes - CELEBRITY SHOUTOUTS - Robert Lopez, Jeff Marx, Jeff Whitty, Jason Moore, John Tartaglia, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Rick Lyon, Natalie Venetia Belcon, Ann Harada, Jordan Gelber, Jennifer Barnhart Like us on Facebook!

Karina Deniké is a vocalist and songwriter from the San Francisco Bay Area. Born in Cambridge, England to Czech dissident artists, Deniké spent her early years performing street theatre throughout Europe, Northern Africa, and India. Upon settling in Oakland, California at age 12, she immersed herself in the vibrant local arts and music scenes of the area, soaking in everything from punk shows at the legendary 924 Gilman to the talents of jazz/soul greats Jon Hendricks, Fred Marshall (Vince Guaraldi, Chet Baker), and Sugar Pie Desanto. At age 18 she released her first album with the dual female fronted Dance Hall Crashers, and at 22 she was signed to major labels MCA and Warner/Discovery. Deniké has made a lifelong study of the finer nuances of vocals, harmony, and performance, moving fluidly from intimate torch song chanteuse to soul singer to punk powerhouse. From pop music to jazz to modern composers' works, she has lent her voice, arrangements, and compositions to more than 30 records, soundtracks, and countless national and international performances, and is an active member of the Bay Area music scenes. After extensive and fruitful collaborative work, Karina Deniké is excited to present the first album entirely focused on her unique compositional voice. "The writing for this album, Under Glass, began when I fell in love with a beautiful Farfisa chord organ. A charming, quirky wooden toy whose big reedy sound fully transported me to another time. I immediately wrote the song 'Musee Mecanique', a 1930’s inspired love ditty with a nod to my dear San Francisco and her stunning shores." Under Glass was released April 14, 2015 and features Deniké's six piece band and an impressive list of additional talent. Centered around power vocal performances and ornamented with an unusually rich collection of vintage sounds — including the chord organ, bass clarinet, Fender VI baritone guitar, vibraphone, and celeste — Under Glass features some of the Bay Area’s finest musicians and composers: Aaron Novik (Tzadik Records, PortoFranco Records), Michael McIntosh (Ralph Carney's Serious Jass Project, the Cottontails), James Frazier, Eric Garland (Mads Tolling, Donavon), and Lily Taylor (Pour Le Corps Records). The album also highlights guests Deston Berry and Alex Dessert (Hepcat), Ralph Carney (Tom Waits, B-52's), Brigid Dawson (Thee Oh Sees), Ara Anderson (Tin Hat, OK GO), and Meric Long (The Dodos). With nods to doo wop drama, crackly records, Motown beats, girl group harmonies, 60's soundtracks, and Eastern European Lullabies, Under Glass is both strikingly original and warmly nostalgic. Its 12 reflective songs are filled with tales of female aviators, love, memory, and personal and regional history, firmly rooted in the musical worlds and seaside city Karina Denike calls home. Deniké has recorded with Dance Hall Crashers (MCA), NOFX (Epitaph), Tony Sly/No Use for a Name (Fat Wreck Chords), Ralph Carney's Serious Jass Project (Smog Veil), and Hepcat (Hellcat), among others. She has shared bills with artists including The Pretenders, Fiona Apple, Beck, The Ramones, Thee Oh Sees, and Aimee Mann and performed at prestigious venues and events around the world, such as the Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland), the Reading Festival (UK), the Warped tour, and the Fillmore. Recently, she contributed the acclaimed opening track to The Songs of Tony Sly; A Tribute (Fat Wreck Chords), was the guest music director for the SF Bay Area's Undercover Presents Series tribute to Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited (hosted by The Contemporary Jewish Museum of San Francisco), contributed lead vocals and vocal production to the album Home Street Home: The sHit Musical (written by Fat Mike of NOFX, and Tony Award winner/Avenue Q co-writer Jeff Marx), contributed a song to the 20th Century Fox film This Means War featuring Reese Witherspoon, and performed at the opening party for the world renowned art festival dOCUMENTA 2012, in Kassel, Germany.

NICK INTERVIEWS the co-writer of Avenue Q, Jeff Marx.

Along with the interview, you will also hear ex-Q-sive demo recordings from Jeff Marx - including two songs from Jeff (and Robert Lopez's) original muppet musical idea: Kermit - The Prince of Denmark.

Members of the creative team of the Tony-winning musical "Avenue Q" -- Robert Lopez (Composer/Lyricist), Rick Lyon (Puppet Designer/Actor), Jeff Marx (Composer/Lyricist),and Jeff Whitty (Book Writer) -- along with producers Robyn Goodman and Jeffrey Seller explain how the pieces came together to create this unique puppet musical, the journey from its early days at the BMI Workshop and the O'Neill Theater Center to the Vineyard Theatre/New Group production to Broadway, including the challenge of expanding a show in scale when the central characters, namely the puppets, can't grow along with the size of the theatre.

Bonus Episode #5: If Yo Yo Ma is the cello star of the classical world, I'm going to say that Peter Sachon is the cello star of the musical theatre world. Not only has he played on such wonderful shows (and recordings) as the recent Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof, Off Broadway's A Man of No Importance and The Thing About Men, and the magically delicious The Light in the Piazza, but he's an entrepreneur as well.Peter hatched the idea to approach a handful of composers/orchestrators/musical directors and ask them each to contribute an original cello piece to a program he called The Cello Project, which he performed in March 2005 at Symphony Space, courtesy of The New Voices Collective. (Some of the composers represented on that bill were Stephen Schwartz, Michael John La Chiusa, Bruce Coughlin, Steve Marzullo, and myself.)The evening was such a success that he followed it up with The Cello Project II roughly a year later, adding Stephen Flaherty, Ricky Ian Gordon, Jeff Marx, Andrew Lippa and Ted Sperling (among others) to the list of contributors. The music was wonderful, and the playing was virtuosic. (Not to mention, he's pretty easy on the eyes.)On today's bonus episode (and just to be clear, bonus episode means that the featured song does NOT appear in my published songbook), Peter plays my contribution to The Cello Project, "Vouloir," written for cello and piano. Recorded 5/5/06.
