Podcast appearances and mentions of Jerry Smith

When life becomes overwhelming and the burdens seem impossible to carry, many people ask a profound question: Does God give us more than we can bear? In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode, Jerry Smith explores this timeless spiritual question, examining faith, adversity, resilience, and the human capacity to endure life's greatest challenges. Drawing from personal experiences, spiritual insights, and biblical perspectives, Jerry discusses how individuals cope with loss, hardship, illness, disappointment, and uncertainty. He explores the belief that difficult experiences can become opportunities for growth, deeper understanding, and spiritual transformation, even when answers are not immediately clear. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the role of faith during life's most difficult moments. How do people find strength when they feel they have reached their limit? What role do hope, prayer, and perseverance play in overcoming adversity? And can life's greatest challenges ultimately reveal hidden sources of courage, wisdom, and purpose? Join us for a moving and inspiring conversation that explores the relationship between faith and suffering—where hope can be found in the darkest moments, and where the human spirit continues to rise despite life's greatest trials.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

The Flock was making noise on a national level starting back during the Nixon administration. They were unorthodox for the time: Jazz. Prog. Rock. Fusion. A little bit of everything, all masterfully played by the individual band members. They put out a few major label albums in their prime (Columbia, Mercury) … then, just as quickly as they came onto the scene, they faded away. Jerry Smith (bass/vocals) from the Flock joins me on the northwest side for this episode to talk about the band’s remarkable history (your jaw will drop at how many legendary bands they shared stages and experiences with) and what the present day vision is for the band. This chat is true Chicago (and classic rock) history, told by a guy who’s seen and done it all. I think you’re really going to appreciate it. (Please note: We talk a lot in this episode about an upcoming Park West performance. Due to an unforeseen circumstance, that show had to be canceled. Hopefully we can see the band live again soon!) ## Looking to transform your home, office, or business into a smart, seamlessly connected space?

Does it feel like you're flailing for ideas ​​every time you're starting a new campaign? It's good to have a place to start every time. To have a framework for your story that gives you loose benchmarks to meet so you're not starting from scratch every time. It's the answer to all the hard and repetitive work that goes into storytelling. It's the antidote to marketer's block. It's marketing, codified.Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon came up with the “Story Circle,” an 8-step journey the characters go on in each episode akin to the Hero's journey. And Harmon has used this framework for any new story, including for his work on the show Community. He says, “I can't not see that circle. It's tattooed on my brain." This structure enabled Harmon to write over 60 episodes of the show, which has become the most watched TV comedy for adults between ages 18 and 24 as well as a hundred-million dollar media franchise. So on this episode of Remarkable, we're looking to the Emmy Award-winning Adult Swim hit TV show for lessons on storytelling structure, the delightful use of absurdity, and much more. And chatting with us is Cube's Director of Content and Brand Strategy, Sarah Frazier. Join us as we talk Pickle Rick and all things content marketing on this episode of Remarkable.About Rick and MortyRick and Morty is an animated series on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim about mad scientist Rick who takes his grandson, Morty, on sci-fi misadventures including things like inter-planetary travel. The series was created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland. Both Rick and Morty were voiced by Justin Roiland until 2023. (Adult Swim cut ties with Roiland following news that Roiland was facing felony charges for domestic violence. The charges have since been dropped.) It also stars voice actors Chris Parnell as Jerry Smith, Spencer Grammer as Summer Smith and Sarah Chalke as Beth Smith. Rick and Morty started airing in 2013, and It's won a slew of awards, including 2 Primetime Emmys. About our guest, Sarah FrazierSarah Frazier is Director of Content and Brand Strategy at Cube. She joined the company in February 2023. Prior to Cube, she served as Head of Content Marketing at Podium, a platform for local businesses to get more reviews, collect payments, send text marketing campaigns, and centralize their communications. She has also held content marketing and demand gen roles for Drift and CustomerGauge.   What B2B Companies Can Learn From Rick and Morty: Create a framework for your storytelling. Map out the stages of your story structure to give yourself a foundation for each campaign. It gives you a basis to build campaigns from instead of having to start from scratch every time. Co-creator of Rick and Morty, Dan Harmon says creating the story circle was his “attempt to remove all the hard and repeated work from the task of breaking a story.” So do yourself a favor and create a framework for each campaign to start from.Employ absurdity. Be ridiculous and wildly unreasonable as a way to grab audience attention. When blended with seriousness, clever humor, and creative ideas, it's a surefire way to keep your audience interested. Sarah says, “The inherent randomness of our own lives makes us feel better to see it played out on the screen. The ability to see like you are maybe not solely responsible for the things that happen to you, that there is inherent randomness in the universe. But ultimately the lesson is like you are responsible for how you react to those things. Very similar to how you deal with customers and potential customers. They're going to come at you with all sorts of questions and comments, things that you didn't consider. It's how you react to those things that creates remarkable moments for them where you are a memorable vendor in their head and you define the journey for those folks.”Speak to the pain points of the employee, not the organization. Connect with your audience by sharing relatable stories, and by showcasing your solution as the answer to their personal growth. Sarah says, “Some of the best storytelling that happens today is where you're talking about someone late at night in front of their laptop, elbows deep in trying to solve a problem, and it's like something that's a lot more personal. You're talking about like someone saving their career versus someone using tech to solve a problem for their organization, which is such a boring narrative that we hear all the time. I think where people are succeeding is where they can lean a little bit more into that, ‘How can I help you further your career?' versus like, ‘How can I help your company do this?'”Quotes*”When you can ground things in a process, then you can use that mental energy to focus on creating something that's more interesting or more absurd. And if you don't have to worry about the flow and the process and the structure, then you can really use that brain power for something else.” - Ian Faison*”We're always talking about scaling in marketing. And particularly in tech startups because we want to move fast and iterate. But what are those unscalable moments that we can create for customers that feel wholly unique to them?” - Sarah Frazier*“Some of the best storytelling that happens today is where you're talking about someone late at night in front of their laptop, elbows deep in trying to solve a problem, and it's like something that's a lot more personal. You're talking about like someone saving their career versus someone using tech to solve a problem for their organization, which is such a boring narrative that we hear all the time. I think where people are succeeding is where they can lean a little bit more into that, ‘How can I help you further your career?' versus like, ‘How can I help your company do this?'” - Sarah FrazierTime Stamps[0:55] Introducing Director of Content and Brand Strategy at Cube Sarah Frazier[2:06] Why are we talking about Rick and Morty?[2:54] What is Rick and Morty?[4:10] What's Dan Harmon's Circle Story?[5:21] What makes Rick and Morty remarkable?[8:55] Why should you use absurdism in marketing?[18:10] Why it's important to feature customer stories[23:24] What we can learn from Rick and Morty about making parodies in B2B marketing[24:30] What's Cube's content strategy?[27:19] How does Sarah prove the ROI of content marketing?[32:06] How do you make a useful, bookmark-able template?LinksWatch Rick and MortyConnect with Sarah on LinkedInLearn more about CubeWatch Dan Harmon explain the Circle StoryAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

During the summer of 2022, members of the Leadership Under Fire team formed a working group that endeavored to examine NIOSH reports which detail structural firefighting operations that resulted in the line of duty deaths (LODDs) of firefighters and fire officers. The LUF team submitted its findings to NIOSH via the CDC that summer in the form of a paper which succinctly highlights human factors deficiencies in LODD analysis and reporting.     In this episode, host Jim McNamara is joined by two members of the LUF team who were instrumental in leading and organizing the effort – Jason Brezler, LUF's founder, and Jerry Smith, a member of the Baltimore City Fire Department and LUF plank owner. We hope this conversation will not only provide important insight into the methodology used to generate the team's findings, but additionally, that the conversation might also illuminate the path ahead for LUF and the greater American fire service with regard to improving the processes that the fire service relies upon to make sense of performance at fires which result in catastrophic death and injury to firefighters and fire officers in the United States.
