Welcome to the next episode in the 2026 Melbourne Frontyard Ultra Mini-Series on the ZenRUN Podcast. This series follows a handful of athletes through their actual Melbourne Frontyard Ultra journey - not just the polished finish-line version, but the little check-ins along the way. The early excitement. The tired bits. The crew moments. The food updates. The emotional wobbles. The “why are my toes doing this?” moments. And eventually, the wrap-up chat when their race is done. In this episode, we're following the wonderful Rachael Johnstone. And this one is full of heart. Rachael came into Melbourne Frontyard Ultra with her sister-in-law and running buddy Nagiska, and the two of them had such a beautiful team energy from the very beginning. Rachael's running story is still relatively new, but it already has a lot packed into it. She grew up sporty, then stepped away from sport during those teenage years when suddenly it seemed much cooler not to join in. She left school young, became a hairdresser, built a life and a family, and later found movement again after having her first son, when postnatal depression made walking, gym and movement feel like something that was just for her. Running became part of her life again during years of IVF. At first, it was 1K or 3K before work. Then, after watching Nagiska and her brother Jack take on bigger and bigger challenges, Rachael wanted a piece of it too. And from there, things escalated. As they do. Her first half-marathon was with a pram. Her first marathon, first 50K and first 100K were all done on her own, outside of events, because the idea of failing in front of people felt too big. Which is one of the things I loved about this conversation. Rachael talks honestly about social anxiety, pressure, fear of failure, and the shift that happens when you realise the running community is not waiting to judge you. They're waiting to cheer you on. At Melbourne Frontyard Ultra, Rachael came in with one clear minimum goal. Twenty-four hours. Or, as she put it, 24 was the floor. Not the ceiling. The floor. She wanted that 100-mile milestone, but she also wanted to leave everything out there and be able to say she was proud of herself at the end. And she did exactly that. Rachael went on to reach 30 yards - 200 kilometres - through sore feet, emotional moments, changing rhythms with Nagiska, running with Paul Pratt, following Margie Hadley's feet through the night, smiling through the village, and leaning heavily on an amazing crew led by her husband Pete. Her feet were the big battle. In her words, it felt like every toenail was going to explode. Which is a delightful image, obviously. But she kept going. She got to 24. Then she got to 30. And then she slept in the car, woke up at 4:30am, and somehow still sat down with me for a wrap-up chat. This episode is about running, yes. But it's also about motherhood, mental health, confidence, courage, friendship, support, and what happens when you stop hiding your goals just in case you fail. It's raw, funny, honest, emotional, and full of the kind of everyday-runner courage that makes these stories so special. Why You'll Love This Episode Rachael shares honestly about motherhood, IVF, postnatal depression and finding movement again We talk about social anxiety, fear of failure, and learning to go all in You'll hear how she went from short runs before work to huge ultra goals Her first half-marathon was with a pram, which deserves its own round of applause Rachael's connection with Nagiska is such a lovely part of the story She reaches 24 yards, her “floor”, then keeps going to 30 yards and 200K There is foot pain, fake smiling, white noise, dreams, hot chips and a whole lot of heart It's a beautiful reminder that you don't have to feel fearless to do something big A Few Favourite Themes Twenty-four was the floor Rachael came in wanting 24 hours as her minimum. Reaching that 100-mile mark was huge, but she still had more in her. Running can be something just for you For Rachael, movement came back into her life during really challenging seasons - first after postnatal depression, and later through IVF. You don't have to hide your goals Rachael talks about doing big distances on her own because she didn't want the pressure of failing publicly. This event showed the other side - that people are there to support you, not judge you. Community changes everything The clapping through the village, the conversations out on course, the crew, the other runners - all of it mattered. Sometimes the body is fine… except for the feet Rachael's breathing was good, her legs were tired but okay, but her feet were absolutely not enjoying themselves. Exploding toenails, anyone? Crews are absolute gold Pete, Rachael's dad, and the whole crew were such a huge part of the story. Clothes, food, leg massages, problem-solving, emotional support - all of it. Listen In For Rachael growing up in Coorow Leaving school young and becoming a hairdresser Finding movement again after postnatal depression Running through years of IVF Her first half-marathon with a pram Doing her first marathon, 50K and 100K outside of events Running with Nagiska and Jack Why the Backyard/Frontyard format feels so special The idea of every yard being a big red reset button Rachael's goal of 24 hours as the floor Smiling through the village even when it's partly fake Yard 24 and reaching the 100-mile milestone Yard 26 and the emotional wobble Trying to stay in the lap she was in Following Margie Hadley's feet through the night Running with Paul Pratt late in the event Foot pain, toenail drama and why running slow hurt more Reaching 30 yards and 200 kilometres Sleeping in the car after finishing Hot chips and a proper meal after days of ultra snacks Why Rachael might just be back again Mentioned In This Episode Melbourne Frontyard Ultra Ultra Series Australia Shaun Kaesler Nagiska Mayes Jack Pete Margie Hadley Paul Pratt Wild Dog Backyard Ultra Leongatha Marathon Tarra-Bulga Speak Share Fun Run Phil Ball Clinic Better By Next Week Podcast Backyard Ultra / Frontyard Ultra format Melbourne Frontyard Ultra Melbourne Frontyard Ultra Event Website - https://www.melbournefyu.com.au/ Interested in the 2027 Melbourne Frontyard Ultra?

In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with the lovely Rachael Johnstone - mum of three, hairdresser, backyard ultra runner, sister-in-law and best friend of Nagiska, and someone who somehow manages to fit 80-100km of running into a very full life. Rach grew up in Koo Wee Rup as one of four kids, in a busy household full of sport, family, chaos, and noise. As a kid, she loved being active - netball, swimming, cross country, athletics, hockey, t-ball - basically all the things. But like so many teenage girls, sport slowly faded into the background when friends, social life, and fitting in became more important. After leaving school at the end of Year 11, Rach became a hairdresser and spent around 20 years at the same salon - including some very long commutes, early starts, and years on her feet. But this conversation is about much more than running. Rach speaks openly about becoming a young mum, meeting her husband Pete, going through IVF, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies, grief, family life, giving up alcohol, and eventually finding running in a way that completely changed her life. Her running started small - 1.5km to 3km in the morning before work, just around the well-lit streets near home. She didn't necessarily love the running part at first, but she loved how she felt afterwards. Then, when her daughter Jada was six weeks old, Rach found a $20 running pram on Marketplace - and that little bargain pram helped launch a whole new chapter. From there, running grew. A few kilometres became a half marathon with the pram on a random Wednesday. Then came bigger adventures, backyard ultras, trail races, 50Ks, Two Bays, Wild Dog Backyard Ultra, Tarawera, Melbourne Frontyard Ultra, and now a focus on GV Backyard Ultra. What I loved most about this chat is how normal and real Rach makes it all sound. She doesn't pretend she has endless free time. She doesn't wait for the perfect moment. She runs early, late, around kids, around work, around dinner, around life. Sometimes she gets 10km. Sometimes she gets 1km. But she keeps showing up. And for Rach, running is not just fitness. It's thinking time. It's processing time. It's self-care. It's discipline. It's a way to be a better mum, wife, friend, and human. We talk about: growing up sporty, then drifting away from sport as a teenager becoming a hairdresser and working long days on her feet becoming a young mum IVF, miscarriage, grief, and healing giving up alcohol and choosing a different life for her family starting running with tiny morning runs the legendary $20 running pram running her first half marathon with the pram why she often runs alone fitting running around three kids, work, and family life communicating with her husband Pete so they both get time to run why she runs every day when she can - even if it's only 1km backyard ultras and why she loves the format learning from podcasts while running strength training, injury prevention, and respecting recovery showing her kids what is possible why mums need to stop seeing self-care as selfish her love of the ultra-running community why she doesn't need to compete with anyone else - she just wants to see what she can do Tips from Rach Rach shared some beautifully simple advice for runners, especially busy parents: 1. Start small You don't need to start with big distances. Rach started with 1.5km to 3km before work. Small runs still count. 2. Make it easy to get out the door One of the reasons running worked for Rach was because she didn't have to drive anywhere. She could roll out of bed, put her shoes on, and go. 3. Use what you have A $20 running pram helped Rach build consistency when Jada was tiny. You don't need everything to be perfect - you just need something that helps you start. 4. Communicate with your partner Rach and Pete talk the night before about what each of them needs for their run the next day. It's simple, but it means they can support each other instead of clashing. 5. Be flexible If you planned 10km but only have time for 5km, do the 5km. Don't throw the whole run away just because it can't be perfect. 6. Make running a non-negotiable Rach's point was simple - time doesn't magically appear. You need to decide that your run matters and make space for it. 7. Get creative with kids Kids can ride bikes while you run, play at the oval while you run laps, or join in where they can. It won't always look perfect, but it can work. 8. One kilometre can be enough Rach has a 1km block she can run when life is busy. It's not about fitness every time - sometimes it's about taking five minutes for yourself. 9. Strength matters Rach admits she would always choose running over strength, but trail running and backyard ultras have shown her how important strength work is. 10. Self-care is not selfish This was one of the biggest themes of the episode. Rach believes running has made her more “selfish” in the best possible way - because taking care of herself helps her show up better everywhere else. Favourite idea from the episode You don't need more hours in the day to become a runner. You need to decide that your wellbeing matters enough to take a small slice of the day back for yourself. Sometimes that's a long run. Sometimes that's a backyard ultra. And sometimes it's one kilometre around the block. It all counts.

What happens when a franchisor and its franchisees are both running ads at the same time, targeting the same people? In this episode, Alloy founder Rick Mayo sits down with Aren Johnstone, CEO of Franchise Ramp, to talk about one of the most misunderstood problems in franchise marketing: duplicate spend. Aren breaks down why national and local budgets so often work against each other, what a properly divided marketing funnel actually looks like, and how Franchise Ramp built a system that makes every dollar, national and local, work harder. Aren also shares how he got his start buying an e-commerce business his senior year of high school, why he eventually left that world for franchising, and what Franchise Ramp's no-contract model says about where their confidence comes from. If you are an Alloy franchisee, a prospective owner, or just trying to understand where your brand fund actually goes, this episode gives you a clear answer.

What does B2B digital transformation look like when your end user is an HVAC contractor standing on a rooftop in 95-degree heat? In this episode of The Watson Weekly, we sit down with Lindsay Althouse(Johnstone Supply), Bryan House (Elastic Path), and Lee Trotter (Data Realm) for a candid panel discussion on modernizing legacy B2B businesses without breaking what already works.Johnstone Supply—a $4 billion HVAC distributor with 450 stores—offers a fascinating case study in real-world transformation. After shifting from a co-op model to an LLC, the company faced a daunting challenge: building a unified digital experience on top of 72 store groups, each running its own ERP system. Lindsay walks us through how a headless commerce architecture made a modern mobile app possible, why deep customer discovery (including interviews with contractors in the field) shaped every design decision, and how a phased alpha-to-beta rollout helped them validate the product with real users.The conversation also dives into Johnstone's AI assistant rollout, where the stakes go beyond bad recommendations—suggesting the wrong furnace part could cause physical harm. Lindsay explains why they chose a private LLM in a restricted environment, limited to verified product data, to keep trust and safety at the center.This B2B webinar is sponsored by Avalara , Elastic Path , and Data Realm.Beyond the case study, the panel unpacks the strategies that separate successful B2B modernization from expensive failures:Why customer-centric design beats feature checklists every timeHow commerce platforms can abstract legacy ERP complexity without a rip-and-replaceChange management tactics for aligning sales teams with digital channels (hint: give reps credit for digital orders)Why every project decision should ladder up to a clearly defined goalWhether you're leading a digital transformation, building B2B products, or just curious about how a 70-year-old distributor competes with Amazon-era expectations, this conversation is packed with practical insight.#B2BCommerce #DigitalTransformation #HeadlessCommerce #HVAC #UX #AI #WatsonWeekly

She has been covered by Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Bette Midler, Johnny Cash, Stevie Nicks, Mary Black, Jennifer Warnes, Trisha Yearwood and more, including a #1 song for Yearwood's debut album called "The Woman Before Me" which earned her a BMI award. Her songs then appeared on 8 other Yearwood cds. She also penned the title track to Johnny Cash's 1997 Grammy winning album "Unchained." Jude has released 9 cds of her own that run the gamut from Celtic, Gospel, Americana, to Jazz, Blues, and even Big Band. She has been featured on the CBS Early Show, and NPR Radio's "Morning Edition."

Dr. Kari Johnstone joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they discuss how traffickers adapt fast, moving money, victims, and exploitation through digital systems most of us interact with every day, examining whether our institutions are adapting fast enough to protect victims without them risking everything to testify.Dr. Kari JohnstoneDr. Kari Johnstone is the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings, representing the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe at the political level on human trafficking issues and coordinating anti-trafficking efforts across the OSCE region. Before joining the OSCE, Dr. Johnstone spent nearly a decade (2014-2023) as Senior Official, Acting Director, and Principal Deputy Director of the U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (J/TIP), where she advised senior leadership on global trafficking policy and programming and oversaw the annual Trafficking in Persons Report.

Dr. Johnstone holds a B.A. from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley.Key PointsThe OSCE survey revealed a 17-fold increase in forced criminality cases over five years across the 57 member states, making it the fastest growing form of human trafficking globally.Forced scamming, which originated in Southeast Asia, is now being exported to other regions as criminals adopt this lucrative business model that exploits victims with brutal tactics to defraud others.Technology and artificial intelligence present both challenges and opportunities in combating trafficking, allowing law enforcement to process data more quickly to find victims and perpetrators while also being misused by traffickers for recruitment and exploitation.Financial intelligence and following the money can supplement or even replace victim testimony in prosecutions, reducing the burden on survivors and providing effective pathways to convict traffickers.The non-punishment principle remains woefully inadequate in practice worldwide, with victims often arrested, prosecuted, and convicted for crimes directly related to their trafficking experience, creating lifelong consequences that prevent access to housing, employment, and stability.The United States leads globally on criminal record relief for trafficking survivors, with 48-49 states having vacature or expungement laws and new federal legislation (Trafficking Survivor Relief Act) awaiting presidential signature, though much work remains worldwide.Victim assistance must be unlinked from the criminal justice process, allowing survivors to receive care and services first before deciding whether to cooperate with law enforcement, which actually increases the likelihood they will come forward and participate.The demographics of trafficking victims are shifting beyond stereotypes, with forced scamming targeting educated individuals with IT and language skills, while forced criminality increasingly exploits younger children, including those under age 10, for drug-related crimes and violence.ResourcesOrganization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)OSCE Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human BeingsProtocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (UN Palermo Protocol)UN Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in PersonsU.S. State Department Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in PersonsTrafficking in Persons ReportTrafficking Survivors Relief ActEnding Human Trafficking PodcastTranscriptTranscript will be here when available.

On this episode of Nonviolence Radio, we explore Active Hope—the practice of choosing a direction and moving toward it, even when the future feels uncertain.We begin with Chris Johnstone (co-author of Active Hope with Joanna Macy), who shares a grounded, non-sugarcoated view of hope as something we activate: by naming what we love, honoring our pain for the world, and building the emotional and communal skills that help us keep going. Johnstone's “thrutopian” lens offers a way through crisis that refuses both denial and despair.The episode then turns from inner resourcing to urgent reality on the ground. In a powerful Nonviolence Report, Michael speaks with Mel Duncan, co-founder of Nonviolent Peaceforce, who has just returned from the occupied West Bank to what he calls the “occupied Twin Cities.” Mel draws a direct line between what he witnessed under settler and military impunity in Palestine and what he describes as ICE activity and intimidation in Minnesota—naming the shared dynamics of fear, disappearance, and the erosion of accountability. But he also brings a crucial through-line of connection: nonviolent protective presence. From villages and school routes in the West Bank to neighborhoods and high schools in St. Paul and Minneapolis, Mel describes the same essential practice—trained civilians showing up, documenting, accompanying, de-escalating, and organizing community care—to interrupt harm and protect the vulnerable. The conversation makes a compelling case that the “distance” between global conflict zones and our own streets can collapse quickly—and that nonviolence is a practical discipline we can strengthen now, together.Transcript Available at nonviolenceradio.org

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! R. William Johnstone joins the who for an in-depth conversation about his new book examining the life and legacy of former U.S. Sen. Wyche Fowler, one of the most consequential — and now often overlooked — figures in modern Georgia politics. Johnstone walks listeners through Fowler's rise from state politics to Washington, detailing the relationships, legislative battles, and political instincts that defined his career. The discussion places Fowler's tenure in the broader context of a Georgia Democratic Party at a crossroads, as the state moved from one-party dominance toward the competitive and polarized environment that exists today. Johnstone explains why Fowler's 1992 Senate race became a national flashpoint, how his approach to governance reflected a different era of politics, and what lessons his career still offers for candidates and voters alike. Along the way, the panel digs into the research behind the book, memorable moments from Fowler's time in office, and why revisiting his story helps make sense of Georgia's political evolution over the past half-century.

With deep roots in the raw and gritty culture of Camden, Edgeworth has built a life around instinct-driven art, spirited collaboration, and connection through creativity.

In this candid and comprehensive episode, Bryan sits down with Roman to tackle one of the most frustrating yet crucial aspects of the HVAC industry: technical support. What starts as a conversation about their own tech support nightmares quickly evolves into a deep dive examining the entire ecosystem—from manufacturers and distributors to technicians and sales reps—and how each player can improve the support experience. Roman opens up about his recent tech support struggles, including having to search Russian websites just to find service manuals for major brand equipment. This leads to a broader discussion about the fundamental problem: as HVAC equipment becomes increasingly complex with proprietary controls and advanced technology, manufacturers have simultaneously made it harder to access the information needed to service that equipment. The conversation highlights how the old "I never called tech support" mentality of veteran technicians is no longer viable when you're dealing with VRF systems, building automation, and equipment-specific protocols that require specialized knowledge. The hosts emphasize that good documentation isn't just helpful—it's essential, and manufacturers who hide behind "brand protection" are actually damaging their reputation in the long run. The episode doesn't just complain about problems; it offers real solutions. Bryan and Roman discuss what technicians need to do before calling tech support (hint: know your superheat, subcooling, and basic electrical readings), what makes great tech support personnel, and why investing in these roles pays dividends. They share inspiring examples of distributors and reps who go above and beyond, like the Johnstone team in Louisiana who actively seek out field experts when manufacturers can't provide answers. The conversation also touches on why tech support and education roles are chronically underpaid, and how properly compensating and supporting these positions could transform the industry. Perhaps most importantly, the hosts emphasize that everyone in the HVAC ecosystem is working toward the same goal: keeping end clients comfortable and satisfied. When manufacturers, distributors, reps, contractors, and technicians recognize this shared objective and work collaboratively rather than defensively, everyone wins. The episode concludes with practical advice for sales professionals, including the importance of ride-alongs and adopting the "I got it" mentality that turns good salespeople into indispensable partners. Topics Covered Service Manual Accessibility: The critical need for manufacturers to make documentation easily searchable and available online, not hidden behind outdated processes Manufacturer Responsibilities: Why "protecting the brand" often backfires and how transparency builds loyalty Technician Preparation: What basic measurements and troubleshooting steps should be completed before calling tech support Tech Support Personnel: The importance of properly compensating and supporting tech support staff to reduce burnout and turnover Distributor and Rep Excellence: How the best wholesalers and reps go beyond just forwarding emails to actively solve problems The "I Got It" Sales Approach: Why taking ownership of customer problems is the key to building lasting relationships Cross-Brand Part Referencing: The need for universal parts cross-referencing across sister brands and product lines Field Ride-Alongs: Why B2B sales professionals should spend at least one day per month in the field with technicians Legacy Product Support: The frustration when manufacturer partnerships dissolve and orphaned equipment becomes unsupportable AI in Tech Support: Why throwing technology at support problems without understanding the root issues is a waste of money Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
