You know that moment when a painting feels so real you swear the subject might blink? Hyper-realist portraitist Monica Ikegwu returns to reveal the behind-the-scenes rigor—hours of glazing, precise lighting choices, and minimalist backgrounds—that turn a single photograph into a living, breathing canvas. Join Monica as she unpacks her journey from MFA student at the New York Academy of Art to international exhibitions, and how her “Just Say Yes” ethos keeps her pushing creative boundaries. Studio rigor and glazing: how disciplined layers of paint bring depth and life to every portraitFrom fabric backdrops to abstraction: evolving her style by pairing figures with minimalist geometric shapesPhoto-shoot alchemy: capturing a sitter's essence in brief sessions and translating mood into color and formMFA to independent practice: moving from New York Academy of Art to a Baltimore studio and global exhibitions“Just Say Yes” philosophy: saying yes to every opportunity—from museum shows to artist-led residenciesLooking ahead: a new body of unified-color work and an upcoming institutional exhibition featuring her signature abstract motifsCatch Monica Ikegwu's first appearance on the podcast here:  Whether you paint, draw, or simply love a great portrait, Monica's process will give you a fresh appreciation for the craft—and maybe inspire your next creative leap. Photograph by Lia Latty Host: Rob LeeMusic: Original music by Daniel Alexis Music with additional music from Chipzard and TeTresSeis.

My guest on this episode is Bob McDonald. Bob has been the host of CBC Radio's Quirks and Quarks since 1992 and is a regular science commentator on the CBC News Network and a science correspondent for The National. He is the author of multiple books, including The Earthling's Guide to Outer Space, Canadian Spacewalkers, and The Future is Now. He has been honoured with the Michael Smith Award for science promotion from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Sandford Fleming Medal from the Royal Canadian Institute for Science, and the McNeil Medal for the public awareness of science from the Royal Society of Canada. He has also been made an Officer of the Order of Canada and has an asteroid named after him. Bob's most recent book is the memoir Just Say Yes, which was published in 2024 by Douglas & McIntyre. Astronaut and author Chris Hadfield says about Just Say Yes that “Bob takes his rare ability to explain the world to us all and applies it to himself in this delightful, often surprising and ever-insightful autobiography.” Bob and I talk about the importance of promoting and communicating real science amid the proliferation of misinformation and conspiracy theories (and why the closing of the Ontario Science Centre doesn't exactly help with that goal), about his initial reluctance to include the story of his childhood sexual abuse in his memoir (but why he is proud that he did), and about his work-in-progress, a book for kids that focuses on—surprise!—science. This podcast is produced and hosted by Nathan Whitlock, in partnership with The Walrus. Music: "simple-hearted thing" by Alex Lukashevsky. Used with permission.

Is there a time when you took a chance and just said yes? Bob McDonald, the host of CBC Radio's Quirks and Quarks joins us to talk about his new memoir: Just Say Yes.

Quirks and Quarks host Bob McDonald says people are often surprised to learn he's a university dropout — a fact that's contributed to the impostor syndrome he's felt his whole life. In his new memoir Just Say Yes, Bob McDonald charts his path from an unhappy and sometimes abusive home to Canada's foremost explainer of all things scientific.

Are you looking for the “empowering words” to motivate you to expand your Bubble of Quiet Confidence? If your answer is YES! Then join Amy Newmark, Chicken Soup for the Soul publisher, and me on Tuesday, July 16, from 4 PM - 5 PM CT U.S. We will be discussing stories from their latest release - “Just Say Yes,” to help you realize your full potential. Chicken Soup for the Soul: Just Say Yes—101 Stories about Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone is a collection of stories about people who have mustered up their courage and stepped outside their comfort zones to improve their lives. Whether you are looking for love or a new job, overcoming shyness or a phobia, spicing up your life with new experiences or reaching out to make new friends, traveling alone or going on that scary roller coaster, you will find kindred souls in the stories shared in this empowering Chicken Soup book. Even the ten chapter titles carry positive messages and excellent advice: Be Bold; Let Yourself Trust; Give of Yourself; Trust Your Instincts; Take a Chance; Embrace Change; Connect with Someone; Do It Afraid; Rise to the Challenge; and Don't “Act Your Age.” According to Amy, “What I love about this book is that saying ‘yes' is something that 100% of us can do. How many self-help projects are that easy? It takes only one second to make a decision to start experiencing life to the fullest by using the power of yes.”

Drugs and music go together like this podcast and hating on The Magnetic Fields. We as millennials remember well the lessons of D.A.R.E. (and are also very boring) but others have a more open attitude to a life of drugs. Ghostface Killah's Fishscale covers the highs and lows of drug peddling, usage, and culture and has Matt thinking, what if we 'Just Say Yes' instead? Cypress Hill and Spiritualized ask a similar question and measure the nuanced impacts of drug culture on one's health, art, bank account, and more.

When you need a pep talk in how to get the most out of life, you always want to turn to a woman who grows food out of her own poop. Okay, hear us out. Yes, it's true that Goldy Locks, lead singer and mastermind of Nashville's house-shaking Goldy lockS Band (yes, that's how she spells it), recently appeared on a 2023 of TLC's Extreme Cheapskates to explain how she uses her own feces as garden compost. She also mentioned that she collects stray socks from the laundromat to use as sanitary napkins and cuts down on her bar tab by finishing strangers' discards. But before you dismiss her as some sort of crackpot, you owe it to yourself to take a listen to her band's new single, “Just Say Yes,” a simply undeniable instant anthem that could convert just about anyone to her philosophy that the glass is always half full (especially when it isn't yours). No mere novelty record from a freegan lifestyle guru, the song soars on a can-do spirit and a musical oomph that make it as invigorating a statement of intent as “I Will Survive.” Strings saw away melodramatically, guitar power chords crash and churn, and Locks spews optimism in a voice that sure doesn't sound like it's been weakened by second-hand bourbon. Far from it: I'll stop at nothing 'til I reach the top I'll keep on moving and I'll never stop I'll start a motion where the money's free I'll make it happen where we all agree Just say yes Don't put me to the test, oh baby Don't say no Just how far can we go If you would just say yes Don't make me have to guess Just stop making a mess of my life And just tell me yes Now, who could resist an entreaty that direct? Locks says she wrote the song specifically “to empower people to say ‘yes' to quitting their deadbeat jobs,” and also as “a female empowerment song showing that women can ALSO be the boss.” But its appeal is as universal as the unexpected joy of finding a perfectly good sofa somebody left out on the curb. Even the hoot-and-a-half of a music video Locks and her band have whipped up finds liberty in liberation: The vacuum cleaners and other household totems they wield as props were all rescued from the trash, and the kitsch-Americana costumes they're wearing come from either thrift/secondhand stores or the nearest dumpster. That's pretty appropriate for a woman who was discovered while rifling through the refuse at Prince's Paisley Park complex. (Clarification: She was discovered by the police.) What followed was a circui

Send us a Text Message.Today I have a great conversation with close friend, and composer Greg Sims. We are talking about the importance of taking chances to move your career forward and what we've learned from our own experiences.Greg has taught me so many valuable lessons. One example is that  there is not such thing as multitasking.  Both Greg and myself took a lot of chances in our careers, chances that could have been disastrous, but looking back we were smart enough, semi fearless, and most importantly had confidence in ourselves.So - it's time to face your fears and JUST SAY YES! Visit GIG with Mike Redman @https://www.gigwithmikeredman.com/podcastsEmail me questions, guests you would like to see @ : gigwithmikeredman@gmail.comThanks for listening !Mike Redman

With the departure of guitarist Greg Wood in late 2006, Punchline welcomed their talented hometown friend Jon Belan into the band, setting the stage for an era of change and artistic exploration. From the exciting tours that took them all the way to the UK to the unforgettable recording sessions of the Just Say Yes album, the band vividly relives these sometimes tumultuous but always creative times. This episode explores the band's newfound confidence in self-releasing their music after being on a label for previous albums, which marked a defining crossroads in their journey into a DIY music landscape. While some members embraced this challenge, others gracefully stepped away. THIS is the story of Punchline from late 2006 until early 2009, also known as the Just Say Yes era.

JUST SAY YES by Franciscan Friars of the Renewal

After my first chat with Heather Taylor on the last episode, “Just Say Yes”, where we talked about the music-career affirming conference she went to, it reminded me of my own first conference and how important this one thing I did was so important in getting my career going. So many great things have come out of this technique that I call Lyft Affirmations. Heather and I sat down to chat about it in this week's episode. Feel free to leave comment about where you are with this journey!

Ever wish you could quit your job and sell your house to live on a boat and run your dream business?  For most of us, it's just a fantasy – but for coach, mentor and video marketer Jim Palmer, it's real life.  In 2016, following a termination at work and a cancer diagnosis, Jim, his wife and their four kids decided to follow their dreams – by selling their home in Philadelphia and moving onto a house boat.  Living his dream lifestyle and running his dream business, Jim now teaches others how to do the same.  Today, Jim joins me to talk about saying yes to your dreams, why working with a coach can be invaluable, strategies for success he provides to his clients, and why perfectionism holds you back.  “There's an expression: Perfectionism or perfectionist is a label you wear. So it doesn't have to be your fault. In other words, what holds most people back from kind of pulling the trigger, launching, writing, publishing, whatever is, ‘I'm afraid of what people will say if it's not perfect.' People become worried. … Make a decision as an entrepreneur, author, coach, speaker, whatever, just choose that you wanna be judged on the information that you share and not the imperfect way in which you share it. I've told so many of my clients that, and they're like, wow, that really works.” – Jim (08:47)  Jim also shares his techniques for overcoming challenges, and talks about how he helps other small business owners and entrepreneurs create their own dream lives.  “I believe that everybody is here for a reason. I believe we're here to serve each other. I think everybody has a God-given skill or talent. So you can either just use that in your private life, or if you happen to use that skill or talent and make it a business, become a small business owner. That's good too, because when you fully take control of your life – and that's what I mean by the dream business dream lifestyle – the best way you can control your own life and destiny is to actually create it yourself, create your own economy, create your own future.” – Jim (27:47)  In This Episode (03:17) Taking the leap to become “boat people” (05:49) What if you just say yes?  (08:28) How Jim helps people find their paths (13:53) Jim's top tools he gives his coaching clients (14:54) Why working with a coach is imperative (15:40) Jim's story (18:56) “The views just started going up” (23:26) The hardest challenge Jim has overcome (26:13) What do you do when you feel like giving up?  (27:47) Jim's message of hope Guest Jim Palmer is the founder of the Dream Business Mastermind and Coaching Program, creator of Dream Business Academy, and host of weekly podcast Dream Business Radio. Jim is also the author of several books, including “Decide: The Ultimate Success Trigger,” “It's Okay to Be Scared…But Never Give Up,” and “Just Say Yes!
