Podcast appearances and mentions of Kevin Murphy

Today's conversation is with Stephanie Mason - entrepreneur, founder of Global Brand Connect, host of the Cutting Through The Noise podcast, and the woman who built and exited Showpony after 14 years of growth.In this conversation, Stephanie shares the journey of building Showpony from the ground up, the entrepreneurial influences that shaped her from a young age, and the lessons she learned scaling a brand into a business attractive enough to be acquired by Kevin Murphy in 2023.But this conversation goes much deeper than business growth.We explore what happens after achieving a major goal, including the emotional challenges many founders face when the thing they've spent years building is suddenly gone. We discuss identity, purpose, reinvention, and the phenomenon known as "Gold Medal Syndrome" - the emptiness some people experience after reaching the achievement they believed would finally make them feel fulfilled.Stephanie also opens up about suffering a serious pelvis injury just days after exiting Showpony, why it felt like the universe was testing her, and how she navigated the transition into a completely new chapter of life and business.Now, Stephanie helps brands scale intentionally through Global Brand Connect, supporting companies with distribution, logistics, strategy, and growth while continuing to build a life she loves in Mallorca.Expect to learn:The entrepreneurial lessons Stephanie learned growing upHow Showpony was built and scaled over 14 yearsThe key moments that proved the business could become something specialWhat it's really like selling a company you've built from scratchThe emotional challenges founders face after an exitHow Stephanie rebuilt her identity after leaving ShowponyThe lessons she's learned helping brands grow internationallyWhy relationships and the right support matter more than pretending to know everythingWhat younger Stephanie would think of the life she's created todayThis was a fascinating conversation about entrepreneurship, identity, purpose, growth, and learning that success is often about who you become along the way rather than the milestone itself.Get 20 lessons from 330 CamBro Conversations - https://colcambro.kit.com/60ed1b527bGet my Linkedin for Sales Guide - https://colcambro.kit.com/products/linked-in-personal-brand-for-sellingGet my Peak Productivity BLUEPRINT - https://colcambro.kit.com/products/peak-performance-blueprintMake Millionaire Money Moves - https://millionaire-fhcpmlvz.manus.spaceBook a conversation about Private Medical Insurance with Lewis & Mark:lewis.mitchell@wpa-hcp.org.ukMark.McKenzie@wpa-hcp.org.ukConnect with Stephanie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-ann-mason/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemasonConnect with Col:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/Email List: https://colcambro.kit.com/30bde23b0cPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/ColCampbell

You have done everything right. The website is beautiful, the work is gorgeous, the reels go up. So why does it feel like you are shouting into a void while new faces still trickle in from who knows where? This episode answers the who knows where, and the answer has changed.Jen sits down with Renee from Salon Society, for a conversation that started over dinner and turned into a deep dive neither of them wanted to end. Renee has seen this industry from every side. A mature age apprentice who became a Kevin Murphy educator. Then a sales rep who built a territory on relationships. Then a social media agency owner running it all between nap times. And now someone who lives inside the world of AI marketing for salons. She is not teaching theory. She is in salon every week watching real new clients walk in and asking every single one of them how they found the place.What she is finding will change how you think about marketing in 2026. One woman booked a curly hair appointment after typing "best curly hairdresser south Perth" into ChatGPT. Renee shares the real numbers, the multi step path a client takes before they book, and the holes in the bucket that quietly cost you the clients you already worked hard to attract. There is also a tender thread running underneath all of it, about success, motherhood, and the day her son threw her phone across the room and she realised she had built the business but forgotten to pivot it.If this conversation lights something up in you, Renee teaches the full system behind it, building a digital presence that brings in bookings without posting more or chasing trends, in her own online course.What we coverHow clients are now using AI tools like ChatGPT to find a salon, and what that means for youThe one thing to become obsessed with in 2026, knowing exactly where your new clients come fromWhy a referred client can find you and still not book, and how to plug the holes in your bucketOptimising your socials, website and Google Business Profile so AI can actually find youWhy your captions matter again, and the problem and solution story every caption should tellBuilding an evergreen content strategy so you can stop chasing trends and get off the hamster wheelUsing AI to amplify your brand voice instead of replacing itRenee's own pivots, from the salon floor to education to agency to AI, and knowing when each season is overWhat success actually felt like, and the honest cost of chasing moreThis is the episode that makes the AI shift feel less like a threat and more like the most useful thing to happen to salon marketing in years.FAQsHow do salon clients find a business using AI like ChatGPT? Clients type a plain question into an AI tool, such as the best hairdresser for a service in their suburb, and the AI answers by pulling from your socials, website, Google reviews and listed services. The more consistent and specific your content is across those places, the more likely AI is to recommend you.What is the one thing salon owners should focus on in 2026? Become obsessed with knowing where your new clients actually come from by asking every new client how they found you and whether that is when they booked. Once you know what is working, you can make more of that content instead of chasing new clients online for hours.Do captions still matter for salon social media? Yes, more than ever. AI reads the words in your captions and on screen text to understand what your content is about, so a caption that names the service, the client's problem and the solution is what helps you get found and booked.Mentioned in this episode:https://www.salonrising.com

Kevin Murphy and Tom Weiser are the co-founders of Nerpa Travel, an adventure travel company built around small groups, sustainable vehicles, and real cultural connection. Before launching Nerpa, both spent years working in the adventure travel world with The Adventurists, helping run events like the Mongol Rally, where participants drive tiny cars thousands of miles with no set route and very little support. Those years gave them the kind of confidence that only comes from solving real problems in unpredictable places.In this episode, Kevin and Tom share how their own paths led them into adventure travel. Tom's journey began with a fascination for Russian language and culture, eventually leading him to work at the Mongol Rally finish line in Russia. Kevin's route started with travel, wildlife photography, and a life-changing diagnosis that redirected how he pursued adventure. Together, their friendship, field experience, and shared values became the foundation for Nerpa Travel.This conversation explores what it means to build a company around meaningful adventure, not just checking places off a list. Scott, Kevin, and Tom talk about sustainable travel, electric motorbikes in Vietnam, small-group experiences, cultural exchange, and why the best travel stories often come from the moments you could never fully plan. It is a conversation about getting outside, taking risks, and creating space for the kind of stories you will carry for years.

You have to call your friends once in a while and see how they're doing, especially if they're undergoing big changes and their city has been rocked with upheaval. Twin Cities-based actor and writer Bill Corbett will always be associated with Crow T. Robot, the wisecracking robotic commentator on bad films on Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's a part he played for many years and a part he'll be playing all over again as MST3K is in the process of a reuniting or sort of merger with Rifftrax, the comedy troupe he formed with Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy. He and fellow Minnesotan/host John Moe share thoughts on the ICE surge and the heartening coming together of community that grew out of it. ALSO!

The General Services Administration has leaned into its role as a central, shared services provider for the rest of the federal government during the second Trump administration. In particular, it has taken a leadership position centralizing most federal procurement under one roof and serving as a sort of clearinghouse for federal AI efforts. With so much transformation underway, the GSA during Trump 2.0 has taken on an even brighter spotlight, fueling federal operations. Miranda Nazzaro is the FedScoop reporter covering GSA during this pivotal time, and she joins the podcast to discuss some of the agency's top priorities, from OneGov and the TMF to eliminating woke AI, among others. The Treasury Department said Monday that it would cancel all of its contracts with Booz Allen Hamilton, linking the decision to a former employee now serving prison time for leaking tax returns. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a three-paragraph press release that the agency's 31 contracts with Booz Allen Hamilton — worth $21 million in total obligations and $4.8 million in annual spending — would be scrapped as part of President Donald Trump's push to “root out waste, fraud and abuse.” “Canceling these contracts is an essential step to increasing Americans' trust in government,” Bessent said. “Booz Allen failed to implement adequate safeguards to protect sensitive data, including the confidential taxpayer information it had access to through its contracts with the Internal Revenue Service.” A Booz spokesperson said in an email to FedScoop that the firm was “surprised by this announcement” — especially given Treasury's reasoning regarding Charles Edward Littlejohn, who between 2018 and 2020 leaked the confidential tax returns and information of hundreds of thousands of taxpayers. “Booz Allen fully supported the U.S. government in its investigation, and the government expressed gratitude for our assistance, which led to Littlejohn's prosecution,” the Booz spokesperson said. “We were surprised by this announcement and look forward to discussing this matter with Treasury.” Per the Treasury release, the IRS determined that the data breach affected roughly 406,000 taxpayers. Littlejohn, who was sentenced to five years in prison last January after pleading guilty to one count of disclosing tax return information without authorization, leaked the returns of Trump, Elon Musk and other wealthy individuals to a pair of news organizations. NASA has a new top official for artificial intelligence and data. Kevin Murphy began serving in an acting capacity in both roles Nov. 30, 2025, NASA spokesperson Jennifer Dooren confirmed to FedScoop in an email. He replaces David Salvagnini, who was the agency's CDO for roughly two-and-a-half years, and CAIO for just over a year-and-a-half. Salvagnini was the agency's first-ever CAIO. According to Murphy's LinkedIn, he has been at NASA for over 17 years. He first served as a system architect at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and has held a series of data-related roles, including chief science data officer. As the agency's lead for data science, Murphy has already worked to advance technologies — such as cloud computing, machine learning, and data platforms — for use with NASA's scientific data, per an agency bio. He also oversees the agency's high-end computing capability (HECC) portfolio, which deploys computing technologies to support large-scale modeling, simulation and analysis at the agency. Murphy's designation as acting CAIO and CDO comes after Salvagnini announced his plans to leave the agency in a LinkedIn post roughly two months ago. In that post, Salvagnini said he opted into the Trump administration's deferred resignation program. He said he began his transition Oct. 31 and would retire from federal service in the spring of 2026.

Asthma is one of the most common long-term conditions in children. It is a leading cause of missed school and emergency room visits. Doctors use tools (validated questionnaires) to assess how well a child's asthma is controlled and whether their medicine is helping. Some tools only ask about symptoms, which can miss children who are still at risk for asthma attacks. The lead author, Dr. Kevin Murphy, joins us to talk about “Pediatric Asthma Impairment and Risk Questionnaire: A Control Assessment for Children Aged 5 to 11 Years,” published July 2025 in Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice. The Peds-AIRQ was designed to improve how doctors identify uncontrolled asthma in children by asking about both current symptoms and past asthma attacks. This approach helps avoid missing children who may seem okay day to day but are at higher risk for future flare-ups. What we cover in this episode Why asthma control in children can be hard to measure What “controlled asthma” really means Why past asthma attacks matter, even when symptoms seem mild What the Peds-AIRQ is and how it works How this tool may support better conversations between families and doctors DOWNLOAD THE INFOGRAPHIC More asthma in kids resources  Take the Peds-AIRQ questionnaire  What is asthma?

Mental health challenges are rising rapidly among young people. How should Catholics respond? In Episode 48 of the Cardinal Newman Society Podcast, host Kevin Murphy continues his conversation with Fr. Charles Sikorsky, President of Divine Mercy University. Together, they explore how sound psychology, grounded in a faithful Catholic understanding of the human person, offers a hopeful and effective response to today's mental health crisis. Fr.

In this episode of the Know Your Sh*t podcast, Josh Cadillac sits down with Kevin Murphy, entrepreneur, educator, and creator of an innovative art education program, for a deep conversation about discipline, creativity, and personal accountability. Kevin shares how calculated risk-taking, “burning the ships,” and preparation create confidence in business and life. They explore the parallels between entrepreneurship, athletics, and art—why adversity reveals who you really are, how pushing past perceived limits reshapes identity, and why understanding the why behind anything matters more than memorizing steps. From resilience and unmet expectations to agency, perseverance, and building systems that help people grow, this episode is a powerful reminder that growth comes from doing the hard work most people avoid.

On February 13, 2017, a man named Richard Allen murdered two girls, 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams in Delphi, in Carroll County. Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland and his team, Stacey Diener and James Luttrull, prosecuted him. Allen's defense team consisted of lead counsel Brad Rozzi, Jennifer Auger, and Andrew Baldwin. That defense team established a consistent pattern of engaging in baseless personal attacks on prosecutors and detectives throughout their representation, and also put forward a flimsy theory of the case centering an alleged Norse pagan cult. Allen was convicted on November 11, 2024 by a jury of his peers. The Murder Sheet can now exclusively report that Baldwin filed a ridiculous complaint against McLeland this past summer with Indiana's Disciplinary Commission, a body tasked with disciplinary complaints against lawyers. Baldwin's complaint was dismissed on its face. But we can now share that this was not the only frivolous complaint filed regarding the Delphi murders — we got one too.Find discounts for Murder Sheet listeners here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/discountsCheck out our upcoming book events and get links to buy tickets here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/eventsOrder our book on Delphi here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/shadow-of-the-bridge-the-delphi-murders-and-the-dark-side-of-the-american-heartland-aine-cain/21866881?ean=9781639369232Or here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Shadow-of-the-Bridge/Aine-Cain/9781639369232Or here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-Murders-American-Heartland/dp/1639369236Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Check out more inclusive sizing and t-shirt and merchandising options here: https://themurdersheet.dashery.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kevin Murphy  - Evolve Artist On the Value of Learning Art Beyond Making Art: "As an artist, you require more data. And so an education trains your subconscious mind to feed the data that you need to draw and paint, rather than just the stuff you need for survival." The power of art goes well beyond pictures, sculpture and music.  To simplify it down to the audio and visual alone is to miss the power that learning how to have an eye for art can offer you.  Knowing how to view the world from different angles to help you create a painting is just as useful to see the world from different angles to understand all manner of perspectives. Kevin Murphy draws thought provoking parallels between learning art and mastering other complex skills, exploring how our brains process visual information and how deliberate, foundational training opens doors not just in painting, but in any creative pursuit. You'll also hear inspiring stories of Evolve Artist students, from high school competitors to retirees, many of whom have gone on to find personal fulfillment and financial success through their art. Listen as Kevin explains how Evolve Artist systematizes the fundamentals of art to help you and other artists see the world and make it more beautiful. Enjoy!

You might've grown up believing you weren't the “creative type.”Maybe someone told you your art wasn't good enough, or life pulled you toward what felt practical.

Nothing remains of Roger Williams University except a couple of historical plaques tucked away on Vanderbilt's Peabody Campus. Founded in the wake of the Civil War alongside Fisk and Meharry, this historically Black institution once thrived before being destroyed in two suspicious fires in 1905. Today we uncover the forgotten history of Roger Williams, visit the nearby The Curb Center for Art, Enterprise & Public Policy, and meet artists and scholars working to both memorialize the university as well as honor their ancestral heritage through monuments and art.Guests Lanecia Rouse, visual artist & Berg Global Artist-In-Residence Fellowship in the College of Arts and Science, Vanderbilt University Ciona Rouse, poet Dr. Kevin Murphy, Andrew W.

This week on Beauty IQ Expert, Tegan and Sadaf are shining a light on the body parts we too often forget — starting with your scalp. We spend so much time caring for the skin on our face, but what about our scalp, ears, elbows, and chest? Skin Therapist Tegan breaks down why scalp exfoliation is trending for all the right reasons, from improving scalp health and reducing build-up to helping your haircare products actually work harder. You’ll also learn how to care for those often-overlooked areas (and why your elbows deserve more love than they get). In Win, Bin or Recycle, we’re talking celebrity skincare brands. The hits, the misses, and the ones that actually earn their spot in your routine (no shade, just facts). Plus, in Adore Anonymous, a listener asks the million-dollar question: Does exfoliating your scalp really make your hair grow faster, or is that just marketing? And if you’ve ever fallen in love with a product sample — same. We share the ones that turned into full-size obsessions, including a volumising paste you’ll want, immediately.

Kevin Murphy is a master illustrator, portrait artist, and art educator with over 30 years of experience. His career began in 1992 creating commissioned works for National Geographic, LucasArts, Barnes & Noble, Sega, and even the Rolling Stones' Bridges to Babylon tour. In 2001, Kevin transitioned into portraiture and later founded the Art Academy to make professional-level training accessible to everyone. Today, Kevin leads Evolve Artist, an online painting program studied in over 70 countries. What sets his approach apart is a clear, fundamentals-first method that teaches realistic painting like a science—not guesswork. Students of all ages learn to paint confidently through a self-paced, feedback-supported system that emphasizes results over raw “talent.” Kevin's students, including retirees, engineers, and even surgeons, consistently outperform art school graduates with just a fraction of the time typically expected to develop such skills. Kevin Murphy Vroom Vroom Veer Summary Art Education and Career Evolution Kevin shared his career journey, highlighting his transition from an untrained artist to a successful professional in illustration, portrait work, and education. He emphasized the importance of hard work and dedication over natural talent, recounting how he built a school and an online resource to provide accessible art education, which has expanded to 23 brick-and-mortar schools across the US and overseas. Kevin explained that the Evolve program, which is entirely online, focuses on providing structured, skill-building assignments with feedback, creating a supportive community for students worldwide. Breaking the Cycle of Disadvantage Kevin shared his experiences growing up in a tough neighborhood in the Bronx with three brothers, highlighting how his parents, who were not educated, emphasized the importance of education. He discussed how talent and resources often create a feedback loop, using examples from Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" about hockey players in Canada and quarterbacks, illustrating how early advantages can significantly impact an individual's development and opportunities. Kevin also mentioned his own challenges in school, which he attributed to his environment and the lack of resources available to him, emphasizing the importance of access to opportunities for personal and professional growth. Journey From Sports to Art Kevin shared his family background, highlighting his older brother's academic and athletic achievements, including his career in computer science and his athletic potential that was derailed by an injury. Kevin discussed his own educational struggles and preference for individual sports like wrestling, which he pursued due to his competitive nature and desire for personal achievement. He reflected on how his interests evolved from wrestling to art, where he found fulfillment in individual pursuits. Thrill-Seeking Journey to Art Kevin shared his past experiences of seeking thrill and adventure, leading to multiple concussions and injuries from his youth. He discussed how his high pain threshold and need for excitement led him to engage in risky activities, despite his family's concerns. As he aged, Kevin's physical condition deteriorated due to accumulated injuries, and he transitioned from construction work to pursue a career in art. Kevin's Journey From Construction to Publishing Kevin shared his career journey from being a construction worker to becoming a successful book cover illustrator and later a publisher. He described how he taught himself to read and fell in love with science fiction and fantasy, leading him to pursue a career in illustration. Kevin highlighted his notable projects, including working with George R. R. Martin on Game of Thrones and creating a Rolling Stones album cover. He also discussed his experience working with LucasArts on puzzles and toy packaging for Jurassic Park.
