Tara chats with a special guest, the prolific and award-winning Canadian author Merilyn Simonds regarding her latest book, Walking with Beth: Conversations with My 100-year-old Friend. https://merilynsimonds.com/ "In the spring of 2021, Merilyn Simonds asked her friend Beth Robinson if she'd like to go for a walk. Simonds had just turned 70, still active, still writing, but entering what struck her as a mysterious, even frightening stage of life. Beth, a smart, vibrant woman who'd held a job until she was 99, lived on her own and was as awake to the world as a person half her age. Who better to ask what might come next? During three years of weekly walks, the conversation between the two women only deepened, as they opened up about their heart-felt passions, the lingering influence of their pasts, and their hopes and fears for the future. In Walking with Beth, Simonds shares these intimate exchanges, delving into corners of older women's lives that are rarely seen or spoken about so openly. As Simonds looks forward into a future that seems unknowable, Beth looks back, offering her experience in surviving the later-life blows that batter us all, and more importantly, her wisdom about how to enrich every passing day."

In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, entrepreneur and father Mike McCarthy returns to Fatherhood Field Notes to explore the deeper mission of raising strong, capable young adults. Drawing from his lived experience as a second-generation entrepreneur and co-founder of GoBundance, Mike shares why passing down more than just financial wealth matters. He dives into the importance of instilling core values, cultivating strong moral character, and transferring all forms of capital—intellectual, relational, spiritual, and cultural—across generations. You'll hear why he believes in giving kids “flint and kindling, not the fire,” and how intentional family rhythms, estate planning, and meaningful connection prepare children to earn their legacy rather than inherit it by default. With raw insight into parenting teens, nurturing family culture, and building trust through connection over correction, this episode is a must-listen for any father committed to long-term impact and generational success.Guest Link:WebsiteLinkedInGoBundanceLinks and Resources:Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

I was honored and proud to host yet another member of the Villanova Wildcat Crew, my friend Peter Russell. To say that Peter and I have a few things in common would be an understatement and it wouldn't do our friendship justice.  First and foremost, we both appreciate energy, and we embrace the people that exude positive energy, starting with two of the most beautiful souls in the universe, Rainer “TITAN” Jenss and Tom Staib.  God rest both of their souls.Peter shares how he became a Wildcat and what those wild days in the mid-1980's meant to him.  You'll hear Peter and I speak of characters like John Coates, Tim “Tmac” McGuire, Bill Schroeder, Andy Taccetta, Kevin Taylor, and “Miracle on the Hudson” survivor, Steve O'Brien.Then we shift to present day where Peter reveals what kind of music makes him truly feel alive, including Dave Matthews Band, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Billie Eilish, to name a few.  He reveals a band name that I had never heard before, Manchester Orchestra, and I'm so glad he did.  Check these guys out, trust me.Peter opens up about why, after 30 years, he chose to leave the world of media and launch a self-funded video-based, online mentorship platform for young adults, called Kindling https://www.gokindling.com/ He describes how Kindling helps young adults cultivate personal agency, empowering them to thrive personally and professionally.  Although the program is suited primarily for adults from 18-29, Kindling can be the spark for anyone that wants to foster change and self-improvement.Finally, Peter pays tribute to his family.  Having recently lost his ultimate mentor, his father, Jack, he shares how and why Jack's character has been a lifelong inspiration.Join us, and let's see where the energy takes us!Tight Pants SNL https://youtu.be/Nv7Ts4v5_Bs?si=1Lp1zqALTPrEj7YoAll Along the Watchtower https://youtu.be/QLvNVtTtqao?si=BtbIDTr_FxOMzFKCGod Only Knows https://music.apple.com/us/album/god-only-knows/1440850596?i=1440852180The Sunshine https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-sunshine/1440945297?i=1440945308 (edited)

This Sunday, we continued our Kindling series with a message called “Oxygen for the Flame.” Just as a flame needs air to burn, our hearts need space to encounter Jesus. We looked at the story of the Emmaus road (Luke 24:13-35) and how Jesus rekindles wonder, faith, and devotion when we slow down and make room for Him.Sent ChurchWeAreSent.church

The journey from a booming pancake empire to a new venture in protein-packed pretzels is not straightforward, but for Cameron Smith, it's a path paved with intentional growth and invaluable lessons.

He shares insights on community building, financial sustainability, and the relentless pursuit of innovation in the CPG space.

This Sunday, we kicked off our brand new sermon series, Kindling. We started in 1 Kings 18:16–39 with a message titled "Prepare the Altar" that was all about rebuilding the altars of our hearts and preparing the way for holy fire.Sent ChurchWeAreSent.church

In this episode, I sit down once again with author and poet Stephanie Parent to explore her haunting and deeply personal poetry collection, Cinder Girl Grows Wings. We discuss the visceral power of free verse, the symbolic structure of the collection—from Kindling to Phoenix—and how themes of girlhood, desire, BDSM, and body image are woven through her work with gothic sensitivity and raw emotional truth.Stephanie opens up about her early fascination with fairy tales, the duality of submission and autonomy, the influence of pop culture on self-perception, and the emotional complexities of working in a BDSM dungeon. We also talk about the poetic form itself—how shape and space on the page enhance meaning—and how storytelling can reclaim and reframe painful memories.This is a conversation about transformation, vulnerability, and what it means to create beauty from ashes. Stick around to hear Stephanie read her favorite poem from the collection, Wildfire.
