The path to musical excellence rarely follows a straight line. For Eloy Garza, director of Roma High School's celebrated mariachi program, that journey weaves through personal struggles, unexpected opportunities, and the profound impact of mentorship that transformed a shy trumpet player into an award-winning educator.Growing up in a household filled with music, Garza was surrounded by family traditions dating back to his great-grandfather. Yet his story isn't one of natural talent, but rather determination. "I was not the type that was very talented, but I work at it," he shares candidly, describing how he had to practice "twice or three times as much" as his more naturally gifted peers. This firsthand understanding of persistence would later become the cornerstone of his educational philosophy.After graduating from Roma High School in 2000, Garza's path took a series of unexpected turns. From studying in Kingsville to transferring to UTPA, his life changed dramatically after meeting José Hernández of Sol de México. Beginning with transcription work and eventually touring professionally, Garza achieved his dream of performing with one of mariachi's most prestigious groups. Yet at the height of this success, he felt called back to education—a field he initially "hated with a passion."What makes Garza's approach unique is his innovative educational system combining band discipline with mariachi tradition. By breaking down complex techniques into manageable steps, his students achieve professional-level excellence. The results speak for themselves: under his leadership since 2013, Roma's mariachi program has reached unprecedented heights, culminating in their upcoming induction into the Las Vegas Walk of Stars.Now in his 20th year as an educator, Garza's focus is expanding beyond his own program to mentor other directors. His advice echoes the words José Hernández gave him: "If you're going to do it, do it well." For mariachi educators and students alike, Garza's journey offers powerful proof that sometimes our greatest contribution comes not just from following our dreams, but discovering where we're truly needed.

"This is an unregulated market and you know military guys right, they like not having this overarching theme. Regulation will add value to this space, but right now, it's an unregulated and non-voluntary market, which is different from other countries being mandated to participate." The quote from our guest this week, James Clement, is referring to the carbon credit market. He's honest about the wild west nature of the space right now, but also realistic about the benefits certain regulation could bring. James is a seasoned rancher and innovative leader in agtech, currently serving as Senior Vice President of Grass and Rangeland at EarthOptics. James's family have nearly 400 years of combined family ranging experience, including operations like Beggs Cattle Co and King Ranch. He also founded his own cattle company in Kingsville, TX called Bloody Buckles Cattle Co, a hat tip to the 28th Army Division. James is currently still in the Marine Corps reserves with more than 17 years of service. Like most competitive brothers, James still wanted to join the Marines to follow his brother, but he enlisted in the reserves while his brother pursued the officer route through the Naval Academy. Fortunately or unfortunately, James ultimately ended up as a Marine officer, which set off one of the more interesting military careers I've heard of: - Afghan deployment from 2012 - 2013 - Military Transition Team (MTT) in South America training seven different Latin American countries forces' infantry tactics -Another MTT to train Mexican Marines in reconnaissance and amphibious operations - Afghan refugee camp outside Fort Pickett, Virginia for 3,000 refugees. Have a listen as James and I weave our way through this fascinating military career and end up at his current position with EarthOptics. The work they're doing with soil health monitoring and their use of a variety of different technologies to gather this data is quite differentiated in this space. Enjoy!

Our guest on this month's podcast, Registered Dietitian Jessica Rusch, suggests we view our kids, and ourselves, as premium cars that need premium gasoline when it comes to thinking about nutrition. She shares some great tips to help us do this even with those picky eaters or kiddos with nervous stomachs. ' Jessica Rusch's love for food and nutrition developed at the ripe age of 14. At this time, she started to become aware of nutrition labels, read up on nutrition articles, and became involved in sports. Jessica realized the amazing impact nutrition had on the way you think, feel, and look, and thus developed a strong interest in this field. It only made sense for her to carry this passion over into a career. Jessica attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Food Science and Human Nutrition in May of 2008. In 2009 she completed her required dietetic internship through Texas A & M University at Kingsville and completed her Masters in Clinical Nutrition at Rush University in December 2023. As a dietitian, Jessica gained experience in facilitating nutrition research studies, conducting one-on-one nutrition sessions, volunteering at youth diabetes camps, developing and completing educational seminars, coaching, leading nutrition classes, and the list goes on! Jessica's passion for food and the effect it has on our lives continues to fascinate her on an everyday basis. Her goal is to share this love and passion while helping others learn the positive impact of good nutrition to reach their health-related goals!

In 'We Want Better Education!': The 1960s Chicano Student Movement, School Walkouts, and the Quest for Educational Reform in South Texas (Texas A&M UP, 2023), James B. Barrera offers a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the educational, cultural, and political issues of the Chicano Movement in Texas, which remains one of the lesser-known social and political efforts of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. This movement became the political training ground for greater Chicano empowerment for students. By the 1970s, it was these students who helped to organize La Raza Unida Party in Texas. This book explores the conditions faced by students of Mexican origin in public schools throughout the South Texas region, including Westside San Antonio, Edcouch-Elsa, Kingsville, and Crystal City.  Barrera focuses on the relationship of Chicano students and their parents with the school systems and reveals the types of educational deficiencies faced by such students that led to greater political activism. He also shows how school-related issues became an important element of the students' political and cultural struggle to gain a quality education and equal treatment. Protests enabled students and their supporters to gain considerable political leverage in the decision-making process of their schools. Barrera incorporates information collected from archives throughout the state of Texas, including statistical data, government documents, census information, oral history accounts, and legal records. Of particular note are the in-depth interviews he conducted with numerous former students and community activists who participated or witnessed the various "walkouts" or student protests. "We Want Better Education!" is a major contribution to the historiography of social movements, Mexican American studies, and twentieth-century Texas and American history.

FROM THE WINDOWPANE : A Book About the Pandemic by Dr. Ida Acuna-GarzaFrom the Windowpane is a book about a little girl named Alyssa. She is experiencing many feelings during the lockdown due to the Covid 19 pandemic. She looks out the window and reflects on everything that is happening and the new rules in place - washing your hands, social distancing, and wearing masks. She's also missing her school classes and her friends. As she looks outside through the windowpane, she sees a tree and thinks about the freedom the tree feels wishing in a way that she was the tree. The book then reflects on the positive lessons we have all learned from the changes the pandemic brought to our lives.Dr. Ida Acuña-Garza recently retired as chief executive officer for the South Texas Coalition. She is the owner of Successful Lifestyles, LLC, an educational consulting firm.

Wondering how private practice can help you get more flexibility in your life? This episode of Private Practice Success Stories is for you! I sat down with Evelyn Pierce-Ruhland, a pediatric speech-language pathologist with a private practice in Kingsville, Ohio called Inspire Speech and Language Therapy. After working in the schools for 10 years she was overwhelmed by the high caseloads, paperwork, and long hours. Feeling the burnout, Evelyn quit her job, joined the Start program, and had her first client within two weeks! In this episode, she talks about how the marketing tactics from the Start program helped her build her caseload to start seeing pediatric clients in local libraries across her rural area. She also discusses how the flexibility of having her own private practice gives her the power to make her own schedule and have more work-life balance. Evelyn Pierce-Ruhland has been an SLP for over 30 years. She worked for 11 years and then had the privilege of taking time off to homeschool her children. She returned to work 4 years ago just before COVID hit. She has worked in a private clinic with OT/PT, an ENT's office, the schools, and now has her own private practice. She specializes in working with the pediatric population. She enjoys working with families as they begin their journey toward full communication with their child. In Today's Episode, We Discuss:When Evelyn got her first real taste of private practiceHow the field has changed and why clinicians are more burned out than everHow Evelyn got her first client within the first two weeksHow the Start program helped Evelyn market her businessHow you can perfect your pricing for your practiceWhat a typical day looks like as a private practice ownerTypes of payment options you can offer in your private practiceThe flexibility I hope you loved hearing from Evelyn!

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Rifles Only Brawl 2024 with Jacob Bynum  Hey welcome back to the Everyday Sniper Podcast, I was traveling last week, we ventured to south Texas to hit the Rifles Only Brawl.  Nice little drive to Kingsville, we settled in the day before the Match and recorded a podcast with Jacob.  The Brawl is a great straight forward event, no flash, just solid shooting.  It was like old folks home time at Rifles Only, all the old crew was present. So this podcast episode is a bit different, I recorded about 30 minutes with Jacob at Rifles Only. Then I when I got home we recorded a part two version via phone call.  I put the two episodes together to make one big episode for everyone to listen too. Despite the weather, the Brawl was a great event, awesome Range Officers moving things along, educated competitors who understand how a rifle match is shot, it was just awesome to witness.  Enjoy this episode, the conversations with Jacob are always great. You will find knowledge bombs are dropped a lot.  Again, thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast.
