You'll get a regular Write Big episode tomorrow!Hi!As you may know, after ten years of #amwriting, KJ, Jess and Sarina are moving on to other endeavors and have handed the reins of the podcast to me. I'm honored—and very excited—to carry it forward.For the past nine months, I've been trying things, listening to what resonates with you, and weighing my own energy and my options for what #amwriting could become.And I've landed on a new plan.The goal is to keep the spirit of what #amwriting has always done—help writers get their best work done—and to offer more ways to see your own work more clearly.This is one of the hardest things about being a writer. Is this working? What's not working? Is the problem on the page—or in the way I'm thinking about the book? Am I solving the right problem? What should I do next?There is endless writing advice out there. What I want #amwriting to give you is something different: the chance to listen to writers work through real problems, hear the thinking behind the solutions, and get better at seeing and solving problems in your own work.And this is work I know how to do. I've trained more than 400 book coaches and spent years developing frameworks for coaching writers through the decisions, problems, and stuck places that come up as they make books. That means I also have a deep bench of skilled Author Accelerator certified book coaches I can bring into #amwriting.I think that puts me in a unique position to make a different kind of writing podcast—one built around showing you what good coaching looks like in action and helping you become better at thinking through your own work.You'll continue to get free #amwriting episodes every week, including Write Big, my episodes about what it takes to do your best work and keep doing it; and Margin Notes, short episodes that take a close look at a particular question, problem, or moment in the writing life. That is where I will often have guests join me.And, I've started writing the Substack posts each week as mini lessons for those who want to read rather than listen. Before, they were generic summaries and no one wants to read that. But a big part of this new #amwriting is now going to happen for paid subscribers.Why I'm asking you to pay $8/monthBookLab and Hot Seat Coaching take real time, effort, and energy to produce. They involve reviewing work, preparing for coaching conversations, bringing in the right coaches and guests, recording, editing, and producing the episodes.I love doing this work. I want to do more of it. And I need the support of paid subscribers to make it sustainable.So I'm making BookLab and Hot Seat Coaching part of the paid #amwriting membership.If you want to get better at seeing your own work clearly, making stronger writing decisions, and knowing what to do when you get stuck, I'm asking you to support this work by becoming a paid subscriber. It's $8/month.For $8/month, here's what you get* All the regular weekly #amwriting episodes, including Write Big and Margin Notes.* BookLAB — We take apart real submissions—first pages, book jackets, query letters, and more—to see what's working, what's not, and why. The more you learn to see in someone else's work, the more you can see in your own. I plan to share a BookLAB episode each month.* Hot Seat Coaching — Listen as real writers work through real writing challenges with me and Author Accelerator certified book coaches. You'll hear not just what they decide to do, but the thinking that gets them there—so you can get better at working through your own challenges.* The complete #amwriting archive — Ten years of conversations about virtually every stage of the writing life, organized by topic so when you hit a problem, you can find the conversations that can help. (This will take us a little while to organize but we're already working on it!)If you want to do more than listen, you can come further into the work.Annual — $80/yearAnnual subscribers get everything in the $8/month membership for a more affordable price, plus:* Attend our monthly BookLABs live on Zoom. Join us each month as we work on writing in real time. Raise your hand to share your first pages, book jackets, query letters, and other work for possible coaching and feedback* BookLABs will happen on zoom. We'll email links out before each episode. Times of these sessions will vary but the next three will be: * Thursday, Oct. 15 at 9 am PT* Thursday, Nov. 19 at 9 am PT* Thursday, Dec. 17 at 9 am PT* Get private recordings as I do a last-pass read-through of my forthcoming book, Write Big: 7 Questions That Will Change Your Writing Forever. I'll read the book and decide what to change or tweak as I go, sharing the process with annual subscribers.For writers who want even more access and coaching:The #amwriting Writers' Room — $180/yearGet in the room where we do the work.Writers' Room members get everything in Annual, plus invitations to join me and Author Accelerator certified book coaches for more intimate coaching experiences throughout the year, including Blueprint challenges for starting and revising a book.We're kicking off the Writers' Room with something I'm especially excited about: the very first Write Big Coaching Sessions.This will be a five-week experience where we'll work through the seven questions at the heart of my forthcoming book, Write Big: 7 Questions That Will Change Your Writing Forever.* Before each call, you'll receive a private audio episode of me reading a chapter. * The live calls (Pacific Time) are:* October 19 — 8:00 a.m.* October 21 — 4:30 p.m.* October 26 — 8:00 a.m.* October 28 — 4:30 p.m.* November 2 — 8:00 a.m.* November 4 — 4:30 p.m.* November 9 — 8:00 a.m.* November 11 — 4:30 p.m.* Then we'll come together on Zoom to write, talk, and work with the questions. * We'll have a private Slack channel throughout the five weeks for questions and conversation, and a community manager who will help direct the conversation and connections. We'll also post recordings there, so it's okay if you need to miss some of the live calls.You'll be part of the very first cohort to experience the book this way. You'll help me choose the book jacket, and I'll include your name in the acknowledgments of the finished book.The idea is to use these seven questions to look closely at your own writing and writing life: what you want, what you know, what's getting in your way, and what you want to do next.So you can decide how far you want to come into the new #amwriting:* Keep listening for free.* Get better at seeing and solving writing problems for $8/month.* Bring your own work into the conversation for $80/year.* Get in the room and get coached for $180/year.I'm really excited about what we're building next—and I hope you'll come with me.Thanks for your support!Jennie This is a public episode.

"Den gjør ikke noe usømmelig, søker ikke sitt eget, blir ikke bitter, gjemmer ikke på det onde." (1. Kor. 13,5)Paulus snakker om den rene kjærligheten som er som Gud og som er fra Gud og som vi skal ligne. Jeg har lest ordene mange ganger og tenkt at jeg ikke er en som gjemmer på det onde. Men plutselig viste Gud meg at jeg hadde gjort nettopp det.Ikke bevisst, ikke for å være ond. Men fordi jeg ikke klarte å reagere da ting skjedde eller å sette ord på det høyt for å kunne bli ferdig med det. Det førte til at jeg lagret det inni meg i stedet, og dyttet det langt ned - helt til det ble så fullt, at det presset seg fram igjen og ikke lot seg stoppe.Kjærlighet er noen ganger faktisk å reagere, og kjærlighet henger nøye sammen med sannhet, sier Bibelen (Gal.6,1; Ef.4,15; Hebr.12,6). Vi trenger å si fra når noe sårer, av omsorg for oss selv, men i neste omgang er det også omsorg for de rundt oss. For ved å bli korrigert, får vi alle muligheten til å be om tilgivelse og endre oppførsel, så nye sår kan unngås.Har du også vært en som bærer på det onde, i stedet for å si ifra, i stedet for å stå opp for deg selv? Da skal du vite at det går an å lære seg å si ifra, vi kan øve oss på det, slik at vi kan få ting mer ut av systemet, men på en god måte som gjør at de andre kan ta imot det og lytte til oss. Da kan vi legge det bak oss, slik som kjærligheten gjør.Skrevet og lest av Eli Fuglestad for Norea Håpets Kvinner.
That perfect turkey morning can turn fast when you realize something's crawling on you. KJ sits down with Travis Avery from Sawyer Products and Colton Cozza of Gunpowder Inc. to break down why tick populations have tripled in the last 14 years, what alpha-gal syndrome actually is, and why hunters should be paying close attention, and how an $18 bottle of permethrin can treat five full outfits and potentially save you from a lifelong red meat allergy. They also walk through exactly how to apply it — what fabrics work, what doesn't, and why walking through wet grass won't wash it out.This Gun Talk Hunt is brought to you by Smith & Wesson, EOTech, Shooting Sports Life, Savage Arms, Range Ready Studios, Vortex Optics, and ZEISS.About Gun Talk HuntGun Talk Media's Gun Talk Hunt, with Kevin “KJ” Jarnagin, pairs decades of experience with today's latest tools and technology to help you succeed in the field.

Have you ever looked at a project you've poured years of your life into and realized… it's fine? Not catastrophic. Not terrible. Just fine.No one wants to read a book that's fine — and I am certain you don't want to write one.The first step in making sure you do better than fine is to catch yourself when you know you've hit a wall — which is way easier said than done.We get so used to plowing ahead, getting the words down, prioritizing FINISHING that we often forget to stop and make sure we are writing what we really want to be writing. Think of that pause like checking in with your gut or your heart: do you love this?Because if you don't love it, your readers aren't going to love it, either.In this Write Big episode, KJ and I sit down for an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you hit a wall—and decide to set off a stick of dynamite instead of trying to climb over it. Both of us recently threw out huge portions of our current projects (my Write Big book, and KJ's novel) to start fresh from page zero.I share the story of my 12-hour wrestling match with ChatGPT over the books subtitle (yeah — 12 hours on the subtitle), the “tough love” reality check I got from #amwriting recurring guest therapist Dr. Diana Hill, and how answering one simple question—are you actually centering your reader?—changed everything about my book's tone, structure, and voice. Meanwhile, KJ opens up about why she threw out her protagonist, embraced a dual-timeline structure, and ignored the well-meaning advice of friends who told her NOT to keep starting over.We talk about:* How to recognize when a book is polite or timid instead of alive.* The difference between an echo chamber (which AI can sometimes be) and a true truth-teller.* A method for salvaging the gold from an abandoned draft without getting bogged down by old words.* Why starting over isn't “falling behind”—it's standing up for your conviction.If you're feeling stuck, lost, or secretely suspecting your current draft needs a radical pivot, we encourage you stop playing it safe and build something alive.Let's get back to work and finish work we LOVE.#AmWriting is a reader-supported publication.

Evans's The CorrespondentTranscriptJennie: [00:00:00] Hi, I'm Jennie Nash, and you're listening to the #amwriting podcast, the place where we help writers of all kinds play big in your writing life, love the process, and stick with it long enough to finish what matters most. This is a Write Big episode, where I bring you short conversations, this one might not be so short, about the mindset shifts that shape the work, and today I'm talking to KJ.Jennie: Hi, KJ.KJ: I'm so excited to be here. This is... Uh, you know. I'll be here lots. This is great. Uh, the, the behind-the-scenes stuff- Is the behind the scenes stuff? KJJennie: often-KJ: And here we are just to like, you know, having a nice normal, um, a podcast, soJennie: yeah. I know. I'm so excited to talk to you and to share this conversation with our listeners, and we're talking aboutJennie: So we're talking about the mindset shifts that shape the work. That's what Write Big is all about, and [00:01:00] oof, some big ones just happened for us both. Yep. Um, if you've been listening for a while, you know we're both working on projects. They're very different projects. Um, KJ's is a novel, mine is a nonfiction book, and I just m- literally dropped a bomb on mine and totally blew it up and started in a new direction, and this is years into it, and you recently did that too, and you- I didKJ: something very similarJennie: you were shy about sharing it with me, which I thought was funny. Um- Oh. ‘Cause you were like- Yeah ... “She's not in the book anymore.” I was asking her aboutKJ: something. That's right. You're like, “Oh, and this could be s- “ I, I mentioned something, and I was like, “Oh, yeah.” Yeah,Jennie: I just mentioned changes. That was when we were in person.Jennie: We, KJ and I were in person, and you know what? We didn't take a picture.KJ: Oh my God, we didn't. You're right. Oh, well.Jennie: We both tra- We have aKJ: lot of things. Travel It just means we have to do it again [00:02:00] soon.Jennie: We both traveled great distances in order to have lunch and go shopping and talk about books, and we were walking and chatting about KJ's book, and, and that's when I learned she had blown everything up.Jennie: So how areKJ: you- We both blew things up. So I got questions. I'm sure you have questions. I have. My first question- Yeah ... you just did this, so how did you know you had to do this?Jennie: Yeah, I did it yesterday.KJ: I think that's ... I know. I think that's the thing that people wanna know, like, “How did you, how did you know?”KJ: Okay. “Was it gradual? Was it sudden?” Just-Jennie: Yeah ...KJ: you know, j- tell, tell us how we should know if we should do the same thing, which I already did, and I have an answer to this too, so.Jennie: Yeah, yeah.KJ: How didJennie: you know? So I was ... I had a finished manuscript, and I asked two people to read it for very particular reasons, these beta reas- readers, and they, neither of them were people that I would callJennie: They're not the kinda typical people that I would go to. [00:03:00] They were, they were more, um, regular readers, if that makes sense. They're, they're not insidery people like you. I mean, you and I- Me ... have a lot of insidery, inside the industry people. These were not those people. So I had a full manuscript. I took it out to both of them.Jennie: I got feedback from both of them, and the, the first, the first person's feedback was- Fine? It was, it was fine. It was like, “This is fine. I want more of this or that.” And it was, it was kind of like, not-KJ: Fine, huh? Great ...Jennie: not what anybody wants. Fine. I either want my reader to be like, “Oh, hell yes,” or, “I co- totally don't get it.”Jennie: Like, I want, I don't want fine. So that was the first thing, and then the second reader [00:04:00] said, “I ha- I got some tough love for you.” And this was happened after I was really struggling. I was trying to rewrite while they were doing the beta read, and, you know, f- with my own critique and my own next steps and my own thing, and I found myself unable to go forward because of the title.Jennie: I kept changing my mind on the title. Like, what really is this? And what, it's particularly the subtitle. What, what am I doing? Like, after all this time, after all this time, after a million blueprints, a million conversations, a whole manuscript, I'm still asking myself, “What is the point? Who is this for?Jennie: What am I doing?” And I, when I say that I was wrestling with that, I felt that I couldn't revise until I got it right because I, the revision now is very [00:05:00] specific. It's not let's just get some words down.KJ: Mm-hmm.Jennie: And so I think I spent, I mean, I'm not even exaggerating- 12 hours? I'm not kidding. Playing- No,KJ: I, I believe-Jennie: Playing with my title.Jennie: And-KJ: And you kept sending me things, and I'd be like, “Eh.”Jennie: Yeah, you were like, “Meh.” I was playing in Chat GPT- I was super helpful ... and the reason that I spent so much time was it was really fun. It was, it was like, “Well, what about this? Well, what about the other? I don't like that word.” Like I was fighting with the machine, which I sort of enjoyed, and, and it was, it wasJennie: It says, you know, it says ridiculous things all the time. “This is your most original idea.” I'm like, “Blah.” You know? Yeah. Just I was kind of wanting to- Yeah, you,KJ: you, you can't listen to it. No. You can only listen to what it's making you say.Jennie: I was wrestling with my own mind. Yeah. That's what I was doing.Jennie: Mm-hmm. And, and I would land on something, and I would think this, and I would start [00:06:00] to revise, and I'd think, “Yeah,” and then I'd send it to you. And you'd be, yeah, you'd be like, “I don't like it,” or, “I don't get it,” or, “Meh,” or, “No,” or whatever. And I was getting mad, not at you, but at my own self. Like, what is the matter here?Jennie: And if you've listened to the podcast, you heard some big revelation episodes with Andrew Perella, who's working on his novel, where you have to step back from the wrestling to say, “Why am I wrestling so much with this? There's something else going on here,” right? Mm-hmm. So that was kind of what was happening, and then the second beta reader- Uh, who is, has been on the podcast several times as well and, and will be in the future.Jennie: It's therapist Diana. So therapist Diana often comes on to help us with some psychological things around writing. And- AndKJ: she has a book.Jennie: She does. She has actually three. So she was the one [00:07:00] who said, “I got some tough love for you.” And she said, “Why don't you come over, and we'll sit down, and I'll, I'll tell it to you.”Jennie: And so part of me was doing that thing that you do is, where it was like, “Oh, crap, I still have so much work to do, and, and I'm tired of this, and I don't wanna.” And, you know, so I went into it with that sort of whiny, resistant attitude. And for, like, the first hour when she was talking to me, I had that really defensive thing of like, “You don't get me.Jennie: You don't get, you don't get what I'm doing. You don't, you're not, you're not in my world.” Like, I was really resistant. And then she did the coolest thing because she's a, a therapist and a writer and all the things. She used my own system on me, and she was like, [00:08:00] “Okay, step one is why are you doing this?” And she said, “I want...Jennie: I'm gonna ask you,” I think she said, “15 times, ‘Why are you doing this?'” And we, we were walking, and so she was just go saying, “Why are you doing this?” And I was just spouting out all the things. And I got to about, I don't know, eight, nine, and she goes, “Okay.” None of these are about the reader. These are all about you and what you want.Jennie: And, and none of these are about what you're actually making. Is this book... Are you trying to help your readers with what you're trying to do with this book? Like, are they in the same place you are? And I s- I had this really strong reaction, and I said, “No. What I'm struggling with around this book is, is a different problem from, from my r- my [00:09:00] reader.Jennie: I want to meet them here.” And I, and I said where I want to meet them, and what I want, how I wanted to help them, and why it was so hard to deliver that. And she was taking notes on her phone while we were walking, and then, uh, she read them back to me, and, and it was like, oh yeah, that's the book I want to write.Jennie: That, that's the book I want to write. Like, I, I knew it, I just wasn't doing it. And it was, um, a whole different structure, a whole different attitude, a whole different voice and tone. And, and it really required a page zero start. So I... This was what was really cool. I, um, did not use ChatGPT. I wrote a new subtitle.Jennie: I guess I did use it, ‘cause I was wrestling with one word. I guess I did use it for this one [00:10:00] word. Um-KJ: It's, it can be a really great thesaurus.Jennie: Yeah, yeah. And, and I sent it to you, and you said, I'm gonna keep this text for the rest of my life. You said, “I've already pre-ordered it.”KJ: Yeah.Jennie: I mean- YouKJ: got itJennie: It actually-KJ: I mean, you know, you might change a word or something, but, but no, that one was like, oh, oh, yeah, yeah.KJ: Okay.Jennie: Yeah. It made me wanna cry. Aw. And then I re- I wrote a new intro, totally new from scratch, which is where I had been stuck before, just like even what is this? And I, I wrote it in, like, 15 minutes, and I sent it to Diana, therapist Diana, and, um, she said, her text reply was, “F*****g awesome.”KJ: Yay.Jennie: And I was like, okay, okay.Jennie: [00:11:00] Like, two people I trust.KJ: She didn't say, “Fine.”Jennie: Right? Two people I trust had that reaction, and when I... I wish I could find the text. Maybe I can find the text. Because when I sent it to her, this was what was so great. I do wanna find this. I'm scrolling through my texts now while we're talking, because I said, um- New intro, just three pages.Jennie: Will you read? This is it, period. I hardly even need to ask you because I know it's it. Like, I, it wasn't looking for confirmation or validation. I kind of just wanted her to see. But I, I felt it was it. I knew it was it. And then I started... I can't stop writing now. Like, I'd been so stuck, and I can't stop writing.Jennie: I'm so fired up. I'm so excited. It feels alive and amazing. Um, it feels like butter on toast. Like, it's just [00:12:00] smooth and easy, and I get it, and I, I, I've clicked in, and it, and it... This has come after, like, I tried to sell this book. You know? I mean, I went through that whole process and, and it didn't. And now I'm so delighted that it didn't sell, that I'm not writing that other book, that, that I get to write- YesJennie: this book. And it's, like, such a pain in the butt really because, you know, I wanted it to be done, and I wanted it to be over- ... and I wanted to be close. And I thought I was there. Um, I had all these plans, you know, for launching and making it happen and blah, blah, blah. And it's like, oh gosh, now I'm like six months or a year behind.Jennie: I'm using air quotes. Like, behind what? I don't know. I mean, if I'm perfectly honest, there, there's a colleague who has a book coming out in 2027 that I'm [00:13:00] twitchy about, and I sort of wanted to beat it. And- ... it was never gonna happen. And also, like, what is that even? What is that even? So I, yeah, I feel amazing.KJ: This is great.Jennie: Yeah. Yeah. I, I feel amazing.KJ: That's, that's fantastic. Yeah.Jennie: I, I just love it. I'm so grateful for, um, you know, the people that I have who are truth tellers, which is, you're one of them. And youKJ: know- It is hard to find a truth teller. And I pick up so many books now, some of them by, you know, very well-known authors, and I'm like, there, there was no truth teller- RightKJ: for this person. And- I mean, I, I, yeah. You know, sometimes it's just like, “Well, this could've been better,” but the- I've had a couple where I was like, “Wow, damn.” Like, I would've, I would... [00:14:00] Even though I don't know you very well, if you'd given this to me in time, I would've stopped you, but-Jennie: Well, I think sometimes the more famous people get, the, the less often- I think soJennie: people will tell them the truth, and- Mm-hmm ... you have to seek that o- out your own self. And, y- you know, I'm so lucky that I have s- have, I mean, so lucky. You know, you, you're not gonna let me get away with crap, and I don't wanna put crap out there. Like, what I had was fine. ItKJ: wasn't crap. It was fine. ItJennie: was fine.KJ: Mm-hmm. But- And some of it was great, was, like, inspirational, really. Helped me, and had lot... But you couldn't, you just couldn't nail that the subtitle was the point.Jennie: Yep. It's so true. Yeah,KJ: and you just couldn't, you just kept sending me, like, “Ugh.”Jennie: I know.KJ: You know? Like, like, “Oh, this is a book about...” You know, I was like, eh, just like, you know-Jennie: This is a writing bookKJ: boring thing, boring thing, colon, [00:15:00] boring thing. And it was- I know ... or, you know, like, like, “Meh thing, unexciting, dash-” “... probably okay.” I don't know. It's, it's-Jennie: I know, and it, you know, this is in fact the whole write big process. I am going through the very thing I am teaching people to do. And- Mm-hmm When I, what I really understood finally is the reasonJennie: So one of the things, um, when Diana asked me, when she stopped me from saying all the reasons why I wanted to write this book and, and said none of these are about the reader, she understands about me that my whole career is about the reader. I, I train book coaches. I'm a book coach. I- it's what I do. And, and so she was e- then asked me to really define.Jennie: She was like, “When you're coaching someone and it's magic and it [00:16:00] just works and it's awesome, what are you doing?” And, and it was like, I'm not pulling any punches. I'm not, you know, a- and I, and I described to her an incident that just happened, and I can't say very much about it. But a very, very well-known performer was sent to me by an agent, somebody we would all know, with a book proposal that needed help.Jennie: And, and I read the proposal, and the word that was just like a neon sign flashing in my mind was timid. It just felt timid.KJ: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.Jennie: And everybody does this. Everybody shrinks to a certain extent from the thing that they know they can write, and it was like, wow, s- super famous performer who is connected to all the famous people, don't write a timid book.Jennie: Like, we don't, we don't want you to write a timid book. No. You don't want to write a timid book. And in what I do, so I, I got on the Zoom with them, and I said, [00:17:00] “This is timid. This is a timid book. You're shrinking from your authority.” And, you know, they were obviously taken aback. Um, but also then they ... It landed.Jennie: Like- Yes ... I, I see that. And that's what I do when I'm coaching someone. So, so why is that not in the book? Yeah. So the book has gotten much more confrontational, much more tough love, much, much less equivocating. It just feels- MuchKJ: less how to not do something.Jennie: Ugh. Like. It's so much more me, and I- YeahJennie: sometimes pretend like I'm a, a polite and kind and whatever, patient person. But the people that know me, you know, know I'm not actually like that, so. Anyway.KJ: And that would not be a helpful, I mean, that's not a helpful book coach.Jennie: That's right.KJ: You know, people may need that, but- For some people, give somebodyKJ: I don't, yeah. I mean, yeah. Some, sometimes. But by and large, if you give somebody [00:18:00] something and they're like, “This is great”-Jennie: Yeah.KJ: I, I mean, and maybe it's great. Yeah. It's probably not.Jennie: Yeah.KJ: You know, 99% of the time it's almost, or it's not even close, or it's ...Jennie: Yeah.KJ: Yeah.Jennie: So I've pulled off of my shelf some different books for inspiration than the ones I was using before.Jennie: Um, Austin Kleon has a really cool thing in his new book. Why can't I remember the title of his new book? It's quite hard to remember.KJ: I don't know. What does he want you to steal now?Jennie: I mean, steal, Steal Like an Artist is so memorable, and I can't remember the new, the new one. It's a good book, but he has this really cool image where he says, “Books are made of books,” and, and he has the cover of his new book with these inputs and the cover of, like, I don't know, maybe six or eight books that went into his [00:19:00] book.Jennie: You know, like the, that went through his mind to create his book, and it's really beautiful. LikeKJ: real books?Jennie: Yes.KJ: Like his cover is like if you put, I don't know, I'm look- reading titles from the back of you- you- you're behind ... Deep Work and Dare to Lead and Made to Stick, and, and you like- Yep ... fed them into a brain- YepKJ: and then it spat out your book?Jennie: Yep.KJ: Wow. Huh.Jennie: It's reallyKJ: cool. That's a, that's an interesting ...Jennie: Yeah, it'sKJ: bold.Jennie: That's really- It is bold, and it, but I do think it's, I do think it's real. And, and I had some books that were sort of ... What's weird is I wasn't reading them or studying them. I was almost like I would almost just touch them.Jennie: Like, these are the books I want my book to sit next to, to be like. And I've changed out the books that are, are that. I've pulled ... Like, I have this book that I love that is, um, by John Wooden, the basketball coach, about coaching basketball, and you know, it's about [00:20:00] coaching, and, and I've always loved that book, and I've loved how he was revered as a coach.Jennie: And you know, that, that book is now one that's informing me more. It would never be a comp title. This is a very different concept than a comp title, right? But, um, yeah, I just feel, I feel great. And, um- And folks who have been listening have heard me share some things where I've not been feeling great, and I've been feeling lost and confused, and, you know, shouldn't I know better?Jennie: I'm the coach of the coaches, and shouldn't I know better? This is my 13th book, and shouldn't I know better? And it's like, no, you always have to do the work. You just do.KJ: Well, and that's what I hope, you know, people who've been listening along to us for the years we've spent on these projects now take is, I mean, there are people who write great books really quickly.KJ: Typically, they are also people who are able to, uh, you [00:21:00] know, process and keep pots on the stove. And, you know, like Serena writes three to four books a year, and that's, uh, you know, a really hard person to have next to you at all times- Yeah, no kidding ... as I pretty much do. But I also can see that she's got pots boiling at all the time.KJ: She doesn't, you know, wake up on March 1st and say, “Okay, I wanna have a book by July 31st. What should it be about?” And, and that's not how it works for her. And, and so even though she is absolutely faster at producing quality work than, than I am, it's still, it's not that. You know, it's more like, “Okay, here's this thing that I set up before, and here's this thing that I spent, you know, a week plotting, and here's...KJ: And I'm gonna pull this, this toge- together,” and, you know, she gets stuck, but she, and she also, you know, she's full time all the time- Eh, not [00:22:00] doing, you know, that's what she does. That and promoting them. And incidentally, she had a book come out today. Uh-oh, you've gone silent for me.Jennie: Sorry, I was raving and saying she did.Jennie: Um, it was, it's called Big Stick Energy.KJ: Yeah.Jennie: And when this podcast airs, it will not have just come out today. It'll be-KJ: No, but, you know, as we talk ...Jennie: a few weeks ago. But yeah, yay Serena. Okay. Yeah. So do you have more questions for me?KJ: It was more that I just wanted to express that I, uh, felt similarly, but minus all the other people.KJ: Mm. It was a very, like I was really stewing in like, “I just can't- You know, I wanted to have, um, a, a, something that I was thinking about the whole time as I write. You know, I really wanted to know the, what the theme was and what the point was, and I just wanted to know why. Why was I doing this? And every day I would like sort of wake up [00:23:00] and, and stew more on that, and like put some more things in that.KJ: And it was like a, a 40-page Google Doc of, you know, me ranting and trying to get there. And then, then I was, I was putting words on the page, and I had 35,000 words, but I would sit down and I found the protagonist boring. She just ... The other people around her were more interesting.Jennie: That'sKJ: not aJennie: good- And- That's not a good- NoJennie: feeling.KJ: No, it was bad. And I just kept sort of poking at this, and, and it was always so ... I'd say it's, it's, um, I would call it, I would call it domestic suspense except that it, it's more of an outdoorsy book, so, you know, I don't know, campground suspense. I don't know. But, um, it's, it's not exactly a thriller.KJ: It's definitely a, a suspense novel. And it all came down to like, well, why did this [00:24:00] happen, and why and why and why? And I realized that all of it was in the past. The more interesting story was in the past, and the more interesting people were the ones who had had that past experience, and were still here in this book.KJ: And it didn't mean that, that I didn't need a second generation of people, but they needed to have been, um, honestly fed by the trauma of the thing that happened in the past, and it ... So I, at some point, I was looking for the text while we were talking, but I can't find it. I texted, um, Serena and Jess, and I was like, “Ugh, I think I gottaKJ: The, I gotta, I gotta have a second, I gotta have a dual timeline. I gotta ...” A- and Serena was like, “Stop doing this. You keep stop, you keep blowing this bo- book up. You know, just write what you're writing. Just write.” And I was like, “No, no, no, no. I really, I, I do. I do.” And, “Why?” She said, “Why?” I said, “Because that's where the interesting stuff is.”KJ: And she said, “Okay, fine.”Outro: Okay, but you said- And then she made me explain itKJ: whenOutro: we had a, a walk,KJ: but,Jennie: um- You said it didn't involve people, but that's people. [00:25:00]KJ: Oh, yeah. Yeah. But the people were saying, “No, no.” And, and she's right to do that. I'm very prone- Oh, I see. They were not- I'm a little prone to blowing, blowing things upJennie: they were not egging you on. They were saying-KJ: No. Yeah. Uh, it was, it was, you know, “Can, can you stop rethinking this book and, and write this book?” And yes, yes I can, but it needed the, the rethinking. It's, this is, it's, it's much more interesting. And, you know, it was at a point where things would kinda like, I'd come up with something and be like, “Oh, yeah, that locks into this, and this locks into this, and this locks into this,” but- The method of telling it wasn't working.KJ: It's not really a different story. The method of telling it wasn't, wasn't, wasn't working. But it really is kind of like it bugs you, and it bugs you, and it bugs you, and it bugs you, and it bugs you, and finally you just give in to it.Jennie: Well, yeah. I mean, it's a really interesting question of how do you know when you're hiding from something, or avoiding something, [00:26:00] or telling yourself a story about your story, and how do you know when you need to make a move?Jennie: I, I feel like it's very, very hard to do that in isolation. You know, even with your situation where your people were saying, “No, KJ,” that's a mirror that somebody's holding up to you where you get to decide how you feel about them saying no. Like, the point- Right ... really honest, good feedback is not that you take it all the time, it's that does this resonate with something in you or not?Jennie: And with me it was like, oh, yeah, my fine manuscript, and then, and then this tough love. I'm like, “Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it needs to change.” And you hearing that, you're like, “No. No. This...” Like, it, it was all, it all goes back to your conviction, but it's- It,KJ: it's just like the way you were using ChatGPT. ChatGPT wrote nothing, said [00:27:00] nothing, con- added nothing because he is...KJ: He. I don't, uh... You know, it is not an anything. It is a echo. It is- Yeah ... a reflection. It is an echo and a reflection of all of our work combined into, you know, a, a, a stolen creation. But e- and therefore, as far as I'm concerned, we have a right to use it however we want. But- It's not capable of producing anything original, but it is capable of reflectingJennie: That's rightKJ: And that's what you were using it for, and I think that's reallyJennie: It's really helpful when you're strategizing- Mm-hmmJennie: and sorting out your thoughts, and this is what I think I wanna do, and this is why I wanna do it, and this is why that word isn't right for that. And for me, that was just the-KJ: And the peril of it kind of is that it refuses to stopJennie: So that's what's so interesting you say that, because I... When I... So I said 12 hours.Jennie: I spent a whole lot of time on airplanes the last month, and this [00:28:00] is kind of what I would do on an airplane, is I was on airplanes that now have super fast, like that satellite hotspot- Mm-hmm ... WiFi. It's super fast. And so it was kind of fun to get to do this stuff on an airplane. And you know, I can... I love to work on airplanes, but I can't do deep work.Jennie: So I would sort of tap into this, and I was just playing, playing, playing, playing, pushing, pushing. And I did have the thought at one point: There is no friend that I have on the planet or anybody that I could pay that would stick with this as long as I'm doing it. And-KJ: That is true ...Jennie: and that was in, on some, some ways I was like thank goodness that this thing will stick with my brain, saying, “No.Jennie: No, not that word. Let's find 47 other words to think about rightKJ: now.” But you're the one saying, “No, no, no.”Jennie: Yes. Yes.KJ: Yeah.Jennie: And no humanKJ: would do that. But I do find that a peril of it, like, [00:29:00] like I was trying to use it to, to find a, a stand-up paddleboard today. This is a fine use to... And, and you know, it kept... It just keeps saying, “Well, if you'll tell me this, I could do this.KJ: And if you'll tell me this, I could...” Like, it never... It doesn't want... You know, it's not a thing, so it wants to keep you there like all things of its sort. So it's a, it's a little bit of, um It, it's, it's just something to be aware of. Like, it's, it is keeping ... Its job is to keep you in that conversation.Jennie: Yeah.Jennie: And itKJ: wa- But it is not a conversation because it is not a, it is not something that you can converse with. But so, so to use it for as far as you can get, and then as you did, to go, “Uh, and now, you know, uh, my thoughts have, have churned enough to have, have, have ... And, and you have to sort of, uh, you know, leave it going, “But wait, if you'll sugg- you know, tell, [00:30:00] I, tellKJ: Right. It- “I can still think of 452 more words for, for,” you know.Jennie: And it, and yeah. No. It's relentlessly helpful- It's relentless ... in suggesting things.KJ: Yeah,Jennie: yeah. And it's ... So on the one hand, that was lovely, and on the other hand it was like, “Just stop.” Like, the writer's job is to have an opinion or a point of view.Jennie: And-KJ: It could have any point of view ...Jennie: it will never have a point of view- No. Yeah ... or opinion that is based on anything. And so, like, your reaction to your, your longtime people who know you and know your writing, know your process, and know your goals, and know all that, y- you know, that reflection allowed you to tap back into your point of view, which is, “No, I have to have two timelines.Jennie: I have to blow this up. I have to do it differently. It's ... My protagonist is boring.”KJ: Yeah. Don't worry, future readers of this book. She's gone. [00:31:00]Jennie: But new protagonist is not boring.KJ: New protagonist is not one bit boring. It was funny ‘cause there were just some things that I, that had come from the point of view of non-protagonist characters that I was just like, “This is so much better thanKJ: Like, this is the, this is ... Like, I wanna be with this person. I don't wanna be with this person I'm ... This person just threw themselves into this,” whereas, you know, the person I was imagining and creating and, uh- Anyway, it- it's okay. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.Jennie: Um, I mean, I know you've had that thing I've had, which is I'm gonna have a draft by X, and you've had that- YeahJennie: for many, many months.KJ: The number of times I've said I'm gonna have a draft by on- Yeah ... this particular manuscript are- Really embarrassing. They're not embarrassing, it's just, you know, it, it, [00:32:00] it just, it just is. I'm trying to do something different, and doing something different takes time, and you are trying to do something big-Jennie: YeahKJ: and something that has a big shadow and a big resonance, and you can't ... You're not gonna ... That's not gonna be that way in the first or the second or the fourth or the fifth draft.Jennie: Well, you said to me ... I, I've always had a vision of this book I'm writing as, as being small. I have a couple of-KJ: Small physically, like thin.Jennie: Both. Small in length and small in trim size. Uh, uh, spare, I guess, is maybe- Yeah ... a word I, I would think of. And there's several books I have that do that, that I admire, and it's a thing I want. And you've been always saying to me, “It's really hard to write a book like that.” It's n- you don't just ... [00:33:00] Just ‘cause it's little and short doesn't mean it's easyKJ: It's hard to write short.Jennie: Yeah. And, and you've been warning me about that, and I think I really encountered that buzzsaw here. Uh, I'm like, “Ugh.” Um, so.KJ: Well, you're just trying to channel ... I think you're also trying to channel a part of yourself that mostly comes out in reaction to others.Jennie: Mm, yeah.KJ: And that's hard, because you don't have anything to react against.KJ: Yeah. You're reacting against an imaginary version. You're reacting against everyone that you've ever had to go, “That's timid.”Jennie: Yep. “KJ: That's, you know, that's not what you meant to do.” Okay, great, but I didn't ... Like, uh, this is, is, is fine writing, but why? Where does it fit? Right. What is this? What the hell are you doing?KJ: What- Right ... you know? And you're trying to write for all of those people, but as an abstraction.Jennie: That's super astute. That's super astute. And I,KJ: I'm gonna- Maybe, [00:34:00] maybe, maybe you, you address this book to, to the, this, um, unknown celebrity.Outro: Well, I actually did write thatKJ: story. Dear Taylor Swift, this is how you-Outro: Oh, gosh.Outro: Can youKJ: imagine? Don't write a ... Don't- Uh ... don't write a, a, you know- Uh ...Jennie: aKJ: timid book. And I know it wasn't Taylor. Well, I don't actually know that it wasn't Taylor. No. But it wasn't Taylor Swift, guys. It wasn't TaylorJennie: Swift. Oh, my gosh. Um, the ... Yeah, that is a really helpful thing for me to think about, actually, because I need to keep specific people in mind at specific points, and that's gonna help me.Jennie: And that's the reason why I love book coaching, is I love the back-and-forthing. Interactive nature that isKJ: very- Well, and you said to me the last time we talked about my book, I wrote it down, hold on, ‘cause it's very, [00:35:00] “What can I say that's not being said? What can I say that's offensive? How can I make people mad?”KJ: Here, do that. I'm shaking the page at Jennie. Jennie, what can you say that's not being said about writing? Why, how can you offend people? How can you hurt their feelings and make them go away and go, “That's worse. I'm not either doing that. You're soKJ: mean”?Jennie: Well, the reason I said that is because we were talking about what books ... I mean, so far listeners, Kate is obviously at a level many of us will never get to, and in her career. She is at a very high level with- SheKJ: does not feel that way.Jennie: I know. But, you know, with really big goals and, uh, big possibilities in front of her.Jennie: And so the, when we talk about it, it's like, “What will make people pick this book for their book club?” And, and that's a question anybody could ask, and should [00:36:00] ask, if that's what their goal is, to write such a book. And, you know, that's why I was saying write something offensive, because you want some book clubs to be like, “That is a book we will not touch,” because- YepJennie: that that means there are other book clubs that are gonna be like, “This is our next book, no question.” Yeah. You know?KJ: Yeah. Like, if you- And we say it all the time, you write for everyone, you write for no one, but also it's just hard to-Jennie: Well, and I haveKJ: been- Hard not to like pull your punches and back up a little and be like, “Uh, I can't mention that.KJ: I can't, I can't-” Or, “IJennie: can't be that person.” And you, as a human, I mean, I am so fortunate to be your friend, because you as a human will often say things that other people will, will maybe not say, or, you know, are maybe not super popular. And I go to you to hear those things, you know? And, and you, you say them with conviction, and I love [00:37:00] that about you.Jennie: And that should be in your book, you know?KJ: Well, I'm trying. I think it's closer. Amazing. I think it's a lot closer.Jennie: Well, if folks are getting tired of hearing us talk about this, the endless struggle and challenge and up and down and whatever, you're probably not in the right business. Because-KJ: Yeah ...Jennie: this is- IKJ: would hope this would be reassuringJennie: this is how it goes.KJ: I always wanna hear. That is part of the problem with the, the standard podcast model of talk to author whose book has just come out, because that is an author whose book has just come out. They have just, they've, they've done all this, and, and I'm not... I mean, by all means, you know, listen to podcasts about authors and then go buy their books.KJ: Um, but you know, as a writer, you just hear that and you're like, “Oh, look, they're finished. Look, that,” you know, they, they, they... And they, they'll say, “Well, there was this really low moment where, you know, the, my book pre- before [00:38:00] this got turned down,” or whatever. But they're, they're past that and, and you're just like, “Well, yeah, but that was probably really short.KJ: That was probably a blip. You probably didn't feel that the way I would've felt it.” And I,Jennie: yeah, so- Right? You hear Virginia A. Evans say she was rejected and rejected and rejected, and she finally just said, “Screw it, I'm gonna write this weird story in my head,” that turned out to be The Correspondent, you know?Jennie: And, and she tells that in three minutes on a podcast,KJ: and- Right ... I- And you're like, “Well, that, that, that was short. That can't have been very painful.”Jennie: Right? And look at what it got her, and she's fine now. But- Mm-hmm ... yeah, I'm mostly interested in talking to people when they're making the decisions that lead to whatever, whatever they're gonna make, ‘cause it's the process, man.Jennie: You gotta like the process. Yeah. Even on the days when it sucks and- Ooh ... oof, there are days when it does. They really-KJ: There, there are, [00:39:00] there are indeed Yeah. Well, but this is pretty g- like we're, we're back. We're back, kids. We're, we're- We're, we're back ... we're writing. We're, we're, we're here. We're doing it.KJ: We did. Yeah. We blew some stuff up, but now we'reKJ: building it back. Hopefully a year from now you won't be listening to the exact same podcast. We'll be like, “Here's what we said a year ago. Here's how we're blowing up our books today.” At some point everyone should be like, “You know they're never gonna finish these books.” When is that point?Outro: 2029.KJ: If we're still doing this in 2029Jennie: and talking about the same books, you can, you can all just turn off. No, I'm on fire now. I'm on fire. I am too,KJ: I swear.Jennie: Yeah, yeah.KJ: This is it.Jennie: And there's a thing that I'm doing that we could talk briefly about, ‘cause I know you're doing too, which is when you blow something up, there are parts of what you made that you can keep.Jennie: And what's part of the fun is discerning that. Yeah. And for me, I'm [00:40:00] going through the manuscript and, and saving a story here, a page there. I would say like one out of 10 maybe. One-KJ: That is not how I do it.Jennie: Mm.KJ: I start a new thing and then I will go back. Whenever I run into something that I know is in the other thing, I pull it in.Jennie: Mm. Yeah, I've beenKJ: mining- It's kind of my rule. I'm allowed, allowed to be in the other thing.Jennie: Interesting. Interesting. It'sKJ: only I have to take it ... And sometimes I don't even drop it right into the Scrivener. I'll like put it somewhere else- Yes ... and then play with it somewhere else-Outro: Interesting ...KJ: so thatKJ: Yeah, ‘cause I, I, I don't wanna Sometimes, and sometimes I will realize that revising something that I already did, even though it's good, to make it fit is actually harder than just rewriting it.Jennie: Yeah. I just really like the physical act. I, I do this physical thing. I go in and [00:41:00] I literally strike out what I'm not gonna use.Jennie: Mm. And it, it feels really satisfying. Just like, “Nope, nope, nope, nope”- Yeah ... nope. And then I'll encounter a thing I am gonna use, and I'll highlight it gray. That means it was used. And-KJ: Nice ...Jennie: it just ... I like the physicality of there are parts of this that are useful, and there's a lot of this that is not, and, and I'm making that decision.Jennie: It's gone from-KJ: Right ...Jennie: well, it's not really, it's struck out, but- Yeah ... that physical, um- Yeah.KJ: That was, that was what ... I forget the phrase that Serena used, but when I said I was doing this and I was gonna start it, and she said, “Okay, save past draft.” Like, she said something very clear. It was just, like, three words that were just like, you know, like, “Okay, but don't, don't throw it away.”KJ: That's so funny.Jennie: Which I,KJ: I wasn't going to, but yeah.Jennie: Do you feel 100% committed to the forward path now? [00:42:00]KJ: I feel 100% committed to the forward path. Thanks. This is so much more alive.Jennie: Yay. Same. That's what we're looking for, alive. Alive.KJ: Yes.Jennie: Yeah, I love it. All right.

Hva skjer når kunstig intelligens møter Europas energibehov? Kan Europa bygge teknologisk og energimessig selvstendighet og samtidig nå klimamålene? Og hvilken rolle får EU når kampen om KI også blir en kamp om energi, teknologi og geopolitisk makt?Lytt til samtalen mellom:Kjølv Egeland, Seniorforsker, NORSAR og styreleder, PF GeopolitikkPhilippe Bédos Ulvin, EU-korrespondent i Brussel, Energi og Klima og styremedlem, PF GeopolitikkSusann Wilson, prosjektkoordinator i UTSYN - Senter for sikkerhet og totalforsvar, og styreleder, PF GeopolitikkI denne episoden lærer du om KI og energi i Europa, og om hvordan Europas behov for mer datakraft og energi utfordrer ambisjonene om grønn omstilling og teknologisk selvstendighet. Vi ser nærmere på hva KI-kappløpet betyr for Europas energisystemer, og hvordan EU forsøker å styrke egen kapasitet i en tid der teknologi, energi og geopolitikk henger stadig tettere sammen.Denne podkastepisoden inngår i serien «Makt og maskin».Den sikkerhetspolitiske diskusjonen er komplisert, og informasjonsstrømmen er rask. Verdens utvikling kan oppleves som vanskelig og uhåndgripelig for hver og en av oss, til tross for den direkte virkningen den har på livene våre.Arrangement- og podkastserien “Makt og maskin” utforsker hvordan teknologi påvirker maktforhold mellom verdens stormakter og teknologiselskaper, og omvendt, og retter særlig oppmerksomheten mot hvordan disse prosessene påvirker både norske borgeres liv og Norge som stat.Takk til Fritt Ord, som gjør denne serien åpen og gratis for alle.

The case against KJ Biermann for charges of sexual assault just took a shocking unexpected twist as Kim and Kroy rally and the court serves a major blow to KJ ahead of his October arraignment. In other news, for those worried, Brielle's November wedding is still on. Luann gets very drunk, the cast screams intervention and Teresa amuses us beyond our wildest dreams. Last, but not least, Vicki bans her RHOC cast members, annoys the audience even more, makes an attempt on RHUGT and, in a shocking move no one saw coming, is defended hard core by Andy Cohen. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) POM - pomwonderful.com (Check Out POM Wonderful Antioxidant Super Teas) SMILESET - smileset.com/velvet (Get 35% Off The Smile Of Your Dreams) NATURES SUNSHINE - naturessunshine.com (Use Code Velvetrope For 20% Off Your First Order Plus Free Shipping On Clean, Natural Supplements For Cognitive Support, Healthy Skin & More) REAL REAL - realreal.com/velvetrope ($25 Off Your First Purchase On The Most Trusted Name In Authenticated Luxury Resale) TIMELINE- Timeline.com/VELVETROPE (Timeline Is Offering a 15 Day Trial Of The Mitopure Resurfacing Exfoliator For Just $22) AUDIBLE - audible.com/VELVET (New Members Start Listening w/ a 30 Day Free Trial This Massive Library Of Audiobooks & Ad-Free Podcasts) INDEED - indeed.com/PODCAST (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Job The Premium Status It Deserves) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Catholic Money Mastermind - Financial Planning conversations with Catholic CFP® Practitioners
Today, Ben Martinek and new co-host Deb Meyer welcome KJ Smith of Ethos Logos Investments for a thoughtful conversation on artificial intelligence through the lens of Catholic social teaching. Using a recent papal document on AI as their guide, they explore a question that reaches far beyond technology itself: what makes us human, and how can we ensure AI serves rather than diminishes our humanity? KJ explains why the Church's concerns are not a rejection of AI, but an invitation to consider how rapidly advancing technology affects human relationships, creativity, responsibility, dignity, and the common good. Together, Ben, Deb, and KJ examine the dangers of replacing authentic community with frictionless artificial interactions, concentrating enormous power within unaccountable technology companies, allowing algorithms to make consequential decisions without a moral compass, and prioritizing efficiency and profit over human flourishing. They also consider AI's tremendous potential, from eliminating menial work and synthesizing information to improving medicine and helping professionals become more productive, while sharing practical examples of how they use AI in their own lives and businesses. The conversation ultimately calls Catholics to neither fear nor blindly embrace artificial intelligence, but to engage it thoughtfully—preserving human judgment, accepting responsibility for how it is used, considering its impact on the poor and vulnerable, and remembering that no technology, however sophisticated, can replace the dignity, creativity, relationships, and capacity for love that belong uniquely to the human person.Key Takeaways:• The Church's concerns about AI are not an argument that using artificial intelligence is inherently sinful.• Catholic social teaching provides a framework for evaluating new technologies according to enduring truths about human dignity and the common good.• AI can appear authoritative and objective while still reflecting biases within its data and development.• Human accountability must remain part of AI-assisted decision-making rather than allowing people or institutions to deflect responsibility onto an algorithm.• Deb's experience with AI note-taking illustrates the importance of continually reassessing whether a technology actually improves human presence and professional service.• AI should ultimately remain subordinate to human flourishing: efficiency, productivity, and profit are valuable, but they cannot replace love of God, love of neighbor, human judgment, or responsibility.Key Timestamps:(01:28) – Encyclical, Not Anti-AI(04:30) – What Makes Us Human(10:52) – AI Bias and Homogenization(14:00) – Accountability and Regulation(24:08) – AI Benefits and Guardrails(34:36) – Investing with Caution and EthicsKey Topics Discussed:Catholic Money Mastermind, Catholic financial planning, Catholic financial planners, Catholic financial advisors, Ben Martinek, faith and financesMentions:Website: https://ethoslogosinvestments.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kj-smith-cfp-qpfc/ Ethos Logos Investments provides Investment Advisory Services through Discipline Wealth Solutions, an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

KJ Dillard is the definition of a multi-hyphenate. Before he became a Summer House fan favorite, KJ was a professional skateboarder, genre-defying musician, and model. How has he managed to achieve all of these dreams so fervently? He won't allow anyone to put him in a box. Growing up in Kansas and Arizona, KJ learned early on how to adapt to different circumstances. Initially, he was part of a well-to-do community, but his parents' divorce shifted everything, and he soon found himself in an entirely new world. KJ leaned into his interests and started a band with friends from church, where he rapped and sang as their frontman. He also began to take skateboarding seriously, even though it wasn't very popular. KJ became engrossed in skate culture, obsessing over its rebellious nature and style. His interest blossomed into a nearly ten-year career as a professional skateboarder, during which he inadvertently invented a never-before-seen trick and attracted the attention of the entire skating community. Like that accidentally career-defining moment, KJ seems destined for greatness, no matter the medium.As the first Black male Summer House castmate, KJ had to learn to navigate the new world of reality television with millions of eyes watching. Ever graceful, he's taking the lessons and carrying them into another season. In our conversation, we talk about what it means to give yourself grace when you live and date in the public eye, and how he manages the pressure of being “the first.” KJ models the kind of transparency he hopes inspires other men to open up and share more deeply about what they're feeling. He opened up about his childhood experiences with living with undiagnosed ADHD and having to live with his grandmother. KJ shares that his love for skateboarding has never left him and now serves as a space for self-care. We also cover his return to music and how excited he is to try a new genre and sound. As is his nature, KJ is turning back to the creative outlets that brought him joy as a kid, except now he's sharing them with the world.Tune in as we discuss:0:00 Welcome KJ4:05 Preparing For The Spotlight5:00 Growing Up In Arizona and Kansas5:25 How His Parents' Divorce Changed Their Lives6:25 His Early ADHD Symptoms7:25 KJ's Relationship With His Grandmother8:10 Comparing His Life To His Cousins9:35 Why He Chases Success10:00 KJ's Introduction To Skateboard Culture11:50 The 90s Black Skateboarders Who Inspired Him12:45 Unspoken Skateboard Rules 13:30 His Favorite Skateboard Looks15:50 Iconic Skateboard Brands17:45 Accidentally Inventing A Skateboard Trick20:25 Navigating Reality Television23:15 His Awkward Tyler The Creator Meetup30:00 Pre-Public Appearance Prep30:45 Why KJ Gatekeeps Some Things31:50 His Signature Look33:45 When He Became Interested In Music39:15 Microagressions In The Fashion Industry40:12 Dating In The Public Eye41:25 What He's Learning About Himself 42:20 Emotional Vulnerability Among Friends43:55 KJ's Self-Care Routine45:45 When He Feels The Most BeautifulRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on AppleJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanetThanks for all the love and support.

This week on the CWW Jim and KJ bring you the crime news headlines and they start with a California high school football booster treasurer accused of draining more than $411,000 from the team that trusted her with the books—money prosecutors say went to a mortgage and credit cards while she sent the board cooked reports. In Massachusetts, three jurors from the Lindsay Clancy trial break their silence after the mistrial, walking through the 11–1 deadlock, the holdout who admitted reasonable doubt and still would not vote not guilty by reason of insanity, and the evidence that left the rest of the panel convinced she had snapped. In St. Petersburg, a woman pumping gas is set on fire by a stranger after she refuses to hand over cash; Eleanor Crawford now faces attempted murder and arson. And in Chicago, a 15-year-old girl is charged with first-degree murder after police say she and two others pushed Kyle Bickham from a moving CTA Red Line train.We also take you inside You Can See Everything, the surprise documentary that followed Elizabeth Holmes in the weeks before she reported to prison—and the questions it raises about whether the Theranos founder has changed at all. A retired Pennsylvania priest is accused of stealing about $740,000 from churches, parishioners, and his own mother. Kim Zolciak's 15-year-old son, KJ Biermann, is in custody on serious sex-crime charges his family says he denies. In North Carolina, a state trooper is indicted for first-degree murder after a love triangle with another cop ends with a sheriff's captain dead in a front yard. A Swamp People star is booked in Louisiana on felony theft after a raid in Bayou Blue. And a former Colorado crime-lab analyst is sentenced to 10 years for manipulating DNA data in hundreds of cases—work that helped vacate at least one murder conviction and left sexual-assault files gutted.In Overtime: a Baton Rouge woman's mugshot takes off online; the hunt continues in California for a father and his 14-year-old daughter after a newborn is found dead on a roadside; Georgia police want a man they say snuck into a stranger's hot tub, spent more than 10 minutes “intensely interacting” with a rubber duck, and rode off with a pile of towels; and in Sacramento, a woman who reported months of stalking—AirTags, a copied apartment key, a restraining order—is gunned down in a parking lot by the man who would not stop.Theft, fire, a train platform, a jury room that never quite closed, and a few stories that sound made up until the charging documents land.

You can now leave me a voicemail directly at https://podline.fm/the-georgio-says-podcast — drop your questions, hot takes, confessions, comments, or anything you want to spill to me about, and I will be playing them and reacting right here on the podcast! Plus, keep an eye out this Saturday for the official premiere of Leave a Message, our brand-new dedicated weekly series built entirely around your voicemails.It's Thursday, September 17th, and Georgio is jumping into a heavy, emotional, and news-packed episode covering major franchise premieres and jaw-dropping legal updates.First, we tackle a newly surfaced 911 dispatch audio obtained by Plunder Studios regarding Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's home. A neighbor called authorities to report 15-year-old KJ and his younger brother throwing lit firecrackers and screaming obscenities toward an adjacent equestrian park where people and children were riding horses. Georgio breaks down the pattern of parental neglect, the lack of supervision, and why Kim and Kroy need to be held accountable for fostering an environment where dangerous behavior has gone unchecked for years.Then, we dive into a fascinating financial update on Dorit and PK Kemsley's Encino mansion. Rather than facing a standard foreclosure auction, a newly filed legal document shows that PK formed an entity to purchase the second lender's debt secured by the property. Georgio explains the chess move behind buying the note, how it impacts the pending court-ordered sale, and what the best-case scenario looks like for Dorit as she prepares to walk away with zero debt and zero liabilities.Next, we recap The Real Housewives of New York City Season 16, Episode 2. From Erin and Jessel's fragile truce to Jessel bizarrely grilling Carole Radziwill about Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy at Sai's impromptu birthday brunch, Georgio unpacks why Carole walked out, Erin's out-of-pocket Hurricane Katrina comparison regarding her Hamptons pipe burst, and why the new ensemble dynamic is officially hitting its stride.Finally, we head to the mountains for the raw, tear-jerking Season 7 premiere of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Georgio gives an honest, emotional review of how the cast rallied around Mary Cosby following the heartbreaking loss of her son, Robert Jr. Plus, we look at Heather Gay debuting her new romance with Tripp, Lisa Barlow making gourmet grilled cheese for her sons, and Whitney Rose navigating the cracks in her marriage with Justin.Grab your tissues and hit play—this is an episode you won't want to skip.THE GEORGIO SAYS HOTLINE Leave me a voicemail with your question, hot take, confession or comment!

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses allegations of sexual assault and sexual misconduct involving minors. Listener discretion is strongly advised. At only 15 years old, Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr., son of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak and former Atlanta Falcons player Kroy Biermann, is facing seven felony charges stemming from an alleged sexual assault involving another minor. But the headlines only tell part of this story.
In this episode of Unspeakable, KJ sits down with Assistant District Attorney Brad Casio as he recounts the prosecution of Charles Smith.Charles A. Smith, 28, of Denham Springs, was already wanted for SA in neighboring Tangipahoa Parish when he took the woman and her toddler at gunpoint from the parking lot. He forced them into a stolen white Chrysler PT Cruiser and drove them north across parish lines—through Livingston, into St. Helena, and on toward Tangipahoa. Along that stretch of Highway 16, the kidnapping became something far worse.Unspeakable on Patreon!CLICK HERE

Kim Zolciak's son KJ has been charged with 7 felonies, spent time in jail and has stayed quiet while Kim, Kroy and his lawyer say he is innocent. Brandi Glanville defends KJ but the lady doth protest too much, methinks. No Brandi, this is not about Caroline Manzo. In other news, Carole Radziwill explains the real reason she joined this season of RHONY as Bravo fans everywhere weigh in on the premiere. Phaedra confirms she is dating “castle daddy” CT.

Episode 168 Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: A Jumpstart Toward Change Watch Now https://youtu.be/arzMwx7zsQ4 Listen Now Description In this episode of Finding Peaks, Chris sits down with KJ Jones, a member of our Nursing team and a Peaks Recovery Centers alumni, to talk about his own experience at Peaks and the role Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can play in the recovery process. KJ explains what TMS is, how the treatment works, and why it can serve as a “jumpstart” for people who may be struggling to move forward. Together, Chris and KJ discuss how we can continue changing the way we help people, the importance of having people who genuinely care in your corner, and the willingness to make meaningful changes in your life. They also talk about what it means to move beyond simply surviving and begin feeling comfortable in your own life, along with the role physical activity can play in recovery and overall well-being. From KJ's journey as a Peaks alumni to his work helping others today, this conversation is a look at hope, change, and finding the willingness to take that next step. Talking Points Introduction to the Show Meet KJ KJ's experience at Peaks TMS as a “jumpstart” The process of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Changing how we help people Being comfortable, not just surviving Having people who care Willingness to change The importance of physical activity Closing thoughts Quotes "With TMS, I really felt like it did kick start my treatment.” - KJ Jones Episode Transcripts
KJ sits down with Jacob Albaugh and Mike Herne with Tenet to talk about the problem nobody in the suppressor market had solved — how to get muzzle brake-level recoil reduction without the weight, the length, or the hearing damage. Jacob walks through the unlikely origin story, from filling a Savage .30-06 stock with Bondo and lead wheel weights just to tame the recoil, to cutting apart a suppressor and welding a muzzle brake onto it in a local shop, to the patented 3D-printed titanium designs Tenet builds today. Mike shares the bear hunt that made it click for him: one shot he couldn't spot and a bear that disappeared into the brush, and another later that season where the Limited kept him on target at 430 yards off a rock and a pack. The guys get into caliber-specific suppressor design, why timing your brake matters and how to do it, what additive manufacturing makes possible that standard machining never could, and they reveal Tenet's new Vesper series — a quiet-first counterpart to the recoil-first Limited line. Plus a look at where things stand on the NFA front and what it means for hunters.This Gun Talk Hunt is brought to you by Savage Arms, EOTech, Range Ready Studios, Fiocchi USA, and Shooting Sports Life.About Gun Talk HuntGun Talk Media's Gun Talk Hunt, with Kevin “KJ” Jarnagin, pairs decades of experience with today's latest tools and technology to help you succeed in the field.

In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11 with Michael Davis and Karl "KJ" Johnson. Each guest brings a different perspective: Abdu was a recent convert from Islam at the time, Derek and Michael were atheists, Michael later joined the military because of 9/11, and KJ was already serving when the attacks happened. Together, they reflect on where they were, how America changed, what 9/11 revealed about evil, Islam, patriotism, public trust, and how their faith now shapes the way they look back.
