Welcome Arizona native, Mace Santa Maria! We cover Mace's move from Phoenix to Nashville four years ago, following a formative year at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. She discusses learning the drums at age 10, major influences like the Jonas Brothers' drummer Jack Lawless (whom she recently met), and how Broadway demands fast adaptation through cues, band-specific arrangements, and on-the-fly decisions. Mace breaks down her unique Pelican-case rig, Nashville do's and don'ts, and opportunities for live streaming and subscription-based content. She details touring with indie-pop artists Brooke Alexx, 76th Street, and Tornsey, building Ableton show transitions, maintaining health and alone time on the road to avoid burnout, and the importance of LGBTQ+ community and representation in her career. We hope you enjoy!Chapters:0:00 Intro1:53 Welcome, Mace! 4:31 Broadway Connections 6:48 What's for Breakfast? 9:52 From Phoenix to Nashville 12:48 Early Drumming Roots 16:21 Meeting A Childhood Hero 19:35 Broadway Survival Skills 28:49 Rezo Custom Drum Heads (Sponsor) 29:53 Broadway Rig Rundown 37:35 TikTok vs Instagram 42:07 Drum Box (Sponsor) 42:49 Queer Pop Tour Scene 53:50 Ableton Show Builds 56:29 Staying Healthy On Tour 1:01:24 Birthday Plans 1:03:55 Low Boy Beaters (Sponsor) 1:04:37 Pizza/Candy Debate 1:10:54 Drum Supply (Sponsor) 1:11:52 Tour Highlights and Burnout 1:16:57 Music City Audiology 1:17:39 Charting and Music Education 1:29:09 Groove MPL (Sponsor) 1:30:20 Home Studio and Iron Maiden Mic 1:35:05 Tattoos and Hobbies 1:41:09 OutroThank you to our Episode Sponsors:Rezo Custom Drum Headshttps://rezoheads.comDrum Boxhttps://drumbox.spaceDrum Supplyhttps://www.drumsupply.comLow Boy Beatershttps://lowboybeaters.comMusic City Audiologyhttps://www.musiccityaudiology.comConnect with Mace:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/santamariuhhhYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@santamariuhhhTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@santamariuhhhMusic Featured in this Episode:"She's My Handsome" - 76th StreetSupport the showConnect with us:WebsiteInstagramTikTokYouTubeFacebookRecorded at Garden Groove Recording Space, Nashville, TNPodcast Artwork: GENUINE CREATIVE ART ⓒ 2026 Nashville Drummers Podcast, LLC

In Fishing Without Bait 526, we continue our conversation with Vic Costik of the New Rust Pittsburgh Podcast. In Part 2, Vic joins Jim Ellermeyer for a thoughtful discussion about identity, community, safety, recovery and the daily work of becoming a more compassionate person. Vic explains why they try to approach ignorance through “neutral inquiry,” beginning with questions rather than immediate confrontation. The conversation examines the experiences of transgender people navigating public spaces, the importance of listening to people when they tell us who they are and the need to create communities in which people feel welcomed rather than merely tolerated. Vic also discusses their commitment to Pittsburgh's LGBTQ+ community and the fear that has caused some transgender people to leave their homes in search of safer places. That concern helped inspire Vic's community involvement and ultimately contributed to the creation of New Rust Pittsburgh. Jim and Vic connect these ideas to the principles of 12-step recovery, including acceptance, accountability, making amends and changing both thoughts and actions. They consider the pain of perfectionism and the healing that can begin when we acknowledge our flaws, accept responsibility and reconstruct ourselves through what we have learned. The conversation then turns toward the overlooked side of Pittsburgh. Vic describes the artists, entrepreneurs, makers, small businesses and unusual creative communities that exist throughout the city. From strangers playing music together before the Fourth of July fireworks to the Andy Warhol Museum, neighborhood restaurants, local shops and nighttime bike rides across the Smithfield Street Bridge, Vic shares the memories that have made Pittsburgh feel like home. The episode closes with a discussion about authenticity, privilege, personal boundaries and relationships. Vic reflects on overcoming people-pleasing, cultivating relationships with people who provide encouragement and stepping away from relationships that repeatedly cause harm. Ultimately, New Rust Pittsburgh is more than a guide to interesting places. It is Vic's effort to create a love letter to Pittsburgh—one that embraces the city's people, creativity, weirdness and potential to become a more welcoming home for everyone.

Some of the best leadership lessons don't come from business books. Throughout history, different cultures have developed wisdom for how we can interact with and lead others. By exploring what different cultures value, we can identify insights into what might help us be better managers today.Dr. Joel A. Davis Brown is an attorney, executive leadership consultant, and author of The Souls of Queer Folk. Drawing on lessons from LGBTQ+ cultural values and decades of leadership consulting, he helps organizations build more inclusive, perceptive, and human-centered leadership practices.In this episode, we explore how the unique values of the LGBTQ+ community offer a powerful blueprint for transformational leadership.

In Episode 525 of Fishing Without Bait, Jim Ellermeyer welcomes Vic Costik for Part 1 of a conversation about community, authenticity, connection, and finding the courage to become more fully yourself. Vic is a designer, community advocate, and the creator of New Rust, a podcast exploring Pittsburgh's transformation through the individual stories of people doing interesting things throughout the city. Growing up surrounded by the enormous crowds of New York City, Vic expected proximity to people to create connection. Instead, it was moving to Pittsburgh that showed him what community could truly feel like. Vic talks with Jim about discovering Pittsburgh's LGBTQ community, building a found family, participating in the city's creative and wonderfully unusual spaces, and realizing how helping others can create a support network in return. From jam nights and local zines to simply meeting people doing something they care about, Vic explains why Pittsburgh's smaller communities became so important to him. The conversation also explores judgment, curiosity, and what can happen when we approach unfamiliar experiences with a willingness to listen instead of immediately forming conclusions. Vic shares stories of talking with coworkers who had little or no previous experience with transgender people and choosing conversation as an opportunity to create understanding. Vic also reflects candidly on his own journey toward authenticity. He discusses growing up without the language to understand what he was experiencing, repressing parts of himself, getting married to his high school sweetheart, and eventually recognizing that the life he was living did not feel like his own. As Vic puts it, transitioning allowed him to “meet myself for the 1st time.” What followed was more than a change in identity. Vic discovered a version of himself who loves being around people, participating in his community, sharing ideas, and embracing the wonderfully weird interests that make each person unique. This is Part 1 of our conversation with Vic Costik. The conversation continues in the next episode of Fishing Without Bait. Learn more about Vic's New Rust podcast at NewRustPodcast.com.

Dominik Krause ist Münchens erster, offen queerer Bürgermeister. Aber queere Repräsentation hat im Münchener Stadtrat eine lange Geschichte. Thomas Niederbühl, Mitgründer der Partei Rosa Liste München, war von 1996 bis 2026 im Stadtrat und engagiert sich seit den 1980ern für die LGBTQ-Community in München. Wir haben ihm zum Gespräch getroffen. Wie viel hat sich seit den 1980ern an der queeren Sichtbarkeit verändert? Welche Herausforderungen stellen sich heute? Und warum ist queere Sichtbarkeit im Stadtrat so wichtig?

In dieser Folge des Next Level Leadership Podcasts spricht Julia Peters mit einer faszinierenden Gästin – der Neurodiversitäts-Expertin und Gründerin des Europäischen Instituts für Neurodivergenz, Coachin und ehemaligen Konzernmanagerin Sabine Buch. Sabine, selbst neurodivergent, teilt ihre persönliche Reise: von der Kindheit, in der sie den Fernseher auf den Boden warf, um die „kleinen Menschen darin“ zu finden, bis zu ihrer heutigen Mission, Neurodivergenz in Wirtschaft und Bildung sichtbar zu machen und mehr Verständnis zu schaffen. Das Gespräch dreht sich um die Chancen und Herausforderungen von Neurodivergenz – ein Thema, das immer noch von Vorurteilen und Unwissen geprägt ist. Sabine erklärt, warum Neurodivergenz kein Nischenthema ist, sondern ein echter Gamechanger, wofür sich viel mehr Menschen interessieren sollten. Sie entlarvt Mythen (nein, nicht jeder Autist ist wie Rain Man!), spricht über die Dunkelziffern und die dramatischen Folgen von Nicht-Erkennen: von Burnout über Depressionen bis hin zu einer 13 Jahre verringerten Lebenserwartung bei ADHS-Betroffenen. Doch es geht auch um die Stärken: Neurodivergente Menschen sind oft kreativ, querdenkend und loyal – wenn sie in einem Umfeld arbeiten dürfen, das ihre Bedürfnisse respektiert. Sabine plädiert für klare Kommunikation, Flexibilität und Offenheit in Teams und zeigt, wie Führungskräfte mit einfachen Mitteln (z. B. drei-Wort-Sätze statt langatmiger E-Mails) Neurodivergenz fördern können. Ihr Credo: „Es geht nicht darum, ob jemand diagnostiziert ist, sondern was die Person braucht, um sich wohl und sicher zu fühlen.“ Besonders spannend wird es, wenn Sabine über ihre eigenen Unternehmen spricht: das Europäische Institut für Neurodivergenz, das Unternehmen und Schulen aufklärt, ausbildet und zertifiziert, oder ihre Arbeit mit #ImpactNow, einer Initiative, die Deutschland „back on stage“ bringen will. Ihr Appell: „Wir müssen aufhören, Neurodivergenz defizitorientiert zu betrachten. Es ist eine andere Form von Intelligenz – und die brauchen wir dringend für die Zukunft.“ Ein Podcast, der aufrüttelt, informiert und Mut macht – für Führungskräfte, Bildungsinstitute und Betroffene und alle, die eine inklusivere Arbeitswelt gestalten wollen und so bislang nicht genutzte Möglichkeiten für uns alle erschließen möchten. Zitate von Sabine zum Mitnehmen: „Ich bin die Frau, die ganz ohne PowerPoint beim Vorstand steht – und das mache ich aus Prinzip so. Da wird mir keiner reinreden.“ „Wir sind heute da, wo wir vor 25 Jahren mit der LGBTQ+-Community waren: Neurodivergenz muss normal werden.“ „Wenn du einen neurodivergenten Menschen in deinem Team hast, der sich wohlfühlt, dann hast du ein Goldstück.“ Für deine Leadership-Praxis: Neuroinklusive Führung - so geht's… 1. Offenheit fördern: Teammitgliedern ermöglichen, neurodivergente Bedürfnisse ohne Stigmatisierung zu kommunizieren. 2. Kommunikation vereinfachen: Klare, einfache Sprache nutzen – kein Fachjargon, keine vagen Begriffe wie „ASAP“. 3. Flexibilität bieten: Arbeitsumgebungen und Regelungen (z. B. Urlaub) individuell anpassen. 4. Stärken gezielt einsetzen: Buddy-Systeme und Fokusinteressen fördern, um Expertenwissen zu nutzen. 5. Bewertungssysteme hinterfragen: Karrierebrüche nicht als Schwäche werten – Potenziale und Bedürfnisse stehen im Vordergrund. 6. Awareness schaffen: Schulungen und sichtbare Vorbilder etablieren, um Neurodiversität zu normalisieren. Tipps für Betroffene – Kurzfassung - Selbstakzeptanz: "Ich bin cool, so wie ich bin – ich habe eine Superpower." - Community: Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten (z. B. Neurodiversity Circle). - Strategien: Coping-Mechanismen (Timer, Routinen) und Tools (Fidget Spinner, Noise-Cancelling-Kopfhörer) nutzen. - Offenheit: Langsam testen, wie viel das Umfeld verträgt – Vorbilder (z. B. meine Gästin Sabine Buch) motivieren.

Creating a truly affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community starts before a client ever walks through your door. Most therapists have good intentions, but good intentions are not the same as knowing what to actually do.In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Eric Sullivan, a proud queer therapist and founder of Proud Practice, who spent a year traveling the globe and came home with a renewed sense of purpose. From Argentina to Scandinavia to Southeast Asia, Eric experienced firsthand how differently the queer community is treated around the world, and it deepened his commitment to helping therapy practices become fully LGBTQ+ inclusive from the inside out.In This Episode, We Explore…How traveling solo for a year across four continents shaped Eric's mission to serve the LGBTQ+ community.What queer clients are looking for before they even book a session.Three practical steps therapists can take right now to signal safety and affirmation.Why asking about sexual orientation, gender identity, and pronouns in your intake is non-negotiable.How Eric's new training program and quiz at proudpractice.com/quiz helps practices assess and improve where they already are.Connect with Eric:Proud Practice affirming therapy quiz https://www.proudpractice.com/quizProud Counseling https://www.proudcounseling.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/proudpractice/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/proudpracticeAre you ready to take the plunge and become a Traveling Therapist?

Judson shares a fashion sensibility with Brian's ten year-old daughter and celebrates a victory at work. Brian prioritizes scheduling a surgery over attending his favorite sex party and responds to some online hate about his parenting that he can't ignore. The Hookup of the Week paints a detailed picture of a sub's annual trip to New York to see his dom. Brian and Judson then launch the Dads and Daddies Book Club with the arrival of guest John Paul Brammer, famed LGBTQ+ advice columnist and author of ¡Hola Papi! How to Come Out in a Walmart Parking Lot and Other Life Lessons. John Paul tells Brian and Judson all about the origin of his ¡Hola Papi! advice column, how he overcame the feeling that he didn't have the authority to give advice, and shares how he feels now that he's retired his column after eight years. He also provides a sneak peek at his next two books, and responds to Brian's ask for advice by giving his thoughts about steeling oneself against internet commenters. John Paul then goes all the way to the top to discuss his Daddy Issue, which is his recent fascination with Jesus, particularly the comforting discovery that he may not have been attractive, and talks about the time he almost converted to Judaism for a boyfriend. The episode ends with the renowned advice giver joining Brian and Judson in responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who is curious about the etiquette of hooking up when one is hanging out with friends.

“When [Jesus Christ] interacted with people whose lives did not align with God's design, he showed both clarity and compassion. And compassion is huge.” Join Heather Neault and Rev. Gary Martin in this episode as they tackle one of the toughest questions Christians face today: How should Christians interact with the LGBTQ+ community, whether it's family members, neighbors, or coworkers? And how do we do this without compromising on the Word? This episode touches on topics like God's desire for all mankind to be saved, how to extend compassion and refrain from judgment with others, what living God's love in that manner does for them, maintaining boundaries, having integrity in living the Word in our own lives, and so much more. With this topic so prevalent in our society today, this is an important conversation—one rich with God's love and goodness—that you won't want to miss.

In today's political climate, the term gender-affirming care is often framed as controversial and used synonymously with “transgender for everyone.” In reality, gender-affirming care includes a wide range of medical, mental health, and supportive services that both cisgender and transgender people access every day to align their bodies, health, and well-being with their gender.In this episode, we're exploring what gender-affirming care actually is, its history and evolution, and the medical and political landscape shaping the conversation today.Additional Resources:Read Besties in CrimeGender Incongruence and Transgender Health in the ICDGender-Affirming Care for Cisgender People: Q&A with Theodore Schall and Jacob MosesTo Protect Gender-Affirming Care, We Must Learn From Trans HistoryWhat is Gender Dysphoria?Magnus Hirschfeld and the Quest for Sexual Freedom: A History of the First International Sexual Freedom Movement (Critical Studies in Gender, Sexuality, and Culture)Elmer Belt, Harry Benjamin, and the Birth of Gender-Affirming Surgery in the United StatesTransgender Health Protections Reversed By Trump AdministrationPuberty Blockers for Transgender and Gender-Diverse YouthWhat are Puberty Blockers?

Now an Oxford-trained theologian, David helps church leaders navigate what might be the most challenging pastoral question we face—without defaulting to culture war scripts that leave everyone exhausted.What makes this conversation different is David's refusal to choose sides. He introduces a framework of "solidarity and holy fellowship" that holds radical inclusion and biblical holiness together, creating space for people to wrestle authentically with hard questions. If you've felt trapped between being dismissed as either too affirming or too exclusionary, David offers language for a third way forward, one that doesn't sacrifice either welcome or conviction.This is pastoral theology from someone who lives the tension daily, offering church leaders practical wisdom for walking with people through messy, beautiful journeys toward Jesus.David Bennett is author of "A War of Loves" and holds a PhD in Christian ethics from Oxford University.Want more resources for your leadership journey?

Pattie was a strong woman through and through. She learned everything she knew about raising and caring for animals and growing crops from her parents  and the land she grew up on.  Because of her experience on the farm plus her ability to drive and operate farm machinery, etc, she was available to help out her country during WWII. This enabled her to be active during the Land Army, in New Zealand. Josh shares how she had a wonderful sense of humor (Irish family roots), taught Josh how to sew, cook, play cards, knit and so much more. Josh willingly admits that he was a mama's boy and as he says he "hung onto her apron strings."As Josh was getting ready to move away from home for a new job, he was desperate to share a very personal story with his mother. She'd already survived breast cancer shortly after her was born, but now the cancer was back. She refused chemo and radiation, so Josh was afraid this might me the last time he'd see his mother. Just as he was about to go out the door, he spoke to his mother and revealed what he'd been hiding inside for decades.  She was un perplexed and finished his statement before he had a chance to share what he wanted to say.  That was just a little bit of the magic of Pattie.She regularly took care of her neighbors. Whether because of an illness or just in need of company, she was always there to help other. Pattie was also very curious, especially regarding her friends and neighbors in this rural farming area. Josh shares some very funny stories about the phone in his house.The work that Josh is doing with "The Litter Club Network is so important.

The first American pope, Leo XIV, is making waves by unapologetically restoring traditional Catholic doctrine on marriage, family, and the dignity of life. His early remarks have sparked outrage among progressive activists, but they also mark a sharp turn away from the ambiguities of the Francis papacy. We're going to see the historical and theological roots of Pope Leo's views, exposing the irony of modern progressives advocating for pre-Christian values under the guise of "inclusion."--Head to http://twc.health/turley and use code TURLEY to SAVE $90 off plus Free Shipping *The content presented by sponsors may contain affiliate links.

They are the ones who want to return to the darkness of a world closed off from the heavenly life that has broken into our world in and through Christ and his body, the church.”“Progression always, by definition, involves return, as time itself is increasingly transfigured by the light of eternal and everlasting glory.”Timestamps: [01:07] Pope Leo XIV's first statements on marriage and life[04:36] Media and activist backlash to traditional doctrine [06:50] The contrast between Greco-Roman and Christian views on gender and family[11:00] Why true progress lies in a return to eternal truths--Thank you for taking the time to listen to this episode.
