He created and produced, ‘The Cork Dorks'. The show was hosted with Adam and his good friend Jeremy West. It was the first of its kind. It began focusing on central coast wineries but as the show grew, so did their ability to travel and meet other winemakers they found everywhere from Napa to Bordeaux that adopted that same Central Coast quality of people willing to share their wines, and their stories. As the area's producer's grew, soon Adam's interview's covered everything from spirits, craft beer, cider, cuisine, hospitality, and more. Fast forward to today, the spirit and enthusiasm cultivated with the award winning show, is reborn as The Pour with Adam Montiel, this time independently, and unfettered by corporate authority leaving it even more free to share the journey of making wine more approachable and fun for everyone. Here, We Taste It. We Spill It. We Leave it All On the Table. This is ‘The Pour' with Adam Montiel.__________Sincere Thanks to those who support The Pour.

What can golf teach us about business, leadership, and personal growth? A lot more than you might think. In this special episode of Career Can Do, Chris Sandland, Director of Operations at Faremouth & Company, steps in as our host, Mary Ann. Chris sits down with Joe Bronson, CEO of The Bronson Group and author of books Golf Chronicles, Through The Green, and Pardon Me. 50 Years of Gold, One Hole at a Time. With decades of experience in both the boardroom and on the golf course, Joe shares stories and insights that show how the game mirrors life, from ethics and decision-making to handling setbacks and building relationships. Joe has played 93 of the top 100 golf courses in the U.S. and even had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of playing a round with golf legend Arnold Palmer. But beyond the prestige and unforgettable moments, Joe sees golf as a powerful tool for connection and leadership development. Whether he's navigating a challenging par three or a major business decision, the mindset is often the same: know your skill set, take smart risks, and stay focused on the present. He explains, “In business, just like in golf, emotion can ruin you. You have to keep things in balance, stay disciplined, and respond to the situation in front of you, not the one behind you.” Chris and Joe also explore how golf can still be a relevant networking tool, even in today's digital-first world. Joe argues that spending four hours on a course with someone tells you more about them than a dozen Zoom meetings ever could. And he's seen firsthand how a well-timed piece of advice from someone who believes in you, even a caddie, can shift your entire approach. Now retired from corporate life, Joe focuses on giving back. All proceeds from his book support youth golf and university programs, including The First Tee, which helps underprivileged kids learn the game while gaining life skills. If you're a leader, a golfer, or just someone trying to make good decisions in work and life, this episode offers timeless lessons, and a few great stories, from someone who's walked both the fairway and the executive floor.

What do Land Deeds in Nauvoo have to do with D&C 132? It turns out there is a controversy where an argument is made for and against 132 being legit vs forgery. Mary Ann Clements weighs in on the controversy. Check out our conversation with Mary Ann about her chapter in Secret Covenants...

Recent research delving into Nauvoo land deeds offers fascinating insights, not only into Joseph Smith's financial dealings but also into the controversy surrounding early polygamy. Mary Ann Clemens, one of the authors in "Secret Covenants: New Insights into Mormon Polygamy," highlights how land deeds have become a focal point for both proving and disproving claims about Joseph Smith's early practice of polygamy. The William Clayton Journal: Forgery or Validation? One of the central debates in skeptical circles concerns whether the William Clayton Journal is a forgery. Mary Ann Clemens disagrees with this argument. Her reasoning, and the focus of her recent research, involves the detailed examination of Nauvoo land deeds, specifically those made on July 12, 1843, to Emma Smith. Don Bradley's Argument for Validation: According to Don Bradley, the July 12, 1843 deeds to Emma Smith serve as an element that confirms or validates the William Clayton diaries. This date is significant because it's the day the polygamy revelation (Section 132) was written. The traditional narrative suggests that Hyrum Smith attempted to convince Emma of polygamy that day, but Emma vehemently denied it. As a result of this conversation, a decision was made to deed Emma all the unencumbered lots in Nauvoo. William Clayton's journal, a couple of days later, corroborates this, mentioning the drawing up of the deed and giving Emma the lots. The deeds were initially recorded in the Nauvoo Register book in 1843 by William Clayton himself, which some skeptics distrust due to his involvement. However, in July 1844, just after Joseph Smith's death, these deeds were also recorded in the Hancock County deed records, providing an independent record that, from Bradley's perspective, confirms the story in Clayton's journal. The Skeptic's Counter-Argument: Michelle Stone's Research Despite the evidence, some see these same deeds as disproving William Clayton's journal. Michelle Stone's research unearthed a fascinating detail: A July 12, 1843 draft deed to Hyrum Smith: Stone discovered a deed, dated July 12, 1843, that was fully written out but never signed or completed. This draft was intended for Joseph Smith's brother, Hyrum, and listed many of the same properties that were later deeded to Emma. Stone argues that because there's no explanation for why Hyrum was receiving these properties, it couldn't have been related to polygamy. She questions why the Joseph Smith Papers project labeled this a "draft." Why "Draft"? And the True Story Behind the Deeds Mary Ann Clemens provides clarification, agreeing with the "draft" designation for several reasons: The draft deed to Hyrum had Hyrum's name scratched out and Emma's name written in on the back.. It was never signed or recorded anywhere. Another draft deed to Emma, also dated July 12, was found. This one listed an extra lot not on county records and didn't finish the boilerplate language. These drafts are critical. While people like Michelle Stone argue they represent distinct transactions or prove deception,
The point of warfare is to kill and win, but the means to that end must be considered. The bloodlust of mankind is seldom, if ever, suppressed at the point of considering some advantage. Then again, warfare has been a history of unfair advantages through technological innovation hidden from the enemy. Tim and Andrew discuss some of those technological advances in history, our latest technological advance (drones), and the complexity of warfare. And, please, can we remember to pray for those who have to make the actual decisions about international relations and war?***Mentioned in the episode:Carnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise to Western Power by Victor Davis HansonFlannery O'Connor: "If other ages felt less, they saw more, even though they saw with the bind, prophetical, unsentimental eye of acceptance, which is to say, of faith. In the absence of this faith now, we govern by tenderness. It is a tenderness which, long since cut off from the person of Christ, is wrapped in theory. When tenderness is detached from the source of tenderness, its logical outcome is terror. It ends in forced-labor camps and in the fumes of the gas chamber" (from A Memoir of Mary Ann).Modern Times by Paul Johnson***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

In this episode, a recording taken from the launch of historian Lisa MacKinney's book, Dressed in Black: The Shangri-Las and Their Recorded Legacy. MacKinney marshals an impressive array of new evidence to tell the story of the Shangri-Las, one of the most significant-and most misunderstood-pop groups of the 1960s. Sisters Mary and Betty Weiss, together with twins Mary Ann and Marguerite Ganser, were schoolgirls when they formed the Shangri-Las in 1963, and had a meteoric rise to fame with songs like "Leader of the Pack" and "Remember (Walking in the Sand)." Their career was cut short for reasons largely beyond their control, derailed by the machinations of Mafia-linked record executives, and heartbreak and tragedy followed. Equally importantly, Dressed in Black radically rewrites the accepted narrative of the Shangri-Las' place in rock history. As young women, they were permitted little agency within a male-dominated industry that viewed teenagers as fodder to be manipulat-ed and exploited by producers, songwriters, and label owners. For decades, this has served as an excuse for critics to deny the musical input of the group members, to trivialize the Shangri-Las as a "girl group," and to assign their work a lesser rank in the canon of "authentic" rock and roll. MacKinney's great achievement here is to foreground the Shangri-Las' considerable abilities and musicality, and establish the centrality of their performance of their songs to the group's underappreciated artistic achievement.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Mary Ann Mercer — psychologist, author, and someone I'm proud to call a friend — for a deeply moving conversation about what it means to grieve before the loss even happens. Dr. Mary shares the story of her best friend Willa, who spent the last three years of her life battling a rare form of cancer. As Willa's health slowly declined, Dr. Mary experienced a grief that started long before the final goodbye — one filled with emotional whiplash, conflicting thoughts, and moments of profound connection.Together, we talk about anticipatory grief — how it creeps in while someone is still alive, and how emotionally exhausting it can be to keep showing up day after day for someone you love. Dr. Mary opens up about the guilt she felt when she started wishing for peace, the loneliness Willa experienced as others slowly pulled away, and the quiet power of simply sitting in silence with someone who's suffering. It's not always about fixing things — sometimes it's just about being there.Dr. Mary also shares some of the unexpected moments of beauty in Willa's final years — including the annual “hippie parties” she was known for, and how her legacy continues to ripple outward through the people who loved her most. This conversation reminded me that grief isn't just about endings — it's also about presence, purpose, and honoring the time we do have. If you've ever watched someone fade while trying to hold them close, this one is for you.DR.

Episode 365: On a humid August morning in 1873, the quiet, tight-knit community of Baker's Settlement outside of Bridgewater in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, was shattered by a crime so shocking that it would echo for generations. This is the story of Mary Ann Frauzel Mailman—a woman described by her contemporaries as strikingly beautiful, and by all accounts, a devoted mother—whose life ended violently at the hands of her husband, Peter Mailman. The murder and its aftermath would become one of the most infamous cases in the province's history, both for its brutality and for the chilling window it offered into the darkness that can lurk behind closed doors.

On this episode, Marc talks with Lisa MacKinney, author of "Dressed in Black: The Shangri-Las and Their Recorded Legacy," released in March of 2025. It's a thorough history of the 1960's group comprising sisters Mary and Betty Weiss and twins Mary Ann and Marguerite Ganser, best known for their hits “Leader of the Pack” and “Remember (Walking in the Sand)." MacKinney started this project 20 years ago as a graduate student, gradually unearthing almost every possible detail about this fascinating group, despite not having access to any members.As she writes, "A reappraisal of the Shangri-Las' small but tremendously significant and influential body of work is long overdue. Repeatedly marginalised in traditional rock narratives, the Shangri-Las deserve to be examined in more informed historical contexts and on their own terms, right now and not later."You can buy "Dressed in Black" here.We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Lisa MacKinney.

Here was an unexpected statement. She does not actually enjoy writing. Apparently it started early when Mary Ann had a tough time in school particularly with spelling. She didn't think she was qualified. Her self-talk wasn't positive. Years later she knew she had to let it go because there was work to be done and it involved writing. Mary Ann Mariani took her years of experience being a presentation coach and went where she knew God was leading her: helping people share their faith. As she explains, everyone has a story and there is somebody that needs to hear yours. This led her to write Your Story for God's Glory. Mary Ann is our guest this week for Thinking through My Fingers: a Writers Series.You can find Mary Ann at Kingdom Presenters.Thanks for being part of the UY conversation.The Unabashed You website has a page for each guest of photos, quotes and a blog with embedded audio at unabashedyou.com.

April 16, 2025 - "Brother" by Mary Ann Hoberman, read by Ivy Danicich by The Desmond-Fish Public Library & The Highlands Current, hosted by Ryan Biracree
In 1993, a teenage girl vanished on her way to school in a quiet town in Ontario, Canada. That morning, she’d argued with her mother, Mary Ann—nothing serious, just one of those everyday fights about going to school. It would be the last time they ever spoke. Her name was Christine Harron. She never made it to class. The case went cold for years—until filmmaker and podcast host David Ridgen started asking questions. He dug into old leads, uncovered long-buried secrets, and eventually helped bring a killer to justice. But even now, one question remains... Where is Chrissy? Listen to David Ridgen's podcast, Someone Knows Something, here.

Have you ever considered that something as innocent-looking as a golf cart could change lives—and take one, too? That's the sobering truth at the heart of this heartfelt episode of Career Can Do. Host Mary Ann Faremouth sits down with longtime friend and guest Mark Contreras, co-founder of the Bo Cipra Foundation, to talk about a life lived generously, a tragic accident that sparked a movement, and the surprising importance of safety awareness—on and off the golf course. Mark shares the story of Bo Cipra, a beloved father, friend, and oil and gas industry professional who left an enormous mark on everyone who knew him. After Bo's untimely passing in a golf cart accident, those closest to him turned their grief into purpose, founding a 501(c)(3) organization in his name. What began as a tribute has grown into a meaningful platform—one that financially supports petroleum industry families in crisis and also educates the public about the very real dangers of golf cart misuse. But this episode isn't just about tragedy—it's about community, action, and honoring someone's legacy in a way that makes the world a little better. Mary Ann and Mark talk about the upcoming golf tournament on April 28th, 2025, at Wildcat Golf Club in Houston—a day that brings together industry professionals, friends, and supporters for more than just a round of golf. It's about connection, awareness, and giving back. And yes, it's also about remembering Bo, whose larger-than-life personality made everyone around him feel like family. From safety reminders to the emotional power of volunteerism, this conversation hits home. Mark gets real about how easy it is to forget that golf carts are vehicles—and how normalizing careless behavior can have devastating consequences. More than that, he talks about the ripple effect of generosity, how giving back heals both the giver and the receiver, and how Bo's daughters, Reese and Isla, are still being supported by the community their father built.

Community engagement. Reciprocal learning. Service to others through volunteering. Those were the principles behind the creation of the Mary Ann Shaw Center for Public and Community Service in 1994 under the direction of then-Syracuse University Chancellor Kenneth Shaw and his wife, Mary Ann, who also served as the associate of the Chancellor. For 30 years, the Shaw Center has proudly served as Syracuse University's hub for academic community engagement. By giving back to nonprofits and organizations around Syracuse through service learning and volunteering, the campus community engages in the high impact practice of experiential learning. On April 21, the 30th anniversary of the Shaw Center will be celebrated, and on this episode, former Shaw Center volunteer Derek Wallace '00 and current student volunteer Claire Ceccoli '25 discuss how their involvement with the Shaw Center transformed them into leaders in their communities.

In this episode, Kathryn talks with Mary Ann Donaghy, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer of ZIPS Cleaners, discussing marketing in a franchise business and understanding the mindset of your customer. Mary Ann shares how they have leveraged a consumer research project to better understand customer demographics and behavior, highlighting the significance of consumer insights. She also covers strategies for opening new franchise locations and their efforts to reach a younger consumer. Guest Quote:"We saw that our customers bring in a broader range of items than other customers. You know, so their whole mindset is very different. They didn't care as much about bells and whistles, you know, they didn't care about having a free bottle of water or coffee or, you know, wooden hangers or things that a higher end dry cleaner might provide. They want a good solid cleaning, they want it fast, and they want it cheap because they're bringing in, you know, a lot of items every week. So, super interesting and it also then gave us a baseline for what we would do moving forward from a messaging, and targeting standpoint."Episode Breakdown: [01:58] Alchemy Unveiled: Understand the customer mindset Unique and specific aspects of your customer mindset influence their buying behavior.

Listeners are treated to a rich discussion about the traditional Latin Mass, the relevance of Tesla's current issues, and an engaging dialogue on the validity of sacraments across different Christian traditions. Patrick responds to insightful calls from listeners, addressing everything from the spiritual allure of specific Mass traditions to the theological questions posed by non-Catholic Christians. Join Patrick for thought-provoking insights that explore faith, tradition, and the beauty of liturgical expressions, all within the context of real-life listener experiences. Mike - Traditional Latin Mass: I came to it during Covid. (01:35) Vee – What is the Church’s view of Christians who are not Catholic? Can they be saved or not? (10:26) Marci - Can a Catholic spread the ashes of a non-Catholic? (21:36) Candace - I came across a passage in 1 Cor about speaking in tongues and praying that we interpret what they say. Is that what the Novus Ordo is all about, interpreting the Mass so we understand it? (23:42) Michael (email) – I’ve heard Patrick Madrid speak of the schism between the East and West Churches. My question is, since the East has separated from the West and no longer look to or follow the Pope, but rather have their own “Patriarch,” how can we still view their sacraments as being valid? (33:26) Tony - I need an implant, and they are using the bones from a cadaver. (41:09) Mary Ann – What does the Church teach about donating your body to science? (42:15) Damon - How can you get dispensation to eat meat on Friday? (44:51)

Joe was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and since childhood he has loved the Philadelphia Phillies. According to him, “I live and die with the Phillies, no matter where they are in the standings. They have been playing great of late and that makes me happy!” Now a Nashvillian for almost five decades, Joe is also a Tennessee Titans football fan. He has had season tickets since they arrived in Nashville in 1998. Joe is an avid writer and songwriter and became a published children's book author in 1997 with The Molly Books, a four-book series published by Ideal's Children's Books. In 2003, New Leaf Press published G. I. Joe and Lillie: Remembering a Life of Love and Loyalty, an inspirational biography Joe penned about his parents. His song by the same name was included on the Oaks' Colors album, released the same year. A music video of the song reemerged in the summer of 2009 and became a YouTube phenomenon with almost six million views. Joe also wrote the title song for the Oaks' The Journey album, as well as the text for The Oak Ridge Boys' coffee table book, An American Journey, published in 2004. In 2014, New Leaf published Joe's Christmas short story, An Inconvenient Christmas, which was inspired by an Oak Ridge Boys' song from an album by the same name. In September 2010, Journey Press, a division of Sheaf House, released From My Perspective, a collection of Joe's commentaries, stories, and other writings. His book Christmas Miracles, a collection of Christmas short stories and commentaries, originally published in 2008, was updated in 2012. His most recent book, On the Road with The Oak Ridge Boys, was published by Harvest House Publishers in May 2015. For relaxation, Joe retreats to his farm on the Tennessee-Kentucky state line, where he can often be found on his John Deere tractor mowing part of his 350-acres—or sitting on his front porch and playing banjo, an instrument he has played for more than a decade. He plays a step-out lead on the Oaks' Rock of Ages CD. Joe has been singing since he was about four years old and in his mid-teens fell in love with Southern Gospel music harmony. A born-again Christian, he is always quick to give God the credit for everything he has accomplished. He joined the Oaks in 1973, just prior to the group's emergence on the Country music scene. As with the other group members, much of Joe's time has been spent on the road performing, but he found his own way to get the maximum possible enjoyment out of touring. “My life has been simple,” says the Oak who was the principal spokesman on stage for five decades. “I go out there and try to sing the best I can and give them physically and mentally everything I've got. When it's done, I go back to my room or the bus, eat some pizza or sushi, call my Mary, get on my Apple laptop, do a little writing, and say to myself, ‘Hey, I've done what I'm supposed to be doing and I feel great about it.'” Joe and his wife, Mary, have two daughters, Jennifer, and Sabrina; two grandchildren, Breanne and Luke, who recently served in the U.S. Navy; and one great grandson, Noah Chance. They also have four cats, Mitty, Crockett, Barney, and Maggie Mae. In early 2024, Joe announced his retirement from touring due to the onset of a neuromuscular disorder. He passed on to Glory on July 9, 2024, due to complications from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). He leaves behind his precious wife, Mary Ann, daughters Jennifer and Sabrina, granddaughter Breanne, grandson Luke, two great grandsons, Chance and Grey, and a sister, Nancy. He is preceded in death by his parents Joseph S. Bonsall Sr. and Lillie Bonsall. A memoir written by Joe in early 2024, entitled I See Myself, will be released in November.

Full Text of ReadingsThursday after Ash Wednesday Lectionary: 220The Saint of the day is Saint Mary Ann of Jesus of ParedesSaint Mary Ann of Jesus of Paredes' Story Mary Ann grew close to God and his people during her short life. The youngest of eight, Mary Ann was born in Quito, Ecuador, which had been brought under Spanish control in 1534. She joined the Secular Franciscans and led a life of prayer and penance at home, leaving her parents' house only to go to church and to perform some work of charity. She established in Quito a clinic and a school for Africans and indigenous Americans. When a plague broke out, she nursed the sick and died shortly thereafter. She was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1950. The liturgical feast of Saint Mary Ann of Jesus of Paredes is celebrated on May 28. Reflection Francis of Assisi overcame himself and his upbringing when he kissed the man afflicted with leprosy. If our self-denial does not lead to charity, the penance is being practiced for the wrong reason. The penances of Mary Ann made her more sensitive to the needs of others and more courageous in trying to serve those needs. Why do we celebrate saints? Friar Pat explains… Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
