POPULARITY
My friends, I'm about to go skiing for the first time in over 4-years at the end of January. So I needed to consult with the #1 person I know in the world on this. Her name is Jennifer Lockwood and you're going to want to know her if you are into skiing and fitness. She's a pro amongst pros. She's a fit-pro who has been changing lives for more than 30-years. And she's an elite skier, instructor, and pro who knows the snow-skiing world better than anyone I know. Oh, and she just happens to be a long-standing extraordinary member & teammate in the Todd Durkin Mastermind group of fitness pros, trainers, coaches, and fitness business owners. I can tell you this….today's IMPACT SHOW will start strong, be smooth throughout, and come burning through the gates at the end. Heck, we may all even have an “apres-ski” afterwards (of what is technically the last show of 2023. Whaatt???). Here is SOME of what you will get today…along with a whole heckuva lot smack talking from me as I challenge her to a downhill race (what was I thinking!). Here we GO… Jenn's background in skiing, fitness, training, and how she eventually married her love for training, fitness, and skiing? What does the Todd Durkin Mastermind mean to you? Favorite memory or two from the Mastermind… What are your Top 2 or 3 big accomplishments from this past year? Share 2-3 of your BIG goals for 2024. Jenn shares a ton about her desire to get her Peak Ski Conditioning program in even more ski-enthusiasts hands because people can do the “dry-land” training anywhere with very little equipment and it's all virtual…and it WILL improve their skiing. If there was one person on your Mastermind Team you wanted to give a special shout out to, who would that be and why? If someone was a fit-pro, trainer, or coach, why should they consider joining the Mastermind? Where is Jenn Lockwood going to be in 3-years? All of Jenn's follow-up contact information and the very special BONUS (you will not believe this!) if you get her program before January 25th… I love seeing Jenn Lockwood live life. She's combining all her passions, including supporting her two sons who are “extreme” snowboarder athletes. If you enjoy today's IMPACT SHOW and you know any other snow-ski enthusiasts who would, please share this episode with them and on your social media please. Thank you.

ABOUT Fells Point Cultivated CreationsCultivated Creations started as a house plant hobby gone wild. Founder Mike Holcomb always enjoyed gardening and became enraptured by the science of living terrariums, getting crafty with plants and putting them in his empty window storefront. One day the window ran out of space and we realized we could share these creations with the community that loved seeing them from afar. Partnering with local artist Alexander Madaus, they set out to create a space for the community to grow with the greenery. Thus, Cultivated Creations was born. We love that this is a way to bring joy to others and brighten up the community and we want to continue to grow and help others learn how to grow both plants and their spirits each day.To find more amazing stories from the artist and entrepreneurial scenes in & around Baltimore, check out my episode directory.Mentioned in this episode:Cultivated Creations' WebsiteSubscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or listen on my website, follow on Instagram (where I am most active), like on Facebook, or email mtrthenetwork@gmail.com!Be sure to check out our other podcasts:Mastermind Team's Robcast - Mastermind Team's Robcast is an irreverent and hilarious podcast covering all things pop culture and weird news.

About Rob Lee Rob Lee is podcaster and host of The Truth in This Art. In this episode he is interviewed by The Truth In This Art alum Kelly L. Walker. About The Truth In This Art The Truth In This Art is a podcast interview series supporting the vibrancy and development of Baltimore and beyond's arts and culture. My vision is to create a deeper sense of community in the city of Baltimore by highlighting Baltimore's entrepreneurs, artists, and cultural leaders. This storytelling series grew out of my desire to shift the common narratives about the city of Baltimore into a more positive light. Conversations about Baltimore are often narrowly focused on crime, when in reality, Baltimore is rich with diverse cultural influences, including artists, small business owners, and many other community members dedicated to creating positive change. When I created The Truth In This Art two years ago, I set out to amplify these voices in order to paint a more truthful picture of Baltimore and its people.For many years now, I have been deeply committed to creating art that makes Baltimore residents proud of their city and its brilliance. I have hosted several other podcast projects, including MTR's Robcast, Unofficially Black, and Let's Watch It Again. I have been a resident podcaster at Baltimore Improv Group Theater since 2019 and have also headlined at the Baltimore Podcast Festival, Light City Festival, and the Charm City Mafia Podcast Festival. I believe that my expertise in the podcasting medium along with my love of Baltimore and all it has to offer is clearly reflected in this project. In an effort to highlight the beauty and diversity of Baltimore's influence, I have intentionally curated a wide variety of guests to feature on the show, ranging from emerging artists such as Monica Ikegwu to cultural leaders like Dr. Joanne Martin, co-founder of The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum. Each episode ranges from about 30 minutes to one hour long, and explores the guest's background, their work, and their inspirations. Since the project's inception, I have published 196 episodes that are available for public consumption on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. In the past year alone, the show has accumulated 14,000 downloads. In order to reach a wide audience and further our engagement in the community, we utilize social media to promote each episode.

About LaFontaine E. OliverLaFontaine E. Oliver was named president and general manager of WYPR in Baltimore in July of 2019, after six years at WMFE in Orlando, Florida. During his first year, Oliver helped launch a new health reporting desk and the weekday podcast, The Daily Dose, as a vital source of the most relevant news to the community about the COVID-19 health pandemic and the state's response. Recently, Oliver led efforts to acquire WTMD from Towson University to preserve the beloved music discovery format. The deal for the purchase of WTMD closed in November of 2021, bringing the powerhouse local public radio stations together. At WMFE, Oliver oversaw the expansion of its newsroom and local news coverage, adding beat reporters, expanding its public affairs program and launching an award-winning health desk. Under Oliver's leadership, major efforts included spearheading community engagement efforts to get the station better connected to diverse and underserved communities and spearheading a marketing campaign designed to encourage active listening and civil discourse in the community with 90.7 WMFE acting as the conduit. Oliver returned to Baltimore after a successful stint running WEAA, licensed to Morgan State University, from 2007 to 2013. There, he launched a daily syndicated talk show, and his work in growing the station garnered him an invitation to present to HBCU presidents and vice presidents at the Annual White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities Conference in Washington, D.C., in 2009. In his 20-year broadcast career, Oliver has been involved in several commercial, satellite and public media initiatives to grow service to diverse audiences.

Visual artist Michael Bruley of Chestertown Maryland along the Chesapeake Bay. Having Grandparents in Philadelphia, Michael experienced city vibes. His mother Candice was known to paint murals of flowers, rainbows and peace signs inside house walls. His father Michael, had owned a body shop where he quickly learned mixing colors and paints. Having this influence further allowed him to express himself through art. He often painted murals in his childhood room. At the age of 12 a friend of his older brother gave him a four foot canvas, paints and a brush. On this canvas he painted his first painting of a Pegasus flying over a rainbow and mountains. A radiant and elegant gift, for art was very apparent from an early age. Art will go onto become his truest refuge. In second grade Michael was diagnosed with dyslexia. While eventually he learned to cope, this continues to influence his self-esteem and confidence. In turn increases his drive and motivation for art. As a teenager he really took to photography as well as painting and often mixing the two. His love for experimentation has evolved his work in many different directions. Today, his portfolio differs from realism to abstract and one dimension to three dimensional art. During High School, Michael continued to paint and received a scholarship from the Queen Anne's County Art Council towards his first year at Chesapeake College where he completed his degree in Liberal Arts. In 2002 he started University of the Arts in Philadelphia, in pursuit of pursuing a photography major. After his first year he realized his passion was for painting. After he transitioned to the painting department he felt more confident in his art. At the time he was the first junior to sell a painting for $1,500. There after every summer he would take every painting he created and displayed and sold them across Maryland. He was known as a “fire ball” in college, selling a good bit and speaking his mind. Graduating in 2005, Michael received his Bachelor's in Fine Art with an emphasis in Art Therapy. The year of 2006 Michael's life would take a dramatic turn. On his way to register for classes at Temple University he was involved in severe car accident. Which shattered his body. His art came to an abrupt halt. He was heavy medicated on pain medication which became addictive. That life style continued up until his father's death in 2010. It was then he realized this lifestyle had to come to an end. Like the Phoenix, he pulled himself out of the ashes and with the help of many people he slowly started getting his life back on track. In the summer of 2012, Michael was walking by a Jazz Festival in his home town and got inspired to start painting again. With only red, yellow and black watercolor paints. He was back! Feeling better than ever and with a new view on life, he picked up back where he left off six years prior. In 2016, he decided it was time to dedicate his career to art and being a fulltime artist. The bold colors in Michael's art express his passion and excitement for life. He is certainly a Jack-of-all-trades. He loves to create and engage his audience with his art. Michael continues to experiment is experimenting with colors and textures which create rich and beautiful work, typically with high contrast. His love for creating art has helped him through the best and worst of times, his self-expressing is prevalent.To find more amazing stories from the artist and entrepreneurial scenes in & around Baltimore, check out my episode directory.Mentioned in this episode:Michael's WebsiteSubscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or listen on my website, follow on Instagram (where I am most active), like on Facebook, or email mtrthenetwork@gmail.com!Be sure to check out our other podcasts:Mastermind Team's Robcast - Mastermind Team's Robcast is an irreverent and hilarious podcast covering all things pop culture and weird news.

About Kelly L Walker Kelly Walker is an American born, self taught artist who continues to study at the ‘School of Life'. She found her way to Baltimore, Maryland by the age of 18 where she has lived ever since. Walker absorbs the beauty, chaos and reality of Baltimore City channeling it into her work.In 2013, Walker purchased a rundown auto shop in the heart of the city. The building is located between the historic cultural arts district of Mt Vernon and the newly designated Bromo Arts district currently undergoing a neighborhood revitalization. In an immense labor of love, Walker transformed the downtrodden building into live/work space that has been featured in Baltimore Magazine as a work of art in of itself. An art collection covers the inside walls, boasting of other local artists. The studio and apartment serve not only as a place of business and a home but sometimes Walker opens her home for gatherings which benefit community organizations such as Creative Alliances ‘Art to Dine for'. The dichotomy of Kelly Walker's world translates onto her canvases as she paints in fits of inspiration which has led to an expansive collection of unique series, committing spontaneous reflections of her mood and emotions to canvas. Walker's abstract paintings demonstrate the techniques, textures, and patterns she employs as a professional decorative painter. She pushes mediums past their intended purposes, encouraging them to collide and react, not rejecting happy accidents and forcing incompatible materials to meet. Utilizing a wide range of atypical materials, her works are intricately layered, calling reference to landscape, graffiti and color fields. Walker's artwork has been featured extensively at venues both in and outside of the Baltimore area, including the Rosenberg Gallery, Silo Point, Gallery 1951 in Los Angeles & Las Laguna Art Gallery in California and the Delaware Museum of Art.About Artstar Custom PaintworksPaint is a wonderfully versatile medium, translating endless ranges of color, texture, or patterned ideas into functional, long-lasting designs.Artstar Custom Paintworks is a Baltimore based decorative painting and faux finishing company founded by Kelly Walker in 2002.

Baltimore-based artist Chris Bathgate is a self-trained machinist. He utilizes handmade tools and automated CNC (computer numerical control) milling and drilling machines to create precisely-crafted elements that assemble into complex sculptures. Machining is his method of artistic expression. He has spent more than fifteen years adapting metalworking machinery from salvaged and repurposed equipment. Bathgate's aesthetic considerations stem from the very machines that he uses to create his sculptures. Each piece that he makes is informed by the one it is preceded by, and he modifies his machinery accordingly—not for improved practical function but for the aesthetic developments that can be produced.Bathgate is unique in his formalist approach to precision machining as an art form. His entire body of work is an ongoing investigation into this concept. Process lies at the heart of his practice and it serves as the primary catalyst for his ideas. He evaluates his sculptures for form and visual composition in a continuous cycle of ideation, problem solving, fabrication, analysis, and revision, similar to systems engineering. Bathgate's carefully composed technical diagrams are evidence of his gestaltist outlook in which the whole may be deconstructed into its elements.Playing with the tension between aesthetic vs. utility, form vs. function, and industrial vs. handmade, Bathgate's interdisciplinary work lies at the intersection of art, craft, and design. It serves as an example of how computer-mediated fabrication may bridge the divide between art, craft, and industrial production in the Digital Age.Bio Courtesy of Chris Bathgate
EU1OGY was born out of chaos. The music defies genre. It is a raw, energetic deconstruction of everything you think you know about sound. Growing up in and around Baltimore, Maryland, EU1OGY spent much of his early childhood shuttling between group homes and foster homes, urban, suburban, and everything in between. For EU1OGY, music and art were salvation, a safe form of expression amidst the flux. Always the new kid, a born outsider, the sound of EU1OGY's music reflects the many world's he moved between, a raw, hardcore punk sound mixed with trap beats and a vocal delivery that will knock down the walls of your house. This is something totally brand new. This is EU1OGY.***If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Petula Caesar is a multi-talented all around artistic being. She is a writer, performer, creator, producer, recording artist and arts administrator. She got her start writing erotica when she was published in New York Times bestselling author Zane's erotica anthology “Caramel Flava” and has published two volumes of erotic ficton and an audiobook of erotic fiction. Petula has written for various publications like Baltimore's former alternative weekly City Paper, The Afro-American Newspapers, and Baltimore Magazine. Petula is also a storyteller and performance poet who has been featured at signature Baltimore events like Artscape, Stoop Storytelling, The Baltimore Book Festival, and Charm City Kitty Club. She has performed erotic poetry and suggestive storytelling with her band in tow for audiences up and down the East Coast and has performed with The Punany Poets from HBO's "Real Sex" series. After spending much time onstage in front of audiences of all kinds, Petula grew to love backstage just as much, and moved into theatrical production, event production and artist booking. She has curated, directed and produced events at most major venues in Baltimore, including The Creative Alliance, The Motor House, Arena Players, The Arch Social Club, The Reginald Lewis Museum and Metro Gallery and has worked with numerous Baltimore performers like The 5th L, Eze Jackson, Lea Gilmore, Jonathan Gilmore, Navasha Daya, and Joyce Scott. She created Caesar Productions LLC to present and elevate various aspects of African American culture, especially performance and literary arts through events ranging from live performance to workshops. Petula released her memoir entitled “She's Such A Bright Girl: An American Story” in June 2018, where she recounts an upbringing full of conflict and tension centered around colorism. The book won an Honorable Mention at the North Street Books Prize for creative non-fiction, and throughout 2018 and 2019 Petula could often be found appearing at branches of the Enoch Pratt Library and at other community events talking about her book and other themes related to race. Petula became director of Community Engagement for the Baltimore Rock Opera Society (BROS) in 2019. In her role of finding ways for BROS to become more reflective of Baltimore's demographic (majority African American), she assisted with creating programming with that audience in mind by using Black creatives both onstage and behind the scenes to execute that programming. This included serving as producer of a series of virtual concerts in 2020 called Rock Opera 101 (during the height of COVID no less). And while 2021 finds us still facing COVID, Petula continues to create, serving as Executive Producer and Co-Creative director of a theatrical presentation called “Funktopia - An Intergalactic Tribute To Funk and Hip Hop” that will feature music from Outkast, Kendrick Lamar, George Clinton, Funkadelic, and similarly funky artists.***If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Carlos Raba was born and raised in the Mexican state of Sinaloa by his mother and her four sisters. He learned to make tortillas by hand in his uncle's restaurant and picked up classic North Mexican recipes like cochinita pibil and lengua from his aunts and grandmother. Critical of Mexican politics and fearing for their lives, Raba's journalist mother sought asylum and moved the family to the suburbs of Washington, D.C. when Raba was 17.After he graduated from high school, Raba attended business school for a year and began working in grocery stores. He started at the Whole Foods in Kentlands, Maryland, trying his hand at different roles—butcher, fishmonger, cheesemonger, and eventually store manager. He then moved to Giant Foods and worked at various locations for five years. Growing tired of the corporate life and inspired by his business partner Lane Harlan, Raba used his creativity and family recipes to open Clavel in Baltimore in 2015. Raba serves the same shrimp ceviche recipe that his grandmother taught him when he was 6 years old, along with other Sinaloan specialties in a relaxed, communal setting. In 2017, Raba was named “Best Chef ” by Baltimore's City Paper and in 2018, he earned a StarChefs Rising Star Chef award.In 2020, he earned his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu under Vicente Junior. The same year, he also founded Guardian Baltimore gym, a 501(c)3 non-profit in the Remington neighborhood of the City of Baltimore, dedicated to providing kids ages 5-17 with FREE training in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Yoga.

Between painting alongside her grandmother and watching her father build reproduction antique furniture, Rosa Leff grew up seeing no distinction between fine art and craft. What mattered was that things were made by hand and done well. It is with that in mind that she creates her hand cut paper pieces. Each of Leff's papercuts is cut by hand from a single sheet of paper using a knife. Her cityscapes are based on photos she's taken in her neighborhood and all over the world. While Leff is best known for her ability to capture thin tangles of powerlines and intricate brickwork, she also enjoys experimenting with novel media such as paper plates and paper towels. Leff delights in bringing a modern, urban perspective to a traditional folk medium. Leff serves on the board of The Guild of American Papercutters and is a member of The Paper Artist Collective. She has exhibited her work throughout the United States and in China. She resides in Baltimore with her husband and chihuahuas, Chalupa and Refrito.If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

At the beginning of 2013, about the start of the second semester of his sophomore year in high school, he started playing video games every night with two friends from school, named Qwame Mundell, better known as QMD, and Tyrez Morton, who was already releasing music at the time under the name TC, better known as HB Rez. A few months of sleepless nights playing playstation passed, and he was introduced to Malik King, better known as 2k, another person to play playstation with every night. Around the end of April 2013, he was introduced to FL Studio by his friend, Jamal Scott, better known as Scotty Banx, who he'd met that year in an elective class for music video production at Kenwood High School. He'd always struggled with finding beats that he liked on YouTube. Inspired by a local young artist from Baltimore named Butch Dawson, who produced all of his own music, he decided he wanted to make his own. On June 27th, 2013, John Wells, at the time going by his nickname, Luckee, released his first verse that was featured on a song by HB Rez, entitled "DOPEBOY". Two days later, after a good response on the song, John, Tyrez, Malik, and Qwame were on the phone, playing playstation like they always would, when they decided they wanted to become a rap group. Being big fans of artists like, Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, and Chance the Rapper, artists who often write based on their personal experiences to illustrate a general idea, they decided on the name Generation Why, eventually becoming Generation Y. Over the summer of 2013, two new members, Hassan Ricks, better known as Ali, and Johnny Martinez, joined Generation Y, making it a whole. Since the summer of 2013, John Wells has released multiple songs featuring members of Generation Y, local artists, solo tracks, a six-track EP with Generation Y, a beat tape inspired by the death of Billy Watts, a teen producer from Michigan who committed suicide, and produced his entire first project, entitled The KEILANI, which is set to be released February 22nd, 2015, making all of his own cover art throughout the whole process, and making many visits to the home of Scotty Banx, where he recorded almost all of The KEILANI. He says his sound is influenced by artists and groups such as Outkast, 2pac, Butch Dawson, Isaiah Rashad, Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean, King Krule, Lorine Chia, The Internet, Pink Floyd, Erykah Badu, Jay Electronica, Vince Staples, D'Angelo, and J Dilla, among many others, but he is mainly influenced by his own life, and everything and everyone that surrounds him. In his upcoming project The KEILANI, he tells stories of his life in great detail, some being as simple as trying to talk to a homeless woman when walking home from school, and sitting in a bar eating chicken wings while waiting for his father to drive him home, and some being as complex as his own thoughts of suicide, the effect of drugs on Baltimore, MD, and even his want for a child of his own. All of these subjects, and more, become simple, yet complex, through John Wells' music. The KEILANI is produced completely by John Wells himself, and mixed by Scotty Banx. He describes it as a self portrait.If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
