Introduction On today's episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we look at two major battles for public resources and professional dignity. First, we examine a ballot measure in Ohio that could strip billions from local communities. Then, we look at a wave of union victories in newsrooms that are fighting to keep local journalism alive. Segment 1: The High Cost of Repealing Ohio Property Taxes Frank Mathews, Administrative Director for CWA District 4, joins the show to issue a stark warning about a signature-gathering effort to eliminate property taxes in Ohio. While the pitch sounds appealing to homeowners, Mathews explains why the "fine print" could be disastrous for working families. The $20 Billion Hole: How eliminating property taxes removes the primary funding source for public schools, township roads, and police/fire departments. Who Really Pays: Why replacing this revenue would likely force massive hikes in sales and income taxes, shifting the burden onto lower- and middle-income workers. The Service Gap: The risk to essential services in townships that cannot levy income taxes. Segment 2: Organizing Wins in Ohio & The Future of News NewsGuild-CWA President Jon Schleuss reports on a surge of momentum for newsroom workers, despite corporate consolidation and layoffs at national outlets like the Washington Post. Victory in Columbus: Journalists at the Columbus Dispatch and Newark Advocate have voted overwhelmingly to unionize, strengthening NewsGuild Local 1. Pittsburgh's PAPER: How workers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette are building their own community-centered publication, the Pittsburgh Alliance for People-Empowered Reporting (PAPER), to bypass corporate gatekeepers. National Fight: The labor response to recent cuts at the Washington Post and why preserving newsroom jobs is a civic necessity.

This week's scripture:Psalm 27Matthew 5v13-30This week Ashley Mathews is visiting us from Arkansas! Listen to her message where she uses this passage to illustrate Jesus' desire to call us into who he created us to be. Can we accept God's desire for us to know we are more than our flaws or worst days and step into our role as image bearers?
In this episode of the Run the Riot Podcast, David sits down with ultrarunner Melanie Mathews for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about grit, setbacks, and what it really takes to stay in the game of ultrarunning. Melanie's running story starts long before ultra racing. Growing up on a Nebraska farm, she learned hard work, discipline, and toughness early—qualities that later carried her from road races to trail running and into ultra racing. She shares how she transitioned from marathons like the Little Rock Marathon to rugged mountain events, her early mistakes in trail racing, and why the ultrarunning community hooked her for good. The conversation goes deeper as Melanie opens up about DNFs, injury, grief, and seasons when running was taken away entirely. From her first 100-mile attempts to finishing the Love It 100, Melanie reflects on mental toughness, stubborn determination, and the lessons that only ultra racing can teach. She also talks about hormone health, depression, and the identity struggle many ultrarunners face when they can't train or race the way they want to. Now heavily involved in volunteering and running aid stations, Melanie shares why giving back to the trail community matters so much—and how being on both sides of the race has shaped her perspective as an ultrarunner. This episode is packed with perspective for anyone chasing big goals in ultrarunning, navigating setbacks, or simply trying to stay grateful for the miles they get to run.

Craftsmanship isn't loud. It's built quietly—one decision, one detail, one season at a time. On Episode 307 of the Antler Up Podcast, I'm joined by Daniel Parker from Mathews Archery for a conversation that goes well beyond gear and specs. Daniel works on the front lines at Mathews, spending his days talking with hunters, dealers, and archers—hearing what works, what doesn't, and what actually matters once the season is over. We dive into what separates a truly great brand from the rest: attention to detail, responsibility to the hunter, and the discipline to protect core values in an industry that's constantly evolving. Daniel shares insights from inside Mathews, how real-world hunting feedback shapes the conversations he has every day, and why craftsmanship still matters when trends come and go. We also talk about the things hunters tend to overthink—and the things they don't think enough about—when it comes to practice, consistency, and execution under pressure. From lessons learned in the field to patterns Daniel hears season after season, this episode is about understanding the why behind the gear, not just the gear itself. This isn't a product episode. It's a conversation about mindset, responsibility, and doing things the right way—whether you're building bows, chasing deer, or sharpening your shot process. If you care about becoming a better hunter, a better archer, and doing things with intention, Episode 307 is for you.

Coach talks to Jimmy Hyams to break down the rapidly evolving landscape of Tennessee athletics. The discussion centers on the football program's aggressive offseason moves, specifically its heavy activity in the transfer portal, where the team has signed 14 players, including several key defensive acquisitions from Penn State. A major point of analysis is the quarterback strategy, weighing whether to lean on a veteran or allow young prospects like George MacIntyre and Faizon Brandon time to develop as they compete for the starting role. The conversation also shifts to Tennessee basketball, analyzing the men's team's recent struggles with consistency and the Lady Vols' strong momentum in SEC play. Throughout the segment, Mathews and Hyams touch on the broader impact of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals and the trend of playing more true freshmen to maintain roster depth and player satisfaction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, Frank Mathews, Administrative Director for District 4 of the Communications Workers of America (CWA), discussed the significance of First Amendment rights in labor activism, the impending closure of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the union's endorsements in Ohio's crucial political races. Benjamin Lynn, Press and Communications Associate with Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 689, joined the America's Work Force Union Podcast to discuss the 23-day strike by shuttle service drivers for Battles Transportation and RHG Group, significant wage disparities faced by the workforce and the hard-won gains secured in the new contract.
Tate Mathews is joined by Mike Voss, head coach of the Riverdale Warriors, who shares how his team is building momentum after crucial wins over Clarksville Northeast and Oakland. Voss highlights the standout play of Ryan Wilkerson and Braylen Burns, but also sheds light on the logistical "grind" of the new TSSAA district format, which has forced coaches to take on the massive task of independent scheduling for nearly 20 additional games. The conversation also introduces Chad Broadrick, the new head coach at Centennial High School, who discusses his vision for building a culture of "connection and toughness". While Broadrick is focused on installing a versatile defensive front and maintaining offensive continuity, the broader coaching landscape is facing significant upheaval. The Tennessean’s Tom Kreager joins the show to discuss a notable "changing of the guard" in the region, marked by the high-profile departures of Matt Kriesky from Blackman and Ben Caudill from Stewarts Creek, as well as the high-stakes return of Trent Dilfer to Lipscomb Academy. Kreager suggests these shifts point to a new era of "professionalized" high school sports. With the introduction of NIL opportunities and TSSAA rules allowing one-time transfers, the role of a head coach has evolved into a 24/7 roster management position similar to the college level. As experienced mentors step away due to the grueling nature of this new culture and the constant pressure of the transfer portal, concerns are rising about a potential long-term coaching shortage in the state.

In this powerful conversation, Kim sits down with Latoya Mathew to explore how unresolved shame can distort identity, fuel self-punishment, and quietly sabotage connection with our adult children. Together, they unpack how healing begins, why presence matters more than perfection, and what it looks like to step into freedom, grace, and renewed hope.

Matt McPherson is an inventor, entrepreneur, and passionate follower of Jesus Christ whose companies have reshaped two industries, archery and high-end guitar manufacturing. As the founder of Mathews Archery, one of the most respected names in hunting and bow technology, and McPherson Guitars, known for their unique design and pristine tone, Matt has spent decades building world-class products from the woods of Sparta, Wisconsin. But his bigger mission? Funding global ministry and sharing the Gospel with clarity and creativity. In this milestone 300th episode of The Wow Factor, Brad reconnects with his longtime friend Matt McPherson for a powerful conversation about calling, hearing from God, and stewarding business as a tool for impact. Matt shares how a childhood love for archery led to launching Mathews Archery, and how a prophetic word in his early 20s reshaped his view of work and ministry forever. They explore the story behind his breakthrough product Lost Camo, the founding of The Salvation Poem Foundation, and the journey to producing Light of the World, a full-length animated film on the life of Jesus. From financial risk during COVID shutdowns to watching a God-sized vision unfold on screen, Matt's story is full of practical faith, spiritual listening, and a relentless pursuit of simplicity—in both business and belief. "I heard God say, 'I'm going to prosper you in business so you can be self-sufficient in ministry.'" - Matt McPherson "Let's make our homes an uncomfortable place for the enemy to hang out." - Matt McPherson "The Gospel is simple: We broke it. God fixed it through Christ. And now we choose to receive it." - Matt McPherson This Week on The Wow Factor: How a childhood moment with a toy bow shaped Matt's entire future The prophetic word that redirected Matt's dreams and defined his mission Why Matt believes engineers are made to simplify—and how that applies to faith Founding Mathews Archery in Wisconsin and building a global brand How a request for camouflage sparked the creation of Lost Camo Practical stories of hearing from God—down to camera purchases and Walmart trips How Matt handled a full company shutdown during COVID without layoffs The surprising result: 2020 became Mathews' most profitable year ever What it means to trust God's timing (and not get ahead of Him) The backstory behind The Salvation Poem—and its reach to over 1 billion people Producing Light of the World: A $30M animated film sharing the story of Jesus How the movie distills the entire Gospel into one clear, beautiful arc Why Matt refuses to overcomplicate the message of Jesus The joy of giving, the power of obedience, and the impact of business-led ministry Matt McPherson's Word of Wisdom: If I'm going to eat the food and take up the space, I want to give back more than I take.

With news headlines shouting doom and gloom in every direction, is the National Retail Federation's record-breaking $1 trillion holiday forecast wishful thinking? Or something more nuanced? “The consumer is sentimentally weak, but fundamentally sound,” explained Mark Mathews, chief economist and executive director of research for the NRF in a special podcast episode for Retail Rx with Ian Fredericks, chief executive officer of Hilco Global Capital Solutions and executive director of Hilco's Consumer and Retail platform. That's important because the consumer is powering our economy more than ever before. Today, 68 percent of GDP is driven by consumer spending—the largest percentage in the past 15 years. “While lower-income households are definitely struggling, what we have seen over the course of the year is that all households have protected their spending on loved ones,” said Mathews. “Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, Back to School, Halloween… we've had at or near record levels of spend across all of those events.” Essentially, it's the nature of spending that has changed, and to safeguard that spending, many have pulled back in other areas like recreation or travel. Consumers have also shifted to more promotional spending that squeeze margins. “The retailer is constrained because prices are rising, so while retailers will offer sales that are important to consumers, we may not see the breadth of sales that we've seen before,” Mathews said. The NRF has been analyzing data and advising retailers for over a century. The November/December season represents roughly 20 percent of the year's retail sales for many retailers.

John Casmon interviews Ed Mathews, a former Silicon Valley tech executive who walked away from a high-flying software career to build a more family-centered, freedom-focused life through real estate. Ed shares how missing too many “18 summers” with his daughters pushed him to leave DocuSign and go all-in on multifamily after seven years of flipping houses and small-building rehabs on the side. He explains how he scaled his Connecticut portfolio by finding “rock star” contractors through trade-to-trade referrals, building tight systems, and using process—not heroics—to let average people perform exceptionally well. Ed details why he prefers long-term residents over constant value-add turnover, how he achieved 4.2-year average stays, and why responsiveness, respect, and presence on site drive both mission and NOI. The conversation closes with his shift away from property management toward asset management, his expansion into AI-powered operations, and the launch of both a debt fund and private equity fund to pursue larger 150-unit-plus acquisitions.

In Episode 299 of the Antler Up Podcast, Jeremy recaps a tough rut weekend in Pennsylvania with little daylight buck activity despite long all‑day sits. He shares the ups and downs of Saturday's move into thicker cover, Sunday's rain‑shortened hunt, and the frustration of seeing shooter bucks only on camera at night. Alongside these stories, Jeremy lays out practical rut strategies for the week of November 10–16, emphasizing patience, midday sits, and smart adjustments to weather and trail camera intel. Listeners also hear a shoutout to Jim for filling his New York archery tag, a preview of his upcoming gun opener, and coverage of the new bow releases from Mathews, Hoyt, and Prime, plus timely Pennsylvania hunting updates. To round out the episode, Jeremy throws in an older conversation with Andy May from Episode 231, “Get Better & Keep it Simple.” In that discussion, Andy shares how hunters often overcomplicate their approach and why simplifying gear, trusting experience, and focusing on continuous learning can lead to greater success. He emphasizes that challenges and encounters often outweigh the size of bucks harvested, and that keeping things simple helps hunters stay efficient and confident in the field. Pairing Jeremy's current rut grind with Andy's timeless advice makes this episode a blend of real‑time hunting reflection and evergreen wisdom for whitetail hunters.
