Podcasts about McDonough

This week we are back with part two of our mammoth session with Fr Conor McDonough OP, an exceptional Research Ireland funded PhD researcher in Classics, University of Galway. Conor tells us all about the new mendicant orders in 13th century Ireland: the Dominicans, Franciscans, Carmelites and Augustinians. Conor explains that these new orders were like 'networks of mass communication' and that friars are kind of like itinerant and urban monks. We hear tales of decline and reform, the Fourth Lateran Council, ethnic tensions, the encroaching black death, and attempts to establish an Irish university in the 1320s.Suggested reading and resources:Treasure Ireland Youtube series https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdPbRZbumpDdJjMBmh_wlGVdx_rQVH38O- Ó Clabaigh, Colmán, ‘The Church, 1050–1460', in Brendan Smith (ed.), The Cambridge History of Ireland. 1. 600–1550 (Cambridge, 2018), 355–384- Colmán Ó Clabaigh OSB, The Friars in Ireland, 1224-1540, Dublin: Four Courts, 2011.- Yvonne McDermott, ‘Women as patrons and benefactors of the friars in medieval Connacht', Journal of Medieval Monastic Studies, vol. 8 (2019), pp. 235-266.- Edel Bhreathnach, ‘The mendicant orders and vernacular Irish learning in the late medieval period', Irish Historical Studies, vol. 37, no. 147 (2011), pp. 357-375.Regular episodes every month (on a Friday)Email: medievalirishhistory@gmail.comProducer: Tiago Veloso SilvaSupported by the Dept of Early Irish, Maynooth University & Taighde Éireann/Research Ireland.Views expressed are the speakers' own.Logo design: Matheus de Paula CostaMusic: Lexin_Music

WWE and TKO avoided what could have been one of the biggest stories in wrestling business history.This week, Nick and Myron break down the settlement that prevented a public trial involving Vince McMahon, Ari Emanuel, and Nick Khan from moving forward.

Welcome back all! This month we are joined by Fr Conor McDonough OP, an exceptional Research Ireland funded PhD researcher in Classics, University of Galway. Conor elucidates the variety of religious life in the Middle Ages focussing on the new religious orders introduced as part of wider church reforms in the 11th and 12th centuries. This episode touches on a number of big themes such as the conflict between 'church and state', colonisation, language, ethnicity, patronage, and decline. What is the difference between a monk and a priest? Why were there two Cathedrals in Dublin? Why did the Cistercians in Ireland build a 'fortress against God'? Did the Irish prefer living in 'nests' rather than stone buildings? Conor answers all of these questions and much more. We learn all about the new international networks of the Cluniacs, Cistercians, Augustinians, Premonstratensians, the Rule of Benedict, drama at Mellifont, bishops as barons, the Anglo-Norman Conquest and the appeal of religious life.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. We are continuing to see MBA programs release their final decisions. This upcoming week, USC / Marshall, CMU / Tepper, London Business School, Arizona / Carey, Georgia / Terry and Georgia Tech / Scheller are releasing final decisions. Graham highlighted a Fridays from the Frontline feature from a Stern student discussing their super experience with Stern's Endless Frontier Labs program. This was then followed by a deep-dive career reports piece focused on the consulting industry for MBA graduates. Graham also noted a new admissions tip which focuses on classes that might be worth considering before starting an MBA. Graham continued with the Real Humans Alumni series. This week focuses on three alumni: McCombs / Pepsi, IESE / Accenture and Owen / Bain. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry. This week's first MBA admissions candidate is from India, and works at Bain.  They also have links to family firm focused on pharmaceuticals. They have a 337 GRE score. This week's second MBA applicant is a veteran who has a 715 GMAT score and a 3.76 GPA from an Ivy League university. This week's final MBA candidate is deciding between McDonough and Anderson. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

A major federal court decision just changed how VA must apply Special Monthly Compensation. In this episode, CCK Law partner Brad Hennings discusses Barry v. McDonough, in which the Federal Circuit made clear that VA cannot automatically limit veterans to a single intermediate SMC rate increase. For veterans with multiple severe service-connected disabilities, this could mean higher monthly compensation or even retroactive benefits. To whom does this apply? When should you take a closer look at your rating? And what types of SMC fact patterns are most affected?

Rick McDonough of Typestries (Long Beach Island, NJ) joins Bryant and Michael for a long-overdue conversation about three decades in the sign business. Rick walks through the unlikely path from a lifeguarding magazine to a college dorm sign shop, the wholesale boom that nearly broke him, and the EFI walk-out moment that made him scrap the contract and rebuild the company around work he actually wanted to do. They get into why AI has Rick more energized than he's been in years, from the food truck cop who designed his entire wrap in ChatGPT, to the Claude-built inventory system that finally solved his missing-bin problem, to the $15K monument signs AI is now pre-selling before the client walks in the door. Plus: why "no ugly signs" is a business strategy, why presentation quality wins bids even when your design is worse, and the workforce cliff that should terrify every shop owner.In this episode:Rick's accidental path into signs (lifeguarding magazine, yearbook, first sandblasted wood sign)The "sald" menu disaster and why proofing is sacredStarting up in 1996 next to a cocaine distribution ringThree decades of equipment chases: Gerber Edge, the In CAD conversion fiasco, Gandy Innovations going bust overnightWalking out on a million-dollar EFI contract when he saw Four Over's order on the floorWhy he intentionally scaled the business down to four peopleThe wholesale vs. retail trap and how to outsource the right wayBurnout, almost selling, and the headmaster who talked him out of itThe food truck cop who changed Rick's mind on AIAI slop vs. good promptingUsing AI to pre-sell $15K signs before the client walks inWhen AI becomes a problem: the 5-vehicle wrap committeeWhat AI can't do: shop drawings, codes, wind load, soil conditionsThe lawn care guy to $3,500 truck wrap pipelineBuilding a Claude-powered inventory system for the shopWhy presentation wins bids (even when the design is worse)"No ugly signs" and why the industry shoots itself in the footSpeaking the language of 20-something entrepreneurs when you're 52Why your sign shop website matters more than everThe coming workforce cliff and the overseas outsourcing questionRick's pitch for getting young people into the tradeChapters:01:30 Introducing Rick and a 20-year Facebook friendship03:30 From lifeguarding magazine to first sandblasted wood sign07:00 The "sald" disaster and the gospel of proofing10:30 Starting up next to a cocaine distribution ring12:00 Gerber Edge, NYC film & TV, and the start of wholesale14:30 In CAD conversions and Gandy Innovations going bust overnight17:00 Walking out on the EFI contract19:00 Right-sizing on purpose: today's four-person shop22:00 Outsourcing the right way and the referral economy27:30 Wholesale burnout and missing the local work30:30 Almost selling: the headmaster who talked him out of it33:00 Making the work fun again36:00 The food truck cop and Rick's AI conversion moment42:00 AI slop vs. good prompting44:00 How AI is pre-selling $15K signs47:00 When AI becomes a problem: the 5-vehicle wrap committee51:00 What AI can't do: shop drawings, codes, wind load58:00 The lawn care guy to $3,500 wrap pipeline1:06:00 Claude-built inventory and shop operations1:11:00 Why presentation wins bids1:18:00 "No ugly signs" and the industry's self-inflicted wounds1:21:00 Using AI to connect with younger entrepreneurs1:25:00 Why your website matters more than ever1:33:00 The coming workforce cliff1:39:00 China factories and overseas outsourcing1:43:00 Rick's pitch for getting young people into signsResources & links:Typestries: https://typestries.comSign A Day (Rick's photo blog): https://signaday.comGCI Digital (TJ's wholesale shop): https://gcidigital.comShopVox: https://shopvox.comFireSprint: https://firesprint.comSigns 365: https://signs365.comChatGPT: https://chatgpt.comClaude: https://claude.ai

Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning. Derek Williamson and Kathleen McDonough are the co-founders of Evercruiting, a recruitment technology company focused on improving hiring for service-based industries. Derek brings experience from operating and scaling multi-location businesses before leading an HR tech company as CEO, while Kathleen built her career in restaurant operations and applicant tracking systems, working with major brands and helping scale a previous company through acquisition. Together, they reunited to tackle persistent hiring challenges with a fresh perspective shaped by emerging technology and frontline realities. In this interview, Derek and Kathleen talk about recruitment technology, drawing a line in the sand with AI, and advocating for the applicant. Recruitment technology “Fundamentally, this whole hiring process has not really changed in like a hundred years. The only thing we did was we put the existing process online.” Derek highlights a core flaw in traditional hiring systems: they are often designed for HR teams rather than the frontline managers actually responsible for hiring. In industries like attractions and restaurants, these managers are busy operating the business, not sitting at a desk updating systems. Evercruiting flips that approach by building tools that meet managers where they are, especially through mobile and text-based interactions. Kathleen reinforces that everything is now filtered through the lens of the frontline user. Instead of forcing adoption, their goal is to create something managers naturally want to use because it makes their jobs easier. This shift reflects a broader rethinking of recruitment technology, focusing less on process compliance and more on usability and real-world application. Drawing a line in the sand with AI “We're not going to use AI to replace human judgment.” Derek explains that many current AI tools in hiring attempt to evaluate candidates by scoring resumes or analyzing interviews, which introduces bias and overconfidence in flawed outputs. Rather than letting AI act as the decision-maker, Evercruiting uses it to support both candidates and employers by highlighting strengths and streamlining administrative tasks. Kathleen adds that AI should handle repetitive work like scheduling and communication, freeing up humans to focus on meaningful interactions. This philosophy establishes a clear boundary: AI enhances efficiency, but people remain responsible for evaluating fit. By redefining how AI is used, they aim to improve outcomes without compromising fairness or authenticity. Advocating for the applicant “Applying for jobs is this never-ending cycle.” Derek describes the broken dynamic where easy applications lead to overwhelming volumes, prompting automation that further distances candidates from employers. This cycle creates frustration on both sides and diminishes the quality of the hiring process. Evercruiting aims to rebalance this by improving how candidates present themselves and how employers engage with them. Kathleen emphasizes that employer branding and the hiring experience play a major role in attracting and retaining talent. Candidates form impressions quickly, and a poor process can deter even strong applicants. By prioritizing transparency, communication, and ease of use, their approach advocates for candidates while still supporting business needs.   Derek and Kathleen can be reached on LinkedIn, where they actively engage in conversations about hiring and recruitment.

Letting go of control is terrifying when control has been the only thing keeping you together.That's where Beth McDonough was, using alcohol to manage what she couldn't say out loud, couldn't process, and couldn't put down. What started as a way to cope with trauma became something with a grip of its own. And working in crime reporting only made it harder to put the weight down at the end of the day.In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Beth McDonough for one of the most honest conversations the show has had about addiction, shame, and what recovery actually looks like when you're in the middle of it. Not the cleaned-up version. The real one.This episode is for anyone who has ever used something — anything — to survive a version of themselves they didn't know how to face. Recovery is not a straight line. Beth's story is proof that it doesn't have to be.Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.Episode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Coping Mechanisms(02:52) The Impact of Crime Reporting on Mental Health(05:41) Personal Stories of Trauma and Coping(08:12) The Journey Through Alcoholism(11:14) The Role of Shame in Addiction(13:57) Reconstructing Life After Addiction(16:40) The Importance of Seeking Help(19:44) Empowerment Through Shared Experiences(22:30) Conclusion and Call to ActionFind Beth McDonough Online Here:Website: bethmcdmedia.comInstagram: @bemcdnFacebook: Beth McDonoughYouTube: Beth McDonoughLinkedIn: Beth McDonoughFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastSubscribe on YouTube | Merch Shop is OPEN!! | This Is More Than a PodcastUnfiltered convos.

In this episode of the Confident Sober Women podcast, Shelby John sits down with Beth McDonough, a former television crime reporter with more than 30 years of experience covering major news stories across the United States.Beth shares her powerful and deeply personal recovery story. She speaks openly about addiction, trauma, shame, incarceration, and the long process of rebuilding her life after losing her career and public reputation. This conversation focuses heavily on personal responsibility and what it truly takes to get sober and stay sober.Throughout the episode, Beth reflects on how unprocessed grief, career pressure, and untreated trauma contributed to her addiction. She explains how recovery required accountability, trauma-informed therapy, and ongoing commitment to healing through tools such as 12-step programs and EMDR.This episode is especially meaningful for women navigating sobriety, career loss, or major life transitions. Beth's story offers hope to anyone who feels stuck in shame or believes they have gone too far to start over. Her journey is a reminder that recovery is not about returning to who you once were, but about building a stronger and more authentic version of yourself.If you are interested in addiction recovery for women, sober living, trauma healing, and rebuilding confidence after hitting rock bottom, this episode will resonate deeply.

Joining Iain Dale on Cross Question are the Labour peer Lord Maurice Glasman, the Green Party leader in Westminster Dr Ellie Chowns, businesswoman Kiki McDonough, plus The New World's political editor James Ball.

For this episode we invite the very entertaining Jimmy McDonough to join us — all the way from Portland, Oregon — and discuss his career as "the king of the crazy biographers". Our guest explains how he moved (back) to New York from Indiana in the '80s and how he got his foot in the door at the Village Voice with a 1988 profile of country singer Gary Stewart, the subject of his new book. We then hear about the long and painful saga of his extraordinary Neil Young biography Shakey (2002) — and his singular approach to the biographical trade. Clips from Amy Linden's 1995 audio interview with Al Green give us the opportunity to ask Jimmy about his 2017 biography of the Reverend Green, after which we finally get to the 40-year gestation of I Am from the Honky Tonks and the story of his obsession with his doomed honky-tonk hero. He explains why the book felt like a mission and why Gary Stewart could and should have been a country superstar. After Mark quotes from featured writer John Morthland's review of the Monterey Pop Festival (with a namecheck for the late Country Joe McDonald) and from a 1975 interview with Tammy Wynette – another of our guest's biographical subjects — Jasper wraps things up with remarks on the Australian Folk Bitch Trio and the man who manages Yungblud (and "eats challenges for breakfast"). Many thanks to special guest Jimmy McDonough. Gary Stewart: I Am from the Honky-Tonks is published by Wolf+Salmon and available for pre-order now. Pieces discussed: Why did Neil Young try to squelch Shakey?, Gary Stewart: Honky-Tonk Puree, Gary Stewart: Out of Hand, John Morthland articles, Monterey International Pop Music Festival, Three Dog Night: Why Do The Underground Put Us Down?, Tammy Wynette, "I Eat Challenges For Breakfast": Yungblud's Manager Tommas Arnby and Folk Bitch Trio.

Visitors sometimes just drop in on us. But a visitor to a home in Georgia took the notion of “dropping in” a bit far. It smashed through the roof, an air duct, and a thick layer of insulation before splatting into the floor, leaving a crater the size of a quarter. It missed smacking into a resident by just 14 feet. The “visitor” was a meteorite – part of a much larger space rock. The rock formed a glowing streak as it raced through the skies of the southeastern United States on June 26th. Hundreds of people saw it, and many more heard it – it produced a sonic boom, plus an explosion before it hit the ground. The bit that smashed into the house was one of more than 200 samples recovered. In all, they totaled about 12 pounds. Collectively, they were called the McDonough meteorite for the small town where they hit. Eyewitness reports, videos, weather radar, and weather satellites helped scientists reconstruct the space rock’s origin. It came from the asteroid belt – a wide band of debris between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It probably was a piece from a much larger body that broke apart 470 million years ago. Lab studies revealed the meteorite’s age: 4.56 billion years – about 20 million years older than Earth. That means it was similar to the rocky building blocks that came together to make Earth. So the McDonough meteorite is an ancient visitor that dropped in with a bang. Script by Damond Benningfield

I recently had the opportunity to sit in on a meeting with Indian Motorcycle CEO Mike Kennedy.  His career reflects a blend of operational strategy, sales network leadership, and brand stewardship in the motorcycle world. Kennedy's long tenure at Harley-Davidson, especially managing dealers and major markets, combined with executive leadership at Vance & Hines and RumbleOn, positioned him as a respected figure well suited to steer Indian Motorcycle's next chapter. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Throughout the meeting, Kennedy emphasized the importance of balancing respect for Indian's legacy with strategic innovation. He discusses how the company plans to focus on core product areas such as cruisers, touring bikes, and heavyweight baggers—segments where Indian has traditionally been strong. Kennedy also touched on his commitment to American manufacturing and fostering strong relationships with dealers and riders alike, signaling a partnership-driven approach rather than solely corporate direction. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Kennedy also aims to address concerns among enthusiasts about the brand's future under new ownership. He stressed that private equity backing doesn't mean abandoning the soul of Indian Motorcycle, and pledges to maintain the authenticity and rider-centric spirit that fans expect. With this blend of respect for tradition and a clear business strategy for growth, Kennedy set out a roadmap that could shape the next chapter of Indian Motorcycle's storied history.

Cold plunges are everywhere, and the way people talk about them, you'd think they're a miracle cure for your brain, body, and soul. But in an age of algorithm-fueled evangelism, when a ritual becomes this ubiquitous and loud, we have to ask: how much of the buzz is backed by science… and how much is just marketing? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of cold exposure: what's real, what's overstated, and why this "discomfort" has become a billion-dollar industry. We discuss: Why cold plunges went viral, and how wellness movements often devolve into identity-driven cultures The difference between cold exposure itself and the monetized "cold plunge movement" What constitutes a "cult" (and how pseudoscience forms around partial truths) The real physiological cold shock response Why the mental "high" after a plunge doesn't automatically equal long-term brain benefit The cardiovascular risks that rarely get discussed, especially for people with underlying heart disease What the research suggests about soreness, pain reduction, and muscle growth (including why cold immersion can blunt hypertrophy) The real story behind brown fat Who should avoid cold plunges altogether (asthma, arrhythmias, coronary disease, vascular conditions) Joining us for this conversation is investigative journalist and bestselling author Scott Carney (What Doesn't Kill Us, The Wedge), who has spent years inside the cold exposure world, first as a skeptic, then as a believer, and eventually as a critic of the culture that formed around it. His work reveals what happens when discomfort becomes identity, and when unfounded "social media science" outruns real science.
