My guest was born in Spain, in the Canary Islands. His father was from Austria and his mom from Chicago. The two met in art school in Vienna. Wenzly speaks English, German and Portuguese. As Wenzl explains , his earliest childhood memories are of him being wrapped/strapped to his mom's back while she painted for hours on end. "She a very dedicated artist," shares McGowan. "Her work ethic, her love for art, and also her commitment to being her authentic self has totally made me who I am. I owe a lot to this wonderful woman." Spending time outdoors and exploring nature was a big part of Wenzl's childhood. He loved building tree houses and exploring the ancient art of building structures with stone among other things. One of the main gifts that Wenzl believes his mom gave him when he was a child was "she would never punish me for being my authentic self." Wenzl was very driven and his mom knew not to ever push him in a specific direction. "I think my mom wanted me to have the freedom to decide for myself what I think is good and how I want to spend my time. And she had this respect for me that I think not many people have for their kids." According to Wenzl he's "now moving more in the direction of meditation teacher, author and conscientious explorer, philosopher that kind of thing excites me a lot. "Mom was a great singer and flautist but it came too easy to her so she stuck with her art because she didn't feel that she was an artist at all. We both like to challenge ourselves. "Perhaps I don't have my stuff together myself. If I want to change the world, or hope for a better future, then I need to change myself," continues McGowen. Phenomenal mother, person and artist. Her art is really starting to get noticed. Brooke's philosophy on painting is similar to how she raised Wenzyl. "When she paints, she respects that the paint has their own will. She doesn't use brushes but pours paint on the canvas. And So yes, the paint really does do a lot of things that the artist doesn't expect, because she's not using it in a very controlled way but she is playing with that boundary of loosing control over the paint, but also respecting the paint's freedom to add to the painting in a spontaneous way.

Season 20, Episode 12 of The Adventures of Pipeman.Chapter 1:KID BOOKIE - Rose McGowan (feat. Rose McGowan) released on 20th Jan * (early hrs of Tuesday morning)Rose has said…. "I chose Kid Bookie because the moment I heard him, I knew our collaboration would be electric. His DM to me in 2024 was direct and real, but hearing the track sealed it. His ability to go from melody to a full-throttle roar over a propulsive beat had purpose and fire. After years of silence, I arrived in South London with no lyrics and no idea if creativity was still in me. In the studio, I tore a page from an engineer's manual and wrote my first lyrics in six years. Bookie called it Rose McGowan ft. Rose McGowan. And it was an honor that he named the track after the essence of me before I'd even written a word. Bookie reached across an ocean. I reached back. The rest is this track; this cultural moment. I hope it resonates with all needing a release with a dose of ascension. I'm mad for it”.Kid BookieTwo-time MOBO AWARD nominated alternative artist & Heavy Music Awards nominated (Best Breakthrough Live Artist) artist.Kid Bookie has carved out a unique lane in the UK music scene through a blend of genre-bending ambition and high-profile collaborations.Bookie has earnt recognition across both rap and rock circles, highlighted by his acclaimed feature on Hacktivist's “Armoured Core” and his collaboration “Game” with Slipknot's Corey Taylor.Rose McGowanPlayed Tatum Riley in the horror classic Scream but arguably best known for playing Paige Matthews on Charmed.Time magazine named her one of the “Silence Breakers” (Person of the Year) in 2017.Published a memoir called Brave (2018), where she talks about her life, trauma, and work. - Rose is both a pop culture figure (through acting) and a social voice: her speaking out on abuse and power. Her work spans many mediums: acting, writing, music, and art.Her life story is compelling: from a very unconventional childhood to Hollywood success and then activism.Chapter 2:Ryan Roxie Guests on Rocky's Rock and Roll Symphony; New Song & Video Premiere on YouTubeFight Another Day the brand-new single and official videoRyan Roxie, longtime guitarist for rock legend Alice Cooper, was the featured guest on Rocky's Rock and Roll Symphony, which aired on Christmas Day on the Music From The 412 platform and is now available On Demand via https://musicfromthe412.com/ryan-roxie/ and Roku.Recorded on the eve of Alice Cooper and Judas Priest's Pittsburgh concert, the intimate appearance featured an acoustic performance, audience Q&A, and meet-and-greet.

When you're writing, it's easy to get stuck chasing perfection. But here's the truth: the first draft is just the beginning—the real transformation happens in revision. Giving yourself permission to be imperfect is what makes progress possible. The messy middle, the rewrites, the second-guessing—that's where the book (and the author) truly take shape. I'm living this right now as I wrap up edits on my fourth book, “LAUNCH Your Book! An Entrepreneur's Guide to Reviews That Drive Revenue,” set to launch in July 2025. Want a behind-the-scenes look at how I turn a book into a business asset? Join my book launch team at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Today, we'll hear from authors about their journey from blank page to published book. Bridgett McGowen-Hawkins co-wrote “Do Not Write a Book...Until You Read This One: The Only Guide You Need to Pen, Publish, and Profit from Your Nonfiction Book,” a no-nonsense, empowering guide that helps aspiring nonfiction authors navigate the publishing process with confidence. Robert Aguilar wrote “Forget What You Know About Strategy: The Hazards of Strategic Planning,” a powerful guide for senior leaders seeking to master strategy formulation and execution, offering real-world insights to avoid pitfalls and drive transformative change in today's fast-paced business landscape. Sophie Lechner wrote “Unlock Your Impact: The Roadmap to Magnetic Client Attraction for Entrepreneurs Who Hate Marketing,” a refreshing guide for mission-driven entrepreneurs who want to attract clients naturally—by leading with purpose instead of self-promotion—and transform marketing from a dreaded task into a joyful extension of their impact. Please join me in welcoming Bridgett, Robert, and Sophie. In this episode, we discuss the following:
In this insightful episode of "Journeys of Not So Ordinary People," hosts Dr. Dave Peltz and Dr. Joe Hamlett are joined by guest Bridgett McGowan, a professional speaker and publisher, to delve into the crucial topic of "Breaking The Pattern." Bridget defines this as boldly rejecting the status quo and the self-imposed limitations—be it mindset, habits, or fear—that hold individuals back. It's about consciously deciding "enough is enough," stopping the rehearsal of limitations, and starting to live out one's possibilities by rewriting personal scripts and raising one's own standards. Bridget emphasizes that breaking patterns isn't accidental but requires a combination of awareness, courage, and action. She outlines a process: recognizing the unhelpful loop, being brutally honest that it's not working, making a firm decision to change now, taking action (even small steps), and then consistently repeating the new, desired pattern. Key themes include the power of tiny, consistent steps over grand gestures (referencing "Atomic Habits"), understanding that confidence is a consequence of action rather than a prerequisite, and the importance of showing up authentically, with purpose, even when scared. Overcoming "analysis paralysis" (which Bridget calls "fear wearing a lab coat") by setting deadlines and taking immediate, small actions is also highlighted as crucial for moving forward. The episode powerfully encourages listeners to stop waiting, take control of their narrative, and actively build the future they desire.JONSOP https://jonsop.comjonsopdr2@gmail.com Bridgett McGowenhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bmcgowen/https://www.connectwithb.comDr. Joe Hamlett dr.joehamlett@gmail.com http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjoehamlett/ http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com/linkinbio/ Dr. Dave Peltz PeltzCS@outlook.com https://www.PeltzConsultingServices.com/services https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-david-peltz-phd/ https://tinyurl.com/DrDavePeltz Music intro & Outro provided by David T.

TIR speaks to philosopher and author Todd McGowan about his new book “Enjoyment Right and Left”. While understanding the psychological structure of pleasure and desire might seem to be unrelated to understanding our current political crisis, Todd McGowan argues that the intrinsically excessive nature of what Lacan would call jouissance, what McGowan calls Enjoyment, is critically important to understand as we try to overcome the contradictions and conflicts that arise in a world that appears split between right and left. The discursive analysis of ideology fails to capture the mode of enjoyment an ideology mobilizes. In his new path-breaking book, Todd McGowan elaborates on the formal structure of enjoyment which distinguishes the Left from the Right. The enjoyment mobilized by the Left is not sustained by envy and resentment. It leaves behind the motifs of the theft of enjoyment that permeates racism and sexism. Enjoyment Right and Left deserves to become an instant classic - it cuts into the very heart of what is wrong in today's fundamentalism and its apparent opposite, permissive liberalism. - Slavoj Žižek, author of Less Than Nothing https://www.amazon.com/.../B0BDHX2QKG/ref=asc_df_B0BDHX2QKG https://www.sublationmedia.com/produ.../enjoyment-left-right https://www.uvm.edu/cas/english/profiles/todd-mcgowan About TIR Thank you for supporting the show!

After Kent McGowen was convicted in 1994 for the murder of Susan White, his conviction was overturned during his appeals process. Kent went back to trial in 2002, and was again found guilty, but was sentenced to 20 years - five more years than his previous sentence. After Kent's release in 2021, he began fighting for his exoneration, while speaking out about the injustices within the criminal justice system.Kent's GiveSendGo for an attorneyhttps://givesendgo.com/G31TC?utm_source=sharelink&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=G31TCDon't forget to checkout the new website!www.fthatpod.comIf you liked what you heard today, give the podcast a like, review, and subscribe.Follow F**k That on Facebook, TikTok and Twitter @fthatpodInstagram @fthat_podThank you to this week's sources:SAMHSADisaster Technical Assistance Center Supplemental Research Bulletin First Responders: Behavioral Health Concerns, Emergency Response, and Trauma May, 2018 https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/dtac/supplementalresearchbulletin-firstresponders-may2018.pdfAmerican JusticeSeason 28: E2 Conversation with Todd Morong – shared with permissionApril 8th, 2023 Conversations with Kent McGowen – shared with permission Documentary – Abuse of Police Power Court of Appeals of Texas, Houston (14th Dist.).Joseph Kenton McGOWEN, Appellant, v.The STATE of Texas,Appellee.

After Harris County Deputy Kent McGowen fatally shot and killed Susan White on August 25th, 1992, ADA's Ed Porter and Don Smyth were immediately suspicious that this was not done in self-defense. Rumors began to swirl that Kent and Susan had a brief relationship, and once it was ended, Kent was left enraged. Depositions showed that Susan believed she was being sexually harassed by Kent, but no formal reports or complaints were made. Investigators were soon convinced Susan White's death was not self-defense, and Kent was indicted by a Grand Jury on October 27th, 1992. Kent was found guilty and was sentenced to 15 years on March 11th, 1994, but due toTexas law regarding bonds pending appeal, Kent was able to stay out of prison during the appeals process.Kent's GiveSendGo for an attorneyhttps://givesendgo.com/G31TC?utm_source=sharelink&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=G31TCDon't forget to checkout the new website!www.fthatpod.comIf you liked what you heard today, give the podcast a like, review, and subscribe.Follow F**k That on Facebook, TikTok and Twitter @fthatpodInstagram @fthat_podThank you to this week's sources:American JusticeSeason 28: E2 Conversation with Todd Morong – shared with permissionApril 8th, 2023 Conversations with Kent McGowen – shared with permission Documentary – Abuse of Police Power Court of Appeals of Texas, Houston (14th Dist.).Joseph Kenton McGOWEN, Appellant, v.The STATE of Texas,Appellee.

Kent McGowen was a Texas Police officer who attended an incident involving an arrest warrant which eventually resulted in the death of a woman. He served 20 years in prison.It was August 1992 when he executed a felony warrant while working in a sting to recover stolen firearms.In a complex chain of events, he shot the woman in self-defence.But the circumstances are much more intricate than the above indicates. it's a story of contacts, power play and witness tampering.If it could happen to a serving officer, it doesn't look good for the rest of us.** OPPERMAN EXCLUSIVE **Recorded April 14 2023
True Crime Tuesday presents: Self Defense Or Murder: The Exoneration Of Kent McGowen with former Police Officer/Ex-Convict Kent McGowen In August of 1992, Kent McGowen had a CI that he ad given money to, to purchase a weapon as part of a larger operation to shut down a gang that was running weapons just outside of Houston, Texas. When the buy went down, a set of strange circumstances brought him in the sights of Susan White, a middle aged housewife, who was far from your average suburbanite. She showed up at the scene of the gun buy, because her son was arrested, along with the CI. Susan was far from being in any condition to be dealing with the situation, as it is reported that she was under the influence of substances, slurring her words, and eventually threatened Kent before it was all over. Fast Forward to the night in question, a warrant is issued for Susan White's residence. and Kent is told to go out there with only a few men. They knock for quite some time while Susan calls 911 (apparently while intoxicated and claiming she has a past with Kent) and claims she needs help and protection from the police at her door. After getting permission from his superiors, Kent's squad breaks down the door. After seeing Susan run into her bedroom, Kent follows, only to enter and see Susan pull a gun on him. he tells her to drop the gun repeatedly to no avail. With that, Kent fires three shots. The shooting is initially ruled a good shot. What comes afterwards was a complete nightmare! Kent joins TCT to get out his side of the story after 30 years of a negative narrative has haunted him, and to talk about the corruption that kept him behind bars for 20 years, plus tells us what we can do to help!

My guest was born in Spain, in the Canary Islands. His father was from Austria and his mom from Chicago. The two met in art school in Vienna. Wenzly speaks English, German and Portuguese.As Wenzl explains , his earliest childhood memories are of him being wrapped/strapped to his mom's back while she painted for hours on end. "She a very dedicated artist," shares McGowan. "Her work ethic, her love for art, and also her commitment to being her authentic self has totally made me who I am. I owe a lot to this wonderful woman."Spending time outdoors and exploring nature was a big part of Wenzl's childhood. He loved building tree houses and exploring the ancient art of building structures with stone among other things. One of the main gifts that Wenzl believes his mom gave him when he was a child was "she would never punish me for being my authentic self." Wenzl was very driven and his mom knew not to ever push him in a specific direction. "I think my mom wanted me to have the freedom to decide for myself what I think is good and how I want to spend my time. And she had this respect for me that I think not many people have for their kids." According to Wenzl he's "now moving more in the direction of meditation teacher, author and conscientious explorer, philosopher that kind of thing excites me a lot. "Mom was a great singer and flautist but it came too easy to her so she stuck with her art because she didn't feel that she was an artist at all. We both like to challenge ourselves."Perhaps I don't have my stuff together myself. If I want to change the world, or hope for a better future, then I need to change myself," continues McGowen. Phenomenal mother, person and artist. Her art is really starting to get noticed. Brooke's philosophy on painting is similar to how she raised Wenzyl. "When she paints, she respects that the paint has their own will. She doesn't use brushes but pours paint on the canvas. And So yes, the paint really does do a lot of things that the artist doesn't expect, because she's not using it in a very controlled way but she is playing with that boundary of loosing control over the paint, but also respecting the paint's freedom to add to the painting in a spontaneous way.

Guests: Tiffany McGowen, VP of Talent Acquisition Jennifer Mathew, Manager of Talent Acquisition Paycom's Tiffany McGowen and Jennifer Mathew join host Morgan Beard to discuss talent acquisition in an ever-changing marketplace. “The first thing is acknowledging that we know it's a different market,” said Mathew, Paycom's manager of talent acquisition. “What we did yesterday might not work today, and what we do today might not work tomorrow.” McGowen, Paycom's vice president of talent acquisition, shared similar sentiments regarding the future of hiring. “Just seek first to understand, and then build your strategy to react and react quickly, but don't overreact,” she said. With so much unknown, it's essential to be proactive with talent acquisition management, but finding a starting point can be challenging. In this episode of HR Break Room®, McGowen and Mathew discuss: the current state of recruiting and candidate markets what candidates want from prospective positions recruiting efficiently in a hot labor market For more on how recruiters can attract and retain top talent, check out our blog post, Securing Top Talent With Unconventional Benefits.
