One family recipe has grown into one of the fastest-rising brands in ready-to-drink cocktails. Inspired by her mother's gin, lemonade, and mint summer cooler, Meredith Mills-Merritt founded The Original Southside with a vision to bring premium ingredients, elevated branding, and transparency to a category that had long prioritized convenience over craftsmanship. Leveraging her background in prestige beauty, she obsessed over every detail—from developing a proprietary gin to creating a cocktail that's certified organic, vegan, gluten-free, and 10% ABV. That attention to detail has fueled remarkable growth. Since launching in 2024, Southside has expanded into more than 20 markets, landed on shelves at Whole Foods and Total Wine, increased shipments by more than 370%, and continues its national expansion through Meijer, Rouses, and more than 90 additional Whole Foods locations. Beyond the product itself, Meredith is reshaping conversations around alcohol transparency as co-founder of the Clean Alcohol Collective, advocating for clearer ingredient standards across the industry.

We may be in this world, yet we are not of this world. When God delivered us, we are no longer under Egyptian authority. We will be the distinct children of God.

This week Ruth welcomes writer Jonathan Merritt for a conversation on the intersection of our sexuality and spirituality.  Jonathan describes growing up at the center of conservative evangelical culture as a Southern Baptist leader's son, internalizing damaging stories about homosexuality that produced shame, secrecy, and hiding. He recounts experiences of God's presence, guidance, and “shattering” as the great iconoclast, including being publicly outed in 2012, leaving his church context, and entering a wilderness of discernment. Both Ruth and Jonathan connect on their shared experience with pastor fathers and the ways their identities did not live up to expectations. Merritt reflects on the long, costly work of reaching across a fixed chasm with his parents through private, intentional conversations, emphasizing patience, waiting, and letting God be God in others' lives.    On Substack this week, we are sharing a very special conversation with pastor and TC alum, David Hughes, who shares his perspective as a father coming to terms with his son's sexuality.   Season 29 is titled Becoming Human: With God in Our Bodies. Our goals this season are to confront the dualism between life in the body and life in the spirit, to hear stories of people who experienced their bodies as a place of encounter with God, and to explore the connection between the integration of life in our bodies and our spiritual lives with our leadership. We will be having deep, spiritual conversations with friends of the Transforming Center about their very human experiences in their bodies and how they've experienced God in and throughout these experiences. We will explore God in concrete bodily realities like gender, sexuality, race, ability, aging, illness, and death, to name a few.

Legendary Canadian rock band 54-40 have released their new album PORTO with the current Top 40 rock radio single “Running For The Fence” - recorded in Portugal with longtime producer Warne Livesey - and they'll be at Delta's Barns To Beaches Festival on June 20.But the bigger story is that this is one of the longest-running bands in Canadian music history still led by its founders: Neil Osborne and Brad Merritt have stood side by side since they formed the band as Vancouver teenagers in 1980, with drummer Matt Johnson aboard nearly 40 years. Across 45 years, 17-plus albums, and well over 2,500 shows, they helped invent a distinctly Canadian alt-rock sound alongside The Tragically Hip and Blue Rodeo - and inspired everyone from Our Lady Peace to the Arkells.There's a remarkable backstory here too. Their classic "I Go Blind" was a song their own U.S. label deemed unworthy of a full release in 1986 - then, a decade later, Hootie & the Blowfish's cover landed on the Friends soundtrack and rocketed into the Billboard Top 5, and the royalties let 54-40 build their own Vancouver studio. It's one of Canadian music's great vindication stories, and the song was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2021. That thread - a band that did it their own way, outlasted the industry that doubted them, and is still making vital new music at 45 - runs straight through PORTO, which Osborne calls "an album about renewal and resilience."

In this episode, Ally sits down with Meredith Mills-Merritt, founder and CEO of The Original Southside, a premium ready-to-drink gin cocktail inspired by her mom's summer recipe that has grown into 20+ markets, landed on shelves at Whole Foods and Total Wine, and seen shipments grow more than 370% in its second year. Meredith brings a background in prestige beauty brand management that shaped everything about how she built Southside, from putting a full ingredient list on her cans (a rarity in alcohol) to investing in in-person demo and event marketing over digital spend. She opens up about navigating the alcohol industry's notoriously complex three-tier distribution system, how landing early partnerships with the Stanley Cup–winning Florida Panthers and LSU Athletics accelerated the brand's growth, and what she'd tell any aspiring founder sitting on an idea in their notes app right now. Key Takeaways:// 95% of the marketing budget goes to in-person, IRL events, and it's working. Demos, tastings, and events where consumers are already in a consumption mindset are where Southside wins the most efficiently. Her tip: book the 4–7pm demo slot at Whole Foods, not the 11am one — because alcohol shopping is a mindset, not just a product category. When people try it, they buy it. That's the whole strategy.// Take calculated risks on partnerships early, even when they feel too big. When the Florida Panthers and LSU Athletics came calling, Meredith said yes, not because she had the budget of a legacy brand, but because arenas and live events are exactly the consumption environments that drive trial at scale. Those early partnerships created case studies she now uses to unlock new distributors, retailers, and markets.// The alcohol industry has a transparency problem, and consumers deserve better. Alcohol is one of the only major consumer categories where ingredient labeling isn't legally required. Meredith discovered during her own production process that a proposed additive (sodium benzoate) could produce benzene when combined with vitamin C — a known carcinogen. That discovery delayed her launch by six months and eventually led her to co-found the Clean Alcohol Collective.// If you're already thinking about starting something, that's the sign. Meredith's advice for aspiring founders: if you're already turning the idea over in your mind, you probably won't be at peace until you try it. The messy middle between failure and exit is where the real growth happens — and even if it doesn't work out, you'll come out the other side with something you built for yourself.Connect with Meredith: InstagramLearn More: Website____Join the MHH Collective!

What if the reason you can't stick to diets has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with how your brain is wired? In episode 263 of Joy Found Here, Lizzie Merritt, bestselling author and certified weight loss coach, reveals how a daily 4:37 PM snack spiral became her wake-up call. From middle school science teacher to coach, Lizzie shows that weight loss isn't about food or willpower. It's about teaching your brain to feel safe enough to change. Through her books "You Are a Miracle" and "LIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight Loss," she cracks the code on why traditional diets fail and why her brain-based method actually works.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(5:31) How a daily 4:37 PM snack habit turned into a binge cycle, even though she knew exactly what to do(7:07) The 2:33 AM moment in Guam when loneliness and overwhelm forced her to choose between the hamster wheel or finding the missing piece(10:53) Why diets literally work against the way women's brains are wired, no matter how smart or capable they are(15:20) How deleting tracking apps and asking "Am I hungry?" started to shift her relationship with food(20:12) Why feeling safe around food and stress is the actual foundation, not discipline or willpower(29:37) The L.I.G.H.T. Method: how teaching your body to feel safe makes change feel possible instead of threatening(47:25) Why reframing food as a choice instead of a moral judgment changes the entire dynamic(48:07) How the Confident Body Podcast became her platform for reaching women who are tired of starting over every MondayLizzie Merritt is a former middle school science teacher turned certified weight loss coach and bestselling author. She helps smart, capable women break free from rule-following diet cycles. Through her L.I.G.H.T. Method, she teaches a brain-based approach that works with your brain instead of against it. She reminds women that the life you want to lose weight for is waiting on the other side of safety, not suffering.Lizzie takes you back to the 2:33 AM moment that changed everything. On a tiny island, she discovered through neuroscience that our brains seek comfort when they don't feel safe. Strict rules create a threat, nervous systems shut down, and shame becomes constant. As she learned to feel safe around food and change, mental real estate freed up. She opens up about why rule-following backfires in diets and how her podcast became an act of courage. By the end, Stephanie and Lizzie map out why Monday resets are symptoms, not solutions, and why breakthroughs happen when you stop waiting to lose weight and start living the life you want.Connect with Lizzie:InstagramFacebookLinkedInListen to The Confident Body podcastBooks:You Are A Miracle : How to Lose Weight and Love Your Body TooLIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight LossLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

We showcase recordings from this year's RSAC. At RSAC Conference 2026, Scott Clinton, Co-Chair and co-founder of the OWASP GenAI Security Project, shares insights from the project's latest research, including new landscape guides and evolving approaches to securing generative and agentic AI systems. The conversation explores critical gaps in GenAI data security, the rise of AI-assisted development, and the immense growth of the OWASP community and sponsor ecosystem. Looking ahead, he outlines the most urgent risks and priorities shaping AI and agentic security in 2026. Then Merritt Maxim discusses how AI is affecting Identity and Access Management. Expect to hear this topic a lot throughout 2026, especially as the industry tries to figure out what's different or special about securing agent identities. We close with a chat with Janet Worthington about the impact of agents on the SDLC and how orgs are updating their controls to deal with code generated by humans and LLMs alike.
