How are we feeling, Detroit? A special podcast episode as Norris Howard and Shianne Nocerini join Jer at the studio in TechTown. We don't just discuss a bit about what's on the ground, but how are we feeling ahead of the election on Tuesday. We explore what this means for Detroit and the broader political landscape, touching on the impact of issues like Roe v. Wade and the dynamics within different communities. Then, a cultural detour to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, where Shianne shares her experience of watching a live performance of "Nightmare Before Christmas" with the orchestra. Discover what other movie scores the DSO has in store for the season, including Harry Potter, Batman, and The Lions King. Finally, an age-old question: Are we Michiganders or Michiganians? We share our thoughts and invite listeners to weigh in on this quintessential Michigan identity topic - spurred on that we noticed a local publication heavily use Michiganian.

How has the response been to this topic, as you've stopped at various spots across Michigan? We last caught up with you about the midpoint of your journey while you were in the Upper Peninsula.

Welcome to our World of Woo and Wonderful Weirdness. Kelsay Elizabeth Myers and I, from the first day we met, realized we were Sisters from another Mister AND Mistress! We both have Michiganian family roots, both grew up feeling like outsiders for very different reasons. In order to cope with the challenges of this we turned to creative expression - writing, acting, singing and dancing into our adulthood. In our early 30's we realized we needed more to heal the unique traumas we experienced as children and early adulthood and deepened into spirituality. Kelsay tells of how she was a reluctant medium since childhood until she started on her path to becoming a Reiki Master. Leela explains how Astrology helped her map her healing journey since the age of 10. And more recently they have found purpose and direction in their studies and application of Human Design to their lives. They both happen to be Projectors. This episode reveals how healing doesn't just have to be work but can be a delightful and enriching adventure. You can find What I Didn't Call My Therapist on all major podcast platforms!

Karen discusses the Aspen Institute's recent call for the Biden administration to establish a presidential council on financial inclusion, and Josh S. talks about Filene's recent focus on providing credit unions with tools to improve members' financial health.

The 2022 NFL Draft is upon us, so the last episode of season 4 of Conversations with features a chat with former Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand. Since the Lions have always been a story on draft day because of their success, or a=lack thereof, I thought Tom would be a perfect finish to this season. Lewand took over the Lions presidency after the Matt Millen era. He and GM Martin Mayhew tried to put the pieces together after that period. It wasn't as successful as Tom wanted, and while he was relieved of his duties, his story is still a remarkable rise from a student manager on the University of Michigan Football teams of Bo Schembechler, to a CEO and President of an NFL franchise and beyond that, a CEO for major corporations. A native Detroiter and lifetime Michiganian, Tom was the point man to get Ford Field built, and he is still at it in the business world as CEO of the Marygrove Conservancy. He is a fascinating guy, with a fascinating history and you can hear about all of his various triumphs and experiences in this Conversation with...Tom Lewand

“Opportunities come with opposition and the greater the opportunity the greater you're gonna have the opposition.” Pastor Solomon Kinloch Jr.  Denise talks to Pastor Solomon Kinloch Jr., lead pastor at Triumph Church in Detroit since 1998. Raised by strong and courageous parents who modeled perseverance, as a child his mother challenged him to find the word “quit” in a dictionary. When he reported that he couldn't find it in any dictionary in their home she revealed that it was because she had removed it from them all!   It's no wonder Pastor Kinloch is most proud of his own wife and son, calling them the jewels in his crown. His family is a source of strength, along with the time he spends following Jesus' mandate to pray. Listening to and reading the testimonies of others also gives him the confidence to encounter whatever comes his way. He loves the story of Job in the Bible, who faced extreme adversity but was refined as “pure gold” by his trials, which God never uses to defeat us but rather to develop us and make us better.   His life is marked by sincere devotion to helping others and allowing people to help him, something he saw time and again in his neighborhood church as a boy. The platform of minister is designed to uplift an entire community not just individuals. Triumph Church's ministries reflect his philosophy of partnering with people to make a difference in a very public way to ensure people can see the impact of their giving. He believes in spiritual and social responsibility.   To get involved visit Triumph Church's website https://www.triumphch.org/give.   Need help? Contact the church at 313-386-8044 or OFFICEOFTHEPASTOR@TRIUMPHCHURCH.ORG.  ***  A minister since the age of fourteen, Pastor Solomon Kinloch Jr. serves as the lead pastor at Triumph Church in Detroit since 1998. Under his leadership, Triumph Church blossomed into a multi-site phenomenon, with eight campuses hosting fourteen weekly services for more than 35,000 members.

He lives in Detroit with his wife Robin and son Kadin Elijiah.  Denise Ilitch, an owner of Ilitch Family Companies and President of Ilitch Enterprises, has been a part of Detroit's business and philanthropic community for over 40 years.  As a mother, lawyer, entrepreneur, devoted community servant and tireless advocate for women and children, she learned early, from her father, that everyone is worthy of contributing to the world.  Her passion for affordable, accessible, quality education stems from her own experience as a first-generation student, earning a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan, where she currently serves on the Board of Regents.   FOLLOW DENISE @thedeniseilitchshow   TO LEARN MORE about all our inspiring podcasts visit https://www.lifestough.com/.

Episode 17 - Tim Robertson is driven by his faith, his work ethic, and the desire to make a difference in people's lives. After half a decade of success as a mortgage banker helping people buy and refinance their homes, he joined his father, David, as a financial advisor at The Financial Center. “With my father, I saw first-hand how you can do more good for people on a remarkable level, change their lives and help them create intergenerational wealth,” Robertson says. “That's incredibly special.” As an advisor with both his Series 7 and Series 66 securities licenses, Robertson is qualified to act as a wealth and asset manager, with fiduciary responsibility for his client's funds. He also carries licenses to advise clients on life/health insurance, annuities, and long-term care. He has also achieved the National Social Security Advisor certificate from the National Social Security Association LLC based in Cincinnati, Ohio. “We offer clients the security of working with one person and one team,” he says. “With all parties under one roof, we can ensure that our clients are getting the best care. Our full range of financial services includes estate planning so that clients no longer have to face the uncertainty, expense, and inconvenience of dealing with an outside estate planning attorney.” Providing a complete spectrum of retirement and estate planning services appeals to both long-standing clients and to new clients, many of whom favor using technology to manage their financial solutions, Robertson says. “With our digital tools like estate plan ™ clients gain control over every phase of their estate plan,” he adds. “The average person changes their estate plan 2.5 times. Gone are the days when they have to pay thousands of dollars for every change. We provide a solution that is faster, more cost-efficient, and makes sure every phase is completed so clients experience peace of mind.” Offering the flexibility of face-to-face as well as screen-to-screen consultations is key in today's evolving social and financial environment, Robertson says. A life-long Michiganian, Robertson played lacrosse on the University of Detroit team and is a football fan. He is an outdoor sportsman and an advocate for the preservation of our National Parks. He loves to travel and has a goal of visiting every continent. “I believe in the Golden Rule and inequality for all people,” he says. “A lot of people are under the impression that estate planning is only for millionaires. But it's actually for everyone who wants to control their own financial future, for themselves and for their loved ones.” Timothy is a registered representative with Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. and an investment advisor associate of The Financial Center, LLC.

Episode 17 - Tim Robertson is driven by his faith, his work ethic, and the desire to make a difference in people’s lives. After half a decade of success as a mortgage banker helping people buy and refinance their homes, he joined his father, David, as a financial advisor at The Financial Center. “With my father, I saw first-hand how you can do more good for people on a remarkable level, change their lives and help them create intergenerational wealth,” Robertson says. “That’s incredibly special.” As an advisor with both his Series 7 and Series 66 securities licenses, Robertson is qualified to act as a wealth and asset manager, with fiduciary responsibility over his client’s funds. He also carries licenses to advise clients on life/health insurance, annuities, and long-term care. He has also achieved the National Social Security Advisor certificate from the National Social Security Association LLC based in Cincinnati, Ohio. “We offer clients the security of working with one person and one team,” he says. “With all parties under one roof, we can ensure that our clients are getting the best care. Our full range of financial services includes estate planning so that clients no longer have to face the uncertainty, expense, and inconvenience of dealing with an outside estate planning attorney.” Providing a complete spectrum of retirement and estate planning services appeals to both long-standing clients and to new clients, many of whom favor using technology to manage their financial solutions, Robertson says. “With our digital tools like eStatePlan ™ clients gain control over every phase of their estate plan,” he adds. “The average person changes their estate plan 2.5 times. Gone are the days when they have to pay thousands of dollars for every change. We provide a solution that is faster, more cost efficient and makes sure every phase is completed so clients experience peace of mind.” Offering the flexibility of face-to-face as well as screen-to-screen consultations is key in today’s evolving social and financial environment, Robertson says. A life-long Michiganian, Robertson played lacrosse on the University of Detroit team and is a football fan. He is an outdoor sportsman and an advocate for the preservation of our National Parks. He loves to travel and has a goal of visiting every continent. “I believe in the Golden Rule and in equality for all people,” he says. “A lot of people are under the impression that estate planning is only for millionaires. But it’s actually for everyone who wants to control their own financial future, for themselves and for their loved ones.” Timothy is a registered representative with Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. and an investment advisor associate of The Financial Center, LLC.

I would like to thank Diane Steinberg Lewis for trusting me to help bring forth her mother's and her legacy in the African American community. We interviewed Martha Jean “The Queen” Steinberg's (1930 – 2000) daughter about their families' legendary past and how they made History. The Queen was the first African American Female to own her own radio station. We will dedicate a whole week to this families legecy. They are truly “Threads in our Fabric.” Martha Jean "The Queen" Steinberg, a black radio pioneer and scholar, helped set the guidelines and standards for black radio in America. "The Queen" started her radio career in 1954 at WDIA, in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1963, radio station WCHB in Inkster, Michigan invited her to the Detroit area where she became an instant success. In 1982, Steinberg went to WQBH radio as vice president and general manager. Fourteen years later, Steinberg purchased WQBH (Queen's Broadcasting Corporation) and became president and general manager. She was the first African American female to own a radio station. Steinberg contributed greatly to the development of black radio. She was one of four black radio pioneers at the New York City Museum of Television and Radio's first-ever seminar on "Black Radio, Yesterday and Today." She was featured in the Radio America series "Passing It On: Voices from Black America's Past," broadcast in 1995. She narrated the documentary on Barry Gordy and the early years of the Motown Sound, entitled "The Music & The Story," for The Henry Ford. She continued to host her noontime “Inspirations with the Queen” broadcasts on WQBH until two weeks before her death. Steinberg was inducted into the prestigious State of Michigan Black Women's Hall of Fame at the Detroit Historical Museum in 1993 and she was featured in Radio Smithsonian's "Black Radio: Telling it Like it Was." In 1998 she was inducted into the Michigan Women's Historical Center and Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Steinberg received a number of awards for her outstanding achievements. The School of Social Work, Alumni Association, Wayne State University presented her with the U.S. Citizen of the Year award for her extraordinary contributions to the community. She also received the Michiganian of the Year award in 1996, an award recommended by Detroit newspaper readers and news staffs in recognition of contributions to the community and to the betterment of life in Michigan. Martha Jean Steinberg was the single mother of three daughters, all of whom graduated from college and into successful careers. She was also a minister and founder of the nondenominational Order of the Fisherman Ministry. She was a founding partner for the MGM-Grand Casino in Detroit.

With two-decades as a beat cop under his belt, Jon Osborn fly fishes and bird hunts as often as possible. Author of Classic Michigan Flies – 16 Legendary Patterns (Stackpole, 2013), Jon regularly contributes to magazines such as Sporting Classics, Michigan BLUE, Pointing Dog Journal and Upland Almanac, among others. These days, he’s writing new book entitled, Flyfisher’s Guide to Michigan (Wilderness Adventures Press, 2019). A career in police work begs for balance and few pastimes fit the bill better than time spent in wild places. Fly fishing has drawn Jon to the Florida Keys flats, Wisconsin’s Driftless Region and the mountains of Colorado and Montana. That said, he’s a Michiganian to the core and loves nothing better than exploring secluded lakes and streams in his home state. Admittedly a bit eclectic, Jon prefers waxed-cotton and wool over nylon, bamboo over graphite and smokes a charred, corncob pipe. Come October, he wanders the autumn woods with a weatherworn side-by-side, insisting a quality experience is the essence of any adventure. Jon values faith, family and friends even more than hunting or fishing and shares his life with an amazing wife, two exceptional children and a hunt-crazed English setter. A close-knit circle of artists, educators, rod makers, guides and writers rank among his closest pals.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian Alex Byrne. We kick off the interview in unusual fashion and speak about peanut butter and jam, or jelly, sandwiches, I'd just discovered them and wanted to share their amazement with the world. Alex comes from Lucan in Dublin, so we get the lowdown on the village withing a city's borders. We speak about Alex being half stand-up comedian, half magician, and not half-Michiganian, coz I'd thought I seen the word Michigan when I should've been reading magician and proceeded to make a right tit of myself. We chat then about what attracted Alex to magic in the first place and about what he does for a living. He reveals a great tactic for getting rid of drunks that want to talk about his job on nights out. Alex has previously attended Dublin's Gaiety School of Acting so I wanted to know more about its acting courses, what he learned from it and what has been transferable to stand-up comedy. Alex enjoys gigging all over Ireland so we speak about whether he finds there's differences between city and country audiences. We speak about Alex's influences; Fr. Ted & Fawlty Towers both get a special mention. And finally then, we tackle that old myth about comedians being miserable and needing the validation and love of strangers.
