Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome Dominic Jordon, founder of Slevin Studio, for a bonus episode of Black and Snerdy. Jordon traces his path from an early clothing brand and freelance photo and video gigs into founding Slevin Studio, drawing a comparison to the HBO series How to Make It in America along the way. He points to his manga-style photo book, Tei Travels Volume One: Tokyo, Japan, styled after the visual work behind Your Name and Weathering With You, as the project he is most proud of, and offers advice to aspiring Black creatives about building community through Facebook and Discord groups. The conversation turns to anime-inspired tattoos, with Jordon explaining a Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood piece pulled from a Roy Mustang scene and naming A Silent Voice as a story about forgiveness that shaped his outlook, while Mo shows off a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure tattoo of his own.The Watch Out Now segment breaks down the first three episodes of the English dub of Ghost Stories, tracing how the anime flopped in Japan before American voice actors were given free rein to rewrite it, with comparisons made to Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Bleach Abridged, and Bob's Burgers before Jordon, Ode, and Mo each score it out of five snerds. A One Piece trivia game called Emoji Me Senpai follows, running Jordon and Ode through emoji clues built around characters including Luffy, Nico Robin, Trafalgar Law, Shanks, Mihawk, Big Mom, and Orochi. The Big Mad segment covers the industry's move away from physical media following the Funimation and Crunchyroll merger, ongoing MTA service disruptions, and concerns about AI tools such as Claude replacing literacy and critical thinking in education and medicine. Making Us Happy closes things out with the Kingdom Hearts 4 release window, an SVU return that may include New York Knicks player Jalen Brunson by way of Mariska Hargitay, and a family conversation Mo describes as difficult but rewarding.Dominic Jordon (aka creative_teddy7) is the founder and creative lead of Slevin Studio, a media production company based in Ogden, Utah.

What happens when the one thing holding you together starts to feel like it's slipping?This episode is for the woman whose faith has carried her through everything.....until even that started slipping.You'll learn:
Introduction What would it take for businesses to treat flood the way they treat fire? At a flood-exposed site, flooding is now twice as likely as fire, and 99% of those businesses have a fire plan. Only 8% have a flood action plan, down from 30% a year ago. In this episode, Joshua Hollander talks with Jonathan Jackson, CEO of Previsico, about why preparedness collapsed while adoption of early warning systems rose from 35% to 49%, and what the insurance industry could do about it, because it has closed a gap like this before. Listeners will leave with a working picture of how property-level flood forecasting gets built, bought, and priced into insurance programs, and what a founder-led CEO succession actually takes. Guest Bio Jonathan Jackson is the CEO of Previsico, the flood forecasting company he spun out of Loughborough University in January 2019 while serving as the university's entrepreneur in residence. Previsico predicts surface water flooding at individual property level up to 48 hours ahead, generates a new forecast every hour, and is live with Zurich, Liberty, Generali, Marsh, and around 200 corporates. Previsico is Jackson's fourth start-up, after ventures in telecoms, agriculture (Farming Online, the UK's longest-running B2B internet business), and CPG digital promotions. He hands the CEO role to Mark Trumper at the end of October and will stay on through the transition. Key Topics -Why flood plans collapsed from 30% to 8% - A broader survey base pulled in mid-sized firms with thinner risk management, and warning users discovered their generic emergency response plans don't actually cover flood. -The smoke detector playbook - US insurers drove fire alarm adoption from 25% to over 70% in about six years through premium incentives, and Jackson argues flood needs the same treatment now that US direct flood losses run five times fire. -What 48 hours of warning buys - Balfour Beatty went from a multimillion dollar loss on a rail bridge project to zero loss on the next flood, with a 36-hour first warning, staged action plans, and a sensor-triggered evacuation. -How insurers package prevention - Zurich Municipal embeds Previsico warnings in its premium at no added cost, while Liberty issues risk management bursaries (underwriting credits in US terms) to nudge exposed clients toward prevention. -Why surface water is the hardest flood to forecast - Every storm floods differently depending on track and intensity, which is why a live hydrodynamic model, rather than a static flood map, is required. -Cracking the US market - Under 5% of US properties carry flood insurance, carriers have limited appetite, and brokers and captives carry more of the load, so Previsico entered customer-led, with proof points at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the MTA, and Governors Island. -A three-year CEO succession - The handover stretched from a board conversation through a three-investor fundraise and a long search before Mark Trumper's arrival this October. Notable Quotes "Flood is five times bigger now than fire in terms of direct loss in the US. From an insurance point of view, it's the new fire." "They went from a multimillion dollar loss to a zero loss and were able to resume work the next day." "The original reason for us going into the US is because the customers wanted us over there, particularly the insurers." "It doesn't work like that in my life, it seems, because we then decided that actually we needed to go and do a fundraise."

[Heads up: technical issues affected the audio quality on this episode. Thanks for bearing with us — the conversation is still worth it.] The MTA says far fewer bus riders are paying the fare since Mayor Zohran Mamdani took office. Fare evasion has been a problem in the city for years, but MTA Chair Janno Lieber says Mamdani's campaign promise to make the city's buses free isn't helping. Mamdani has a different assessment, and blames the issue on the affordability crisis. WNYC and Gothamist transportation reporter Stephen Nessen and editor Clayton Guse explain what may be driving the issue and what comes next as the MTA plans to step up enforcement.

Keef Carter returns to Vigilantes Radio Live for a deeper conversation about identity, storytelling, ownership and the next evolution of his creative career.The Harlem alternative hip-hop artist first joined Coach Dini to discuss his ByKEEF trilogy, the influence of Kanye West and Cassidy, his unconventional MTA songwriting process, and his belief that art can bring people back to life.This time, one statement changes the entire conversation:“I'm not really an artist. I'm a writer.”Keef opens up about what that realization means, why “Black boy joy” became central to his storytelling, the role Harlem continues to play in his creative identity, and how art galleries, train rides, fashion, film and everyday observation shape his writing.The conversation also explores Keef's plans to build a music production label, what ownership really means in today's industry, whether he'd rather create a hit for someone else than perform one himself, and how his ambition is evolving beyond simply becoming a successful recording artist.With BYKEEFX3 approaching and an August 28 performance at Trixx Lounge in Indianapolis on the horizon, Keef isn't simply preparing another release.He's beginning to define what comes after being the person behind the microphone.Spotify linkhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/1rPIKcoL1H005DjUMcGFw8?si=cDi6dU4LSw28O_d34kGwqA&utm_source=copy-linkInstagram @keefnycarterBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.Vigilantes Radio Live! by The Only One Media Group ℗©2025Episode Credits:Produced, edited, mixed, and written by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Artwork designed by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Show Introduction by KateSegment jingles composed & produced by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Additional music licensed through 7th Sign RecordingsLinks:onlyonemediagroup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vigilantesradio/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-vigilantes-radio-live-29999229/https://www.instagram.com/whodiniblakin3d/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26009230/To support our show, please leave reviews, ratings, or you can help fuel the passion over at buymeacoffee.com/vigilantesradioEmail us at onlyonemgt@gmail.com or vradio@onlyonemediagroup.com
Twenty-five years on, the stories from 9/11 are the ones we cannot let calcify into a slogan. In this replay conversation, Paul sits down with retired FDNY firefighter Rich Naviasky — a Squad 18 brother, English major turned accidental fireman, and one of the countless first responders who walked from a gorgeous blue sky straight into what he calls Armageddon. Rich takes us minute by minute from his Long Island City apartment to the West Side Highway, onto a commandeered MTA bus loaded with tools, into the pile, into the pit, and into the quiet, gutting moments of recovering brothers he could not identify. From there the conversation opens into everything that came after — the 2007 Deutsche Bank fire that killed two of his brothers, the autoimmune disease that dropped his platelet count to 19,000 while the job refused to call it line of duty, the Halloween 2017 bike path attack, and the toll all of it takes on a marriage, a family, and a mind. It's brotherhood, dark humor, mental health, and the fight to make sure no first responder is ever again told their sickness doesn't count. If you want to understand why we say never forget — and why the fight for 9/11 responders is still not finished — start here. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

You start medication or therapy, things get better, and then a few years later the old struggles creep back in. You wonder if you did something wrong.This week, Skye Waterson is joined by Will Curb from Hacking Your ADHD for a Research Recap on the MTA study, the largest and most influential ADHD treatment trial ever conducted. Nearly 580 children were followed for 8 years to understand what happened after the initial treatment period.Together, Skye and Will unpack why the early differences between medication, behavioral therapy, combined treatment, and community care had largely disappeared by year 8. This is not a conversation about whether medication works. It is about what happens when ADHD is treated as a one time solution instead of an ongoing condition that changes as life becomes more demanding.What You'll Learn:Why the MTA study followed nearly 580 children across four treatment approachesWhy medication use dropped to about one third of participants by year 8Why even participants who remained on medication lost their early advantageWhy ADHD is better understood as a condition that requires sustained managementWhat "pills don't teach skills" really means for long term ADHD managementLearn more about Will and Hacking Your ADHD:https://hackingyouradhd.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@HackingYourADHDIf you're an entrepreneur with ADHD who's tired of being asked “Why don't you just hire/make a system/delegate?” We've gotchu!

So Eric pulled three of Pilothouse's most senior people onto the after-hours couch: Abby and Aves from the creative and strategy side, and Taylor from the Meta side, for a live conversation about what to do when the platform wobbles.If you buy media on Meta, or you're a founder whose revenue leans on it, this is the difference between a bad two weeks and a bad quarter.What you get:The tactical spin cycle. Performance dips, panic sets in, and buyers ship 15 more ads built off the ones already dying. That amplifies poor delivery and raises CPMs. "Amplification of what's not working is never the route forward."The full list of panic moves to skip: un-strategic ad volume, rushed channel expansion, rescue promos that train customers (and Meta) to expect discounts, account rebuilds, the "fresh pixel" request, and firing your agency.The diagnosis question: Meta crumbled, so what part of the business fell through? No new customers points one direction. No conversions points at email and retention first. The gap picks the channel.Stocking the pond. Why every brand should already know its next channel, and how to tell a reach problem (Pinterest) from a conversion problem (TikTok Shop) before you spend a dollar.The iOS 14.5 precedent: partial blindness, no drastic changes, better measurement on the other side.Pausing ads without tanking the account. Fractional touchpoints, checking median customer-journey length in your MTA before making the swing, and why Meta usually has a reason for pushing spend where it does.Creative is the targeting. Millennial moms who look identical on paper but speak completely different visual languages by region. Butter yellow instead of white. A luxury brand that sells milestone moments instead of USPs."This is an ad and it's so stupid." Why absurdist, self-aware ads are out-earning earnest millennial branding with marketing-aware customers.Where AI belongs (reporting, automation, surfacing phrases from your own data) and where it doesn't (creative direction, insights, your next steps). Plus the term for what happens when you outsource the thinking: cognitive debt.Who this is for: media buyers, creative strategists, and founders running meaningful spend on Meta right now.What to steal: the diagnosis question, the pause-decision checklist, and the competitor-review mining tactic for finding customer language.Timestamps:00:00 Meta Volatility and Common Mistakes08:56 Building a More Resilient Growth Strategy17:45 Should You Pause Underperforming Ads?21:53 How to Research Customers Better with AI35:40 AI, Creative Strategy & Content VolumeSubscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupAdvertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertiseWork with Pilothouse - https://www.pilothouse.co/?utm_source=AKNF635Follow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletterWatch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video

In this episode, Dr. Brett Beckman answers common questions from veterinary professionals about root fractures, periapical lucencies, vital pulp therapy, root canal treatment, and selecting the right dental burs for efficient surgical extractions. Using real clinical examples and radiographic interpretation, Dr. Beckman explains how to distinguish fractures that can safely remain from those that require extraction or endodontic treatment.

Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today, I'm joined by Skye Waterson for our Research Recap series. In this series, we look at a single research paper—or, in today's case, multiple papers—and dive into what they say, how they were conducted, and try to find practical takeaways. The first paper we're discussing is called "The MTA at Eight Years: Prospective Follow-Up of Children Treated for Combined-Type ADHD in a Multisite Study." This is about the MTA, the Multitreatment Study of Children with ADHD, which was the largest, most expensive, and most influential study conducted on ADHD treatment, originally published in 1999. It had a huge impact on how we view ADHD, especially in highlighting the shift toward thinking of ADHD as a chronic condition that requires sustained management rather than just something you "cure." Let's dive in and talk about what's going on in this eight-year follow-up study.
