Send us Fan MailMatthew Munson, Managing Director NSW at Talent Group, came to recruitment the long way round. A campervan trip around Australia turned into a decision to stay, and a phone call about a job in tech recruitment changed everything.He landed in 2006 with no idea what a .NET developer was. First six months, he hated it. The language was foreign, the role was a step back from where he'd been, and his ego took a hit. After six months, something clicked. Two years later he was team lead while billing at the top of his office.What followed was twenty years of building desks, running multi-office teams across Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong, leading RPO accounts at the exec level for brands like Yahoo 7 and eBay, and eventually becoming MD of NSW at Talent — a business he's been growing for nearly a decade.In this episode Matthew talks through what actually goes wrong on an underperforming desk, why he's fired high billers, and why moving into management too fast is one of the most common mistakes he sees. He also gets into what it takes to build a personal brand that actually works, why AI-generated content is already valueless, and what being proud to call yourself a recruiter has to do with how long you last in this industry.One of the most honest career conversations we've had on the show.Support the show· Our Website is: xrecruiter.io

C-Lo back with more of the Yankees beating the Cubs & the Mets doing what they do. Austin Wells talked about his tribute to Thurman Munson as it was the 47th anniversary of his death. We listened to the Joe Buck radio call of Mookie/Buckner and he sounded annoyed that the Mets won to force a game seven.

For the seventh month of 1996, we witnessed the rise and fall…and rise…and fall of wunderkind Roy Munson (Woody Harrelson), a bowling marvel who loses his good hand after grifting some yokels in a backwater. As a deadbeat salesman years later, he discovers another killer kegler - Ishmael Boorg (Randy Quaid). Munson thinks he can relive his glory days through Boorg, but unfortunately, he's Amish! Munson must smuggle him around the country and hope to reach the apex once more, with only his old rival Ernie McCracken (Bill Murray). It'll come down to only one man to be…Kingpin!

The Munsons are once again joined by guest Munson, Lauren Hopkins Price, to discuss Blake Lively and enjoy James' bonus content while everyone waits for the arrival of little Giovanni Ribisi Jr. We also get wildly creative attempting to solve James' latest Two Truths and a Lie: Fast & Furious Edition, with results that are about as successful as you'd expect. From there, we trace Lively's path to stardom, beginning with her upbringing in a family deeply embedded in the Los Angeles entertainment industry. In an effort to fully appreciate one of her signature roles, the Munsons give Gossip Girl the old college try... and eventually admit defeat as we collectively realize we are nowhere near the target audience. Thankfully, films like The Town remind us why Lively became such a compelling screen presence. We gush over the performances of both Blake Lively and Rebecca Hall and wonder why Hollywood didn't give us more of this version of Blake. We also discuss her controversial antebellum-style wedding to Ryan Reynolds and how public perception has shifted over the years. In true Munsons fashion, Aubrey gets an opportunity to break down a shark movie with The Shallows, while the rest of the crew debates whether Lively's deliciously manipulative turn in A Simple Favor proves she'd be an outstanding Fast & Furious villain, following the path carved by Charlize Theron. We also examine why The Rhythm Section failed to break through in the same way that female-led action films like Atomic Blonde and Red Sparrow managed to capture audiences. And then there's the elephant in the room: the It Ends With Us controversy. Where do we land on the Munson Meter with the performances, the headlines, and the broader conversation surrounding Blake Lively's place in Hollywood? You'll have to listen to find out.

Most ambitious men are accidentally building a "Job-Trap," a life that looks successful on paper but is structurally broken. Today, we perform a clinical audit on legacy with the man who built an indestructible brand: Dave Munson of Saddleback Leather. Dave transitioned from a barefoot youth pastor in Mexico to the CEO of a global empire with a 100-year warranty. In this diagnostic deep-dive, we identify the "Atomic Tasks" stealing your time and the systemic failures that keep most men from true "Internal Sovereignty." From living in safari tents for a decade to surviving a million-dollar theft involving the FBI, Dave reveals the specific roadmap for building a life with no breakable parts.   CHAPTERS:  00:00 - The "No-Breakable-Parts" Life  03:00 - Why I moved my family into safari tents for 10 years  10:05 - Youth Ministry to CEO: When the business became the ministry  15:21 - The sketch that built a 100-year legacy  18:52 - Marriage Systems: Why we switched to a smaller bed  25:31 - The FBI, stolen millions, and the "Job-Trap"  27:42 - The only 2 questions you need to ask your team [High-Leverage]  41:53 - "Success starts at home": Zig Ziglar's final lesson  47:53 - The legacy audit: What will they fight over when you're dead?   Munson's Links: Website: https://saddlebackleather.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidcmunson/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidcmunson  

The Munsons welcome back our favorite bald guest Munson, Chip Hessenflow, to dive into the strange, fascinating, and deeply anxious world of Giovanni Ribisi. From the jump, we're captivated by Ribisi's obsession with cinematography, vintage cameras, and filmmaking technology—so much so that he literally loans equipment out to legendary directors like Paul Thomas Anderson. Naturally, this leads us into discussing one of the more unusual distinctions in Munson's history: Giovanni becomes the first practicing Scientologist we've covered in 136 episodes. We spend a shocking amount of time talking about Boiler Room (seriously, keep count at home), while James takes a passionate detour into why the Avatar franchise actually rules and continues to hold up better than people want to admit. Along the way, we explore how Ribisi essentially cornered the market in Hollywood on playing “the weird guy,” weaponizing his nervous, twitchy, anxious energy into one of the most unique character actor careers of his era. We revisit his endless string of early television appearances, uncover just how many massive Friends fans are apparently on this podcast, and celebrate his memorable run on the series. The deeper we go, the more impressed we become by the absolutely loaded list of directors and co-stars Ribisi worked with throughout the late 90s and early 2000s—a résumé that quietly stacks up against almost anyone from that generation. How does he rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.

Munson Creek by Wild Montana

Seattle sports fans likely know Simply Seattle as the go-to spot for shirts, jerseys, hats and some of the city's most iconic apparel. But owner Jamie Munson's story is also one of entrepreneurship, brand building and betting on Seattle's sports culture. Jon and Jamie talk about Jamie's path from general manager to owner of Simply Seattle; the growth of the business since purchasing it in 2015; the impact of the Mariners and Seahawks post-season runs; the lasting passion for the Sonics and what renewed NBA expansion buzz means for Seattle; and Jamie's newest venture, Out West Trading Company, with locations across the Northwest and another opening soon in Suncadia. Join us for Seattle City Makers with Jon Scholes and guest Jamie Munson.

The Munsons are joined once again by returning guest Munson Cori Wallace to break down the fascinating and unpredictable career of Leslie Bibb. We kick things off with her unlikely origin story—winning a modeling competition through Oprah, leaving UVA after just one semester, and diving headfirst into entertainment. Cori even takes us back to watching that moment in real time, along with Bibb's early work on Ryan Murphy's Popular, setting the stage for a career that never quite followed a straight line. From there, we dig into a box office snapshot that starts surprisingly strong… and then falls off a cliff. With entries like See Spot Run, Movie 43, and Midnight Meat Train, it's not hard to see why. We revisit her brief role in Private Parts and wonder if it foreshadowed the types of characters she'd take on, before diving into The Skulls and how that role may have shaped her trajectory—complete with some very real fraternity and sorority parallels from Kyle, James, and Cori. Despite all of this, we're genuinely surprised she's never been fully typecast, given her early TV success and run of questionable film choices. We also debate why she never leaned back into comedy after Talladega Nights (Ricky Bobby deserves answers), and whether her success there was her own comedic timing or just the strength of the script. Along the way, we unpack her unconventional relationship with Sam Rockwell (a former Munson and Case favorite), question the tonal whiplash between her roles in To the Bone and Tag, and even detour into an Aubrey vs. James debate on whether The White Lotus is actually good. Do we have a new lowest scoring actor on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.

On August 2, 1979, Thurman Munson — the gritty captain of the New York Yankees whose defensive brilliance and stubborn leadership defined a Bronx dynasty — died in a small plane crash at the age of 32. A competitor of rare intensity and blue-collar dignity, Munson built a legacy defined not by polish but by substance, turning a catcher's grueling labor into the heartbeat of a championship culture. With his rocket arm and a bat that thrived under the high-stakes pressure of October, Munson anchored a clubhouse of outsized egos with a presence that felt both fiercely protective and undeniably essential.

As we step into Holy Week and prepare our hearts for Easter, I found myself thinking, this one I needed to hear again—and I hope it might touch your heart in the same way. With that thought in mind, I'm re-airing the bonus Holy Week & Easter episode from last year of Open Our Bibles Together, where I had the joy of sitting down for a conversation with Tammy Munson from Christian Podcasting Secrets. In this one, we took a meaningful walk through the events of Holy Week as if we were actually there: the cheers of Palm Sunday, the solemn weight of the Last Supper, the heartbreak of the cross, and the shock and joy of the empty tomb. Along the way, we connected these moments to Old Testament prophecies, key Scriptures, and even explored how visual portrayals—like The Chosen—bring the story of Easter to life in a fresh and powerful way. And, of course… because it's Tammy and me, there was laughter too! We closed with a few lighthearted Easter questions, reminding us that even in the heaviness of Holy Week, there is hope, joy, and reason to celebrate. As a side note: the show notes have also been updated with links for watching The Chosen Seasons 4 and 5, as well as all the previously included resources to help you dive deeper as you walk through Holy Week. If you're looking for a way to slow down, reflect, and really prepare your heart for Easter, this re-air is an invitation to step into the story and let it come alive for you once again this year.

Where has unstructured play gone ... what has its absence done to creativity and problem solving

Kevin Umaña (b. 1989, Los Angeles, CA) is an artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Spending his early years between Los Angeles and El Salvador, Umaña's personal history has profoundly shaped his visual language. In El Salvador, he was immersed in a rural environment rich with natural textures, vibrant flora, and traditional crafts. While in Los Angeles, he confronted the intensity of city life and the pressures of assimilation. This duality seeded the fragmented forms and layered symbolism that define his art today. His practice continues to carry echoes of Latin American patterns, nature's geometry, and American architectural influences, all reimagined through abstraction. Umaña received his B.F.A from San Francisco State University in 2014. In 2025, Umaña received the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award. He has completed residencies at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation (2024); Anderson Ranch (2024); Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program (2023-24); Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts, Helena, MT (2023); The Center for Book Arts, New York (2019). In 2017, Umaña created a permanent installation at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. Institutions owning his work include The United Nations Art Collection, New York; Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, NY; Munson, Utica, NY; Fidelity Mutual Funds Collection; Center for Book Arts Library, New York; and The Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, Novato, CA. In 2026, Umaña will be participating in the MacDowell Fellowship in New Hampshire. Kevin Umaña, Revisiting the Roman Walls, 2026.

Paige interviews Emily Munson, a preschool teacher in an early childhood classroom for children who are medically complex. Emily shares her journey of finding her way to her dream classroom. She tells how she includes children who are blind and low vision, and gives a sneak peek into her favorite lesson to teach. Jenny, Paige, and Cathy discuss the powerful impact of preschool. They reflect on the way that Emily seamlessly integrates strategies into the environment that help children thrive and ease parental anxiety. The group dives deep into the importance of observation as a foundational tool for both teachers and families. Jenny and Paige emphasize that learning to "watch and wait" is a vital skill for families before jumping into action. The conversation also covers the often-daunting transition from early intervention to preschool. Cathy breaks down the role of Child Find, a federal requirement that ensures children are evaluated for special education services, and how the process varies by state. Paige shares how early intervention programs support families through this eligibility process. Finally, the team discusses the importance of trusting your instincts when choosing a school and utilizing State Early Learning Guidelines to ensure children are getting the support they need. https://www.understood.org/en/articles/child-find-what-it-is-and-how-it-works  We love voicemail!

The Cockpit Confrontation: How Parliament Lost Their Best Advocate and Franklin's Legacy as a Founder of Science. Richard Munson discusses how Benjamin Franklin was a pivotal figure in the Revolutionary era, initially dedicated to maintaining the colonies' loyalty to the king. The critical turning point occurred in January 1774 at the Cockpit, where Parliament grilled and lambasted Franklin for over an hour without allowing him to answer. At this moment, Franklin realized the English government had lost its "best possible advocate," and he began thinking seriously about independence. Before the break with Britain, Franklin had laid a foundation for colonial unity by creating the American Philosophical Society. Franklin returned to Philadelphia in April 1775 and sailed to Paris in October 1776, where the French adored him. Franklin's legacy has been subject to various interpretations by historians, but Munson emphasizes that Franklin's enduring relevance lies in his role as a founder who championed empirical truths, observation, and experimentation, which is vital in modern times marked by the dismissal of science and facts.

The Conservation of Charge and the Practical Genius of the Lightning Rod. Richard Munson discusses how Benjamin Franklin was an endlessly busy experimenter who began his famous work by studying the Leiden jar, a rudimentary battery. Franklin conducted fundamental research and developed the law of the conservation of charge: the idea that positive and negative electrical charges always seek balance. On Christmas Day 1750, he exposed himself to danger by touching the terminals of two Leiden jars, which violently threw him across the room. In 1751, Franklin published his pamphlet, Experiments and Observations on Electricity Made in Philadelphia, America, which generated international fame before the kite experiment. Franklin sought a practical solution to the danger posed by lightning, and his experiment confirmed the connection between lightning and electricity, leading to the invention of the lightning rod, which became a great practical discovery saving lives and buildings. Franklin also invented the Franklin stove and refused a patent, viewing the invention as a public benefit. He pursued observation and experimentation with "joyfulness," viewing unexpected results as new possibilities.

Printing as High-Tech: Franklin's Wealth Creation and the Dawn of His Electrical Experiments. Richard Munson discusses how Benjamin Franklin arrived in Philadelphia at age 17 and, in just 22 years, transformed into an independently wealthy experimenter. Printing during this era was the "high-tech of the age," and Franklin's work involved scientific thinking. A powerful driving force was his ambition to be wealthy, maintaining a strong focus on the bottom line. Franklin leveraged quality to secure contracts and was a savvy real estate investor. Franklin became entangled in a bitter political fight with absentee landlord Thomas Penn, who viewed Pennsylvania solely as a source of money. Franklin's independent wealth, achieved when he sold his successful businesses around 1748, allowed him to pursue science. He immediately began experimenting with electricity, performing fundamental research and defining basic structures, introducing key terms like positive and negative, conductors and insulators. Franklin's rising fame as an experimenter eventually led his neighbors to call on him to represent Pennsylvania in London.
