Shawna didn't follow a typical path to becoming one of the most in-demand live entertainers in sports. In the last few years alone, she has been one of four DJs in the NBA Bubble, has opened for Lizzo and Shaq, was the official DJ of the Ryder Cup, and much more. It wasn't long ago that the now 40-year-old was cold-calling bars and clubs in Milwaukee, “begging” to spin on a random weeknight. In fact, Shawna didn't even get into DJing until she had to stop playing basketball (she played for UW-Madison and professionally overseas). So, how did all of this happen? Listen to this week's episode to find out and get inspired by one of our most beloved Milwaukeeans, DJ Shawna.Sponsored by Central Standard Distillery: https://thecentralstandard.com/ Produced by Story Mark Studios: https://storymarkstudios.io/ Media partner – OnMilwaukee: https://onmilwaukee.com/

The statement reads: "Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named. Carlson's show was frequently the top-rated show on cable news, often surpassing 4.5 million viewers per episode. The show premiered in November 2016, and took over the coveted 8 pm EST time slot in 2017. The decision to part ways with Carlson comes less than a week after the broadcaster and Dominion Voting Systems reached a $787 million settlement. Carlson's show was not a main focus of Dominion's lawsuit. Carlson's departure comes weeks after a former booker at the show, Abby Grossberg, sued Fox, citing "vile sexist stereotypes" working for Carlson. NBC reports that "Grossberg was fired in March after she filed a lawsuit claiming that Fox lawyers coerced her into giving misleading testimony in the Dominion case and that she was being made a scapegoat for the network’s 2020 election coverage. Fox says she was fired for divulging privileged information." Grossberg's lawyer has since said that his client has a "uniquely strong" case against Fox News. Several former Fox News hosts reacted to the news of Carlson leaving the network, including Megyn Kelly, who said "Good for Tucker. Trust me, he doesn't need them." Dan Bongino, who also split ways with the network last week, simply tweeted "WTF!" in response. The media shakeup continued… https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-don-lemon-terminated-by-cnn?utm_campaign=64487 Don Lemon TERMINATED by CNN On Monday, Don Lemon revealed to his Twitter followers that he has been terminated by CNN. "I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN," Lemon’s statement began. "I am stunned. After 17 years at CNN I would have thought that someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly." In response to Lemon’s statement, CNN said, "Don Lemon’s statement about this morning’s events is inaccurate. He was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter." Most recently, Lemon was in hot water over comments made about Nikki Haley, being forced to undergo formal training and absent from CNN This Morning for several days. In Late February, Lemon said of presidential candidate Nikki Haley saying politicians over the age of 75 should undergo mental competency tests - saying she Nikki Haley wasn’t in her prime. Lemon went on to say women were in their prime "in their 20s and 30s and maybe 40s." The next week though, Lemon didn’t return to the program until Wednesday, undergoing "formal training" as to why his comments were wrong. During this time, female CNN staffers threatened to quit if Lemon was allowed back. During Lemon’s absence from the morning show, CNN This Morning’s ratings went up by five percent. In September, Lemon was removed from his long-held primetime slot to the morning show. https://thepostmillennial.com/nbcuniversal-ceo-ousted-after-having-inappropriate-relationship-with-coworker?utm_campaign=64487 NBCUniversal CEO ousted after having 'inappropriate relationship' with coworker The CEO of NBCUniversal Jeff Shell has been ousted from the company after an investigation revealed that he was having an 'inappropriate relationship' with a female employee at the company. Shell, who made $21.6 million per year, risked his high earnings by going against company policy and admitting to executives that he was having an "inappropriate relationship" with another woman at the company. NBCUniversal made the announcement that Shell had been terminated in an email sent to employees on Sunday, according to CNBC. The findings were revealed when an outside company was hired to investigate a complaint against Shell. Shell is currently married to Laura Fay Shell, who previously worked for the City of Los Angeles, Daily Mail reports. "Today is my last day as CEO of NBCUniversal. I had an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the company, which I deeply regret," Shell said in a statement. "I'm truly sorry I let my Comcast and NBCUniversal colleagues down, they are the most talented people in the business and the opportunity to work with them the last 19 years has been a privilege." In 2020, the vice president of NBCUniversal, Ron Meyer, was ousted from the company after improperly disclosing that he was ordered to pay a settlement to a woman he reportedly had a "consensual affair" with. Shell is the second executive to be ousted in recent years. Lots of ousting lately… Now this… https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2023/04/23/canada-could-supply-us-with-abortion-pills-if-courts-ban-it-n2622298 Canada Suggests It Would Provide Women With the Abortion Pill If the U.S. Bans It The Canadian government said it "would work to provide" Americans access to the abortion pill, mifepristone, if the controversial drug gets banned in the U.S. Families Minister Karina Gould said it concerns her that U.S. laws are looking to "criminalize" women seeking access to reproductive healthcare. On Friday, the Supreme Court paused a federal judge's order to restrict access to mifepristone after the 5th Circuit Court overlooked a case to take the dangerous drug off the market after Texas Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled that it should not be allowed arguing that the FDA expedited the process to "green light elective chemical abortions on a wide scale." Last year before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Gould said that Americans would be able to get an abortion in Canada, which is typically less regulated than it is in the U.S. and available at later stages of pregnancy. https://www.dailywire.com/news/newsom-directs-national-guard-to-combat-san-franciscos-fentanyl-crisis Newsom Directs National Guard To Combat San Francisco’s Fentanyl Crisis Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) directed the state National Guard and California Highway Patrol to help in the fight against fentanyl trafficking in San Francisco. As part of a new partnership, the agencies are tasked with identifying personnel and resources to assist San Francisco following a 41% spike in fentanyl overdose deaths in the first few months of this year. “We are providing more law enforcement resources and personnel to crack down on crime linked to the fentanyl crisis, holding the poison peddlers accountable, and increasing law enforcement presence to improve public safety and public confidence in San Francisco,” Newsom said in a statement on Friday. Newsom’s office said the collaboration, which also includes the San Francisco Police Department and and the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, will be focused on drug suppliers and traffickers rather than seeking to criminalize those struggling with substance abuse in a city that has recorded several hundred accidental overdose deaths annually in recent years. The agreement will “lead to the formation of a new collaborative operation between all four agencies focused on dismantling fentanyl trafficking and disrupting the supply of the deadly drug in the city by holding the operators of large-scale drug trafficking operations accountable,” the governor’s office said. Newsom paid a visit on Wednesday to San Francisco, a city he once led as mayor, and surveyed the Tenderloin neighborhood, which has been hit hard by crime and the fentanyl crisis. The trip took place a couple weeks after San Francisco Mayor London Breed requested federal assistance to arrest and prosecute drug dealers while the city contends with a short-staffed police department, according to local ABC affiliate KGO. During Newsom’s visit to Tenderloin, activist JJ Smith pressed the governor on what he is doing to stop the fentanyl crisis, according to CBS News Bay Area. JJ Smith recalled Newsom saying he is working on the issue, a response which the activist felt was inadequate. Newsom, who is widely seen as a top future presidential contender for the Democrats, says he has already invested more than $1 billion to tackle the opioid and fentanyl crisis in California. His new budget request seeks another $96 million in funding to tackle the problem. Now for my favorite topic… sports! https://dailycaller.com/2023/04/23/phil-jackson-nba-bubble-social-justice/ Legendary Coach Criticizes NBA For Being Too Political Legendary coach Phil Jackson was trending on the Internet Saturday due to comments he made criticizing the NBA on the podcast “Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin.” During the April 5 podcast, the 11-time NBA champion said he stopped watching games during the 2020 NBA Bubble in Orlando because the league had become too political. The Orlando games were held during the COVID-19 pandemic and came on the heels of George Floyd’s death in police custody and subsequent protests in May. Legendary NBA coach Phil Jackson slams league for becoming too political-Play 0:12-0:32 Jackson referred to social justice slogans the NBA allowed players to wear on the backs of their uniforms in 2020. The slogans included “Black Lives Matter,” “Freedom,” “Justice,” “Enough,” and “Power to the People,” among others. Jackson said he didn’t see how these gestures made an impact and commented on how past athletes kept their political views to themselves. “Bill Bradley was a senator, a number of baseball players have been representatives and senators. . .But their politics stay out of the game. It doesn’t need to be there.” Jackson, 77, played in the NBA for twelve seasons and coached for 20. He retired from coaching in 2011.

The statement reads: "Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named. Carlson's show was frequently the top-rated show on cable news, often surpassing 4.5 million viewers per episode. The show premiered in November 2016, and took over the coveted 8 pm EST time slot in 2017. The decision to part ways with Carlson comes less than a week after the broadcaster and Dominion Voting Systems reached a $787 million settlement. Carlson's show was not a main focus of Dominion's lawsuit. Carlson's departure comes weeks after a former booker at the show, Abby Grossberg, sued Fox, citing "vile sexist stereotypes" working for Carlson. NBC reports that "Grossberg was fired in March after she filed a lawsuit claiming that Fox lawyers coerced her into giving misleading testimony in the Dominion case and that she was being made a scapegoat for the network’s 2020 election coverage. Fox says she was fired for divulging privileged information." Grossberg's lawyer has since said that his client has a "uniquely strong" case against Fox News. Several former Fox News hosts reacted to the news of Carlson leaving the network, including Megyn Kelly, who said "Good for Tucker. Trust me, he doesn't need them." Dan Bongino, who also split ways with the network last week, simply tweeted "WTF!" in response. The media shakeup continued… https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-don-lemon-terminated-by-cnn?utm_campaign=64487 Don Lemon TERMINATED by CNN On Monday, Don Lemon revealed to his Twitter followers that he has been terminated by CNN. "I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN," Lemon’s statement began. "I am stunned. After 17 years at CNN I would have thought that someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly." In response to Lemon’s statement, CNN said, "Don Lemon’s statement about this morning’s events is inaccurate. He was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter." Most recently, Lemon was in hot water over comments made about Nikki Haley, being forced to undergo formal training and absent from CNN This Morning for several days. In Late February, Lemon said of presidential candidate Nikki Haley saying politicians over the age of 75 should undergo mental competency tests - saying she Nikki Haley wasn’t in her prime. Lemon went on to say women were in their prime "in their 20s and 30s and maybe 40s." The next week though, Lemon didn’t return to the program until Wednesday, undergoing "formal training" as to why his comments were wrong. During this time, female CNN staffers threatened to quit if Lemon was allowed back. During Lemon’s absence from the morning show, CNN This Morning’s ratings went up by five percent. In September, Lemon was removed from his long-held primetime slot to the morning show. https://thepostmillennial.com/nbcuniversal-ceo-ousted-after-having-inappropriate-relationship-with-coworker?utm_campaign=64487 NBCUniversal CEO ousted after having 'inappropriate relationship' with coworker The CEO of NBCUniversal Jeff Shell has been ousted from the company after an investigation revealed that he was having an 'inappropriate relationship' with a female employee at the company. Shell, who made $21.6 million per year, risked his high earnings by going against company policy and admitting to executives that he was having an "inappropriate relationship" with another woman at the company.

From defensive masterminds to offensive wizards, the NBA is full of legendary coaches. But how often do we see these coaches put their body on the line? After a heated 1997 Eastern Conference Semifinals, the New York Knicks and Miami Heat met again in the first round of the 1998 NBA playoffs. In the last few seconds of Game 4, former teammates turned heated rivals Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning threw punches causing Knicks Head Coach Jeff Van Gundy to run across the court and cling to Mourning's leg. Dan Devine, National NBA Writer for Yahoo Sports, talks about this iconic coaching moment, navigating the world of sports writing, the (limited) best moments in Knicks history, and his favorite NBA interview.

Not many things bond you like the trauma of learning the ten-meter platform together, and that's exactly how Laura and this week's guest, Gretchen Sheirr, became friends. A former US national finalist in diving, Gretchen is President of Business Operations for the Houston Rockets, making her the fourth woman to lead the business operations of an NBA team. Gretchen kicks off the episode with her journey from a childhood dream of being a gymnast at LSU before losing motivation, to joining the diving team (about a week before Laura!), and finally getting to LSU on a diving scholarship. She and Laura also discuss how their friendships helped drive them to do better and the intense pressure now being put on high school athletes. And Gretchen talks about how being an athlete teaches you lessons that set you up for life, including accountability, coping with change, and how to respond to feedback constructively. Next, Gretchen discusses her decision to become a business major and how combining that with her passion for sports led her into the sports marketing industry and a job with the Rockets in the early 2000s. She talks about the changes the franchise was going through at that time and how that allowed her to make quick progress in her career while staying with the team. She also tackles what it takes to get into the sports industry and succeed, including a willingness to take risks, set goals, and make sacrifices. Laura then asks her to talk about what it feels like to be one of only a handful of women at the top of the NBA, and Gretchen admits there's a lot of pressure but also opportunities to raise others up, such as her work with Women in Sport and Events (WISE). The discussion then pivots to how the NBA and the Rockets dealt with the impact of COVID and the loss of live events by creating the NBA Bubble, plus Gretchen shares what she and the team are doing now to bring people back in. And finally, Gretchen shares how she maintains her work/life balance by knowing her glass balls from her rubber ones and gives some advice to upcoming athletes not to worry too much about getting internships and focus on their full-time job of college and competing. Episode Highlights: Gretchen's journey to competitive diving What being an athlete teaches you Succeeding in the sports industry Being a woman at the top of the NBA How the Rockets coped with COVID Quotes: “Some of our friends' kids are older, and they're really good athletes. And they're talking about this stuff at an age that I hadn't even started in the sport that I went to college on a scholarship for, that I was relatively decent at, at a time where parents these days are freaking out if their kids aren't even getting recruited.” “As an athlete, you hear that every single day, all day, every day, multiple times a day, that this wasn't good enough, that was bad, or this was good. So you learn how to take a compliment and recognize what you're doing well and make that even better. And you learn how to take negative feedback in a constructive way and correct yourself.” “You need to be prepared to take risks and to move if growing your career is the most important thing. Which I'm not saying that it is—everybody needs to live their own life and create their own path and not necessarily follow other people. And they're like, but you didn't leave. And I was like, I know, but I went into it knowing that I would likely have to at some point, it just didn't happen.” “In order to go to the next step, you have to sort of master what you're currently doing. And until you've mastered what you're currently doing, or at least shown that you have the commitment to master what you're currently doing, why would anyone want to talk to you about the next thing?” “Monday is high school orientation, that me, as an idiot, thought was Monday night. And today, I found out that it is not Monday night, it is at 8:30 on Monday morning. And so I had to cancel two meetings, and I had to reschedule them because I'm going to high school orientation with my kids. Like, that's a glass ball, not dropping it.” Pursuit of Gold Podcast is brought to you by Kaatsu Global Links: The Pursuit of Gold 1-on-1 Coaching with Laura The Confidence Journal Life at 10 Meters: Lessons from an Olympic Champion Laura's Social Media: Laura's Instagram Laura's Facebook Gretchen Sheirr: LinkedIn

Welcome in Slumpbusters! On this episode of the Slumpbuster Podcast, Ju-Ju & Kyle give you the latest up to date information in the world of the NFL & NBA. The Brooklyn Nets acquired James Haden in January of 2021 forming a new dominant Big Three in the NBA. However, the trio of Harden, Irving and Durant has only played 16 games together in that time. Durant will ensure that number stays the same as he will be sidelined for the next 4-6 weeks with a sprained MCL. Will the Nets be able to win a NBA Finals in 2022 despite the lack of chemistry building opportunity? #KevinDurant A report came out last week stating Frank Vogel's job is being evaluated on a game-by-game basis. Vogel was the coach of the Lakers when they won their 17th NBA Championship in the NBA Bubble season. Currently the Lakers are treading water in the Western Conference, barely above a .500 record as we approach the All-Star break. Can Vogel survive an upcoming six game road trip? #Lakers Mike Mayock signed on to be the Las Vegas Raiders General Manager just prior to the 2019 season. Mayock left a job as the NFL Network's leading draft analyst and tied his ship to Jon Gruden. With Gruden fired in October, all eyes were on Mayock as the Raiders looked to change. With a new head coach yet to be announced, Mark Davis made the decision to clean house and fire Mayock. Who will be the next GM of the Las Vegas Raiders following a surprise playoff run in 2021? #Raiders With the Super Bowl less than three weeks away, Kyle & Ju-Ju close out the show ranking possible Super Bowls. The guys give their Top-5 Super Bowl scenarios with the eight remaining teams and compare for your entertainment.  Recorded: Wednesday, January 19, 2022 Music: "Flama" by Lalo Production Beats Host: Julian "Ju-Ju" Martinez Ig & Twitter: @jujutalkssports Kyle Ledbetter Take It Easy Podcast Ig: @kyle.ledbetter619 | Twitter: @CSM_MemeInsta Social Media: Ig: @slumpbusterpodcast | Twitter: @slumpbusterpod Website: https://www.theslumpbuster.com/
