There's a quiet but powerful movement afoot in the knitting community. It started at Needle & Skein, a full-service yarn store in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota. Wanting to do something to protest the presence of ICE in his state, Paul Neary decided to look back in time for inspiration, and he found it in 1940s Norway. As Neary explains in his "Melt The Ice Hat" pattern,"In the 1940s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against the Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make or distribute. As purveyors of traditional craft, we felt it appropriate to revisit this design."Paul Neary, "Melt the Ice Hat," available on Ravelry and through Needle & Skein (needleandskein.com)"We felt it appropriate to revisit this design." We love the understatement. All proceeds from the sale of the pattern ($5) go to Minnesota Immigration Aid organizations. Over $650,000 has been raised, and the pattern has been sold in 43 countries. The movement might have started in a quiet corner of a Minnesota yarn store, but it's big now, and it's growing. This is what happens when you have a lot of people ready to take a stand and put their pointed sticks to work.In fact, the red cap's association with liberty has a much longer history, going back to Ancient Greece where former Phrygian slaves wore red pointed caps to signify their emancipation. Romans picked up the association and bestowed red caps on freed slaves as part of their manumission ceremony. In the American Revolution, Paul Revere carved a liberty cap on a stone obelisk in the Boston Common, and local towns often placed a red liberty cap on a pole or tree to signify their allegiance to the resistance. The tradition was continued during the French Revolution with Lady Liberty sporting a red cap and her followers donning the famous "bonnet rouge." Early draft designs of the Statue of Liberty even showed her with a red cap instead of a crown. Perhaps most surprising is the Seal of the U.S. Senate--take a close look, and oh, what's that you see? Could it be a little red liberty cap at the top? The irony.So we are buying red yarn and knitting "Melt the Ice" hats these days. We want to be part of the red liberty cap history, because, well, it's our history. Join us.

What do you do when your capacity drops, but life and work still need your attention? In this episode, I'm talking about how to stay in relationship with what matters to you during low energy seasons without pushing yourself or disappearing altogether. If you've ever judged yourself for not operating at full speed, this conversation will give you a different way to think about effort, consistency, and self-leadership.       I introduce two concepts I use to navigate lower capacity days and seasons: operational minimums and needle movers. This episode invites you to lead yourself well when conditions are not ideal. It's about resisting the extremes of pushing through or switching off, and instead finding a steady middle ground that supports long-term momentum and self-trust. If you want a way to honour your capacity while still showing up for your life, this framework will help you do exactly that.       Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/266       Join us in the Powerful membership: https://maisiehill.com/powerful

Send us a textMost leaders think payroll is a simple math problem. This conversation breaks down why it is more complex—and why the way you classify, pay, and structure your team directly impacts profitability, valuation, retention, and culture. From the real differences between W-2 employees and 1099 contractors to exempt vs. non-exempt rules, the episode clarifies what “Uncle Sam gets paid either way” actually means and why a contractor-heavy model can limit the value of a business.You will learn how to evaluate compensation beyond salary by valuing time, calculating employee pay-to-time ratios, and tracking Total People Expense as a core operating percentage. The discussion covers productivity pay, incentive alignment, and the “business algorithm” leaders can use to connect employee risk, margin, and ownership-based motivation—plus how to build crucial benchmarks and review timelines so every employee has a roadmap.The episode shifts from spreadsheets to leadership: how to see more than numbers, offer options without losing accountability (including overtime and hybrid hourly structures), define work-life balance clearly, and improve employer branding so your marketing attracts the right workers. It closes with practical context around global wage equivalency and market salary stats to ground decisions in reality.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Proof of Life in an AI Age Clay Travis and Buck Sexton begin by highlighting President Donald Trump’s remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast, where he addressed faith in public life, new Department of Education guidance reaffirming the right to prayer in public schools, and ongoing federal responses to unrest and crime in major U.S. cities, including Minneapolis. They preview Trump’s wide‑ranging interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas, which becomes a central theme throughout the hour. A major portion of Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show is devoted to the alarming and emotional kidnapping case involving the mother of NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie. The hosts play audio from Guthrie’s public plea and analyze the unusual nature of a modern‑day ransom kidnapping in the United States. Clay and Buck discuss why the crime appears targeted rather than random, speculate on possible inside knowledge of the victim’s home and routines, and explore why this type of crime is now rare in America compared to other parts of the world. They also examine how advances in surveillance, DNA evidence, and digital tracking make successful ransom kidnappings increasingly difficult. Throughout the segment, they note that President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel have committed significant federal resources to the case, underscoring its national visibility and seriousness. Kamala Woofs? A lively and humorous debate about the future of the Democratic Party, centered on Vice President Kamala Harris and the 2028 presidential race. Clay Travis sharply mocks what he characterizes as Kamala Harris’s inauthentic political style, using her recent “Kamala HQ” announcement as an example, and compares it to a famously absurd storyline from The Office. This sparks a prolonged back‑and‑forth between Clay and Buck over whether Harris will run for president again—and whether she could realistically become the Democratic nominee. Clay argues that Harris is likely to run and could benefit from changes to the Democratic primary calendar that elevate Southern states with large Black Democratic electorates, while Buck strongly disagrees, insisting that her past electoral failures and poor performance in swing states make her nomination politically disastrous. The conversation broadens into a larger analysis of Democratic strategy, race, primary politics, and voter turnout. Clay suggests Democrats may once again make a risky strategic decision based on identity politics and narrow electoral margins, while Buck counters that party elites will ultimately coalesce around a different candidate, particularly California Governor Gavin Newsom. Throughout the hour, the hosts reference betting odds, past primary performances, and voter behavior to argue their competing cases, turning their disagreement into an ongoing bet that becomes a recurring and entertaining thread. Clay's Needle and Poop Walk Clay delivers an extended firsthand account of his morning walk through downtown San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl weekend. Broadcasting from the iHeartRadio studios in the city, he describes being advised not to walk for safety reasons and then encountering widespread homelessness, drug use, abandoned needles, and human feces along a short route in the city’s core. Clay uses the experience to argue that urban decay, public drug use, and lack of sanitation are policy failures, contending that visible filth and disorder directly correlate with higher crime rates and declining quality of life in major American cities like San Francisco and Washington, D.C. A central segment of Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features a detailed live update from Daily Wire reporter Lynden Blake, who monitored the full Arizona press conference on the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. Blake confirms that a single ransom note was sent to multiple outlets, demanding millions of dollars in Bitcoin, with an initial deadline the same day and a secondary deadline the following Monday accompanied by explicit threats. She explains why authorities believe the notes are credible, citing accurate descriptions of the crime scene, and discusses lingering questions about security cameras, possible inside knowledge of the home, and inconsistencies regarding forced entry. The hosts also explore the family’s request for proof of life and the challenges posed by AI‑generated imagery, underscoring how modern technology complicates hostage negotiations. Sen. Dave McCormick A substantive interview with Senator Dave McCormick, who addresses major national and state policy concerns. McCormick discusses the growing national debt, massive federal deficits, and what he views as Washington’s unwillingness to enact even modest spending reforms. He criticizes resistance to work requirements for able‑bodied Medicaid recipients and warns that without structural changes, entitlement programs will collapse under their own weight. McCormick also speaks at length about bipartisan cooperation in Pennsylvania, highlighting his working relationship with Democratic Senator John Fetterman, their shared stance on issues like fentanyl, energy production, Israel, and government shutdowns, and his willingness to publicly defend Fetterman when he was attacked by his own party. Election integrity and voting laws are another focal point, as McCormick strongly advocates for the SAVE Act and nationwide voter ID requirements. He argues that requiring proof of citizenship is a basic safeguard supported by overwhelming majorities of both Republicans and Democrats and says lawmakers must publicly justify opposition to voter ID to restore trust in U.S. elections. The conversation then shifts to the economy, where McCormick credits President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, deregulation, and energy policies with fueling major investment in Pennsylvania, including tens of billions of dollars committed to energy infrastructure and data centers. He frames U.S. energy dominance and AI development as critical components of global competition, particularly with China.

Jim and Mike Quigley break down Boston's surprise trade sending Simons to Chicago for Nikola Vučević — what it means for this season, the defense, the rotation, and the Celtics' long-term financial flexibility. They get into: • Why the move is more about the cap than the court • What the Celtics gain (and lose) with Vučević • How the center rotation might shake out • The growing need for another ball handler • What this signals about Jason Tatum's potential return • And why this trade doesn't dramatically change Boston's ceiling — for better or worse Plus: rapid reactions to league-wide trade deadline moves, including a fiery debate on James Harden landing in Cleveland. A big move, big questions, and classic Hard Foul honesty. ☘️

It is a funny film, classed as a comedy even, but underneath it's quite dark.  Wings Of Desire analysis [24:26] Line Langebek says WimWenders had a huge impact on her; Paris, Texas, she really likes, but Wings Of Desire was one of the first times she encountered something poetic with cinema.  Hana-Bi Influence   [30:39] Line Langebek says Hana-Bi she discovered a contrast between beauty and violence.

It's Midweek Chat time. This week we started out with the planned topics and were doing well until the subject of “Land of the Free” by Kathy Rees came up. That led to her new Shining Needle Society class, then we remembered Color Waves, and then it was all over. We simply went to needledelights.com and gushed and remembered all of the great designs. The spending of money will happen in the next few days. Our apologies to the folks who listen to the show on podcast apps. We also cooked up a live show to kick off National Embroidery Month.

In this episode of Moving the Needle, Andreas Kolb opens up about the hardest season of his career — racing under pressure, dealing with uncertainty behind the scenes, and staying mentally strong when his future felt unclear. We unpack how riding for himself, trusting the process, and delivering when it mattered ultimately led to a dream opportunity with the Santa Cruz Syndicate for 2026. A raw conversation about belief, timing, and why tough seasons often set up the biggest breakthroughs.

If your business growth feels slow, you're not alone. Many business owners reach a season where they're showing up consistently, putting in the effort, and doing all the “right” things — yet momentum feels frustratingly stagnant. When this happens, the instinct is usually to do more. More content. More offers. More platforms. But growth rarely comes from adding more. It comes from focusing on the right things.Here's what actually moves the needle when business growth feels slow — and where your energy is best spent.Hosted by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kelly Zugay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠With Grace and Gold®⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Brand It, Build It Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a chart-topping small business marketing podcast, equips you to build and grow your creative small business with purpose and strategy.Podcast Show Notes: https://withgraceandgold.com/category/podcast/With Grace and Gold on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withgraceandgoldFree Resources from With Grace and Gold: https://www.withgraceandgold.com/freeHonored as Showit Designer of the Year, With Grace and Gold® has proudly served thousands of small businesses and creative founders worldwide through award-winning, elevated, purpose-driven brand and ⁠⁠⁠Showit web design⁠⁠⁠ since 2014.

“I didn't want to get high anymore, but I couldn't stop.” That line sits at the center of Logan's story—a small-town athlete whose life flips after a bar fight, a traumatic brain injury, and 18 months on prescribed opiates. When the scripts end, withdrawal hits like a freight train. A friend hands him a pill. Forty-five minutes later, addiction has a name.To watch this whole episode in studio, click here: https://youtu.be/QEkM97g9Fy8From there, we follow the brutal logic of the street. Open-air drug markets. “Scramble” bags cut with fentanyl, benzos, and quinine. The first IV hit. Speedballs in gas station bathrooms. A blackout and a hospital bed, hands cuffed to a gurney. Robberies at gunpoint. Narcan save after Narcan save—and one young man he couldn't bring back. Then the darkest chapter: sexual assault used as “discipline” by people who held his debt. Hope narrows to a single point. He tries to die by proximity, chasing the batch that killed others. Winter arrives. He's too cold to get high.What changes everything isn't a slogan. It's a stranger who lets him borrow a phone, a mother who will cross bridges and neighborhoods to pull him out, and a caseworker who says, “Be at the door by 8 a.m.” He chooses a detox that hurts enough to remember and builds a recovery that actually fits: daily meetings, step work, and a gym where effort turns back into dignity. He grieves the overdose of his best friend and stays clean. He learns that strength includes crying, apologizing, and teaching his son to name feelings before they turn to rage.Now, Logan runs operations at Fit To Recover in Salt Lake City, a nonprofit built on four pillars—fitness, creative arts, nutrition, and service—that helps people in recovery and those unsheltered feel safe and seen. We talk harm reduction, why fentanyl is everywhere, how meth-induced psychosis rewires reality, and what real boundaries look like for families: stop funding the disease, never stop loving the person.To learn more about the work Logan is doing with Fit To Recover, a Salt Lake City–based nonprofit helping people in recovery and those experiencing homelessness rebuild their lives through fitness, nutrition, creative arts, and service. The program focuses on dignity, accountability, and community as foundations for lasting recovery, visit: https://fit2recover.org/If you've ever wondered how a “good kid” ends up homeless with a needle, or how someone climbs back to family, purpose, and leadership, press play.

Debra Morrison invites us to reimagine our lives where money takes on new meaning and purpose. Founder of the We Can Do It Women Movement, Debra works with mature women (50+) who are ready to stop defining themselves by financial missteps and start moving—intentionally and courageously—toward what still matters most. Money, Debra reminds us, is part of the picture, but not the whole story. It sits alongside physical, mental, relational, and spiritual well-being. Hermission is to “reframe women's mindsets around wealth…be in relationship with our money as a tool…and uplevel women's confidence around money,” including managing risk.With compassion and clarity, Debra creates a space where women can “ imagine ways to flame the embers, to move on to the next thing”—aligning their financial lives with their values, purpose, and soul's calling.Connect with Debraemail: dlm@debralmorrison.comhttps://www.wecandoitwomen.com/Facebook Group: https://www.wecandoitwomen.com/groupLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/debralmorrison/https://www.instagram.com/debralmorrison/https://www.youtube.com/@DebraLMorrisonBook: My Husband Died, Now What?

Dan took a little trip out to Mare Island in Vallejo, California and got a tour of Redwood Empire's new Distillery and Whiskey bar and picked up something special. In this Tasting Talk episode, Dan and Dave focus on tasting notes and impressions of Haystack Needle Bourbon from Redwood Empire Whiskey. They break down the nose, palate, and finish, highlighting prominent oak influence, layered sweetness, spice, and the impact of well-aged bourbon and rye in the blend. The conversation stays centered on how the whiskey drinks, its overall balance, and what stands out most in the glass, offering listeners a straightforward, palate-driven discussion of this unique release.

In this solo episode of the Everyday Business Problems podcast, Dave Crysler dives into a theme that keeps resurfacing across leadership conversations, client work, and personal experience: focus and clarity. Dave explains why many organizations struggle not because of a lack of effort or intelligence, but because attention is scattered, priorities shift too often, and expectations are never fully clear. From lost customers and shiny new initiatives to AI distractions and leadership avoidance, this episode breaks down how a lack of focus quietly compounds problems, and how getting clear can reverse the trend faster than most leaders expect. What You'll Discover: Why focus and clarity fix more issues than new tools or hires. How distractions like AI initiatives pull teams away from core priorities. The difference between being effective and being efficient, and why it matters. Why avoiding hard conversations creates confusion and misalignment. How clarity enables consistency, and consistency makes accountability easier. Why accountability fails when expectations are vague or constantly shifting. How focus applies at both the organizational and individual level. A simple way to audit where your time and energy are really going. If your business feels busy but unfocused, or if progress feels harder than it should, this episode will help you step back, simplify, and refocus on what actually moves the needle.
