Keontay Gaines is the Assistant Director of Student Athlete Development at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV). Keontay and I met in Lawrence, KS, where we quickly bonded over a fascination of the people around us. After growing up in inner-city Baltimore, Keontay went on to play college football, build a family, and grab several degrees along the way. He is a great example of someone who did not have opportunity immediately spelled out for him, so he had to find ways to create it. From creating his own snack resale business to telling stories that inspire those around him, his timeline began to take off. In this conversation, we cover a bunch of topics, including: how Keontay discovered football and his biggest sports failure of his career, the most important book he read that ended up changing his life, what Keontay created (snack biz) to learn how to work with people as a kid, why being alone is super bad, and how to build yourself up by choosing the correct people to be in your inner environment. I was encouraged to lean further into self-belief, think less of waiting on opportunity but think more of creating it, put people around me who have a drive to love the people around them, and place a value on resilience. Episode Links: BOOKS MENTIONEDThe Little Red Book of Wisdom by Mark DeMoss: https://amzn.to/44Xn8F8The Art of Dealing with People by Les Giblin: https://amzn.to/42SgGNNRich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki: https://amzn.to/3M87BtoLetters from a Stoic by Seneca: https://amzn.to/3O9UJ8JThe Overthinking Cure by Nick Trenton: https://amzn.to/42HBCYkCrazy Faith by Michael Todd: https://amzn.to/3BpVGlLOutliers by Malcom Gladwell: https://amzn.to/3BpPQknThe Way of the Seal by Mark Divine and Allyson Edelhertz Machate: https://amzn.to/3O8QbiUYou Can You Will by Joel Osteen: https://amzn.to/450speTInstagram: taygaines007TikTok: taygaines007An easy way to send me a message?

Hang onto your seats.    This is a heavy interview as Pastor Richard Hill goes deep into prophecy.    But remember, we do NOT live in fear.   God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind! 2 Timothy 1:7.Richard Hill was the associate pastor of a messianic Jewish congregation in Los Angeles when he was invited, in May, 2000, to join the CJF Ministries' missionary staff as its southwest ministry representative in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was further confirmation to Richard that God’s ministerial calling for him was to reach out to His Chosen People. Richard has trained and taught many volunteers how to witness effectively to the Jewish people. He leads a campus ministry at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) passing out tracts and sharing the Gospel of Jesus to all who are interested. Richard also leads a door-to-door ministry in predominantly Jewish communities. In September, 2003, Richard planted and continues to pastor Beth Yeshua (House of Jesus), a messianic congregation on the southwest side of Las Vegas, which serves as an outreach into the Jewish community. Another aspect of his ministry is teaching the Jewish roots of Christianity in churches and imparting his love for “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” to his Gentile brethren. Richard is married to Oanh, who also has a burden to share the love of Messiah with the Jewish people. They have three children: Stephanie, Rebekah, and Isaak. Richard has received an M.A. in Religion and a Ph.D. in Theology. He is an astute teacher and communicator of God’s Word.Enjoy music from Jonathan Settel, Marty Goetz, Miqedem (featuring Shai Sol), Paul Wilbur (featuring Beckah Shae), and more!

In this episode of Science & Chill, I talk with Dr. Karyn Esser, the associate program director at the Institute of Myology at the University of Florida.  Dr. Esser is an expert in the area of biological rhythms, also known as circadian rhythms. In particular, her group focuses on how circadian rhythms function in skeletal muscle and respond to things like exercise, feeding, and light.  In this episode, we talk about why humans (and plants and animals) have circadian rhythms in the first place, the importance of sleep and exercise for maintaining circadian rhythms, and much more. Dr. Esser also answers some bonus questions at the end!  I hope you enjoy this episode. If you do, please leave a 5-star rating, share it with friends and family, or write a review!

She didn't always “want” to be a scientist -- instead starting as a math major and was interested in band and athletics (she wanted to be a conductor at a young age).  Her 7th grade laboratory class taught her a lot about the fundamentals of science  She started as a chemistry major at Wake Forest, and in one class was able to take a trip to the Galapagos Islands.

Alyssa Crittenden, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and Adjunct Associate Professor in the School of Medicine, delivers a thorough overview of anthropology and diet.   Crittenden has spent many years deeply researching the evolution of human behavior, specifically as it pertains to nutrition and reproduction. With a keen interest in the many questions that circulate regarding what makes our human species so incredibly unique, Crittenden's research taps into the direct links between diet composition, growth/development, as well as the formation of families and child rearing.    Crittenden discusses her opinions on diet and nutrition. As a nutritional anthropologist, she is particularly interested in historical diets as they relate to what we know today. She delves into a discussion on the paleo diet. The paleo diet, short for Paleolithic diet, sometimes referred to as the caveman diet or stone-age diet is a complete diet that requires an individual to restrict their diet to foods thought to have been readily available to humans throughout the Paleolithic era. Crittenden explains the benefits of various diets and substitutes people can make to stay true to their particular diet. As she states, while the paleo diet is popular, many clinical nutritionists don't advocate it. From an anthropological perspective, she explains that the enlargement of human brains was related to higher quality food sources.    The Ph.D. discusses how many diets exist in our society, but most of the world does not have the same dietary options or access. She delves into some of the questions we ponder in relation to our food sources and diet and relates how our microbiome is directly impacted by not only foods we eat but also our environment. She talks about worms and insects and how many people in the world commonly eat them, though most Americans are quite averse to the idea. She explains how the harvesting of insects is more sustainable, as large animals require significant amounts of land for grazing. She details some of the statistics that relate to food growth and crop productivity. Incorporating insects into the diet, Crittenden states is perhaps one of the best ways that we can enhance our food supply, with a lower impact.   The professor discusses how access to adequate nutrition is still a privilege but not a right. Many people in the world are malnourished, unfortunately, and obesity adds another element that contributes negatively to global health.    Crittenden has worked extensively with the Hadza of Tanzania, East Africa — one of the world's few remaining hunting and gathering populations. Crittenden's work has been published often in academic journals and highlighted in notable media sources such as The New York Times, Smithsonian, National Geographic, Psychology Today, and many others.

Dr. Anita Tijerina Revilla is an Associate Professor and Director of Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV). Anita, AKA Mujer Fiera, is a much loved presence in the national joteria academic world, and in this episode, she schools us on the fluidity of Latinx queerness, passing heteros, and the way she brings these ideas into the classroom. Babelito, Favy and Anita also discuss the politics behind the commercialization of Frida Kahlo's image and the importance and privilege of choosing to question your sexuality at least once in your lifetime. The radicalization of activism starts many times in the classroom and Anita's commitment to her students and to the activist Latinx communities gives us hope for the future.
