A new cohort of our Business Building 101 course is starting this week! If you're launching a studio, rebuilding after a move, or just want to build a more intentional, financially sustainable business, this course is designed to help you do exactly that—with clarity, structure, and support. And today's guest is a perfect example of what can happen when you combine a fresh start with the right tools. Mimi Zhang is the 2024 grand prize winner of our Studio Launch Grant competition. As part of her prize package, Mimi received a $1,000 startup grant, gift cards to Alamo Music and Alfred Publishing, and enrollment in the Music Studio Startup Business Building 101 course, and more—all of which she put to great use as she launched her studio in a brand-new city. When Mimi won the grant competition, she had just finished grad school, moved across the country, and was starting from scratch. In less than a year, she grew her studio from just three in-person students to nearly 40, added group classes, implemented strong business systems, and started building the studio she really wanted. In our conversation, Mimi shares the strategies that helped her grow quickly and sustainably, the mindset shifts that made a big difference early on, and how she's continuing to evolve her studio now that the foundation is in place.

Walters' administration has been accused of dishonestly presenting improved school performance by lowering the standards for state testing. This deceptive tactic aimed to inflate academic scores by 33%, a move that was subsequently exposed as misleading. Despite the claims of progress, the actual performance metrics revealed that the state's education system is performing at its worst, ranking 49th in the nation, just above New Mexico and even below Alabama.The lack of transparency in these changes has had significant repercussions on public trust in educational assessments and government agencies. Walters' approach to revising educational standards without public input or school district notification has contributed to a broader issue of undermining public education. This lack of openness and accountability has fostered skepticism among parents and educators, who are concerned about the long-term impact on students.Moreover, Walters' policies are perceived as part of a larger agenda to weaken public education in favor of promoting religious and private schooling. The tying of school accreditation to standardized test scores, coupled with new rules backed by religious organizations, threatens to penalize schools that do not meet the new criteria. This strategy appears to be designed to force schools into failure, thereby pushing them toward private or religious alternatives. The impact of these policies could be severe, as it sets up local school districts to struggle and potentially fail, harming students and diminishing the quality of public education.Educators have expressed concern that such policies not only misrepresent the effectiveness of educational reforms but also undermine the credibility and utility of educational assessments. The artificial inflation of performance metrics disregards the real needs and challenges of students and educators. This manipulation detracts from meaningful educational improvements and erodes the tools that educators use to evaluate and enhance their effectiveness. The overall effect is a potential rollback of educational progress and a deepening of the existing crisis in Oklahoma's public education system.Critics also warn that these changes could have long-term consequences for students who may enter higher education unprepared, believing they are more competent than they actually are. This mismatch between perceived and actual academic ability can lead to feelings of inadequacy and undermine students' confidence. As Oklahoma continues to grapple with these issues, there are growing concerns about how such educational policies will affect the state's future workforce and economic standing.The situation reflects a broader trend of political interference in education and raises questions about the motivations behind such policies. Critics argue that the ultimate goal may be to dismantle public education and replace it with a system that aligns more closely with conservative and religious ideologies. This shift could have far-reaching implications for educational equity and the quality of education provided to students in Oklahoma and potentially beyond.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.36.2 featuring Cynthia McDonald, Jonathan Roudabush,Scott Dickie and Cindy PlazaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

Anytime we have a big night with a lot of new students, we need to be extra intentional to be prepared for them. This week Josh Baldwin talks with Tommy Stegmaier about what we can do to help contribute to the success of big nights, like The Bash. 

M2s Leticia Franciso and Gizzy Keeler, who served as orientation leaders for this year's new crop of medical and PA students, were in a good position to talk about the experience of transitioning from Orientation Week to the first year of medical school, highlighting the changes in attitudes and relationships they saw. They, along with PA2 Julie Vuong and M4 Katie Higham-Kessler compare the pre-med and medical school environments and offer advice to incoming students. And our admissions expert Rachel Schulista returns to help answer questions from listener JustAGirl who's trying to stay sane during the application process while the other applicants around her are not being especially helpful, and listener Chris's worry that he's looking to the future at the expense of the present. Plus, the importance of having diverse experiences, the real value of personal statements in applications, and why the pursuit of genuine personal interests will help you get into med school and beyond.

In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of our brand new community for our students! We recently moved our student community away from Facebook, and into a new home on our course website.  Today I want to get into what you'll find over at the new community, and why we made the switch, and how you access the community if you are a student, and what to do if you're not! In this episode we discuss:  Who is this community for, why we have one (and why it's better than any free community out there!)  Why are we moving from Facebook, even though this wasn't in my plans until recently! All the fun things you'll find inside the community - free resources, updates, support and deeper discussions (and so much more to come!)  How the structure of the new community makes more sense, and how it will help you find what you are looking for more easily.  How to access the community as a student, and how to get access if you're not!  ➡️  Check out our programs and resources here!  COME SAY HI!

The United States is steadily being divided as social movement after social movement sweeps across the country, from Black Lives Matter to the protests over the Israel–Hamas war. According to Mike Gonzalez, co-author of “NextGen Marxism,” these protests are actually being fueled by Marxist organizations, which foment ideas that seek to introduce the next iteration of Marxism. One that's not solely determined by economics and class, but instead by race, ethnicity, sexual identity, and any point of difference that can be exploited. We speak to Mike Gonzalez about the evolution of Marxism, how it has infiltrated student protests in the United States, and how the end goal of Marxism still remains the same—to destabilize society.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Michael D. Shear of The New York Times writes that on Monday, while speaking from Madison, Wisconsin, President Joe Biden “announced a large-scale effort to help pay off federal student loans for tens of millions of American borrowers, seeking an election-year boost by returning to a 2020 campaign promise that was blocked by the Supreme Court last year. Mr. Biden's new plan would reduce the amount that 25 million borrowers still owe on their undergraduate and graduate loans. It would wipe away the entire amount for more than four million Americans. Altogether, White House officials said, 10 million borrowers would see debt relief of $5,000 or more.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/08/us/politics/biden-student-loans-debt-relief.html 4:20pm- While appearing on CNN, Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) defended the Biden Administration's plan to eliminate $5,000 of student loan debt for an estimated 10 million borrowers despite the Supreme Court having previously ruled that the executive branch is constitutionally incapable of forgiving loan debt unilaterally. 4:35pm- Are jeans causing climate change?

Before he was able to answer a single one, anti-Israel protesters unleashed chaos. As Holloway attempted to address the crowd, ‘pro-Palestinian students interrupted the town hall and prevented the scheduled programming from happening.
