Send us a textIn this deeply immersive Literary Aviatrix Classics conversation Dr. Jacque Boyd, Captain Jenny Beatty and I discuss Wings for Life, the extraordinary memoir of pioneering aviatrix Ruth Nichols.Nichols' life reads like myth—altitude, speed, and distance records; repeated catastrophic crashes; unrelenting physical pain; and a relentless return to the cockpit. Beneath the headlines lies a story of discipline, preparation, spiritual conviction, and resilience shaped by mentorship, friendship, and loss.We trace Nichols' journey from debutante to record-setting pilot, from shattered vertebrae to historic long-distance flights, and from personal heartbreak to immensely impactful global humanitarian work. This conversation also places Nichols within the broader context of women's aviation history—alongside Amelia Earhart, The Ninety-Nines, and the interwar aviation world that shaped (and constrained) women's opportunities.What makes this episode special is not just what Nichols accomplished—but how she endured. This is a story about what happens when a woman refuses to disappear, even when the world—and her own body—tries to stop her.Topics Covered·       Ruth Nichols' record-setting flights in altitude, speed, and distance·       The brutal physical cost of early aviation—and survival against the odds·       Mentorship from Harry Rogers and Clarence Chamberlain·       Women pilots, publicity, and the economics of survival in aviation·       The founding and early purpose of The Ninety-Nines·       Competition, friendship, and tension with Amelia Earhart·       Faith, Quaker values, and Nichols' pivot toward humanitarian aviation·       Relief Wings, disaster response, and the roots of Civil Air Patrol·       Why Ruth Nichols deserves a larger place in aviation historyDid you know you can support your local independent bookshop and me by shopping through my Bookshop.org affiliate links on my website?

  Welcome to Season 5, Episode 52! This is it, the final episode of Season 5! As we close out 2025, we take a moment to reflect on the guests we've had on the show as well as the different topics we've talked about. We'd link them all here, but it would take a LOT of space to honor everyone. So let's just say that we've had a great year, highlighted by some very special guests. Our guests this season included well-known academics like Gordon H. Chang, Ann Ishimaru, and Beth Lew-Williams; entertainers from the stage and screen like Olivia Cheng, Troy Iwata, and Nancy Wang; Journalists like Vicky Nguyen, Michael Luo, and Karin K. Jensen; and authors galore like Kimberly Tso, Abigail Hing Wen, Sarah Myer, Camey Yeh, Andrea Wang, and Jamie Jo Hoang. There were so many others who deserve mention, but it's just way easier if you go back, see the episodes, you missed, and listen to them! We also love that we continue to have episodes on topics like Egg Foo Yung, Aloha Shirts, Dumplings, the Chinese Labour Corps, API Garment Workers, the Supreme Court Ruling Lau v Nichols, and API in Formula 1 Driving… and that's just a small sample.  Thanks for listening! We appreciate the support, and we're excited to bring you more topics and guests in 2026.

Adult Class - 10-26-25 - Bro Leslie Nichols

Sunday School with Sis Donna Nichols  12.21.25

Higher education is about transformation: research shows that the most well-prepared graduates are those who have experienced changes in how they think about and experience the world around them. Combined with flexible information-seeking and evaluation skills, learning ways to break information bubbles is essential for dealing with today's challenging, complex information environment. Jack Mezirow's transformative learning theory, which frames how adults think about and interact with the world around them, offers a way forward. In Information Literacy and Critical Thinking: Using Perspective Transformation to Break Information Bubbles (2025, ALA) Amanda Nichols Hess invites academic librarians to consider critical librarianship, pedagogy, and information literacy instruction in tandem with transformative learning theory, demonstrating tangible ways to integrate these concepts into their practice. Readers will discover an overview of critical library pedagogy and transformative learning theory, showing how reflection and action lie at the core of both ideas; in-depth exploration of the ten phases of the perspective transformation process and how they relate to key facets of critical librarianship, critical pedagogy, and critical information literacy; important theoretical and research viewpoints that elucidate perspective transformation; real-world scenarios modelling how one's own praxis can support learners; and a myriad of ideas, reflection questions, opportunities for action, and additional resources to spur readers to look beyond their own information bubbles and facilitate environments where learners can do the same. Guest: Amanda Nichols Hess, PhD, is the coordinator of instruction and research help at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. She holds a PhD in educational leadership, an education specialist certificate in instructional technology, and a Master of Science in information. Amanda's research focuses on information literacy, instructional design, online learning, and the intersections of these topics—particularly in library-centric professional learning. Her work has been published in College & Research Libraries, Communications in Information Literacy, Journal of Academic Librarianship, and portal: Libraries and the Academy, among other venues. In addition to editing and authoring books for ACRL and ALA Editions, Amanda also authored Transforming Academic Library Instruction (Rowman & Littlefield, 2019). Host: Dr. Michael LaMagna is the Information Literacy Program & Library Services Coordinator and Professor of Library Services at Delaware County Community College. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Sunday Roast, Phil Carroll, Kevin Hornsby and Charles Archer run through the week's key market and macro themes, from inflation, interest rates and currency weakness to shifting political and economic pressures. The conversation turns to gold and silver, physical supply tightness, paper market distortions and why precious metals are increasingly viewed as protection rather than speculation. With Rick Rule unable to join, Charles steps in to unpack his core thinking around purchasing power, inflation and capital preservation. The episode also features a conversation with John Minett, CEO of Nichols Cars, exploring motorsport heritage, the Nichols N1A and the future of specialist performance car manufacturing, before wrapping up with Movers & Shakers across mining, defence and critical metals. 00:00 - 00:12:19 Weekly News Roundup  00:12:19 Fake Rick for the day !  00:36:44 Introduction to Nichols Collective 00:49:04 #ARCM  00:50:25 #SVML  00:51:58 #POLX  00:52:21 #VLRM  00:52:48 #ALRT  00:55:13 #GMET Disclaimer & Declaration of Interest This podcast may contain paid promotions, including but not limited to sponsorships, endorsements, or affiliate partnerships.

DEKA World Championships took place in Fort Lauderdale, FL this past weekend and while we focus on being an OCR podcast, this event has my interest every year! Since we didn't fly down to cover it in person (someday!), we looked for an athlete to have on the show to talk about their experience. It didn't take long to pick Brooklyn Nichols as our potential guest as she had an incredible race weekend being the first elite to win all events, especially in an increasingly stacked field! We talk about her background in sport and fitness, coaching, how she came across hybrid racing, her history with DEKA, her plans for the world championships, HYROX, and much more!  We did not discuss the sled station in the DEKA STRONG because what matters is the end result and that Brooklyn had an incredible series of races.  I am not an expert in the sport but that being said Dave Claxton is as the head official, and DEKA stands by their decision and I'm sure there will be other podcasts talking about the situation.

In this episode of our Mike Nichols Marathon, the last of the year, we are ankle-deep in the auteur's 90's output as we discuss the 1991 film Regarding Henry. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us debate whether Nichols abandoned or lost his subversive edge over the course of two decades since his most iconic work or if his early masterpieces were an anomaly in a catalogue of safe movies about relationships. We talk about this movie functioning as an attempt at a Frank Capra film or an antidote to Wall Street and how the film's overt clichés make it look like a Hallmark production. We also point out that Bill Nunn's character is a walking and talking HR liability, that brain trauma can apparently be cured with hot sauce and place a few comments against J.J. Abrams's screenwriting output as well.

In this special mentor roundtable, Michael is joined by long-time advisors Brad Tacia and Jonathan Nichols to break down what's happening in multifamily right now. They share the latest trends in deal flow, investor sentiment, capital raising, and student success—plus the strategies that are working best in today's market. If you want a clear picture of the current landscape and how new investors are getting deals done, this episode is for you.Key TakeawaysDeal flow is improving as interest rates stabilize and lenders stop granting extensions, pushing more assets to market. Investor sentiment is stronger than last year, and capital raising is easier with more certainty in the economy. Consistency wins — analyzing deals, making offers, and staying resilient through near misses is the path to success. Partnerships matter — deal finders and capital raisers together accelerate momentum and unlock bigger opportunities. Sample deal packages allow students to raise capital before they have a deal under contract, solving the “chicken-and-egg” problem. You don't need years of experience to get broker attention — consistency, communication, and a clear playbook build instant credibility.Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael Blank For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session501/

Dave sits down with WSL Championship Tour standout Isabella Nichols and filmmaker/photographer Jakob Gjerluff Ager to dive into their new film Nordborn, a cinematic ode to Isabella's Danish heritage and the quiet strength found in cold-water surfing. Fresh off a season of heavy travel, Isabella reflects on a year that pushed her physically and emotionally, and how reconnecting with her family's lineage opened unexpected creative and personal doors. She shares how Denmark went from a childhood holiday destination to the emotional anchor of a new project, one that helped her explore identity, belonging, and the feeling of “hygge” that shaped the film's tone. Jakob breaks down the creative process behind capturing the stark, soulful beauty of the North Atlantic, why he was drawn to telling Isabella's story, and how their shared cultural ties shaped the visual language of Nordborn. Together, they talk about bringing a non-traditional surf landscape to life, blending family history with modern surf performance, and the unexpected magic of cold-water lineups. The trio also dives into the contrasts between tour life and creative life, navigating career pivots, the importance of place and community, and how storytelling can reshape the way we see surfing and surfers.

What if the most important decision you ever made was trusting someone who saw your potential before you fully saw it yourself? In this episode, Morgan Nichols, CEO of Life Branch Wealth Partners and financial advisor, shares her journey from a 25-year-old in corporate finance loading up a U-Haul and driving cross-country to lead a financial advisory practice in Texas. As the first born of two financial advisors, Morgan was "destined" for this work, but it was her father-in-law Gary's belief in her potential that gave her the springboard to build a multi-state practice with offices in three states and serve four generations of the same family. From working in a male-dominated sales environment where she was the youngest person on the desk to becoming CEO and co-authoring "Intentional Legacy" with partner Kelly Base, Morgan's story reveals the power of relationships that see who you can become. Through fertility challenges overcome with the help of two incredible doctors, she now wakes up every morning with her three-year-old daughter as her "why," a constant reminder that we get one shot at this life, so we might as well make it as intentional and impactful as possible. Morgan shares why achievement without purpose left her asking "why do we work so hard?", how opposite strengths with the right partner create relationship gold, and why showing up with gratitude and goodness puts us on the right foot to make million-dollar impacts we might never even see coming.   [00:05:20] What Morgan Does: Financial Advisor with a Different Approach Financial advisor and CEO of Life Branch Wealth Partners Careful to define "financial advisor" - not just transactional relationships Works with clients covering all areas of financial lives Serves individuals, families with larger portfolios, and small business owners Helps clients navigate financial peace of mind [00:06:32] Leading a Multi-State Practice: Growth-Minded Excellence CEO of practice with offices in three states: Grapevine, Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth area) Harrisonburg, Virginia Chicagoland area, Illinois Loves learning about industry changes and simplifying for clients Leads a team, trains younger advisors Works with well-seasoned advisors, sharing perspectives Building a team focused on making a difference in the lives of others [00:07:45] Destined for This Work: The Apple Didn't Fall Far First born of two financial advisors After college, took a job in Boston in wholesaling, corporate finance Enjoyed opportunities and learning ground Recognized that for some people, personal finance makes their eyes glaze over; they just want to delegate it [00:09:18] Most Impactful Result: Four Generations of One Family Works with four generations of one family Started with one generation in the middle: husband and wife in their 30s trying to raise children and manage life Over time, ended up working with the parents and grandparents Heartwarming to know the whole family line is seeing the benefit of planning [00:12:00] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Gary's Leap of Faith Father-in-law Gary is the advisor who gave her the career opportunity At 25, working in corporate finance in Boston, thought she was doing pretty good Had opportunity to leave Boston, load up U-Haul, drive across country Without that opportunity, she wouldn't have ability to springboard the way she is today Achievement is one of her core values, and this relationship helped her grow her career [00:16:34] Finding Relationship Gold: Kelly Base and Opposite Strengths Kelly Base is an advisor on her team Co-authored book "Intentional Legacy" together over the past year Met in 2023 through a women's entrepreneurial group Having more fun in their career than they ever could have imagined "We have to find people that compliment our strengths and can also speak truth in our lives so we can become the sharpest versions of ourselves and sharpen one another" [00:19:20] The Million-Dollar Question: Why Do We Work So Hard? Very driven, wired a certain way Can work all day, come home, be fulfilled in career When she really dove into her values, realized family really matters Area families don't always talk about: challenges with fertility, having a family Felt sharing her story was important so others can feel comfortable sharing theirs [00:20:00] The Gift of Life: Two Doctors and a Miracle Had two doctors in her life who navigated the challenge with her Journey from "we don't think you're gonna be able to have children" to having a beautiful daughter In the spirit of intention, being achievement-minded and a mom "I've got my work baby and my baby baby, and I'm always juggling their priorities" Doctors gave her the shot to pour into the next generation [00:22:20] Faith and Gratitude: The Foundation of Everything Faith is very important to her and aligns with her values Has achievement as a value Leans into her faith as she does her work and lives her personal life Hopes to continue making an impact in lives of others, personally and professionally [00:24:00] Giving Back: Grace and Growing Generosity Giving back in community is really important Supports Grace, a local charitable organization helping the underserved who need help As a business, able to support their endeavors and help those who need it most Giving back is ingrained in core values Wouldn't have a business if it weren't for relationship with Gary, or it wouldn't look the way it does today [00:30:17] Mentorship Matters: Female Advisors Pouring In Started career in sales environment that was probably 10% female Was the youngest person on the sales desk in downtown Boston Now advocates for young women starting in finance: "Go find mentors. You're not too young, don't hesitate. This is a great career and you can get so much out of those relationships" "You never even know where all of them are gonna lead, but they make such an impact" [00:32:05] Where to Find Morgan & The Intentional Legacy Website for book: intentionallegacybook.com Feedback: "This is something I wish I would've read 20, 30 years ago.

Aaron Nichols grew up in Bakersfield where his hardworking single mom juggled long hospital shifts and cleaning jobs to support him and his brothers. Music sparked early when he would secretly play his older brother's electric guitar, and by age 13 was excelling in lessons that his mom made possible. Years later, he reconnected with his childhood crush Felisha - they're now happily married with a young son, Jack, who cheers him on. Aaron moved to San Diego in 2013, playing local wedding and party bands while singing harmonies in church. The passing of his favorite singer, Chris Cornell, inspired him to explore his own voice, eventually booking gigs as a lead singer. In 2022, Aaron and Felisha made the leap to Nashville, where he now plays four to five nights a week, leads worship at church and has gained the confidence to audition for "The Voice," ready to take his music to the next stage.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Our Mike Nichols 2000s miniseries continues with one of the director's strangest career anomalies: Charlie Wilson's War. Phil and Emily are joined by critic and writer Sonia Saraiya to unpack how Nichols, Aaron Sorkin, Tom Hanks, and Julia Roberts came together to make a political dramedy that feels breezy on the surface but carries enormous historical weight underneath.The conversation digs into the true story behind the film Charlie Wilson, Joanne Herring, and CIA operative Gust Avrakotos and how their covert efforts armed Afghan fighters during the Soviet Afghan War. Phil breaks down the film's compressed narrative and its reluctance to grapple with the long-term consequences of U.S. involvement, including the geopolitical chain reaction the movie only gestures toward. Sonia and Emily explore Sorkin's ideology, the movie's softened satire, and how the adaptation diverged from the darker, sharper script Nichols originally signed onto.From Philip Seymour Hoffman's electric performance to Nichols' complicated, last-years-of-his-career filmmaking context, the episode traces how the movie became both an accessible studio comedy and a missed opportunity for deeper political reckoning. They also examine the infamous alternate ending, Nichols' battle over the cut, and the creative tug-of-war between Hanks, Sorkin, and the studio.Whether you've revisited Charlie Wilson's War recently or haven't thought about it since 2007, this episode highlights why the film is entertaining, frustrating, and uniquely revealing about the final chapter of Mike Nichols' film career.

When Dan Nichols and his wife Joy discovered at their 20-week ultrasound that their unborn son had hypoplastic left heart syndrome, their world was turned upside down. What followed was a journey through three open-heart surgeries before kindergarten, two terrifying moments when baby Landon flatlined, and a profound deepening of faith that continues to shape Dan's ministry today. In this powerful conversation, Dan opens up about wrestling with God in hospital, rejecting the prosperity gospel's false promises, and learning to trust God's heart when you can't trace His hand.   Beyond his personal story, Dan shares his passion for church unity through Northeast Collaborative, a regional network bringing pastors and denominations together in the most unchurched corner of America. He discusses his Making Scripture Simple book series designed to help children engage deeply with God's Word, and reflects on how suffering has transformed him into a more empathetic leader. Whether you're walking through your own valley or simply want to hear an honest conversation about faith, doubt, and God's unfailing presence, this episode will encourage and challenge you.   WEBLINKS Dan and Joy's Website Northeast Collaborative Dents in the Darkness Podcast

This week, we continue our Mike Nichols miniseries with a deep dive into Closer (2004), joined by Sean Fennessey of The Big Picture. It's a film that captivated many of us in our early 20s only to unravel under rewatch with age, perspective, and healthier emotional boundaries.We unpack why Closer once felt like “grown-up cinema,” how its theatrical origins shape its structure, and why its four leads Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, and Clive Owen are all performing at maximum intensity inside a script that might not deserve them. From the infamous strip-club scene to the messy power dynamics, contradictions, and emotional violence embedded in Patrick Marber's writing, we ask the question: does any of this actually work?Sean brings insight into Nichols' career, the film's mid-2000s cultural footprint (including its unexpected influence on emo/screamo lyrics), and the era's attempt to manufacture Jude Law into Hollywood's next megastar. And yes, we talk about Damien Rice, the Oscars, and why Closer remains a fascinating artistic contradiction: a film full of great performances inside a story that collapses under scrutiny.
