Erico Montalvo grew up in Rhode Island without a father in the picture and a mother too consumed by the streets to be present — and by the time the system found him he had already cycled through juvenile detention multiple times and built an identity that the streets had shaped long before he was old enough to understand where that path was going. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what happened just days after he turned 18 — an accidental altercation with a veteran that turned into a self-defense situation that ended in the veteran's death — and what being charged with murder instead of recognized as a victim of circumstance actually produced over the ten years he spent fighting his case from inside a Rhode Island county jail before finally taking a manslaughter plea deal and accepting a 13 year sentence. _____________________________________________  #prison #selfdefense #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to FACTOR & HIMS for sponsoring this episode: Factor: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and 1 free breakfast item per box for 1 year, while supplies last until! _____________________________________________ Hims: Visit https://hims.com/lockedin to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you. _____________________________________________ Connect with Erico Montalvo: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RicoStillMadeit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ricostillmadeit/ Website: https://linktr.ee/Ricostillmadeit _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Guest Introduction 00:22 Early Life in Providence 02:00 Mother's Mental Health & Upbringing 03:13 Father's Deportation 05:00 Feeling Like an Outsider as a Kid 07:36 First Wrong Turns & Finding Identity 10:31 Gang Culture in Providence 16:00 Homelessness & Juvenile Detention 19:27 Getting His GED in Juvenile 21:00 Sponsor Segment: Factor Meals 23:07 Turning 18 & a Spiritual Warning 28:00 Close Calls on the Streets 30:40 The Night of the Incident 37:22 Fight, Stabbing, and Escape 43:03 Learning the Victim Died 43:50 Realizing the Victim Was a Veteran 47:00 Hiding Out and Seeking Help 50:03 Getting Arrested 52:54 Interrogation & Initially Charged with Murder 01:00:00 First Lawyer & a Broken System 01:05:59 Meeting Dawn Huntley, a New Lawyer 01:09:32 Adapting to Prison Life 01:13:00 Finding Faith in Prison 01:21:00 Starting to Turn His Life Around 01:30:00 Facing a 60-Year Offer 01:37:00 COVID Stalls the Case 01:41:00 Considering Trial 01:49:00 A Shocking Plea Deal: 25 Years with 3 to Serve  01:55:50 Walking Through the Sentence 02:03:11 Release and Adjusting to Freedom 02:08:00 Finding Purpose and New Community 02:14:20 No Regrets and a Mission _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Turning 30, dating in your 30s, and why life is short are on the table this week as Berenice and Ella unpack what it actually feels like to get older. They talk aging out of certain dating pools, letting go of friendships that no longer serve them, and why FOMO and people-pleasing quietly steal your twenties.

It's equal parts life-is-short pep talk and hard-won hindsight, with the laughs and radical honesty you come here for.Follow the girls on social!

When Ron Magill announced his retirement on February 15th, plenty of people assumed South Florida was losing its most recognizable voice in the animal world.   On this episode of Cut to the Chase: host Gregg Goldfarb sits down with Ron to set the record straight. He retired from the county, moved his office about 30 yards north, and took on a new role as Goodwill Ambassador and Conservation Liaison for the Zoo Miami Foundation. Ron walks through the work ahead of him, including building the Ron Magill Conservation Endowment, the largest conservation endowment at the zoo, where none of the money can be spent at the zoo itself and goes entirely toward protecting animals in the wild. He also shares the travel programs he's leading, from 11 national parks across five states to polar bears in Churchill and a return voyage to Antarctica.   The conversation turns personal when Ron shares the story of the animal that changed his life. It was a squirrel that came down from a tree during recess, at a time when he was a Spanish-speaking kid being bullied so badly he'd retreated into his shell. He also weighs in on why Miami has become what he calls the Ellis Island of exotic animals, what's realistically possible with pythons and iguanas at this point, and why he's profoundly concerned about the rollback of environmental protections at a national level.   Join Gregg and Ron Magill on Cut to the Chase: as they explore: Why "retirement" for Ron meant moving offices rather than stepping away, and what the Zoo Miami Foundation role actually involves How the Ron Magill Conservation Endowment works, and why none of that money can be spent at the zoo How listeners can join Ron's travel programs through the travel tab at zoomiami.org Why local conservation in your own backyard matters before global causes Whether you can actually make a living in wildlife and conservation work, and what it takes Why storytelling, not statistics or pie charts, is the skill that opens doors in this field What Miami is doing to build green corridors connecting parks for wildlife Why invasive species like pythons, iguanas, and lionfish are here to stay, and what management realistically looks like Why the python hunts matter for public education even when they don't dent the population   TIME STAMPS 0:00 – Intro: "The Ellis Island of Exotic Animals" 0:30 – Welcome to Cut to the Chase & Ron's 4-Decade Legacy 1:01 – Retiring from the County, Not From the Mission 1:38 – New Role: Zoo Miami Foundation & Conservation Endowment 2:05 – Upcoming Trips: Antarctica, Africa, National Parks & How to Join  3:36 – Conservation Work: Audubon, Wildlife Rescue & Protecting Our Backyard 4:22 – Giving Back: Scholarships for the Next Generation  5:06 – "Living a Scam": On Loving Your Job 5:37 – Can You Actually Make a Living Doing This? 6:53 – Why Storytelling Matters More Than Ever 7:11 – The Next Ron Magill?

After 46 years working under Miami-Dade County, he now serves as Goodwill Ambassador and Conservation Liaison for the Zoo Miami Foundation, where he leads the foundation's travel program and continues building the Ron Magill Conservation Endowment. He is also a USA Nikon Ambassador and wildlife photographer who has set foot on every continent and visited Africa more than 50 times.   Contact / Follow Ron Magill: Website: https://zoomiami.org (travel programs under the Travel tab) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-magill-0257bb8/   Want more conversations that cut through the noise on science, climate, and the issues shaping our future?

A great burger looks simple—but barbecue experts know there is a surprising amount of science and technique behind getting it just right. From choosing the meat to handling the patties to what happens on the grill, a few small mistakes can mean the difference between a memorable burger and a disappointing one. Source: Steve Raichlen, author of The Barbecue Bible (https://amzn.to/4bgBEcM) Life has a way of speeding up. One day you're making plans for someday, and before you know it, months or years have gone by. That's why so many people eventually find themselves wondering: Did I spend my time on the things that really mattered? According to Jodi Wellman, avoiding regret isn't about quitting your job, moving to a tropical island, or making dramatic life changes. Instead, it comes from being intentional about how you spend your days and paying attention to the experiences, relationships, and opportunities that give life meaning. In this conversation, she shares a refreshing perspective on how to stop living on autopilot, make the most of the time you have, and create a life you'll look back on with satisfaction rather than regret. Jodi is a former corporate executive, executive coach, and author of You Only Die Once: How to Make It to the End with No Regrets (https://amzn.to/3KUdQ3Z).

They can shock, offend, amuse, bond people together, relieve pain, and communicate emotion in ways ordinary words often can't. But where do these words come from? Why are some words considered offensive while others are perfectly acceptable? And why does every generation seem to have a different idea about what language is inappropriate?

In this episode, Matt Haycox sits down with Daniel Pekic - Australian expat, Bitcoin holder since under $1k, and one of the most genuinely unbucketable people on the internet. They get into how Daniel actually built his wealth (hint: it starts on the dark web), why he considers $10M unimpressive by Dubai standards, and the one trait he believes the TikTok generation has completely lost.Daniel doesn't hold back on the bigger picture either: the nanny state laws he happily breaks and why, his take on Western decline and whether it gets better before it gets worse, immigration, multiple passports, and what it really means to live as a sovereign individual.

Wife of the German-based Ghanaian whose husband demands compensation after she became pregnant by the boyfriend he told her to get for sex—but to use protection—shares her side of the story.

"No regrets" sounds like a faith statement. Jason's not so sure it's a biblical one.Jason and Jadan dig into 2 Corinthians 7:10 and ask whether Christians are actually supposed to live regret-free, or whether regret can be a tool God uses to teach and transform. They get into the difference between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow, why shame and regret aren't the same thing, and how looking back can actually move you forward instead of keeping you stuck.Questions or feedback?

What does it mean to build the family that's right for you, even when it doesn't fit society's expectations? In this episode, Tara sits down with Jacqueline Stein, founder of The Only Hearts Club, to explore the realities of raising an only child, navigating outside opinions, and finding confidence in your parenting decisions. Jacqueline shares how a simple Facebook group grew into a thriving global community for mothers of only children and why creating meaningful connections beyond traditional family structures matters more than ever. Together, Tara (an only child with an only child) and Jackie unpack the myths surrounding only-child families, the pressure many moms feel from relatives, social media, and cultural expectations, and how self-awareness and authenticity can help moms tune out the noise. They discuss sibling dynamics, chosen family, mental health, and the evolving definition of family in modern motherhood. Whether you're raising an only child, considering your family size, or simply looking for reassurance that there's no one "right" way to parent, this conversation is for you!

More than 50 people were killed during an attack on a Christian area in the city of Jos on Palm Sunday in Nigeria. More attacks occurred during Easter weekend. But not every attack on Nigerian Christians makes international news. Listen this week as Matthew Hanson, who leads VOM USA's work in West and Central Africa, explains how VOM responds to Christian persecution. He'll explain how VOM helps persecuted Christians meet immediate needs like food, clothing, and shelter; then also serves to assist with longer-term needs for emotional and spiritual healing. "We want to see both [physical and spiritual needs being met], because we want to see the church strengthened," Matthew says. Matthew also tells stories from the field, including that of a woman kidnapped and enslaved by Boko Haram, one of six jihadist groups currently attacking Christians in northern Nigeria. She told Matthew, "Each day, Jesus spoke to me and strengthened my faith, and I did not give up."

Nate Gruber sits down with No Regrets Regional Champion Brennen Sullivan for a conversation about the No Regrets Leadership Pathway and the work of releasing men into ministry and reproducing leaders who make disciples. Brennen is a pastor, disciple multiplier, and men's ministry leader living in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania. In this episode, he shares practical wisdom from his own discipleship journey and from years of helping churches build a culture of multiplication. This conversation explores why many men get rooted in faith but never move into mission, how fear and lack of equipping can keep men from leading, and why churches need an intentional pathway to help men become disciple-makers.

Send us Fan MailFive years after my book No Regrets: Hope for Your Caregiving Season released, I'm taking you inside the message that has come back to me in emails, reviews, and tearful “me too” notes from family caregivers. If you've ever felt isolated by Alzheimer's disease, dementia care, or the nonstop mental load of caregiving, I want you to hear this clearly: you are not alone, and God is not absent from the hospital room, the memory care unit, or the quiet kitchen table where you sort pills. I share five practical, faith-rooted truths that can anchor you through long days and hard decisions. We talk about intentional caregiving that helps you look back with fewer regrets, how caregiving requires both head and heart, and why faith doesn't mean you never feel fear. You'll hear a simple pattern for handling anxiety by naming what's scary, remembering God's character, and asking only for today's portion of strength, plus a needed reminder that honoring your loved one does not require losing your health, your boundaries, or your calling. To celebrate, I'm hosting a Five Days of Hope Celebration (June 1 through June 5) and giving away five signed copies of No Regrets. Listen, share this with a caregiver who needs hope, then subscribe, leave a review, and tell me: which of the five truths do you want to practice this week?

The Massacoustics may only be two brothers onstage, but Andrew and Matthew Thompson have spent more than 25 years figuring out how to make two people sound like a full band. (Have you ever seen a guy drum with one hand and play the bass with the other?) Their music pulls from Americana, roots rock, country, and gritty acoustic road music, with big harmonies, a no-frills live approach, and the kind of chemistry that only comes from playing together for decades. In this conversation, we talk about their upcoming show at Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis on Thursday, June 18, what fans can expect from a Massacoustics live set, and why they have stayed away from loops, tracks, and other stage shortcuts. We also get into the difference between playing a listening room like Rams Head and a rowdy Key West crowd, the songs that are really hitting live right now, and the newer singles including "Too Many Miles," "No Regrets," and "The Hard Way." And because they are brothers, we also get into the fun stuff — how growing up around Boston and spending time in Nashville shaped the band, the weirdest places they have played, dream collaborators, and the song from their own catalog they never get tired of playing. Tickets are available now for their June 18 show at Rams Head On Stage.

Send Kevin a Text MessageMark Canton, producer of 300, Immortals, Men in Black, Air Force One, and My Best Friend's Wedding, former President of Worldwide Production at Warner Bros., and former Chairman of Columbia Pictures and Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Companies, joins host Kevin Goetz for a conversation about a career defined by passion and instinct. From delivering mail on the Warner Bros. lot as a college student to greenlighting some of Hollywood's most beloved films, Canton reflects on the legends he learned from, the risks he took, and why he still smells the circus every time he walks onto a sound stage.Queens, New York, and Family (02:34): Canton traces his love of film to a father who survived being shot down over France in WWII, won an Oscar for a short film on Van Gogh, and went on to do publicity for Hitchcock and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and to a mother who was a published poet. The movies, he says, were always destiny.Learning from the Greats on Papillon (15:22): Working for director Franklin Schaffner in Jamaica and living between the houses of Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, Canton learned what it meant to commit to a film.From the Warner Bros. Mail Room to Running the Studio (20:31): Canton traces his rise from UCLA film student to head of Worldwide Production at Warner Bros., sharing stories about the Vacation franchise, Caddyshack, and Lethal Weapon.Taking the Helm at Columbia Pictures (39:22): Recruited by Peter Guber and Jon Peters, Canton became Chairman of Columbia Pictures and later oversaw Columbia TriStar. He reflects on the team he assembled and the record-breaking run that followed, including Jerry Maguire, My Best Friend's Wedding, Bad Boys, and Air Force One.The Art of the Difficult Screening (47:51): Canton recounts two defining test screening moments: a chaotic preview of Scorsese's The Age of Innocence in a New Jersey bowling alley, and a tough audience response to Luc Besson's Léon: The Professional that led to an ultimatum and a reworked film that became a modern classic.The Cable Guy and No Regrets (50:43): Canton defends paying Jim Carrey $17 million and notes what history confirmed: the film launched Ben Stiller's directing career, introduced Jack Black, Owen Wilson, and Judd Apatow. He also recalls his affectionate standoff with Mike Nichols over the ending of Wolf.What Keeps Audiences Coming Back (54:50): Canton argues that what fills theaters today is the same thing that made Purple Rain a phenomenon: the feeling of a live, communal, irreplaceable experience.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Mark CantonProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Mark Canton:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_CantonIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004799/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcanton/?hl=enFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

The history of Christianity in Korea is a dramatic account, both beautiful and tragic.

Listen as he shares nearly forgotten tales of incredible faith and sacrifice.  But he also explores how compromise wormed its way into the Korean Church, particularly during the Japanese occupation before World War II.  The consequences of compromise proved devastating. But even in the darkest of days, we see that redemption is possible.In the world today, many Christians can relate to this tale of two Koreas. They feel the pressure building around them, and also the temptation to compromise and become politically correct.

More than 50 people were killed during an attack on a Christian area in the city of Jos on Palm Sunday in Nigeria. More attacks occurred during Easter weekend. But not every attack on Nigerian Christians makes international news. Listen this week as Matthew Hanson, who leads The Voice of the Martyrs' work in West and Central Africa, explains how VOM responds to Christian persecution. He'll explain how VOM helps persecuted Christians meet immediate needs like food, clothing, and shelter; then also serves to assist with longer-term needs for emotional and spiritual healing. "We want to see both [physical and spiritual needs being met], because we want to see the church strengthened," Matthew says. Through gatherings where persecuted Christians share their stories and encourage one another, believers are equipped and inspired to continue boldly witnessing for Christ. Matthew shares how he and his team assess persecution in Nigeria and how VOM equips pastors to have a biblical understanding of suffering and persecution. Matthew also tells stories from the field, including that of a woman kidnapped and enslaved by Boko Haram, one of six jihadist groups currently attacking Christians in northern Nigeria. She told Matthew, "Each day, Jesus spoke to me and strengthened my faith, and I did not give up." He'll also tell about a young man who was passionate to study the Quran. As he studied, questions arose in his mind; he began to ask his teachers. But for a Muslim, asking too many questions can make one seem like an unbeliever, an infidel. The young man was threatened by his father but still committed his life to the Lord. He was forced to flee his village. He has sacrificed his home, his family and his safety. Yet he told Matthew, "Jesus is my Savior. I have no regrets." Listen to the story of Malik, a Fulani man who left Islam to follow Christ, and pray this week for persecuted brothers and sisters in Nigeria and throughout West and Central Africa. Pray they will be bold witnesses for Jesus—even to their persecutors. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians in nations like North Korea, China, Iran, and India, as well as provide free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content, and feature films.
