Podcast appearances and mentions of Olive branch

“I enjoy bringing joy for us all.” That's how Erika Monaé Lewis — founder of The EMG Network and creator of Networking on Purpose — explains the spark that's been in her since childhood. In this Detroit is Different conversation, Erika unpacks how growing up on the East Side near the old city airport, running the block with friends, and soaking in the wisdom of the neighborhood shaped her gift for connection. “I want to see you win. I want to see you grow,” she says, tracing her journey from DSA drama major and pomerette to HR leader refusing to “sign off on injustice,” to a coach teaching professionals how to turn relationships into results. Erika breaks down why networking isn't small talk — it's self-leadership, imagination, and joy rooted in legacy Black Detroit culture. From migration stories out of Olive Branch, Mississippi to the discipline it takes to step fully into entrepreneurship, Erika reminds us that “failure is never final,” and that authentic relationships are a form of wealth our grandparents modeled long before LinkedIn. This episode is a bridge — from the past practices that kept Black Detroit alive to the future strategies that will keep us connected, empowered, and winning together. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

What does it really take for a young player to chase a professional dream beyond their hometown club scene?Wes sits down with Ozark United FC Academy goalkeeper Zach Taylor and his parents, Beth and Joel, to unpack the family, sacrifice, and belief behind a 14 year old's journey from Olive Branch, Mississippi, to MLS NEXT soccer in Northwest Arkansas.Zach shares how his life has been “soccer, soccer, soccer” for as long as he can remember, from pounding the ball off the wall in the backyard to treating the garage as his best teammate. He talks about the standard at Ozark United, what it felt like stepping into his first MLS NEXT match in Louisiana, and why the playing style, speed of play, and role of the goalkeeper made him feel like he had finally found “home” with his new teammates.Beth and Joel pull back the curtain on the commitment behind that dream. They talk about balancing work, school, and travel, what it is like to have dad as both airline pilot and full-time “Taylor transportation coordinator,” and how owning a small plane turns a 5-hour drive into a 1-hour flight to train in Bentonville. They share honestly about finances, time, and why the level of buy-in from parents and players matters just as much as the letters on the league.Zach then looks ahead and gets real about his goals. From earning a spot in Division 1 college soccer, to breaking into the US Youth National Team pool, to one day playing professionally in Germany for clubs like Wolfsburg or Dortmund, he shares how he pairs big dreams with daily work, no off days, and a mindset that “if your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.”If you are a parent, player, or coach trying to figure out the “right path” in youth soccer, this conversation gives you a relatable, behind-the-scenes look at one family's route, the decisions along the way, and what they are learning about joy, pressure, and keeping the game fun.

Well, well, well, look who wants to make amends. Kody decides to soft-launch an apology tour, but his communication shows he's much more dependent on Robyn's approval than he'd admit. In the same vein, Robyn accidentally reveals some of how she directs Kody. Fascinating.Meanwhile, Meri, Christine, and Janelle are all having fun in their own ways with friends and family.

We begin with the tragic UPS cargo jet crash near Worldport in Louisville, UPS's critical global hub, which resulted in at least nine confirmed fatalities and exposed the fragility of single-point logistics assets. This immediate physical disruption led UPS to cancel initial express and deferred operations and suspend the money-back guarantee for all US packages, even as the NTSB worked quickly to recover the flight recorders. Following the accident, night sort operations at Worldport partially resumed to enable next-day air deliveries, though delivery commitments were relaxed for Thursday. Wall Street severely reacted to 3PL RXO's Q3 earnings report, sending the stock plummeting over 14% pre-market after the company reported adjusted net income of just $2 million compared to $7 million last year and missed analyst estimates on EPS. RXO's CEO cited a "deadly combination" of rising truckload capacity costs alongside persistently weak demand, forcing the company to launch aggressive new cost initiatives targeting over $30 million in savings. Broader market data confirms this complex landscape, revealing a persistent trucking paradox where Q3 national shipment volumes fell 2.9% but shipper spending paradoxically increased 2% quarter-over-quarter, suggesting that capacity is leaving the market faster than demand is declining. This divergence grants remaining carriers unexpected pricing power, while regional differences were severe, including a massive 15.7% volume drop in the Southwest amplified by stricter DOT English language proficiency rules. Further underscoring the market weakness, recent CarrierSource data shows shipper search activity for trucking capacity fell to its lowest point in over a month, driven by macroeconomic uncertainty and production slowdowns. In response to this volatility, global terminal operator DP World is focusing on resilient supply chains by leveraging its vast network across 78 countries and strategically investing in technology, particularly AI and predictive tools. DP World is offering adaptive solutions such as deploying "pop-up warehouses" for temporary surge capacity in locations like Olive Branch, Mississippi, and Miami, and strategically using alternative gateways like Prince Rupert and Vancouver for fast rail access into the US Midwest and Northeast. These strategies emphasize building options and flexibility into the network to navigate volatility, whether it stems from physical crashes or financial squeezes. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fluent Fiction - Italian: From Olive Branch to Family Harmony: A Sardinian Tale Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/it/episode/2025-08-28-22-34-02-it Story Transcript:It: Il sole calava lentamente su un piccolo bosco d'ulivi ai margini di un tranquillo villaggio sardo.En: The sun was slowly setting over a small olive grove on the outskirts of a peaceful Sardinian village.It: La luce dorata inondava gli alberi, mentre l'aria si riempiva del profumo di olive mature.En: The golden light flooded the trees, while the air filled with the scent of ripe olives.It: Mariano, con il volto serio e pensieroso, camminava lungo i filari.En: Mariano, with a serious and thoughtful expression, walked along the rows.It: Aveva una missione importante: parlare con sua sorella.En: He had an important mission: to talk to his sister.It: Mariano era un uomo pragmatico.En: Mariano was a pragmatic man.It: Sapeva quanto fossero necessari i soldi.En: He knew how necessary money was.It: La famiglia aveva debiti, e la terra della nonna, ora abbandonata, poteva essere la soluzione.En: The family had debts, and the grandmother's land, now abandoned, could be the solution.It: "Una vendita risolverebbe tutto," pensava.En: “A sale would solve everything,” he thought.It: Ma sapeva anche che Alessia, la sua sorella giovane, non era d'accordo.En: But he also knew that Alessia, his younger sister, disagreed.It: Alessia era già al bosco, seduta sotto l'olivo più grande, uno dei preferiti della loro nonna.En: Alessia was already in the grove, sitting under the largest olive tree, one of their grandmother's favorites.It: Il vento leggero muoveva i rami, e le cicale cantavano una melodia familiare.En: The light wind moved the branches, and the cicadas sang a familiar melody.It: Alessia guardava il cielo, perso nei ricordi d'infanzia.En: Alessia gazed at the sky, lost in childhood memories.It: Amava quel luogo.En: She loved that place.It: Per lei, era più di un semplice pezzo di terra; era la storia della famiglia.En: To her, it was more than just a piece of land; it was the family's history.It: "Alessia," chiamò Mariano avvicinandosi.En: "Alessia," called Mariano as he approached.It: Lei si voltò e lo salutò con un sorriso triste.En: She turned and greeted him with a sad smile.It: "Voglio parlare," disse Mariano, con una voce gentile.En: "I want to talk," said Mariano, in a gentle voice.It: "So cosa significa questo posto per te."En: "I know what this place means to you."It: "Non possiamo vendere, Mariano.En: "We can't sell, Mariano.It: È la nostra eredità.En: It's our heritage.It: Qui ci sono i ricordi della nonna," rispose Alessia con un filo di voce, cercando di trattenere le lacrime.En: Here are the memories of grandma," replied Alessia in a soft voice, trying to hold back tears.It: "Capisco," replicò Mariano, "ma abbiamo bisogno di soldi.En: "I understand," Mariano replied, "but we need money.It: I debiti ci schiacciano."En: The debts are crushing us."It: Iniziò così una conversazione accalorata.En: Thus began a heated conversation.It: Entrambi avevano punti validi, ma la tensione salì.En: Both had valid points, but the tension rose.It: Sotto l'albero d'ulivo, confessarono anche vecchie ferite, mai realmente guarite.En: Under the olive tree, they also confessed old wounds, never truly healed.It: Difficoltà familiari, incomprensioni, silenzi prolungati nel tempo.En: Family difficulties, misunderstandings, prolonged silences over time.It: Il sole stava ormai per tramontare, tingendo il cielo di rosa e arancio.En: The sun was about to set, coloring the sky pink and orange.It: Mariano guardò il terreno, pensieroso.En: Mariano looked at the ground, deep in thought.It: "Forse... forse possiamo trovare un compromesso," disse infine.En: "Maybe... maybe we can find a compromise," he finally said.It: "Cosa intendi?"En: "What do you mean?"It: chiese Alessia, curiosa.En: Alessia asked, curious.It: "Vendiamo una parte del terreno.En: "We sell a part of the land.It: Con il ricavato, paghiamo i debiti.En: With the proceeds, we pay off the debts.It: Ma teniamo questo pezzo," propose Mariano, indicando l'olivo sotto cui sedevano.En: But we keep this piece," Mariano proposed, indicating the olive tree under which they sat.It: Alessia rifletté per un attimo.En: Alessia reflected for a moment.It: "Potrebbe funzionare," ammise.En: "It might work," she admitted.It: Sedettero insieme, osservando il sole scomparire all'orizzonte, silenziosi, ma finalmente in pace.En: They sat together, watching the sun disappear on the horizon, silent, but finally at peace.It: Mariano aveva imparato ad apprezzare di più le radici familiari, mentre Alessia aveva compreso le sfide pratiche della loro situazione.En: Mariano had learned to appreciate the family roots more, while Alessia had understood the practical challenges of their situation.It: Quella sera, nei campi d'ulivi, gli antichi dissensi si trasformarono in nuove e fraterne promesse.En: That evening, in the olive fields, the ancient disagreements transformed into new and fraternal promises.It: Un equilibrio era stato trovato, tra il passato e il futuro.En: A balance had been found, between the past and the future.

#turkialalshikh #GervontaDavis #tankdavis Join Tha Boxing Voice as we unpack Turki Alalshikh's latest move—a Ring Magazine and BOXRAW video spotlighting Coach Calvin Ford's Upton Boxing Center, home of Gervonta “Tank” Davis. Is this a peace offering with equipment to mend ties after Tank's two-Ferrari demand, aiming to sign him as a Riyadh Season ambassador? We'll explore if Davis will bury the hatchet for a shot at big fights like Shakur Stevenson, or if his “devil” stance on Saudi boxing holds firm.
