Podcast Summary: Cultural Branding, DEI, and Creative Authenticity with Bre FernandezIn this episode, Sacha Awwa sits down with Bre Fernandez—an award-winning Associate Creative Director, professor of advertising at the University of Miami and Miami Ad School, and rising local comedian. Known for her bold creative voice and deep cultural fluency, Bre unpacks her unconventional journey from law school dropout to creative leader, touching on everything from the importance of representation in branding to how comedy fuels her storytelling.With firsthand experience in both multicultural and general market advertising, Bre offers a refreshing and unfiltered perspective on navigating the “brovertising” world, the evolution of DEI, and why authenticity, nuance, and research are non-negotiable in successful campaigns today.Whether you're a small business owner, marketer, or creative looking to make work that actually resonates, this conversation is packed with insight—and laughs.Key Topics Discussed:1. From Law School to Ad WorldBre's Cuban upbringing and traditional career expectationsDiscovering creative advertising through Miami Ad SchoolCracking into a legacy-driven, network-dependent industry2. The Cultural Layer of BrandingWhy DEI and multicultural advertising are not interchangeableHow diverse internal teams lead to stronger external messagingDissecting tone-deaf campaigns (hello, Kendall Jenner/Pepsi)3. DEI in Advertising: Beyond BuzzwordsWhy diversity must go beyond optics to real decision-making powerThe role of DEI post-2020 and how it's being politicized todayRepresentation vs. inclusion: who's in the room vs. who's heard4. Human-Centered Creativity in an AI WorldWhy AI is a tool, not a replacement for nuanced storytellingThe risk of creative atrophy when we rely too heavily on techTeaching students to balance innovation with critical thinking5.

So what's the deal with aging? If, according to the scientists, all of our cells are completely replaced and new every 7 years, why then do we physically age? Why do we get old? In this episode, we take an initial dive into aging from frequency perspective, what we're starting to be able to change, and how it can be totally different from what your parents and your grandparents experienced. The Group Frequency Calibration® (GFC) associated with this episode will help you clarify the stories of how you should age and start to gain distance from them. Without clearing these distortion patterns, you fall into the pattern of aging that your lineage and your culture tells you you have to!

Before this radio episode, I do not think I have ever suggested that two words can change anyone's life for the better, just as they have changed mine. No, it's not “Love God,” which can also transform your life. This change you can make immediately is a simple, practical matter. You can even be deeply skeptical about it, and these two words, in defiance of your doubts, will make noticeable changes very quickly in your health and, hence, your happiness. And it's not expensive unless you want to indulge yourself.   Today, our guest is the friend and honorable physician who first said these two words to me. They came completely out of the blue and even made me laugh in surprise.   Our guest is Richard Amerling, MD, a truly science-based physician. He is literally the kind of physician they don't make anymore — one who has dedicated his life to science, to medicine, to truth, and ultimately to his patients.   Richard Amerling is also a good interviewee, bright and amusing. You will enjoy this interview while it changes your life for the better.   Here are two words that blew me away: “carnivore diet.”    I had been on a plant-based diet for many years and lost 30 pounds for several years but did not experience any dramatic health changes. A number of physical problems persisted.   I now believe that most diets are helpful simply because they reject sugar and processed food — but the carnivore diet is far more effective and has no downside at all. It can even be done more cheaply than the other diets because it includes hamburger meat and eggs if you want to make them the basis.   And if you want to cook, there is an amazing carnivore biscuit with several marvelous ingredients that Ginger makes that is so good, and goes with anything. It replaced yearnings for comfort food or bread. Her recipe is below.      Richard Amerling, MD, is a wonderful, well-trained physician who offers consultations. You can email him at Richard.Amerling@gmail.com.   Carnivore Biscuits Yields: 15 biscuits Easy prep Cook time: Bake for about 14 minutes at 450 degrees, until browning on bottoms and bits of toasty brown on top.   Ingredients:   2 cups Pork Rind Crumbs (available on Amazon.com) 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (available in 2 cup packages pre-shredded at grocery. 4 eggs 4 tablespoons sour cream 2 teaspoons baking powder (Optional additions: 2 teaspoons of garlic, 1 cup of cooked ground beef/pork/turkey)   Instructions:   Preheat oven to 450 degrees Stir pork rind crumbs, shredded cheese, and baking powder together. Add and stir in eggs, sour cream, and any optional ingredients. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide evenly into 15 dollops of dough on the baking sheet.   Bake for about 14 minutes — watch carefully as you want the top to begin to brown a little, and the bottom of the biscuit should be brown and cheesy. Sometimes, this requires an extra minute or so, depending on your stove.   Serve hot or re-heated with butter/sour cream/ strips of cooked bacon, corn beef, or other meat on top.   ______   Learn more about Dr. Peter Breggin's work: https://breggin.com/   See more from Dr. Breggin's long history of being a reformer in psychiatry: https://breggin.com/Psychiatry-as-an-Instrument-of-Social-and-Political-Control   Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal, the how-to manual @ https://breggin.com/a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-and-their-families/   Get a copy of Dr. Breggin's latest book: WHO ARE THE “THEY” - THESE GLOBAL PREDATORS?

Popping in for a moment with the DIVINE on this timely occasion So happy Saturday, beloved. A partial solar eclipse is happening today (March 29) where the moon partially cover the sun.We are entering the eclipse Hara Line… a portal between worlds where the veils thin, and the frequencies of Earth and Cosmos speak in clear song.Can you feel the pulse? The breath between breaths? The primal contraction before birth?

This year (as eggs are currently selling for $4.95 a dozen on average), the pressure's on to sustain beloved family traditions while also ensuring that none of those precious Easter eggs go to waste.   This sounds like a challenge for the Lutheran Ladies ...  In their latest Iron Ladle Challenge, Erin, Sarah, and Rachel are cooking with eggs — both raw and hard-boiled. Rachel offers a fresh take on the classic seven-layer salad with her nine-(or-ten?-)layer Cobb salad; Sarah whips up a Paleo-friendly, coffee- and cardomom-infused, almond-milk baked egg custard (from scratch!); and Erin digs deep into her own family history to serve up a literal golden oldie, Egg  à la Goldenrod.    Spring is the air — and eggs are on the table — in this delectable episode.   Rachel's Many Layered Cobb Salad  In an 11 x 15 pan, layer (in order):  1 head chopped iceberg lettuce  1+ cup chopped celery  1+ cup frozen baby peas, cooked and cooled  Dressing: 1(ish) pint mayonnaise, mixed with 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning  1+ cup thin sliced grape tomatoes  1 diced chicken breast (rotisserie, roasted, or fried)  5+ chopped hard boiled eggs  ½ pound crumbled bacon  Shredded Colby-jack cheese to taste  (Optional extra layers: diced onions, chopped avocado; may substitute bleu cheese for Colby-jack.)  Dairy-Free Baked Egg Custard (from Sarah) (paleopantry.org/dairy-free-baked-egg-custard-made-with-almond-milk) 600ml almond milk 1 vanilla pod (or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract) 4 egg yolks, plus 2 whole eggs 3-4 tablespoons honey (to taste) 1 whole nutmeg, for grating Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F. Pour the milk into a saucepan. Slit the vanilla pod in half length ways. Scrape out the seeds with the tip of the knife and add to the milk, along with the pod. Heat slowly over a gentle heat to just below boiling point, until you see small bubbles barely breaking the surface. Expect this to take at least 10 minutes, and stir frequently with a whisk or wooden spoon. Take off the heat. Fish out and discard the vanilla pod. Whisk the eggs and honey until fully blended. Gradually pour the hot milk over the eggs in a thin stream, whisking constantly to prevent the hot milk from curdling the eggs. Keep whisking until fully blended. Push through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Pour the custard into 4 ramekins with a capacity of at least 200ml, or one large dish – the recipe makes about 800ml. Finely grate the nutmeg, then sprinkle over the top (you may have more nutmeg than you need, but personally I go for a generous dusting). Arrange the ramekins / dish in a deep roasting tray, leaving space around the sides. Pour in just-boiled water from the kettle, until it reaches half-way up the sides of the ramekins. Transfer to the lowest shelf of the pre-heated oven, where the heat is gentlest. Check after 30 minutes for ramekins / 1 hour for a large dish. The custard should be just set. Test for doneness by giving a gentle shake – if there is a slight wobble in the centre of an otherwise solid mass then it is done, otherwise return to the oven and re-test in another 5 minutes. Either leave to cool for 30 minutes and serve warm, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to serve chilled. The custard will keep well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. For best results, remove from the refrigerator half an hour before serving. For a refreshing breakfast, serve with tart berry fruits. Note: Sarah substituted maple syrup for honey and extremely fine-ground cardamom coffee grounds for nutmeg. Egg à la Goldenrod (from Erin) Serves 3-4 ½ c butter ½ c flour 1 t salt 1 t pepper 3 ½ c milk 5 eggs, hardboiled Biscuits for serving (at least 6, but make 12) Peel the eggs and remove the yolks, whole if possible. Reserve the yolks. Cut the whites into small, bite-size pieces. Heat butter in a saucepan over low heat until melted. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add in the milk, stirring (yes, constantly). Once it is all incorporated, simmer and stir (!) for 1 minute. Mix in the egg whites. Grate the egg yolks with a fine grater into a small serving dish. This is the Goldenrod! Serve the egg gravy over biscuits. Top with the egg yolk Goldenrod and a sprinkle of paprika.

There's special magic in the ritual of birthdays.

What if there's another way? This year, consider making your birthday extra special for yourself. Set the tone and rhythm that feels right to you.

Grab your grenadine, better yet, make your own, and fresh squeeze some oranges. Let's make a Tequila Sunrise! Uncle Brad stumbles through the drink's contested origins, where two towns are locked in a cocktail custody battle—Tijuana and Phoenix both claiming parentage with zero willingness to share visitation rights. Our journey then wobbles north to California, where the undisputed modern version was shaped and became a rock and roll icon. Uncle Brad, who's never met a cocktail history he couldn't overexplain, walks us through two historical recipes while Jules—who believes every drink deserves an identity crisis and mezcal twist—throws convention out the window with her Oaxacan remix. Come for the history lesson, stay for the inevitable debate about which version is superior (spoiler alert: the one in your hand always wins).    Tequila Sunrise  Glass: Highball Glass  Garnish: Cherry and Orange Taco  Directions & Ingredients  In glass add:  Ice  2.0 oz Tequila Blanco  4.0 oz Fresh Orange Juice  0.5 oz of homemade grenadine  Pour grenadine slowly over back of your spoon to let it sink to the bottom  Stir gently from the bottom go give it a sunrise look   Garnish with your cherry and orange taco   Tequila Sunrise Spritz  Glass: Collins Glass  Garnish: Orange slice  Directions & Ingredients  In mixing glass add:  1.5 oz tequila  3 oz fresh orange juice  3 oz sparkling water  2 oz aperol, to top at the end for the sunrise effect  Optional: top with champagne or prosecco  Add ice, tequila, fresh orange juice, and sparkling water to a collins glass and mix together.  Slowly pour in Aperol to see your sunrise effect.  Garnish with an orange slice!   Did someone promise Japanese bitters (Uncle Brad)? They are called, “The Japanese Bitters” (btw this is an unsponsored plug – they are delicious!)   TIP: Favorite pre-made syrups for a bar.

Stress is inevitable—but being overwhelmed by it is optional. In this episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, we explore how to build resilience to stress, increase your capacity to handle pressure, and shift from reacting to responding. I'll share a personal story that illustrates the power of mindset, plus simple, actionable strategies to help you regulate your emotions and take back control.Key Takeaways:Your foundation determines your stress resilience. Prioritizing sleep, hydration, movement, and fresh air strengthens your ability to manage stress.Your thoughts create stress, not the event itself. The way you interpret a situation determines your emotional response—challenge your assumptions.Pause before reacting. A single moment of awareness can shift your response from automatic stress to intentional action.Regulating emotions is the key to stress mastery. Simple practices like deep breathing and sensory focus help activate your body's natural calming mechanisms.Stress is unavoidable, but suffering is optional. Instead of resisting it, approach stress with curiosity and flexibility—adapt, reframe, and choose ease over struggle."Stress isn't caused by an event. It is caused by how you interpret the event, and consciously deciding how to handle that event or that circumstance is your superpower." - Karen GombaultIn short, stress doesn't have to dictate your day. By strengthening your foundation, shifting your mindset, and regulating your emotions, you can handle high-pressure situations with confidence and clarity. What's one thing you could do differently the next time stress arises? Small shifts add up—and mastering stress is within your control.

In this exclusive Petworking interview from WVC 2025, I had a chance to chat with Kevin DeWalt, President of @CASCO Pet, to explore one of the most exciting innovations transforming veterinary care!One of the biggest themes I noticed at this year's conference was the complete reimagining of traditional veterinary spaces - moving away from clinical, institutional environments toward designs that prioritize comfort and aesthetics for both pets and their parents.CASCO's WELLKennels perfectly embody this shift. These revolutionary kennels replace cold stainless steel cages with thoughtfully designed units featuring:- Sound-dampening materials that reduce stress for all animals in the clinic- Smart lighting with three modes (Daylight, Recovery, Cleaning)- Integrated heating elements for patient comfort- Enhanced biosecurity features- Flexible configurations for different patient sizes and needs- Power outlets for medical equipment right at the point of care- Optional oxygen delivery systemsIn our conversation, Kevin explains how these innovations not only make the veterinary experience less stressful for pets but also improve workflow for staff and create a more appealing environment for pet parents. We also discuss exciting applications beyond vet clinics, including shelters and mobile transport units!Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to Petworking for more exclusive interviews with the innovators transforming pet care!What features would you want to see in your vet's clinic?

Sunday Service: Forgiving others is not optional but a fundamental sign of being a believer. Jesus repeatedly emphasizes that we must forgive all offenses, both small and great, no matter how often they occur. Because we have received God's infinite mercy, we are required to extend the same grace of forgiveness to others. If we fail to do so, God will remove His forgiveness, highlighting that the sins He has pardoned us for far outweigh any wrongdoing we may endure from others.
