WORK WITH ME HERE: https://gabe.detailinggrowth.com/podcastIn this episode of the Talkin' Paint podcast I sit down with Jeremy Harding from Nasiol USA to talk about what really matters when you choose a coating brand for your shop. We walk through his thirty plus years in the industry, why Nasiol chose to be a true manufacturer instead of only a label, and how that choice shapes the products installers use every day.I ask Jeremy the questions that owners are already thinking about. We talk about single layer coatings, real world durability, what makes an installation actually repeatable for a team, and how to judge a coating line without chasing hype. We also dig into values, how brands treat distributors and shops, and why your mindset as a student of the craft will decide where your business ends up.Chapters:00:22 - Concerns About Product Safety03:33 - The Journey into Detailing09:56 - Transitioning to New Opportunities13:45 - Introduction to Naziol and Its Market Strategy17:07 - Introduction to NASIO Products and Market Positioning29:29 - Understanding Coating Chemistry and User Experience31:07 - The Importance of User Experience in Product Engineering39:01 - Transitioning to Business Perspectives49:42 - Transitioning from Detailer to Distributor: Insights and Experiences55:55 - A Shift in Perspective on Industry Relationships01:01:17 - Navigating Training Challenges in the Industry01:04:46 - Approaching Success as a Student01:06:23 - Growth Through ExperienceShort list Companies MentionedNasiol USA: Nano coating manufacturer focused on safe, high performing products for installers.Detailing Growth: Full stack marketing and growth partner for detailing and film shops.Autoality: Supply partner that helps shops lower costs on towels and consumables.Meguiar's, 3M, RUPES: Brands that shaped Jeremy's experience in paint care and tools.Short list Websites Mentioneddetailinggrowth.comautoality.com

You Can't Paint Over Love by Bill Bennett

This week on The Rumors Are True Podcast, we're joined by Travis Bryant, a key figure in the underground alternative and emo scenes through his work with Terminal, Goodbye Tomorrow, and Alive in Wild Paint. Travis reflects on his early introduction to music, the inspiration behind picking up a guitar, and how discovering the DIY punk and emo community shaped both his sound and mindset. He talks about the formation of Terminal, the excitement and challenges of those early years, and how writing and performing music became a vital outlet during a formative time in his life.The conversation dives deeper into Travis's time with Goodbye Tomorrow and Alive in Wild Paint, exploring how those projects marked a creative evolution and a shift in musical direction. He shares insight into the songwriting and recording process, the differences in band dynamics, and what it was like pushing himself artistically while navigating the realities of touring, burnout, and change. Travis also opens up about the lessons learned from being in multiple bands and how each experience helped shape his approach to creativity.Travis and the host also discuss the broader music scene—then and now—including how the industry, touring culture, and fan connections have evolved since the early 2000s. He offers thoughtful perspective on longevity in music, balancing passion with real life, and what it means to look back on a body of work years later. Filled with nostalgia, honesty, and behind-the-scenes stories, this episode is a meaningful listen for longtime fans of the scene, musicians, and anyone curious about the realities of growing up through music.Produced by Wesley Hill @thebigwesArtwork by Jared Chase Bowser @jaredchasebowserMusic by Brian Jerin R.I.P.

Pennsylvania is seeing a surge in utility scams. The state's maternity care desert has just grown a bit more. Loud booms and flashes of light have been puzzling the residents of this township for years. Plus, the winner of “Paint the Plow.”

Eric McDonald built CHP Paint Co.'s culture on a simple principle: you can't out-produce bad culture. After experiencing severe burnout in 2021, he made drastic changes—4-day work weeks, comprehensive benefits, employee recognition programs, and a two-week December shutdown. The results? Productivity increased, profitability soared, and December's "planned loss" became the strategic investment that transformed his entire year. Eric shares how to budget for culture and why bottom-line thinking beats chasing top-line revenue every time.Today's Podcast is brought to you by Red Key Solutions

For the 42nd episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Dr. Matthew Affron, Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art at the Philadelphia Art Museum, about his book "Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100," published by the museum and distributed by Yale University Press.Their conversation traces Surrealism from its 1924 origins in André Breton's manifesto—which asked "how should we live?"—to its evolution as both an artistic movement and a philosophy of liberation. Affron shows how Surrealism emerged not as a singular style but as a set of strategies for merging dream and reality, expressed through automatism, collage, found objects, and juxtaposition—techniques designed to bypass conscious control and access the unconscious.They discuss how the movement's early lyrical explorations gave way in the 1930s to urgent responses to fascism's rise, with monsters and hybrids becoming visual metaphors for political evil. Affron examines the wartime diaspora that transformed Surrealism from a Parisian phenomenon into an international force, as artists fled to Mexico City and New York, drawing on indigenous North American imagery alongside European traditions.Affron emphasizes that Surrealist images are not transcriptions of dreams but invitations into unstable territory where thinking, desiring, and imagining intersect. He explains why these works reward openness to surprise over attempts to decode them, and how their techniques—now part of popular culture—keep Surrealism relevant for contemporary audiences.For anyone interested in modern art's avant-garde movements, the intersection of art and politics, or how creative communities adapt under pressure, this episode offers essential insights into a movement that continues to shape how we think about imagination and freedom.ABOUT THE AUTHORMatthew Affron is the Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art at the Philadelphia Art Museum. He holds a Ph.D. in art history from Yale University and has published extensively on early abstract art, Fernand Léger, and modern art's relationship to politics. His previous books include Paint the Revolution: Mexican Modernism, 1910–1950, The Essential Duchamp, and Inventing Abstraction, 1910-1925.ABOUT THE EXHIBITION"Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100" is on view at the Philadelphia Art Museum through February 16, 2026. The exhibition features approximately 200 works by more than 70 artists, with highlights including Joan Miró's Dog Barking at the Moon (1926), Salvador Dalí's Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War) (1936), and Dorothea Tanning's Birthday (1942). Philadelphia is the sole North American venue for this international centennial celebration.

A tiny Wisconsin window company grew from $500K to $5M by attacking private-equity competitors with bold identity-based radio ads highlighting honesty, pricing, and local ownership. Rich then used the same strategy for Bay State Bath—female-led, local, and anti-Wall-Street messaging—paired with OTT/TV spots featuring "Baby Richie." Results: record sales and a major PE competitor collapsing. Local identity beats corporate sameness.

News: The newest Disneyland documentary we are all waiting for has a release date. Disneyland Handcrafted will premiere on Disney+ and Disney YouTube on January 22nd. The film covers the creation of Disneyland with rare, first-hand archival footage leading up to the opening in July, 1955. Leslie Iwerks and her team searched through over 100 hours of raw material from Disneyland in its earliest days. - https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/disneyland-handcrafted-release-date-and-more-details/ The first part of the Disneyland Forward project has a permit, with work beginning soon. The permit is for a 3.2 million square foot, 8-level open parking structure with 302 EV charging spots. This is the first part that needs to be completed before the additional capacity can be built and opened with the rest of the project. The new structure should hold 6,000 vehicles and feature a rideshare area, and transit hub. Construction is predicted to begin after runDisney at the end of January, since the space is currently used to facilitate the event. - https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-files-permit-for-eastern-parking-structure/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioc6c8v6HIY At the milk stand in Galaxy's Edge, we have had blue milk, green milk, and now a new color - pink milk! Starting January 8th, the new variation will be available at the milk stand in Batuu. No official word on what flavor the drink will be, but it could be something like watermelon. - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2026/01/06/move-over-blue-milk-pink-milk-debuts-at-disney-this-week/ https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/pink-milk-star-wars-galaxys-edge-marvel-comics/ Walt Disney Imagineering is bringing a more and more common home process to the parks. Haddy, a 3D printing company, has partnered with Disney to create a boat that will be installed in The Jungle Cruise as a prop. The process from design to completion will be sped up with the 3D printing process, as opposed to the previous molding process that could take thousands of hours to get just right. The new 3D printing technique only takes 70 robot hours. - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/12/22/news-disney-uses-3d-printing-to-create-new-ride-elements/ As the holiday season winds down, the refurbishment calendar is heating up.

Funnel Down Defense Visit https://teachhoops.com/  for defensive system breakdowns, drill progressions, and practice plans that will help you install and master funnel down principles to transform your team's ability to protect the rim and defend ball screens. In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most effective defensive philosophies for high school basketball: funnel down defense, where perimeter defenders force ball handlers toward help and shot blockers rather than allowing penetration to weak side or baseline. This systematic approach prioritizes protecting the paint, eliminating layups, and forcing contested mid-range shots and outside jumpers—exactly the kind of shots high school players struggle to make consistently. We break down the core principles that make funnel down defense work: aggressive ball pressure with proper angles, baseline denial on the wings, hard hedging or showing on ball screens to force middle penetration, and active help-side rotations that arrive before the drive. You'll learn specific footwork and positioning techniques for on-ball defenders, the exact positioning for help defenders in the lane, communication systems that keep everyone connected, and how to recover and closeout when the ball is reversed. We also discuss common mistakes teams make when trying to implement funnel down concepts—like passive ball pressure that allows easy middle drives, late help that results in layups, or overhelping that creates wide-open threes. This episode provides detailed teaching progressions for installing funnel down defense: starting with individual defensive stance and angles, building to two-on-two shell situations where help concepts are introduced, progressing to full five-on-five team defense with proper rotations, and finally competing against live offense with ball screens and actions. We address how this defensive philosophy affects your big men's positioning, what kind of athletes you need to run it effectively, and adjustments you'll need to make against elite ball handlers or three-point shooting teams. Whether you're tired of giving up easy baskets in the paint or looking for a defensive identity that maximizes your shot blocker's impact, you'll gain a complete framework for building funnel down defense that protects the rim and forces opponents into low-percentage shots. funnel down defense, basketball defensive system, paint protection basketball, rim protection defense, ball screen defense, help defense basketball, defensive philosophy basketball, forcing middle defense, baseline denial basketball, hedging ball screens, defensive rotations basketball, high school defense coaching, team defense concepts, defensive angles basketball, help side defense, defensive positioning basketball, teaching team defense, defensive drill progressions, shell drill defense, closeout drills basketball, on-ball defense coaching, defensive communication basketball, protecting the paint, defensive schemes basketball, basketball defensive strategy, forcing contested shots, defensive footwork basketball, team defense installation, Wisconsin basketball defense, defensive system coaching SEO Keywords: Learn more about your ad choices.

If your year feels scattered, it's not because you lack discipline — it's because you're missing direction. One word can change that. In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into the transformative power of choosing a Word of Intention for a specific season of life and aligning it with your 4 Rocks. Instead of chasing yearly resolutions that fade by February, April makes the case for planning life in 12-week blocks — a system that creates clarity, focus, and momentum. Through personal stories and real-world examples, she shows how a single word can act as a filter for decisions, energy, and priorities — helping you live with intention instead of reacting on autopilot. Key Takeaways Words shape behavior, identity, and outcomes more than we realize. Choosing one Word of Intention aligned with your 4 Rocks increases focus and follow-through. Planning life in 12-week seasons is more effective than annual goal-setting. A defined "season" for your word keeps motivation high and prevents drift. Examples of powerful words include: Energy, Connection, Joy, Growth, Fearless, Strength. Visibility matters — writing your word where you'll see it daily reinforces action. How to Use Your Word of Intention April walks listeners through simple, actionable steps: Choose a word aligned with your current season and priorities. Define what that word looks like in action. Anchor it to a 12-week timeframe. Paint your world with it — notes, screens, journals, reminders. Make daily decisions that reflect that word. She closes by challenging listeners to imagine how their next 12 weeks would look if they truly lived their word, sharing examples like Fearless, Enthusiasm, Present, and Joy.

Welcome back to Bri Books — the podcast that educates, encourages, and inspires by exploring ideas both on and off the page. Today's episode is about winter lixfestyle favorites: the soft hobbies, rituals, and everyday comforts that carried me through 2025 and that I'm intentionally bringing with me into 2026. You've heard a lot about the "soft life" and the "soft girl era." I want to offer a reframing: your grandmother may be the softest woman you know. Softness isn't new. It's inherited. It's practiced. It's slow. If you're new to the show, leave a review of Bri Books on Apple Podcasts, and listen to Bri Books on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Please tell me where you're traveling to by using #bribooks on Instagram and subscribe to the Bri Books newsletter at bribookspod.com/newsletter.  This episode isn't about hustle or optimization. It's about winter evenings, quiet joy, and choosing process over productivity. Last winter, I noticed myself reaching less for outcomes and more for ways of being — warmth, texture, ritual, and time that felt expansive rather than efficient. These are the lifestyle favorites that came out of that season and are staying with me. 1. Embroidery Embroidery is the ultimate soft hobby. It's tactile, forgiving, and slow in the best way. You can pick it up for ten minutes or lose an entire evening to it. Best of all, you always have something to show for your time: a few stitches, a pattern emerging, a garment mended. It requires no screens, very little space, and pairs beautifully with audiobooks, podcasts, or quiet TV. On dark winter nights, embroidery feels deeply grounding. 2. Popcorn From the Cob This was a surprise favorite of 2025. Popping kernels directly off a dried corn cob feels old-fashioned and ceremonial. It turns a snack into an event. Pop it on the stove, finish with butter and flaky salt, and eat while reading or watching snow fall. It's nostalgic, humbling, and cozy: and it happens fast enough that it asks for your full attention. 3. Candle Making & Light as Ritual I've been making candles for years, but winter 2025 made it a true ritual. Choosing the scent, wax, and vessel is an act of intention. I make candles in batches early in the season and burn them slowly throughout winter so my home smells familiar and grounding. In long, dark months, light matters. So start making your candles. 4. Gardening (Even in Winter) Gardening doesn't stop in winter; it changes form. Winter gardening looks like planning, seed sorting, journaling, and tending indoor plants. It's a reminder that growth doesn't always look active. Winter is when I reflect on what I want to grow — literally and metaphorically — in the year ahead. 5. A New Duvet from Culver One of my most meaningful upgrades of 2025 was investing in better sleep. A Cultiver linen duvet changed how winter nights felt. Linen regulates temperature beautifully, feels lived-in, and makes your bed feel like a destination. When nights are long, rest should feel intentional. 6. A Beautiful Cup from Jinen This may sound small, but it isn't. A really good cup changes how you experience mornings. Texture matters. Weight matters. A ceramic or natural-finish cup slows you down and makes tea or coffee feel ceremonial. Winter mornings deserve softness. This cup from Jinen porcelain Hasami cup has become my absolute favorite porcelain cup for everyday use. 7. Instant Pot (and Instant Pot Culture) In 2025, I leaned into comfort cooking: soups, stews, beans, and broths. The Instant Pot makes nourishment accessible without urgency. Batch cooking on Sundays meant weekday dinners felt cared for instead of chaotic. 8. Farmers Markets (Even in Winter) Winter farmers markets are quieter, more intentional, and deeply communal. Root vegetables, bread, eggs, preserves. Shopping local in winter feels like an act of care — a reminder that provision exists in every season, just in different forms. 9. Painting Painting returned to my life without pressure to be good. Winter painting is about mood, texture, and emotion — not outcome. Paint in low light. Let it be messy. Let it exist just for you. 10. New Boots & a New Coat A good pair of winter boots grounds you — literally. Practical, wearable winter clothing makes cold weather feel intentional instead of inconvenient. Winter style should support your life, not complicate it. These favorites aren't about consumption. They're about attention. Soft hobbies teach us to stay. Winter rituals remind us we're allowed to move slowly. As we head into 2026, I'm choosing warmth, intention, and creativity — and leaving urgency behind.   If you're new to the show, leave a review of Bri Books on Apple Podcasts, and listen to Bri Books on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Please tell me where you're traveling to by using #bribooks on Instagram and subscribe to the Bri Books newsletter at bribookspod.com/newsletter.

How can abstraction carry emotion, identity, and lived experience?In this episode of About Art, Heidi Zuckerman speaks with painter Katherine Bradford, whose luminous work bridges the personal, mythic, and communal. Bradford moved from Maine to New York in the 1980s as a single mother raising school-age twins and became part of the first wave of artists to shape the Williamsburg art community. After more than a decade navigating the Manhattan gallery world, her work has since been recognized internationally and is held in major museum collections.Their conversation spans Bradford's five-decade painting career, abstraction and figuration, color and process, studio practice, and the challenge of representing human emotion. They also discuss community, motherhood, the evolving art world, and why creativity remains fundamental to how we understand ourselves and one another.This is a conversation about painting as a lifelong practice—and art as a deeply human act.
