Send us a textThis week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am proud to welcome Josh Christina, Recording Artist, scene-stealing, piano-wielding frontman, and veteran headliner of several cruise lines. Listeners know I am as passionate about music and comedy as I am about cruising so when I get a chance to have a conversation with someone who has performed on cruise ships, I am in my glory. Josh Christina is a dynamic and passionate musician whose love for piano rock has taken him on an incredible journey. His musical story began at the age of 7, inspired by the iconic sounds of Elvis Presley in Disney's Lilo & Stitch. It wasn't until age 15, after seeing the Broadway show Million Dollar Quartet and discovering the electrifying Jerry Lee Lewis, that Josh began playing piano, igniting his path as a pianist and performer. Josh's talents caught the attention of Grammy-nominated producer Kent Wells, who has worked with legends like Dolly Parton and Reba McIntire. Kent describes Josh as “such an old soul,” praising the way “the music just pours out of him.” This connection led to Josh recording in Nashville, creating music that resonates with the soul of classic rock and boogie-woogie. His single “Kayla Ann” topped several independent radio charts, and Josh's album Instincts (recorded at the historic Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, TN) was a testament to his mastery. Produced by Josh and Grammy-winning pianist Jon Carroll, Instincts received high praise, with Jon calling Josh a performer who “does it real well and means every note.” Josh's high-energy performances have taken him across the globe, including a UK tour where he graced the stage of Ireland's Late Late Show. He's headlined major cruise lines, bringing his piano rock show to fans of all ages worldwide. He's also shared the stage with some of the world's top boogie-woogie and rock ‘n' roll pianists, earning admiration from both peers and fans for keeping the genre alive. His latest album, UFO's Over Phoenix, recorded live at Stages Music and Arts in Maryland, has already captured attention for its unique sound. Daryl Davis, former bandleader and pianist for Chuck Berry, describes the album as striking “the perfect balance of a scent of the familiar while being creatively and refreshingly new.” Josh Christina's infectious energy, undeniable talent, and deep respect for rock and roll history have earned him a dedicated following. His music is a celebration of the past, present, and future of piano rock.Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

Captivating audiences since his teenage years, Eric Travers has solidified his status as a seasoned musician in the vibrant Asheville music scene. Hailing from the mountains of Black Mountain, NC, Travers first made his mark as the heartbeat behind an acclaimed Rock n Roll, Jam Band, Travers Brothership, which he co-founded with his brother Kyle at just 13 years old. Over the past 15+ years, the group has amassed an impressive catalog of 35+ published tracks and extensive touring experience. Now 31, Travers has reached new heights in 2024 with the release of his latest single, "Dead End Street," and his new role as Owner and CEO of the All Aboard Records label. Drawing from his diverse musical background in rock, Americana, and blues, Travers' emotive performances and melodic sensibilities have earned him a dedicated following across Western North Carolina and beyond, cementing his role in the local music scene. With the launch of his latest project, the Eric Travers Band, this versatile multi-instrumentalist is primed to take his artistry to thrilling new levels.1. Background and Music CareerHow did you get started in music? What inspired you to pursue it as a career?My father was a career musician who always had instruments and fellow musicians around. My first "real" drumset was gifted to me when I was 8-9 years old. It became a dream of mine when I received praise and applause from my cousins playing air guitar at the age of 3 and 4. I was inspired to start a career in music because I made enough money to barely get by as a musician and this was my end goal. All or none. I sought out a living and a labor of love.When did you first start performing and touring?My first performance was for my school, performing an Elvis Christmas song with my twin brother and father. Performing regularly started when I was 15, with my brother, playing shows from Brevard, NC all the way to Marion, NC as "Travers Brothers Band / Caution Tape", a four piece Rock n' Roll outfit with a 2010, 10 track LP. Our bandmate's father helped us with transportation for 3 years. Touring started after my time freed up, at the age of 17. (When we could drive). I made the choice to leave college for the career in music. Now the band was performing for only $200 every Thursday in Greensboro, NC. A 2 1/2 hour drive from our hometown, Black Mountain, NC.How would you describe your musical style, and how has it evolved over time?My music style is American roots music. When I was 11-13 my band "The Predatorz" played strictly Rock n' Roll like Jimi Hendrix and ZZ Top. I started playing piano and acoustic guitar at this time which was strictly music by The Beatles. "Caution Tape--> Travers Brothers Band" then came along at 14-17. And the Rock n Roll became more jam band oriented with extended guitar solos influenced by The Allman Brothers Band. Then, groove oriented funk music became a thing.My brother and I founded a very successful touring band at the age of 18 called Travers Brothership. In 2012 our debut release was very progressive, soulful, funk and rock group. For the next 4 years we toured with 7 members performing what we called "funkadelic" music. Our 3 piece horn (brass) section helped color this genre.In 2016 the lineup changed back to the original 4 members of the band including my twin brother. We had no choice but to return to a jammy, Rock n' Roll vibe to keep audiences on their toes. We had to stick to our guns and give the audience a powerful sound to make up for 3 lost players in the band.2. The Traveling ExperienceWhat is the most exciting part about traveling for your music?The most exciting part is seeing landmarks, going to new places, seeing national parks and observing the different arts and cultures.How do you typically prepare for a tour? Does your preparation change depending on where you're performing?When preparing for tour I have to make sure my drumset is ready for performance. All items must be accounted for in our vehicle and/or trailer. In the beginning I required everyone to have foodstamps. We got by with very little. When we were traveling for longer lengths of time we brought more clothes and made sure our vehicle was in proper condition. Eating nutriously required extra packing which was always tough because everyone's priorities are different. Our preparation will change if we are traveling further, flying or if we need our clothes to be nicer. Dressing accordingly is just one step "above" the audience - say, if the audience has T-shirts, we wear button downs.How do you stay grounded and connected to home while you're on the road?Staying connected to home always came with forfeiting home for the road. My dog traveled with me everywhere. The road and music were my home and a way of life.Have you ever had a surprising or unexpected cultural experience while performing in a different country or city?New Orleans, LA was a culture shock. The large but small music community was humbling. The experience of spending time in Hamburg, Germany was unexpected because some tour dates were canceled. I spent 1 week here. This atmosphere was very interesting and intimidating. 3. Life on the RoadCan you walk us through a typical day on the road for you? What's the routine like?Our road life followed a minimalist lifestyle. The band had to be weekend warriors. Days on the road started by waking up in someone else's house either on the floor or a random bed. We would normally sleep in as late as possible. We would take turns showering and get on the road asap. Play time was hard because a 4 person vote to do something is really annoying. In the van we mainly slept. There are a lot of road rules. We'd show up at a show, perform and hopefully rely on night life to prepare us for a place to crash. Hotels were hardly an option until we became established enough for a living wage. The routine followed Day of Show instructions but life on the road followed lifestyle. We all had our own lifestyle. I am epileptic so staying healthy was my main goal.What are some of the most challenging aspects of life as a touring musician?Musicians don't get paid much. This is a challenge and hard to keep a band together because of this. When keeping track of your tour dates you can see that you've played 300 shows but only once in a certain market, so they're not paying you. The hardest part is the time spent between the stage and the bus. The culture, nightlife and fun is the biggest challenge. You would believe that not getting paid is worth it, for site seeing and a good time; however, all time must be spent with comradery and focus.How do you manage the physical and mental toll of constant travel, late nights, and performing?Our band couldn't manage the physical and mental toll. We broke up after 10 years due to a mental health crisis. Alcohol was introduced to us whenever we were 14 and 15. Everyone wants to party with the artist. If you don't become part of the culture you're not doing your job. Or are you? My job was to network and find our next opportunity until and we were more established. I wrecked two vans on tour having a seizure, due to poor health. Our backs started to hurt. We didn't take care of ourselves or know how to. It can be a really hard life and managing everything is very challenging.4. Performing to Different AudiencesWhat's it like performing in new cities or countries where the audience may not know your music?The band and I stick to our guns. When you're playing original music confidently with passion and love, everyone reacts the same way. We would change our set for different audiences, though. Europe liked blues and rock. Frat parties liked dance music. Local bars liked cover songs.How do you adapt your performance for different audiences and cultures?I personally liked changing outfits and/or suggesting different songs. Say, in the south we would cover an Allman Brothers Song or play my country influenced original. Or, in a Latin culture like Spain we would cover Santana.Do you notice any commonalities in the energy or reaction of audiences around the world, or does it vary a lot?There are a few different types of shows and audiences: one is the crowd that is there for the culture, and not the music, while another is strictly listening, and then a fully supported original crowd that is mainly family/friends. A festival and jam band community always followed us. Our crowds can always mingle. Our "family". Music is a universal language. All in all our band found it's way in to a "jam band" grateful dead scene.5. Connection with FansHow do you build a connection with your fans when you're on the road?Building connection comes with personal experience or online presence. Do you have any memorable stories about a fan encounter or a meaningful moment with someone in the crowd?I remember performing on stage in front of the biggest crowd I have ever played in front of and locking eyes with my dad, who was in "awe". Also, moments in which I've inspired other musicians to pursue a career. I remember a time setting up a fans drumset for his son.What role do social media and online engagement play in connecting with your audience while traveling?These play the largest roles. Keeping fans interested can be challenging. There's only so much you can do. If you're not a strong personality then you will struggle in this business.6. Challenges of TouringWhat has been one of your biggest challenges while touring, and how did you overcome it?Getting along and my seizures. Mental health is the biggest challenge for every musician. Saying no to drugs and alcohol.Have you ever had a tour or performance go completely wrong? How did you handle it?Things have gone completely wrong before. Sometimes, admitting defeat is the best option if things are failing. But at the end of the day, if the show must go on, then it must go on. You can follow Eric on instagram @allaboardrecords and Facebook, and find his music on Apple Music, Spotify, or anywhere you like to stream!!

J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. Eddie Speed, what is the BIGGEST RISK?   Eddie Speed Losing my money and losing my money means that I bought a note and I don't get enough recovery to go pay off my investment and still make a yield. So that could be that that could relate to non performing notes. Performing notes, it does everything down the line. It's like at the end of the day. That is why I like buying first mortgages with a cushion between what the collateral is worth and what I invested in the note. And that's the simplest form to say at the end of the day. That's my safety net, that cushion between what the collateral is worth and what my investment is in that note. noteschool.com/crepn https://noteschool.com/

Kiran Ahluwalia (pronounced KIR-un all-oo-WAHL-iya) is making waves with her innovative sound, melding Indian vocal traditions with influences as varied as Malian blues, rock, and jazz. Kiran Ahluwalia joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about her music and upcoming performance at the Levitt Amp Galva Music Festival on June 22, 2025. Raised in Canada, Ahluwalia leads a dynamic six-piece band, consisting of electric guitar, accordion, organ, tabla, bass, and drum kit, that brings her artistic vision to life. Her latest album, titled "Comfort Food," doesn't just explore musical boundaries—it dives into pressing social issues, earning widespread praise from critics. As a two-time Juno Award winner, Ahluwalia continues to expand her global reach, inviting listeners into a rich tapestry of sounds and stories rooted in her diverse musical journey. Ahluwalia and her band will take the stage at 7:15 PM. Kiran Ahluwalia stands as an influential force in the world of contemporary global music. Drawing from Sufi, Qawalli, Ghazal, and Punjabi folk traditions, she crafts a vibrant and boundary-crossing sound, blending Indian classical roots with elements of blues, jazz, and R&B. Her 6-piece ensemble features electric guitar, accordion, tabla, and more, offering a rich, dynamic backdrop to reflective and socially conscious songs. Ahluwalia's latest album, "Comfort Food," includes collaborations with international artists and challenges rising Hindu fundamentalism and nationalism. Her achievements include two Juno Awards and the recent Canadian Folk Music Award for ‘Pushing Boundaries.' “When I was growing up in India, there were concerts that people from all over would crowd into. These concerts featured a repertoire, language and content that was both demanding and beyond the experience of a child. I was, however, entranced by the sound and feel of the music, even from an early age. My father would play tapes of Indian music for me and we would also listen to Bollywood on the radio,” Ahluwalia recalls. “So when a song came on that I wanted to learn, my mother would quickly write down the lyrics for me and I would sing along to learn the melody."

https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/crazyjames/bthdYoutubeInstagramBioLUTON, UK – June 2025 — British rapper Crazy James returns with his latest sonicfirestorm, “BTHD,” a track that fuses raw emotion, stunning lyrical agility, and head-nodding production into one unforgettable ride. With lush piano flourishes and a beatthat's as fresh as it is infectious, “BTHD” showcases Crazy James at the height of hisartistry—delivering a flow so passionate and magnetic, it's impossible not to feel it.“BTHD” stands for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Disorder—a title as intriguing as the recorditself. “I've always been a massive fan of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony,” James explains.“They're a big reason I started rapping. This song is really an homage to them and theirmelodic sound.” While the Cleveland legends never had the same breakout fame in theUK as in the States, Crazy James makes it clear that their influence runs deep in hisDNA.From the first piano note to the final verse, “BTHD” radiates energy and intent. Theproduction strikes a balance between classic and current, evoking nostalgia whilesounding distinctly 2025. James' delivery is sharp, emotionally charged, and beautifullydynamic, with verses that dance between reflective storytelling and fast-pacedwordplay. “When I heard the beat,” he recalls, “I had the melody in my head straightaway—singing it in the shower, humming it constantly. Even if it was gibberish, I had toget it down. Then I started shaping it into something real.”Fans of anime will find something extra to love in “BTHD” too, with James sneaking inreferences to Dragon Ball Z—a nod to his love of animation and layered lyricism. “I liketo play with words,” he says. “People always say I'm hard to categorize—but that's thepoint. There's no sound for me. I just create what's true.”The single is part of a larger creative vision that includes his forthcoming LP, featuringprevious releases like “Whip It,” “Levels,” “Killer Instincts,” and “Show Me”—many ofwhich have already caught the attention of BBC Introducing. “Everything on the album isintentional,” James says. “You won't skip a single track.”The new music video reflects that same cinematic ambition. It intertwines visuals forboth “BTHD” and “Killer Instincts,” carrying on a narrative thread started in the “Levels”video. “The goal was to make the visuals feel like a continuous story,” James shares.“There's even a teaser for the next single, ‘Higher Learning in Berlin.' We're planning tofilm in Berlin later this year.”What sets Crazy James apart isn't just his sound—it's the spirit behind it. Drawing on achildhood spent across Ghana, Belgium, Congo, Saudi Arabia, and the UK, Jameschannels a multicultural perspective into music that's rich with soul, struggle, andhonesty. Whether he's reflecting on mental health, fatherhood, or artistic integrity, hedoes so with an unshakable authenticity.“Performing live is hard,” he admits. “I give all my energy. But it's worth it. I rap toexpress what's inside me—and to let people know they're not alone.”Outside the studio and stage, James juggles a full-time job and fatherhood. “It's tough,”he says. “But I want to leave something behind—not just for my kids, but for the world.”With “BTHD,” Crazy James proves he's not just rapping—he's building a legacy.“Thank you for the support,” he says to fans. “Please keep sharing.

Queen of the stage, Alison Quigan is a mainstay in New Zealand's performing arts scene. You may know her best as Yvonne Jeffries, Shortland Street's maternally-minded receptionist, or from one of her many theatre productions, as Quigan has spent her career creating stories that portray the real lives of Kiwis on stage. She's back to her theatrical ways, directing a brand-new production by Sir Roger Hall, ‘End of Summer Time'. It's the story of retired cow cocky Dickie Hart and his wife Glenda's move to Auckland, a decision Dickie thinks is the beginning of the end. Quigan told Jack Tame that Hall's a great observationist, and it's his understanding of his audience that allows them to connect with his works. “He's been telling the story of this particular generation for 50 years, and he is very loyal to them and they are very loyal to him.” She started directing his plays in the late 80's when she took over Centre Point Theatre in Palmerston North, but as a solo show, this one is a little bit more complex than normal. “You're actually trying to create all the other characters with the actor, and obviously with the writer, and so it's a case of making sure that he's, he can get from A to B to C to D, to all of that, so he can get through to the end of the play,” Quigan explained. “So there's the practical part of understanding how a solo show works, but also reassuring and just loving what this other person can bring to the play.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm so excited to welcome Jake Brownstein to Roadcase this week!! Jake plays shredding guitar for the band Eggy, which has been lighting up stages, and turning on fans with their unique brand of what I like to call “collaborative rock.”  Jake is a super thoughtful and humble artist, who seeks to find joy in the moment, and he talks to me about how being vulnerable and seeking to be true to oneself is the key to living authentically — in both the arts and in one's personal life. Together, we explore the origins of the band, and go deep into self-exploration and what it means to really make a difference in people's lives with music. This is a special interview with a unique artist, and Jake really brings it all for this amazing conversation.Show notes:For tour dates and more info on The Wood Brothers, click hereYou can find the book "Songwriters on Songwriting" here on Amazon-------------------------------Episode Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg04:20 Introduction to Eggy and Their Journey07:19 The Importance of Long-Lasting Relationships in Music10:18 Growing Up Together: The Band's Origins13:21 The Evolution of Eggy: From High School to Professional16:29 The Role of Covers in Eggy's Music19:31 The Business of Music: Balancing Passion and Professionalism22:09 Collaborative Spirit: The Dynamics of Playing Together25:23 Performing with Friends: The Connection with Dogs28:20 Playing Jerry Garcia's Guitar: A Special Experience39:24 Finding Your Voice Through Music41:37 The Evolution of Waiting Game44:09 Embracing Vulnerability in Performance46:37 The Pressure of Legacy and Life's Work53:10 Connecting with Fans and Community01:00:10 Honoring a Friend Through Music01:05:37 The Art of Jamming and Live Performance01:14:40 The Journey Ahead for Eggy01:14:34 Episode Outro and Wrap-up with Host Josh Rosenberg--------------------------------------------Follow Roadcase on Instagram here:  @RoadcasepodFor more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

There is a book called Intent to Live that distills down Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, Bobby Lewis, and Stanislavski. The great teachers at the Group Theatre believed that the method needed to be altered to be constructive rather than destructive to artists.David Milch's mind is so singular because he uses language in a way that defines character. That's what all good writers do: use language to get to the heart of something. He would use malapropisms to make up words, and Milch loved playing with that. As someone who played the love interest of such a unique character as Andy Sipowicz, I found it fascinating.Through Sylvia and David Milch's understanding, his wife humanized him. Sipowicz was portrayed as an addict, a very flawed human who had many addictions. David Milch is now suffering from Alzheimer's, so we won't get his words again. However, the words that he has to offer are timeless because he studied Robert Penn Warren and had many mentors throughout his vast literary education. That is key. I love speaking Noël Coward's words. As a bon vivant, he wrote musically, to charm us and amuse us. So going and reading Noël Coward is important for actors to learn those cadences and the musicality of a certain era. Of course, Shakespeare comes to mind. I also think of the female playwrights who delight me now, whether it's Caryl Churchill. She has that singular mind and plays with gender so well, challenging gender norms. Seeing ‘Cloud Nine' when I was in college blew my mind open because men were playing women and women were playing men. Of course, Shakespeare was doing it too, but her work felt more intimate; it was in a small theater. That's another thing I encourage actors and audiences to do: go see things in small theaters. See it up close because that will excite you and help you learn the craft.”Sharon Lawrence is an acclaimed actress best known for her Emmy-nominated, SAG Award-winning role as ADA Sylvia Costas on NYPD Blue.

Dive into a compelling discussion of The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 5 as hosts Dan and Charles unpeel layers of hypocrisy, unexpected revelations, and the fascinating ways characters (and people) perform. They explore the episode's subtle genius and its uncomfortable truths about privilege, values, and human behavior.In This Episode:The Unsung Role of the 'Boring' Ladies: Charles acknowledges feeling "bad for how bored I'm getting of the three ladies and their story". Dan, however, highlights their "really important" narrative function, explaining that White included them as a "normal level" to contrast with the "extreme" behaviors in the series. Dan shares how show creator Mike White's inspiration for their dynamic came from observing real-life vacationers gossiping, and Charles then states that this type of gossiping behavior "is not an exclusive behavior to ladies either".Full Moon Festival: A Tale of Two Reactions: The hosts contrast their perceptions of the Full Moon Festival. Charles expresses that it "looks so miserable to me" and he'd "be locked in my hotel room" if he were there. Dan, conversely, wishes his past Times Square New Year's Eve experience "was that much fun" as the festival appeared. Dan then recounts his own "nightmare" experience at Times Square as a college student, detailing issues with crowds, closed businesses, and the lack of bathrooms. Charles shares his strategic approach to crowds at Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, prioritizing restroom access, leading to a consensus on the value of VIP experiences.The Ratliff Family Dynamics: A Study in Fragility:Saxon's "Secret of Life": The discussion heavily focuses on the Ratliff family. Dan and Charles unpack Saxon's unsettling philosophy that "people are just waiting to be used". Dan offers a more charitable, albeit stretched, interpretation of Saxon's comment, linking it to Piper's quest for purpose at the meditation center. Charles calls this a "charitable interpretation" that is "over the top".Hypocrisy and Peer Pressure: Charles highlights Saxon's hypocrisy, noting his judgmental stance on MDMA despite being a perpetual Adderall user. Both hosts share personal insights into peer pressure. Dan admits to sometimes giving in to friends' pushes despite later resentment. Charles boasts of resisting social influence, even threatening to "ruin the night for everybody else" before doing something he didn't want to do.The Sibling Kiss & Family Taboos: They analyze the shocking sibling kiss between Lachlan and Saxon, noting Chloe as the instigator. Dan links this behavior to the family's awkward history with sex, describing it as "taboo" and "handled awkwardly". Charles expresses disbelief at crossing such boundaries, even under the influence of drugs.Parental Values & Modeling Behavior: Charles criticizes the parents' failure to instill strong values, emphasizing that children "model what you do, not what you tell them". Dan points out that kids often model behavior from online sources, such as YouTubers.Timothy's Descent and Gaitok's Dilemma: The hosts delve into Timothy's alarming spiral into suicidal ideation after stealing a gun. Charles critiques Gaitok's decision to delay immediate action, viewing it as a selfish choice to protect his job over a pending emergency. They discuss the inadequacy of Victoria's attempts to comfort Timothy by highlighting his privilege, agreeing that such responses miss the point when someone is distressed.Rick and Frank: Over-Sharing, Empathy, and Performance: Charles shares a compelling personal anecdote about meeting former addicts in Bible college who traded old addictions for a new one: constantly discussing their past.

“That transformation was key to my next step as an artist, to knowing that's what acting is. It isn't just posing; it isn't just being a version of yourself in a way that was free.

There is a book called Intent to Live that distills down Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, Bobby Lewis, and Stanislavski. The great teachers at the Group Theatre believed that the method needed to be altered to be constructive rather than destructive to artists.David Milch's mind is so singular because he uses language in a way that defines character. That's what all good writers do: use language to get to the heart of something. He would use malapropisms to make up words, and Milch loved playing with that. As someone who played the love interest of such a unique character as Andy Sipowicz, I found it fascinating.Through Sylvia and David Milch's understanding, his wife humanized him. Sipowicz was portrayed as an addict, a very flawed human who had many addictions. David Milch is now suffering from Alzheimer's, so we won't get his words again. However, the words that he has to offer are timeless because he studied Robert Penn Warren and had many mentors throughout his vast literary education. That is key. I love speaking Noël Coward's words. As a bon vivant, he wrote musically, to charm us and amuse us. So going and reading Noël Coward is important for actors to learn those cadences and the musicality of a certain era. Of course, Shakespeare comes to mind.

Send us a textEpisode 138- Sandra St. Victor, an American singer-songwriter, is celebrated for her powerful voice and genre-defying artistry. Born Sandra Kay Matthews on May 28, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, she nurtured her musical talents at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, an institution that also nurtured artists like Erykah Badu, Roy Hargrove, Norah Jones, and Edie Brickell. She furthered her studies with scholarships to Kansas University and Bishop College in Dallas but ultimately chose to learn through experience, joining a local band led by jazz guitarist Zachary Breaux and embarking on tours across Texas and Louisiana.In the early 1980s, St. Victor relocated to New York City, where she joined Roy Ayers' touring band, Ubiquity. Her dynamic performances caught the attention of Chaka Khan, leading to a tour with Khan throughout the 1980s. She also toured with Freddie Jackson and Glenn Jones and became a sought-after session vocalist, collaborating with artists like Lisa Fischer, Cindy Mizelle, Audrey Wheeler, Brenda White King, Tawatha Agee, and Curtis King. Her versatility and distinctive voice made her a prominent figure in the New York music scene.St. Victor, the lead singer of The Family Stand, a trio formed in the late 1980s with Peter Lord Moreland and Vernon Jeffrey Smith, achieved international success. Their hit song “Ghetto Heaven” reached #10 on the UK Singles Chart in 1990 and was remixed by Nellee Hooper and Jazzy B of Soul II Soul. The group also contributed to Paula Abdul's album Spellbound.In 1993, St. Victor embarked on a solo career and recorded the album Sanctuary for Elektra Records, though it remained unreleased.

The New Visibility Strategy That Doesn't Require Hustling, Performing, Or Pretending Let's be honest—social media can feel like a never-ending hamster wheel, and trying to “beat the algorithm” is exhausting.

This conversation lit me up because Susie has built a multi-million dollar business mostly on evergreen content—90% of it!—and mainstream media has been a huge driver of her success.

This visibility brings people straight to your world. 3️⃣ Your Story Is Your Superpower—Even If You're Still In The Messy MiddleThe media loves real.

Would you still go through with surgery if you knew what really happened behind the scenes?In Part 2 of our most jaw-dropping series yet, Dr. Rady Rahban is once again joined by Paula, a seasoned OR nurse turned nurse practitioner, to continue exposing the shocking realities taking place in some of the most prestigious operating rooms in Beverly Hills. From false pregnancy tests being ignored… to untrained staff administering meds… to surgeons leaving the OR mid-procedure—this episode is not fiction. It's Paula's real-life experience, and it will make you think twice about who you're trusting with your body and your life. We unpack the dark truth about how cutting corners in plastic surgery is often about one thing: money. And while the glamor of board certification and big social media followings may lure you in, what happens after you go under is what matters most. This is not about fear. It's about being informed.

Episode OverviewIn this insightful solo episode of The Light Inside, host Jeffrey Besecker explores the psychological, social, and neurological dimensions of identity through the lens of sub-personalities and adaptive behavior.For therapists, coaches, and mental health professionals, this episode offers a nuanced view of how our inner cast of characters shapes what we call “the self,” and how these performative roles can either limit or liberate us, depending on how we relate to them.Whether you support clients on their path to self-integration or are exploring your own evolving sense of identity, this episode delivers practical insights rooted in neuroscience, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic psychology.Core Chapters & Themes1. All Behavior is PerformativeA look at how all human behavior functions as performance—and why this is not a flaw but a key adaptive trait.2. The Neuroscience of Performing the SelfExploring how brain structures like the medial prefrontal cortex and temporoparietal junction help us socially adapt, empathize, and regulate emotion.3. Neural Rigidity and Authoritarian DriftExamining how psychological rigidity, trauma, and social fear drive hierarchical thinking, identity fixation, and decreased empathy.4. Subpersonalities: The Internal Cast of CharactersA deep dive into IFS theory and how distinct internal parts guide behavior, perception, and relational dynamics.5. Josh & Marta: A Story of Social PerceptionAn illustrative narrative highlighting how inner integration—or lack of it—shapes interpersonal judgment and influence.6. Why We Secretly Hope Others Are StrugglingUnpacking the psychology behind social comparison, curated vulnerability, and how we seek safety through shared imperfection.7. From Judgment to Curiosity: Coachable TakeawaysPractical strategies for identifying and integrating sub-personalities to foster greater self-awareness, adaptability, and authentic connection.Three Key Takeaways for Therapeutic ProfessionalsSub-personalities shape social identityInternal Family Systems offers a valuable framework for helping clients recognize and compassionately engage with their internal parts.Authenticity is contextual, not fixedOur concept of a "real self" is often performative and fluid. Recognizing this allows for more empathetic and flexible therapeutic work.Psychological safety arises from integrationBy supporting clients in building inner coherence rather than suppressing parts of themselves, we foster deeper healing and more adaptive engagement with life.Who This Episode Is ForTherapists and coachesSomatic and embodiment practitionersMental health professionals exploring ego developmentStudents and researchers of behavioral scienceAnyone on a path toward personal integration and self-leadershipStay ConnectedIf this episode brought insight or sparked meaningful reflection, consider subscribing to The Light Inside on your preferred podcast platform and sharing it with your community.Continue the conversation with us:Instagram: @thelightinsidepodcastLinkedIn: The Light Inside with Jeffrey BeseckerFacebook: The Light Inside CommunitySubscribe on All Major Podcast PlatformsAvailable wherever you listen:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsAmazon MusiciHeartRadioPocket CastsTuneInStitcherOvercastPodchaserThank you for joining us in this exploration of human behavior, identity, and transformation.
