My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Kim Sorrelle, author of the book Love Is. Kim Sorrelle is a writer, speaker, entrepreneur, and director of a humanitarian organization. She is the author of two books, "Cry Until You Laugh" which details her journey through cancer, and "Love Is" which chronicles her year-long experiment to discover the true meaning of love. Kim is passionate about people and loves to travel to new places and meet new faces. She has five children and eleven grandchildren whom she adores and believes will one day make a positive impact on the world. Kim is committed to living a life of love and is determined to make a difference in the lives of those around her.   In my book review, I stated Love Is is a beautiful memoir exploring the concept of Christ-like love. She uses 1 Corinthians 13 as a guide and spends an entire year trying to love as Jesus would love. What a gift she's given all who read her words - a way to think about loving others that goes beyond words and hits squarely on actions. And not just any actions, but actions that truly depict love for another.   Love is patient, kind, does not envy, does not boast, is not proud, does not dishonor others, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, does not keep a record of wrongs, does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth, always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres - it never fails. Kim learned that such love isn't easy to live - even when your focus is on just one phrase. I loved how honest she was - sometimes that she believed it would be easy and was wrong, and often that she knew it would be hard and it was harder than she imagined.   Without a doubt, this book has me thinking - and re-thinking - about love, how I show it to others, and how I can make changes to live more fully the love described in 1 Corinthians 13.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Kim Sorrelle Website: https://www.kimsorrelle.com/ FB: @Kim Sorrelle IG: @kimsorrelle LinkedIn: @Kim Sorrelle   Purchase Love Is on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4q1IStf Ebook: https://amzn.to/4iOeJev   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Joseph J Fontenot, author of the book Sons of the Arghandab. Joseph “Fonty” Fontenot is a combat veteran who served 20 years in the US Army and retired as a First Sergeant, with combat deployments to Abu Ghraib, Iraq, and the Arghandab River Valley, Afghanistan. Before enlisting in the army, he was a successful musician who gave up his career to serve during the global war on terror. After his year in Afghanistan, he was a Drill Sergeant and won Soldier of the year in 2015. He subsequently suffered multiple career-ending injuries and, despite several years in the warrior transition unit, chose to return to the 101st airborne division. Fontenot earned a bachelor's degree in forensic psychology from Purdue Global University, and recently earned a certification as a Veteran Service Officer or VSO, to be able to continue helping veterans potentially with the VA.   In my book review, I stated Sons of the Arghandab is a memoir about his time in Afghanistan. This was not an easy read because conditions in the Arghandab Valley during 2010-2011 were anything but easy. From the temperatures, to the living quarters, to enemy fire, to losing buddies day in and day out ... I can't begin to comprehend what Joseph and his team went through. However, his book will help you get a better understanding of what our military endured and what they continue to endure now that they are back home.   By the end of the narrative, you will feel like you know the men Joseph knew, which will have you smiling when things go well and crying when they do not. My husband used to quote "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." I am beyond grateful that there are men like Joseph J Fontenot. What would our world be like without them?   As a nation, we need to do better by our returned soldiers, offering them the mental health care they need after seeing such violence and always working on the edge of certain death. Thank you, Joseph, for writing your memoir and helping the world understand what you did.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Joseph J Fontenot FB: @Sons of the Arghandab Top Guns in the Devil's Playground Book Group IG: @SonsoftheArghandabbook   Purchase Sons of the Arghandab on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4iHUJtQ Ebook: https://amzn.to/4oLo4VV   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Together, they explore why food struggles are often rooted in deeper stories about safety, identity, and being told to shrink, rather than a lack of discipline or willpower.This episode blends lived experience with practical tools, including a playful journaling practice Kayla calls narrative alchemy, designed to make inner work feel lighter, more creative, and more sustainable.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, the podcast where we talk to people in the food space, cookbook writers, people that are obsessed with food. And I'm really delighted today to speak with Tim Niver. He is the host of the Niver Niverland podcast and also a restaurateur in St. Paul, our fine capital city. He owns Mochis, also is a friend. And I was just noticing in my calendar, we recorded about a year ago today.Subscribe to Niver Niver Land on YoutubeListen to the PodcastVisit Mucci's ItalianTim Niver:Yeah, well, I know we recorded before. I don't remember the, the date, but I'm glad to, I'm glad to be back on. It's, it's, it's a good time to talk about things.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And we. I'm going to release this podcast on Friday, so it'll be timely. I moving it up in my schedule because we have been under extreme stress as restaurateurs and people in the hospitality industry basically for the last two months. But really increasingly in the last two weeks as ICE agents, 3,000 of them have started roaming the streets of Both Minneapolis and St. Paul and our surrounding suburbs and towns, asking people for papers, going into restaurants, stopping cars on the road, doing traffic enforcement type stops, going to people's homes, taking children as little as 2 and 5 years old. And unfortunately, these actions have resulted in the shooting of Renee Good also over the weekend on Saturday, the shooting of Alex Pretty. And it is so interesting.As this podcast was being released, a relief fund for Minnesota restaurants was launched by Stephanie March with support from The Minneapolis Foundation. You can give here:Stephanie Hansen:I was on the air live with my radio partner Stephanie March on Saturday morning when the second shooting happened, which technically is the third shooting because there was another one where someone was shot in the leg in their house, defending themselves with a shovel and a broom. What I just am so wanting people to hear from Minneapolis and St. Paul and Minnesota in general is that the actions that are happening here, A, are not legal, B, are not law enforcement, and C, are creating so much harm to a community that has been trying to recover for the last five years since the COVID pandemic. And I'm so. It's always restaurants. We're the canary in the coal mine. Right.Tim Niver:I'm, I'm listening. And it's hard to refute anything you said. Number one, there's a, restaurants are involved in particular in moments of social change, were involved in helping support, care for the community at large. As a product of them supporting and caring for us at large, it's a debt that we want to owe to the community. But there's a lot of pressure to act and, and it's not always an easy decision because we're business people in this. In this state, business feels insignificant altogether. And then to continue to participate appropriately on whatever way you can is, I think, ultimately where we all need to be. Whatever we can do, whatever you feel like you want to do, that should be enough for people.But there's a lot of expectation.Stephanie Hansen:It's fascinating, too, because when I say that restaurants are the canary in the coal mine, I feel like when these situations happen or civil unrest happens or starts to unfold, we see it in the restaurant community because it is communal spaces. But then we also lean on the restaurateurs and people to provide food and community. And there's so much expectation not only for you to, hey, run your business and serve me my pizza in a timely fashion, but can you also donate and feed my whole community and show up? And it's so interesting because you guys do. Yes, you do. You can.Tim Niver:We do it despite being able to.Stephanie Hansen:Because you are hospitalitarians in your heart. Like, yeah, that is why you stay in this business. It is a level of service and leadership.Tim Niver:Yeah, yeah, it's. I just think it's a matter of care, which is what we innately provide. And when there's moments where care is especially needed. You've seen this community react in full. The restaurant community and the community at large, like, we've all reacted in full. We've been there for each other. It's inspiring.Stephanie Hansen:It is inspiring. And it's ongoing.Tim Niver:Yeah, it's ongoing. It's an economic occupation as well. Completely affects and dampens any kind of feelings of joy. The. The way you might want to express yourself on a birthday feels different. The way you want to express yourself on an anniversary might feel different. Things that we celebrate, that we, as restaurateurs, try to preserve. Now we're changing our language to It's really nice to have you here. Even the things we say prompting, you know, it's. It's not. It's discompassionate, perhaps, to ask somebody how they're doing right now. So. So we're talking to each other in a whole new language based on how. How things feel. It's pervasive on all levels. But we have to persist, right? We have to, as a business, even though it feels insignificant in the moment, you have to persist. You have to do the things through an, you know, austerity or what have you to understand clearly what you're able to support and give. And then on the Inside, you have to make the decision about folks who need every single hour of work that they get per week to stay afloat. Many restaurants are the same way. And so, you know, this kind of doubles down on a time that is not normally busy. It's a huge multiplier effect.Stephanie Hansen:It's like 20 below in January and has been for about a week in the Twin Cities with another potential week ahead.Tim Niver:Right. And, you know, it does keep people in the suburbs. That interaction between the inner parts of the city, it becomes a more of a bubble. So, you know, and understanding security. It's true. Like, I get it. You know, these are all real things. Overall, it's a big pill to swallow.Stephanie Hansen:And the weight is getting really heavy. The reason I think you're uniquely qualified to speak to me today is I want people to know that in 2025, you were the James Beard semifinalist for outstanding hospitality, and you are known in our community for providing great food, great service, but your whole being and your whole approach to care and hospitality within the confines of our restaurant's four walls is what you've really done your entire career. And you've mentioned that that looks like it's changed. It has to change. It has to be modernized in light of the times and the moments that we find ourselves in.Tim Niver:Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, we began to lean more, lead more with compassion after George Floyd and Covid, trying to understand, you know, there's also a lot of strengthened worker rights. A lot of things have been changing over the years, and in good fashion. But also, I guess the thing that we. We try to do is just stay with it. We've been through some of these similar feelings before. They're triggering.Stephanie Hansen:And thank you for saying that, because I. I do think that is a uniquely Minnesota thing in that five years ago, when the George Floyd murder happened, and, well, the lockdowns were first, and then the George Floyd murder. Like, when I hear a helicopter, I feel very anxious. I feel like a trauma of what is happening. I'm heightened. I'm scared. I'm looking around. I'm wondering if there's some breaking news.It's hard to describe that to people who haven't lived under that complete fear of what's next.Tim Niver:Yeah. And in many parts of the world, they live like that every day.Stephanie Hansen:And also true. Yeah. And. Oh, gosh.Tim Niver:But we certainly do gain a perspective that nobody else could have. It also provided ample levels of or already set types of organizations in times of need. People had done this before.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And it mobilized quick. How Fast people.Tim Niver:Well, you know, we're trying to. We're all trying to protect somebody here. We're all trying to protect somebody. So I really feel like having had experience like that, you have a new generation of restaurateurs and thinkers like Rectangle Pizza. They lead with love, but they'll fight for it. Just such heart and fearlessness. That's. That's fearlessness.I don't contain that. I don't contain that. Thank God they do. Thank God they do.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah.Tim Niver:And they're thrust into it too, like being where they are.Stephanie Hansen:To give some context, Wrecktangle Pizza put out a mutual aid fund and I think they raised at last count, over a hundred thousand dollars of. Oh, over two.Tim Niver:I believe it's over two through selling.Stephanie Hansen:Pizzas and collecting donations. And that money is going back into their communities. And we've seen a lot of that. These mutual aid funds that people have just started on their own.Tim Niver:Then they were visited the next, the following day after they did that by Ice2, perhaps recognizing that they were part of some resistance by helping take care of people and, you know, it just. How is that imaginable?Stephanie Hansen:What do you. I. It's hard to describe the. It's hard to describe the impact that the diverse population and immigrant population has had on the restaurant business as a whole. I think some people believe that everyone who works in a restaurant that is a black or a brown person is somehow an illegal person. And it's ignorant and I'm not sure people fully know, but there is this sort of idea too, like, well, these owners. These owners are employing these people without papers and we're just getting the bad guys. Can.You've been in this industry a long time. This industry is made up of a lot of people.Tim Niver:Yeah. You know, honestly, you hire somebody, you have to do the paperwork. That's the only way they can get paid. And I am not an ID expert. I do not run this through some sort of machine that tells me exactly where the documents are. We've. We've been very, very fortunate just for a matter of retention that we've done so little hiring. It made moochies in particular, but in general that, you know, it's just part of the first day packet, but you have to take care of it.Tim Niver:It's. It's immensely important to the infrastructure of a business to be organized in such a way and still mistakes can be made. But for me in particular, it's never a question. It's like, you have to have this to work. It's so easy. Either you do or you don't.And when you pay someone and give them a paycheck, there is an employment tax that's attached to that paycheck.Yeah. Oh, yeah. Their own. And then we match. Yeah, we. No, nobody gets around that. There's no way for them not to pay taxes unless somebody's doing something illegal. But everybody's got to do the same paperwork.They get the same i9 w4 and w2 at the end of the year. You know, it's all stated. That doesn't make somebody legal either. But in terms of when you hire somebody, you go through and you. You do what you can to do everything right. And hopefully they stay for a long time, whoever they are. Yeah, but we are made up of the community at large. Any city is going to be made up of a cast of characters and we certainly don't want them to be the same character over and over.The diversity speaks loudly to the depth of the culture that you exist in. So we benefit.Stephanie Hansen:It's also when we look at the diversity of the food culture that's offered in the Twin Cities. I mean, you're making Italian food.Tim Niver:Italian American. Yeah, yeah.Stephanie Hansen:Someone else is making Somali food, Ethiopian food, Vietnamese food. The irony is we have all these diverse cultures all coming together over this common tradition of breaking bread, of communally spending time in community together at our tables.Tim Niver:Yes.Stephanie Hansen:And it just saddens me that this is, this schism that is going to happen. It happens in restaurants first and then we're going to be the last ones to be able to pick up the pieces when all these creeps leave. And all of this is, you know, the bad guys and the murderers and the rapists and whatever excuse you want to use for this complete brutality that's happening to our community, then the restaurateurs will again pick it up. Food costs will probably increase. I would imagine none of these things that are happening are inexpensive. We have a somewhat broken food system nationally. You know, when you think about.Tim Niver:It's a rough year of tariffs. It was a rough year. Understanding the more in price increases, insurance costs, health care costs, whatever you're involved with, you know, I'm. My little business. You would be so shocked to know what we pay for insurance a year.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, I just wrote my thousand dollar check for the month. Yeah, I'm a freelance person. No support.Tim Niver:A lot of money.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, it is.Tim Niver:And those things have been ongoing. And then this obviously again is, like I said, a multiplying factor.Stephanie Hansen:So how do you keep. I mean, we've painted a Pretty gloomy picture. So how do you keep waking up every day and coming into your restaurant and finding joy? Because I think a couple of months in and two weeks of really acute persecution here, people are feeling really beleaguered.Tim Niver:Yeah, Weighted, I guess what I'd say. And I. And I haven't necessarily found it totally in myself, but we talk about preserving joy and pieces of it. You shouldn't think of joy being some all encompassing kind of a thing that just washes over you completely. You really have to parse it out and be deliberate with how you preserve your joy. Right now, that may be in a restaurant, I think I'm just starting to get my feet kind of how I feel personally. But the last few days kind of forced myself into tons of conversation. Even though that doesn't always feel comfortable.I feel like staying at home. So I think that conversation, there's. Maybe you're commiserating or whatever, but there is a unity when you don't hold up, when you don't sacrifice joy because of it feels wrong. In this time, I do believe, you know, my message to anybody would be is, and I am intent on this is just where you see joy, like stop and engage with it and. Or force it and make sure that you're trying anyway. Get out, go where you want to go. It doesn't have to be Moochie's. It doesn't.That that's not it, you know, but that. That's part of it too, you know, hey, we're giving a lot of money. Other, not just restaurants, people are giving a lot of money and resource to. To feeding people or staying safe or doing what they need to do right now. I mean, I understand dining out may not be your priority, but preserving a little bit of joy, if you could consider that. I think, I think there's a little tiny pot of gold. Right.Stephanie Hansen:I thought I would start out this year talking about, like, food trends, because I love to talk about food trends. It's like one of my favorite things to talk about. But, you know, that feels a little like we're not doing that today. How are your colleagues feeling? Like you have a unique ability because you have people on your podcast. You are behind the scenes in the hospitality business. How are your colleagues doing?Tim Niver:Beleaguered. Beleaguered. Same boat. You know, the tides are out. It's not in saying that is unattractive. You know, I get it. Like saying. Saying that things are hard is kind of an unattractive thing or unhospitable thing.But we're all feeling it. It's. It's kind of hard. Anyway, I'm empathic, so, like, I'm just, like, sponging energy, and I. It's. It's really hard to, like, you know, continue to hear it.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. I. I also think something that has come to me over the years of working in this business is we think about artists and musicians as these very creative beings. Right. And their art is their song or their poem or their story. And what I have learned in this business is that my fellow hospitalitarity people are also artists. It is the food that they are putting on the plate. It is the care with which they are putting there.It is the farmer who's growing his heirloom seed to get that tomato to bring to you to make that perfect. Yeah. Salad. And artists as a class tend to be fairly sensitive people. They have a lot of empathy, a lot of emotional capacity, and it is just crushing sometimes. Similar happening. Yeah.Tim Niver:Yeah. You know, going back just a bit toward the last piece about Joy, a story. I got reminded of something after I said my bit last week. Earlier last week, like, Tuesday, before anything happened with Alex Preddy, I was at the door. A father and son walked in the door, and I'm at the host stand, and I see that they have a birthday designation. And I'm like, hey, you know, welcome in. I see one of you is having a birthday today. And they both kind of stopped in their tracks.And I said, hey, hey. I didn't. You know, I don't mean to get, you know, too personal. Whatever. I just see it listed here, and they're like, well, my wife, his mother, she died 30 days ago, and today's her birthday. Oh, that's why we have to be here.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, that's.Tim Niver:That's what we have to preserve, and that's what people should. Should still celebrate.Stephanie Hansen:Sorry.Tim Niver:Thanks.Stephanie Hansen:No, it's. It. It's interesting because I'm one of those weirdos that gets together with friends in January and does tarot card readings.Tim Niver:Oh, I love it.Stephanie Hansen:And my, you know, you can pick, like, career adventure. And I picked joy as my, like, category, and I've been feeling kind of joyless. And you really hit something on the head when you talked about joy, which is something I'm working on, but it's recent, so I'm not doing well at it yet. But it's hard that, you know, I really. I was working on a project that wrapped up at the end of the year, and I pushed myself so hard. By the time I got done, I Just was an empty, depleted cup. I had nothing left. And I had this trip planned, and I was gonna go on this trip, and I was gonna rest and read, and I was gonna get my joy back and re.Energize. And on that trip, all this thing, these things were happening at home, and I haven't been sleeping, and it's been just constant cortisol rushing.Tim Niver:Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:And I didn't get that joy in that way that I felt. And. And what my tarot cards said was exactly what you said, which is. It's not a huge wave. It's the moments within the wave. And you have to intentionally seek them out, look for them, create opportunities for them to happen.Tim Niver:Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:And for me, as a person who loves restaurants, it does happen a lot in restaurants.Tim Niver:Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's not a manufactured feeling, you know, either. When you come in here, there's a genuine desire to uphold whatever you're there to be doing in whatever form. You know, whether it's a funeral or, you know, an anniversary or a birth. You know, we want to be able. When you walk in the door, we want to be able to make sure we're taken care of. Wherever you are, be compassionate to that moment.And that's why memories are made in restaurants. It's where people get together, you hear other voices, and you don't have to listen to them. You know, it's a din. It kind of makes you feel comfortable, like there's an outside world that's not affecting you. And there's a lot of beauty in finding a place that gives you that sort of peace for a little while and visiting it.Stephanie Hansen:Oh, and I just. I think about Town Talk Diner, which was one of your original spots, and so many people still talk about that place and Nick Kosevich and you, and just this idea of what that place meant to so many people. And you've had a number of places like that because then you had Saint Dinette. And I'm trying to think of the. I'm trying. A total blank of your place.Tim Niver:Strip club up on the hill.Stephanie Hansen:Thank you.Tim Niver:Strip club. It's all good. It's a lot of years.Stephanie Hansen:It's a lot of years, like, so many of these places that have meant so much to people as we move forward, because we're really in it right now. We're sort of stuck. What would you like to see moving forward? And how can people listening to this podcast be supportive of restaurants in general if you're their spokesperson?Tim Niver:Yeah, if I was a spokesperson and. And I. And I kind of am sometimes, you know, I don't try not to speak for the whole industry at large, but I would just say, you know, mind, mind what you are spending on and what you aren't spending on and a business is doing the same. And I'm just looking for moments of unity between everybody that we can to kind of find some sort of momentum back into pushing towards joy. But for business folks right now, we understand we have a little bit of more time to consider that this might be happening. So to those business folks, I'd say consider your austerity. Now. What keeps you there for your community? What keeps you there for your employees? What keeps you there for the right reasons? But also, you know, folks, I know that they're in general acting so generously and putting emotion on things, but I would say, you know, to preserve that joy, make a reservation somewhere and go out and eat, do whatever you can.Tim Niver:It doesn't have to be a full blown meal. It could be a short visit. It could be go in and have a drink and hug the person you really like there. But I think you have to kind of get everybody working in the space that yes, there may be some time here for operators, but also for folks that are out there feeling a lot of different ways that there is a lot to be said for visiting and being out in your community and it's not a feelful place all the time. And restaurants and businesses, we need you to continue to visit. It's really that important. And that's all there is. You know, it's a business that's in service of others and without them it's hard to continue.Stephanie Hansen:And it feels so much better to, you know, after ruminating in my house for days. Then today I went to two coffee shops and I sat down with a friend who's turns out starting a business. She's an immigrant herself and scared and trying to figure out what the way forward is. Just spending time hearing her, hearing her concerns.Tim Niver:Yes.Stephanie Hansen:Introducing her to some new people that maybe she hadn't thought about that might be resources. Yes, I just.Tim Niver:Expanding your community and, and yeah, expanding your community and bringing people in, bringing people in, you know, and we have.Stephanie Hansen:So many young people like, I mean, we've been around the block. We're sage and oh no, the young.Tim Niver:The youngs are, are really strong here. You can see it in their dedication to their craft. You can see it in the dedication to their employees. You can see it in their dedication. In whatever way they were able to show solidarity during a day of Strike. It's. It's really insanely cool. Group of people were hoping for, rooting for desirous of their success.Tim Niver:I mean, that's what we want.Stephanie Hansen:We do, because we had the, you know, the Phil Roberts and we had our. Everyone's mentor, Tim McKee. But we have this new group of really committed and passionate folks, and it's nice to be able to share wisdom with them, but also to create and be absorbed in their energy of how they want to move this industry forward. It's pretty neat.Tim Niver:During these times. During these times. Well, you know, you. You said it. And I feel that this industry has been nothing but supportive, if not led the way in a lot of ways. I'm proud to be a part of it. I would like to do just what I do, but I understand that times are different and we all need to stand up and in the way that we need to stand up, but we do need to stand up and show ourselves for everyone. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:If all you can muster is to go to a new business and have a cup of coffee, then do that. If you have the time or the capacity to be a protester, do that. Like there's nothing. Everyone showing up in different ways. I just want people to hear that you show up. And even if you didn't vote for who I voted for or you voted for someone and that wasn't what you thought you got, it's past that.Tim Niver:We're just humanity, man.Stephanie Hansen:This is.Tim Niver:This is humanity. This is treating each other appropriately.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. That's it.Tim Niver:Like basic stuff. And then respecting our rights.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And agreed. Well, I think, Tim, I'm gonna wrap it up. I really. I love spending time with you today.Tim Niver:Thanks.Stephanie Hansen:Farther away from the restaurant now, so I don't get in as often, but.Tim Niver:You know, we're here. Just we're here anyway, you know, we're here.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah.Tim Niver:You feel us? You feel us?Stephanie Hansen:I do. And I really appreciate the leadership, also the respect that you have garnished in this community and the leadership that you provide for other restaurant tours and just.Tim Niver:Trying to earn it. I'll keep trying to earn it.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, you do. Every day. And just the ability to be able to hear your story and to help people understand what it feels like on the ground as a small business person who's just trying to keep their people employed, their family fed, and are moving. Yeah, exactly. Thanks, Tim.Tim Niver:Yeah, my pleasure. Always.Stephanie Hansen:Okay, we'll talk to you soon.Tim Niver:Thank you.Stephanie Hansen:Okay, bye. Bye.

And when there's moments where care is especially needed. You've seen this community react in full. The restaurant community and the community at large, like, we've all reacted in full. We've been there for each other. It's inspiring.Stephanie Hansen:It is inspiring. And it's ongoing.Tim Niver:Yeah, it's ongoing. It's an economic occupation as well. Completely affects and dampens any kind of feelings of joy. The. The way you might want to express yourself on a birthday feels different. The way you want to express yourself on an anniversary might feel different. Things that we celebrate, that we, as restaurateurs, try to preserve. Now we're changing our language to It's really nice to have you here. Even the things we say prompting, you know, it's. It's not. It's discompassionate, perhaps, to ask somebody how they're doing right now. So. So we're talking to each other in a whole new language based on how. How things feel. It's pervasive on all levels. But we have to persist, right? We have to, as a business, even though it feels insignificant in the moment, you have to persist. You have to do the things through an, you know, austerity or what have you to understand clearly what you're able to support and give. And then on the Inside, you have to make the decision about folks who need every single hour of work that they get per week to stay afloat. Many restaurants are the same way. And so, you know, this kind of doubles down on a time that is not normally busy. It's a huge multiplier effect.Stephanie Hansen:It's like 20 below in January and has been for about a week in the Twin Cities with another potential week ahead.Tim Niver:Right. And, you know, it does keep people in the suburbs. That interaction between the inner parts of the city, it becomes a more of a bubble. So, you know, and understanding security. It's true. Like, I get it. You know, these are all real things. Overall, it's a big pill to swallow.Stephanie Hansen:And the weight is getting really heavy. The reason I think you're uniquely qualified to speak to me today is I want people to know that in 2025, you were the James Beard semifinalist for outstanding hospitality, and you are known in our community for providing great food, great service, but your whole being and your whole approach to care and hospitality within the confines of our restaurant's four walls is what you've really done your entire career. And you've mentioned that that looks like it's changed. It has to change. It has to be modernized in light of the times and the moments that we find ourselves in.Tim Niver:Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, we began to lean more, lead more with compassion after George Floyd and Covid, trying to understand, you know, there's also a lot of strengthened worker rights. A lot of things have been changing over the years, and in good fashion. But also, I guess the thing that we. We try to do is just stay with it. We've been through some of these similar feelings before. They're triggering.Stephanie Hansen:And thank you for saying that, because I. I do think that is a uniquely Minnesota thing in that five years ago, when the George Floyd murder happened, and, well, the lockdowns were first, and then the George Floyd murder. Like, when I hear a helicopter, I feel very anxious. I feel like a trauma of what is happening. I'm heightened. I'm scared. I'm looking around. I'm wondering if there's some breaking news.It's hard to describe that to people who haven't lived under that complete fear of what's next.Tim Niver:Yeah. And in many parts of the world, they live like that every day.Stephanie Hansen:And also true. Yeah. And. Oh, gosh.Tim Niver:But we certainly do gain a perspective that nobody else could have. It also provided ample levels of or already set types of organizations in times of need. People had done this before.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And it mobilized quick. How Fast people.Tim Niver:Well, you know, we're trying to. We're all trying to protect somebody here. We're all trying to protect somebody. So I really feel like having had experience like that, you have a new generation of restaurateurs and thinkers like Rectangle Pizza. They lead with love, but they'll fight for it. Just such heart and fearlessness. That's. That's fearlessness.I don't contain that. I don't contain that. Thank God they do. Thank God they do.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah.Tim Niver:And they're thrust into it too, like being where they are.Stephanie Hansen:To give some context, Wrecktangle Pizza put out a mutual aid fund and I think they raised at last count, over a hundred thousand dollars of. Oh, over two.Tim Niver:I believe it's over two through selling.Stephanie Hansen:Pizzas and collecting donations. And that money is going back into their communities. And we've seen a lot of that. These mutual aid funds that people have just started on their own.Tim Niver:Then they were visited the next, the following day after they did that by Ice2, perhaps recognizing that they were part of some resistance by helping take care of people and, you know, it just. How is that imaginable?Stephanie Hansen:What do you. I. It's hard to describe the. It's hard to describe the impact that the diverse population and immigrant population has had on the restaurant business as a whole. I think some people believe that everyone who works in a restaurant that is a black or a brown person is somehow an illegal person. And it's ignorant and I'm not sure people fully know, but there is this sort of idea too, like, well, these owners. These owners are employing these people without papers and we're just getting the bad guys. Can.You've been in this industry a long time. This industry is made up of a lot of people.Tim Niver:Yeah. You know, honestly, you hire somebody, you have to do the paperwork. That's the only way they can get paid. And I am not an ID expert. I do not run this through some sort of machine that tells me exactly where the documents are. We've. We've been very, very fortunate just for a matter of retention that we've done so little hiring. It made moochies in particular, but in general that, you know, it's just part of the first day packet, but you have to take care of it.Tim Niver:It's. It's immensely important to the infrastructure of a business to be organized in such a way and still mistakes can be made. But for me in particular, it's never a question. It's like, you have to have this to work. It's so easy. Either you do or you don't.And when you pay someone and give them a paycheck, there is an employment tax that's attached to that paycheck.Yeah. Oh, yeah. Their own. And then we match. Yeah, we. No, nobody gets around that. There's no way for them not to pay taxes unless somebody's doing something illegal. But everybody's got to do the same paperwork.They get the same i9 w4 and w2 at the end of the year. You know, it's all stated. That doesn't make somebody legal either. But in terms of when you hire somebody, you go through and you. You do what you can to do everything right. And hopefully they stay for a long time, whoever they are. Yeah, but we are made up of the community at large. Any city is going to be made up of a cast of characters and we certainly don't want them to be the same character over and over.The diversity speaks loudly to the depth of the culture that you exist in. So we benefit.Stephanie Hansen:It's also when we look at the diversity of the food culture that's offered in the Twin Cities. I mean, you're making Italian food.Tim Niver:Italian American. Yeah, yeah.Stephanie Hansen:Someone else is making Somali food, Ethiopian food, Vietnamese food. The irony is we have all these diverse cultures all coming together over this common tradition of breaking bread, of communally spending time in community together at our tables.Tim Niver:Yes.Stephanie Hansen:And it just saddens me that this is, this schism that is going to happen. It happens in restaurants first and then we're going to be the last ones to be able to pick up the pieces when all these creeps leave. And all of this is, you know, the bad guys and the murderers and the rapists and whatever excuse you want to use for this complete brutality that's happening to our community, then the restaurateurs will again pick it up. Food costs will probably increase. I would imagine none of these things that are happening are inexpensive. We have a somewhat broken food system nationally. You know, when you think about.Tim Niver:It's a rough year of tariffs. It was a rough year. Understanding the more in price increases, insurance costs, health care costs, whatever you're involved with, you know, I'm. My little business. You would be so shocked to know what we pay for insurance a year.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, I just wrote my thousand dollar check for the month. Yeah, I'm a freelance person. No support.Tim Niver:A lot of money.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, it is.Tim Niver:And those things have been ongoing. And then this obviously again is, like I said, a multiplying factor.Stephanie Hansen:So how do you keep. I mean, we've painted a Pretty gloomy picture. So how do you keep waking up every day and coming into your restaurant and finding joy? Because I think a couple of months in and two weeks of really acute persecution here, people are feeling really beleaguered.Tim Niver:Yeah, Weighted, I guess what I'd say. And I. And I haven't necessarily found it totally in myself, but we talk about preserving joy and pieces of it. You shouldn't think of joy being some all encompassing kind of a thing that just washes over you completely. You really have to parse it out and be deliberate with how you preserve your joy. Right now, that may be in a restaurant, I think I'm just starting to get my feet kind of how I feel personally. But the last few days kind of forced myself into tons of conversation. Even though that doesn't always feel comfortable.I feel like staying at home. So I think that conversation, there's. Maybe you're commiserating or whatever, but there is a unity when you don't hold up, when you don't sacrifice joy because of it feels wrong. In this time, I do believe, you know, my message to anybody would be is, and I am intent on this is just where you see joy, like stop and engage with it and. Or force it and make sure that you're trying anyway. Get out, go where you want to go. It doesn't have to be Moochie's. It doesn't.That that's not it, you know, but that. That's part of it too, you know, hey, we're giving a lot of money. Other, not just restaurants, people are giving a lot of money and resource to. To feeding people or staying safe or doing what they need to do right now. I mean, I understand dining out may not be your priority, but preserving a little bit of joy, if you could consider that. I think, I think there's a little tiny pot of gold. Right.Stephanie Hansen:I thought I would start out this year talking about, like, food trends, because I love to talk about food trends. It's like one of my favorite things to talk about. But, you know, that feels a little like we're not doing that today. How are your colleagues feeling? Like you have a unique ability because you have people on your podcast. You are behind the scenes in the hospitality business. How are your colleagues doing?Tim Niver:Beleaguered. Beleaguered. Same boat. You know, the tides are out. It's not in saying that is unattractive. You know, I get it. Like saying. Saying that things are hard is kind of an unattractive thing or unhospitable thing.But we're all feeling it. It's. It's kind of hard. Anyway, I'm empathic, so, like, I'm just, like, sponging energy, and I. It's. It's really hard to, like, you know, continue to hear it.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. I. I also think something that has come to me over the years of working in this business is we think about artists and musicians as these very creative beings. Right. And their art is their song or their poem or their story. And what I have learned in this business is that my fellow hospitalitarity people are also artists. It is the food that they are putting on the plate. It is the care with which they are putting there.It is the farmer who's growing his heirloom seed to get that tomato to bring to you to make that perfect. Yeah. Salad. And artists as a class tend to be fairly sensitive people. They have a lot of empathy, a lot of emotional capacity, and it is just crushing sometimes. Similar happening. Yeah.Tim Niver:Yeah. You know, going back just a bit toward the last piece about Joy, a story. I got reminded of something after I said my bit last week. Earlier last week, like, Tuesday, before anything happened with Alex Preddy, I was at the door. A father and son walked in the door, and I'm at the host stand, and I see that they have a birthday designation. And I'm like, hey, you know, welcome in. I see one of you is having a birthday today. And they both kind of stopped in their tracks.And I said, hey, hey. I didn't. You know, I don't mean to get, you know, too personal. Whatever. I just see it listed here, and they're like, well, my wife, his mother, she died 30 days ago, and today's her birthday. Oh, that's why we have to be here.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, that's.Tim Niver:That's what we have to preserve, and that's what people should. Should still celebrate.Stephanie Hansen:Sorry.Tim Niver:Thanks.Stephanie Hansen:No, it's. It. It's interesting because I'm one of those weirdos that gets together with friends in January and does tarot card readings.Tim Niver:Oh, I love it.Stephanie Hansen:And my, you know, you can pick, like, career adventure. And I picked joy as my, like, category, and I've been feeling kind of joyless. And you really hit something on the head when you talked about joy, which is something I'm working on, but it's recent, so I'm not doing well at it yet. But it's hard that, you know, I really. I was working on a project that wrapped up at the end of the year, and I pushed myself so hard. By the time I got done, I Just was an empty, depleted cup. I had nothing left. And I had this trip planned, and I was gonna go on this trip, and I was gonna rest and read, and I was gonna get my joy back and re.Energize. And on that trip, all this thing, these things were happening at home, and I haven't been sleeping, and it's been just constant cortisol rushing.Tim Niver:Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:And I didn't get that joy in that way that I felt. And. And what my tarot cards said was exactly what you said, which is. It's not a huge wave. It's the moments within the wave. And you have to intentionally seek them out, look for them, create opportunities for them to happen.Tim Niver:Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:And for me, as a person who loves restaurants, it does happen a lot in restaurants.Tim Niver:Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's not a manufactured feeling, you know, either. When you come in here, there's a genuine desire to uphold whatever you're there to be doing in whatever form. You know, whether it's a funeral or, you know, an anniversary or a birth. You know, we want to be able. When you walk in the door, we want to be able to make sure we're taken care of. Wherever you are, be compassionate to that moment.And that's why memories are made in restaurants. It's where people get together, you hear other voices, and you don't have to listen to them. You know, it's a din. It kind of makes you feel comfortable, like there's an outside world that's not affecting you. And there's a lot of beauty in finding a place that gives you that sort of peace for a little while and visiting it.Stephanie Hansen:Oh, and I just. I think about Town Talk Diner, which was one of your original spots, and so many people still talk about that place and Nick Kosevich and you, and just this idea of what that place meant to so many people. And you've had a number of places like that because then you had Saint Dinette. And I'm trying to think of the. I'm trying. A total blank of your place.Tim Niver:Strip club up on the hill.Stephanie Hansen:Thank you.Tim Niver:Strip club. It's all good. It's a lot of years.Stephanie Hansen:It's a lot of years, like, so many of these places that have meant so much to people as we move forward, because we're really in it right now. We're sort of stuck. What would you like to see moving forward? And how can people listening to this podcast be supportive of restaurants in general if you're their spokesperson?Tim Niver:Yeah, if I was a spokesperson and. And I. And I kind of am sometimes, you know, I don't try not to speak for the whole industry at large, but I would just say, you know, mind, mind what you are spending on and what you aren't spending on and a business is doing the same. And I'm just looking for moments of unity between everybody that we can to kind of find some sort of momentum back into pushing towards joy. But for business folks right now, we understand we have a little bit of more time to consider that this might be happening. So to those business folks, I'd say consider your austerity. Now. What keeps you there for your community? What keeps you there for your employees? What keeps you there for the right reasons? But also, you know, folks, I know that they're in general acting so generously and putting emotion on things, but I would say, you know, to preserve that joy, make a reservation somewhere and go out and eat, do whatever you can.Tim Niver:It doesn't have to be a full blown meal. It could be a short visit. It could be go in and have a drink and hug the person you really like there. But I think you have to kind of get everybody working in the space that yes, there may be some time here for operators, but also for folks that are out there feeling a lot of different ways that there is a lot to be said for visiting and being out in your community and it's not a feelful place all the time. And restaurants and businesses, we need you to continue to visit. It's really that important. And that's all there is. You know, it's a business that's in service of others and without them it's hard to continue.Stephanie Hansen:And it feels so much better to, you know, after ruminating in my house for days. Then today I went to two coffee shops and I sat down with a friend who's turns out starting a business. She's an immigrant herself and scared and trying to figure out what the way forward is. Just spending time hearing her, hearing her concerns.Tim Niver:Yes.Stephanie Hansen:Introducing her to some new people that maybe she hadn't thought about that might be resources. Yes, I just.Tim Niver:Expanding your community and, and yeah, expanding your community and bringing people in, bringing people in, you know, and we have.Stephanie Hansen:So many young people like, I mean, we've been around the block. We're sage and oh no, the young.Tim Niver:The youngs are, are really strong here. You can see it in their dedication to their craft. You can see it in the dedication to their employees. You can see it in their dedication. In whatever way they were able to show solidarity during a day of Strike. It's. It's really insanely cool. Group of people were hoping for, rooting for desirous of their success.Tim Niver:I mean, that's what we want.Stephanie Hansen:We do, because we had the, you know, the Phil Roberts and we had our. Everyone's mentor, Tim McKee. But we have this new group of really committed and passionate folks, and it's nice to be able to share wisdom with them, but also to create and be absorbed in their energy of how they want to move this industry forward. It's pretty neat.Tim Niver:During these times. During these times. Well, you know, you. You said it. And I feel that this industry has been nothing but supportive, if not led the way in a lot of ways. I'm proud to be a part of it. I would like to do just what I do, but I understand that times are different and we all need to stand up and in the way that we need to stand up, but we do need to stand up and show ourselves for everyone. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:If all you can muster is to go to a new business and have a cup of coffee, then do that. If you have the time or the capacity to be a protester, do that. Like there's nothing. Everyone showing up in different ways. I just want people to hear that you show up. And even if you didn't vote for who I voted for or you voted for someone and that wasn't what you thought you got, it's past that.Tim Niver:We're just humanity, man.Stephanie Hansen:This is.Tim Niver:This is humanity. This is treating each other appropriately.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. That's it.Tim Niver:Like basic stuff. And then respecting our rights.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And agreed. Well, I think, Tim, I'm gonna wrap it up. I really. I love spending time with you today.Tim Niver:Thanks.Stephanie Hansen:Farther away from the restaurant now, so I don't get in as often, but.Tim Niver:You know, we're here. Just we're here anyway, you know, we're here.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah.Tim Niver:You feel us? You feel us?Stephanie Hansen:I do. And I really appreciate the leadership, also the respect that you have garnished in this community and the leadership that you provide for other restaurant tours and just.Tim Niver:Trying to earn it. I'll keep trying to earn it.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, you do. Every day. And just the ability to be able to hear your story and to help people understand what it feels like on the ground as a small business person who's just trying to keep their people employed, their family fed, and are moving. Yeah, exactly. Thanks, Tim.Tim Niver:Yeah, my pleasure. Always.Stephanie Hansen:Okay, we'll talk to you soon.Tim Niver:Thank you.Stephanie Hansen:Okay, bye. Bye.

Where do personal opinions end and the forcing of someone else's truth begin? And who decides where that line should be drawn? It seems the fine art of constructive conversation has lost its luster. When discussing diverging theories or opposing views, why do we now seem to feel someone is trying to convince us they have the answer? And possibly even change our mind on our belief or opinion to more closely align to theirs. Debate has been a healthy part of education for generations. Debate clubs and, even competitive debate events, were common on most high school and college campuses. Is it still possible to walk away from a healthy exchange of opposing view points and maintain the same opinion you entered with? Authenticity and neutrality (and other Divine Feminine attributes) are critical to this type of debate and that is what we will discuss in this episode.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Leslie R Schover, author of the book Fission. Leslie is a clinical psychologist and brings her knowledge of people and relationships to her fiction writing. She spent most of her career at the Cleveland Clinic and the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. She published three self-help books and created a digital health company to educate people with cancer about sex and fertility. Will2Love.com won a 2019 Innovation Prize in the Astellas C 3 Changing Cancer Care contest. Her first published novel, Fission: A Novel of Atomic Heartbreak draws on her parents' stories of Oak Ridge during the Manhattan Project and on revelations of Soviet spies there. She lives in Houston, Texas with her faithful dog, Luc.   In my book review, I stated that Fission is a wonderful historical fiction. Although set during WWII, this book takes place completely within the United States as we follow Doris and her husband Rob to Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Doris' husband is tapped to work on the Manhattan Project, a top-secret program to create the first atomic bomb.   As a reluctant young mother and bride, Doris first has to decide if she will move to Oak Ridge or continue her education. When she finally moves to Oak Ridge, she has to figure out her place in a world very different from Chicago. Will being Jewish be something to overcome? Will her husband's lack of education stop him from advancing? Will Doris figure out her role as wife and mother? What will she do when romance comes knocking - and not from her husband?   I was excited to learn this story is based loosely on Leslie's parents, which gives an emotional edge to the characters - and you know how I love a good character! This is a must-read book that will give you an insider's look at The Manhattan Project and how it affected not just the scientists, but all who lived and worked in Oak Ridge.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Leslie R Schover Website: https://www.leslieschoverauthor.com/ IG: @leslieschover FB: @leslie.schover.9   Purchase Fission on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4rRR3dp Ebook: https://amzn.to/48Cb92k   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Ruth F Stevens, author of the book My Year of Casual Acquaintances. Ruth F. Stevens likes to create stories that will make readers laugh and cry. A former public relations executive in New York and Los Angeles, she is a produced playwright and award-winning author of three novels: Stage Seven, My Year of Casual Acquaintances, and The Unexpected Guests. Ruth is a member of the Women's Fiction Writers Association and the Dramatists Guild of America and serves as a volunteer and acquisitions editor for AlzAuthors.   Ruth lives in Torrance, California with her husband. In her spare time, she enjoys travel, hiking, hip-hop and fitness classes, yoga, Broadway musicals, wine tasting, leading a book club, and visiting her grandsons in NYC.   In my book review, I stated My Year of Casual Acquaintances by Ruth F Stevens is a wonderful contemporary women's fiction. We meet Mar, a recently divorced woman who drops everything from her past and tries to start over. However, she has zero intention of becoming serious with anyone - neighbors, friends, or dates!   We follow Mar for a year as she finds and meets different people on her journey of rediscovery. Some relationships last and others fall to the wayside. But in each, Mar learns something about herself. However, she isn't truly happy because she isn't allowing real connection. The question is - can she? Will she?   I laughed and cheered and sighed over Mar. She has a big heart but is afraid to let anyone see it. As someone who has had to start over (on more than one occasion), I understand her reluctance. But like Mar, I've learned it is worth putting yourself on the line.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Ruth F Stevens Website: https://ruthfstevens.com/ IG: @ruthfstevensauthor/ FB: @rfsauthor   Purchase My Year of Casual Acquaintances on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4ppTZfs Ebook: https://amzn.to/48LKnEN   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

What will podcasting actually look like by the end of 2026, once the hype settles and habits stick?In this episode, we make grounded predictions about where the medium is heading and what creators may want to do less of. We examine the growing pushback against video-first shows that neglect audio listeners, why audio-only content may regain strength, and how screen fatigue could reshape creator priorities.We also look at the future of tools and platforms. Where AI editing genuinely saves time, where it risks flattening personality, and why rougher, more human solo content may become more valuable rather than less. We explore distribution too, including what might come next from Spotify, whether Apple Podcasts is likely to evolve, and why open RSS still matters even as video grows.Finally, we wrap up by looking ahead. Which formats are likely to thrive, how monetisation and advertising may shift, and how creators can decide what is actually worth their time.Podcraft is brought to you by Alitu and The Podcast Host

Als Autorin wurde sie mit ihrem Debüt Buch: „Dinge, die ich am Anfang meiner Karriere gerne gewusst hätte“ zur Stimme einer Generation von Frauen, die sich fragt, wie beruflicher Erfolg gelingen kann, ohne sich selbst zu verlieren. Seit mehr als achteinhalb Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In mehr als 500 Episoden mit fast 700 Persönlichkeiten haben wir darüber gesprochen, was sich verändert hat – und was sich weiter verändern muss. Wie gelingt es, in der Medienwelt der Gegenwart Haltung zu zeigen – ohne sich zu verbiegen? Welche strukturellen Hürden bremsen Frauenkarrieren – und wie lassen sie sich konkret überwinden? Und warum reicht es nicht, nur das System zu kritisieren – wenn wir nicht auch die Spielregeln verändern? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is JD Rasch, author of the book Quasi-Crystal. Jody “J.D.” Rasch is a writer, artist, social activist, and author. His debut fantasy series, The Wanderer, incorporates social issues including politics, religion and how we are influenced in our lives.   Jody is also a painter, whose art explores the mysteries of our world. Jody worked in finance for many years but managed to use it for good by helping banks that gave loans to the poor. Jody now serves on not-for-profit boards that seek to make the world a better place.   A native New Yorker who was forced to move to the burbs, Jody now lives just outside New York City.   In my book review, I stated The Quasi-Crystal is part 3 of a fantasy series, The Wanderer. Despite being the third book of which I didn't read the first two, I found this fantasy quite fascinating. I particularly liked Pom, an ex-thief who soon realizes she has immense powers of empathy and calm, as well as Theb, a gemstone cutter who insists the rock he has found is more than a rock. Both find themselves drawn into a quest despite having no real appetite for one.   JD does a great job getting readers to think about politics and religion, asking questions like what do you want? And why? In one instance, he shows two groups who worship differently, and face in opposite directions to pray. The question is asked - does the direction matter? And it made me think about ways people worship and whether the differences are significant or superficial.   Throughout the book, readers learn tidbits of JDs beliefs - humans are humans, people can create excuses for anything they do, we always have a choice, and more. Throw these in with great characters and a fantasy world complete with a quest to save humankind - and you have a great story. As someone who isn't usually interested in fantasy, I still enjoyed this story.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author JD Rasch Website: https://jdrasch.com/ LinkedIn: @jodyrasch IG: @jodyrasch FB: @jody.rasch.35   Purchase The Quasi-Crystal on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4hUtLin Ebook: https://amzn.to/4qRuxke   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Do you still need all the “must-do” podcasting advice that gets recycled every year, or has some of it quietly expired?In this episode, we revisit a long list of podcasting essentials and ask one question of each: Does this still matter in 2026? We look at what still earns its place, what has changed, and what you can stop worrying about entirely.The focus is on practical decisions, not trends. When consistency helps and when it gets in the way, why some advice was never essential to begin with, and how much effort makes sense depending on whether your show is a hobby, a growth project, or a business.The thread throughout is simple. Understand why you are doing something, not just whether you have been told you should.Do you still need...A podcast website?A podcast trailer?Apple Podcasts reviews?A microphone?A consistent format or length?To launch with three episodes?An email list?To add metadata to your files?Interview guests?An RSS feed?To listen back to your episodes?Also mentionedGet in touchPodpagePodcast trailer guideUsing Rephonic to find collaborators The Samson Q2U micPodcraft is brought to you by Alitu and The Podcast Host

They're extremely helpful when it comes to reaching our audience, and I read each and every one!Key Quotes & Takeaways:"It feels like all of the general purpose, general conversation, broad appeal shows, they're now all just run by celebrities because they've all jumped into it, because it's proven that it can make them money, it's become popular.""You can make a living out of 100 listeners, 200 listeners, because you can build such trust and such credibility that you can sell a really high ticket, consulting package membership, whatever that might be.""Because they've got to know you, they go and listen to the show. And they're so much more likely to become fans that then pass it on to their friends and pass it around their communities. And those elements just scale so much more in a podcast than they do in any other medium because people spend so much time with you.""If you want to use clips, generally you want to commit to actually like making sure you've got a decent enough webcam and just get one like nice light that you'll place behind your webcam and that makes all the difference. It can, that can turn you from like a really crappy looking video into something that's like quite passable and quite decent."
