Since the start of the pandemic, more than 90 colleges have merged or closed permanently. One of these schools, Lincoln College, closed its doors with only about one month's notice in May of 2022 — after 157 years. Due to the pandemic and a ransomware attack, administrators say the school was unable to retain, recruit, or fundraise. Since then, students have been left scrambling and many have dropped out. Alan Jinich and Max Strickberger, recent graduates of the University of Pennsylvania and producers of the Generation Pandemic Project about the impact of Covid on young people around the country, set out to follow this story last year. Lincoln College was a small private college in central Illinois — the only school named after Abraham Lincoln in his lifetime. But instead of attracting local students, the school drew many from three hours north: Chicago's south and west sides. More than 40% were first generation college students and, even though the town is 95% white, the university was a Predominantly Black Institution. Students, alumni, and faculty described the community as deeply closeknit and, for many, a “second chance.” For some, it was also a refuge from gun violence. After the sudden closure announcement, dozens of students confronted President David Gerlach expressing grief, frustration, and concern over what might happen to those who didn't have a safe home to return to. It was the start of a fundraising predicament that drove a wedge between students' grassroots efforts and administrators. How much money is enough to stay open? What's at stake for Lincoln's brittle economy? We follow voices from across the community — professors, administrators, locals, students dispersed across the Midwest, and a member of Lincoln's last graduating class. More than a year after closing, many continue to reel. The campus is still up for sale, but a new vision for Lincoln may soon be on the horizon. Produced by Alan Jinich and Max Strickberger with soundtracks by Reed Rosenbluth and support from the Sachs Program for Arts Innovation.

Imagine journeying from the brave world of firefighting into the creative realm of podcasting. That's exactly what our guest, Corey Paul, did. Corey is a testament to the transformative power of podcasting and entrepreneurship. This episode is ripe with insights from Corey's journey and his book 'Path to Podcast Success'. The book captures his experiences and learnings while working with giants like Google and PRX. We delve into Corey's interesting history and his quest for financial literacy. Have you ever wondered how mindfulness can help overcome challenges and help you find your purpose? Corey answers this by sharing his experiences from the Google/ PRX Fellowship program. He reiterates the importance of determination and tenacity, two qualities that played a crucial role in his success. We also touch upon the significance of community-building and continual education, with Corey recounting an inspiring networking story with the CEO of PRX. This intriguing conversation led to her writing the foreword of his book.We then transition into how empathy and understanding your audience can lead to better content creation. We discuss the vital role of standard operating procedures (SOPs) in podcasting and how these SOPs can help in delegation and creating an efficient workflow. Lastly, we highlight the balancing act required to manage a business, a team, and a personal life. Drawing from his personal experiences, Corey shares his insights on how to optimize time and strike the right balance. Be it a budding podcaster or a seasoned entrepreneur, this episode has something for everyone to take away.Support the show

Earlier this year, we told the story of how a change in the White House had the potential to turn the tide for Black communities fighting against more environmental pollution in one of the country's largest hotspots for toxic air — Louisiana's industrial corridor nicknamed Cancer Alley.The Environmental Protection Agency's new leader pledged to use all the tools in his toolbox to deliver "environmental justice," and his agency launched a groundbreaking investigation into alleged civil rights violations by the state. Environmental advocates thought it could be the moment everyone waited for after years of debate over discrimination.Then, out of the blue, the EPA dropped its high-profile investigation without any resolution. It blindsided everyone.Today on Louisiana Considered, we bring you the latest episode of Sea Change, where we go back to Louisiana's industrial corridor to try to find some answers. Why when the EPA was on the cusp of reforming the petrochemical state of Louisiana did it just... back off? Turns out, the implications are even bigger than we imagined. Far bigger than Louisiana.To listen to the full episode of Sea Change, click here. A special thanks to Robert Taylor of the Concerned Citizens of St. John, Sharon Lavigne of Rise St. James, Lisa Jordan of the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic, Monique Harden of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice and Carlton Waterhouse of Howard University School of Law's Environmental and Climate Justice Center for speaking with us.This episode was hosted and reported by Halle Parker.

Today marks the beginning of a whole new industry here in the Gulf of Mexico: offshore wind energy. The Biden administration opened the first-ever wind lease sale in the Gulf, and 300,000 acres of the Gulf will be auctioned off. Companies will now bid for the rights to put giant wind turbines off the coast of southwest Louisiana and east Texas. It's a big day to say the least. And there's been a whole lot of excitement leading up to the lease sale. It even has bipartisan support. And this could just be the start. To understand how we got here, today, we are bringing you an episode from our friends at New Hampshire Public Radio's podcast Outside/In. The episode is from a series called Windfall. Picture this: thousands of wind turbines off the Atlantic coast, each one taller than the Washington Monument. Offshore wind is seen as an essential solution to climate change and poised for explosive growth in the United States. How did we get to a moment of such dramatic change? Windfall is the story of a promising renewable technology and the potential of wind power in a changing climate. It's a story about who has the power to reshape our energy future. Featuring: Henrik Stiesdal, Bryan Wilson, and Bob Grace. Part 1 of 5. Listen to the rest of the series here. Sea Change is distributed by PRX and is a part of the NPR Podcast Network.

On today's episode of the podcast I'm sharing my August 2023 profit report. I do these every month to show an example of how you can go about budgeting and understanding your numbers while also giving a real life example of how much it costs to run a business. It is important to note that my business is not indicative of every kind of business. Whether you do or don't have a team and depending on how much you do or do not work, how many ads you run, if you have a product or service based business, those are all factors that impact how much it costs to run your business. Let's start by recapping my 2023 goals: 1. Consistent $20,000 months by Q3. We're ahead of schedule! We hit it this month so we are at 6 out of 8 months so far this year. Yay! 2. Get MRR to $20,000 by end of year. It wasn't necessarily a realistic goal to begin with, more to strive towards that. Definitely not going to happen this year, especially based on ways we've restructured programs and payment plans. It's probably going to replace goal #1 in 2024. 3. Get expenses under 35%. YTD, I'm at like 41%. Got some work to do. It's crept up a bit more with some big expenses. Probably going to have to pivot to a 40% goal Here's what happened in August Delivered first batch of Trademark Quickies and onboarded new clients Started Fall cohort of Unf*ck Your Biz Ran an affiliate contest August projected vs. actual revenue Low Ticket - $3,000 → $2,200 $1,000 more than last month But far less affiliate sales than expected. Need to give more notice and we had some link issues. $1,600 from Contract Club UYB - $8,000 → $1,350 (way off) Some lessons learned here. Was hopeful I could maybe do 4 launches a year, but I'm probably going to need to scale it back to 2. The program works best for everyone with at least 15 students. Ideally 20-30. PRx - $5,000 → $4,600 Our alumni program for Unf*ck Your Biz, we already have about 50 members. Tax Stuff - $1,000 → $4,000 Apparently, I haven't really paid attention to how much MRR we have here because we have at least $3,000 from monthly bookkeeping clients and we have pretty good retention. Legal Stuff - $7,000 → $11,600 $9,000 of this was Trademarks. About spot on, but we did 5 marks for one client Consults - $0 → $0 Total: $24,150 → $25,129 Expenses Total → $13.000 (my highest month of the year so far) Team contractors - $865 Employee wages - $2,600 (Pretty standard. This does not include my wages) Outside contractor expenses - $1,500 This was the first of two $1,500 installments for a project I hired a contractor to do. Not ready yet to disclose this project. Owner wages - $2,900 (what I pay myself) Owner tax - $2,500 (goes to the IRS) Monthly tools - $850 (I paid a $300 annual expense which arguably shouldn't go in monthly tools) Insurance: $45 for now (will be going up soon) Marketing - $500 Meals - $48 Online programs - $453 Client fees - $2,500 (These are the trademark filing fees. I bake this into the price of my trademark services flat fee the client pays and then I pay the fee) Other expenses: $3,200 (These were travel expenses. I am flying to Puerto Rico at the end of October through beginning of November to speak at the Association of Bridal Consultants conference and then the week after that I'm going to Wedding MBA and am covering the flights for two of my team members who are also coming). Affiliate payouts - $368 Expenses were 52% of revenue went to expenses this month so a profit of 48% so 8% higher than where I'd like it to be but really I'd like it to be at 35%, not 40%. Upcoming Expenses Another $1500 to contractor $1500 to Vegas hotels and flights $1000ish in swag orders for Wedding MBA Upcoming Projects Doing a big affiliate push in October (meaning a higher projection of low ticket sales in October over September) A potential exciting update with the Contract Club to make it even better, which also means a big expense Working on Profit Rx My projected revenue for September Low Ticket: $1,500 UYB: $1,400 PRx: $4,000 Legal: $8,600 (6 trademarks) Tax: $3,000 Consults: $0 Total: $18,500 Want to see my actual books (and maybe even watch me update it live) for free?

It's summertime. Most of us hope to spend time on the beach, or by a river, or a pool, and we thought we'd try to understand why? Why do we want to be by water, and why does it make us feel so good? And it's not just us. Understanding how the power of water makes us healthier and happier is actually a growing field of research. Today, we're diving into our human connection to oceans and how we can harness that love of water to help us protect the largest gulf in the world -- our own Gulf of Mexico. Last week on Louisiana Considered, we heard from Wallace J. Nichols, author of the book “Blue Mind,” about how being around water changed us. Today, in part 2, we hear from deep sea explorer Mandy Joye about the wonders hidden in the Gulf of Mexico and what we can do to save them. Today's episode was hosted by Carlyle Calhoun.

It's August 17th. This day in 1979, a young college student by the name of James Dallas Egber III disappeared into a steam tunnel below his university, intending to commit suicide. But the story of his disappearance became a media - and moral - panic because of his affinity for the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss what we know and don't know about Egber's troubled life, and why the D&D narrative was so pervasive. Sign up for our newsletter!

It's August 15th. This day (actually Aug 10th) in 1846, President Polk signed into law a bill establishing the Smithsonian Institution, after almost a decade of squabbling about how the United States would use the money donated to it by Englishman James Smithson. Jody, NIki, and Kellie discuss the various ways in which the Smithsonian money could have been spent, why it was used the way it was — and whether the currrent institution honors Smithson's original vision.

A Week In Watches returns with a look at a plethora of new releases that include updates from Christopher Ward, Glashütte Original, Nomos, and Tissot. Everyone has a new dial color or case size, it would seem, but they all work well here, bringing new renditions to old favorites, and further dialing in already great platforms. The big news this week comes from Longines, who redesigned their HydroConquest family with a new collection of GMT watches. Unique colorways and a few odd details on the dial preserve some of that classic HydroConquest character, while showing some serious sings of maturity in the process.In other news, we're about a year away from the 2024 summer Olympic games in Paris, and Omega is ready to kick things off with a new Seamaster 300commemorating the games. Omega and the Olympics go way back, like way way back, so it's no surprise to see Omega getting a head start on things with a new LE, and we suspect that this won't be the last to do so.Finally, can you ever have too much of a good thing? Tissot doesn't think so, and just keeps iterating on the wildly popular PRX range, most recently with new dial colors and even a fully gold plated example in their 35mm Powermatic 80 PRX line. It should come as no surprise that they work rather well. Catch more details on these watches in our full intro.Reminder that you can catch us again in 2 weeks for more watches, people, and news in episode 62 of A Week In Watches.

On Sundays this summer, we're bringing you some of our favorite episodes from the archives. We'll continue to do new episodes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Happy summer! /// It's August 10th. This day in 2006, Virginia Senator George Allen is caught on tape referring to S.R. Sidarth, a young man filming his event, as “macaca.” This video became an early viral moment and helped lead to Allen's defeat later that fall — showing how viral video could transform politics. Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Peter Hamby of Snapchat and Puck News to discuss the incident, how the internet was changing politics in the mid-2000s, and whether Allen's comments would have been so controversial today.

It's August 10th. In 1984, at the LA Olympics, South African Zola Budd and American Mary Decker are facing off in the incredibly hyped-up 3000m final. But neither would finish, as Budd tripped Decker with just a couple laps to go. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss why this was such a dramatic moment — not just on the track, but geopolitically.

On today's episode, I share my Profit Report, breaking down how much I earned, what my expenses were, and if I reached my monthly profit projects. The doors will be opening next week to join a mini cohort of the next round of Unf*ck Your Biz (by mini we mean an intimate group of 10 - 20). Be the first to learn when it opens by visiting unfuckyourbiz.com. The program includes access to the six part framework that covers bookkeeping, saving and paying quarterly taxes, saving and paying for back taxes, sales tax, LLC and S Corp formation and cash flow. It includes group coaching and 1-to-1 elements like bookkeeping office hours. Let's start by recapping my 2023 goals: 1. Consistent $20,000 months by Q3. We're ahead of schedule! 5 consecutive months now. I shared last month that I was fully expecting a dip in June and July goes as they're typically the slowest months of the year, but I still wanted to shoot for 20k. I ran an end-of-the-month promotion. Didn't quite get there this month but hopefully will be get back to it in August and beyond. 2. Get MRR to $20,000 by end of year. We're pivoting that to a 2024 goal. Maybe. 3. Get expenses under 35%. YTD, I'm at 42%. Got some work to do. It's crept up a bit more with some big expenses. Here's what happened in July My team and I had quiet weeks All blogs have been moved over from bradendrake.com to notavglaw.com and redirects have been set up We wrapped up another round of Unf*ck You Biz Opened up access to Profit Rx which is now the alumni program for Unf*ck Your Biz July projected vs. actual revenue Low Ticket - $1,500 → $1,420 Book sales - $150 → $120 UYB - $6,000 → $2,700 PRx - $5,000 → $5,200 Tax Stuff - $2,000 → $2,700 Legal Stuff - $6,000 → $4,400 Consults - $0 → $0 Affiliate - $500 Total → $20,650 → $17,100 Expenses Total → $7,000 (41% of revenue) Team contractors - $206 Employee wages - $1,600 (We had quiet weeks in July and also worked on a big project in June that accounted for significantly more employee expenses in June) Contractor expenses - $2500 went to a one-off project with a contractor to create a bookkeeping tracking system for Profit Rx members on AirTable to help us track streaks of weekly bookkeeping Owner wages - $4,300 (what I paid myself) Owner tax - $2,600 (goes to the IRS) Monthly tools - $650 Marketing - $1,000 (a lot went to my Conference Confident sponsorship for Wedding MBA) Online programs - $364 Affiliate payouts - $338 What we're currently working on Revamping our affiliate program A potential exciting update with the Contract Club to make it even better Re-opening UYB Welcoming new Profit Rx members My projected revenue for August Low Ticket - $3,000 (we're doing a big affiliate push this month) Book sales - $150 UYB - $8,000 (My goal this launch is three pay in full students and seven payment plan students) PRx - $5,000 (This estimate is going up because I think we will get some new members from the most recent round of Unf*ck Your Biz) Tax Stuff - $1,000 Legal Stuff - $7,000 (I have several trademark clients coming up) Consults - $0 → $0 Total: $24,150. My goal is $27,000 This is when I typically I ask myself, "Is there anything I can do to make up the difference between my projection and my goal?" I can push my current promotions a bit harder. Because UYB is a mini launch, I'm not going above and beyond on promotion because I don't want to fatigue my audience going all in another launch. Year to Date (YTD) Last year we made $168,000 and this year I made my stretch goal to be $300,000 which is 1.7x more so the way I did my goals per month this year was I took my revenue from each month last year and I multiplied it by 1.7. Last year we made roughly $15,000. Multiple that by 1.7 and you get roughly $27,000. I have an over/under on where we are for the year. YTD we are $4,000 over on those projected goals. What's coming up We're launching the next round of Unf*ck Your Biz (learn more at unfuckyourbiz.com) -‐‐‐------------------ Want to see my actual books (and maybe even watch me update it live) for free?

It was top secret. But everyone in Santa Fe knew there was something going on up on the hill in the remote, desert mountains of Los Alamos in 1943. J. Robert Oppenheimer and dozens of the top scientists and thinkers in the world were sequestered away up there - fenced in, with military guard towers all around. But there was one little sanctuary down along the river where they could escape and find solace, nature, normalcy —Edith Warner's Tea House. Edith Warner's small, rustic home and her legendary flourless chocolate cake brought solace to members of the Manhattan Project as they secretly worked to build the atomic bomb - reshaping the future of modern warfare. When they weren't at the lab, there was a good chance that Robert Oppenheimer and his colleagues were at Edith's tea room, savoring the fresh vegetables she grew in her garden and the chance to disconnect from the unimaginable weight of their task. Through Edith's eyes and the civilian bystanders who witnessed this extraordinary effort we see these souls in their last mundane moments before man and god bled together forever. Produced by Brandi Howell, Mary Franklin Harvin, and Zoe Kurland Special thanks to Jon Else, Meridel Rubenstein, Patty Templeton, Nick Lewis, Steven Horak from the Los Alamos National Lab, to Sharon Snyder and the staff of the Los Alamos Historical Society,  Ellen Bradbury Reed, and Paul Rainbird. The Kitchen Sisters Present, part of PRX's Radiotopia, is produced by The Kitchen Sisters (Nikki Silva & Davia Nelson) with Brandi Howell and Nathan Dalton.

This show is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX. This episode was originally released in November, 2015. Music * Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth's Modesty Blaise score. * They first meet to a piece called Brouillard (version 1) from Georges Delaure's extraordinary score to Jules et Jim. (A second version comes in later when J.J. Audubon is living the high life in England). * We also hear Waltz by Mother Falcon. * I go back to the Marcelo Zarvos/Please Give well when the Scotsman arrives at their store. Note: it's the go-to soundtrack for “People Arriving at One's Store With A Life Changing Proposition” here at the Memory Palace. Also: go watch Please Give. * The little piano piece is from Nathan Johnson's score to The Day I Saw Your Heart. * Lucy and John titter like plovers to Andrew Cyrille's dope, skittering drums on Nuba 1. * The especially sad bit, right before the end is Dream 3 (in the Midst of my Life), from Max Richter's giant, From Sleep album. * A couple times, including the ending, we hear “the Lark Ascending” from Ralph Vaughn Willliams. It is beautiful. You should buy it. Notes As per usual, I read a lot about the Audubons and the Bakewells. I relied most upon the charming and smart, On the Road with John James Audubon by Mary Durant, and Carolyn DeLatte's lovely, thoughtful book, Lucy Audubon: a Biography. * Just a quick note: there's a very enjoyable PBS/American Masters/Nature documentary about Audubon. It's a fun and informative watch. But, I'll say, you come out of that thinking that things were fundamentally swell between Lucy and John in a way that I'm not entirely sure is supported by the facts. Or jibes with, you know, human nature.

It's July 20th. This day in 1945, a petition signed by 70 scientists working on the development of nuclear weapons is circulating in Washington — a petition arguing against the plans to drop weapons on Japan. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss the Szilard Petition, how it reflected the deep moral wrestling taking place among the scientific community, and why it ultimately did not make it to President Truman's desk.

But one day, Alia discovered something about her mom's business that turned her secret into a burden that was far more painful than she could have imagined.

It's summertime! Which means the Ear Hustle team is off cooking up a new batch of stories for our next season — Season 12 — launching September 6. In the meantime, we're bringing you an episode from one of our favorite new podcasts, Violation. The series revisits a 1986 murder case, in which 16-year-old Jacob Wideman — son of award-winning author John Edgar Wideman — fatally stabbed his summer camp roommate. Violation explores the parole process, examining who pulls the levers of power in our criminal system. Violation is a production of WBUR, Boston's NPR, and The Marshall Project. Ear Hustle is a proud member of Radiotopia, from PRX.
