Send us a note about this episode. We'll reply and thank you on a future episodeEvery communications campaign you have ever built had a choice architecture inside it. The order you sequenced your calls to action. The option you listed first in a petition. The default you set in an employee survey. The way you structured a crisis response. You made all of those decisions. Some of them deliberately. Most of them by instinct, habit, or convention. And the difference between those two things, between deliberate design and accidental design, is the difference between a campaign that moves people and one that wonders why nobody moved. This episode was recorded live on stage at the IABC World Conference in Toronto on June 14th, 2026, in front of an audience of communications professionals from around the world. Listen For4:20 What Choice Architecture Means5:52 The Default Effect6:50 Printer Defaults Example8:15 Removing Friction from Sign-Ups9:31 The EAST Framework Guest: Ann-Marie BlakeWebsite | True Website | LinkedInDougSubstack | Website | LinkedIn Are you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda challenges the belief that women are "too much" and explores how cultural conditioning teaches many women to shrink themselves to maintain acceptance and harmony. Drawing from personal experience, leadership research, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology, Andrea explains why visibility can feel unsafe, how self-silencing affects confidence and income, and why taking up space is often a nervous system challenge rather than a capability issue. She shares practical strategies for trusting your intuition, setting boundaries without over-explaining, and reclaiming your authority in business and life.

What if the real reason couples fight has nothing to do with communication… and everything to do with witness protection? Not government witness protection. Psychological witness protection.Meaning:Most people do not want intimacy nearly as much as they want controlled perception. That changes the entire conversation. Because now the relationship becomes the first environment where somebody can no longer fully manage how they are seen. Your partner eventually notices the insecurity beneath the confidence. The manipulation beneath the charm. The fear beneath the control. The performance beneath the spirituality. The exhaustion beneath the hyper-independence. And once somebody feels accurately seen, conflict becomes dangerous. Not because the argument hurts. Because exposure feels irreversible. Now look at modern dating through that lens. Suddenly emotional detachment becomes attractive because detached people reveal less. Hyper-independence becomes seductive because self-sufficiency minimizes psychological exposure. Strategic inconsistency creates intrigue because ambiguity prevents full emotional access. Narcissistic traits thrive because image control matters more than relational transparency. This means many relationships are not failing because people cannot communicate. They are failing because one or both people unconsciously experience being deeply known as a threat to survival. That is a radically different conversation. Especially when you realize social media intensified the problem. People now curate themselves professionally, spiritually, sexually, politically, aesthetically, emotionally. Entire identities function like public-relations campaigns. So the moment conflict reveals contradiction, immaturity, insecurity, jealousy, dependency, emotional need, or hypocrisy, the nervous system reacts as if reputation itself is under attack. Which means the average fight is no longer: “Who is right?” The average fight quietly becomes: “Can I survive your awareness of who I actually am?”

You've probably said it. And honestly, the evidence seems pretty hard to argue with. Newsrooms gutted, trust in tatters, cable news turned into a gladiator sport.  But what if that story, the one we keep telling about journalism, is itself bad journalism? Neil Brown thinks so. He's a 40-year editor and president of the Poynter Institute, and he is, by his own admission, an optimist about the media.

That Solo Life Episode 342: What the 2026 USC Global Communications Report Says About PR Today Episode Summary Karen and Michelle open with a question that lands before the intro music fades: When was the last time a client approved a statement without pushback? The answer tells you everything about the communications environment right now and so does the report they spend this episode unpacking. The USC Annenberg Center for Public Relations 2026 Global Communications Report, titled A Quiet Shift, surveyed over 700 PR professionals, more than 1,000 members of the general public, and conducted one-on-one interviews with Fortune 500 chief communications officers. Karen and Michelle read it with the solo and independent practitioner in mind and pull three findings that are immediately relevant to how you counsel clients, frame messages, and navigate a landscape that has shifted more dramatically in two years than many expected. A fourth and fifth finding will be covered in a future episode, and in an exclusive YouTube behind-the-mic segment, the co-hosts announce at the close. Episode Highlights [03:01] The Perception Gap — You Feel It More Than Your Clients Do: The report identifies a meaningful gap between how PR professionals perceive the current environment and how the general public does. 81% of PR professionals say polarization is extremely or very high right now — but only 69% of the general public agrees. That 12-point gap has practical implications for how practitioners advise clients. Karen asks the key question: are you advising clients based on your own anxiety about the landscape, or are you exercising the restraint that meets your audience where they actually are? The solo advantage here is real — without agency layers and group dynamics amplifying collective anxiety, solos have more room to reality-test their instincts before they become strategy. [08:52] Corporate Social Advocacy Has Retreated — Sharply and Fast: The data on this one is stark. In 2023 and 2024, 89% and 85% of PR professionals respectively, said companies have a responsibility to advocate for social issues. By 2026, that number has dropped to 55%. The general public sits even lower at 42%. The drop took two years. For practitioners working with nonprofits, purpose-driven brands, or clients whose missions touch social issues, the wind is no longer at your back — but it hasn't stopped blowing. The shift is not uniform: 6 in 10 Gen Z and 7 in 10 millennial PR professionals still hold this belief. Understanding your client's audience generation is now essential to calibrating how hard to push on purpose-driven messaging. [14:55] The Content That Disappeared After the 2024 Election — and What Replaced It: Using exclusive data from Cometrics.io, the report analyzed LinkedIn posts from 6,317 C-suite executives at Fortune 500 companies across a six-month window before and after the November 2024 election. The volume of communication stayed the same. The topics shifted dramatically. AI and agents content rose 75%. Cybersecurity up 29%. Technology ethics up 27%. On the other side: LGBTQ+ content dropped 77%. Greenhouse gas content down 50%. Net zero down 44%. DEI content down 13% — though Karen and Michelle both note that number is likely understated by now. A separate Meltwater analysis of media coverage tracked the same pattern. The practical implication: if your clients have content in the declining categories, the framing strategy has to change. The story doesn't stop — but how you tell it does. [20:08] What Solo PR Pros Do With This Information: Karen and Michelle close with the practitioner application: if a client's content falls in the declining categories, you don't stop. You reframe. You spend more time at the strategy table. You adjust how the message lands without abandoning who the client is. Michelle's reminder: your voice as a practitioner is still your voice. You navigate circumstances — you don't abandon your position. And if a client's business includes a credible AI story, tell it. If they aren't, others are telling it for them. Coming up: Karen and Michelle will cover additional findings from the USC report in an exclusive behind-the-mic YouTube segment for deeper discussion.

I would very like to get a review from you. Please send a note to me. Thanks, Peter! like to much appreciate a review from you!! Thank you!A crisis rarely starts with a press release. It starts with a moment you didn't plan for and a clock you can't slow down: a leadership scandal, a reputational hit, a cybersecurity breach, an accident, or a sudden financial shock. Peter Woolfolk talks with crisis preparedness expert Tara Goodman of Goodman Consulting to get brutally practical about what separates organizations that recover from those that spiral. The throughline is simple and uncomfortable: crisis management is not about avoiding problems, it's about how you show up when the problem arrives. She digs into the two readiness questions most leaders can't answer confidently: do you have a dedicated crisis team you can assemble immediately, and do you have a crisis communications plan that matches your real risk profile? From there, we talk about planning for scenarios leaders hate to imagine, including succession planning if a CEO or key executive is suddenly gone. You'll hear why transparency and authenticity are not “soft” ideas but core reputation management tools, and why employees are often the most overlooked audience in crisis communication, even though they can either stabilize the story or supercharge the rumor mill. The conversation also tackles modern crisis PR realities: what to do when leadership denial keeps a scandal simmering, how morality clauses and conduct expectations shape response options, and why cybersecurity and data breach response demands speed, forensic expertise, and meaningful support for affected people. We close with lessons from a high-pressure political crisis and a clear framework for taking control of your narrative so that what you say and what you do earns the right to be believed.

I would very like to get a review from you. Please send a note to me. Thanks, Peter! like to much appreciate a review from you!! Thank you!What happens when a PR firm has to earn its fee the same way it earns your coverage? We sit down with Dick Grove, a veteran of more than 50 years in media relations, to unpack pay-for-performance PR and why “getting paid for results” can be both brutally honest and surprisingly effective, especially for startups and smaller companies that cannot afford months of billable experimentation.Dick Grove shares with Peter Woolfolk how results-based public relations changes behavior: fewer scattershot pitches, more listening to what editors and producers actually need, and more pressure to find the real news hook fast. Dick explains why he built teams by hiring people straight out of the media, and how remote work made that possible. You will hear the practical side too: commission structures, lowered overhead, and the management habits that keep a distributed PR team feeling like a team, including in-person launch meetings, weekly check-ins, and shared lead networks.Then we tackle the hard part clients often avoid: “value” after the placement. A hit in Forbes or the Wall Street Journal is a platform, not a guarantee your phone lights up. We dig into expectation-setting, choosing the right outlets, earned media versus buying an ad, and why the myth of “great media relationships” collapses if the story does not resonate. If you care about PR measurement, media pitching strategy, and building credible content with a long tail, this conversation is for you.Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the episode with someone who buys PR, and leave a review with your take: should pay-for-performance be the default or the exception?

Since then, he has gone on to write roughly 700 articles on music, alternative history, spirituality and UFO's for such magazines as Magical Blend Magazine, UFO Magazine, Reggae Festival Guide, the Chico News & Review, and currently Phenomena Magazine online out of Scotland, among many others. He has written three books. The first is, Song in Your Heart: The Story of the Search for the Lost Note (2008), Volume I in a three-partseries titled, the Esoteric Guide to the Reggae Vibe series, illustrating the role of the “Roots Reggae Rasta” in terms of a global struggle for the control of human consciousness. Also, Lueder wrote, A UFO Hunter's Guide (2012), by Weiser Books in San Francisco. In it, he breaks down the muddled field of Ufology into processible chunks both highlighting the field's infamous history and the context with which a Ufologist finds themselves today. Unlike any other book on the market, it includes Tips from the Pros as many of today's top investigators contributed key facets of many techniques, approaches and strategies pertinent for the investigator. His third book, Agents of Ascension: UFO PR, was released inApril of 2025 and explores Public Relations; its role within a fabricated UFO mainstream narrative, it's occult roots born out of evil genius and its power of mass psychological and consciousness influence. Lueder has also produced several DVD sets including two double-disk sets of interviews with Speakers from the Bay Area UFO Expo titled, the Esoteric Guide to the Bay Area UFO Expo Volumes I & II. He has also produced a two-disk DVD set with booklet titled, Esoteric Guide presents…Inside Mt Shasta (2017),with two lectures and a booklet revolving around his work with the Ambassador of Telos, Dianne Robbins, highlighting, among other aspects of spirituality, the crossover between U Masters.Lueder has appeared on coast to coast Am two times, September 15, 2012 with Host John B.

Send us a note about this episode. We'll reply and thank you on a future episodeEvery PR professional has sat in a meeting where leaders ask you to “show up in AI”Here's the problem. The AEO/GEO industry has built an entire measurement apparatus around citations… the moment an AI visibly names your brand. But the research shows that moment is essentially an echo of a decision that was already made, upstream, in conversations that left no trace. Brands have been optimizing for the receipt, when the purchase decision happened days ago.The deeper irony is that the work which does move the needle in those invisible conversations looks exactly like what PR teams have always done. Original research. Expert voice. Earned credibility. Third-party validation. The toolkit that has historically been the hardest to attribute is, it turns out, the one doing the most work in the AI era. The people who were always right about what good looks like just never had the data to prove it… until now.Listen For3:35 Why Does AI Influence Start Before the Conversion Stage?7:41 Is AEO Really Just Earned Media Strategy in Disguise?10:09 What Are the Three Levers That Shape AI's View of a Brand?13:13 Are “Hey AI” Pages and Schema Tricks Ethical or Effective?15:49 How Can PR Teams Prove Earned Media Builds AI Influence? Guest: Tom Rudnai, Founder and CEO Demand-GeniusWebsite | X | LinkedIn DougSubstack | Website | LinkedIn Are you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

On the Saturday May 30, 2026 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we meet Andrew Lownie, renowned royal biographer and literary agent. A Cambridge history graduate and President of the Union, Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and founder of the Andrew Lownie Literary Agency, he’s known for his meticulously researched biographies that have reshaped our understanding of key 20th-century figures. His previous works include the acclaimed Stalin’s Englishman on Guy Burgess, The Mountbattens, and Traitor King on Edward VIII. His latest book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, is already being called one of the most explosive royal biographies in years. Today we’re talking about his latest book, “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” a book The Times called, “A catalyst for Andrew’s de-princing.” It is first joint biography of the Duke and Duchess of York, that’s Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, and the first full biography of either of them. Chronicling their lives in parallel, the picture that emerges is of a spoilt prince unable to connect and a duchess pushed by her insecurities into a desperate need to maintain the attention her ‘royal’ status brought. Rigorously researched and packed full of revelations, this is a royal biography Camilla Long, writing in the Sunday Times called, “a case for revolution.” Then, we meet Niagara-based wine, food, and travel expert Magdalena Kaiser. Daughter of the late Karl Kaiser (co-founder of Inniskillin Wines), she grew up immersed in Ontario’s wine scene—starting with tours and tastings as a teen and even helping bottle wine at age five. She serves as Director of Public Relations for Wine Country Ontario (formerly Ontario VQA), where she has spent the past 15+ years elevating the region’s international profile through media, trade, and export initiatives. Today we talk about her new book “Niagara Wine + Food: Signature Recipes from Ontario’s Iconic Terroir—A Cookbook” which highlights the region's terroir, varietals, and unique features, and profiles 44 of the region's best and most promising producers alongside 88 delectable wine-pairing recipes featuring iconic wine styles from the region.

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda challenges the idea that women should be able to “have it all” at the same time without sacrifice or tension. She explores how modern expectations around career, motherhood, relationships, wellness, and success have created unsustainable pressure for women, often leading to burnout, fragmentation, and guilt. Through personal experience and research-backed insights, Andrea reframes success through the lens of alignment and seasons, encouraging women to stop measuring themselves against impossible standards and instead make intentional choices based on what matters most in the current season of life....CHAPTERS00:00 The Pressure to Have It All02:18 Why Modern Expectations Are Unsustainable05:04 The Hidden Cost of Trying to Do Everything07:49 Redefining Success Through Seasons11:08 The Power of Trade-Offs and Intentional Choices14:10 Alignment vs External Validation17:02 Building a Life That Feels Like YoursRESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Business Audit⁠⁠⁠⁠TAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications and marketing.

As brands race to understand how they show up in generative AI and measure their visibility, many make strategic decisions based on incomplete data. A smart prompt framework can be the main ingredient for uncovering key narratives, filling visibility gaps and gaining share of answer. During this podcast, Coyne PR's Stacy Bataille, SVP, and Sierra L'Altrelli, VP of PR and analytics, provide a 360-degree master class to help you truly tap into the power of the prompt. They counsel on how to achieve the right language, tone and intent in all your prompts. They lay out the risks of having too narrow a set of prompts. They help you move beyond raw AI outputs to glean insight you can act on immediately. To top it all off, they lead an exercise in which a prompt is crafted on the spot — putting all the lessons on display for you to follow. The ability to prompt effectively will become — if it hasn't already — one of the most important skills a PR pro can master. This conversation will be a huge step in that direction for you.   PRWeek.comTheme music provided by TRIPLE SCOOP MUSICJaymes - First One Follow us: @PRWeekUSReceive the latest industry news, insights, and special reports.

And almost no one is talking about it.Tom Kean Jr. hasn't cast a vote since March 5. His team's answer? "Personal medical issue." "Back soon." "Trust us."That's not transparency. That's a cover-up with better branding.This episode breaks down the four things Kean's team is doing wrong, why "simulated presence" on social media erodes trust faster than silence ever could, and four predictions about where this story goes the second the news cycle quiets down.Inside the episode:Why "personal medical issue" stopped working around day 50The four specific moves Kean's team is making, and what each one signalsWhy "simulated presence" is the new crisis comms failureThe Princess Catherine parallel and what Kensington Palace eventually figured outFour predictions about what breaks next, including which party turns on him firstThe minimum disclosure every public figure owes the people who hired themPrivacy is a boundary.

Most AEC firms treat PR like a nice-to-have, something you think about after you've won the work. Julia Bonner, founder and president of Pierce Public Relations, has spent her career proving that's exactly backwards. In this conversation with Bryce, Julia gets into what strategic communications actually looks like for firms in the built environment and why the firms investing in their story now are the ones winning the work later. Pierce PR is a certified woman-owned boutique agency working with some of the most recognized names in AEC, Wold Architects and Engineers, ESa, Reeves Young, BELL Construction. Julia started her career in New York City with a master's degree from NYU, built a practice around the built environment, and has become one of Nashville's most recognized business leaders in the process. She's not talking about press releases and award submissions. She's talking about what it takes to build a brand that actually moves a business forward. This episode is for firm leaders who know their work speaks for itself and are starting to realize that might not be enough. About Julia Bonner: Julia Bonner is the founder and president of Pierce Public Relations, a certified woman-owned boutique PR and marketing agency specializing in the AEC and professional services industries. Her clients include Wold Architects and Engineers, ESa, Reeves Young, and BELL Construction. A Nashville-based leader, Julia holds an M.S. in Public Relations and Corporate Communication from NYU and a B.S. in Journalism from the University of Tennessee. She is a recipient of the Nashville Business Journal's Most Admired CEO Award (2024), Women of Influence Award (2020), and 40 Under 40 Award (2017), and has been named to the Nashville Post's "In Charge" list four consecutive years (2022-2025). Website: https://pierce-pr.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliaebonner/ What We Cover: Introduction and Julia's path from NYU and New York City to building Pierce PR in Nashville What PR and strategic communications actually means for AEC firms — beyond press releases and award submissions Why most firms in the built environment wait too long to invest in their brand What the best communicators in AEC do differently than everyone else How Julia has grown Pierce PR to represent some of the most recognized names in the industry What it means to run a woman-owned boutique agency in a historically male-dominated space Julia's community leadership — ULI Nashville, Young Leaders Council, Nashville Film Festival — and why she invests there What she's learned about leadership from building her own firm Where to find Pierce PR and what working with them looks like Key Takeaways: PR is not reactive — the firms using it strategically are building relationships and reputation before they ever need them Most AEC firms undersell themselves not because they lack good stories, but because they're too close to their own work to see what's remarkable about it A boutique agency in a specialized industry can outperform a generalist firm every time — because deep industry knowledge changes everything about how you tell the story Community investment isn't separate from business building — it's how the best leaders create lasting influence Running a woman-owned business in AEC requires both credibility and persistence in equal measure  

Charleston is often described by its charm and beauty, but this conversation looks at the city through a different lens: domestic space, hospitality, and the rhythms that shape how people feel inside a place.In this episode of Grandma's Silver, Allie Kochinsky sits down with Stacey Bodnar, Director of Marketing & Public Relations for Charming Inns, of which the John Rutledge House Inn belongs. The pair talk about what it means to operate a historic house as a living environment rather than simply a hotel. Together, they explore how architecture influences behavior, why porches—nay, piazzas—remain powerful social spaces, and how atmosphere can subtly alter our sense of time and connection.From summer mornings and daily rituals to the emotional pacing of historic interiors, this conversation examines why certain places stay with us long after we leave them, and what Charleston reveals about hospitality at its best.Topics covered include:Historic homes as lived environmentsSouthern porch culture and social connectionHospitality as rhthym and ritualAtmosphere, pacing, and memoryWhy summer in Charleston feels distinctRESOURCES:Visit the John Rutledge House Inn's website here.Follow along on Instagram and/or Facebook.Read about Charleston!Start here: www.arcadiapublishing.com/GRANDMILLENNIALCode: GRANDMILLENNIALIf you enjoy Grandma's Silver, follow the podcast and share this episode with a friend who loves heritage, design, and timeless living.

Send us a note about this episode. We'll reply and thank you on a future episodeThere is a prayer that crisis communicators have been quoting for decades. “Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”It sounds right. It feels grounding. But maybe it's been pointing us in the wrong direction the whole time. The problem is the concept of CONTROL. Because control, in a crisis, is a myth. And every strategy built on the assumption that you can control the outcome of a crisis is a strategy built on sand. Let's replace that idea with INFLUENCE. Doing that replaces an entire philosophy.Alongside that shift comes something more uncomfortable… the suggestion that when a crisis hits, the quality of your advice has almost nothing to do with your frameworks, your playbook, or your years of experience. It has to do with who you are as a human being. As a parent. As a citizen. As a person who is also living through the same world your client is trying to navigate. The professional and the person are not separate. And pretending they are, may be the most dangerous crisis communication strategy of all. Listen For3:41 Why Are Global Risks Becoming More Connected and Harder to Manage?6:09 Is Employee Mental Health a Bigger Business Risk Than AI?9:32 Why Do Companies Know the Risks but Still Fail to Prepare?11:20 What Is “Agency” in Crisis Communications and Why Does It Matter?14:29 How Can Leaders Use Empathy and Understanding to Respond to a Crisis?Guest: Rod Cartwright, Principal, Rod Cartwright ConsultingEmail | Website | LinkedIn 2026 Reputation, Risk, and Resilience Report DougSubstack | Website | LinkedIn Are you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

Independent films and film festivals are thriving in Louisiana, and on this episode of Discover Lafayette, we welcome three passionate advocates helping shape the future of filmmaking across the state: Southern Screen Festival Founder and Executive Director Julie Bordelon; filmmaker and Director of Public Relations for the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival, Jenika Kolacz; and Lafayette native Kelly Swift, Film Programming Director for Manship Theatre and Events Director for the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival. The conversation explores Louisiana's growing independent film ecosystem, the importance of film festivals in building creative communities, and the realities filmmakers face trying to sustain careers in the state. Julie Bordelon, founder of Southern Screen Festival, reflects on how she entered the industry without formal film school training, learning production hands-on while working in Lafayette during the height of Louisiana's film production boom. “I had no clue what I was doing,” she says of her early days in production. “By the middle of the first film, I was a department head.” Bordelon later served as an entertainment liaison for the City of Lafayette, helping support Louisiana's tax incentive initiatives for film, music, and digital media before launching Southern Screen Festival nearly sixteen years ago. Southern Screen Festival was born out of a desire to create opportunities for local artists and filmmakers in Acadiana. “I pulled them all on to the board and started the Southern Screen Festival without knowing at all what I was doing,” Bordelon recalls. “Just trying to make a scene for us and for other artists and creatives.” In its 16th year, the festival will be held November 19-22, 2026. Learn more at Southern Screen. Today, Southern Screen Festival has evolved into a year-round, multidisciplinary arts organization that extends far beyond its annual November festival. The organization now presents film screenings, workshops, networking mixers, writing programs, pop-up events, live podcasts, and music showcases designed to strengthen Louisiana's creative economy and connect local artists with national industry professionals. Southern Screen Festival has become one of Louisiana's most respected independent arts festivals, attracting filmmakers, musicians, producers, writers, editors, and storytellers from around the world to downtown Lafayette every November. The four-day festival features international screenings, panels, workshops, live performances, parties, and filmmaker networking events designed to create what Bordelon calls “a festival for filmmakers and for artists.” The festival remains intentionally non-competitive, allowing filmmakers at every level to feel equally supported and accessible to one another. Over the years, Southern Screen Festival has welcomed an impressive lineup of industry guests, including Tom Kenny, editor Javier Marcheselli of “Blade Runner 2049” and “Dune,” “Family Guy” writer and actor Alex Borstein, and producer Monty Ross of “Malcolm X.” Bordelon explains that Southern Screen Festival intentionally creates opportunities for festival attendees to interact directly with accomplished industry professionals in workshops and conversations without barriers or gatekeepers. One of the festival's newest expansions is particularly exciting for Acadiana's growing animation community. Southern Screen Festival recently announced plans to partner with UL-Lafayette on a brand-new animation festival launching in April 2027. The event will feature curated animation screenings, educational panels, artist talks, and hands-on learning opportunities aimed at students, emerging creators, and animation fans of all ages. During the interview, Bordelon explains that the idea grew directly out of audience demand for more animation programming at Southern Screen Festival. Southern Screen's commitment to education also includes its expanding student film initiatives. The organization hosts student workshops and showcases for Acadiana students in grades six through twelve, encouraging young creatives to experiment with filmmaking while gaining exposure to professional industry environments. Bordelon also discussed her work through Create Louisiana, which provides grants, mentorship, and creative support to Louisiana filmmakers and artists statewide. The episode also shines a spotlight on the rapid rise of the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival, known as BRUFF. Launched in 2025 at Manship Theatre in downtown Baton Rouge, the festival sold out its inaugural year and immediately established itself as a major gathering point for Louisiana's independent film community. The festival celebrates indie and genre-focused filmmaking while creating opportunities for networking, collaboration, and hands-on education. Kelly Swift describes BRUFF as “a film festival for filmmakers by filmmakers,” with programming that intentionally supports student filmmakers, first-time directors, emerging artists, and seasoned professionals equally. Last year's inaugural festival featured more than 50 independent films, educational panels, networking opportunities, workshops, and afterparties throughout downtown Baton Rouge. Organizers say one of the most rewarding aspects was watching filmmakers from Louisiana connect organically with artists visiting from Florida, Texas, Georgia, New York, California, and beyond. This year, the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival will be held from August 27 – 30, 2026. Festival passes start at $30, with full access available for $75. Visit BRUFF for more information. Jenika Kolacz notes that BRUFF's mission goes beyond screenings. “We really want to celebrate independent filmmaking as a whole,” she explains, emphasizing the importance of creating spaces where filmmakers can collaborate, share resources, and build careers together. The festival's organizers also experimented this year with a free FilmFreeway submission day to eliminate financial barriers for filmmakers who might otherwise be unable to afford festival fees. The guests also discuss the broader challenges facing Louisiana's film industry, including fluctuating production levels, workforce sustainability, and the need to better support local filmmakers, not just outside productions utilizing Louisiana tax credits. “Those local filmmakers, those are the people we need to be supporting,” Bordelon says. Despite the challenges, the episode is ultimately an optimistic look at Louisiana's creative future. Whether through Southern Screen Festival's expansion into animation and year-round programming, or BRUFF's fast-growing grassroots momentum in Baton Rouge, all three guests emphasize the same goal: creating spaces where Louisiana filmmakers can collaborate, learn, experiment, and build sustainable creative careers right here at home.

If you've ever felt pressure to hold it together after loss, Episode 430 of the Grief and Happiness podcast is for you. Widow, author, and mentor Lisa Woolery shares the unfiltered reality of grief — from bank meltdowns to ill-fated dating attempts — and makes a compelling case for why laughter is one of the most powerful healing tools available. Giving yourself permission to be a hot mess, she says, is the first step toward your comeback.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:52) From Southern California to Kansas City: the sudden loss that changed everything(03:42) Why most grief books fall short and what Lisa did differently(05:11) Writing funny chapters about grief's most painful moments(07:46) Why laughing without guilt is a powerful grief recovery tool(10:12) Dating as a widow: sharing her lowest moments so others feel less alone(13:22) Emily's story: finding love again after swearing she never would(14:01) The dream that gave Lisa permission to move forward(16:55) Why widows must stop judging each other's grief journeys(18:35) What not to say to a widow — and what actually helps(19:55) You can handle anything, but you don't have to do it all(22:50) Why Lisa keeps saying yes to new adventuresLisa Woolery is a widow, author, and widow mentor based in Kansas City, Missouri, raising two teenagers and three dogs after losing her husband Eric suddenly — just eight months after their family relocated from Southern California. A former Vice President of Public Relations at Wells Fargo, Lisa channeled her grief into The Widow's Comeback, an International Impact Award-winning memoir about her first two years of widowhood, alongside a grief calendar workbook, guided journal, and an active Facebook community for widows.In this episode, Lisa shares why she wrote her memoir with raw honesty and deliberate humor — a direct response to the sugar-coated grief narratives she encountered after Eric's death. From laugh-out-loud chapters about bank meltdowns to candid reflections on the guilt-laden process of dating again, she shows how comedy and self-permission became essential tools in her healing. The conversation closes on Lisa's most powerful takeaway: that she can handle anything, but doesn't have to do everything alone — and that while the "hot mess" phase is real, it doesn't last forever.Connect with Lisa Woolery:WebsiteFacebookInstagramBooks: Lisa Woolery - The Widow's Comeback Series Let's Connect: WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTwitterPinterestThe Grief and Happiness AllianceBook: Emily Thiroux Threatt - Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief Hosted on Acast.

What do a Patriots head coach, a country legend, and a Hollywood power couple have in common? They all just gave us a master class in what trust actually is. Or isn't. The thread connecting this week's stories is the difference between managing a message and actually meaning it.This week's roundup isn't about three scandals. It's about one question every leader eventually has to answer: Did you tell them the truth, or did you tell them what you thought would work?The cases:Mike Vrabel and the Patriots are managing three crises stacked on top of each other, and they're treating it like one. Dolly Parton released a direct-to-camera health update because her sister Frida was already posting prayer requests on Facebook. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds quietly settled with Justin Baldoni. No money, ten of thirteen claims thrown out. Same day, Blake walks the Met Gala carpet in archival Versace with a thirteen-foot train and a bespoke purse that turned out not to be bespoke.The thread: Each crisis fell apart for the same reason. The response didn't match the record. Dolly's worked because she's never faked it. Vrabel's hasn't because everything keeps dripping. Blake and Ryan haven't because the machine they built to make themselves beloved finally turned on them.The takeaway: Trust isn't a strategy. It's a track record. When you've never faked it, you don't have to prove you're being real. When you have, every move you make in the moment looks like another move.Mentioned in this episode:May 14th Substack deep dive on Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Justin Baldoni (Thursday, 12:00 PM).
