You follow Demetri Papanicolau's winding path from Fidelity financial consultant to full-time booking agent and working musician, discovering how taking risks, saying yes to scary gigs, and learning from every stage moment shaped his career. You hear how singing AC/DC and Zeppelin in high school, drilling Beatles harmonies, and navigating the evolution from originals to covers built the chops he still relies on today. As you ride through stories of surprise band formations, COVID-era pivots, and the birth of Rotten Apple, you're reminded that you must Always Be Performing, even when the gig you expected turns into something entirely different. You also step inside Demetri's world at Notso Costley Productions, where booking is equal parts diplomacy, coaching, and reading the room. He breaks down what venues actually want, what musicians consistently get wrong, and how reliability wins more than draw. You learn how he balances the needs of solos, duos, trios, and full bands; why non-verbal communication and a good hang matter; how to build an EPK that gets you on a roster; and what happens when rates rise across the scene. Through it all, Demetri shows how being both booker and performer lets him guide bands and venues toward smoother nights, stronger partnerships, and gigs that keep everyone coming back. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 512 – Monday, December 15th, 2025 December 15th: National Cupcake Day Guest co-host: Demetri Papanicolau from Notso Costley Productions NAMM coming up!

In this explosive episode, Johnny sits down with Aaron Peila — a former multi-state Oxy distributor who survived five brutal years inside USP Victorville, one of the deadliest federal prisons in America. From running a massive opioid pipeline across Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest to navigating the violent racial politics of high-security federal lockup, Aaron pulls no punches as he breaks down his story in raw, unfiltered detail. Aaron explains how he built an oxy empire during the height of the opioid boom, how pills flowed through dirty doctors and retirement communities, and why markets like Alaska were paying exorbitant prices. He also opens up about the corruption inside the Bureau of Prisons, the influx of contraband phones after COVID, and what it really takes to survive in a place where everyone has a weapon and people get stabbed regularly. From music-industry ambitions and touring with rap artists…to DEA pressures, federal enhancements, snitches, RICO fears, and the three overdose deaths that nearly put him away for life… to trying to rebuild a life after 14 years inside a system designed to break you — this is one of the most gripping redemption-arc interviews we've ever had. If you want a real look into the American opioid era and the prison machine that chews up everyone involved, this episode is it. Go Support Aaron!

In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, Karen McMahon sits down with divorce attorney Andrea Vacca, Esq. to explore the unique pressures of the holiday season when you're considering divorce. This is the stage where uncertainty weighs heavily, information is still being gathered, and you may not be ready—or safe—to share your plans with anyone. Family gatherings, traditions, and expectations continue around you, even as you quietly wonder what the new year will bring. Karen and Andrea bring compassionate clarity to this "secret season," discussing how to stay grounded, make strategic decisions, and approach the holidays with intention rather than panic. They dive into the five common fears that surface during this time: the fear of not holding it together in front of family, making the wrong decision under holiday pressure, being discovered before you're ready, facing financial fallout in the new year, and feeling responsible for disrupting your children's sense of family or holiday joy. Through their conversation, you'll learn how to navigate family events without revealing too much, maintain your boundaries when emotions run high, and distinguish between reacting emotionally and preparing strategically. Karen and Andrea also discuss how to gather information safely and privately during the holiday season and how to use quiet moments and year-end reflection to get grounded. They explain why January is often the month of decisions and how to enter it with confidence and clarity. The episode naturally leads into Andrea's Pre-Divorce Guidance Package, offering legal clarity alongside emotional and strategic support so that listeners can move into the new year equipped, confident, and prepared to make informed choices about their future. This conversation is essential listening for anyone navigating the complexities of divorce while managing the emotional and practical pressures of the holiday season.

Send us a textIn this episode, Matt sits down with "Putting Guru" Preston Combs, owner of Preston's Putting, for a deep dive into the art and science of rolling the rock. Whether you are a gear junkie obsessed with the latest Zero Torque putters or a player struggling to read greens, this conversation covers it all. Preston debunks the myths about AimPoint, explains how to properly test a putter before buying it, and takes Matt through a live lesson that transforms his setup.In This Episode, We Cover:The Truth About AimPoint: Preston explains why AimPoint is suitable for beginners and high-handicappers, not just pros. He also debunks the myth that AimPoint slows the game, noting that a proper read should take only about 10 to 12 seconds.Green Books vs. Feel: While Green Books are great for approach shots, Preston explains why relying on them solely for putting can be tricky due to angle variationsThe "Zero Torque" Debate: Do you actually need a Zero Torque putter? Preston reveals that while they help some, they can hurt players who rely on torque for feel in transition.How to Buy a Putter: Don't just grab what's popular. Preston shares a drill that uses a quarter or a dime to test start lines in the store before you drop hundreds of dollars.Blade vs. Mallet: Why "cavity back" putters might be hiding your mistakes and why some pros are sticking to blades for better feedback.The "Base Stroke" System: Understanding how to regulate stroke size and tempo so you stop guessing how hard to hit the ballMatt's Lesson: Preston diagnoses Matt's "long follow-through" as a symptom of a short backswing and fixes his setup by adjusting his forward bend to improve structural stability.Resources Mentioned:Preston's Putting: https://www.prestonsputting.com/AimPoint: https://aimpointgolf.com/ Vertex Sensor: https://vertex-golf.com/Quotes from the Show:"If you can't control the face on a three-mile-an-hour club head speed swing, it's not the putter." - Matt "I'm a proponent of any tool that allows players to better understand what's getting ready to happen to their golf ball." - Preston Combs "It looks like you're trying to hit that eight iron 160 yards." - Preston on forcing a putting stroke.

On today's episode, I'm chatting with Alyssa, who lost 20 pounds by finally putting herself first — not through restriction or perfection, but by making simple, realistic changes that actually fit into her life. If you're in a season of survival right now or navigating a major life transition… and you're tired of feeling uncomfortable in your skin while everyone else's needs come before your own, Alyssa's story is going to speak right to you. After years of surviving, sacrificing, and pushing her own needs to the bottom of the list, Alyssa decided something had to change. Her journey is raw, relatable, and such an important reminder that when you start caring for yourself, everything else gets better. Inside the episode, Alyssa shares: ✅ The simple, doable tweaks that boosted her energy, confidence, and weight loss results without giving up travel, flexibility, or the foods she loves ✅ How she ditched keto and the dieting rules for good and finally started building real momentum that yielded incredible results ✅ Why learning what actually matters for fat loss helped her create lasting progress ✅ What breaking old patterns has meant for her as a mother and her daughter as she heads off to college ✅ How shifting out of survival mode completely changed the trajectory of her health and life By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with a clear understanding of how to begin seeing progress and where you can start… even if you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck. 1:1 Coaching with Lauren and Our Team of Dietitians: HERE To connect with Lauren, click HERE Submit your question for advice from Lauren on the show HERE Take the free Weight Loss Personality Quiz HERE Shop Our Meal Plans HERE Get Support & Personally Work With Us HERE Related Episodes:

In this solo episode, I walk through 10 concrete rules to get way more out of Claude Code and Claude Opus 4.5, based directly on tips Anthropic has shared in their docs and blog posts. I show how to move from vague prompts to architected briefs that use tone, constraints, structure, and power phrases to avoid “AI slop.” I demo examples across writing, research, teaching, and planning so you can see exactly how to apply each rule. By the end, you have a practical playbook for prompting Claude like a teammate and using it as a true thinking partner in your work. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:56 – Rule #1: Tone of collaboration 02:16 – Rule #2: Principle of explicitness (action verbs, quantity, audience) 03:20 – Rule #3: Define the boundaries with clear constraints 04:26 – Rule #4: Draft, plan, then act (outline → refine → execute) 06:39 – Rule #5: Demand structured output (tables, formats, schemas) 08:00 – Rule #6: Explain the “why” behind your request 09:05 – Rule #7: Control brevity vs. verbosity (expert, brief, simplifier) 10:21 – Rule #8: Provide a scaffold and templates 11:21 – Rule #9: Use “power phrases” and expert personas 12:28 – Rule #10: Divide and conquer complex projects 14:09 – Putting it all together with an example For founders doing $50k+ MRR+: https://startup-ideas-pod.link/offline-mode Key Points I share 10 specific prompting rules that come directly from how Anthropic suggests people use Claude. I show how friendly, clear, and firm prompts beat either vague or overly polite requests. I demonstrate how explicit constraints (length, style, audience, banned words) create more creative and focused outputs. I use outlines, scaffolds, and structured formats to turn Claude into a planning and synthesis engine instead of a random text generator. I introduce “power phrases” like “think step by step” and “critique your own response” to unlock more advanced reasoning. I wrap everything into a final Stoicism lecture prompt that combines persona, context, constraints, structure, and tone.
