Podcasts about Quarter

What does the humble, boring quarter-zip sweater have to do with respectability politics and Blackness? Apparently, a lot! When two young Black men on TikTok brought the quarter-zip into vogue for young folks, they unknowingly waded into some very long-lived discourse on Black fashion and looking "respectable." Today on the pod, we chop it up with Jonathan Square, professor of Black visual culture at Parsons School of Design, about Black fashion, and what's happening more broadly to make this pretty plain sweater the "it" garment.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared shares a simple quarterly framework to help you actually follow through on health goals: Start, Stop, Keep. Adapted from a powerful business coaching tool, it becomes a practical way to evaluate what's working, what's draining you, and what single change could move you forward right now. Jared ties it to the “1% better” mindset from Atomic Habits—small daily choices that compound into massive long-term results—and gives real-world examples like setting a consistent bedtime, intermittent fasting, and quitting grazing. You'll also hear actionable “starts” (like walking after meals and tracking food/supplement effects) and “stops” (like late-day caffeine and doom scrolling). No hype—just a clean system you can repeat every quarter, month, or whatever works for you.Products:LiverVitatlityEndoCleanseVital 5:Ultimate Vitality MultiMagnesium BisglycinateOmega-3 + AntioxidantsPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesAssimil-8 Digestive EnzymesBack on TractAdditional Information:Atomic Habits by James Clear - bookThe Compound Effect by Darren Hardy - book#579: Fueling Your Day Right: How to Eat for Energy, Focus, and Weight Loss with Nate Palmer#604: Emotional Vitality: How to Break Out of Overwhelm and the Freeze Response#242: The Vital Five How To: Your User's Guide to Filling the Gaps in Your DietVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Shawn and Mitch are back from winter break and are breaking down everything that happened. From Trae Young to Evan Mobley, show and Mitch take your quarter by quarter with the best in depth analysis in Northeast Ohio.

(00:00) The fire alarm is going off in the building, with flashing lights like we're in a disco or something. Fred is not a fan. Also… HEATED RIVALRY!

After an extended break, Haulin' Assets is back. In this episode, I explain where we've been, why the podcast went quiet longer than expected, and what's changing as we relaunch. Quarter four was busy, the market shifted quickly, and between operational changes and a major accident, it was time to pause, reassess, and reset. This episode will feel familiar, but it also marks a more focused direction going forward. Where We've Been Q4 snowballed faster than expected. I talk through: Why I needed to step away How the break stretched longer than planned What we've been rebuilding behind the scenes The goal wasn't just to restart the show, but to make sure it continues to deliver real value. Financials: The Real Numbers Here's how the business performed late last year: September: $23,428 profit | $2.16 per mile October: –$6,143.88 | $2.26 per mile November: $12,877 profit | $2.18 per mile December: $27,818 profit | $2.16 per mile All P&L documents are available in the show notes. Changes in How We Operate In October, I took a hard look at our lanes, shippers, and loops. The takeaway was clear: some lanes we ran regularly were significantly less profitable. As a result: We avoid underperforming lanes whenever possible We largely stay out of the Southeast When we do go there, we head straight back west instead of drifting northeast That approach saves roughly 2.5 days of transit time, and with a truck costing about $400 per day to sit, those decisions add up quickly. This analysis is now a monthly process. Market Shifts and a Major Loss We also saw one of our strongest Q4 pushes in several years, along with new freight contracts coming online. At the same time, we experienced a major accident that resulted in the loss of a truck and trailer—an event that had real operational impact and contributed to the reset. The Relaunch Going forward, Haulin' Assets is refocusing on the owner-operator. That means: More business-focused topics More attention to both the owner and driver side More discussion of the owner-operator lifestyle

I just spent 30 minutes recording this episode only to realize I never actually pressed record—and honestly, that pretty much sums up how the first two weeks of January have felt!  But here we are jumping into another episoide of The Fearless Female Entrepreneur Podcast. No matter what life throws at you, if you strategize to take into account the rough moments, you won't feel like you're failing. That is what we are talking about today -the Quarterly Plan. After years of throwing spaghetti at the wall, failing to stick to a plan, always feeling like life (and the entire world and people around me) were in the driver's seat, I realized I needed an approach to planning my life that would put my dreams first. I needed a planning method that made my vision for my life the priority. A plan I could adjust when like is well..life-ing. But I also needed system that ditched the overwhelm and turned the "daunting as heck" yearly plans into intentional quarterly milestones that actually feel doable . I'll walk you through how I'm planning my own podcast episodes, my new journal launch, and even my goal to "date myself" more—all while protecting my energy from brain fog and fatigue . It's time to stop second-guessing ourselves and start taking bold, consistent action that leaves plenty of room for naps and real life.  Grab your BECOMING Quarterly Journal and Planner (see below) or a pen and paper and lets start planning! __________________________________________________________ Resources Created for You: The BECOMING Quarterly Journal and Planner: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/vhbzuv5sg4 Past Year Reflections Workbook (corresponds to this episode): https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/pastyearreflections Future You Guided Visualization: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/futureyou The Vision Board Workbook: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/visionboardworkbook 31 Day Mindset and Confidence Journal: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/mindsetandconfidencejournal The FREEDOM Masterclass - A 3-Part Video Series to Break Free and Confidently Create the Freedom-filled Life You Desire: https://katerinakormas.com/life-of-freedom-masterclass/ The BECOMING Masterclass - Get what you truly want in life and business and become a perfect match for inevitable success: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/becomingmasterclass Website: https://katerinakormas.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katerina.kormas Did you hear something you loved today? Leave a review, so others know what to expect from the show!

Goal is a 5 inch leg (after cuff), so ~60 rounds Cast on 56 sts with US 1.5 for cuff. After cuff, knit a few rounds before doing 4 sets of increases (4 increases each time) to get to 72 sts. Then changed to US 2 needles and tested for stretchiness after first block of colorwork. Using that I plotted out the colorwork for one sock based on Pacific Knit Co's Garden Doodle set. The second sock is has 12 round stripes of the 2 green colorways with a red toe to look like the caterpillar.   Miles Penguin Pattern: Penguin by Lion Brand Yarn- free crochet pattern on the Lion Brand website Yarn: Knit Picks Brava Worsted minis in Black, Clarity, White and Orange colorways Hook: C (2.75 mm) Ravelry Project Page For this one I used two black circles bordered by white so I could skip the safety eyes (Miles is under 2 years old).   Dirty Crayon Box Socks Yarn: Fiber Stash Strong Toes Sock (80% SW Merino/ 20% Nylon) in the Dirty Crayon Box Colorway Pattern: OMG Heel Socks by Megan Williams ($5 knitting pattern available on Ravelry) Needles: US 1.5 (2.5 mm) Ravelry Project Page I started these socks in October 2024 and finished on January 5, 2026   On the Needles, Hook or Bobbins   Woolens & Nosh 2025 Advent Socks Yarn: Woolens & Nosh, 75/25 Superwash Wool/Nylon 2025 Advent Colorway Pattern: OMG Heel Socks by Megan Williams ($5 knitting pattern available on Ravelry) Needles: US 1.5 (2.5 mm) Ravelry Project Page   Kirby Wirby 2025 Advent Socks Yarn: Kirby Wirby 75/25 Superwash Merino/Nylon in the 2025 Advent Christmas Toys from the 80s 24 Stripe Colorway Pattern: OMG Heel Socks by Megan Williams ($5 knitting pattern available on Ravelry) Needles: US 1.5 (2.5 mm) Ravelry Project Page Yarn theme: Christmas Toys from the 80s   Traveler Sweater Pattern: The Traveler by Andrea Mowry ($9 pattern available on Ravelry & the designer's website) Yarn: Hazel Knits Small Batch Sport (90/10 SW/Nylon) in a sage green Needles: US 3 (3.25 mm) & US 4 (3.5 mm) Ravelry Project Page Progress: finished the first sleeve and I'm at the cuff of the the second.   Pucker Brush Farm BFL Sweater Spin Fiber: 16 oz of multi colored BFL roving from Pucker Brush Farm (purchased at Rhinebeck 2025), 4 oz Merino in a mustard color Ravelry Project Page I am planning to knit a Traveler sweater inspired by Emily Curtis' handmade version- click here for her Ravelry Project Page.

Unfortunately I can't find more of this on Cece's Wool site or Ironwood's etsy shop, but I think it will give me the idea for a tan/brown color plied with the colorful yarn, so I spun enough to make a sample yarn to swatch with.   Brainstorming Crochet Ski Helmet Balaclava available on Etsy for $7.36   Knitting in Passing Millie finished the hat she was knitting for her dad with yarn from Plied Yarn Co.

Several players have posted a list of everything that they made in 2025. We have some really prolific players in the group! The best thing about the conversation is that no one is competitive about it. Just lots of celebrations!  I find it kind of inspiring to see what others have accomplished. For example, hikesandbikes finished 54 knitted knockers! What a great cause! It inspires me to try knitting some this year.  Come on over and join the chat if you want to get inspired too!  A few players have decided that they want to make sweaters in 2026. If you want to join in the fun, hop on over to a new Sweater MAL thread: https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/down-cellar-studio-podcast/4390076/1-25 Another interesting topic of conversation in the January huddle stemmed from the unfortunate injury of one of our players. Sadly, she sprained her wrist. The group came through with lots of ideas for what to do when you can't knit and crochet, including needle felting, doing puzzles, watercolors, playing with art supplies, journaling and as MrsQuilt put it, "whining, reading, and actually paying attention to what is on the TV" I am wishing you all health, happiness, and strong crafting mojo in the new year!

I stayed with him from December 5-21. Dad and I had a lovely visit from our friend Merry who came with an unexpected gift- a bracelet with beads made from my mom's funeral flowers in red (ruby slipper), yellow (yellow brick road) and white for home. Dan and I had a lovely double date night at the Irish pub with friends. I was able to see my 7 year old niece Hattie as Gretl in Sound of Music (twice!!!) Making Aunt Milly's cookies with Riley and Millie (and having a sleepover with them). Christmas Eve & Christmas Day were both lovely. Definitely different without my Mom and grandmother there but it was still a joy to be together. Our friend Gail joined us as she usually does and brought all sorts of fun games for us to play. The Sunday after Christmas, I was able to spend all afternoon with my grandmother, some of that alone. My friend Megg came over because she wanted to visit and say goodbye. We had dinner together after. My friend Laura came in for NYE. Small get together with friends at my Dad's turned into a real party, though most didn't stay until midnight. Megg wanted it to be a sparkly kind of night so Laura and I got outfits for the three of us at the consignment shop on the way over! Very silly fun. My cousin Mike and his husband Kyle came up from Florida. My grandmother's services were beautiful with contributions from lots of family members. While it was more stressful than mom's, and it was the worst form of deja vu having the same schedule for that exact same Thur/Fri two years in a row- my grandmother would be happy with how it all turned out.  Skiing on Saturday after the funeral. 7 of us, impromptu trip, icy conditions but we still had a blast.   Quote of the Week "Amidst the normal hard stuff is the abnormal hard stuff. You may be doing great, but no one great always had it great. At the end of each day, as you prepare for the next, I hope you take an inventory of your life, your thoughts and where you're headed. The wind can take you some cool places, but so can your paddle."   ― Richie Norton   ------   Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

In this episode, we sit down with Woody DeLauder, founder of Rootbound Farms, a small but highly productive suburban farm based in Southern Maryland. Woody shares how he transformed his suburban lawn into a thriving, human-powered market garden that generates over $100K annually, with the help of his secret best-seller: handmade soap, all while navigating zoning restrictions, skeptical neighbors, and the realities of farming in a residential neighborhood. We explore Woody's journey from being a fourth and fifth grade teacher to becoming a full-time grower and entrepreneur, and how growing food in his front yard became a catalyst for rebuilding community in the suburbs. Woody reflects on the cultural challenges of suburban life, the loss of shared spaces, and how food production can reconnect neighbors through visibility, conversation, and generosity. Rootbound Farms: https://www.rootboundfarms.com/ Timestamps[0:00] Intro[3:40] The good, the bad, and the ugly of social media [7:30] What's broken in modern suburbia and the idea of “living room kids”[13:00] Turning lawns into gardens and rethinking suburban norms[19:30] Front-yard farming, neighbor resistance, and zoning challenges[27:15] Building community through visibility, food, and conversation[35:30] From teacher to farmer: changing careers and redefining success[43:00] Farm economics: small footprint, low overhead, and real revenue[52:30] Influences from Curtis Stone, Eliot Coleman, and small-scale pioneers[1:01:00] Social media, virality, and the cost of visibility[1:23:40] Seasonality, local food culture, and rebuilding appreciation for real food[1:29:00] Long-term vision: education, community farms, and inclusive spaces[1:44:50] Rapid Fire Q&A: books, advice, influences, and staying smallSponsorsReal Organic Project: Get Involved.

We break down the X's and O's behind the NFL's record-breaking Wild Card weekend, analyzing how Buffalo's disguised coverages and the Eagles' collapse defined the slate. Plus, we preview the National Championship clash between Indiana and Miami, explaining why the title will be decided by 'movement-based' defense versus raw trench power.—In this episode:The “Cignetti Bowl” Preview: We analyze the National Championship matchup, highlighting the shared James Madison roots of the defensive coordinators and contrasting Miami's physical, NFL-prototype front with Indiana's movement-based, stunt-heavy scheme.Historic Wild Card Weekend: We recap a record-breaking opening round of the playoffs that featured more lead changes than the entire past postseason combined, headlined by Caleb Williams and the Bears rallying late to knock off the Packers.Buffalo's Cover 2 Masterclass: We break down how the Bills confused Trevor Lawrence by running “all the Cover 2s”—mixing various hybrid coverages and rotations to force mistakes despite playing a simple structure on paper.The Eagles' Statistical Anomaly: We discuss the Philadelphia Eagles' collapse and the heat on Nick Sirianni, noting the rarity of a team losing a playoff game despite being +2 in turnover margin and +65 in rushing yards.The “Anti-Defense” Philosophy: We examine the modern defensive approach used by the Texans and 49ers, which relies less on exotic schemes and more on elite linebacker depth and precise vertical drops to shut down the intermediate passing game.—Timestamps:0:00 Intro: A Historic Wild Card Weekend 2:10 National Championship Preview: The "Cignetti Bowl"5:00 Miami's NFL Prototype Front vs. Indiana's Movement-Based Defense 11:06 Natty Predictions: Why Mendoza Fits the Hoosiers 17:31 Rams vs. Panthers: Puka Nacua & The "Dome Quarterback" Dilemma 23:17 Bears vs. Packers: Caleb Williams Arrives in the 4th Quarter 28:36 Bills vs. Jaguars: Josh Allen's Perfection vs. Trevor Lawrence's Mistakes 31:37 Scheme Breakdown: How Buffalo Ran "All the Cover 2s" 33:20 49ers vs. Eagles: The Coaching Mismatch 35:35 The "Weak Hook" & The Value of Modern Linebackers 39:56 The Eagles' Collapse: Losing Despite Winning the Stats 45:40 Patriots vs. Chargers: The "Show Zone, Play Man" Game Plan 49:48 Texans vs. Steelers: The Nuance of "Anti-Defense" 53:01 The Coaching Carousel: Underrated Candidates & Predictions—» Join Felix and Cody each Wednesday as we dive deep into the game we love!MatchQuarters is a reader-supported publication.
