Start Your Transformation Now⁠  As I was thinking about this week's episode and what I wanted to share I had an epiphany: I have tons of things to share with you sitting right on my desk. For decades I have taken notes when talking to my brother-in-law, the shaman. Over the years I've gone through the notes and taken an inventory of myself and my own growth and often I add to the notes with my own assessment of self-growth. As I was thinking about this week's episode I had a stack of notes on my desk that are simply personal notes to myself and I thought, “Why don't I share this with people?” The podcast is never contrived or orchestrated in any way others than to serve you and perhaps give you food for thought, and when I had this idea earlier I decided to just share with you some of the bullets from my personal notes. The thoughts I share this week have been life-changing for me and I think you'll also find value. I could give the bullet points I talk about here in this write-up but that ruins all the fun of new discovery, so, listen to this week's episode and I'm curious so to whether or not you like the impromptu format of this episode. The general theme this week is random thoughts regarding spiritual responsibility for our lives and our personal evolution. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  What you're in agreement with is what you're in alignment with. Mentioned Resources: Episode 2: Who Are You And What Is Your Identity?

It's the "summer of soccer" once again, so had a few topics to discuss as so much seems to be happening.

Random Thought…. As quickly as things get nice and fun and lovey dovey…. They can sour.  Plus one of the most cringe moments on social media this week.  And when celebrations cost you everything… act like you've been here before. Ever been somewhere and overheard two guys having a crazy conversation over random topics? Well we are those guys and we have been having these conversations since college. Do we agree on everything? Hell no, but we have fun anyway. We talk about sports, politics, pop culture, and other bs.

From tight end production to WPIAL recruiting, we've got five things we're thinking about on today's Morning Pitt.

Sometimes, the best conversations happen when there's no agenda. This is one of those moments. With London as the backdrop — its history, energy, and unpredictable charm — Sean and I sat on the grass in Hyde Park and hit record. No script, no plan. Just two friends talking about music, memories, meditation, and why we still believe in experiencing things without a phone between us and reality.From yoga poses on park benches to tales of Clapton at Royal Albert Hall and an upcoming Oasis reunion in Cardiff (yes, really), this is a meandering mix of thoughts and stories — like walking down Portobello Road not knowing what you'll find. We touch on the lost art of being present, why live music changes everything, and how the UK's cultural influence shaped our creative paths.Sure, we dip into punk, rock, film, and a few philosophical musings about why Florence isn't featured more in books and movies — but it's all under one theme: reconnecting with the world around us. It's a conversation that could only happen in a place like London — rich with culture, memories, and endless possibility.If you're tired of content that's too polished, too planned, or too promotional… this episode is a breath of fresh (sometimes damp) British air.⸻Hashtags:#storytelling, #london, #musiclovers, #meditation, #unscripted, #podcastlife, #travelstories, #creativelife, #liveinthemoment, #punkrockNew episodes drop when they drop. Expect the unexpected.Hosts links:

Random Thought…. People are going to talk, but that doesn't mean you have to listen.  Ashley pulls up on AD's What's The Reality podcast and a couple people caught strays.  Plus, what with the newest IG challenge and the new graduation trend? Ever been somewhere and overheard two guys having a crazy conversation over random topics? Well we are those guys and we have been having these conversations since college. Do we agree on everything?

Welcome to Credit Union Conversations. I'm Mark, and today's episode will be a little different. I don't usually record podcasts like this, but sometimes you just need to talk through what's been on your mind. There's been a lot happening in the business lending world, and I've been reflecting on where things stand—what's working, what's shifting, and what credit unions need to be paying attention to right now. This is more of a pulse check, a chance to unpack the momentum and opportunities ahead. So, thanks for joining me for this more personal take—I'm looking forward to getting into it with you.IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Introduction(00:49) Mark shares what's on his mind in the credit union space(02:41) Business is up this first quarter(06:16) The shrinking base of credit unions and the pay-for-play model of conventions(12:17) The CFPB and the CDFI and the NCUA(17:11) The changing culture of the credit union and what can be doneKEY TAKEAWAYS: Business lending is experiencing a resurgence, with increased demand from small businesses and credit unions. It's proving to be a reliable income stream even amid economic fluctuations, offering more stability than consumer loans and mortgages, which have been impacted by interest rate volatility and market changes.There is a growing need for stronger portfolio management and compliance resources due to rising—though normalizing—delinquencies and heightened regulatory expectations. The competitive landscape is also intensifying, with more entrants vying for a shrinking pool of credit unions, leading to thinner margins and greater pressure on service providers.Industry conventions, especially larger ones, are becoming less effective for meaningful engagement. The consolidation of major trade organizations has shifted event participation to a pay-for-play model, limiting visibility for value-driven providers. This, combined with rising costs, is prompting a reevaluation of outreach strategies and event participation.RESOURCE LINKSMark Ritter - WebsiteMark Ritter - LinkedIn

The Boys discussed various thoughts, including James's idea for a script about a dog trying to telepathically communicate with its owner, the cultural impact of the parental advisory sticker on music albums, and the concept of what fictional characters and celebrities might smell like. They also explored the idea of a nostalgia-themed amusement park, the resurgence of original movies in theaters, and the unique feeling of performing on stage under bright lights. Additionally, they discussed their lack of understanding about how microphones and sound waves work, and the importance of leaving a positive impact on others.

Title: The Art of Being Random, Ravioli In London, Having Unscripted Conversations, and Writing Magical Short Stories for Kids and the Young at Heart Some people meticulously plan their podcasts, carefully outlining each segment, scripting the perfect transitions, and staying laser-focused on a central theme.This is not that podcast. Nope!Welcome to Random and Unscripted, where Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli hit record and let the conversation take on a life of its own. No structure, no rules—just whatever happens to pop into their heads. And, as it turns out, quite a lot pops in.In this latest episode, we kick things off with a deep philosophical debate about… hats. Specifically, the mysterious origins of Sean's recently rediscovered headwear, which may or may not be Australian (or possibly extraterrestrial). Naturally, this segues into a discussion on the architecture of New York and London, the peculiar planning rules that keep St. Paul's Cathedral in view, and, of course, eating amazing ravioli. Because why not? It's ravioli! What's the matter with you?!From there, things take a turn into the creative process behind Storie Sotto Le Stelle, the podcast and story series Marco has been creating with his mother. What started as a way to preserve small-town grocery store memories turned into a whimsical collection of tales featuring talking shoes, mad cats, colorful bicycle races, enchanted gardens, and even a robot studying humanity from an observatory made of glass. Sean marvels at the sheer volume of stories Marco's mom has written (over 40 in the pipeline!), while Marco contemplates the life choices that led to him having yet another unpaid creative job. LOL!Somewhere along the way, they also tackle the nature of creativity, the fine line between genius and madness, and whether there's a market for on-demand, custom-made stories (spoiler: Marco is not taking commissions… yet. Go ahead, make him an offer).In true Random and Unscripted fashion, we wrap things up with musings on personal passions—writing, music, storytelling, and the simple joy of doing something just because it makes life more interesting. It's the kind of conversation best enjoyed over coffee, a glass of wine, or while wearing a completely unnecessary but highly stylish hat.New episodes drop when they drop.

How do black and white and color influence the way we perceive images? In this episode, Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin examine the role of black-and-white and color in film, photography, and visual storytelling. The conversation moves through history, from silent films to modern cinema, touching on the technological and artistic decisions that shape how we experience visuals.The Psychology of Color in FilmCiappelli shares insights from the Academy Museum's Color Emotion: Chromatic Exploration of Cinema exhibit, which explores how filmmakers use color to create mood and evoke emotion. The discussion highlights the transition from black-and-white films to color and how directors leverage lighting, camera technology, and costume choices to enhance storytelling. The Wizard of Oz, a defining moment in cinematic history, is discussed as a key example—the shift from black-and-white Kansas to the Technicolor world of Oz wasn't just a technical innovation but an intentional artistic decision.Black-and-White as an Artistic ChoiceMartin, who also has a background in photography, reflects on how black-and-white imagery forces viewers to focus on different elements—contrast, shadows, and composition—rather than being distracted by color. He notes that black-and-white isn't just about nostalgia; it's often used to create a sense of timelessness or emphasize emotional depth. The conversation extends to legendary photographer Ansel Adams, whose landscapes showcase how black-and-white photography can transform light and texture into a powerful visual experience.Photography and the Role of Digital ManipulationThe episode also touches on how digital photography has changed the creative process. The ability to capture dozens of images in seconds and manipulate them in post-production raises questions about authenticity. Is there more artistic value in an image that is captured perfectly in the moment, or is post-processing just another tool in the creative toolbox?This thought-provoking conversation connects film, photography, and personal experience, inviting listeners to reconsider how they engage with visual storytelling.Tune in to hear more about the relationship between black, white, and color in the way we see the world.
