From a 400-person room to a 1,000-person room to twelve chapters in two countries, in nine years, on a formula nobody wrote down.That is the middle chapter of the GEDfest story, and this is the episode about how it actually happened. GEDfest is Gord Edgar Downie Fest. It was born in Calgary shortly after Gord Downie passed away in 2017, and it is now the largest fundraiser in his memory in the country. The jump from one hometown night to a national organization did not happen because somebody drew up a plan. It happened because people kept walking up and asking how they could help.Julie Johnson was in the audience on night one while Keith was on the drum stool, which means she saw something he could not see from up there. A woman came up to her in that tiny bar and started talking about a Canadian art gallery and all the images The Tragically Hip put into people's heads, and whether there was room for that next year. That was the first sign. There have been a lot of them since. This episode is Julie, Keith, Jaime McNichol, and Darcy McLeod trying to name the exact moment the snowball stopped needing to be pushed.WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE• Keith's confession about 'Courage'. It is not the confession you are expecting from a man who runs a Gord Downie tribute festival, and the night it changed is very specific.• Julie on the one thing you cannot do if you want to scale something like this. It is the opposite of what most organizations try.• The 2020 GEDfest. Masks, social distancing, two shows in one day, a capacity cut to the bone, and Dave Harris singing from inside a phone booth. Then the thing the host said afterward that opened the door to every chapter that followed.• Darcy on the green room at the Blind Beggar, and why beers that arrive without you asking are a bigger deal to a working band than they sound.• Jaime went to her first GEDfest in 2021 carrying something heavy, and found that a room full of people singing was the thing that helped. She says it plainly here.• Three different people give three different answers for when the tipping point was. One of them says the Palace. One says it was the moment a stranger in Kelowna described a night they had never attended, exactly.• The hip tribute band in the Netherlands who reached out, and the language barrier standing between them and a chapter.• How Neil got Edmonton, and how a guy from Manulife got Kelowna. Neither one involves a job posting.• Keith on the secret sauce, which is a two-word answer and is not the music.THE PANEL• Keith Dyck, co-founder of GEDfest and the drummer in Trickle Down, from Calgary. Reads 'the present' in "The Never Ending Present" as a double entendre, which is a level of thinking jD readily admits is above his pay grade.• Julie Johnson, founder of GEDfest, from Calgary. Keith's wife, and the one who was standing in the crowd the first night. Went way off the board with 'Fight' as her current favourite, and had a reason at the ready.• Jaime McNichol, GEDfest director, from Calgary. Julie's parents live next door, which is how she heard about a band called Trickle Down in the first place. Missed the first one because of the weather and has never quite gotten over it. Did three GEDfests last year.• Darcy McLeod of DC and The Struggle, from Calgary. Opener, after-party act, ambassador, and self-described jack of all trades. Came to The Hip through a friend in junior high who put on 'New Orleans Is Sinking' and was, in his words, the coolest cat.GEDFEST 2026GEDfest is Gord Edgar Downie Fest, and in its ninth year it runs in twelve chapters across Canada and, for the first time, in the United States. Every chapter picks a cause in its own community and raises money for it. Find your city at gedfest.ca. jD runs the Toronto chapter, playing the Horseshoe Tavern on Saturday, October 17, with Grace, 2 on stage, raising money for Campfire Circle and the Murphy Family Fund in Precision Medicine in Pancreatic Cancer.

We talked about Caleb Flynn, a 40-year-old former "American Idol" contestant and church worship leader, is on trial for the aggravated murder of his wife, Ashley Flynn, who was fatally shot in February. We discussed how we would feel having our text messages read in court, so Bobby opened up his phone to read his last 5 texts. John Morgan stops by the studio and takes us through the unlikely path that led him from a small-town North Carolina life to Nashville, where he spent years chasing the dream while working a regular job. He opens up about the moments that changed everything, including getting discovered by Jason Aldean and becoming one of country music’s most in-demand songwriters. We got an update on Eddie finally finishing the book Bobby assigned to him 'The Four Agreements' and gave us his review.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now he's traded operating rooms for a different kind of high-stakes venture: Hypotency, one of the first recreational cannabis dispensaries opening on Long Island. Dane gets into the wild backstory behind his partner's cannabis license, born from a motorcycle crash and a prison sentence. He also opens up on the frequency medicine and manifestation practices he credits for his success, plus the Ferrari club world he now runs in. From saving lives to building an empire, Dane proves reinvention has no ceiling. Miss this one, and you'll miss the blueprint.

Pilgrim's Storm Brooding by Damien Black is the third book in The Broken Stone Chronicle—and three books in, I'm still asking the same question:Why is nobody talking about this series?!The first book was really good. The second was a huge step forward. So could Damien Black possibly keep that momentum going with a massive third installment, or was this where the series would finally plateau—or worse, fall apart?In this spoiler-lite review, I dig into Pilgrim's Storm Brooding and talk about:• How the series continues to expand its already impressive worldbuilding• The growing scope of the story and its many POV characters• Some seriously satisfying reveals• Strong character development across the expanding cast• Why its classic good-vs.-evil foundations work so well• The potential drawbacks of committing to such a HUGE epic fantasy• And whether book three actually manages to improve on what came beforeFor me, The Broken Stone Chronicle continues to be one of the most surprising under-the-radar epic fantasy discoveries I've made. Three books in, Damien Black has delivered an enormous, ambitious fantasy story that feels classic in its foundations while still offering modern prose, complexity, and storytelling.So seriously...WHY ISN'T THIS SERIES GETTING MORE ATTENTION?If you've read Pilgrim's Storm Brooding or any of The Broken Stone Chronicle, let me know what you think in the comments.

This week, we're stepping a little outside our usual lane, and we're so glad we did. Julie Ryan is a medical intuitive and psychic medium who says she can sense what's happening in the body and connect with those who've passed. We came in curious (and, honestly, a little skeptical), and walked away with a lot to think about. In this conversation, Julie does a live medical intuitive reading on Jenn, tells Lori about the spirit guides she says are walking alongside her, and answers the questions so many of us have wondered about quietly. Why do dogs sometimes stare at "nothing"? What does she believe happens as we die, and what do the dying experience in their final days? And how can understanding that process bring comfort to those of us who love them? Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in the middle, this episode is an invitation to stay open, ask big questions, and maybe feel a little less afraid of the things we rarely talk about.

“Send Coach John a message”Saw a gem of a post this morning from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) which was a quote from David Goggins that he shared. The quote was this: “The only way to achieve greatness in life is to have patience, consistency, and discipline.” WOW. I shared this when I reposted it: “Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) Good stuff for each of us to make our own…” It is up to us to take these types of truths & great advice and make them our own in our own lives!! Each of these 3 principles can be applied to relationships, careers, finances, fitness, etc. As I said, I know for sure that I need to have that look come back to me from the guy in the mirror that I know, I am doing well in these three areas. I need to keep at this, making it a habit that I connect with each and every day. I hope you are able to do that as well my friends. Thanks for listening.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Alleigha Botner returned to the stand in the Caleb Flynn murder trial and read messages she testified were exchanged with Flynn before the death of his wife, Ashley Flynn. One February 2025 message she attributed to Caleb said, “I need her to die, leave, or cheat again.” Botner also testified that she sent Flynn instructions on deleting messages because she was concerned the messages could be subpoenaed in a divorce case. When prosecutors asked her about another exchange, Botner read a message in which she asked what he wanted her to do and said his response was, “Kill Douche.” The testimony came from what Botner described as 34 books of messages collected between her and Flynn. She read additional exchanges in which she testified that Flynn said he hated Ashley and wanted her dead. Prosecutors also played videos Botner said Caleb sent to her. Flynn, 40, has pleaded not guilty to 11 counts, including aggravated murder, in Ashley Flynn's death at their Tipp City home. Prosecutors allege the scene was staged to resemble a home-invasion burglary. The defense says Ashley was killed during a home invasion and investigators rushed to blame Caleb. Botner's testimony is expected to continue Thursday, putting the prosecution's interpretation of those messages back in front of the jury.

A new quarterback takes the MMQB chair as former Michigan signal-caller Shea Patterson joins The Michigan Insider's Sam Webb for his debut episode to break down Bryce Underwood's continued growth in Michigan's 52-17 win over UTEP. Patterson goes inside the details of Underwood's encouraging performance and then the focus shifts to No. 17 Iowa and the start of Big Ten play, as Patterson explains how Underwood can attack the Hawkeyes' disciplined defense, why stressing their safeties could unlock Michigan's play-action game, and where the Wolverines may find opportunities to finally make defenses pay for crowding the line of scrimmage. It's a quarterback-focused look at the latest sign of progress and the next step he'll need to take as Michigan enters conference play.(00:00) Shea Patterson Takes Over Monday Morning Quarterback(04:21) Shea on Five-Star Pressure and Coming to Michigan(07:33) Shea Says Bryce Underwood Is Getting Better Every Week(09:55) Michigan Puts More Back on Bryce's Plate Against UTEP(12:54) Bryce's Reads and Arm Talent Show Real Progress(20:18) Andrew Marsh and JJ Buchanan Can Make Life Easier for Bryce(24:50) Shea Remembers the Pressure of Being Michigan's Quarterback(28:42) Shea's Biggest Coaching Priority for Bryce Before Iowa(31:31) Bryce Looks Much More Comfortable Diagnosing Defenses(38:01) Shea Explains How He Would Attack Iowa's Defense(40:35) Ball Security Becomes Critical Before Big Ten Play(42:35) Shea Reflects on His Favorite Michigan Memories(47:48) Overtime Q&A Begins(50:20) Shea Believes Bryce Can Continue Expanding as a Passer(51:36) Shea Names the Receivers Who Made His Job Easiest(53:47) Shea Shares His Favorite Harbaugh Story and Toughest Road Environments(57:08) Shea Explains Learning When to Climb the Pocket(1:00:31)

As a financial advisor, I'm willing to bet almost nobody reads your LinkedIn posts. But where most advisors trip up is that they think it's a content problem. So, they spend more time creating their content to be smarter, better, and more thorough. But this is a big, fat mistake. Why? You don't have a "content" problem - you have a "nervous system" problem! If you want people to read (and act on) your LinkedIn posts, then you need to understand how to make a human nervous system (and thumb) stop on a dime. That's exactly what you'll discover in today's show: Not how to make "better" content… but how to make content in a way that captures the attention of your ideal clients' nervous systems and "ethically forces" them to engage, read, and act on your LinkedIn posts. Listen now. Show highlights include: How you accidentally smother your LinkedIn reach before you ever even start writing your post (and one tip to forever improve your impact on LinkedIn) (1:16) Why better, smarter, and more thorough content is actually a disadvantage on LinkedIn (1:52) How to give your LinkedIn audience a biological reason to stop scrolling (if you aren't able to do this, nobody will ever see your posts) (3:04) The "Half Second Secret" for instantly becoming more important than any other advisor your ideal clients follow on LinkedIn (3:34) 5 scientifically verified triggers (that have been studied by psychologists for close to 100 years) that have been proven to stop the human thumb from scrolling (3:55) Why scrolling on LinkedIn for a few minutes and asking yourself this simple question will automatically make your posts more engaging (7:28) How treating LinkedIn's "See More" feature as a subject line will help your posts dominate your competitors' posts in terms of sheer engagement (9:47) The one word that stops a human scroll more reliably than any other word ever tested (this is so popular it actually got a nickname called the "Cocktail Party Effect") (12:00) A weird, but proven by scientists and researchers in 2001, reason that something bad is stronger than something good (and how to apply this to your marketing for more engagement and profit) (15:03) The ONLY type of image to post on LinkedIn if you're an advisor who wants more engagement with every post you make (16:29) Since you listen to this podcast, I want to give you a gift: If you subscribe to the Inner Circle Newsletter, I'll send you a collection of seven "objection busting" and copyright free emails, personally written by me, that you can use right away to begin getting more clients.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott is the key voice in this combined episode on JP Miller, Mica Miller and the rise-and-fall story of Solid Rock Church. Her focus is the concept of carewashing: the way an alleged controller can take surveillance, pressure and boundary-breaking conduct and rebrand it as concern. According to federal prosecutors, Miller said he used a private investigator to monitor Mica in order to keep her safe. Scott explains why that kind of explanation can be persuasive to outsiders even when the behavior allegedly points in the opposite direction. That same framework helps make sense of the church story. Public reporting in 2023 described a ministry with significant holdings — roughly $5.59 million in property and related assets, including the church campus, acreage, vehicles and an airplane. By late 2024, Solid Rock Church and its school had closed, the main property had sold, and former church elders were publicly saying they had never been given a clear picture of the church's finances. Meanwhile, JP continued preaching to a much smaller group at rotating locations. The federal indictment charges Miller with cyberstalking and making false statements and alleges conduct from November 2022 through April 27, 2024. Prosecutors say that conduct included unwanted contact, interference with Mica's finances and daily life, tire damage, an intimate image posted without consent and tracking devices placed on her vehicle. Miller has pleaded not guilty, has not been charged in connection with Mica's death and is set for the October 2026 trial term. Shavaun Scott's analysis keeps the episode from becoming just another timeline recap. She looks at how institutions can confuse loyalty with morality and how people inside a system can start defending conduct they would instantly recognize as alarming anywhere else. The result is one story with two tracks: what prosecutors say JP Miller did to Mica, and what happened to the church structure that once centered him, funded him and, according to former insiders, revealed far less to its members than many thought.

David Plotz talks with journalist Annie Lowrey about her new book The Time Tax: How the Government Wastes Our Time—and How to Fix It, an investigation into the hours Americans lose to broken bureaucracy, from 12-hour tax filings to multiyear waits for housing vouchers and building permits. Lowrey traces the waste to what she calls the “ordeal mechanism,” the deliberate friction built into some programs to weed out the “undeserving,” alongside outdated technology like the COBOL code still running state unemployment systems. She and Plotz discuss why the burden falls hardest on poor people and immigrants, why Social Security remains one of the few programs that treats recipients with dignity, and why DOGE did nothing to fix any of it.

There is a particular kind of loneliness that can come with becoming a mother: the moment you realize everyone warned you that you would be tired, but almost nobody warned you that you might lose pieces of yourself. Creator and author Emily Feret built her platform by saying the things mothers are often afraid to say out loud—the house is messy, the baby won't stop crying, your body feels unfamiliar, your marriage has changed, you miss who you used to be, and sometimes motherhood is simply really, really hard. In this episode of A Fresh Story: Book Talk, Emily joins Olivia to talk about the book that grew out of that radical honesty, Normalizing Normal: Motherhood Without the Filter.Covering the terrain from pregnancy through the early years of parenting, Normalizing Normal is less a traditional parenting manual than the big sister Emily wishes someone had handed her before she became a mom. She writes about postpartum life, identity, guilt, changing bodies, relationships, friendship, overwhelm, and the strange emotional duality of loving your children fiercely while sometimes not particularly enjoying motherhood. Emily and Olivia talk about the advice mothers are given—“sleep when the baby sleeps,” “don't blink,” “enjoy every moment”—and all the things hidden underneath those phrases. What happens when you can't enjoy every moment? What if the baby screams in the car for eight months? What if becoming a mother changes your marriage, your friendships, your relationship with your body, and the way you recognize yourself? And why are mothers so often expected to qualify every difficult truth with an immediate reminder that they are grateful?For Emily, writing this book was also the fulfillment of a deeply personal dream. Becoming an author had lived on what she calls her “deathbed list”—the things she knew she would regret never attempting—and, fittingly, the opportunity eventually arrived through an Instagram DM she initially thought was a scam. But the heart of the book is much bigger than accomplishing a dream. It is about removing shame through recognition: the relief of discovering that another mother has thought the thought you were afraid to say, struggled with the thing you thought everyone else could handle, or needed to find herself again after becoming responsible for everyone else. Normalizing Normal makes room for two truths at once: motherhood can be beautiful, and motherhood can be extraordinarily hard. If you are becoming a parent, deep in the early years, emerging from them, or simply trying to find yourself again after life changed you, this conversation is a reminder that honesty can be its own kind of village.
