Just like a refreshing Summer beverage, the new episode of the Dads on the Rocks Podcast is here to serve as a light and crisp addition to your day before you melt into a puddle in the sidewalk. Or Andre's garage.  This month we revisit (and forget) homework, what's old is new again with our music, film, and tv choices lately, and end of the the year things to be celebrated like graduations and down-to-the-wire potty training.  Grab a freeze pop, put your feet in the kiddie pool, and press play. Enjoy!

If you grew up anywhere near Rockford, Illinois, in, oh, the last century or so, you probably have eaten at least a handful of Mrs. Fisher's potato chips. This regional delicacy started in Ethel Fisher's kitchen and still maintains that small-batch flavor, even as the company goes through 2.6 million pounds of local potatoes every year. So join Mrs. Fisher's vice president Chris Spiess as he takes the Under Rocks team on a tour of Rockford's salty treasure.

It's been just over a year since Northern Illinois University closed its outdoor education campus high above the Rock River in Oregon, Illinois. While its future is still in limbo, a group called Together for Taft is making progress in its effort to bring it back as an environmental education center. WNIJ's Under Rocks podcast team stopped by the group's fundraiser recently, which was held across the river from the shuttered campus.

Happy Mindful Monday,Everyone!In this week's epsiode, our host Allie Brooke is interviewed by the fantastic Desiree Simone on the "Growth on the Rocks" Podcast. In this episode, they dive deep into a conversation that's as personal as powerful. They sit down to discuss their similar backgrounds as high-performing women and how their diverse cultures have shaped the ambitious, driven people they are today. But this isn't just a success story; it's a candid exploration of the shadow side of ambition. They unpack the perils of perfectionism, not as a quest for excellence, but as a relentless, exhausting pursuit of an impossible ideal. They talk about how this tendency often leaves them feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and afraid to make mistakes. We also explore the deep roots of people-pleasing, revealing that it's far more complex than simply wanting to make others happy.  Drawing on lessons learned from maternal ancestries and their journeys, they discuss how cultivating emotional intelligence has been the key to unlocking true freedom. They share how understanding our emotions, setting firm boundaries, and embracing vulnerability have allowed them to move beyond the patterns of perfectionism and people-pleasing. This conversation is an honest look at the path from feeling defined by external expectations to living a life guided by internal peace and genuine self-acceptance.Epaiode TopicsPerfectionism vs. Excellence: Exploring the difference between a healthy drive for quality and the debilitating fear of making a mistake.The Root of People-Pleasing: Discussing how people-pleasing is more than just being nice and often stems from a fear of conflict or a need for external validation.Lessons from Our Mothers: Sharing how the women who raised us influenced our relationships with success, self-worth, and emotional expression.The Power of Boundaries: A conversation about how to set and maintain boundaries for time, energy, and emotions to protect your mental well-being.Emotional Intelligence: Breaking down how cultivating self-awareness and emotional regulation is the key to overcoming perfectionism and people-pleasing.Cultural Influences: Exploring how our cultural backgrounds have shaped our definitions of success and our tendencies toward certain behaviors.Finding True Freedom: A final discussion on the journey from living for external approval to living a life of internal peace and genuine self-acceptance.How To Connect w| DesireeWebsiteInstagramPodcast  The Growth METHOD.

And he is, respectfully, not pleased.

In this transformative episode of the On the Rocks Podcast, hosted by Emily King and sponsored by KPI Mining, experts Benny Cohen, Matheus Faria, and Giovanni Santos dive deep into the world of mining optimization through the lens of stochastic mine planning. They shed light on how traditional challenges of uncertainty in mining operations can be mitigated by embracing stochastic optimization techniques, originally honed in the oil and gas industry. The discussion explores the significant impacts of this approach, including improved Net Present Value (NPV), enhanced recovery rates, and more accurate forecasts, thereby enabling mining companies to make better-informed decisions and optimize their operations for higher efficiency and profitability.

In this enlightening episode of the On the Rocks Podcast, host Emily King chats with Ernest Scheyder, a senior correspondent at Reuters and author of "The War Below: Lithium, copper, and the global battle to power our lives".

Kill Em All, the debut album from heavy metal heroes Metallica, was released July 25, 1983 but not to much fanfare. They didn't have the budget (or desire) to make videos and their sound was so loud and aggressive, you never heard them on rock radio back then. MTV was happy with bands like Men at Work and Duran Duran to be beamed to the suburbs which simply weren't ready for the thrash that Metallica brought with them. The album only sold about 60,000 copies the first year it was out. But it was the start of something which wouldn't be realized until almost a decade later. To help us better understand the significance of Kill Em All and the rise of thrash, we've enlisted Jay Scott - our Pantheon Podcasts brother from The Hook Rocks and The Zeppelin Chronicles with Shout It Out Loudcast. Jay has been listening to Metallica since the beginning and theorizes that this album was the death of glam rock even though at the time it went completely unnoticed. We go track by track and Jay talks about the night he road his bike to a bowling alley at midnight for a chance to gaze upon the boys from Metallica. It may have started slow out of the gates but this album is the foundation for what is now the biggest band in the world.

In this episode of the On the Rocks Podcast, host Emily King chats with Alicia Eastman, the president of InterContintental Energy and host of the Everything About Hydrogen podcast!  Emily and Alicia dive right in on discussing the origin of InterContinental Energy, and "Green Hydrogen" - that is hydrogen that is made from renewable energy sources. We get to learn about what this process looks like, as well as infrastructure needs, and obstacles to overcome.  So how does this all fit into the mining industry? Renewable energy sources rely heavily on the global supply chain of mined materials. Without these mined materials there would be no way to create green energy sources such as wind turbines, and the recent disruptions to the global supply chain have proven the need for reliable sources of these materials.  Emily and Alicia also dig into how incorporating renewable resources and hydrogen directly into the mine site infrastructure could not only benefit the mines by providing clean, reliable energy to reduce their carbon footprint, but it could also benefit the surrounding communities by providing a lasting economic source after the mine has ceased operations.  Be sure to tune in to the full episode to learn more!

In this episode of On the Rocks Podcast, host Emily King sits down with Zainab Usman, the Director of the Africa Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and author of "Economic Diversification in Nigeria: The Politics of Building a Post-Oil Economy". Zainab and Emily dig into the discussion of managing natural resources in different countries and economies, especially those rich in oil and mineral commodities.  One of the key themes discussed in the episode is similarities and differences between countries that are rich in oil and gas versus mined commodities. Examples include: Similar - These are all non-renewable, natural resources, and important to many economic and industrial activities.  Similar - Revenues tend to be quite large, generated by exports, and typically captured by the government. Because of this, there is a strong external dimension, meaning the economies are vulnerable to the volatility to the international pricing of these commodities. Different - The process of extraction is very different. The enclave nature of oil extraction and production can be very dissociated from the rest of the economy, and the jobs created can be very minimal. The mining sector also has an enclave nature, but it tends to be more labor intensive and have more people engaged.  Different - The scale of revenues generated tend to be different, with crude oil the scale of revenues tend to be much larger than the mining sector due to the dynamics of the global market. Zainab also challenges the idea of the "resource curse", due to many countries that have been able to successfully manage their natural resources for economic growth. The key, according to Zainab, is to identify the broader challenges that need to be addressed and get the diagnosis of the problem right.
