Beryl updates us on the happenings at Rotary and how it os an inclusive organisation.
Jeanne Malgioglio has been running Binky Patrol's Connecticut chapter for years, and she's figured out something a lot of volunteers never do: how to ask for money without hating every second of it. In this episode, Susan Finch sits down with Jeanne to talk through what actually works when it comes to local fundraising — and what's mostly a waste of time. Jeanne shares why she skips the big community foundation grant cycles (too many hoops, too many closed windows) and goes straight to Rotary clubs, utility companies, car dealerships, and local businesses that want to be part of something good. She walks through how she builds her outreach letters — short, authentic, and focused on a specific urgent need — and why she tailors each one rather than sending a generic blast. They also dig into the power of Facebook community pages and neighborhood groups, how to make your events visible without being pushy, and how the next generation of volunteers — including students — are already taking initiative and learning to fundraise on their own. If your chapter needs materials or money and you're not sure where to start, this one's for you.

In this episode, we take a ride through one of our favorite rabbit holes — how the world changed insanely fast across just a handful of generations… and how that speed has completely reshaped the way we live, communicate, listen to music, drive cars, raise kids, and even think about time itself.We start with a viral nostalgia post that sparked a massive reaction online and quickly realize that what feels “normal” depends entirely on when you were born. From the Silent Generation to Gen Alpha, we unpack how each group grew up in a totally different technological reality — rotary phones, party lines, and answering machines… all the way to smartphones, streaming, and kids who've never known a world without touchscreens.Generations & Tech Deep DiveAlong the way we revisit:The weirdly communal (and slightly chaotic) days of shared phone lines and busy signals. Generations & Tech Deep DiveDial-up internet — when going online meant tying up the house phone and praying no one picked it up. Generations & Tech Deep DiveRecording songs off the radio, burning CDs, and the lawless Napster era that changed music forever. Generations & Tech Deep DiveThe evolution from pagers and car phones to today's always-connected digital existence. Generations & Tech Deep DiveHow cars, communication, and even our tolerance for risk and convenience have shifted with each generation. Generations & Tech Deep DiveWhat starts as nostalgia turns into a bigger question:Are generational differences really about age — or about the technology that shaped our formative years?This one is part history, part cultural therapy session, and part “how did we survive that?” storytelling. If you've ever tried explaining to a teenager what rewinding a cassette meant, this conversation is for you.This week we accidentally turned a simple nostalgia conversation into a full-blown generational investigation… and possibly a group therapy session for anyone who remembers when the internet made noise.After stumbling across a viral post that set the comment section on fire, we started asking a simple question:Why do people from different generations remember reality so differently?Turns out, it might have something to do with growing up in completely different technological universes.We're talking about a journey that starts with shared phone lines, rotary dials, and answering machines that ate your cassette tape… and ends with kids today who can FaceTime someone across the planet before they can tie their shoes.Generations & Tech Deep DiveIn this episode we revisit:The chaos of party-line telephones, where privacy was basically a myth and your neighbor might be listening. Generations & Tech Deep DiveDial-up internet — when logging on meant sacrificing the household phone and waiting through robot screeches like you were summoning technology from the underworld. Generations & Tech Deep DiveThe golden era of recording songs off the radio, burning CDs for your friends, and pretending Napster wasn't definitely illegal. Generations & Tech Deep DiveThe evolution from pagers and brick phones to today's pocket supercomputers that somehow still run out of battery by 2 p.m. Generations & Tech Deep DiveHow every generation thinks the one after them is ruining everything… while also using technology they don't fully understand. Generations & Tech Deep DiveSomewhere along the way we realized this isn't just nostalgia — it's about how insanely fast culture, risk, communication, music, and even attention spans have changed in just a few decades.If you've ever:Yelled “GET OFF THE INTERNET, I'M TRYING TO MAKE A CALL,”Owned a phone that could survive a nuclear winter,Or tried explaining rewinding a tape to someone born after 2010……this episode is for you.Cheers!m&t

Además, Tricia Sikes participa como coanfitriona del programa.Lanzamos nuestro primer episodio en el verano de 2022 y, sinceramente, considerando el grupo demográfico con el que trabajamos, no teníamos idea de si el proyecto despegaría. Para nuestra sorpresa y diversión, nuestra audiencia ha ido creciendo —“poco a poco”. Hasta la fecha contamos con más de dos mil oyentes alrededor del mundo, principalmente en Estados Unidos, Canadá y México. Consideramos que esto es un gran logro, especialmente si tomamos en cuenta que buena parte de nuestro público objetivo apenas está descubriendo lo que son los podcasts, y mucho menos incorporándolos a su vida diaria.El enfoque principal de TLATC es descubrir qué es lo que resulta tan atractivo de esta zona para los extranjeros que viven y trabajan aquí —ya sea de tiempo completo o parcial—; por qué deciden mudarse; y qué consideran que merece mayor atención. Esperamos capturar y preservar las numerosas historias que la comunidad de expatriados/imigrantes tiene sobre la historia y evolución del área, así como nuestro impacto en ella. Sin embargo, no siempre seguimos un guion rígido, por lo que nuestras conversaciones a menudo nos llevan por territorios inexplorados.
Most business owners assume strong relationships are enough to hold a company together. This episode explains why that belief can create serious risk, and how the right agreements can prevent years of conflict. In this episode, Frankie and Sarah are joined by returning guest Denise Branton, Lawyer and Owner, Byron Street Legal, to break down why shareholder agreements matter more than most business owners realize, especially in family businesses and closely held companies. What to expect: Why “we trust each other” is not a substitute for clear legal planning Common misconceptions around shareholder agreements in family and friend-owned businesses How shareholder agreements help manage conflict, decision-making, and exits What happens when a shareholder dies, becomes disabled, or wants out Why template agreements and one-size-fits-all solutions often fall short The importance of valuation clarity, including when certified business valuations make sense How shareholder agreements intersect with estate planning, and why ignoring this link creates problems And more!

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: February 111, 2026Name of Podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS10: E3: Kendra Erika - Behind The BondSHOW SUMMARY:A standing ovation at a Boca Raton restaurant set the stage for a career that would span club anthems, jazz standards, and a daring reinvention shaped by risk and timing. We sit down with Kendra Erika—multiple Billboard Dance Club #1 artist—to map the journey from karaoke nights and Sinatra schooling to a Bond-inspired album and a string of Vegas dates that showcase a new sonic identity.Kendra opens up about the strategy that turned a supposed industry taboo into a win: dropping Self Control during the quiet week between Christmas and New Year's, when the release calendar goes silent. She breaks down how DJ relationships, club spins, and mix shows drive Billboard dance charting, why accolades are confirmation rather than identity, and how consistency is the real magic potion. We also dig into the craft: writing by conversation, capturing melodies on voice memos at midnight, and treating remakes as re-stylizations that honor the original while stamping your own signature. Her new single Golden Eye, produced with Myron McKinley, channels cabaret swing and Peggy Lee's Fever, revealing the “quiet power” at the core of her evolving sound.Beyond the studio, Kendra talks acting projects, reading charts with live bands in Vegas, and grounding herself through golf and Rotary service. She shares a candid take on songs that felt forced during polarizing times, and why letting ideas arrive on their own terms often yields the work that lasts. If you're curious about how artists pivot without losing momentum—or how to turn club credibility into a cinematic, jazz-forward lane—you'll find a smart, generous blueprint here.Stream now, pre-save License To Thrill, and join us for a behind-the-scenes look at a reinvention done right.

David Mazzei may well have the best-sounding turbocharged rotary on the planet, but how he chased down that elusive F1 V10 sound with this masterpiece of an engine is somewhat unexpected.Rotary engines are often labelled as temperamental and unreliable, but David Mazzei of Formula Mazzei believes the opposite. In his view, rotaries can be among the most reliable engines when properly understood.

Cal is joined by co-host Linda Wiggins (AKA Wigs) who also assists with research and development of the monthly segment Cactus Connections. Additionally, Tricia Sikes assists with co-hosting the show.We dropped our first podcast in the summer of 2022. And, honestly, given the demographic we are working with, we had absolutely no idea whether any of it would fly. To our amusement and surprise, however, our listening base is growing --“poco a poco.” To date we have over two thousand listeners from around the world--mostly from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. We feel this is a major accomplishment considering much of our target audience hasn't yet discovered podcasts, much less decided to incorporate them into their daily lives. The primary focus of TLATC is to ascertain what it is that foreign nationals living and working here--full or part time-- find so attractive about the area; why they move here; and what they think is deserving of more attention. We hope to capture and store the many stories the expatriate community has about the history and evolution of the area and our impact on it. However, we don't necessarily stick to a script, so our conversations often lead us to some unchartered territory. "Please Like, Subscribe, and Comment where ever you pick up your favorite podcasts.

We dive into the common pitfall of new engineers: the urge to provide solutions before understanding the existing environment. Drawing parallels between manufacturing and recent Rotary District training, we explore why a "Health Check" is vital for both machines and organizations. We discuss the importance of listening to the voices and "baggage" of an old facility before attempting to rewrite its history. You'll also learn about reciprocal teaching, a method that moves beyond lecturing to create true engagement and knowledge retention.We also tackle technical questions from the community, including a deep dive into NFC security on the 5034 IO. While some suggest disabling it for security, we look at the balance between defense-in-depth and the necessity of troubleshooting tools. Other topics include configuring gateways on the SIM IP, designing rotary phase converters, and the distinct, unmistakable smell of "magic smoke." Whether you are preparing for a week in the lab or heading out to a job site, these insights will help you approach your work with more confidence and perspective.Helping you become a better technician so you will always be in demandNot sure what video to watch next?

The podcast opens with Susanne Rea and Mukesh Malhotra, the co-founders of the World's Greatest Meal, launched in 2012 with a clear objective: to create a simple and accessible way for Rotary clubs and supporters to raise funds for End Polio Now. The idea encourages people to share a meal and donate what they might otherwise spend on eating out, with events ranging from formal dinners to informal gatherings in homes, workplaces and community venues.The discussion then turns to leadership development in the United Kingdom, with Karen Eveleigh from Faringdon Rotary Club in Oxfordshire outlining the Rotary Developing Future Leaders programme.Developing Future Leaders is an accredited qualification delivered in schools and colleges across England, including mainstream settings and those supporting learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.The podcast is also joined by round-the-world sailor Jasmine Harrison while sailing in the South Atlantic from St Helena to Recife in Brazil on the latest leg of the Mini Globe Race. It is a remarkable interview captured while Jasmine was sailing in the middle of the ocean.The 26-year-old Rotarian from Thirsk in North Yorkshire discusses the voyage so far, and the challenges she now faces in the closing stages of the round-the-world race which finishes in Antigua in March. ---You have been listening to 'Unscripted', the official podcast of Rotary in Great Britain & Ireland.Unscripted is hosted by Dave King and Alicia Reade.If you'd like to find out more about Rotary or join us, visit rotarygbi.org/join and read more stories in Rotary Magazine at magazine.rotarygbi.org.You can listen to our archive wherever you found this podcast.

In this episode, I'm coming to you a little tired, very real, and recording late from my hotel room in New York City.I almost skipped recording this week, but consistency has been a big focus for me in 2026, especially with the podcast. So instead of a perfectly planned episode, I'm sharing an off-the-cuff check-in and some behind-the-scenes of what's been going on lately.I talk about traveling between Portland, Oregon and New York City, speaking at events, college visits with my oldest son, and pulling off a big surprise for my dad by officially joining Rotary. I also share why community, face-to-face connection, and taking the online offline feels more important than ever right now.I give a preview of my upcoming talk at Inman Connect in New York, where I'm sharing what's actually working on Instagram right now, especially when it comes to Reels, Stories, and DMs. If you're a real estate agent or business owner who doesn't want to be a full-time content creator, this conversation is for you.We also talk about navigating social media during heavy or uncertain times, leaning into who you are instead of chasing trends, and why no app, tool, or AI can ever replace you.This episode is part personal check-in, part behind-the-scenes, and part reminder that real connection still matters.In this episode, we cover:Why I almost skipped recording this podcast (and why I didn't)Traveling for speaking gigs and college visitsSpeaking at Inman Connect New YorkWhat's actually working on Instagram right nowReels, Stories, and DMs for real estate professionalsWhy connection beats perfection on social mediaTaking the online offline in 2026Joining Rotary and getting involved in local communityNavigating content during heavy or uncertain timesWhy there's no app or AI tool that can replace youIf you enjoyed this episode, I'd love to hear from you.

Three horror nerds sat down to calmly discuss The Black Phone (2021), directed by Scott Derrickson.That did not happen.Instead, we immediately spiraled into an emotional basement and started yelling about ghost children, cursed rotary phones, and Ethan Hawke wearing enough masks to legally qualify as a Halloween store franchise.We break down how The Black Phone is somehow:A Supernatural ghost story A kidnapping survival thriller A coming-of-age movie And a reminder that the 1970s were just Violence and Vibes Scott Derrickson really said, “Let's emotionally destroy some children but in a wholesome teamwork way,” and we respect the craftsmanship.We scream about:The Grabber's unsettling calm His deeply aggressive snack etiquette Why every horror basement is structurally perfect for crimes How the ghost kids run the most organized afterlife call center in cinema history Then we absolutely lose control speculating about The Black Phone 2 (also directed by Scott Derrickson), because horror sequels never stop and neither does trauma. Will the phone upgrade? Will the ghosts unionize? Will Ethan Hawke show up in even MORE masks like he's collecting them Pokémon-style? We demand answers the movie legally cannot provide yet.At some point this episode fully derails into:Ranking haunted objects (phone vs TV vs mirror vs possessed Nokia that will not die)Debating if kids in horror movies ever get summer vacations? Accidently turning the podcast into a "Justice for Ghost Children" advocacy group. We also give love to how The Black Phone feels like a modern throwback to Stephen King-style childhood horror while still being mean, nasty, and emotionally rude in all the right ways.By the end of the episode, we're convinced:Never answer mysterious phones Never go into the basementGhost children are better at teamwork than adultsCREEP-O-RAMA is: Store: CREEP-O-RAMAYouTube: @creep-o-ramaJosh: @joshblevesqueArtwork: @bargainbinblasphemyTheme: @imfigureAudio: @stranjlove

Enneagram 2.0 on a Tuesday? You heard that right! Our hosts have some exciting news to share!In this very special episode, Urânio Paes and Beatrice Chestnut greet Nisha Advani, Enneagram coach and corporate consultant. In a heartfelt conversation, Nisha share meaningful insights on the enneagram, carreer and personal journey. Learn more about her:Born and grew up in Calcutta, India. Was middle daughter of 4 children. Went to Catholic school for 13 years and was active in many extra-curricular activities. Came alone to the USA at age 17 as a Rotary exchange student; attended senior year at a local public school, and lived with a Caucasion family for a year. Town had 5,000 people and almost everyone recognized me as "their" exchange student (my birth city had over 13 million at that time and I was a nonentity.) Came to USA to study psychology and in my path, after a few detours, found social/organizational psych which was a perfect fit. Always knew i had to be very well qualified and differentiated as in India life can be fiercely competitive and it is a numbers game as well. Got an MBA to support employability, worked in NYC for some years in corporate, got my green card through horrendous circumstances, and decided to go back to school for psych. Got married to a man who was well settled in India while I was working on my doctorate. He was very supportive of my finishing my studies. Changed my dissertation topic to do a more interesting cross-cultural study on conflict resolution and spent time in India collecting data. Was too difficult to do my research in India and eventually I returned alone to NYC. Had our first child alone while there and fortunately he got his green card soon after I graduated. Have lived in CA since graduation. Worked in OD and LD in different companies for almost 20 years and about 10 years ago started my own practice as a leadership coach and OD consultant. Volunteer in a South Asian domestic violence organization. Do mindfulness meditation and yoga a few times/weeks. Have 2 children, 1 little grandchild whom I learn from continuously including with my Enneagram lens, and am in close touch with my siblings, relatives, dear friends over the years. Grateful to be living in the Bay Area. Life is abundant!Like learning about the Enneagram from Bea and Uranio?

Feeling stretched too thin? Wondering how your nonprofit will survive the next wave of challenges? You're not alone.As we head into 2026, nonprofit leaders are asking tough questions: Where is funding going? Why is donor behavior shifting? How can we keep our teams motivated in the face of burnout and uncertainty?This week, I'm joined by Rob Harter — veteran nonprofit executive, leadership coach, and host of the long-running Nonprofit Leadership Podcast — to explore what's really happening across the sector, and where the hope lies. Drawing from his decades of experience, his writing on organizational health and leadership, and the hundreds of interviews he's conducted on the Nonprofit Leadership Podcast, Rob offers a hopeful — but honest — roadmap for social impact organizations navigating change.
In 2026, many Western governments have pulled back funding and reduced their commitments to the United Nations. And later this month, the United States will officially withdraw from the World Health Organization. Today, civic organizations like Rotary represent a powerful “third force” in global affairs. For example, in 1988, alongside UNICEF and others, Rotary and the WHO became founding partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, or GPEI. The campaign now stands as one of the largest, most successful public health efforts to date. Leadership from the GPEI visited Rotary International Headquarters to discuss the status of the campaign today.
Pivoting With PurposeYou can outgrow a title, an office, and even a version of yourself—and that's the point. Kelly sits down with Nikki Ahlgren to unpack the real pivot from C-suite stability to values-first entrepreneurship, where clarity and presence become the operating system for both work and family. Nikki shares how she navigated the gray zone between identities, let go of the need to prove through late-night perfection, and rebuilt a business around outcomes, trust, and high-touch relationships.We dive into the strategy behind effective executive search: defining success before sourcing, avoiding noisy inbound channels, and running disciplined research that targets the right 300 candidates instead of the wrong 600 apps. Nikki explains why she shifted to flat-fee pricing to eliminate misaligned incentives and earn CFO-level trust, and how she balances being a true talent partner with sustainable growth. We also talk seasonal decisions—like giving up office space—and why the ego tied to “looking big” can block what actually works for your life.Community shows up as a quiet superpower throughout—Rotary connections, industry conferences, and intentional networking that trades volume for meaningful one-on-ones. And because entrepreneurship is a family sport, Nikki shares how a playful side venture with her kids turned into a lesson in branding, service, and ownership. If you're standing in the in-between, wondering whether to leap, you'll hear practical tactics and a humane philosophy: pick the lane that brings joy, set clear intentions, and let clarity attract the right opportunities.If this conversation resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who's ready for a values-first pivot, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find us.

Raymond E. Foster is a leadership author, educator, and civic leader whose work bridges real-world decision-making with timeless principles of character, accountability, and service. A former law-enforcement professional and longtime leadership instructor, Raymond is the author of nine books including The Temple Within and Chasing the Surge: Ten Thousand Rides into the American Night, and co-author of Leadership: Texas Hold 'em Style, a widely used leadership book that examines judgment, risk, and responsibility through lived experience rather than abstract theory. He currently serves in senior leadership roles across civic and nonprofit organizations, including Rotary, the Chamber of Commerce, and Freemasonry, where he is known for mentoring emerging leaders and building high-trust institutions. Whether writing, teaching, or leading in the community, Raymond focuses on one central question: how ordinary people make sound decisions under pressure—a theme he explores in Leadership: Texas Hold 'em Style, where poker and card playing become a practical metaphor for leadership in the real world. During this episode, we discuss the the topic of how the game of Texas Hold 'em relates to leadership. Inspired by his book "Leadership: Texas Hold 'em Style" we discuss the interconnectivity of the card game, to how we show up as leaders, and influence, support and empower our teams.

By the end of the first week of the new year, nearly 77% of New Year's resolutions have already failed (Norcross, 1988). That's discouraging—but it doesn't mean you should stop trying. It means most of us are setting resolutions in ways that don't work. You aren't weak or lazy. More often, the problem is a misaligned system—one that relies too heavily on willpower and short-lived motivation. Motivation naturally fades over time, even when our intentions are good. Think about how often you enthusiastically agree to plans weeks in advance, only to feel tired or unmotivated when the day arrives. Or how many times you've started a project—cleaning a room, taking a course, planning a trip—only to watch your early excitement slowly disappear. We're excellent at strong intentions; follow-through is harder. The good news? Not all resolutions fail. That same research found that 19% of resolutions are still maintained two years later (Norcross, 1988). We just don't spend enough time learning from what does work. Three DON'Ts 1. Don't make life-changing, all-or-nothing resolutions Resolutions that try to overhaul everything at once are overwhelming and fragile. Examples: "New year, new me—I'll reinvent my career, relationships, and lifestyle." "I'll work out every single day this year." "I'll triple my income or eliminate all my debt." Why this fails: One setback can feel like total failure, making it easy to quit entirely. 2. Don't set shame-driven goals Goals rooted in self-criticism, embarrassment, or self-loathing undermine motivation. Examples: "I need to get my life together." "I have to lose weight so I don't look bad." "This year I'll stop being lazy." Why this fails: Shame erodes self-belief and increases anxiety, making lasting change harder—not easier. 3. Don't set vague resolutions Unclear goals are difficult to act on. Examples: "I want to be healthier." "I'll work on myself." "I need better boundaries." Why this fails: Without clear actions or markers of success, procrastination takes over and goals fade. Three DOs Meaning Choose one small, consistent practice that reflects what truly matters to you. Examples: "Every Sunday evening, I'll spend an hour writing, painting, or making music." "Once a week, I'll take a phone-free walk to reflect." Purpose Connect your resolution to generativity—contributing beyond yourself (Erikson, 1950). Examples: "I'll volunteer or mentor through an organization like SCORE or Rotary." Connection Create simple, recurring rituals with others. Example: "I'll schedule a weekly call, walk, or shared meal and treat it as a real commitment." Traditional New Year's resolutions don't fail because people lack discipline. They fail because they're poorly designed—too big, too vague, or rooted in shame. When resolutions focus on "fixing what's wrong," they often lead to self-criticism once early motivation fades. In contrast, resolutions grounded in meaning, purpose, and connection are more sustainable. If you're among the 77% whose resolution didn't stick, don't fall into the shame trap. A broken resolution isn't failure—it's feedback. Reset your expectations, adjust your strategy, and start again with something manageable. Move away from punishment and toward practices that bring joy, meaning, and connection. That shift alone can make the difference between another abandoned resolution and one that truly lasts. May your year be filled with meaning, purpose, and connections that sustain you. (CREDITS: PSYCHOLOGY TODAY)

Linda Blair joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the start of the 2026 Kewanee Area United Way (KAUW) fundraising campaign. KAUW's annual fundraising campaign is now underway across the Tri-Counties, following an October kickoff event hosted by the Kewanee Kiwanis and Rotary clubs. Executive Director Linda Blair highlights a challenging year, with donations down as much as 40%. Many contributions may be tax-deductible, and ongoing workplace campaigns—where employees pledge a small amount from each paycheck—are a key source of funding. United Way tracks how funds are used, offering donors transparency and accountability. Current projects include the successful Shoes for Kids initiative, which partners with school systems to provide footwear to children in need. The organization also supports food assistance and utility aid through grants to groups like the Salvation Army. Community involvement remains crucial as the demand for assistance continues to rise. Even so, recent support from businesses like Peoples National Bank and Great Dane—recent donations include $8,300 and almost $4,000, respectively—has helped the organization continue funding for local agencies, including food pantries, youth programs, and the Shoes for Kids initiative. KAUW helped 15 agencies in 2025, providing over $80,000 in contributions. The amount of money and number of agencies they can help are dependent on donations from businesses and individuals. Community fundraisers such as Jail and Bail, trivia contests, and Rock and Roll Bingo are all planned to boost support in 2026. Donations can be made online, by mail at KAUW, PO Box 426, Kewanee, IL, 61443, or in person at 200 East Street South. Follow KAUW on Facebook and stay up-to-date with information.
