Anthony Phelan has one of those faces that everyone knows, but we're not sure exactly where from. Currently treading the boards in Death of a Salesman at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne with Anthony LaPaglia and Alison Whyte, Anthony has been on our screens and stages for much of the last 45 years. Here, he shares some hilarious moments from his first stage appearances and a recent brush with fame in the pickle aisle of his local supermarket. Anthony is a wobbling vegetarian, a keen vegetable grower, an occasional dog whisperer and a keen cook and jam maker, which makes him perfectly cast as a guest on our show.

In this episode of the New Books Network, we talk with Jeremy Tiang about his English translation of The Formosa Exchange (Honford Star, 2026)—which will be released on September 18, 2026 (but is available for preorder).Tiang is a novelist, playwright, and translator based in New York. He has translated more than thirty books from Chinese to English—including Zou Jingzhi's Ninth Building, longlisted for the 2023 International Booker Prize—and has served as a judge for the National Book Award for translated literature. Beyond translation, his novel State of Emergency won the Singapore Literature Prize in 2018, and his play Salesman之死 won a Obie Award for Outstanding New Play in 2023. Originally published in Mandarin in 2021 as 新寶島 and winner of that year's Taiwan Literature Award, The Formosa Exchange is a work of speculative fiction by Taiwanese novelist Huang Chongkai (黃崇凱). The novel kicks off with a fantastical occurrence: one night, the entire populations of Taiwan and Cuba swap places, with Taiwanese people ending up on the island of Cuba and Cuban people on the island of Taiwan. This “Great Exchange” becomes a lens for examining national identity, indigeneity, and colonialism, especially with reference to Taiwan's and Cuba's shared position in the shadow of their much larger neighbors of China and the United States. Scholars and learners across history, political science, anthropology, literature, and beyond will find much food for thought in The Formosa Exchange. The novel is dense with allusions—it nods to Western thinkers like John Mearsheimer and Claude Lévi-Strauss, while also weaving in references to Taiwanese and Cuban literature, art, and film. Anthony Kao is a writer who intersects international affairs and cultural criticism. He founded/edits Cinema Escapist—a publication exploring the sociopolitical context behind global film and television—and also writes for outlets like The Guardian, Al Jazeera, The Diplomat, and Eater.

On this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with entrepreneur, nightlife promoter, and Jersey Jungle Juice founder Tim Gillen for one of the most personal conversations ever featured on the podcast. While many people know Tim as the guy behind packed venues, successful promotions, and one of New Jersey's fastest-growing spirits brands, very few know the story behind everything that happened when his life changed almost overnight.Tim shares how an unexpected and life-threatening health crisis forced him to stop moving at full speed and completely rethink what success, purpose, and resilience really mean. After years of building relationships, creating unforgettable nightlife experiences, and growing his business, he suddenly found himself fighting for something much bigger than sales, marketing, or expansion. He was fighting for his life.Throughout the conversation, Tim Gillen opens up about discovering he had a severely restricted airway, the frightening moments that led to emergency surgery, flatlining in the hospital, and waking up to a completely different reality. He explains what it has been like living with a tracheostomy, adapting to major lifestyle changes, and continuing to run a business while facing challenges most people never see.Beyond the health journey, this episode dives into the mindset that helped Tim refuse to quit. From his early days working in New Jersey nightlife to helping build legendary events alongside longtime collaborators, he explains why relationships, trust, consistency, and showing up for people have always mattered more than shortcuts. His philosophy of surrounding himself with people he genuinely believes in has shaped every chapter of his career.Luis Guzman and Tim also discuss the realities of entrepreneurship, building a recognizable brand, earning trust with customers, creating authentic partnerships, and why personal integrity still matters in business. They explore the difference between chasing money and creating lasting value, along with the importance of staying true to yourself even when opportunities tempt you to compromise your principles.The conversation naturally shifts into topics that every creative entrepreneur can relate to, including burnout, discipline, fitness, confidence, handling criticism, and learning to slow down without giving up on ambitious goals. Tim's story serves as a reminder that setbacks don't always signal the end of the journey. Sometimes they become the reason you discover a stronger version of yourself.In this episode, you'll hear about:Tim Gillen's journey from New Jersey nightlife into entrepreneurship.Building the Jersey Jungle Juice brand from the ground up.Surviving a near-death health scare and adjusting to life after emergency surgery.Why networking, honesty, and long-term relationships create lasting business success.The mental side of entrepreneurship, resilience, fitness, and personal growth.Lessons on leadership, perseverance, branding, and never giving up when life changes unexpectedly.If you've been looking for motivation without empty clichés, you'll appreciate how open both Luis Guzman and Tim Gillen are throughout this conversation.

Hello! My name is Marc Allie. I'm a teacher, blogger, author, and pretty much the biggest nerd you'll ever meet. As a longtime Video Store Podcast listener, I am thrilled to be a member of the staff. For our staff picks this week, I've got four recommendations from the varied career of Kurt Russell.Escape from New York (1981)Escape from New York is the film that cemented Kurt Russell's transition into a motion picture powerhouse. The film was directed by John Carpenter and was written by Carpenter and Nick Castle. The movie has a low budget, but it became a cult classic over time. Kurt Russell plays Snake Plisskin, a hardened but cool anti-hero that became an action icon.Used Cars (1980)Used Cars is a lesser known film. It was directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale, and produced by Steven Spielberg, so it's got quite a pedigree behind it. The movie, as you might expect, is about used cars. Two rival used car dealerships sit right across the highway from each other. Rudy Russo, Kurt Russell's character, works at the less reputable of the two car lots. His performance as a slick used car salesman shows off his comedic chops.Soldier (1998) Soldier was directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. Kurt Russell plays the “Soldier” of the title. His name is Todd 3465. That's right, he doesn't have a last name, only a number. Todd has been raised from birth to be an emotionless soldier. Todd is the best of the best, but when the “newer model” of soldier comes along, he's tossed out with the trash and has to make a new life for himself. Russell relies on his physical prowess as well as expressions and body language in this nearly wordless role.Executive Decision (1996)The last movie on our recommendations list is Executive Decision, an action thriller directed by Stuart Bird. The film mixes military action, espionage, and suspense to great effect. It's one of the better “Die Hard on an airplane” movies of the 1990s. Kurt Russell plays an intelligence analyst who is thrust into an impossible situation: board a plane filled with terrorists while it's already in the air.Thanks for coming into the store today. Let me know what you think of my staff picks! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.videostorepodcast.com

He’s back in Australia right now to front another Miller play – one the great works in the American canon – playing Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman. A limited two-week season kicks off Tuesday, August 11 at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne, before moving on to Brisbane. LaPaglia joins us for a chat about acting and art, family and football – and what he wished he'd known 20 years ago.

What separates an average automotive salesperson from someone capable of selling more than 40 cars per month? "The more you familiarize yourself with the customer, the more you're going to be able to use that for yourself to build your business as a car salesman." - Josh MacPhee In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with Josh MacPhee, a top-performing sales consultant at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac in Moncton, Canada, who sold an incredible 326 vehicles in only his second year in the automotive industry and went on to achieve a 40-car month. Josh reveals the mindset, daily habits, customer-service strategies, and modern tools that helped him rapidly build a powerful client base. From relentless follow-up and constant availability to using social media as a relationship-building engine, his approach challenges the traditional way many sales professionals operate. "Be kind, be honest, really help people, and care about what they're trying to accomplish in buying a vehicle from you." - Josh MacPhee You'll also hear how Josh transformed his experience working in a skateboard shop into a thriving automotive career, multiplied his results far beyond industry averages, and created relationships that continue producing business long after the initial sale. Whether you are brand-new to the showroom or an experienced salesperson looking to break through a performance plateau, this episode delivers practical strategies you can immediately adapt to generate more conversations, strengthen customer loyalty, and sell more vehicles. The numbers are impressive, but the process behind them is where the real value lives. Listen now to discover what Josh does differently. Key Takeaways: ✅ Building strong customer relationships and offering exceptional service are central to achieving consistent high sales figures. ✅ Utilizing social media platforms such as Facebook and Facebook Marketplace can significantly increase referral-based sales. ✅ Regular and effective follow-up is critical in maintaining customer interest and converting leads into sales. ✅ Working closely with managers and leveraging their expertise can help refine sales techniques and improve results. ✅ Embracing technology and community engagement can create additional pathways to expand a personal brand and reach in automotive sales. About Josh MacPhee Josh MacPhee is a dynamic and successful automotive sales consultant at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac in Moncton, Canada. With a notable track record of selling 326 units in his second full year and achieving a remarkable 40-car month, Josh has swiftly risen as an influential figure in car sales. Prior to his career in the automotive industry, Josh honed his customer service skills by working at a retail skateboard shop, where he was responsible for cultivating customer relations and building sales initiatives. His commitment to customer service, strategic use of social media for networking, and relentless follow-up tactics are key elements of his sales approach, enabling him to far exceed the national sales averages within his industry. Josh continues to push boundaries and set new records in automotive sales by constantly evolving and adapting his strategies. Embracing the Grind: How Relentless Follow-Up and Customer Service Revolutionize Car Sales Key Takeaways: Emphasize the importance of continuous growth and development, even in challenging markets. Foster a relentless commitment to customer service and follow-up. Leverage technology and team dynamics to excel in sales performance. Relentless Customer Service and Follow-Up in Car Sales In the competitive world of car sales, consistency is key. Josh MacPhee's story illustrates how relentless follow-up and exemplary customer service can create extraordinary success in an environment where most salespeople average less than ten cars monthly. The approach is simple yet profound: make it easy for the customer and be accessible, whether on weekends, late at night, or even during holidays. MacPhee, a sales consultant at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac in Moncton, Canada, credits his success to these values. "I just talk so much and create such a personal level with my conversations that they want to come back," explains MacPhee. His willingness to take calls late a night and work during off-hours underscores a broader principle: in a performance-based industry, accessibility can set you apart from competitors. This dedication to being available whenever the customer needs support leaves a lasting impact, evidenced by customers who choose him because he's consistently available and knowledgeable. "You wasted no time to get back to me and talk to me the whole time you were off on vacation," a customer reportedly said, highlighting trust and reliability as cornerstones of MacPhee's successful strategy. Building a Sales Network through Referrals and Community Engagement Effective car sales extend beyond the dealership floor—into community networking and robust referral systems. For MacPhee, referrals significantly contribute to his sales numbers. "We offer $200 for a referral," he states, a small investment when aiming for a fruitful long-lasting business relationship. Beyond financial incentives, MacPhee emphasizes relationship-building by engaging customers on social media platforms like Facebook, maintaining the connection long after the initial sale. Moreover, MacPhee leverages local insights and community relationships. "If it's legit, think about this: why the hell would you not want to incentivize somebody?" he argues, stressing the value of forging lasting connections within the community. Understanding local relevance, he primes his sales strategy by ensuring his presence is acknowledged beyond the transactional relationship, positioning himself as a reliable advisor in the community. By fostering deep ties, both digital and personal, MacPhee's strategy aligns with broader community-focused practices that drive sustained success. His approach taps into a natural cycle—prioritize existing relationships to expand business, maximizing opportunities for referral-based prospects in a strategy that feeds itself. Harnessing Technology and Team Dynamics In an era where technology plays a transformative role, integrating modern tools into traditional sales processes offers a distinct advantage. However, at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac, MacPhee sees a fusion of personal effort and minimal tech dependence. "Artificial intelligence? What do you mean?" Queries MacPhee, indicating an opportunity for technological advancement that complements his human-centric approach. Still, the power of a cohesive work environment shouldn't be underestimated. Through collaboration with managers and peers, he builds a reservoir of sales knowledge and refined tactics. Allying with mentors and learning actively, MacPhee draws from a collective base of expertise that deepens individual knowledge, especially for complex negotiations. "It's important because you're getting a second person in to talk," MacPhee shares, emphasizing the value of team-based sales processes. Such environments promote skill sharing and adaptive learning, as colleagues become resources rather than competitors. Thus, success grows not only from independent initiative but from thriving in a supportive team context. Josh MacPhee's story champions the idea that diligence, customer engagement, and a strategic approach to relationships can transcend the industry norm, catapulting sales beyond expected metrics. Insights from his journey reveal that relentless dedication to customers and collaborative learning environments can redefine success. Though not overly reliant on modern technology, salespeople like MacPhee showcase the power of grinding hard, building a network, and making each customer interaction meaningful. Through this lens, car sales emerge not as a routine job, but as a dynamic business driven by personalities who exceed boundaries through sheer tenacity and astute connection-making.

From 07/23 Hour 1: EB was sizzling up a steak last night when a salesman knocked on his door and distracted him for a couple of minutes.
Boomer and Gio dive into their favorite things about Fire Island multiple callers that Al usually blocks get on the air. Is it better to work in the morning or the afternoon? Jerry's update starts with talking about Anthony Volpe finally coming through in a big spot. The guys debate whether or not rivalries in golf are good for the sport. Gio gives a review of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.
Boomer and Gio open with makeup fixes, a SiriusXM recap, Harbaugh's flat Giants speech, Jerry's dinner report, Caballero's pitch clock issue during the Yankees' split, the Mets' abysmal defense, Heyman's X fight, and defining "cuck." Then, they dive into Fire Island, rogue callers slipping past Al, morning vs. afternoon shifts, Anthony Volpe's big moment, golf rivalries, and a Death of a Salesman review. Hour three brings a CBS Sports graphic blunder, Max Fried's return, secret MLB rule changes, early football hype, Cleveland's LeBron pitch, and golf course drink etiquette.

Returning to the podcast today is UK political commentator, broadcaster and author Iain Dale to talk to Hugh about the arrival of Andy Burnham as prime minister and the death of Iain's friend Ann Widdecombe. Burnham's excellence as a communicator and a political salesman means there's a strong contrast between him and his predecessor. But after being swept to office unopposed, it's not yet clear what he is offering to the British public. How will he handle issues like immigration, defence and the economy, and what have we learned from his cabinet picks? In part two: The killing of Ann Widdecombe has shaken British politics. Despite disagreeing with many of her convictions, Iain and the former Conservative MP had a close relationship. He talks about her life, her views, the growing threat politicians perceive to their safety and the role of social media in coarsening political debate and encouraging extremism.

How can art serve as an act of resistance? In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Jamila Ponton Bragg, founder of JamRock Productions and a leader named to the Broadway Women's Fund "Women to Watch" list. After 20 years in the nonprofit world, Jamila pivoted to theater, co-producing hits like Passover (2021), Death of a Salesman (2022), Tony Nominated Best Play Fat Ham (2023), The Whiz (2024), Gypsy (2024) and Soul Train (2025). A proud African American woman, Jamila is on a mission to ensure women's stories have depth and aren't confined to tropes. She shares how she stayed true to her values while navigating the high-stakes world of Broadway. She shares lessons for rising leaders: •Art is Resistance. In a world that often marginalizes women of color, telling our stories is a powerful way to fight back. •Trust Your Instincts. Surround yourself with "your people"—those whose values and tastes align with your mission. •The Power of Showing Up. Leadership isn't always big gestures; it's the follow-up email, the check-in, and being present for others. •Find Your Mentors. Don't be afraid to send that "cold email." People are often more willing to help than you think. •Keep Your Message Consistent. Reliability and a clear mission build the trust needed to fundraise and lead through tough climates. Jamila's story is a reminder that when we stand in our identity and support one another, we can change the narrative on the world's biggest stages.

What does it really take to build a healthier life without getting lost in trends, misinformation, and quick fixes? In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with entrepreneur, author, and wellness expert Sam Tejada for a deep conversation about modern wellness, preventive health, and the discipline required to create lasting change.Sam shares his incredible journey from becoming a certified lifeguard at just 14 years old to serving as a firefighter and paramedic before launching Liquid Vita, a company focused on helping people take control of their health through data-driven care. Along the way, he explains how his experiences inside emergency medicine completely changed the way he viewed the healthcare system and why he became passionate about prevention instead of simply treating illness after it appears.Luis and Sam dive into the growing movement toward functional medicine, discussing why so many people are questioning traditional healthcare, how lifestyle choices affect long-term health, and why understanding your body is one of the greatest investments you can make. They also unpack the role of toxins, inflammation, nutrition, recovery, and exercise while separating solid information from the hype that often floods social media.The conversation doesn't stop at science. It becomes personal as Luis opens up about his own transformation after losing more than 120 pounds. He shares the mental battles that continue long after the weight comes off, including body dysmorphia, fear of slipping back into old habits, and the daily choice to stay disciplined. Sam offers practical advice for building healthy routines that become part of your identity instead of temporary resolutions.The episode also explores the growing interest in peptides, longevity medicine, biohacking, and advanced health testing. Sam explains how tools like DEXA scans, VO2 Max testing, blood analysis, toxic load testing, and metabolic assessments can provide a clearer picture of overall health instead of relying on guesswork. He also discusses why personalized treatment plans often produce better long-term results than one-size-fits-all wellness trends.Throughout the conversation, both Luis and Sam emphasize that knowledge alone isn't enough. Real change comes from applying what you learn consistently, making better choices every day, and building habits that support the life you want to live. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, business owner, or simply someone looking to improve your health, this episode offers practical insights that extend far beyond fitness.In this episode, you'll hear about:Sam Tejada's journey from firefighter to entrepreneur and founder of Liquid VitaThe difference between reactive medicine and preventive healthcareWhy discipline outlasts motivation when building healthier habitsFunctional medicine, biohacking, peptides, and modern wellnessThe importance of DEXA scans, VO2 Max testing, blood work, and personalized health dataNutrition, inflammation, toxins, recovery, and metabolic healthLuis Guzman's personal weight-loss journey and lessons learned after losing over 120 poundsBuilding a sustainable lifestyle instead of chasing short-term resultsIf you enjoyed this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, be sure to subscribe so you never miss a conversation with entrepreneurs, creatives, and industry leaders who share the real stories behind their success.

Sean Madden built a comedy career out of desperation, a camo wig, and fake job interviews — and the Florida Man character that started as a pandemic joke now draws millions of views and corporate clients who pay him to prank their own HR departments. This conversation on Green Room Radio traces the full arc from selling solar door-to-door in Riverside, California to headlining 500-seat theaters across the country.The episode covers how regional comedy audiences differ between East Coast and West Coast crowds, why Madden tailors his material city by city, and the specific crowd-work tactics he deploys when a set starts going sideways. The Green Room crew press Madden on the real economics of standup comedy — including the eight-year runway before he earned serious money and the 10,000-hour threshold he considers non-negotiable.A comedian who turned rejection letters into a viral character offers a masterclass in persistence, audience psychology, and knowing when desperation is the funniest material you have.
Greg has been doing comedy full time for over 2 decades. Over the last couple of years he's become known for how he'll take a topic like peanut butter and make it the center of attention. His specials like The Champ and The Salesman, along with the fact that he's cohosted a national game show (ABC's The Greatest Average American) have made him a household name. He's coming to Tampa and performing at Side Splitters July 16th through 18th. But before he does, great was nice enough to stop by the show! Greg and Doc talk about opening for Nate Bargatze, deciding to do clean comedy, doing a game show, starting The Consumer's podcast, working on new material, and much much more! Meanwhile on the rest of the show Doc and Mike decide they are very interested to know what Megan Thee Stallion smells like.

“Death of a Drag Queen” opens on the 60th birthday of fictional queen Cram Brulee. Her water is shut off, an eviction notice is on the door and the friends who are supposed to take her out to celebrate keep pushing back their arrival. Inspired by “Death of a Salesman,” the play follows Cram as she grapples with her own fading relevance and mortality. The play opened at Portland’s Echo theater in December 2025 and moved to Triangle Productions before closing this January. It’s back at Triangle for another two-weekend run starting July 11. Playwright Sean Brown joins us to talk more about the show and its renewed run.
In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with media executive, content strategist, and entrepreneur Jermaine Hall for a conversation about building brands, leading creative teams, and finding success without losing sight of what matters most. From his work at BET and Vibe Magazine to launching Level Man, Jermaine shares the lessons he learned while helping legacy media companies adapt to a rapidly changing digital world and why great leadership always starts with understanding people.The conversation opens with an honest look at preparation, creativity, and the hidden work behind great storytelling. Luis and Jermaine discuss why the best interviews, introductions, and content often look effortless even though they're built on hours of research, editing, and refinement. They compare notes on crafting memorable experiences for audiences and explain why respect for someone's time should always be at the center of every creative project.Jermaine also breaks down his philosophy on leadership. Rather than chasing titles, he explains why spending years as one of the "cogs in the machine" gave him the knowledge to eventually become the person creating the vision. Learning every layer of a business—from content creation to operations, budgeting, hiring, and team management—gave him the confidence to build organizations that can grow long after one person's ideas are introduced.One of the most fascinating parts of the discussion explores Jermaine's work helping reshape BET's digital strategy. He shares how his team developed original programming built around creators, nostalgia, and audience connection long before those approaches became common across digital media. The conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at developing original intellectual property, identifying trends before they explode, and finding the right people to execute an idea once the strategy is in place.Their shared love of film, music, and storytelling naturally leads into an extended conversation about directors like Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, performances from Leonardo DiCaprio, and the role nostalgia plays in keeping great art alive across generations. They talk about why some movies continue to resonate decades later, what separates timeless storytelling from passing trends, and how younger generations are rediscovering physical media, movie theaters, CDs, and shared experiences.The episode also explores more personal territory as Jermaine reflects on launching Level Man, a platform created to provide meaningful conversations centered around Black men, identity, culture, business, and personal growth. He discusses the challenges of building mission-driven media while navigating changing business climates and explains why creating spaces for honest conversations still matters.Throughout the episode, you'll hear practical advice for artists, entrepreneurs, marketers, and anyone trying to build a meaningful career in today's digital world.Some of the topics covered include:Building brands that connect with people instead of chasing trends.Leadership, team building, and learning every level of a business.The evolution of digital media, journalism, and content strategy.Why storytelling remains one of the most valuable business skills.Networking in a world dominated by social media and personal branding.Lessons from BET, Vibe Magazine, and Level Man.Creativity, nostalgia, film, music, and the lasting power of great art.If you enjoyed this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts so you never miss a new conversation.

A pest control guy knocked on my door with zero appointment and 30 minutes later I had my credit card out. I had no plans to buy anything that day — so what changed my mind? In this week's lesson, I break down what he did right and how the same communication tactics apply directly to buying houses from sellers. I also share a deal in Warwick, NY where a seller told me "no" on the first call — and we still ended up closing on her house. The lesson: this business is 90% communication. You can have the best offer in town, but if sellers don't know, like, and trust you, they'll sell to someone else who communicates better. If you're a wholesaler or investor in Seattle, Delaware, or the Hudson Valley and have a deal, let's talk.
On this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Brian Juarbe, a food photographer, portrait photographer, content creator, and proud father whose creative path started in a way most artists never expect: completely by accident.What began as a dad wanting better photos of his son's sports moments slowly turned into a full-blown obsession with photography, visual storytelling, and eventually building a recognizable presence in the world of food photography and restaurant content. One unexpected viral photo opened the door, but what kept the momentum alive was something deeper: consistency, curiosity, and an artist's eye for details most people never notice.This conversation goes far beyond cameras, Instagram, and perfectly lit meals.Brian opens up about growing up in a single-parent household, navigating life without a father figure, and how becoming a father himself changed everything. There's an honest discussion about breaking cycles, creating purpose, and making intentional choices when life doesn't hand you a roadmap.Luis and Brian explore what happens when passion arrives later in life and why creativity doesn't always show up in the form you expected.You'll hear stories about:Building a creative identity without formal trainingTurning a viral moment into long-term creative growthFatherhood and creating memories through artThe discipline behind food photography and content creationFinding purpose after setbacks and lossDeveloping a recognizable visual styleBalancing a full-time career while pursuing creative workWhy storytelling matters more than algorithmsOne of the most refreshing parts of this episode is hearing Brian talk about photography as something bigger than content. To him, great photography isn't about posting more. It's about creating emotion. It's about making people feel something through a still image.Luis connects deeply with that idea and shares his own experiences as a creator, talking about perfectionism, creative obsession, and the invisible details artists lose sleep over while everyone else says, “Looks great.”Together they unpack the reality that most creatives know all too well: people only see the finished product.They don't see the hours editing.They don't see the second-guessing.They don't see the dozens of versions before the final one.And they definitely don't see the moments where artists wonder if any of it is even worth it.There's also a fun side to this episode as the conversation shifts into food culture, family traditions, Puerto Rican roots, restaurant experiences, and the memories attached to meals. Brian shares how photographing food became less about showing what's on the plate and more about capturing moments and experiences people connect with emotionally.The discussion also touches on health, balance, and staying grounded while working in a world surrounded by indulgence. For anyone trying to grow creatively without losing themselves in the process, there's a lot here to connect with.What makes Brian's story stand out is that there was no perfect blueprint.No expensive degree.No overnight success.Just showing up, getting better, staying curious, and putting heart into the work.That's the spirit of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman.Creative careers rarely move in straight lines. Sometimes the thing that changes your life starts as a hobby, a side project, or a random photo you almost didn't post.If you're a photographer, content creator, artist, entrepreneur, parent, or someone still trying to figure out what your thing is, this episode is packed with perspective and reminders that purpose can show up in unexpected places.Follow Luis Guzman and the podcast on social media for episode clips, behind-the-scenes moments, upcoming guests, and more conversations built for artists trying to create meaningful careers without losing who they are.Keep creating. Keep showing up. Your story matters.
Relatives of those who died by suicide discovered their loved ones had been active in online forums for those looking for ways to end their lives. They were directed to a retailer selling fatal quantities of sodium nitrite to people in crisis in more than 40 countries. Police and journalists hunted down Kenneth Law, who admitted to selling to hundreds of people worldwide. But authorities wanted to know whether Law was just providing a lethal product — or whether he was actively pushing people in crisis to take it. The CBC podcast “Hunting the Suicide Salesman” recounts the effort to stop Law and shutdown the business of selling sodium nitrite. Host Daemon Fairless goes beyond the criminal investigation and takes an unusually frank and intimate examination of the issue of suicide — including causes, prevention efforts, and the hidden online world for those considering ending their lives.

Welcome to Barn Talk! In today's guest episode, we're joined by Nicole Glenn an agronomist, content creator, and founder of the Farm Company, who's earned a dedicated following by speaking honestly about agriculture, soil health, and her experiences as a young woman in the industry. Nicole grew up on her family's Kentucky farm, traveled all the way to Australia to farm and explore new perspectives, and has since transitioned from working with big ag companies to independent consulting focused on building soil health and farm resiliency. In this wide-ranging conversation, Nicole opens up about her journey from tobacco fields to driving brand-new combines Down Under, why soil biology should matter to every farmer, and the practical steps toward more profitable and sustainable farming.

Nathan Lane just received a Tony nomination for his starring role as Willy Loman in ‘Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.' He's a veteran of the stage – often in comedic and musical roles. But in the role of Loman, which he does eight times a week, he's noticed something different in the audience. “There's an old joke – my job is just to keep 1600 people from coughing. It's kind of true, but when you hear what we hear during ‘Salesman,' you hear people weeping in the dark.” At the age of 70, Lane says this production of ‘Salesman' is the thing he's most proud of. He spoke with ‘Fresh Air' guest interviewer Sam Fragoso, host of the podcast ‘Talk Easy.' Later, Ken Tucker reviews new songs by Ella Langley, Robyn, and Allison Russell.
