This episode is part ten in an ongoing series about brands and how they influence our identities and drive consumerism. In this episode, we are going to examine brands and their values: their true values and then their marketing values (yes, most big companies have both and you might be surprised by the lack of overlap between those two sets of values).  And specifically, we are going to use Everlane as a conduit for this discussion.  We will go all the way back to Everlane's origin to identify what the brand's values were from the beginning.We will get some additional context around SHEIN's purchase of Everlane.We will learn just how much private equity is controlling fashion at this point.Amanda will debunk that myth that Everlane's sale marks the “end” of sustainability in fashion.And we will explore how "Stickergate" involved emotional branding.Listen to Amanda on Creativity In The Time of Capitalism.

TVC 738.3: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with Hall of Fame radio broadcaster Don Sainte-Johnn, author of San Francisco's Last Top 40 Disc Jockey, a memoir of Don's life and career behind the microphone. Topics this segment include how KFRC transitioned from Top 40 radio to big band in 1986—a successful format change that continued for seven years; why Don chose to stay at KFRC as part of the new format; why one benefit of the Magic 61 rebrand was that it allowed Don to interview some of his favorite artists from that genre (including Tony Bennett, Nancy Wilson, and Lionel Hampton); and how baseball Hall of Famer Lou Brock helped Don get a good deal on a new car one day while Don was a radio host in St. Louis. San Francisco's Last Top 40 Disc Jockey is available through Amazon.com.

Gwendolyn Dolske and Rudy Salo welcome Casey Berman: former attorney, founder of Leave Law Behind (the leading coaching program helping attorneys transition into non-legal careers), multipreneur, strategy consultant, speaker, and author, for a discussion about work, identity, happiness, and the courage it takes to choose a different life. Casey knows this territory from the inside. He lived it. And he has spent years helping thousands of attorneys find what he calls their Unique Genius, the specific intersection of talent and joy that, when aligned with their work, produces not just professional success but the deeper contentment that a career in law, for many, was never able to provide. What we explore in this episode: The reality of life inside the legal profession, the hours, the pace, the stress, the culture, and why so many attorneys feel trapped even when their career looks successful from the outside What you can actually do with a law degree that doesn't involve practicing law, and why the answer is far broader and more interesting than most law students are ever told: consulting, compliance, legal technology, entrepreneurship, writing, business development, policy, education, coaching, and more than 100 documented alternatives The specific steps Casey recommends for assessing whether your unhappiness is situational (the wrong firm, the wrong practice area, the wrong city) or fundamental (the wrong career entirely), and why getting that diagnosis right is the most important first step How to get feedback from the people in your life, family, friends, colleagues, mentors, to identify what you are genuinely good at, what lights you up, and where your skills create value outside a courtroom or a contract review Bertrand Russell and The Conquest of Happiness, and why Russell's argument that most human unhappiness is self-generated and rooted in the wrong relationship to work maps precisely onto what Casey has observed in the legal profession for over a decade What Russell wrote about the sunk cost of identity: why we must be willing to let go of what we have invested in, emotionally, financially, intellectually, when it's clear it is not our talent or our strength, and why it is not only acceptable but necessary to grieve the self you thought you would be Rudy's perspective as a lawyer who stayed, and his advice for law students: do not let go of what makes you happy, because the time you spend on those things (screenwriting, acting, podcasting) will make you a better lawyer, not a worse one Casey's thoughts on the role of AI in law, what this means for the profession and those going into law. The philosophy of the examined career: what Socrates, Russell, and Casey Berman all agree on about the relationship between self-knowledge, honest feedback, and the possibility of genuine happiness in your work Books Mentioned in this episode (with Amazon Affiliate link): The Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russell The Million Dollar One Person Business by Elaine Pofeldt The Ancient Art of Thinking For Yourself: The Power of Rhetoric in Polarized Times by Robin Reames Guest: Casey Berman: founder of Leave Law Behind, the leading coaching program helping attorneys identify and transition into fulfilling non-legal careers. Multipreneur, strategy consultant, speaker, and storyteller. Former attorney. His work has been featured across major media and podcast platforms. Based in San Francisco. Good Is In The Details is hosted by Gwendolyn Dolske, Ph.D. and Rudy Salo — a philosophy, books, and ideas podcast exploring the examined life in the spirit of Socrates.

From 'Bustin' Loose Baseball' (subscribe here): If you were concerned with how the Nationals would recover from their devastating loss in the series finale versus San Francisco last week, this weekend series with the Mariners should help calm your nerves. Tobi Altizer & Darris Dameron breakdown how the Nationals offense and pitching staff were able to bounce back against the Mariners and go on to win their 3rd straight series. The BLB crew gets into why Dylan Crews' offensive numbers don't tell the whole story of how he impacts the game, and why James Wood should be in consideration for MVP honors. Then, we check-in on how some of the top prospects in the Nats organization have been performing over the last week. And we look ahead to a three game home series versus a struggling Kansas City Royals squad.

HR4 - Arcand kicks off the final hour of today's show discussing Giannis watch as the Celtics reported pursuit of the former MVP has heated up. In tonight's Arcand Fire: The NFL may be holding their first supplemental draft since 2019, the Bruins are not on Dylan Larkin's preferred destinations list, and could the Giants be looking to move on from Rafael Devers just one year after trading for him? Finally, It's a full four hour show for Christian Arcand on Monday and you know what that means. The dingers, the taters, the bombs, the DONGS, it is time for the Dong Report

Every 49ers fan has thought about it. Maxx Crosby next to Nick Bosa. The most relentless pass rusher in the NFL in a San Francisco uniform. It's a great dream and an almost impossible reality. The Raiders are not trading their franchise cornerstone to help a conference rival, the price tag would gut San Francisco's draft capital for years, and Las Vegas has every reason to keep him and zero reason to deal. In this stream we're killing the rumor, explaining why it's not happening, and talking about what the 49ers should actually be focused on instead.  Subscribe to DB+ for the Bay Area's most unfiltered 49ers coverage.  Sign up for PrizePicks with code: HMA and get $50 in lineups instantly when you play your first $5+ lineup! https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/DAMON  Snapp AI: Use code "DamonBruceFree" when you sign up at: https://www.trysnapp.ai/  For advertising opportunities: contact@hogmedia.co  Support the show by becoming a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcs13VXhiObJg6jGDw2xbZg/join  All Damon Bruce Plus content is available on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1681177856.  #49ers #sanfrancisco49ers #nfl #bayareasports #maxxcrosby Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China  When I first saw John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China, it was a Pan & Scan VHS copy from my local video store. I immediately fell in love with one of the strangest and most imaginative films of the 1980s. The fourth collaboration between Horror icon, John Carpenter, and Disney legend Kurt Russell (doing an over the top and ridiculous parody of John Wayne), Big Trouble in Little China is a love letter to the Hong Kong Sword and Sorcery epics of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. With admitted and obvious inspiration from Tsui Hark's Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain, Carpenter's fantasy swordplay epic would employ an almost entirely Asian-American cast led by Denis Dun as Wang Chi, Victor Wong as Egg Shen, and the great James Hong as David Lo Pan. This week Mr. Chavez & I discuss this movie with a focus on how the film stands up to charges of appropriation (lovingly created), Orientalism (questionable), and the White-Saviour trope (mislabeled). An American set, San Francisco and Chinatown comedy that lovingly and respectfully dives into the mythology of culture, history, and hero-making, John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China  is a comedy, that 40 years later, is as thrilling, funny, and exciting as it was when it premiered in the summer of 1986. Take a listen and see if we give this film a fair and balancecd review or if I'm simply too in love with my memories to be objective.

Impact investing for women does not have to mean choosing between profit and purpose. Lucy Rogers built a global network connecting more than 3,000 family offices, investors, and founders by asking one simple question in every room she entered about what that person actually needed. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten sits down with Lucy to explore how that instinct became the foundation for a new model of values-based investing that is quietly outperforming expectations. Lucy's path was anything but conventional. She was expelled from two schools, dropped out of college at 17 to travel solo through Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand, and left university a second time to chase work experience instead of a degree. She bought her first flat at 24 through sheer discipline and eventually built a career spanning creative direction, entertainment, and capital. None of it followed a straight line, and that turned out to be exactly the point. The conversation gets into what family office investing looks like from the inside, how Lucy positions impact investments to skeptical investors without ever leading with the impact angle, and why the most oversubscribed deals in her network are increasingly backed by women in venture. Lucy shares the story of an investor who said he wanted nothing to do with climate, and how she got him to fund a climate company anyway. For anyone thinking seriously about impact investing for women and wealth building, this episode changes what it means to put capital behind values. The return data is catching up to the conviction. Lucy Rogers is proof that when you build from alignment, the numbers tend to follow. If this conversation sparked something, the next step is a room of your own.

Over the weekend, San Francisco's Conservatory of Flowers announced that their corpse flower, named 'Scarlet,' would be blooming in the next 7 to 14 days. It's an event that usually makes the news because these flowers can take up to ten years to reach their first bloom and they can smell like… death. But they're also endangered. And one of the Conservatory's neighbors, the California Academy of Sciences, has been working with a national effort to preserve this rare plant's DNA. KALW's Wren Farrell took a look at the program in 2024 when the Academy's corpse flower ‘Mirage' had its own bloom. 

If you go out to San Francisco's Golden Gate Park on any given Sunday from April to September… and you wander over to the concourse between the California Academy of Sciences and the DeYoung museum of fine arts… you'll hear the Golden Gate Park Band playing at the Spreckels Temple of Music. And, when I say any Sunday, I mean it. Because the band is now in their 144th season. That's since 1882!And though the concerts have been happening for nearly a century and half, the music is very eclectic. They're a blend of all types of music from soul, to Disney songs, to Ukrainian music, and so much more. German Gonzalez is the current music director and conductor of the Band. He recently spoke with KALW's Jenee Darden for the Sights and Sounds Show. In this excerpt from their conversation, German talks about his music journey and what he's looking forward to performing with his band.

One San Francisco band has been going strong for 144 seasons. Today, we're hitting the high notes with the Golden Gate Park Band's music director. Then, the Conservatory of Flowers' corpse flower is about to bloom again. Plus, we stop by the San Francisco dragon boat festival!

I'm excited to bring you today's deep, beautiful, very warm and loving conversation.Today's guest, Mheena Bhasin, is a violist, mother of two and Pleasure Activist living in Noe Valley, San Francisco. Her work centers the arts as a vital part of civic life and community wellbeing.Mheena feels deep gratitude for her life, her family and her community. She has co-created a concert series with her husband, that brings world-class artists into neighbourhood spaces and sees music as a vehicle for community care and connection.Programming includes concerts for neurodivergent youth, lunchtime town-square performances, and wellbeing concerts.Pleasure activism is integrated into her work, especially with women, through music, movement, meditation and love as a source of energy.How she got hereMheena began her training in music at the age of four. Her early classical training was intense and rule-bound. Music was always her way of feeling deeply and now she teaches others to access that same inner wellspring.About ten years ago music had become a source of anxiety and pressure and Mheena experienced burnout. Moving from New York to San Francisco gave her a clean slate to rebuild her relationship with music. She learned to pause, reset and choose what to return to. Pregnancy and early motherhood planted the seeds for her current work.How did pleasure activism come into her life?Mheena was inspired by adrienne maree brown's book Pleasure Activism and Audre Lorde's essay Uses of the Erotic, which helped her understand that pleasure is a birthright, not a hierarchy or commodity.Pleasure is not escapism, but feeling safe, beautiful and fully alive. Society often misinterprets pleasure as indulgence or hypersexuality, when it can be as simple as sensory presence and love.Mheena doesn't label herself an activist but sees activism as putting a stake in the ground, naming your values, being willing to be seen and going first so others feel permitted to follow.At the time of our recording, Mheena was on day 11 of a gratitude practice. She encourages building a toolbox of small, accessible ways to return to love and aliveness to yourself.On her website, www.Mheenabhasin.com, she offers a free pleasure meditation and a 75-minute meditation practice for those who'd like to go deeper.Mheena welcomes conversations with anyone exploring pleasure in their life.Hope you enjoy this one!Invitations to Play with Kay* I'm offering online workshops throughout 2026, and an in-person retreat here in Maine in September - see more at https://kaylockkolp.com/events* If community is something you value, consider joining Dreamers & Doers.

Nobody is picking the San Francisco 49ers to win the Super Bowl this year. The Rams got Myles Garrett. The Eagles are healthy. The Lions are hungry. The Chiefs are always there. Even though they were a playoffs team last season, the 49ers have quietly slipped out of the national conversation in a way that would have been unthinkable two years ago. Here's the thing. They're fine with it. The best 49ers teams have always had a chip on their shoulder. The ones that went deep in the playoffs were the ones that had something to prove. This roster has every reason to be motivated and the national media is handing them the perfect excuse to circle the wagons, trust each other, and let the games do the talking.  Subscribe to DB+ for the Bay Area's most unfiltered 49ers coverage.  Sign up for PrizePicks with code: HMA and get $50 in lineups instantly when you play your first $5+ lineup! https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/DAMON  Snapp AI: Use code "DamonBruceFree" when you sign up at: https://www.trysnapp.ai/ For advertising opportunities:  contact@hogmedia.co Support the show by becoming a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcs13VXhiObJg6jGDw2xbZg/join  All Damon Bruce Plus content is available on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1681177856.  #49ers #sanfrancisco49ers #nfl #bayareasports Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 248, FULL SHOW -- If you were concerned with how the Nationals would recover from their devastating loss in the series finale versus San Francisco last week, this weekend series with the Mariners should help calm your nerves. Tobi Altizer & Darris Dameron breakdown how the Nationals offense and pitching staff were able to bounce back against the Mariners and go on to win their 3rd straight series. The BLB crew gets into why Dylan Crews' offensive numbers don't tell the whole story of how he impacts the game, and why James Wood should be in consideration for MVP honors. Then, we check-in on how some of the top prospects in the Nats organization have been performing over the last week. And we look ahead to a three game home series versus a struggling Kansas City Royals squad.

In April 2023, tech executive Bob Lee was found near San Francisco's Embarcadero with severe stab wounds. He later died from these injuries. Shortly after his death, some of the loudest voices in tech rushed to blame a chaotic, violent City. Out of twelve murders that took place in the city that year, it was the only one to garner international attention, fueling a narrative that Lee was killed because of a general lack of safety/ in a city that had failed to keep law and order. But, it was eventually determined that his killing stemmed from a personal connection. So what really happened? What does Lee's death really signify?That's what Shawn Wen sought to find out. She's the creator and producer of the podcast Foundering. Shawn spoke with Mission Local's Joe Eskenazi at KALW's live event space in downtown San Francisco. In this excerpt from their conversation, Shawn and Joe consider what this case meant to a fractured city.

Finally, Jay reports back from his recent trip to China, sharing ground-level observations on why US entity list restrictions are losing their impact, how IoT chipmaker Espressif creatively markets globally via Reddit and YouTube despite domestic blocks, and the real-world manufacturing bottlenecks facing humanoid robot actuators.

This solo episode kicks off Season 6 of The Girl Dad Show. Young Han reflects on six years of the show and how fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and intentionality have evolved together. He covers moving from San Francisco to Texas, the five year sprint and its impact on family, the shift from playful parenting to deliberate guidance, and why honesty and role modeling matter more than perfection. Expect practical takeaways on showing up consistently, curating your child's influences, and building a life that teaches by example. Key takeaways: → Your kids are more resilient than you think and good intentions matter more than perfection. → Model the behaviors and values you want your children to adopt. → Bring your children along on your journey and share both successes and struggles. → Be selective about who influences your children and expose them to positive environments. → Consistency and persistence in showing up matter more than being perfect.

ALIENS vs GOD? Would Disclosure Shatter Religion? What happens if humanity learns we are not alone? Steven Spielberg's upcoming film Disclosure Day raises a question that has fascinated scientists, theologians, and governments for generations: If extraterrestrial life is proven beyond any doubt, what happens next? Would confirmation of alien civilizations strengthen religious belief—or challenge it? Does the Bible leave room for intelligent life beyond Earth, or would disclosure force humanity to rethink some of its oldest stories about creation and our place in the universe? Karel explores the philosophical, religious, and political implications of alien disclosure, government secrecy, and whether the public has a right to know if world leaders already possess evidence of extraterrestrial life.

The battle to protect California taxpayers is heating up. This episode of the Howard Jarvis Radio Show is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the state's skyrocketing taxes and the erosion of Proposition 13.

They delve into the details of the Local Taxpayer Protection Act, a measure that would close the upland loophole and require a two-thirds vote for citizens' initiatives to raise taxes. They also touch on the implications of Proposition 19, a law that has wreaked havoc on families' plans to leave property to their children, and the efforts to fix its problems.The conversation also covers the recent tax measures that have gone down to defeat in various cities and counties across California, including the overpaid CEO tax in San Francisco and the second homes tax in San Diego. Susan and Scott analyze the trends and implications of these results, and discuss the billionaire tax proposal that's making its way onto the November ballot.If you're concerned about the future of California's tax landscape, this episode is a must-listen.

The War between Israel and the US on one side and Iran and Lebanon on the other is in its fourth month. Despite claims from the White House that a deal is imminent, the war and the destruction have continued. Indeed the concept of a cease fire is undermined with every attack.

So on today's show we update the news on the war, explore any potential pathways to end the war and examine the impact of the war particularly on both Iran and Lebanon.
