Professor C. Paul Rogers III has spent more than four decades shaping lawyers, preserving baseball history, mentoring students, navigating college athletics, and collecting stories that somehow sound too good to be true — except they are. In this episode of Counsel Brew, Nicola and Shereen sit down with one of the most beloved and legendary figures from SMU Dedman School of Law just as he prepares to retire at the end of the semester after an extraordinary career.Both Nicola and Shereen recently attended Professor Rogers' final lecture at SMU, making this episode especially meaningful for two former students who were lucky enough to learn from him firsthand.Professor Rogers' formative years stretched from Wyoming and West Texas to the East Coast before he eventually landed at the University of Texas at Austin during the chaos and culture shifts of the late 1960s. He shares the unlikely path that led him into law, academia, and eventually into becoming one of the defining figures in SMU law school history. Along the way, he reflects on lessons learned working the graveyard shift in Vegas, realizing small-town life was not for him, and how a letter to a professor opened the door to a life-changing opportunity at Columbia Law School that launched his academic career and ultimately brought him to Dallas. The conversation is packed with hilarious stories and classic Professor Rogers moments — including the infamous Playboy Bunny classroom interruption, students arriving to class in full costume presentations, bad margaritas at the AAC, and the reality that some of the best career advice boils down to one simple lesson: if you want something, you actually have to do something. But beneath the humor is the story of a professor who genuinely loves teaching, deeply values his students, and never stopped learning. In this episode, Professor Rogers reflects on the evolution of legal education over the decades and the importance of mentorship and relationships in the practice of law. Along the way, the conversation wanders through baseball history, vintage baseball cards, West Texas sports culture, and the continuing importance of a properly made margarita.An accomplished scholar, former dean, NCAA leader, baseball historian, published author, and mentor to generations of lawyers, Professor Rogers leaves behind an extraordinary legacy at SMU Dedman School of Law — though after hearing this episode, “retirement” sounds a lot more like a new chapter than a final inning.Grab your favorite brew and join us for a conversation full of wisdom, humor, and unforgettable stories with the incomparable Professor C.

Jason Fraley interviews Broadway star Shereen Pimentel, who played Maria in the 2020 Broadway revival of “West Side Story” and returns to the role TONIGHT, TONIGHT in a special new production by the Washington National Opera at The Lyric in Baltimore, Maryland on May 8-10, followed by the Strathmore in North Bethesda, Maryland on May 14-15. They discuss how the show's timeless themes of The Sharks vs. The Jets can heal our divisive political climate that caused the WNO to leave the Kennedy Center after 55 years.

What if confidence isn't something you build… but something you express? In this episode of The Balance Theory, Erika sits down with Shereen Mitwalli to unpack one of the biggest misconceptions around confidence: that it comes from what you say, when in reality… it comes from how you say it. If you've ever felt like you know what you want to say but hesitate, overthink, or struggle to articulate yourself clearly, this conversation will completely reframe how you approach communication. Because confidence isn't about saying more. 
It's about saying things in a way that actually lands. This episode explores the subtle shifts that can transform how people perceive you, whether that's being taken seriously at work, feeling more self-assured in conversations, or simply expressing who you truly are without second guessing yourself. What We Cover: * Why confidence is more about delivery than content * The 3 key principles to communicate clearly and effectively * How overthinking is quietly undermining your confidence * Why not everyone needs to like you (and why that's powerful) * The biggest communication mistakes people make without realising * How to speak in a way that makes people actually listen * Practical ways to show up more confidently at work and in life

(Riverton, WY)- On the latest County 10 Podcast, host Shereen visits with Karen and Darla from Help for Health Hospice about the third annual Power of the Purse fundraiser, happening at the Holiday Inn in Riverton. While purses are the star of the show, this event is about much more than handbags.

 Meet Shereen SimmondsAdvocate. Founder of Phoenix FiveShereen grew up in a family where attention was not directed her way.

His & Hers (Netflix), 56 Days (Prime Video), Cold Storage, and Forbidden Fruits — we review every major book-to-screen adaptation we've watched in Q1 2026.

Colleen Hoover is officially three-for-three at the multiplex, and Megan and Shereen are officially three-for-three at being surprised and disappointed. Reminders of Him hit theaters March 13, 2026, and the hosts were in the seats (Megan dragging a reluctant Arthur along for good measure). On this week's Fully Booked, they break down the full adaptation: what the film changed from the 2022 novel, why the movie's version of the car accident actually makes way more sense than the book's, and why a story about the injustice of the criminal justice system keeps finding ways to... not make that point.

This week's episode is less about any single book and more about the way reading habits actually work — the seasonal pulls, the abandoned TBRs, the stack of books next to the bed that somehow keeps growing. Megan breaks down her seasonal reading calendar (spoiler: spring means fantasy, fall means thrillers, and October basically only means horror). Shereen reflects on her own identity as a comfort reader who goes back to familiar fantasy series when she's in a slump — and how the steady stream of ARCs has basically replaced that habit.

Did you know that a child's breathing pattern influences every aspect of their development? In today's episode, I interviewed Dr. Shereen Lim, who will share her knowledge of airway health and tongue-tie solutions to help children achieve greater health and wellness. She will also discuss the symptoms that are frequently treated without taking into account underlying airway issues, how to aid the jaws to grow properly, and how to promote airway health. Dr. Shereen Lim was one of Australia's first handful of dentists to obtain a qualification in dental sleep medicine and has a decade of experience working with patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. She is an engaging speaker who is calling for a reformed approach to care. Rather than managing dysfunctional breathing and its consequences, Dr. Lim is focused on promoting airway health. This means promoting good airway development and reinforcing nasal breathing from infancy as keys to good sleep, thriving, and long-term health. Dr. Lim regularly sees infants through adults and has been able to pinpoint the issues in infancy that lead to bigger problems down the track. She is passionate about educating child health professionals from a variety of fields to recognize the earliest warning signs of poor airway health, including poor oral function and poor jaw development, and promote collaborative care to address these as early as possible. Her vision is to help more children receive timely care to breathe, sleep, and thrive to their full potential, and avoid growing into more serious problems later in life. Check out these episode highlights: 03:59 - What is airway health 06:56 - What signs should parents look for in their children that may indicate poor airway health 12:57 - The significance of breastfeeding in muscle development 16:32 - How can we start to help children with sleep issues 22:00 - The importance of tongue tie assessment and how it can help prevent future issues Know more about Dr Shereen https://www.drshereenlim.com.au/ If you would like to support the Homeopathy Hangout Podcast, please consider making a donation by visiting www.EugenieKruger.com and click the DONATE button at the top of the site.

In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph sits down with Certified Financial Planner Meera Shireen for a powerful conversation about money, nervous system safety, and what it actually means to feel secure with your finances as your business grows. While Meera brings over a decade of financial planning experience, this conversation goes far beyond traditional money advice. Together, they unpack why so many entrepreneurs fear wealth, how childhood patterns shape your financial identity, and why nervous system regulation is one of the most overlooked components of building long-term wealth. Meera shares her journey from studying economics to entering the financial planning world, launching her own firm, and integrating somatic therapy into her work. She explains why so many high earners still feel "bad with money," the emotional blocks that keep entrepreneurs from knowing their numbers, and how industry jargon and gatekeeping contribute to shame and avoidance. Throughout the episode, Steph and Meera break down the biggest money mistakes entrepreneurs make, how to choose the right financial advisor, why understanding your numbers is a somatic exercise, and how to use money to improve your quality of life—not outsource your entire life. This is an honest, grounding, and empowering conversation for anyone who wants to make more money and feel genuinely safe holding it. 00:00 Introduction 01:06 Meera's Journey: From Economics to Financial Planning 03:52 Why So Many Entrepreneurs Feel "Bad With Money" 07:41 Money Jargon, Gatekeeping & Financial Avoidance 10:22 Nervous System Responses to Wealth & Money Conversations 14:47 Fear of Success and Why More Money Can Feel Unsafe 17:10 Knowledge as a Somatic Regulator 19:28 How Financial Professionals Should Actually Support Clients 23:54 How to Choose a Financial Planner or Wealth Advisor 27:13 The Role of CPAs, Bookkeepers, and Fiduciaries Explained 31:02 Why Tracking Every Penny Is a Control Mechanism 34:22 Using Money to Improve Quality of Life (Not Avoid Life) 38:19 Outsourcing vs. Losing Connection to What Brings You Joy 43:08 What Clients Should Do First to Improve Their Relationship With Money 48:35 Creating Healthy, Values-Aligned Money Routines 52:20 Final Thoughts To connect with Meera, follow her on Instagram @meerashireen.

Philanthropy plays a uniquely critical role in climate action—it can fund the bold, early-stage, community-led, and systems-changing work that markets and governments too often overlook. And with the federal government cutting funding to a wide range of climate, energy and conservation efforts, philanthropy plays a more important role than ever before.That's why we're teaming up with the Skyline Foundation and their Climate Lead, Shereen D'Souza on a series of conversations on climate philanthropy.Over the coming episodes, we'll explore how philanthropy can accelerate climate solutions—not just by moving more money, but by moving it differently and to high impact topics and geographies. We'll talk to leaders who are rethinking power, reimagining partnerships, and reshaping the way resources flow.Today, we're starting with a conversation that sets the tone for the entire series: trust-based philanthropy. What does it look like to fund climate work in ways that are long-term, rooted in real relationships, and prioritize the expertise of grantee organizations? How can funders shift from control to collaboration, and what happens when they do?Shereen and I are joined by Shaady Salehi, Executive Director of the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project. Shaady has been at the forefront of this movement, helping foundations transform their practices and support grantees with more transparency, humility, and flexibility. We talk about Shaady and Shereen's backgrounds in philanthropy, what trust-based philanthropy is and how it can help non-profit partners be more effective, why it's relevant to Skyline Foundation's approach and ways other donors can learn more. This series is one of several deep dive series we've created this year.

Author and cultural critic Jeff Chang's new book is “Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America”.  The world's most celebrated martial artist and one of the best-known action stars ever, Bruce Lee is a global icon.  Born in San Francisco in 1940, Lee spent his childhood in war-ravaged Hong Kong, where he began his acting career in its emerging film industry.  When he returned to the US at the age of 18, Lee studied philosophy and drama, and taught martial arts to major Hollywood actors before becoming a star himself.  On September 25, 2025, Jeff Chang talked to journalist, podcaster, and educator Shereen Marisol Meraji about his biography of Bruce Lee and his role in Asian American culture.

Too often, parents are told their child will “grow out of it.” Snoring? Normal. Grinding? Just a phase. Bedwetting? Don't worry about it. But what if those symptoms are actually red flags—and you've been dismissed over and over? In this episode of Dentistry Disrupted, Dr. Craig Clayton is joined by airway health pioneer Dr. Shereen Lim, author of Breathe, Sleep, Thrive, for a conversation that will resonate with every parent who's ever felt unheard. Dr. Lim shares how her own experience as a mom—and hearing stories from dismissed and desperate parents—drove her to write a book that connects the dots. Because parents don't need another brush-off, they need tools, information, and the confidence to trust their gut and take action. This episode is your permission slip to dig deeper. To question. To advocate. We're at a tipping point. Just over a decade ago, Dr. Lim was almost blocked from speaking at a university conference because her airway-focused approach was seen as “outside the norm.” Today, her clinic is so full she's had to close her books—and more providers are waking up to the importance of early intervention. The movement is happening, and parents like you are leading the charge.

We hope you enjoy the show.

In this episode, Steve, Nicola, and Shereen discuss:Building strong relationships between in-house and outside counselThe importance of business acumen in legal practiceNetworking and business development for lawyersAdapting to the evolving legal industry Key Takeaways:Outside counsel should recognize that in-house lawyers often make rapid decisions with limited information and need concise, actionable legal guidance rather than long memos.Many lawyers lack business literacy, making it harder for them to align legal advice with corporate goals; in-house counsel appreciate those who can bridge the legal-business gap.Instead of just asking for work, outside counsel should offer value by staying informed about the company's initiatives, supporting their causes, and engaging in genuine conversations.In-house counsel prefer different modes of communication (text over email, early breakfast over lunch), and outside counsel should adapt to their client's preferences to strengthen relationships. "A lot of times, I took for granted that outside counsel understood how in-house counsel worked, and then one day I realized, ‘Oh, that's really not the case.' If they did, it could really elevate not only the relationship but how they connect and how they maintain those relationships." —  Nicola Hobeiche"If you can't ask your friends, how are you going to ask strangers?" —  Shereen El DomeiriGot a challenge growing your law practice?

This episode is about the overlooked history of female immigrants in colonial Malaya, spanning from the late 19th to mid-20th century. These women, primarily from Indian and Chinese communities, played vital roles in tin mining, rubber plantations, urban domestic work, and more. Despite their contributions, their narratives have been sidelined, reduced to footnotes in male-dominated accounts of migration.

Immigrants to America have always faced resistance, and have always—over time—assimilated and become vital parts of America. But in a political era of “America First'', what does it mean to be an immigrant in the 21st century? And who decides who is “American” enough? Ray Suarez has criss-crossed the country to speak to new Americans from all corners of the globe, and to record their stories for his new book. He shares what he learned while reporting and writing We Are Home: Becoming American in the 21st Century, with veteran journalist Shereen Marisol Meraji.

James and Shereen discuss how to stay warm in the coldest winter yet and the warmest winter of the rest of our lives, because it will only get worse with Climate Change. Clothing in the cold Overall principles - cotton kills, it gets wet and stays wet and can freeze you - It is not so much about staying dry as making sure you can dry off quickly - Based on Mark Twight's system , you essentially want to create a warm microclimate around your body which is warmer than the microclimate and will encourage and allow vapour transfer out into the world, not keep vapour around you Base layer Here you're looking to wick moisture away from the skin and insulate while you're warm. You want something that fits and allows you to move   Consider that wool can get misshapen and has to be treated with care but it doesn't small like synthetic and it won't melt and stick to you. Wool drys slower as well .   Don't go too thick here, if it heats up or you heat up it really sucks to be locked into a thick warm base layer, I'd rather have a warmer active insulation layer and be able to strip down to a light base layer, for example when xc skiing uphill   Right now I am using a Black Diamond Rhythm which is a blend called Nuyarn, https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/product/m-ls-rhythm-tee/    when things get colder I have a 1/4 zip Artilect base 125gsm layer which I love. https://www.artilect.studio/us/m-boulder-125-1-4-zip-2211121-db-bk-1223#selection.color=6584     If you're looking for value, I think Helly Hansen synthetic base layers are great, I have some that I got when I was 18. https://www.amazon.com/Helly-Hansen-Lightweight-Breathable-Baselayer/dp/B001N2MLYC/ref=asc_df_B001N2MLYC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312128224504&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3455986774775180687&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031340&hvtargid=pla-559593705576&psc=1&mcid=c1a5450b28a23d6ba978cf0b812277bb&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI69D566vlgwMViNLCBB1ofw77EAQYAiABEgLFGPD_BwE    For legs I really like the kuiu base layer underwear with side zips and sized tk not overlap with socks https://www.kuiu.com/products/ultra-merino-145-zip-off-bottom-charcoal?variant=40340172701854    Wind layer This takes the bite out of the wind while remaining breathable . It needs to be cut big enough to move around in and go over your active insulation , and possibly your parka for protecting it in camp. For this reason some people advocate for a thing wind shirt which you can wear UNDER layers and a soft-shell which provides abrasion tresistance and is sized to go over layers   I love the mountain hardware kor air shell . The Pertex quantum air fabric is incredible and it's very small and light https://www.mountainhardwear.com/p/mens-kor-airshell-hoody-1985031.html?dwvar_1985031_color=357    A more robust wind layer that is very well respected is the Arcteryx Gamma, it's got a higher denier face fabric which will make it much more durable. It stretches well, is warmer,  and is fine for light rain https://arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/mens/gamma-hoody?cmpid=pm|mult|perf|google|Arc%27teryx_Google-PMAX_S22_Performance_BOF_R:NAM_C:USA_L:EN|All_Products||{ad_id}&utm_source=google&utm_medium=pm|mult|perf&utm_campaign=Arc%27teryx_Google-PMAX_S22_Performance_BOF_R:NAM_C:USA_L:EN&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwa_ByKzlgwMVwBOtBh3cgwz9EAQYASABEgL_ivD_BwE  A budget option is the British surplus smock, but these are a lot heavier and bulkier https://www.militarysurplusworld.com/product-eng-15751-BRITISH-SMOCK-WITH-HOOD-DESERT-MILITARY-SURPLUS-USED.html    Legs In general I would say I like to find pants that allow for venting but also block some of the wind.   I'm a huge fan of the beyond rig light pants because the mesh pockets also act as vents. I also like to have a kneepad pocket, and a built in adjustable bungee cuff on the bottom. https://beyondclothing.com/products/a5-rig-light-backcountry-pant  A slightly less technical pant I enjoy is the prana stretch Zion which I also love to climb in. https://www.prana.com/p/stretch-zion-pant-ii/1969791.html?dwvar_1969791_color=Cacao&dwvar_1969791_size=34&dwvar_1969791_dimension=32&mid=compshop&eid=google&nid=tnt_shopping_br_past_season_lf&oid=mens_bottoms&did=pla-293946777986&gid=6&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrvvqga3lgwMVHQytBh29ogzOEAQYAiABEgJH8vD_BwE   When it's really cold I'll use beyond testa soft shell  fleece lined pants https://beyondclothing.com/products/k5-testa-softshell-pant For work stuff, I really lie Truwerk https://truewerk.com/collections/workwear-pants-shorts-bibs?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwMKW-azlgwMVARKtBh0nGw0QEAAYASACEgIjbPD_BwE  Active insulation -The mid layer isn't a great term, it was invented when people used wool or fleece which weren't blocking wind very well so needed an outer layer . This is a layer that keeps us warm, but doesn't make us overheat when we are working hard. We want to look for something with a breathable material and/ or mechanical venting.These layers are great to sleep in if you're camping.   I really like grid fleece pattern layers for this, down tends to be too hot and doesn't breathe as well. Beyond has some great ones like the alpha aurora ( https://beyondclothing.com/products/mens-alpha-aura-jacket) or the celeris which I like but they stopped making . I look for Polartec's alpha (needs backing material) or alpha direct fabric (doesn't need) , it's very warm. I particularly like the mammut alpha 60 (donating 60gsm fleece weight) which they don't make any more, 90gsm is a bit warmer . A great value option here is the U.S. gi waffle top https://militarydepotusa.com/gen-iii-level-ii-underwear-tan-waffle-top-military-issue/  .   The outdoor vitals Vario (or the vents which is lighter) is a bit of an outlier here. It's a synthetic insulated hoodie. The vents has mesh under arms and a 1/4 zip and it's incredibly warm and light. I generally don't like a combo wind / insulation layer but this thing is fantastic https://outdoorvitals.com/products/vario-jacket    Static insulation - This is your big warm jacket, to be thrown on when you stop moving. People tend to lean to down here but consider that lower quality does can compact, and if it's not treated well it will fail to insulate if it gets wet. Good modern down is treated with DWR so it keeps loft in the wet. It is the warmest/ weight option and it packs well.     You want to look at the fill power of the down, this can go from 400-900 approx higher numbers indicate a better quality jacket. The number comes from a lab test that measures how many cubic inches of loft one ounce of that down fill produces. Higher fill power numbers indicate greater loft and insulating efficiency.   You also want to look at the fill weight, the amount of down used in the pier of gear. A lower fill power jacket with the same fill weight as a higher fill power jacket will be less warm. But a 400 fill power jacket with 60g fill weight will be as warm as a 800 fill power jacket with 30g fill weight , however the former will weigh more and be less packable.  For me I like to go above 100 when it's below freezing but I get cold a lot   Consider the denier count of the face fabric, it can go from single digits to 70 ish and a more durable face fabric will prevent you tearing it and losing down. I would also not opt for a jacket with tons of baffles as places where there are baffles are uninsulated and every stitch is a hole. a thinner face fabric is going to need babying around camp, or a layer over it   Where synthetic really stands out is that it can stand up to more weather, it's also cruelty free. It can be heavier and pack a bit less well. Here you don't get a fill power , but you do get a fill weight. Primaloft is the brand to look for here, as their synthetic insulation's are very well respected and they have biodegradable and post consumer recycled downs. Right now my main belay parka is a Beyond Anchor Belay Jacket https://beyondclothing.com/collections/jackets/products/mens-anchor-k7-belay-jacket  when it's really cold I have a Helly Hansen Odin jacket https://www.hellyhansen.com/en_us/odin-lifa-pro-belay-jacket-63108?color=627661  For a down option I can't find fault in the Decathlon offerings and they are great value and have ethically sourced down.  https://www.decathlon.com/products/forclaz-mt100-hooded-down-puffer-jacket-167571?variant=32494250360894&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsemi-q7lgwMVGR-tBh0isgwkEAQYASABEgKlBvD_BwE  The ultralight subreddit does a great job of ranking full power / weight / price as well     Size up to go over your other layers Waterproof - this is for sustained downpours. Far too many people us gore Tex when a set wind layer would be fine. With water loots you have your laminates , with a waterproof layer, like goretex and PerTex, and your waterproof coatings on an otherwise non waterproof fabric .   With a waterproof you want a three layer , that way the fabric is protected on the inside and doesn't need a heavy and bulky hanging mesh liner like you get in a 2 layer . I suggest a minimum of a 2.5 layer   Waterproofing is expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm, or in pounds / square inch. Higher numbers are better if you're often kneeling in snow or we ground. Another, more useful stat, is mm of rain in 24 hours, a higher number in the 20k range indicates a jacket that won't wet out on long wet days , gore Tex pro is at 28,000. Breathability is quantified in terms of mvtr, again over 20k is good here   You'll also want to look for seams that are taped , so water can't get in, and a good quality waterproof zip and mechanical vents . Hovering around freezing I like a jacket that I can get over my parka   For static waterproofing, consider wax over gore tex. It's much better for the planet and it's totally waterproof. I wax my own stuff all the time, and fjallraven has good wax to use for that . Filson (https://www.filson.com/tin-cloth-short-lined-cruiser-jacket.html?source=google&medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlerf5q_lgwMVhQytBh0L9gJ8EAQYASABEgIXG_D_BwE#sku=20232828-fco-000000050 ) , Barbour, you can easily was a carport jacket   I have an emergency jacket with 20-40 denier fabric that packs very easily , it's my jacket for when I doubt there will be rain , I  like the mountain hardwear minimizer (https://www.mountainhardwear.com/p/mens-minimizer-gore-tex-paclite-plus-jacket-%7C-418-%7C-m-888663704981.html) . This is Goretex Paclite which is cheaper than Goretex pro but acceptable for occasional use   I also have an “it's going to be wet all day” jacket which I got from forloh, it's the all clima 3 and I like the mechanical venting and the fact that is quiet . It's. It cheap but it's a great piece https://forloh.com/products/allclima-mens-rain-jacket-3l   Always clean and reproof your jackets with nixwak https://www.nikwax.com/en-us/  Extremities You want socks that aren't too tight, wool tends to be preferred. I really like the Feetures , darn tough and swift wick socks. Alpaca wool socks are very warm , I like paka https://www.pakaapparel.com/ Hats, I like a wool hat unless it's very wet. I have a nice Velocio wool beanie https://velocio.cc/ , and an icebreaker very thin one https://www.icebreaker.com/en-us/hats-neckwear/cool-lite-merino-flexi-beanie/0A56FMU2.html?dwvar_0A56FMU2_color=001&dwvar_0A56FMU2_US=in_line  Gloves, I have some very thin gore tex infirm gloves that are very warm https://www.gorewear.com/us/en-us/m-gore-tex-infinium-stretch-gloves-100410  , polartec power grid gloves https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/product/midweight-gridtech-fleece-gloves/   are also a go to for me. I like a glove layering system , outdoor research made one for the military but annoyingly it's not for sale to civilians Finally a scarf or kuffiyeh https://hirbawiusa.com/   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
