Welcome to another Legends episode of Follow Your Dream, the award winning podcast and global arts platform. Legends features profiles of iconic artists and influential figures who helped shape our culture. This Legends episode spotlights Irving Berlin who was - simply put - one of the greatest songwriters of all time.  Irving Berlin was born in Russia with the name Israel Beilin. He moved to America at age 5 with his family to escape the pogroms against the Jews. He taught himself the piano and he composed only in the key of F#, meaning the black keys. His songs captured the identity and feel of his adopted country. He was known for writing music and lyrics that were uncomplicated, simple and direct, with his stated aim being to "reach the heart of the average American". He received Academy, Tony and Grammy awards, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Over his 60 year career he wrote 1,500 songs, with “Alexander's Ragtime Band” in 1911 being his first hit. His catalog included the scores to 20 original Broadway shows and 15 original Hollywood films. His songs were nominated eight times for Academy Awards.  Let's listen now to excerpts from several of his greatest hits sung by the stars of his era.  “God Bless America”, sung by Kate Smith;  “Blue Skies”, sung by Frank Sinatra “Easter Parade, sung by Judy Garland “Cheek To Cheek” sung by Ella Fitzgerald “There's No Business Like Show Business” sung by Ethel Merman, and of course  “White Christmas” sung by Bing Crosby. None other than George Gershwin called Irving Berlin “the greatest songwriter that has ever lived", and Jerome Kern, no slouch himself, said that "Irving Berlin has no place in American music—he is American music."

Send us Fan MailSomeone wiring money into a film isn't just making a transaction. They're handing you trust. I close out the season with a solo, from-the-heart conversation about what that trust really means for filmmakers, producers, and investors and why it should shape every choice you make on set, in the edit room, and in your distribution strategy. This is also where I clear up a big misunderstanding about my book Hollywood Money Traps: it's not a cynical “Hollywood exposé.” It's a practical guide built on decades of producing, consulting, acquiring, and selling films, designed to help people avoid the same painful mistakes that cause projects to collapse.  Some pages of my last chapters are read for you!We talk about the patterns I see over and over in independent film financing: investors saying yes without understanding how movies are funded, filmmakers entering partnerships without grasping the business implications, and teams building plans on unrealistic expectations. When that happens, everyone loses the filmmaker, the investor, and the story itself. I share why creativity deserves good business practice, and why understanding pitching, positioning, deal structures, and distribution isn't optional if you want a sustainable career in film and media. You'll also hear two big announcements. I'm working on an expanded edition of An Insider's Secret: Master In The Hollywood Path, updated for the realities of AI, shifting studios, theatrical headwinds, and a crowded streaming landscape. And the podcast is evolving: The Heart of Show Business is becoming Chasing the Extraordinary, a wider conversation about the people behind the work, entrepreneurs, humanitarians, founders, artists, and adventurers who choose courage over comfort and keep evolving. If this season has helped you think bigger or move smarter, please subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more creators and investors can find it.

Hey everyone,I'm hard at work on producing new installments of Bonesaw Vic - kinda need to cleanse the pallette after writing that story, Nothing - so I hope you enjoy them.This episode was apparently split into two parts due to the lengthy running time, so more is coming - T.W. Gro,

Send us Fan MailSomeone once told Deborah Kobylt, “You look too ethnic. Go dye your hair.” That moment didn't end her career, but it did reveal the quiet rules women were expected to follow in local broadcasting. We sit down with Deborah, an award-winning journalist whose path runs through CNN, KCAL9, Fox 11, and decades of high-pressure reporting, to talk about what it really takes to last in a male-dominated media world without losing your voice.We dig into the craft behind her interviews: why curiosity is the most underrated journalism skill, how print reporting trained her to hear the story underneath the headlines,  and the practical strategy she uses with powerful guests. Her Atlantic City coverage of Donald Trump becomes a sharp lesson in power and performance, and she explains how she built trust, stayed professional, and still got the answers she needed on the record.From there, we zoom out to the changing media landscape: shrinking local news audiences, younger listeners choosing on-demand audio, and why she believes “opinion” is not the same thing as journalism. We also talk about instinct and safety on dangerous assignments, the emotional toll of hard news, and how podcasting opened a new lane where she can follow real curiosity, spotlight voices that matter, and keep storytelling human. If you care about broadcast journalism, media trust, women in media, and the future of podcasting, this conversation will stick with you.Subscribe to The Heart of Show Business, share this with a friend who needs a boost, and leave a rating and review so more listeners can find the show.Deborah on the PodSupport the showThanks for listening!

In Part 2 of The Mechanics of Magick: Drumming, Trance, and the Brain, we follow rhythm from the sacred road into the war road and the modern machine. This episode examines war drums, military cadence, synchronized movement, crowd power, ritual physiology, propaganda, slogans, media framing, algorithmic repetition, moral-emotional contagion, and the illusory truth effect. The argument is not that rhythm is evil. The argument is that rhythm is morally flexible and powerful. It can heal, gather, strengthen, command, manipulate, or capture depending on the world built around it. The drum teaches us to hear the visible pulse first, so we can recognize the hidden drums of the modern world: the chant, the slogan, the feed, the notification loop, the soundtrack, the repeated frame, and the rhythm that trains attention before thought has time to speak.Links For The Occult Rejectshttps://linktr.ee/theoccultrejectsOccult Research Institutehttps://www.occultresearchinstitute.org/Substackhttps://substack.com/@theoccultrejects?r=7auau0&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-pageCash Apphttps://cash.app/$theoccultrejectsVenmo@TheOccultRejectsBuy Me A Coffeebuymeacoffee.com/TheOccultRejectsPatreonhttps://www.patreon.com/TheOccultRejectsRhythm, Marching, Synchrony, and the GroupBodyMcNeill, William H. Keeping Together in Time: Dance and Drill in Human History. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1995.Use for dance, drill, marching, synchronized movement, and “muscular bonding.” This is one of the best historical anchors for the claim that moving together in time can help bind human groups through the body. It belongs in the war drum, marching, military cadence, procession, and crowd-power material.Wiltermuth, Scott S., and Chip Heath. “Synchrony and Cooperation.” Psychological Science 20, no. 1 (2009): 1–5.Use for the claim that synchronized action can increase cooperation. This supports the argument that marching, chanting, dancing, and acting in time can alter group attachment and behavior.Hove, Michael J., and Jane L. Risen. “It's All in the Timing: Interpersonal Synchrony Increases Affiliation.” Social Cognition 27, no. 6 (2009): 949–960.Use for interpersonal synchrony and affiliation. This supports the softer social-bonding side of rhythm: people who coordinate timing can feel more connected.Tarr, Bronwyn, Jacques Launay, and Robin I. M. Dunbar. “Music and Social Bonding: ‘Self-Other' Merging and Neurohormonal Mechanisms.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2014): 1096.Use for music, synchrony, bonding, self-other merging, endorphins, and why rhythmic group activity can feel socially powerful. This belongs in both crowd sections and the “operator as instrument” material.Reddish, Paul, Ronald Fischer, and Joseph Bulbulia. “Let's Dance Together: Synchrony, Shared Intentionality and Cooperation.” PLOS ONE 8, no. 8 (2013): e71182.Use as extra support for synchrony and cooperation. Good optional source if you want more than Wiltermuth and Heath.Ritual Physiology, Crowd Arousal, and Collective EffervescenceKonvalinka, Ivana, Dimitris Xygalatas, Joseph Bulbulia, Uri Schjødt, Else-Marie Jegindø, Sebastian Wallot, Guy Van Orden, and Andreas Roepstorff. “Synchronized Arousal Between Performers and Related Spectators in a Fire-Walking Ritual.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 108, no. 20 (2011): 8514–8519.Use for the strongest fire-walking physiology source. This is the study showing synchronized arousal between active ritual performers and related spectators. It supports the claim that intense ritual fields can show up in bodies, not only in symbols.Xygalatas, Dimitris, Ivana Konvalinka, Joseph Bulbulia, and Andreas Roepstorff. “Quantifying Collective Effervescence: Heart-Rate Dynamics at a Fire-Walking Ritual.” Communicative & Integrative Biology 4, no. 6 (2011): 735–738.Use as a shorter interpretive companion to the PNAS fire-walking study. Good for the phrase “collective effervescence” and for explaining shared heart-rate dynamics in accessible language.Xygalatas, Dimitris. Ritual: How Seemingly Senseless Acts Make Life Worth Living. New York: Little, Brown Spark, 2022.Use for ritual, pain, synchrony, group bonding, arousal, and embodied social meaning. This is useful when moving from older ritual containers into modern crowd and spectacle.Hobson, Nicholas M., Juliana Schroeder, Jane L. Risen, Dimitris Xygalatas, and Michael Inzlicht. “The Psychology of Rituals: An Integrative Review and Process-Based Framework.” Personality and Social Psychology Review 22, no. 3 (2018): 260–284.Use for ritual as emotion regulation, performance regulation, social bonding, and formalized action. This supports the “ritual does things, it does not merely represent things” argument.War, Crowds, Mass Movements, and Collective IdentityLe Bon, Gustave. The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind. 1895.Use carefully. Le Bon is historically important for crowd psychology, but outdated and often elitist. Good as a historical source on crowd fear and mass suggestion, but balance it with modern social psychology.Canetti, Elias. Crowds and Power. New York: Viking Press, 1962.Use for a literary-philosophical treatment of crowds, power, command, fear, and collective bodies. Good for atmosphere and conceptual framing, not as a modern experimental source.Hoffer, Eric. The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1951.Use for mass movements, fanaticism, belonging, identity, resentment, sacrifice, and the psychology of ideological devotion. Use carefully; it is sharp and useful, but not a modern empirical study.Tajfel, Henri, and John C. Turner. “An Integrative Theory of Intergroup Conflict.” In The Social Psychology of Intergroup Relations, edited by William G. Austin and Stephen Worchel, 33–47. Monterey, CA: Brooks/Cole, 1979.Use for social identity theory, in-groups, out-groups, belonging, status, and group comparison. This supports the claim that slogans and group language do not only communicate ideas; they also mark identity.Tajfel, Henri. Human Groups and Social Categories: Studies in Social Psychology. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1981.Use as a broader social-identity source. Good for group belonging, categorization, prejudice, and in-group/out-group dynamics.Propaganda, Symbols, Slogans, and Mass CommunicationLasswell, Harold D. Propaganda Technique in the World War. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1927.Use for propaganda as symbolic management, war messaging, enemy construction, morale, and the manipulation of attitudes through stories, reports, images, rumors, and other significant symbols. This is a core Part 2 source.Lasswell, Harold D. “The Theory of Political Propaganda.” The American Political Science Review 21, no. 3 (1927): 627–631.Use for the clean definition: propaganda as the management of collective attitudes through significant symbols. This is perfect for the slogan/crowd/media rhythm sections.Ellul, Jacques. Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes. Translated by Konrad Kellen and Jean Lerner. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1965.Use for propaganda as a modern social technique, not merely lies. Ellul belongs in the “modern machine” argument because he treats propaganda as environmental, repetitive, social, technological, and tied to belonging.Bernays, Edward. Propaganda. New York: Horace Liveright, 1928.Use for public relations, engineered consent, mass persuasion, and the management of public opinion. Good supporting source, especially if you want advertising and PR to sit beside political propaganda.Herman, Edward S., and Noam Chomsky. Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media. New York: Pantheon Books, 1988.Use if you want a media-system critique: institutional filtering, agenda power, elite framing, and consent formation. This is useful for Part 2 but has a more political-economy angle than the rhythm/trance argument.Media Framing, Agenda-Setting, and Repeated AttentionMcCombs, Maxwell E., and Donald L. Shaw. “The Agenda-Setting Function of Mass Media.” Public Opinion Quarterly 36, no. 2 (1972): 176–187.Use for agenda-setting: media may not tell people exactly what to think, but it can influence what people think about and how important issues feel. This fits the “repetition trains attention” argument.Entman, Robert M. “Framing: Toward Clarification of a Fractured Paradigm.” Journal of Communication 43, no. 4 (1993): 51–58.Use for framing: selecting certain aspects of reality and making them more salient. This supports the section on media frames as secular ritual structures that define problems, causes, moral judgments, and remedies.Gitlin, Todd. The Whole World Is Watching: Mass Media in the Making and Unmaking of the New Left. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1980.Use if you want a historical case study on media framing and protest movements. Good optional source for how movements get shaped, simplified, or distorted by media attention.Postman, Neil. Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business. New York: Viking Penguin, 1985.Use as cultural/media theory support for entertainment, spectacle, image, and public discourse. Useful for the “modern machine” angle, but more essayistic than experimental.Repetition, Familiarity, and the Illusory Truth EffectHasher, Lynn, David Goldstein, and Thomas Toppino. “Frequency and the Conference of Referential Validity.” Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior 16, no. 1 (1977): 107–112.Use for the classic repetition/familiarity basis of the illusory truth effect. This supports the claim that repeated statements can gain perceived validity because they become easier and more familiar to processAlso want to remind people about the website, if you're into reading we have tons of information by multiple contributors, and we got t-shirts up on the site if you're interested.

Monika Kaelin, Förderin der Schweizer Unterhaltungsszene, und Extremalpinist Roger Schäli, der zwischen Traum und Grenzerfahrung lebt, treffen sich bei Michèle Schönbächler. Monika Kaelin Monika Kaelin ist eine vielseitige Schweizer Künstlerin: Entertainerin, Moderatorin, Sängerin, Schauspielerin, Komponistin und Texterin. Darüber hinaus prägt sie als Theater- und Musikproduzentin, TV-Produzentin sowie Event-Organisatorin die Kulturlandschaft nachhaltig. Geboren und aufgewachsen in Schwyz, entdeckte sie schon früh ihre Leidenschaft für die Bühne. Bereits als Kind stand sie im Stück «Heidi» auf der Bühne. Nach einem Hauswirtschaftsjahr bei Ordensschwestern in Fribourg liess sie sich als Kindergärtnerin ausbilden. Die junge Frau zog es nach Zürich, wo sie das pulsierende Stadtleben und die Vielfalt der Bühnenwelt für sich entdeckte. Diese Erfahrungen legten den Grundstein für ihre umfassende Karriere im Showbusiness. Ihr Talent zeigte sich schon damals: Obwohl sie beim ersten Casting heiser antrat, überzeugte sie mit ihrer Hartnäckigkeit und erhielt die Rolle dennoch. Privat wuchs Monika Kaelin in einem bodenständigen Umfeld auf – ihr Vater war Polizist. Mit dem ehemaligen Fussballnationalspieler Fritz Künzli verband sie eine grosse, lebensprägende Liebe. Gemeinsam führten sie mehrere Jahre ein Restaurant und waren als bekanntes Schweizer Glamourpaar auf zahlreichen Anlässen präsent – eine Verbundenheit, die für Monika Kaelin bis heute weiterlebt. Bis heute engagiert sie sich mit grosser Leidenschaft für die Schweizer Unterhaltungskultur. Mit viel Herzblut und Beharrlichkeit organisiert sie den renommierten Prix Walo und setzt sich dabei besonders für die Förderung von Nachwuchstalenten ein. Ihr Engagement macht sie zu einer wichtigen Förderin und Botschafterin der Schweizer Künstlerinnen- und Künstlerszene. ________________________________________ Roger Schäli «Träume sind mir lieber als Erinnerung» – dieser Satz steht sinnbildlich für das Leben von Roger Schäli, einem der herausragenden Schweizer Alpinisten seiner Generation. Aufgewachsen in Sörenberg gemeinsam mit zwei Schwestern, fand Schäli früh den Bezug zur Natur und zu den Bergen. Zunächst erlernte er den Beruf des Zimmermanns. Doch ein Schlüsselmoment veränderte seinen Lebensweg grundlegend: Beim Aufbau eines Hauses mit Blick auf die legendäre Eigernordwand fasste er den Entschluss, selbst hinaufzusteigen. Aus dieser Vision wurde eine Leidenschaft – und schliesslich eine aussergewöhnliche Karriere. Heute hat Roger Schäli die Eigernordwand über 50 Mal durchstiegen und dabei nicht nur bestehende Routen wiederholt, sondern auch neue Wege erschlossen. Unter anderem die Route «Merci la vie», die sinnbildlich für seine Haltung zum Leben steht. Ein schwerer Unfall im Alter von 16 Jahren, der ihn mit erheblichen Verletzungen zurückliess, brachte ihn früh dazu, sein Tun zu reflektieren. Dieses Erlebnis prägte seinen Umgang mit Risiko und Verantwortung in den Bergen nachhaltig. Bereits mit 21 Jahren schloss er die Ausbildung zum Bergführer ab und machte seine Leidenschaft zum Beruf. Seine Erfahrungen sind geprägt von Extremsituationen: eisige Kälte, Grenzerfahrungen und der Verlust von Seilpartnern. Diese Erlebnisse haben ihm gezeigt, wie wichtig es ist, innezuhalten. Als Athlet habe er gelernt, dass man allzu oft vergesse, dankbar zu sein für das Wesentliche – für die eigene Gesundheit und für das Leben selbst. _________________ Moderation: Michèle Schönbächler Monika Kaelin und Roger Schäli zu Gast im Persönlich am Sonntag, 21. Juni 2026 im Kleintheater Luzern in Luzern. Türöffnung ist um 9 Uhr. Das Publikum ist gebeten, bis 9.30 Uhr einzutreffen. ____________________ Das ist «Persönlich»: Jede Woche reden Menschen über ihr Leben, sprechen über ihre Wünsche, Interessen, Ansichten und Meinungen. «Persönlich» ist kein heisser Stuhl und auch keine Informationssendung, sondern ein Gespräch zur Person und über ihr Leben. Die Gäste werden eingeladen, da sie aufgrund ihrer Lebenserfahrungen etwas zu sagen haben, das über den Tag hinaus Gültigkeit hat.

Send us Fan MailThe moment you realize you can't “out-strategize” your nervous system is the moment everything changes. We sit down with thought leader, speaker, and former on-camera powerhouse Michelle Soro to talk about the deeper path that opens when visibility and achievement stop working the way they used to and a spiritual awakening demands honesty.Michelle shares what it felt like to fully wake up in August 2021, how that shock can register as trauma in the body, and why the following years became an unplanned retreat into truth: seeing the masks, the performance, and the patterns built around love, acceptance, and safety. From there, we dig into presence as something you can feel, not perform. When the agenda drops and the nervous system settles, leadership changes. We explore what “quiet leadership” looks like in real life, why impact matters more than big stages, and how reciprocity replaces hustle as the measure of aligned work.We also unpack Gene Keys in plain language: a contemplative system rooted in the I Ching and your birth data that maps an arc from shadow to gift to highest expression. The key insight is embodiment, which is why somatics, trauma-informed work, and attachment awareness matter so much for entrepreneurs, artists, and high achievers who tend to overcontrol and self-audit. Michelle closes with a mantra for hard days drawn from Wu Wei: “Easy is right.”Get to know Michelle Subscribe to The Heart of Show Business, share this with a friend who needs more ease, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.Support the showThanks for listening!

Ende Mai strahlte das ZDF die zweite Folge von «ZDF Magazin vor Ort» mit Chris Sommer aus. Dieses Mal wollte die Redaktion damit punkten, dass der Kölner Fernmeldeturm Colonius den Erdboden gleich gemacht werden soll. Das Team baute eine typische Live-Sendung im deutschen Fernsehen nach. Sogar einen prominenten Gast hatte man engagiert: Everlyn Burdecki sollte den Buzzer drücken, um die Zündung auszulösen. Für Mario Thunert und Fabian Riedner sind diese Ableger nicht das Gelbe vom Ei, die normalen Ausgaben von «ZDF Magazin Royale» sind mit ihren Frontalunterricht wesentlich besser. Anders sind es hingegen bei der «heute show» aus, deren Specials mit Fabian Köster und Lutz van der Horst einfach XL-Ausgaben von Rubriken sind. Beim Privatfernsehen versuchte ProSieben mit «TV total» diesen Spagat, doch weder «TV total – Aber mit Gast» und «TV total Stand-Up Club» blieben in Erinnerung. Im zweiten Teil der Sendung werden Thunert und Riedner ein Blick auf die Frauen im Showbusiness. Zunächst erklärte Nazan Eckes im „Welt“-Gespräch, dass mit einer Schwangerschaft auch bei RTL zu einer Konkurrenzsituation kam. Zudem werfen Thunert und Riedner einen Blick auf die einstige «Extra»-Moderatorin Birgit Schrowange, die sich sogar Jahrelang die Haare färben ließ. Nachdem diese Enthüllung kam, verschwand sie von der RTL-Bildfläche. Später kehrte sie ohne Erfolg bei Sat.1 zurück, seither wurde es um Schrowange sehr ruhig.

Et il y a même fort à parier que ce soit plutôt l'inverse : qu'une bonne histoire fait qu'on parle d'autant plus d'un artiste.Tenez par exemple Céline Dion, la femme au sommet du show business mondial, en train de signer un retour retentissant en passant par la case Midnight in Paris. Vous avez en tête immédiatement son mari et manager René Angélil et puis aussi toutes les anecdotes de la famille nombreuse de Céline et du rapport organique qu'elle entretient avec la musique.C'est comme les filles qui hurlent après les Beatles, Johnny Hallyday qui se roule par terre sur scène horrifiant le monde des adultes, les fesses de Michel Polnareff sur une affiche.Mais qu'y a-t-il derrière ces scènes qui appartiennent aujourd'hui à la légende de notre temps ? Ah sur le moment même, c'est juste le cours de la vie, d'une vie, celle de René Angélil, un impresario canadien old school au début des années 80. Vingt ans plus tôt, il faisait partie d'un trio très populaire qui avait repris des chansons des Beatles et en avait fait un tube au Canada (C'est fou, mais c'est tout). Le premier label américain qui avait édité les Beatles, sans succès, il est vrai, avait alors signé le groupe de René, Les baronnets, c'était leur nom, mais peu après la sortie du disque, avait mis la clé sous le paillasson. Un coup du sort comme il en arrive souvent aux artistes de la chanson et qui avait valu au trio de se séparer.Et là, les hasards chanceux de la vie, un impresario influent et fortuné avec qui il travaillait, lui demande un coup de main. Je voudrais lancer mon poulain aux Etats-Unis, c'est un jeune gamin tellement prometteur mais il ne parle pas anglais. Toi, oui. C'est un sacré boulot mais je suis convaincu qu'on peut y arriver, tu marches ?L'affaire est inespérée. René accepte et y croit d'autant plus que les voilà partis au Japon pour un concours que le jeune René Simard, treize ans, remporte haut la main, le Prix Frank Sinatra, remis par Sinatra en personne. Le voilà avec son poulain partout dans les médias, à Tokyo, à New York mais aussi à Paris où le jeune adolescent assure la première partie de Daniel Guichard à l'Olympia.L'avance d'un million de dollars qu'il demande à la firme CBS pour un contrat, jugée farfelue, n'aboutit pas, mais n'empêche, vous avez compris que ce que René est en train de vivre au milieu des années 70 est le schéma qu'on va retrouver la décennie suivante avec Céline.Car oui, après avoir géré la carrière de Ginette Reno, pas la même affaire, et qu'elle l'ait quitté, René va rencontrer la synthèse des deux artistes dont il s'est occupé : une voix féminine forte et un adolescent surdoué. Dommage pour l'impresario qui a refusé à René de le prendre comme associé. Mais tant mieux aussi, car avec Céline, René fera tout le contraire de son ancien employeur, à savoir ne pas isoler l'artiste adolescent de sa famille et surtout ne pas afficher des conditions exorbitantes d'une multinationale quand elle frappe à la porte d'un débutant.

In this episode of The Better Leadership Team Show, I talk with Simmy Kustanowitz, founder of Clock Tower Innovation and an Emmy-nominated television producer turned corporate showrunner.Simmy spent more than 20 years producing hit television shows like Impractical Jokers and Adam Ruins Everything. Today, he helps companies apply entertainment-style thinking to leadership, communication, innovation, and problem-solving.We talk about what business can learn from show business, why clarity is one of the most important characteristics of a great leadership team, and how leaders can use time pressure as a tool instead of treating it like the enemy. Simmy also shares his Clock Tower Method, built around time, volume, creativity, and repetition.This conversation is packed with practical ideas for leadership teams that want to move faster, think more creatively, and turn complex challenges into clear, engaging action.

Send us Fan MailA live TV director doesn't get the luxury of overthinking, because the show keeps moving. That's why this conversation with three-time Emmy Award-winning director and author Mary Madeiras hit me so hard: she's spent 30 years making split-second decisions in news, sports, talk shows, and daytime drama, and then life delivered a pivot she didn't plan for. When her contract isn't renewed on a major production, the floor drops out and a different kind of directing begins, one focused on clarity, intuition, and spiritual truth.Mary walks me through what Akashic Records actually are in practical terms: not a fantasy “library with floating books”, but a divine quantum field and vibrational imprint of the soul's journey. We connect the dots to modern consciousness language like the “field of possibilities”, and to older traditions that describe a Book of Life. The heart of it is simple and grounded: when you raise your vibration through intention, prayer, or meditation, you can access guidance that feels steady, loving, and free of judgement.We also go straight into the questions people are afraid to ask. Can you change what's in your records? What role does the ego play in suffering, self-doubt, and feeling stuck? Mary explains the difference between a larger soul theme and your day-to-day free will, and we talk about transmuting trauma by reclaiming the energy it locked away. You'll also get an easy practice you can do even in a busy life: write down what brings you joy, no judgement, and use imagination as a clean portal back to your power.Get Mary's Book hereIf you love conversations about Akashic Records, intuition, spiritual growth, creativity, and personal transformation, you'll feel right at home here.

Send us Fan MailHe turned down a sure thing with Sam Peckinpah and said yes to a script with a strange title: Flashdance. That single choice reshaped Michael Nouri's acting career, and the way he tells it makes you feel how fragile “overnight success” really is.We talk with Michael about the long road behind the iconic roles: discovering theater in school, chasing work in New York, handling early on-camera fear, and learning how craft evolves when Hollywood keeps changing the rules. He shares what it was like to realize Flashdance had become a phenomenon, right down to the moment audiences stood up cheering and then poured out to buy the soundtrack. If you love filmmaking, film history, and the behind-the-scenes reality of casting, negotiation, and timing, this conversation delivers.Then we go deeper into the heart side of show business. Michael opens up about depression, the value of therapy and support systems, and how grief forces a recalibration after losing loved ones. At 80, he reflects on time speeding up, the fear of feeling irrelevant, and why a sense of purpose is non-negotiable. We also get one of my favorite Hollywood stories: how an eggplant parmesan sandwich led to Blake Edwards and Julie Andrews and a life-changing path to Victor Victoria on Broadway, plus what he's doing now in television and the memoir and charity book projects that keep his creative engine running.If this moved you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more artists and story lovers can find The Heart of Show Business.Let's keep this going!→ Instagram (daily insights + behind the scenes)→ Books & Author Page→ Work with Me → ShopGet Social with Michael Nouri Support the showThanks for listening!

War is not merely business, it is show business. Just as an invisible virus was used to justify social changes and medical experiments, the war in Iran is providing for the same; and it is mostly invisible. From 2 weeks, masks, lockdowns and vaccine to 4 weeks, skyrocketing oil prices and temporary pain for great gain, the result is the same. Competition is shut down and the big players gobble up immense profits. This is especially true for oil and gas. With threats that someone will begin taking out desalination plants, the war has suddenly found itself at the forefront of the WEF and UN timeline for a global water crisis too. It is no coincidence that Iran has faced a severe water shortage in recent years, and some have blamed it on US and Israeli weather manipulation. Either way, the lack of water could, as the WEF put it, jeopardize the “very existence” of some countries. What a convenient result this would produce. Meanwhile the IEA has released a list of recommendations to deal with increasing energy costs, which include staying home, driving slower, taking public transport, and not flying. It also appears that most of what is coming out of the White House are strategic statements meant to soften the blow of the consequences of war. https://www.weforum.org/stories/2015/03/the-threat-to-global-security-from-water-shortages/ https://www.financialexpress.com/world-news/who-is-peter-brabeck-letmathe-successor-of-klaus-schwab-to-lead-the-world-economic-forum/3823396/ https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/iran-threatens-mass-water-war-with-strikes-on-key-plants-in-days-un-official-warns/ar-AA1ZblFd https://www.wri.org/insights/iran-war-water-crisis-middle-east https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSJ9fvkhdkM https://ofac.treasury.gov/media/935191/download?inline https://www.iea.org/reports/sheltering-from-oil-shocks/summary*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Whenever we talk about misinformation, the state of democracy, or what new technology is doing to public debate, one book comes up over and over again even though it was written 40 years ago. Amusing Ourselves to Death; Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business by Neil Postman. It argued distraction would be our undoing, and once everything becomes entertainment, serious thought to take on serious issues is hard to come by. Neil Postman saw this coming long before social media feeds, constant scrolling, and smartphones in every pocket. Andrew Postman is a writer and Neil Postman's son, He wrote the introduction to the latest edition of his father's prescient book. He offers insights into the man who sounded the warning about mindless screentime all those years ago.

In this episode of the 365 Driven Podcast, host Tony Whatley sits down with trade show expert Jennifer Hoff to pull back the curtain on the powerful—and often misunderstood—business of trade shows and conventions. Together, they explore how these large-scale events quietly drive billions in economic impact while creating unmatched opportunities for networking, deal-making, and brand positioning. Jennifer shares her journey from unexpectedly "falling into" the industry to becoming a leader responsible for launching and managing major events, offering listeners a rare insider perspective on what actually goes into producing successful trade shows. Business owners will gain practical insights into how exhibiting or attending the right event can deliver both tangible and intangible ROI—from closing deals to building long-term relationships that fuel sustained growth. The conversation also dives into how trade shows are evolving in the age of AI, why face-to-face connection is becoming more valuable than ever, and how even small businesses can compete and stand out on the show floor. Whether you are considering your first trade show or looking to maximize results from future events, this episode delivers actionable strategies, real-world examples, and a fresh perspective on leveraging live experiences as a powerful business growth tool. Key highlights: Trade shows are a multi-billion dollar industry driving real business and economic impact. In-person connection is more valuable than ever in today's digital world.

As Monty Python would say, "and now for something completely different.” This podcast tries to explore all facets of our jewel we call magic. And one part of our entertainment community has its roots in the side show. Specifically, in the early to mid-1900's magicians were part of the traveling carnivals and performed side show acts using such illusions as the stocks, blade box, and more. But as the magicians went to the legitimate stage, the other side show performers stayed behind as independent nomads. But their business of finding work is just as important as magicians trying to find work. And for “freaks” in today's world, there are fewer venues (and perhaps audiences) who can “stomach” watching some of their acts. Moreover, freaks have become less shocking as being obesely overweight and covered in tattoos are now common sites at your local WalMart shopping centers.

But part of the focus of our conversation is how similar yet different our two crafts are when it comes to marketing. Magicians have a community to help, support, and direct, but the side show community is less giving and supportive.

Are Erica and T. Hack friends outside of work?

The owners of the horse show, Valitar, are a wealthy, conventionally attractive couple called the Remley's. Mark Remley is a little bit older. Perhaps nerdy, but the type of guy to get into peak shape later in life. Tatyana Remley is his wife with bottle blonde hair and a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model body. She's also the main star of the Valitar horse show. The Remley's invested over $20 million dollars into the show, just to lose every single penny of it after multiple scandals back to back. Allegedly, horses were abandoned with nothing to eat and massive creative differences led to performers quitting. Former staff members would come out to allege that Tatyana Remley doesn't even know how to ride a horse that well… Later, the couple is featured on TV as a well known swinger's couple, a pillar in the local sex-swinging community. That's just a side quest though; the most scandalous thing that happened at Valitar was the decapitated horse head on the Remley's marital bed. Thankfully, it's not an actual butchered horse head. It's just a hunk from one of their very expensive statues in their $5.5 million dollar home near San Diego, California. And it's clearly not been placed there as a mistake. This is a targeted threat. And by the end of the investigation, one of the Remleys, the founders of the failed multi-million dollar Valitar horse show, will be dead.   Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
