Discussion Opening September 12th and closing September 27th, Front Row Centre Players presents Rock of Ages, produced by Haley Dorais and Directed by Stephen West. Kyle sits down to discuss the long development of this production and what 80s rock means to Haley and Stephen. Link to Tickets: https://werklundcentre.ca/whats-on/rockofages About the Show: It's the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip's last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock 'n' roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it's too late? Only the music of hit bands of the decade hold the answer.

About the Show:"It's a home for everybody's story." – Joshua YoungbloodIn this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, host Randy Wilburn takes listeners inside the Clinton House Museum, one of Fayetteville's most historic homes and a true treasure of Northwest Arkansas. Joined by Joshua Youngblood (Board President) and Bailee King (Museum Director), Randy explores why this house—once home to Bill and Hillary Clinton—is much more than just a presidential landmark. The Clinton House Museum helps preserve Fayetteville's long tradition of public service, welcomes guests from around the globe, and provides a space for community programs and school visits.But with city funding gone and the museum now relying on private donations, the future of the Clinton House Museum is in the hands of the community.

Families, students, and history lovers can explore the house, gardens, and rotating exhibits.Community-Funded Future: With city funding gone, the museum operates on a super-lean budget and depends heavily on donations, memberships, and event rentals to stay open.Cultural Hub: The Clinton House is “a home for everybody's story”—hosting school field trips, community programs, art/photo exhibits like Andrew Kilgore's iconic 1970s Fayetteville photography, weddings, and special events.Inspiration for All: The museum offers a chance to see how two regular people from Arkansas went on to shape the world, inspiring visitors, especially young people, that big dreams can start right here in Northwest Arkansas.Connected to Local Life: Located near Fayetteville Public Library and Fayetteville High School, the museum partners with local organizations and welcomes collaborations for group visits and community outreach.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Clinton House Museum: Website | clintonhousemuseum.orgInstagram: @clintonhousemuseumFacebook: Clinton House MuseumMuseum Address: 930 W Clinton Dr, Fayetteville, AR (Free parking all around the house)Current hours: Wednesday–Sunday, 10am–4pmEvent Space & Rentals: The Clinton House is available for weddings, readings, meetings, and community events.Special Exhibit: Andrew Kilgore's photos of “funky 1970s Fayetteville”—on display now!Fayetteville Public Library: partnering for upcoming events and possible field trips

Send Sherry a Text MessageWhat does “normal” even mean when you're a single mom? Culture may call single parenting the new normal, but if you've ever sat in a school auditorium surrounded by married couples, or explained to your kids why your family looks different, you know it rarely feels normal. In this episode of It's a Single Mom Thing, Sherry keeps it real—messy, complicated, and sometimes unfair—while pointing to the faith, strength, and purpose you can still find in the middle of it all.Whether you're co-parenting, flying solo, or simply navigating a season you didn't choose, this conversation will help you laugh, reflect, and reset. With honesty, sass, and hope, you'll discover:Why culture's definition of normal leaves us feeling anything but.How faith steadies you when everything falls apart.What your kids learn by watching you live through the mess.Why messy doesn't mean meaningless—and how God grows miracles in chaos.This isn't a life sentence—it's a lesson in living. And maybe, just maybe, it's the start of your new normal. Normal? Please.Support the showIt's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

Today, we're diving into a topic that many designers have been asking about: how to sell Showit templates and how to start a Showit template shop. But even if you're not a Showit designer, stick with me — because at the heart of this conversation is the bigger question: How can you take your expertise and package it into a digital product that serves more people, creates recurring revenue, and adds balance to your business?Enroll in The Showit Shop System

If you're in the first few years of running your small business, chances are you've felt buried under all the noise—everyone telling you which tools to use, which platforms to be on, and which strategies are “must-dos.” That overwhelm doesn't just waste your time; it can keep you stuck and prevent you from making real progress.That's why in this episode, I'm cutting through the noise and sharing the four simplified marketing tools that actually matter for small business owners. These are the exact platforms I use to streamline my marketing, keep my overhead low, and show up consistently as a team of one. Whether you're exhausted by daily posting, confused about email marketing, or unsure what website platform to invest in, this episode will help you simplify your decisions and finally feel confident in your marketing system.Resources & Links-Read the blog that goes with this podcast: https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/best-marketing-tools-small-business/▸Enji: https://www.enji.co/marketing-for-family-photographers?ref=mjvkymm▸Showit (get ONE month for FREE): https://showit.com/r/40ggld0m▸Flodesk (get 50% OFF with this code): https://flodesk.com/c/DOLLYDELONGEDUCATION▸Showit Template Shop Recommendation (Makena Delaney) https://makenadelaney.com/shopConnect with Dolly DeLong Education

Have you ever dreamed about taking a three-week vacation without your business falling apart?Or maybe just getting a full weekend without checking Slack, Asana, or inboxes that feel like they multiply overnight?Friend, if that feels impossible... I want you to know: it's not. You just need better systems.In this solo episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what actually allows businesses to scale beyond 7-figures: not magic, not hustle... but systems that work without you.I've worked with business owners making $5M, $8M, and beyond—and you'd be shocked at how many of them are still stuck working in the weeds. And guess what? Most of them have one big thing in common: no solid systems.Here's the truth: you have to earn the right to climb out of the work. And you earn it by building systems that empower your team to succeed without you micromanaging every detail.In this episode, I answer real Instagram questions from fellow entrepreneurs (like Alex and Rachel) who are overwhelmed, overworked, and asking: “How do I get OUT of the day-to-day and INTO scaling?”Together we break down:The myth that systems are something you “do later”Why creating SOPs isn't optional if you want to scaleHow we use tools like Notion and Asana to make our systems airtightMy personal 4-step delegation framework I learned from Teresa LoweAnd YES—I even walk you through an actual SOP from my teamThis isn't just a pep talk. It's a practical guide for how to stop being the bottleneck and start building a business that grows without burning you out.You were never meant to build a business that feels like a burden.Let's change that—one system at a time.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:01] Why being overwhelmed is usually a systems problem (not a hustle problem) [00:52] The cost of not having systems: low profit, constant stress, and no scalability [02:44] Why there's never a perfect time to start building systems [03:37] The hard truth: you must earn the right to delegate [05:24] The 4-Let Delegation Framework that changed everything [06:26] Behind the scenes: Our project management SOP process [07:25] How we use Notion + Asana to build repeatable workflows [08:40] Final encouragement: systems aren't sexy, but they will set you freeListen to Related Episodes:How to Create Team Systems and Operations That Simplify Scaling and GrowthHow to Reclaim Your Time and Boost Business Productivity with Nick Sonnenberg

Have you ever spiraled into a pit of “what ifs” and self-doubt that made you feel like the worst CEO ever?Same, friend.

Running a business doesn't have to feel like a constant uphill battle but sometimes we unknowingly make it harder than it needs to be. Whether you're just starting out or have been building your business for years, there are certain habits, mindsets, and patterns that creep in and quietly slow down your growth. The good news? You can quit them today and your business (and life!) will be better for it.In this episode, I'm sharing 14 things you might be doing that are making business harder and why it's time to add them to your “To Quit” list. These aren't just beginner mistakes; they're traps I've personally fallen into over the years, even after nearly a decade in business. Originally recorded when I hit my 8-year business anniversary (and just as true now, 9+ years in!), this episode was one of the most popular ones to date. So I'm bringing it back because these lessons are timeless. If you've been feeling stretched too thin, overcomplicating things, or simply ready to make business more enjoyable and sustainable, this conversation will give you practical clarity and permission to let go of what's not serving you.Links Mentioned:Read the full shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/315 Shop our Showit Website Templates: https://elizabethmccravy.com/shop  Join me inside Booked Out Designer: https://elizabethmccravy.com/bod  Sign up for the Podcast Success Blueprint: https://elizabethmccravy.com/psb Want the insider scoop?

Helena Mayfair will absolutely shatter your understanding of authenticity in this dazzling, fever-dream journey through the performative landscapes of modern existence. With razor-sharp wit and devastating insight, she guides us through her encounters with tortured artists, American finance bros, and political figures whose public posturing barely conceals their private contradictions.At the heart of this episode lies a profound question: Where does performance end and genuine experience begin? When Helena finds herself in "subspace," sinking through layers of carefully constructed personas until she discovers "something that wasn't even wearing Chanel," we're confronted with the possibility that authenticity might exist beneath our social masks—if only we're brave enough to look.The metamodern breakdown in Berghain perfectly captures our contemporary cultural condition: "To know something is ridiculous and to feel it anyway." Dancing to Aqua's "Barbie Girl" while weeping on ketamine becomes a metaphor for the oscillation between irony and sincerity that characterizes our lives. Helena's adventures—from art heists to ayahuasca retreats, from political liaisons to Los Angeles fever dreams—serve as a funhouse mirror reflecting our own attempts to navigate a world where everything feels simultaneously meaningful and absurd.What makes this episode truly transformative is how it validates our contradictions. Helena embodies the tension between cynicism and yearning, between knowing performance and desperate authenticity. She reminds us that being "fake" was never the problem—"it was always the loneliness, the echo, the absence, the desperate yearning for someone to see us pretending and believe in us anyway."Ready to question everything you thought you knew about sincerity, relationships, and self? Let Helena Mayfair be your guide through this labyrinth of glamorous absurdity. Subscribe now and discover why cultivating the "sizzling, sexy confidence that you can only get through relegating it to a persona" might just be the key to navigating our performative world.Got something to say to me?

In this episode of It's a Single Mom Thing, Sherry gets real about how single moms can flip the chaos into confidence with small, powerful shifts that save time, money, and sanity.From littles to teens to young adults still at home, you'll hear how to:Turn breakdown mornings into boss moves with simple family routines.Use a Weekly Meal & Activity Planner to tame the 5 p.m. dinner panic.Teach kids and teens to carry their share (yes, even financial contributions for young adults).Understand the real cost of disorganization—in hours lost, dollars wasted, and stress piled high.Reflect with guided journal questions that help you and your kids track wins, learn from mistakes, and take the next right step.

He's LA's most feared agony columnist—and possibly its biggest De Sade fan. He wants to hurt you in the ways that most help you, and it means the world to him when you let him be mean to you. It's Ask a Sadist, a long-time fixture on Emerson Dameron's Medicated Minutes. And these are a few of his greatest hits.The boundaries between cruelty and kindness blur in this provocative exploration of ethical sadism. Our host—self-described as having "a heart of rugged gold"—dismantles conventional morality to reveal how acknowledging our darker impulses might lead to more authentic, fulfilling lives."I like to hurt people in the ways that most help them," our host declares, establishing a philosophical framework where inflicting pain (with enthusiastic consent) becomes an act of profound kindness. This paradox forms the foundation for addressing listeners' diverse relationship challenges, from long-distance romance to workplace sexual politics.When a listener describes their long-distance relationship struggles, our host reframes it as "an exquisite form of torture" with potential for growth rather than merely a problem to solve. This perspective transforms relationship challenges into opportunities for deeper self-understanding and personal evolution.The episode takes a fascinating turn examining power dynamics in the workplace when addressing a young professional labeled "too sexy" by her female boss. Rather than offering standard harassment advice, our host provides an insightful analysis of unacknowledged desires and power plays, suggesting that understanding these dynamics gives the listener unexpected leverage.Most provocatively, the recurring claim that "rough sex can save the world" isn't mere shock value but represents a coherent philosophy arguing that our repressed desires for dominance and submission, when denied healthy expression, manifest as destructive forces in society. By acknowledging and channeling these desires in consensual contexts, we might create more honest, less harmful expressions of our fundamental nature."Suffer like you mean it," our host advises, suggesting that deliberate engagement with discomfort yields greater insights than avoiding pain altogether. This challenges the modern obsession with comfort, proposing instead that a meaningful life emerges from embracing the full spectrum of human experience—darkness included.Ready to explore your own darkness?

Lately, my “content calendar” looks a lot like baby snuggles, coffee refills, and… not much time for social media. And that's okay! Because SEO blogging is one of the things working behind the scenes for me. One well-crafted blog post can keep showing up in search results, sending me traffic and leads long after I've hit publish. It's the exact strategy I wish more business owners used, and today we're talking all about it.In this episode, I'm bringing you my podcast manager (and blogging expert), Kara Duncan from The Kara Report. Kara specializes in helping creative business owners grow through done-for-you blogging and Pinterest services, and she's sharing eight underrated SEO blogging strategies that most entrepreneurs are skipping without even realizing it. These aren't the same generic “use keywords” tips you've heard a hundred times. Kara goes into the details of where to place those keywords for maximum impact, how to optimize your images so they help you rank and why Pinterest is still a powerful tool for backlinks even if your audience isn't hanging out there She even shares exactly what you need to do to get your blog showing up in ChatGPT!This episode is packed with practical advice that's easy to implement, no matter your blogging experience. And the best part? Once you put these strategies in place, they'll keep working for you for months and years to come, giving you more time to focus on the things that matter most. Links mentioned: - Read the full shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/314 - Follow Kara on Instagram: https://instagram.com/thekarareport   - Download Kara's private podcast: https://thekarareport.com/private-podcast - Connect with Elizabeth on Instagram: https://instagram.com/elizabethmccravy   - Sign up for Podcast Success Blueprint: https://elizabethmccravy.com/psb - Take Our Website Quiz (+ Get Free Canva Templates!): https://elizabethmccravy.com/quiz    - Join Booked Out Designer: https://elizabethmccravy.com/bod As you start your biz, you're likely starting subscriptions to things left and right, like Showit, Dubsado or Honeybook, FloDesk, Riverside, and Kajabi just to name a few.

Summer productivity got you feeling like you're running on dial-up internet? Same, girl, same.I had this brilliant idea to squeeze in a "CEO check-in week" mid-summer between family trips. Spoiler alert: trying to fire up your work brain in July after weeks of living in your swimsuit is like asking your laptop to function underwater. My brain is straight-up buffering, and honestly, opening my inbox feels like a personal attack.But here's the plot twist—while I'm over here feeling like I can barely string together a coherent email, my business just casually dropped over $74K in revenue this month. No launches, no campaigns, barely a whisper on social media. Just my evergreen systems doing their thing in the background like the absolute queens they are.This episode is part vent session, part pep talk, and all about why building those automated systems early in your business is the smartest thing you'll ever do. I'm pulling back the curtain on three massive behind-the-scenes projects I'm tackling right now (website overhaul, email platform migration, and landing page cleanup), plus sharing why I'm never doing a mid-summer work check-in again.If you're feeling meh about productivity right now, this one's for you. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your business is give yourself permission to rest and let your systems carry the load.What You'll Learn:Why mid-summer productivity breaks might be sabotaging your flow (and what to do instead)The exact revenue my evergreen funnels generated during my low-energy monthThree major behind-the-scenes projects happening in my business right nowHow to build systems that support you when your creativity is playing hide-and-seekThree practical steps to automate your business (that you can tackle when your brain comes back online)Why beating yourself up about summer slumps only makes things worseResources Mentioned in this Episode:Tonic Website Themes: https://tonicsiteshop.com/ Rebel and RISE (Katie's ShowIt services): https://rebelandrise.coKit Email Marketing: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/kit Your Next Steps:Work with Me: https://www.gemmabonhamcarter.com/programsWhat I Use to Run My 7-Figure Business: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/toolsConnect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/gemma.bonhamcarter Support the show

Hey friends! As you're tuning in, I'm currently out on maternity leave (soaking up the baby snuggles!), and I've invited some of my amazing business friends to share guest trainings with you while I'm away. I'm kicking things off with none other than my dear friend Stephanie Kase (who you've probably heard on the podcast before). She's brilliant, grounded, and brings so much practical wisdom, especially around evergreen marketing.Stephanie's diving into a topic both of us are passionate about: how to make evergreen marketing actually stick in your business. If you've ever felt tired of the social media hamster wheel or are looking for a more sustainable way to grow your brand, this episode is for you. She breaks down what evergreen marketing really means, how to choose the right platform (and commit to it!), and how to create content that continues working for you long after it's published.I especially loved her advice on batching content, repurposing strategically, and how she uses tools like YouTube and even ChatGPT (yep!) to simplify her process. She also shares real examples from students and her own business… including how her YouTube channel brings in 400+ leads a month while working part-time hours as a mom of three. It's seriously inspiring.Stephanie's been in this game for nearly a decade, and what she teaches is not only doable, it's sustainable. So grab your notebook or take a walk and soak in all the gold she's about to share.Links mentioned: - Read the full shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/313  - Follow Stephanie on Instagram: https://instagram.com/stephanielynnkase  - Grab Stephanie's sample evergreen calendar: https://stephaniekase.com/evergreencalendar- Download Stephanie's private podcast: https://stephaniekase.com/evergreenpregame- Connect with Elizabeth on Instagram: https://instagram.com/elizabethmccravy  - Take Our Website Quiz (+ Get Free Canva Templates!): https://elizabethmccravy.com/quiz   - Join Booked Out Designer: https://elizabethmccravy.com/bod   As you start your biz, you're likely starting subscriptions to things left and right, like Showit, Dubsado or Honeybook, FloDesk, Riverside, and Kajabi just to name a few.
