Author and poet Scott Laudati joins me to discuss his latest poetry collection, Rainbow Road. The book offers a raw, observant, and humorous look at the chaotic realities of touring the independent poetry circuit across the United States. Scott shared some of the wild experiences that inspired the work, from having a gun pulled on him by a fellow writer in Little Rock to sleeping on a sidewalk in Sioux Falls. Ultimately, the collection captures a sharp shift from the romanticized ideals of the Beat generation to a more grounded perspective on the toll of a transient, artistic lifestyle. The conversation also tracked Scott's unconventional path, which began with high school road tours as a merchandise manager during the early 2000s pop-punk boom. After studying journalism, he dedicated himself to independent literature, developing a disciplined late-night writing process that relies on a sharp ear for authentic dialogue and meticulous editing. He also noted a unique aesthetic choice in Rainbow Road: the complete omission of page numbers to keep readers entirely focused on the text. Scott is currently preparing for a series of independent readings across the Midwest this summer. Rainbow Road is available on Amazon, and readers can connect with him on social media at @ScottLaudati. ---Episode Links:Purchase Rainbow RoadFollow Scott on SubstackIG: @scottlaudatiLinktree

July 21st 2026, Court Leader's Advantage PodcastEpisode 106AI promises greater efficiency, lower costs, and better public service—but it also raises concerns about privacy, bias, job displacement, and accountability. This panel explores where courts should draw the line.Artificial intelligence is currently having a difficult moment. Hardly a day goes by without headlines highlighting a new AI concern. Consider just a few of the issues currently dominating public conversation: • Corporate leaders are investing billions in AI while simultaneously announcing layoffs, fueling fearsabout job displacement and economic insecurity.• Communities across the country are opposing the construction of new data centers due to concernsabout their massive consumption of water and electricity.• Educators and researchers worry that AI has weakened students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills by making information and answers available almostinstantaneously.• Privacy advocates warn that AI enables governments, employers, and corporations to monitor individuals more closely than ever before, raising concerns about the emergence of a surveillance society.• Others fear that AI-generated videos, voices, images, and documents have become so convincing that distinguishing fact from fabrication is almost impossible. As a result, AImay undermine trust in elections, journalism, and public institutions. These concerns are real and deserve careful consideration.Yet they often overshadow the remarkable accomplishments AI has already achieved. Consider just three examples:• Google's DeepMind developed an AI system that analyzes mammogram images that, in some cases, detect breast cancer earlier and more accurately than expert radiologists, reducing both false positive and false negative results.•AI-powered wildfire detection systems now analyze live camera feeds, satellite imagery, weather data, and vegetation conditions to identify wildfire smoke within minutes.  This saves valuable time for emergency first responders and ends up protecting lives and property.•Arizona State University has implemented AI-powered educational tools that provide personalized learning experiences through conversational tutors, simulated learning environments, and on-demand academic support. AI is also becoming increasingly embedded in courtoperations. It can summarize documents, draft reports, assist with legal research, identify patterns within large datasets, and automate a wide range of administrative tasks. Even courts that have not formally adopted AI are likely employing staff who are already experimenting with these tools in theirday-to-day work. This reality raises a number of difficult questions.As with many technological revolutions, the central challenge is not simply deciding what AI can do. The central challenge may be deciding what AI should do. How much responsibility should be delegated to algorithms? Where must human judgment remain indispensable? And how can courtsstrike the proper balance between innovation, efficiency, fairness, and accountability?Today's Panel TJ BeMent Court Administrator, 10th Judicial Administrative District in Athens, GeorgiaRick Pierce Judicial Programs Administrator, Administrative Office of the Courts in Mechanicsburg, PennsylvaniaKarl Thoennes Court Administrator, 2nd Judicial Circuit Court, in Sioux Falls, South DakotaCreadell Webb Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer, 1st Judicial District of Pennsylvania, PhiladelphiaWhere should courts draw the line on AI?

Back again! With less than two weeks until Republican voters decide South Dakota's next governor, Toby Doden joins Dakota Town Hall for an extended conversation on the runoff, laying out his case against Larry Rhoden and making the pitch that South Dakota needs a business-minded outsider in the Governor's Office. We get into affordability, property taxes, public safety, education, the Kelo poll, campaign strategy, and why Doden believes the race is much closer than public polling suggests. Plus, Senator Taffy Howard weighs in on why she's backing Doden and where she sees the biggest differences between the two candidates.We also hit the future of the Republican Party after the runoff, speculation surrounding Doden's lieutenant governor pick, Dusty Johnson's role in the race, and whether South Dakota Republicans can come back together after a bruising primary. And of course, the crew wraps with thoughts on Sioux Falls' mayoral race, campaign momentum, and what to watch during the final stretch before voters head to the polls.@DakotaTownHall@Jakeshoenbeck@MurdocJ Hosted on Acast.

We all have moments when we try to hide from God, covering up our failures behind busyness, success, or carefully crafted images of who we want others to think we are. This message takes us deep into Psalm 51, David's raw prayer of repentance after his gravest sin with Bathsheba. What makes this psalm so powerful is that it reveals the heart of a man who stopped hiding and started healing. David wasn't called a man after God's own heart because he was perfect—far from it. He earned that title because when confronted with his sin, he chose humility over hardness. The message challenges us to understand three crucial questions: What is sin? What is repentance? And what is restoration? Sin is not just our actions but the deeper reality of choosing our will over God's will, fracturing our relationship with Him. Repentance is more than saying sorry—it's the actual turn away from sin and back toward God. And restoration is God replacing our rebellious hearts with ones that desire holiness. The beautiful truth we discover is that God's grace doesn't just forgive us; it transforms us. We learn that true worship must include repentance and a restored heart, and that the same God who takes sin seriously offers mercy generously. For anyone carrying hidden shame or struggling with secret sin, this message offers hope: your failure doesn't disqualify you from God's presence or purpose.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

Joseph Herreman has dedicated more than 25 years to the study, instruction, preservation, and promotion of traditional martial arts, establishing himself as one of the Northern Plains’ most respected martial arts instructors and school owners. His martial arts journey began in 1999 under the guidance of Hanchi Julio “Mutch” Usera in Rapid City, South Dakota. While earning a degree in biology at South Dakota State University, Joseph founded the SDSU Jujitsu Club, transforming a small practice group into a thriving collegiate martial arts organization. After relocating to Sioux Falls, he opened Dynamic Martial Arts in 2007. Over the years, the academy has grown into one of the region’s premier multi-disciplinary martial arts schools, offering instruction in Bujin Ki Ryu Jujitsu, Matsumura Shorin Ryu Karate, Kobudo, Iaido, Kenjutsu, Tai Chi, HEMA Longsword, self-defense, and law enforcement defensive tactics. Through his longtime instructor, Julio Usera, Joseph was introduced to the late Ken Penland and later to George Alexander Hanshi, further expanding his training in Okinawan Kobudo, Japanese sword arts, and Matsumura Shorin Ryu Karate. His dedication led to earning Menkyo Okuden, a full instructor license, in Kamagata Ryu Kenjutsu. Joseph holds advanced black belt ranks in numerous martial arts, including Rokudan in both Bujin Ki Ryu Jujitsu and Shorinji Ryu Jujitsu, along with advanced ranks in Taiho Jutsu, Matsumura Kobudo, Matsumura Shorin Ryu Karate, and Eishin Ryu Iaido. Before becoming a full-time martial arts instructor, Joseph spent years teaching high school physics and chemistry. That scientific background continues to influence his approach to martial arts instruction, emphasizing biomechanics, practical application, and pressure-tested fundamentals. Beyond the dojo, Joseph is an author, media producer, and the founder of BudoTV, a streaming platform dedicated to preserving and sharing traditional martial arts knowledge. He also organizes major regional events, including the Sioux Falls Open Martial Arts Tournament and the Tourney of Blades, bringing together practitioners from traditional martial arts, HEMA, and weapons-based disciplines throughout the Midwest. Committed to honoring tradition while embracing effective modern instruction, Joseph continues to help develop skilled martial artists while preserving the history, culture, and values that define the martial arts.

We often approach our relationship with God like a carefully curated Zoom call, presenting only our best angles while hiding the messy reality below the frame. This powerful exploration of Psalm 13 challenges us to stop performing and start being honest. David's raw prayer, asking 'How long, Lord?' four times in succession, reveals something revolutionary: God is not threatened by our honesty or our questions. He actually invites them. The psalm takes us on a journey from desperate lament to steadfast trust, showing us that spiritual maturity is not measured by how little we struggle, but by where we bring our struggle. When we dare to bring our unfiltered emotions, our confusion, and our disappointments directly to God, we discover that intimacy grows not in the space of pretending, but in the space of honesty. The road from David's 'How long?' to his 'But I trust in your unfailing love' teaches us that honest prayer does not always change our circumstances immediately, but it always changes our perspective. We learn to interpret our present pain through the lens of God's proven character, remembering His faithfulness even when we cannot see clearly in the moment.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

It’s that time of the month once again! It’s another set of new release episodes, and this one includes a lot of familiar faces. There are the usual submissions by the likes of Numb Surprise, Phil Cook & the Fall Dogs, Ricky Rochelle, and others, but there’s also some great covers from The Routes and the latest Drunk Dial Records’ Fake series. There’s also strong new stuff from Jon Spencer, The Jukeez, and The Paranoyds, along with a wonderful compilation of bands playing this month’s Punk Rock Raduno festival in Italy.  But I’m especially happy to once again premiere some new local music. Off Contact’s new album, Cab You?, is set to be released in a few weeks, and this Sioux Falls-based post-punk outfit deserves plenty of attention. I also have a couple of tracks from Chicago’s Trash Kickers, who I highlighted last week as my favorite new record of the month. I can’t wait for the vinyl version to be released later this year. What’s your favorite new release? For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

When life hits us with wave after wave of difficulty, we often find ourselves spiritually dehydrated, desperately thirsting for something more. Psalm 42 invites us into an honest conversation about depression, disappointment, and the dark seasons we all face. The psalmist paints a vivid picture of someone panting for God like a deer searching for water, crying tears that have become their daily bread, feeling forgotten and asking the hard question: Where is God in all of this? What makes this ancient song so powerful is its refusal to sugarcoat the struggle. We discover that being honest about our emotions isn't a sign of weak faith—it's actually the pathway to breakthrough. The psalm teaches us three essential steps: first, be aware of what we're truly feeling without trying to reframe or dismiss it; second, be honest with God, ourselves, and trusted people in our lives about our struggles; and third, choose worship even when we don't feel like it. The recurring chorus reminds us to put our hope in God, for we will yet praise Him. This isn't about pretending everything is fine—it's about shifting our focus from our circumstances to the One who holds us through every storm. When we lift our eyes from our pain and fix them on Christ, our emotions get resized by the truth of His unfailing love.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

Life's journey is rarely easy, and Psalm 84 speaks directly into those difficult seasons we all face. Written by worship leaders for pilgrims traveling through harsh, waterless terrain to Jerusalem, this ancient song becomes a timeless guide for navigating our own valleys of tears. The psalm reveals three transformative principles for walking through hardship: staying in God's presence, moving from strength to strength, and choosing what is truly better. What strikes us most is the psalmist's intense longing for God, not just casual interest but an overwhelming desire that consumes heart, soul, and flesh. This isn't about visiting God once a week like a distant relative, but dwelling in His presence daily, making our home with Him even when circumstances are unbearable. The Valley of Baca, the valley of weeping, represents those seasons when everything feels dry and hopeless. Yet we're called to pass through, not set up permanent residence in our pain. The promise is stunning: God gives us strength for each moment we need it, not stored up in advance but fresh daily like manna in the wilderness. When we choose God as better than a thousand days of worldly success, fame, or pleasure, we align our entire lives around what truly matters. This psalm challenges us to examine whether our daily choices reflect that God is genuinely better, or if we're slowly drifting toward what feels more urgent, comfortable, or rewarding in the moment.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

113. When Jeani scheduled a doctor's visit to address hot flashes, night sweats, and an elevated FSH level, she assumed she was simply following in the footsteps of her mother and sisters who had all entered early menopause. Instead, a routine ultrasound revealed a dislodged IUD, and a month later, on September 11th, a positive pregnancy test that quite literally left her weak in the knees. At 43 years old, with her oldest daughter on the cusp of high school graduation, Jeani found herself forced to completely rewrite the blueprint for her upcoming retirement years. In this episode, she dives deep into the complex, heavy emotions that followed, bravely uncovering the profound sense of shame and unworthiness she carried throughout her pregnancy as she struggled to accept a gift she felt she hadn't planned for or deserved.Jeani pulls no punches when discussing the distinct physical and emotional differences of carrying a baby in her 40s versus her 20s. From an early fetal viability scare and a whole new level of bone-deep exhaustion to a sudden preeclampsia diagnosis at 38 weeks, her path to the delivery room required total mental endurance. She walks listeners through her intense, multi-hour induction in Sioux Falls, detailing the physical agony of a grueling hour-and-a-half push to deliver a sunny-side-up baby—and the incredible labor positioning trick from a seasoned nurse that finally brought her son safely to her chest. Looking back with a heart full of grace, Jeani shares an emotional message for other women navigating later-in-life motherhood, wishing she could tell her pregnant self to banish the embarrassment, accept the support of a baby shower, and fully celebrate the beautiful disruption of a mid-life miracle.Get the resources, transcript, and more information about this episode: https://over40fabulousandpregnant.com/episode113/Get Rejoova Eggs & Rejoova Repair.

Today from SDPB - two perspectives on AI use in universities and the workforce, information about absentee runoff voting in Sioux Falls and more.

June 16th, 2026, Court Leader's Advantage Podcast EpisodeWhen former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, real estate executiveGloria Caulfield, and music executive Scott Borchetta praised artificial intelligence during recent commencement addresses, graduates responded not with applause but with boos. For a growing number of Americans, especially youngerworkers entering the workforce, AI is no longer viewed primarily as a tool of innovation and opportunity. Rather, it is increasingly seen as a threat to jobs, economic security, and public trust.The concerns are multifaceted. AI's massive demand forelectricity and water raises environmental questions. Its capacity to generate misinformation and "hallucinated" facts raises concerns about public trust and the integrity of information. Most significant for Generation Z, however, is the fear that AI will fundamentally alter the job market andundermine economic security.Many technology leaders appear largely unmoved by theseconcerns. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has argued that fears of widespread job displacement are overstated. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, contends that workers will not lose jobs to AI itself, but rather to workers who know how to use AImore effectively. Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, has similarly predicted that AI will increase productivity, create new opportunities, and improve living standards rather than simply eliminate jobs.The public remains unconvinced.A March 2026 Quinnipiac University poll found that 70% ofAmericans believe AI will reduce the number of available jobs. Among Generation Z, concern is even more pronounced, with 81% believing advances in artificial intelligence are likely to decrease employment opportunities.These concerns are fueled by highly visible workforcereductions. In 2025, Amazon announced approximately 14,000 corporate layoffs while acknowledging that AI-enabled efficiencies played at least a partial role in workforce reductions.[i] UPS announced plans to eliminate 20,000 positions. While the main reason for the reduction in force was a pullback by Amazon, CEO Carol Tomé also cited efficiencies from implementing AI.[ii] Cisco reduced itsworkforce by more than 4,000 employees while increasing its focus on AI-driven networking and security products.[iii] For many workers the message is unmistakable: artificial intelligence means fewer jobs rather than greater opportunity.Courts have historically been cautious adopters of newtechnology, and artificial intelligence appears to be no exception. Yet courts also face chronic staffing shortages, budget constraints, growing caseloads, and increasing pressure to improve efficiency. State legislatures, funding authorities, and court leaders may soon begin asking whether AI can help courts accomplish more with fewer resources.This month, we examine the growing backlash againstartificial intelligence. Is it a temporary reaction or the beginning of a lasting shift in public attitudes? Are court professionals and the public prepared for the inevitable transition? [i]Variety, "Amazon Says It Will Lay Off 14,000 Corporate Workers, Citing AI" (October 31, 2025)[ii] Gulf News, "AI Job Cuts: Major Companies Replacing Humans with Bots in 2025" (February 21, 2026)[iii] PBS (October 28, 2025), “Despite reporting record quarterly revenue of $15.8 billion — up 12% year-over-year —Cisco announced layoffs representing less than 5% of its global workforce, as the company realigned around AI-driven growth”Today's PanelTJ BeMent Court Administrator, 10th Judicial Administrative District Athens, GeorgiaRick Pierce Judicial Programs Administrator, Administrative Office of the Courts, Mechanicsburg, PennsylvaniaKarl Thoennes Court Administrator, Second Judicial Circuit Court, Sioux Falls, South DakotaCreadell Webb Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer, 1st Judicial District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia,Pennsylvania

On this episode of HALO Talks, we welcome Nick Ovenden of GreatLIFE, an organization that has redefined community recreation in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area. What began as a sort of "accidental" golf course acquisition has evolved into a network of six golf courses, 19 fitness centers, and a bowling alley, serving over 40,000 members within a 90-mile radius. Nick joins us to discuss the unique business model that blends fitness, golf, and family activities under one membership, fostering inclusivity and long-term member engagement. Pete and Nick also dive into how their employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is shaping company culture and succession planning, the impact of combining recreational offerings on attrition, and GreatLIFE'S commitment to building community through partnerships and transparency.  When it comes to the recovery trends that were brought up in discussion, Nick states, "If you have not gotten on the workout recovery train yet, your time and your stop is now. You got to get these products in there before these workout recovery and spas end up saturating your market." Key themes discussed Combining golf, fitness, and bowling for family experiences Membership structure: simplicity and inclusivity Community partnerships and local business integration Reducing attrition through varied activity options Transparency in financials and business education Board-driven decision-making post-ESOP transition A Few Key Takeaways 1.Unique Multi-Activity Membership Model: GreatLIFE combines golf courses, fitness centers, and a bowling alley under a single membership structure. Members can choose between single, couple, or family plans and select either a Fitness Plus or Golf and Fitness Plus membership, aiming to keep things simple and all-encompassing. This approach fosters a stronger sense of community and encourages member retention by offering a broad range of activities for various interests and life stages. 2. Intentional Face-to-Face Member Onboarding: The organization has deliberately chosen not to use online sign-ups. Instead, all memberships are started in person to ensure that team members can fully explain their offerings and guide new members to the option best suited to their needs. This helps reduce attrition by keeping members engaged with new activities as their interests change. 09:04. 3. Low Attrition Rates Driven by Diverse Offerings: With multiple activities available like fitness, golf, pickleball, bowling, and group classes, members are less likely to leave since there is always something appealing. As a result, their annual member attrition rate is relatively low (about 30%), and staff turnover is also below industry averages 09:45. 4. Community Over Competition: GreatLIFE maintains close, non-competitive relationships with other local golf courses and fitness entities. Rather than trying to compete directly, they work together and even refer potential members elsewhere if their own services do not match a visitor's needs. This bolsters the overall community and reputation, benefiting everyone. 07:16. 5. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) as a Succession Strategy: A key differentiator is the adoption of an ESOP for succession planning. This structure allows employees to gradually gain ownership stakes in the company, fostering long-term commitment and a sense of shared responsibility. The move also helps preserve the company's culture, aligning incentives and making employees more invested in the company's success. 10:55 Resources:  Nick Ovenden: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-ovenden-8b047349  GreatLIFE Golf & Fitness: https://joingreatlife.com  Integrity Square: https://www.integritysq.com Prospect Wizard: https://www.theprospectwizard.com Promotion Vault: https://www.promotionvault.com HigherDose: https://www.higherdose.com

What if worship isn't just about the songs we sing on Sunday mornings, but about the very foundation we build our lives upon? This exploration of Psalm 1 challenges us to reconsider everything we thought we knew about intimacy with God. The opening psalm doesn't begin with celebration or instruments—it begins with roots. We're invited to see that worship is not an event we attend or a song we sing, but the life we build day by day. The psalm presents a stark contrast: we're either like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in season with leaves that don't wither, or we're like chaff that the wind blows away. The difference isn't in our outward religious activity, but in where we've let our roots go down. Are we rooted in God's presence, delighting in His word and meditating on it day and night? Or have we let our roots go down into success, comfort, approval, or other things that cannot carry the weight of our souls? The progression in verse one is sobering—first we walk with ungodly counsel, then we stand in ungodly patterns, and finally we sit in ungodly identity. Drift happens slowly, and what may not feel significant in the short term will completely reroute us from God's blessings over time. The invitation is clear: intimacy with God begins when He stops being a religious obligation and becomes the desire of our hearts.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.
