Greetings writers! Sarina here. Earlier in May I was surfing social media, as one does, when I came across a story about children's author Erica Perl and an ill-fated school visit. Her scheduled visit to a school was abruptly canceled. After asking a few questions, it was determined that a single parent had objected to… Well, it's hard to say. We'll let Erica tell her story. But you should know that Ms. Perl's twenty years of book publishing have included such salacious titles as When Cookie Met Carrot and A Whale of a Tea Party. (

Send us a textIn this Volcano Minisode, Katy introduces one of the most extreme animals on Earth: the scaly-foot gastropod, a deep-sea snail that literally builds metal armor from volcanic hydrothermal vents. Found over a mile below the ocean's surface, this snail survives crushing pressure, toxic heat, and total darkness—all thanks to a symbiotic relationship with bacteria and its one-of-a-kind iron shell.

In this episode, we break down the myth that being fast is the only way to succeed. In a world that's constantly rushing, it's easy to feel like you're falling behind if you're not moving at top speed. But what if your pace is actually tied to your purpose? We use the example of a snail's steady pace to show how each of us has a unique rhythm that works for us. Discover why slowing down at times can be just as powerful as speeding up, and how to find a balance that helps you show up in your best way—without the pressure to keep up with everyone else.#pace #productivity #conflict #myths #purpose #temperment #skill #will #emotions #mindset Connect with Dr. Stephen V.

Today we're joined by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Adam Elliot. Adam is Known for his painstakingly handcrafted stop-motion films like Mary and Max, and the shorts Harvie Krumpet, which won an Oscar, and Ernie Biscuit.Today Adam shares the emotional and artistic journey behind his latest film, Memoir of a Snail—a deeply personal, darkly whimsical tale about a young girl named Grace and her struggles with isolation and self-discovery.Memoir of a Snail—is nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards and as much as I loved Flow and The Wild Robot, I'd love to see this movie take home the gold. One thing that struck me when I was watching this is that AI doesn't stand a chance against work like this—the work is painstakingly personal, soulful, and filled with human touch and it's authentic movies like these that we need to rally behind.I cannot say enough good things about this movie, it made me laugh, it made me cry and I found it both entertaining and deeply moving. So all of you Academy voters, make sure to see it before the big day.In today's episode, Adam reveals the meticulous process behind crafting his stop-motion films, the challenges of writing deeply human stories, and why he insists on using entirely practical techniques in an age of CGI.Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Adam Elliot.1. Celebrate ImperfectionsAdam's aesthetic stems from a physiological tremor that makes drawing straight lines difficult for him. By embracing his imperfections, he's developed a signature style he calls “chunky wonky.” He encourages artists to celebrate their flaws, both in themselves and their work, as it adds authenticity and charm.2. Embrace Originality by Looking InwardAdam emphasized the importance of creating work that is uniquely your own. Drawing inspiration from his family, personal history, and everyday people, he crafts deeply human stories. For emerging filmmakers, he advises focusing less on homage and more on introspection to find your unique voice.For filmmakers searching for their own voice, Adam suggests taking a step back from external influences. Instead of asking, “What kind of films do I want to make?” he advises asking, “What stories do only I have to tell?” He believes that everyone has unique experiences that can be shaped into compelling narratives—whether it's an unusual upbringing, a family quirk, or an unforgettable encounter.At the heart of originality is authenticity. Audiences connect most with stories that feel honest and deeply personal. Adam's advice: don't chase trends or worry about what's marketable—dig into your own life and embrace the details that make you, you.3. Art Takes TimeAdam's writing process is unconventional—he starts with the details first, such as small quirks and objects (e.g., John Denver music, guinea pigs), and then pieces together the story and structure later. He went through 16 drafts of the script over three years, emphasizing the importance of patience, meticulous research, and revision. Memoir of a Snail took eight years to complete due to Adam's dedication to every stage of production—from scriptwriting to crafting the characters and sets. His meticulous attention to detail is a reminder that meaningful work often requires patience and persistence, but the results can be amazing.4. Balancing Comedy and Tragedy Engages AudiencesAdam's films strike a delicate balance between humor and heartbreak, ensuring that audiences experience an emotional journey without being overwhelmed by darkness. He believes that life itself is a mix of light and dark, and his goal as a filmmaker is to capture that contrast in an authentic way. If a film leans too bleak, it risks leaving audiences emotionally...
