Best friends, moms, and fearless flippers Kristy Etheredge and Rebecca Franchione join us to talk about their brand new A&E series The Mother Flip, premiering August 16th on A&E's HomeMade Nation. From risky all-cash deals to turning junkyard houses into jaw-dropping showpieces, these two prove that hustle, heart, and a little bit of Hill Country grit can turn even the roughest property into real estate gold.About the Show – The Mother Flip In The Mother Flip, best friends and fellow moms Kristy Etheredge and Rebecca Franchione—alongside contractor Roy Salinas—take on Texas Hill Country's worst homes and flip them into stunning, high-value properties. With all-cash buys, bold renovation plans, and a fearless attitude, they turn neglected, rundown houses into sophisticated showstoppers, splitting the profits three ways.The series kicks off with "Junkyard Gem", where a promising unlisted property in a prime Austin neighborhood turns out to be a nightmare—think junk piles, overgrown yards, and major repairs needed. But Kristy and Rebecca aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, transforming the disaster into a luxurious, modern home that could fetch a big payday.Kristy Etheredge – Bio Kristy Etheredge is a Texas Hill Country local with a career spanning over 25 years in marketing, sales, event design, and management. She's worked with powerhouse brands like the PGA TOUR, NHL, NFL, and SXSW, where she mastered the art of executing high-pressure projects with creativity and precision. Today, Kristy brings that same energy into flipping homes—managing budgets, sourcing salvaged materials, and crafting beautiful, cost-effective designs. A wife and mom of two teenage athletes, Kristy thrives on big challenges and always finds efficient solutions to make visions come to life.Rebecca Franchione – Bio Rebecca Franchione's flipping career is fueled by guts, grit, and a sharp eye for deals. After 25 years of moving around the country as the wife of a college football coach, Rebecca embraced a new chapter—divorced, raising three teenagers, and flipping houses at a rapid pace. In just the past year, she's completed 18 flips, always chasing the thrill of transforming overlooked properties into profitable investments. A published author and community-minded entrepreneur, Rebecca's hustle is matched only by her fearless approach to design and negotiation. She lives in the Texas Hill Country across the street from Kristy, proving that sometimes your best business partner is also your next-door neighbor.https://www.aetv.com/shows/the-mother-flipBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

Mary Neely first came to the world's attention during the pandemic with her viral videos, earning praise from Lin-Manuel Miranda and Andrew Lloyd Webber, as well as being named "Best Theater of 2020" by The New York Times and The Washington Post. Since then, she has been delivering  great work on both sides of the camera, such as the tv pilot “Stars Diner” which premiered at SXSW this year, “Valley Girl,” “Lyle Lyle Crocodile,” and Netflix's “Happiness For Beginners.” Now, she and Kareem Rahma (“Subway Takes”) co-wrote and co-star in the true New York low budget indie film “Or Something.” On this episode she tells the story of meeting Kareem, how that film came together, and the “endurance test” of shooting a feature in 6 days. She talks about growing up an “acting nerd,” what she learned from performing different jobs on a set, the difficulty in accepting herself as more than an actor, why it all starts (and ends) with memorizing the text, and much more. "Or Something" opens in New York on August 22nd and in LA in September Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Follow Back To One on Instagram

What do you care about these days? Caring is the currency of leadership, but here's the paradox: when we care too much about too many things, we can lose sight of the things that truly matter. So the question is: How do you direct your energy toward what you value, without becoming overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things you could care about? The most effective leaders are those who can connect deeply with their teams, foster trust, and create a sense of safety and belonging. They lead with empathy, not just strategy.But perfectionism and overfunctioning can lead us to feel like we need to be everything to everyone, at the expense of our well-being and, ultimately, the quality of our leadership.For many of us, the path to effective leadership begins with finding your enough.

"Can You Fly" Yes, Freedy Johnston did his California Thing and it was immortalized on his 1992 album Can You Fly. When you're an artist you can go one of two ways: east or west and he Kansas-born singer-songwriter Freedy Johnston went east, landing in New York after college. Firmly planted in the 212, Johnston worked odd jobs and wrote songs and after keeping at it, he signed with the fledgling indie label Bar/None and that kicked off a career that has yielded classic albums like This Perfect World, Never Home, Back On The Road To You and, of course Can You Fly, which, after almost 30 years is available again in a remastered on CD and clear vinyl pressing. More on that in a second. Johnston has worked with Butch Vig, Aimee Mann, T-Bone Burnett, The Embarrassment and John Dee Graham, he's played all over the world, been praised by everyone from Rolling Stone to The New York Times, had a hit song with "Bad Reputation," played Conan, SXSW and signed to a major label. It's a partial list, but you get the idea: Freedy Johnston has had quite a career. With a new album on the way, Johnston has never sounded better. And Can You Fly has never sounded better either; a storming set of jagged pop like Trying To Tell You I Don't Know and In The New Sunshine along with wistful ballads like Tearing Down This Place and We Will Shine, Can You Fly is a timeless classic that remains dynamic and vital. www.freedyjohnston.com (http://www.freedyjohnston.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers The Podcast: Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com) BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast

In this episode of Sync Music Matters, I sit down with Jenn Anderson-Miller, a leading voice at the intersection of music, technology, and rights, to explore how How AI Is Reshaping the Music Industry from how music is made to how creators are protected. About Jenn Miller - How AI Is Reshaping the Music Industry Jenn Miller is the CEO and Co-Founder of Audiosocket, a forward-thinking music tech company revolutionising how music is licensed and used in media. With over 15 years of experience helping shape the music licensing landscape, Jenn is also the host of the insightful new series, Equitable Solutions for Creators in an AI Era. Jenn has participated in the DOJ Copyright Roundtable Sessions and recently moderated a SXSW panel on the future of music rights management. She brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and real-world experience to the urgent conversation about How AI Is Reshaping the Music Industry. Traditional AI vs Generative AI: What's the Difference? We begin by unpacking the difference between traditional AI, which powers tools like recommendation engines and music data analytics, and generative AI, which can now create entirely new compositions, lyrics, and even synthetic vocals. What does this mean for artists, composers, and rights holders. Will AI Replace Human Composers? Can generative AI replace human composers? That's one of the key questions we explore. While AI is capable of generating music at scale, Jenn emphasises the emotion, humanity, and lived experience that only human creators bring - the very qualities that make music truly resonate. We also examine whether the rise of AI-generated content will push audiences to seek out more authentic, human connection through music and what that might mean for the future of music. Rights Management in the Age of AI A major focus of our conversation is the evolving world of music rights management. As AI tools become capable of generating content that mimics real artists or samples existing work, who owns the rights to AI-generated music? Jenn shares her expertise on the legal and ethical implications, the need for updated rights frameworks, and why protecting creators is more important than ever. Key Takeaways: AI will transform music workflows, but human creativity remains irreplaceable. Emotion and authenticity are the core of what makes music meaningful. The industry must modernize rights management systems to address AI's impact. Advocacy and equitable solutions for creators are key to shaping a fair future.

Meanwhile, Santa Monica is staring down her own hairy scenario as ownership of her strip club dangles in front of her. Starring Abby Morelos, Chloe Fineman, Matt Cornett, Paula Pell, Natalie Morales, and Charlie Day, this flick premiered at SXSW back in March before being released by Hulu in May. But does this teen comedy satisfy our hosts equally? Or is it all risky business and no reward?

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're joined by Israa Nasir, a psychotherapist, speaker, mental health advocate, creator of the digital platform Well Guide, and author of the brilliant new book Toxic Productivity, here today to have a conversation with us about what it means to feel enough in a world that constantly tells us otherwise. Inside the episode, we're exploring how hustle culture and the need to always be doing something not only impacts our careers, but also how we love and date.  We'll talk about the sometimes invisible pressure to check every box and make things work, and we'll look at how comparison, perfectionism, and rushing intimacy can keep us stuck in dating loops that leave us anxious - and yet wanting more. Israa shares insights on how family and cultural expectations shape our relationships, and how we can honor our roots while still choosing ourselves.  We also get into vulnerability vs. oversharing, why external validation isn't the enemy, and how curiosity, not criticism, is the key to dating with more clarity and self-compassion. So if you've ever felt like dating was just another performance, like you're behind in this unspoken race to be partnered, or like your "enoughness" is waiting to be confirmed by someone else, this one is for you! Let's do the Flirties, and meet Israa!

Today, I am joined by old friend and fellow MassArt alum Ben Sisto to discuss his acclaimed documentary, Who Let The Dogs Out (2019), ahead of his upcoming screening with a Q&A at Alamo Drafthouse in Boston. We talk about SIM (Studio for Interrelated Media at MassArt), a surprise guest at Fort Thunder, Providence and delaying projects during the pandemic! Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Baha Men classic with Ben for a Q & A at the Alamo Drafthouse in the Seaport on Tuesday, July 22nd. Who Let the Dogs Out (Hodgee Films, 2019) Only Boston Screening! Tuesday July 22 Alamo Drafthouse Cinema 60 Seaport Blvd., Boston MA, 02210 In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Baha Men's global pop sensation, Who Let the Dogs Out, OPEN is presenting screenings of Who Let the Dogs Out, a documentary film following artist Ben Sisto from Seattle to the UK as he attempts to gently nudge-back against the concept of individual authorship in favor of a view that art is a collective process. Produced by Hodgee Films, Who Let the Dogs Out made its debut at SXSW (2019), was a hit at Hot Docs (Toronto), and was later adapted into an episode of the popular podcast 99% Invisible. In addition to the Boston screening, the film will play at the Providence Public Library alongside Sisto's collection of some 300 pieces of research materials and ephemera. The Boston screening will be followed by a live Q&A with Who Let the Dogs Out writer Ben Sisto and critic Oscar Goff of The Boston Hassle. Some kind words: "…niftily balances a tightrope equation of “how much is this a white paper and how much is this an entertaining movie,” — Observer You'll never hear that damn song the same way again, that's for certain." – POV Magazine It's all just very confusing." –A/V Club About Ben: Ben Sisto is an artist who lives in Providence, RI with his family, including a dog called Andie. He is the world's leading expert (unchallenged) on Who Let the Dogs Out. Back in the 2000s, Ben lived in Boston where he organized many concerts, parties, and flea markets at places like Mass Art, Great Scott, and The Milky Way. I Think This Is Great! with Clay N.
