Episode 279 - Mastering Music Education: Is a Master's Degree Worth It for Teachers? Getting my master's degree was one of the best things I did! I was about 14 years into my career. Some of my classmates had just completed their bachelor's degrees. I don't think they got as much out of it as I did (I could tell by their responses in class discussion). There are affordable options out there that will let you continue to teach full time. Mine cost me less than $9,000, and not, it wasn't when dinosaurs ruled the earth. I completed it in 2012.

James Divine says "There once was a little boy whose mom told him he could be anything he wanted…a policeman, a doctor, a lawyer, even President! He exceeded all her expectations and became a music teacher. He married his HS sweetheart, is father to 4 and grandpa to 10." James retired from full time teaching but still teaches band part time at a charter school. The rest of his time is spent speaking, training, writing, podcasting, and performing. And often holding hands and eating pizza and cannoli. Now for the boring, adult stuff… James earned a bachelor's degree from St. Joseph's College in Maine and received my music education from the Army School of Music, graduating from the basic, intermediate, and advanced courses over a span of ten years, serving in Virginia, Japan and Colorado. He retired from the Army Band in 2006. He earned a teaching license from Western Colorado University and completed a master's in music education at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. James believes in the value of life-long learning! He just doesn't like standardized testing.

As the suffrage movement played out on the national stage with women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul leading the charge, Oklahomans were also working to see the 19th Amendment passed and ratified. In this episode, Trait Thompson and Dr. Bob Blackburn discuss the political landscape in Oklahoma and Indian Territories that initially rejected suffrage after 1890 along with their guest, Dr. Sunu Kodumthara from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. The trio expounds upon the contributions of Oklahoma suffragists such as Aloysius Larch-Miller, Narcissa Owen, and Kate Stafford that ultimately led to adoption of a state constitutional amendment in 1918 and the federal amendment in 1920. They also delve into the antisuffrage work of Alice Robertson, and Kate Barnard's decision to forgo suffrage work in lieu of her other causes
Jehovah Has Healed is a book that was born out of a mother's journey through loss, faith, and the Supernatural. Like every newly married couple, Carine and Victor Njoh dreamed of a happily ever after life, but God had other plans. In Carine's words – “It looked like I'd never see the dawn of the day. I asked many questions, but the answers didn't seem forthcoming.” In the book, Carine walks us through her experiences, but in this episode, we go deeper into how Victor was also impacted by the multiple loss and how God revived their faith and healed their hurt. Today, we continue from where episode seventeen(17) ended. I hope the conversation inspires you as it did me. This is such an important topic in our community, as it could lift up the spirit of someone going through something similar. It is therefore my greatest hope that the conversation doesn't end here, and that we can keep it going within our circles. Thank you for listening. Meet Our Guests : Victor is the 3rd child (first set of twins) from a family of 8. Born in Kumba, Cameroon to Mr. Christopher Njoh & Mrs. Ruth Njoh née Tabod, both of blessed memory. He relocated to the U.S in 1996 where he attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU ) in Weatherford and graduated in 2003 with a Doctorate in Pharmacy. Carine is the 5th of 6 children. Born in Buea to Mr. John Ndeh & Mrs. Hilda Ndeh née Asanji. She relocated to the U.S in 2000 where she started College at Southwestern Oklahoma State University, as well. She graduated in 2010 with a Doctorate in Pharmacy. Victor and Carine met at SWOSU. At the time, Victor was President of Southwestern International Students Associations (SISA), and so was instrumental in helping her navigate the (school) system. Their relationship kicked off a couple of years later. They got married in 2008 and that's where their story begins.

She is Board-Certified Geriatric Pharmacist, Advanced Mind Body Medicine Practitioner, Certified Lifestyle Coach, and Adaptive Yoga Instructor who helps people embrace healthy living, aging, and dying. In 2004 Veronica earned her Doctor of Pharmacy from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in 2004. Her journey into pharmacy began with the death of a close family friend. The family friend suffered a traumatic brain injury and was then put on a long list of medications. The side effects of the medication were not tolerable for her. She spoke to her physician and said she could not continue like this and was told that this was her new normal and to deal with it. She was given no guidance and continued the medication and shortly after she died of suicide. Veronica became a pharmacist because she wanted to be the healthcare professional that this family friend really needed, someone that could be the voice of reason and say that there are always other options, other ways to do things. That there are safer ways of using medications than others. Sometimes the answer is more medication and sometimes it is no medication at all. That is why Veronica is a pharmacist she wants to be that health care provider for patients who are sick and tired of being sick and tired and want to find a way outside of the pill box. In this episode they expand on what holistic healthcare is and what being a holistic pharmacist is, medication, when it is necessary and when it isn't, how clinicians can benefit from utilizing a pharmacist and more! Here are some of the highlights: Holistic healthcare looks at the whole person and we treat not just the symptoms but the root cause of the problem. Functional medicine is that framework to ask that question of why are you having this symptom? Conventional medicine has often prescribed in medication a pill for every ill. Functional medicine says why are you having this symptom and what is the root cause? How are we going to treat that? It is not always something that comes back to a nutrition deficiency or some other physiologic thing going on in the body. Sometimes it is a emotional or spiritual. The holistic approach to health care is looking at the whole person not only at their physiologic needs but their spiritual and emotional needs as well and giving credit to all of it. When Veronica was in pharmacy school, she was taught that Lifestyle and nutrition is the core of health. When lifestyle and nutrition failed, they were told to use medication. She gets excited when a patient comes in with an ailment that requires them to be on a long-term medication. Veronica says we need to be having the deep prescribing conversations with our patients, this is the planed and supervised process of discontinuing or reducing dosages. She says we should be having these conversations with our patients because most of these medications are band aids and not cures. They are buying us time to make those lifestyle changes are bodies are asking us to make. Poly pharmacy is using multiple medications at once. The greater the medications you use at once the greater the likelihood of having medication related harm or drug interactions. Veronica says she thinks It is important that we find ways for patients to reduce their medication burden for their long term safety. Food as Medicine and Functional Medicine gave her more tools in her toolbox to help her guide her patients on how to reduce her medicine needs and improve their health without reaching for more pills. Listen and learn how Veronica works with patients to reduce medications they are on. Veronica's Clinical Pearl for Physical Therapist working with Pharmacist– “I want to give a shout out to all our physical therapists and occupational therapists. I think that you are some of the professionals with the best skills to help our patients with gaining the skills that they need to reduce their medication needs. Learning how to move their bodies more efficiently and how to improve their cardiac health and manage their pain are all skills that you have to offer our patients and help them navigate life with a lower medication burden. So thank you for having a different skillset to bring to our patients that they really need to be able to have maximum health with minimum medication.” Helpful research and training: EIM Lifestyle Nutrition Course Introduction to Lifestyle Medicine Course Lifestyle Medicine and Emotional Health Certification in Lifestyle Medicine Lifestyle Medicine Certificate: Real World Application with Jessica Baker Take 5!

“When you have shows that are centered on women, you allow for stories that finally give a platform to issues that women have been trying to put a spotlight on for years, whether it’s health care or sexual harassment or equal pay. Television is a perfect platform.” We talk with Dr. Sunu Kodumthara, a professor of American History at Southwestern Oklahoma State University, about ways women have been portrayed on television and what those portrayals reveal about American society and culture. We discuss depictions of traditional #genderroles, programs that showed women in the workplace, representations of #womenofcolor, and finally some of the most significant female rebels on American television. For that last category, we are joined by Elizabeth Bass of the Oklahoma Historical Society for a free-flowing discussion of Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia – possibly the four most amazing (and golden) portrayals of women in the history of television.

She is a founding member of the local group Paranormal Activity Investigators."I like to think of myself as a skeptic, in that I have an open mind. I do not go into an investigation with any preset ideas of what I may or may not find. Of course I'd love to be able to authenticate all rumored hauntings and ghost lore, but that just isn't realistic. At the same time, just because I did not witness or have any findings of paranormal activity in a location, I accept that others may have experienced something. I never consider any investigation closed. I have over 20 years of paranormal research experience and happily admit that I have changed my mind about numerous things in the area when presented with new evidence."In addition to her work in the paranormal field Becky was the co-host of the podcast Darker Side of the Moon and is a founding member of the Kansas City Society of Burlesque.Email Becky: storytelling@ghostsagogo.comWebsite: http://ghostsagogo.com/Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ghostsagogo/ There is a Live Chat area on the Spreaker page, so please join us!Link to show: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mystic-moon-cafes-showEmail us: MysticMoonCafe@gmail.comMMC on Twitter: @mysticmoonc
Coach Philbrick talks 1995 Edmond Santa Fe football, how to overcome adversity, and making where you're at the "big-time." Introduction: Hey everyone and welcome to the All-Star Leader Podcast, where together we learn about leadership from the best and brightest, and keep it fun by connecting it to our passion for sports! I'm your host Daniel Hare, and today is an extra special episode. We're joined today by my high school football coach Blair Philbrick. Coach Philbrick led the Santa Fe High School Wolves to an 11-2 record and the state semi-finals in 1995, before moving on to coach at several other high schools. He then jumped back to the college level at the University of Tulsa and University of Pittsburgh. In 2012 he left athletics for private business where he has served as a corporate executive coach and a sales director. This is Coach Blair Philbrick. Hey Coach thank you so much for joining us! Interview Questions: Let's start off by talking about the really important stuff: 1995 Santa Fe High School football. What jumps into your mind when you reflect on that season? Was kind of a Remember the Titans type season Still just a brand new school and this was his first head job, so not being sure if he was ready to be a head coach We had a little chip on our shoulder after dividing Edmond into three high schools and wanting to establish who we were When did you know we had something special, and what was it that made that team special? University of Tulsa team camp; really bonded After week one when we lost our starting tailback Ben Satterfield for the season, and how the team responded to that adversity; lost two other key players soon after Even as we were winning, it seemed like we faced significant adversity nearly every week particularly with devastating injuries. What do you remember about that and how did you approach getting us through it? Great coaching staff that was always positive Rory Laisle's injury (severed pancreas) was life/death; lost John Hoeh to a knee injury as well Important to prepare for the adversity, so when it comes it isn't surprising There was a level of naivety he had that we were going to keep going and nothing could happen to us that would cap our potential Awesome to have Rory come back to kick extra points in the playoffs (Daniel: that youth/inexperience/naivety from coach was never felt by the players – we were bought in and assumed he knew what he was doing because it sure looked like he believed it!) He credits the coaching staff which he really relied on; great collaboration and ownership for each coach to coach their own position (Daniel: also faced adversity late in the year when taking our first loss after nine straight wins to open the season) Treated that final regular season game week as a special one; charter bus, etc.; and got it handed to us! Maybe the best lesson prior to the playoffs First playoff game was crazy; significant weather change from 2:30pm (65 F) and then at kickoff it was a blizzard. Got down 10-0 at half before rallying in the second half to win 20-10. We blocked what seemed like a ridiculous number of extra points and field goals; one in particular which essentially led to a come-from-behind first round playoff game. How did we do that?! We blocked eleven kicks that year Had made special teams a priority; given equal time in practice Bryan Houck had a knack for it Season ended with semi-final loss to Lawton McArthur Coach learned a lesson about not overcoaching and changing up what was working Feels responsible (Daniel: If you're a coach, hopefully this conversation reminds you of the impact you have on young people and the great work you're doing.) Okay let's back up a bit and give our audience some context. Tell us a bit about how/where you grew up, and how you got into football and coaching? Fortunate to grow up in a great home; father retired Air Force pilot who taught him well Knew early on that he wanted to be a coach Played five sports in Altus, OK before football/track at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. Taught high school science Raised a family (kids are 27 and 24) Had a Forest Gump life; lots of amazing experiences with amazing people Faith/family has been key You went from coaching in college to coaching in high school, then back to college. Talk to us about the major differences and what you enjoyed most about each. The difference between college and high school is the skill level The transitions back and forth weren't too difficult Players at each level wanted the same things, and the coaches were faced with many of the same things The “big-time” is where you're at (i.e. don't worry about what level you're at). (Daniel: how to do this) – Be the hardest worker and trust that the future/career will take care of itself Enjoyed building relationships with players at all levels; guys who have gone on to the NFL will tell him their favorite time in football was high school. You had the opportunity to work closely with Millennials and Gen-Zers. We know what's written and said about them, but I'm wondering what your first-hand experience has been. Didn't see a change in players from one generation to the next Always great energy Most of what has happened is parenting has changed – kids have been great Be positive/relatable, and learn about your people on a personal level Special questions from former Santa Fe players! Bobby Soltani – The ability to adapt to change is something great leaders tend to have in common. How did your approach to coaching or your coaching style change over the years? Adapt and understand what is important to your organization/players Know your team and have the willingness to want to get to know them Watch other leaders and observe how they adapt to change. (Daniel: did you ever have to change up your coaching style as the game changed) – Defining moment when he recognized the power running game was no longer the most effective strategy and had to adapt. Bryan Dearing – What advice or stories do you tell athletes who are not starters yet but could be? How do you help them reach that goal? One day Bryan asked coach to take him home from practice one day, and he used the opportunity to ask coach what he needs to do in order to play Coach said you have to prepare for a moment that may never come; and then one week later an injury created an opportunity for Bryan to start, which he did the rest of the year (at 5'7”, 140 lbs.) Jake Turner – What would you tell parents who are concerned about their children's safety playing football? Wish we could evolve football to a place with equipment/tech that would make the game safer But players are faster, bigger and stronger, and the physics of the collisions are tough to overcome He advocates middle school as the earliest to start playing, and to learn the fundamentals; until then play flag football Still one of the greatest games and greatest teachers of life / teamwork / family / brotherhood Five rapid fire questions: Name one trait or characteristic you want to see in a colleague. Enthusiasm/passion What habit has been key to your success? Persistence; empathy/emotional intelligence Most important app or productivity tool? Powerpoint/Outlook calendar A resource recommendation (book/podcast/etc.) Bob Beaudine books: The Power of Who (guest on Episode 014) Drive by Daniel Pink The Bible One sentence of advice for our audience of leaders? Never give up. Stay hungry and humble. With God all things are possible Thank Yous/Acknowledgements: Antioch Live/Clear Day Media Group – music More here.
