Podcasting is IN.  Are Daniel and Jay a bit biased by that? Yes. But it's a great way to network with people in your field, pick your brain (or theirs), and learn new things you've never even thought about. The secret sauce about podcasting is having guests to draw growth—how do you put yourself out there and find them? Plus, you should aim to do more than audio—lots of creators and brands are also clipping their recordings to put on TikTok and Reels. That's killing two birds with one stone in terms of content. This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about podcasting—and how it's changing how we view creators and their brands.

Welcome back to the third season of Everybody in the Pool! Well, almost. We're busy preparing an exciting way to kick off the new year: with a four-part series on everybody's favorite topic, AI and energy use. We've already been worried about data centers and their global electricity consumption, but training new AI models (and answering our inane questions and writing emails for us) are pushing that demand potentially exponentially higher. In this series, we'll talk to executives from chip giant Nvidia and data center giant AWS (you know, Amazon), about their efforts to make computing more energy efficient, and then we'll turn to innovation with a fusion energy company that hopes to build plants right next to data centers, and a former Microsoft exec who was in charge of designing regenerative data centers.

Happy 2025! With our thoughts and prayers on the devasting wildfires in Southern California and the pending historic Presidential Inauguration (not to mention the birthday of Martin Luther King), we begin a celebration of CLR Special Education Educators. I have been inspired so many times by the dedication, commitment, and compassion that these educators demonstrate everyday. I have personally witnessed the moving validation and affirmation of students with various challenges. In so many ways, special education teachers are culturally and linguistically responsive inherently. We start the 3 part series with an educator from Southern California who is new to special education but not new to teaching. And as a bonus, Shawnee Muhammad shares her journey to responsiveness that started with Dr. Hollie 35 years ago, when they taught at the same school. A true full circle moment. Learn more about CLR and Dr. Hollie at www.culturallyresponsive.org and Twitter @validateaffirm

Don't believe the noise: clickbait is GOOD. At least, that's what Daniel and Jay think.  Clickbait often has a bad rap, but it's just a part of human nature: we want to read things that grab our attention. So, you should definitely lean into it, if you can. What are the best practices? What should you avoid? (Hint: avoid those RE: subject line emails) And, we talk about how having a good hook in your latest LinkedIn video can make or break your engagement rate. Attention is currency and it's time to stack it.  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about getting your audience's attention—without compromising quality.

Send us a textThis is our tribute to the 39th President of the United States. This episode features highlights from the State Funeral last week of the former President , interspersed with segments of his life in his own words, or from the coverage of the day, with music from the State funeral in the background. This is truly the end of an era for our host Randal Wallace as Jimmy Carter has been a central figure in his political life from the very start. Wallace stood on the side of the road campaigning for two of Jimmy Carter's opponents as a nine year old in 1980. Wallace became a Republican as result of that election campaign and for much of his early years was not a fan of President Carter.  But time changes everything and Wallace grew to admire President Carter's honesty, integrity, and countless good works around the world. However, it was in the production of this podcast that Our Host, as he explains, came to learn so much more about the President he had written off as a failure so many decades ago. By his own admission, our host looked at those six years from the fall of Saigon to the 1980 election as his great black hole of his history knowledge and it was through putting together these episodes that he learned how much more there was to the role Jimmy Carter has played in American History than he ever got credit for in his time. Wallace has stated that this segment of episodes put together in out 10th season that he learned the most about a subject matter he had not know about until then. He grew to admire President and Mrs. Carter far more than he had, and hopes if you do get a chance you will take a look at our back catalogue of episodes looking at both Former Congressman John Jenrette and former President Jimmy Carter. Farewell to President Carter, a true and faithful servant of his Lord, Jesus Christ, certainly he will be rewarded for a job well done.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Send us a textIn our first of several special editions in January, we shall bid farewell to two United States Senators who have spent their times in office reaching across the aisle in order find solutions to issues plaguing our nation. While that is commendable, it does come with a price and can hurt you in the base of your own party. One of the reasons both men stepped down from the Senate is that they had alienated large swaths of their own party faithful. The two Senators were Mitt Romney, a Republican of Utah and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a Democrat. We will hear from them in their farewell addresses to the United States Senate and we will hear from several other Senators, Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Cory Booker, Thom Tillis and John Tester,  as they look back at Senator Romney in this day of farewell addresses by retiring Senators.   Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!
