Step inside the recording studio to understand more about one of the greatest voices of our time, Celine Dion. My guest is Vito Luprano, the Sony Music executive and creative force who worked on 21 of Celine's albums and helped shape her rise from a shy francophone teenager into an international superstar. Vito found the songs. Fought for the sound. Pushed for the reinvention. And helped Celine move from French-language success to global domination. He shares some of Celine's iconic moments, from "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" to "I Drove All Night," "Taking Chances," "Alone," and the unforgettable story behind "My Heart Will Go On." This is a rare look behind the curtain at one of the world's greatest stars, her journey to the top, her songs, the tension, and her heartbreak when she lost Rene, the love of her life.

Fame is not fun.” KevOnStage We got a good one for you Pivot Family!! In this episode, Ryan, Channing and Fred sit down with comedian, entrepreneur, and creator Kevin Fredericks, known as KevOnStage, for an honest, hilarious, and heartfelt conversation about comedy, family, and carving your own lane in the entertainment industry. Kev opens up about his journey from church stages to digital stardom, the ups and downs of building a brand rooted in authenticity, and what it really means to balance faith, creativity, and business in today's world. He opens up about his relationship with his wife, Melissa, together since they were teens and still going strong almost 30 years later. Not always easy to navigate, Kev shares how he had to learn to be vulnerable and not keep emotions bundled up, especially losing his brother unexpectedly and how he was able to release his grief during dark times while finding peace in humor and faith.

From viral sketches to building his own streaming platform, Kev shares the lessons he's learned along the way—and the moments that tested his belief in himself and how walking away from a steady job to move across country changed his trajectory. This conversation is filled with a lot of laughs, real talk, and wisdom on how to keep pivoting with purpose and always find a way to the other side.

With a unique background that spans business development in Belgium to sales and operations leadership in South Florida attractions, Jeremy brings a global perspective and a deep passion for the guest experience. Jungle Island, located on Watson Island in Miami, blends zoological elements with immersive, eco-friendly experiences and event-based attractions. In this interview, Jeremy talks about the Jungle Island experience, everything is marketing, and taking chances on employees. The Jungle Island Experience “Jungle Island really feels like an emerald heart in a concrete jungle in Miami.” Jeremy describes Jungle Island as an 18-acre eco-adventure park located between downtown Miami and South Beach. Known for its lush landscaping and immersive natural environment, the park blends animal encounters, a botanical setting, and a vibrant event scene. The attraction's history traces back to 1935, originally known as Parrot Jungle in Pinecrest Gardens. When it moved to Watson Island in 2003, the transition came with both opportunity and challenges. While the central location has made it a prime venue for private events and late-night programming, the daily traffic congestion has impacted visitation from local families—Jungle Island's core demographic. Still, Jeremy and his team have leveraged these dynamics to deliver an evolving and diverse guest experience. Everything is Marketing “Marketing is responsible from the first contact you have with your guest... until they've actually left the building and they filled out a survey.” With a strong foundation in marketing, Jeremy brings a guest-centric perspective to Jungle Island's operations. He emphasizes the importance of understanding guest behavior and designing experiences that align with their expectations. When reopening after COVID, Jeremy launched a bold initiative: free garden admission for locals. This not only reintroduced guests to the park but also proved more effective than a million-dollar ad campaign. Events like the Lantern Festival and strategic night programming help extend the park's reach, especially in a market like Miami, where guests tend to make last-minute plans and seek evening entertainment. For Jeremy, marketing extends far beyond promotions—it's about shaping every touchpoint of the guest journey. Taking Chances on Employees “Giving young people chances and letting them fly and letting them figure out where life takes them is important.” Jeremy's leadership philosophy places a strong emphasis on employee experience. From free meals and snacks to an extra vacation day for visiting other attractions, Jungle Island invests in its team in meaningful ways. Inspired by ideas from industry peers, Jeremy implemented a program where employees explore other attractions using FAA (Florida Attractions Association) white letters and report back with feedback. These insights are reviewed during operational meetings, fostering a culture of learning and innovation. Jeremy also shared his observations about working with younger generations, recognizing the shift in mindset and the importance of mental health support. While not every chance taken leads to long-term retention, he values the growth that comes from giving employees the opportunity to develop and contribute.   For more information about Jungle Island, visit jungleisland.com.

In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the true meaning of Memorial Day; to honor those who died serving the country, rather than celebrating personal freedoms or retail sales. Eric encourages listeners to remember and never forget the sacrifices made by service members and their families, particularly the Gold Star families who have lost loved ones. He suggests watching the movie "Taking Chance" to honor Memorial Day and acknowledges the freedom enjoyed in the retirement industry is built on the sacrifices of these fallen heroes. Eric also clarifies that while veterans can be thanked year-round, Memorial Day is specifically for remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice.Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation of any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstance of all qualified plans can vary and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan specific circumstances.

Vitality & Performance Optimization PodcastVitality Course WaitlistFive Primary Points of this Week's Podcast* Preparation as a Key to Success: The podcast emphasizes the transformative power of preparation, citing quotes from Louis Pasteur and Seneca to underline that "chance favors the prepared mind" and "luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." Examples like the Beatles, Muhammad Ali, and Steve Martin demonstrate how relentless preparation and honing one's craft lead to extraordinary success.* The Importance of Muscle Mass, Strength, and Power: Dr. Mishra highlights the distinction between these three aspects of muscular function:* Muscle Mass: The total volume of muscle tissue.* Muscle Strength: The ability to exert maximum force.* Muscle Power: The speed at which force is generated. Decline in muscle power is particularly significant with age and is linked to risks such as falls and frailty, making it essential to optimize all three for healthy aging.* Grip Strength and Longevity: Grip strength emerges as a critical biomarker, associated with reduced risks of conditions like diabetes, cognitive decline, and depression. Enhancing grip strength and overall muscular fitness supports vitality and longevity.* Balance as a Predictor of Aging: The ability to balance on one leg is identified as a powerful and reliable indicator of aging and musculoskeletal health. Simple practices, such as one-leg balance exercises during daily routines, can help maintain balance and reduce the risk of falls and associated injuries.* Call to Action – Take a Chance and Be Prepared: The podcast encourages listeners to "take a chance" in pursuing their dreams but to do so with thorough preparation. Practical steps, such as incorporating resistance training, focusing on balance, and sharpening observational skills, are essential for building resilience and achieving long-term vitality and performance.Vitality & Performance Optimization PodcastVitality Course Waitlist This is a public episode.

Samantha Palmer is the Director of Brand Experience for Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL. With over 20 years of experience at the college, plus time as a student, Samantha has played a pivotal role in developing and overseeing the historic tours and retail operations at Flagler. Her work focuses on enhancing the brand experience for both students and visitors, leveraging the college's rich history and iconic architecture. In this interview, Samantha talks about historic tours, St. Augustine's tourism industry, and taking chances on people.   Historic tours   "You get to experience the brand not only through what their script is... but you also get to experience a student who is here working on their four-year education."   Samantha discusses how Flagler College's historic tours are a unique blend of education and tourism, allowing students to gain invaluable public speaking and storytelling skills. The tours are not just about showcasing the beautiful and historic campus; they also serve as a crucial recruitment tool for the college. By involving students as tour guides, the program offers a dual benefit—visitors get a glimpse of the college's rich history, and students gain hands-on experience that enhances their academic journey and prepares them for future careers.   St. Augustine's tourism industry   "We have always been members of the St. Augustine Attractions Association... we're kind of lucky that this area is so concentrated with attractions, but we're also willing to talk to each other."   Samantha highlights the collaborative spirit within St. Augustine's tourism industry, emphasizing the unique position Flagler College holds within this historic city. As a major attraction in St. Augustine, Flagler College contributes to and benefits from the city's vibrant tourism sector. The college's involvement in local attractions associations and partnerships with other sites, such as the St. Augustine Lighthouse and the Pirate Museum, ensures a cohesive and enriched experience for visitors. Samantha also notes how the college's location and history make it an essential stop for those exploring the oldest city in the U.S.   Taking chances on people   "I like to take chances on people. Let's see. What's the worst that happens?"   In her role at Flagler College, Samantha has learned the importance of taking chances on people, particularly students who may not initially seem like the perfect fit for a role. She shares stories of students who, despite their initial reservations or lack of experience, have thrived in positions like tour guides. These experiences often lead to surprising and rewarding outcomes, with students gaining confidence and discovering new career paths, such as in public speaking, theater, or law. Samantha's belief in giving people opportunities reflects her broader philosophy of mentorship and development, helping to foster a supportive and growth-oriented environment at Flagler College. If you'd like to learn more about Flagler College or get in touch with Samantha Palmer, you can visit Flagler College's website or reach out to her directly via email at SPalmer@flagler.edu. The historic tours at Flagler College, currently on hiatus for renovation, will resume in September 2024, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the college's rich history and architecture.   This podcast wouldn't be possible without the incredible work of our faaaaaantastic team:   Scheduling and correspondence by Kristen Karaliunas   To connect with AttractionPros: AttractionPros.com AttractionPros@gmail.com AttractionPros on Facebook AttractionPros on LinkedIn AttractionPros on Instagram AttractionPros on Twitter (X)

We just got back from a joyful and intense weekend at the Black Canyon 100k, arguably the most competitive ultra on US soil! Endurance sports are in the midst of a fundamental shift in what's possible, from the winners to the final finishers. This year's Black Canyon was a mind-blowing demonstration of how the game is changing, with tons of lessons that apply to all goals! Topics we discussed: why the sport has taken such a big leap in the last few years, how race dynamics have changed, the distinction of process v. results in an athletic trajectory, where big-carb fueling comes in, training thoughts, and so much more. We just witnessed a race that will go down in history as part of the first wave of a performance and competition revolution. Prepare to be inspired, awed, and motivated to slurp some carbs! And that was just the start! We touched on tons of our favorite things this week. Other topics: a BIG race announcement, a BIG plate of tater tots, pre-race goal-setting, impostor syndrome, aid station approaches, hydration strategy, wrecking Freetrail Fantasy picks, 2 new studies on THC and athletic performance, a doping positive from the Trail World Champion, a tragic loss for the running world, and hot takes. This one ends with a listener corner email that will bring you to the happiest tears. GET IT QUEENS!

As Deanne Fitzmaurice describes it, a photojournalist's job is part sociology and part archeology, but most important, it's being on the cutting edge of what's happening, telling stories about people. It's this combination of varied disciplines, connecting with subjects, and learning something new every day that has held her fascination from her very beginnings at the San Francisco Chronicle through to the rich tapestry she's woven as a visual storyteller today. We recently sat down with Fitzmaurice to gain insights into the many facets of her career as part of our coverage of B&H's 50th Anniversary Bild Expo 2023.  During our chat, Fitzmaurice regales us with details from some of her most impactful projects, including the challenging mix of sensitivity and perseverance needed to tell the story of Saleh, a seriously injured Iraqi boy. After explaining how this assignment morphed from a one-day news story into a Pulitzer-prize-winning long-term project, we take a deep dive into how image selection and sequencing were key to this award-winning series.  Never one to shy away from a challenge, Fitzmaurice also describes confronting baseball great Barry Bonds about his problem with photographers, which shattered his impenetrable armor and resulted in her gaining exclusive access to photograph him both on and off the field.  When discussing essential rules of journalistic ethics and credibility in documenting an unfolding scene, Fitzmaurice points to the category of portraiture as a rare opportunity to shift out of fly on the wall mode to direct the subject and build rapport. We conclude our chat with insights about the role luck has played in her career, and how she puts herself in a position for synchronicity to unfold.  Above photograph © Deanne Fitzmaurice Guest: Deanne Fitzmaurice For more information on our guest and the gear she uses, see: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/podcasts/photography/taking-chances-on-stories-to-tell-photojournalist-deanne-fitzmaurice-at-bild Stay Connected: Deanne Fitzmaurice Website: https://www.deannefitzmaurice.com/ Deanne Fitzmaurice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deannefitzmaurice/ Deanne Fitzmaurice X: https://twitter.com/deanne_fitz Deanne Fitzmaurice Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DeanneFitzmauricePhotography Think-tank: https://www.thinktankphoto.com/
