Thank you for listening to noseyAF! So happy to have your ears!This Conversation was recorded live for Lumpen RadioEp #104: Joe Schupbach: Care Is the CurriculumSUMMARYWhat does care really look like — beyond Valentine's Day chocolates and heart-shaped cards? In this episode of noseyAF, Stephanie Graham sits down with Joe Schupbach, a mission-driven educator, theater maker, and instructional coach with over two decades of experience in public education, nonprofits, and community-centered theater. Together they explore care as a daily practice: in classrooms, in collaborative creative spaces, in our neighborhoods, and in ourselves.Joe shares how he stumbled into creative leadership, what trauma-informed teaching really means in practice, and why experiential learning matters more than ever in today's schools. The conversation moves through faith and identity, the joys of cooking as connection, and ends with a rallying call to get nosy about your local schools — and to support live, in-person art.WHAT WE GET INTO

In this Bold Journeys conversation, host Rob Spee sits down with Carlos Hidalgo for a raw, unfiltered story of infidelity, redemption, and God's relentless grace. Carlos opens up about growing up in church, learning to "perform" Christianity, and living a double life—successful on the outside but driven by anger, selfishness, and the need to control everything around him. He shares how casual pornography use while traveling escalated into a two‑year affair, the moment his wife uncovered the truth in 2015, and the devastation that followed: a broken marriage, fractured trust with his kids, and the collapse of the life he built. Carlos explains how restoration only began when he finally surrendered—letting God dismantle his manipulation, pride, and illusion of control. The grace, forgiveness, and rebuilding of the family prepared them for what came next - a hemorrhagic stroke that hit Carlos suddenly while he was alone in a church weight room. He recounts losing vision, the emergency life flight to Albany Medical, and the sobering risks of brain bleeds. Through it all, he describes a surprising peace, the strength of community, and how suffering reshaped his priorities toward urgency, gratitude, and deeper relationships. Carlos shares the spiritual anchors that carried him—prayer, Job 23:10, and the hymn "And Can It Be" (the hymn you hear in the background of the opening clip) —and offers this hope to anyone walking through darkness: God can redeem what feels impossible, and joy can coexist with hardship. Key Takeaways Rock bottom revealed the real fight: When his affair was exposed, Carlos faced a defining moment—keep fighting for control or finally surrender to God. "Getting life back" wasn't love: A counselor confronted him with the truth: his push to restore life on his terms was manipulation, not transformation. Redemption required surrender: Healing came only when Carlos stopped trying to be sovereign and yielded fully to God's authority. Small compromises lead to collapse: Pornography wasn't harmless—it was the first step in a long chain of choices that eroded his integrity. Suffering reframed everything: After a hemorrhagic stroke, Carlos embraced a "win‑win" outlook—life with family or life with Jesus—and committed to urgency, gratitude, and intentional relationships.

Three Operating Principles from This Conversation 1. White space is now dynamic, not staticWhite space used to be analyzed every 18 months. Today, Ryan is seeing strategy cycles compress to quarterly—or even monthly—reviews. Not because leaders love churn, but because technology and culture are moving too fast for set-and-forget thinking.White space isn't always a massive blue ocean. More often, it's a small, highly specific intersection of your value proposition, your customer's real needs, and what you can actually execute well, right now. 2. AI works best when it supports judgment — not when it replaces itRyan offers one of the clearest, most useful frames I've heard for AI and small business:Don't ask AI for big, sweeping answers.Ask it a series of small questions you can common-sense check, and let those answers ladder up.This takes longer. It requires thinking. And it keeps humans in the loop.That matters because for a small business, one AI mistake isn't annoying; it's expensive. One missed email, one misrouted opportunity, one wrong automation can cost real money.Interestingly, Ryan is also seeing large corporations pull back from “AI everywhere” toward controlled automation and fixed workflows. The lesson? We're not at the point where we can responsibly turn everything over, and pretending we are is risky. 3. Community is now a strategic advantageRyan makes a compelling case that small business owners should be in their local business community at least once every two weeks, not to network performatively, but to gut-check reality, compare notes, and stay human.Some of the most valuable insights right now are coming from people with just a few years of experience, because they're in it, learning fast, and willing to share what's actually working.You never stop learning. And you don't need decades of experience to contribute. You just need a clear point of view and an open mind. The Bigger PictureDespite uncertainty, Ryan is seeing more optimism in business than he has in years. Not blind optimism, earned optimism.As he puts it, we have more control than we realized last year. But control only matters if we use it.This is a conversation about:Staying human in an increasingly automated worldUsing powerful tools wisely instead of stupidlyShowing up—locally, imperfectly, consistently—for the world we want to createWe're the ones we've been waiting for. Connect with Ryan EdwardsCamino Five: camino5.comRyan Edwards on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ryanedwardsConnect with John Batesjohnbates.comexecutivespeakingsuccess.comlivelikealeader.show This episode makes no difference without you.

Are We Living Through the BIGGEST Crisis of Purpose & Meaning in History? 3 in 5 young Americans believe that their life lacks purpose. This isn't just a statistic, it's a silent epidemic reshaping mental health, identity and future...So, how do we fix it? In this DOAC debate, Greg Koukl (Christian), Alex O'Connor (atheist), and Dr K (psychiatrist) explore why so many feel lost, whether God is the answer, how death anxiety drives our search for meaning, and how YOU can find direction…today.  This isn't just a discussion. It's a confrontation with life's hardest challenge: finding meaning, and how faith, reason, and spirituality compete to fill the void. Greg Koukl is a Christian apologist, speaker, and founder of Stand to Reason, Alex O'Connor is a philosopher, writer, and host of the Cosmic Skeptic channel, and Dr K, is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, mental health educator, and co-founder of Healthy Gamer.  Together, they discuss:  ◼️If God gave you a purpose…what does that actually mean? ◼️Why “do what makes you happy” is terrible advice for finding meaning ◼️How comfort is quietly killing your sense of purpose ◼️The shocking truth about modern loneliness and identity loss ◼️The “paperclip problem” that exposes religion (00:00) Intro (02:27) Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist (05:24) What Is Purpose?

January 25, 2024, A Question of Ethics Conversation Episode Welcome to the latest episode of A Question of Ethics Conversation.  The topic for this discussion is Organization Fairness.  The October 26th, 2023, Question of Ethics Conversation hosted by Samantha Wallis, brought up many interesting questions.  One set of questions revolved around the concept of fairness. We are all dedicated to fairness and take it seriously, Canon1.3 of NACM's Model Code for Court Professionals speaks to fairness.  It reads that the court professional makes the court accessible and conducts his or her business without bias or prejudice. The Model Code actually mentions Fairness nine different times. Fairness, however, is subjective. Everyone has their own idea of what is fair.  What I consider fair may not be the same as how you see things. What are the perceptions of fairness in an organization, particularly a court organization? Employees often express perceptions of fairness, with which we, as managers, might disagree. Although not all employees hold these perceptions, they are common enough that it might be instructive to ask if we, as managers, can craft responses that can convince employees of a different view of fairness.  Can we come up with something more than just saying “the organization has determined the following policy is fair, the topic is not up for debate.” This Conversation recounts three specific perceptions that some employees have. The panel will discuss if there is some sort of response that could persuade employees of the validity of a different concept.  In essence, is there a response that might change “hearts and minds?”    ·         Perception 1 A manager needs to be able to perform the desk work of every employee he or she manages. If he or she cannot, that manager has no right to conduct performance reviews of the employees. ·         Perception 2 Managing employees is just using common sense.  There is no great skill involved in management.  It is ridiculous that courts pay exorbitant salaries to managers for just using their common sense. ·      Perception 3 The employee's manager is not the employee's friend.  If an employee gets into trouble at work and they need an advocate.  The manager will not save them.   Today's Moderator Peter Kiefer: Host of the Court Leader's Advantage Podcast Series Today's Panel   Samantha Wallis: Deputy Trial Court Administrator, Supreme Court, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho Creadell Webb: Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer; First Judicial District, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Stacy Worby: State Jury Coordinator, Alaska Court System, Anchorage Rick Pierce: Judicial Programs Administrator, Administrative Office of the Courts, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania  Join the Question of Ethics Conversation held after the Ethics Subcommittee meetings every fourth Thursday of the month at 2:00 ET.   Email us at: ethics@nacmnet.org

Qualitative research professionals often create top-line reports as a key deliverable. Sometimes the top-line is the only deliverable, and in other cases, it is a preliminary one (followed later by a more thorough, full report). Unfortunately, the term “top-line” is often misused. But as a Research Rockstar, we want you to know the correct use, and in this Conversations episode, your host, Kathryn Korostoff, shares some guidance as to how you can create a top-line with confidence. This Conversation is an excerpt from the Research Rockstar eLearning course on Writing Qualitative Research Reports, available at Training.ResearchRockstar.com.

"Some of the shared concepts - even words that psychoanalysis and musicians use - such as conflict, ambiguity, silences, dissonance, resolution or not, working through, is in the Mozart you've heard. What you hear in the very opening four measures was worked through this entire sonata, it was thematic. If we play the whole sonata, and even in the first movement, you get a taste of it. Those themes are present throughout the sonata just like in the patient's associations and interactions with you -  we have music themes and we have core conflicts, and they get developed.”    Episode Description: We begin by listening to the opening of Mozart's A minor sonata, performed by Professor Louis Nagel. Mozart wrote this during the time of his mother's death, and it was one of the very few instances of his utilizing a minor key. From that example, we explore the interface between the dynamic mind and the layering of classical music. Concepts of core conflict, displacement, and resolution represent important meanings in both fields. Julie shares clinical examples of how music enters her clinical space with her patients. She also shares with us her life story and how music played a central role in helping her negotiate tumultuous personal circumstances. She demonstrates what it means to be an ambassador for both music and psychoanalysis -  on and off  the couch.   Our Guest: Julie Jaffee Nagel, PhD is a psychologist, psychoanalyst, and musician. She graduated from The Juilliard School, the University of Michigan, and The Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute. She has presented widely on Stage Fright, Careers in the Arts, #Me Too and Music Education, The Value of Music in Mental Life, and “Injustice, Oppression, and Prejudice As ‘Heard'” in Music.” Her fantasy dialogue, A Conversation Between Mozart and Freud, was performed in Steinway Hall, NYC, in February 2020. She is the author of Managing Stage Fright and Melodies of the Mind.   She has served as chair of the American Psychoanalytic Association's discussion group Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Music, was a member of the Program Committee, Symposium Committee, and is currently Chair of the Ticho Award Committee. She has presented at The College Music Society, Music Teachers National Conference, and National Conference on Keyboard Pedagogy, from whom she received their Distinguished Service Award. Additional Awards include two Nathan Segal Awards (MPI), The Karl Menninger Award, and the Ernst and Gertrude Ticho Award for contribution to psychoanalysis and music.   Her latest book, Career Choices in Music Beyond the Pandemic: Musical and Psychoanalytic Perspectives, offers unique musical and psychological perspectives on one of the most important decisions made in a musician's (or anyone's) lifetime: choosing a career.   She is in private practice in Dexter, Michigan.   Louis Nagel is Professor Emeritus of Piano at The University of Michigan School of Music Theatre and Dance and the winner of the Harold Haugh Award for Excellence in Teaching at The University of Michigan Recommended Readings:   Anderson, E.
