What does the evidence actually show when we look at plant-based dietary patterns through the lens of food processing? And does classifying foods as "ultra-processed" meaningfully change how we interpret the relationship between plant-based diets and long-term health outcomes? A recent large prospective cohort analysis examined both healthful and unhealthful plant-based dietary patterns, and importantly, stratified the contributing foods based on whether they were classified as ultra-processed or non-ultra-processed. In this episode, the study's lead author Dr Alysha Thompson, discusses the many intesresting aspects to the analysis. These include how the dietary indices were constructed, the challenges of applying NOVA classification to self-reported dietary data, the role of residual confounding in observational nutrition research, and the extent to which we can or cannot infer independent effects of processing from these findings. We also consider the broader implications for the use of processing-based classifications in nutrition science and whether this adds meaningful explanatory value beyond traditional assessments of diet quality.

Minnesota's water systems were attacked last week -- and we weren't alone. Seven states were targeted in all. That's according to new reporting done by the New York Times over the weekend. The Times also reports that federal officals suspect Iran may be behind the attacks, although the investigation is still ongoing. Plymouth, just northwest of downtown Minneapolis, was one the cities that dealt with the cyber attack. Public Works Director Michael Thompson says it wasn't their drinking water systems that went offline, but their sanitary system and two water towers. Thompson also shared with MPR News that since last week's attack, there have been more attempts to hack into Plymouth's water systems, “even though there's been attempted intrusions since those have all been blocked, but we continue to monitor.” Faisal Kaleem is a cybersecurity expert with Metro State University. He joined Minnesota Now to talk about the cyberattack.
Drop us a note about the podcast. A single Scripture can change how you see everything and Psalm 2 does not whisper. We start with God's warning to rulers and His promise of joy for anyone who takes refuge in Him, then we bring that lens to a modern story of violence in Lancaster, South Carolina. The question we keep circling is simple and uncomfortable: when we talk about immigration, crime, and ideology, do we remember the real victims and our responsibility to protect the vulnerable right in front of us?We also slow down and pray for listeners who are anxious, depressed, fearful, or at the end of themselves, and for those who serve in the military, law enforcement, EMS, and firefighting. From there we turn to Proverbs 5:18–19 and speak plainly about marriage, desire, and why churches often avoid the parts of Scripture that challenge our comfort. If you want Bible-based marriage encouragement that does not sugarcoat reality, this part will make you think and maybe prompt some honest conversations at home.Then we read Acts 22 and follow Paul through injustice, lawful appeal, and a chaotic council, connecting it to Proverbs 18:13 about the danger of spouting off before listening to the facts. We close with a piece of American Christian heritage: JCPenney's Great Depression collapse, a hospital hallway hymn, and a surrender that lifted crushing worry. If you need a reminder that faith in crisis is not bravado but release, this story lands.

Send us Fan MailScarcity is loud. It tells us there's not enough money, not enough compassion, not enough hope, and not enough time to help. In our final Summer Shorts episode, The Rev. Kenya Thompson, Vicar of Church of the Common Ground, offers a different narrative rooted in the miracle of Matthew 14:13–21, where Jesus feeds the 5,000. Miracles, she reminds us, are signs of God's presence breaking into ordinary life, revealing abundance where we assume there's only emptiness.In this episode, Melissa has a conversation with Kenya about everyday miracles, Jesus' creativity, and what "enough" really looks like. Together, they explore practical ways to show up for our neighbors—especially the most vulnerable—even when we feel our own resources are limited. Listen in for the full conversation. Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Indianapolis, Kenya attended Howard University, graduating in 1992. She later earned a master's in education from American University in 1996. For over 20 years, she worked in education, including as a high school guidance and college counselor for 15 years. Kenya joined St. George's Episcopal Church in 1995 and was confirmed that year. After discerning a call to ministry, she earned her M.Div. from Candler School of Theology – Emory University and was ordained in 2018. Her time working in China deeply impacted her spiritually, as she witnessed God's love through the kindness of strangers, even those not Christian. Since ordination, Kenya has served in various roles, including Vicar at Church of the Common Ground, Associate Rector at Holy Innocents' Episcopal Church, and Director of Leadership Development at Emmaus House. She is passionate about caring for the forgotten and the unwelcome. She considers being a priest an honor and a blessing and looks forward to future opportunities to love and serve God.Support the showFollow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.
In Part One, we followed Rainey Bethea's story through the murder of Lischia Rarick Edwards, his arrest, conflicting confessions and remarkably swift trial. After a proceeding lasting only a few hours, a jury deliberated for less than five minutes before sentencing him to be publicly hanged.Part Two begins with Black attorneys, journalists and civil-rights advocates attempting to secure Bethea a new trial. They questioned whether he understood his guilty plea, received adequate representation or had his constitutional rights protected. Although a federal judge temporarily stayed the execution, Bethea's petition was dismissed. Governor Chandler set a new execution date of August 14, 1936.Meanwhile, Owensboro prepared for a spectacle. A gallows was erected near the Ohio River, hotels filled with visitors, and residents held “hanging parties.” Thousands gathered around the scaffold, with spectators climbing onto vehicles and nearby buildings for a better view.National attention focused on Daviess County Sheriff Florence Thompson, Kentucky's only female sheriff at the time. Newspapers were fixated on whether she would personally spring the trap. Thompson instead selected Arthur L. Hash, a former Louisville police officer and World War I veteran who volunteered for the job. Witnesses said Hash appeared visibly intoxicated and unsteady on the scaffold.Shortly after 5:00 a.m., Bethea arrived from Louisville. He had been baptized while awaiting execution and reportedly said he had made peace with God. A priest accompanied him onto the scaffold, where he made his final confession but did not address the crowd.Hash released the trap as thousands watched. Afterward, spectators surged toward the scaffold, and souvenir hunters tore pieces from Bethea's clothing while he was reportedly still breathing. Professional execution consultant George Philip Hanna later called it the worst display he had witnessed during approximately 70 hangings.The scene generated immediate outrage. Letters and editorials described it as barbaric and humiliating, arguing that public executions encouraged mob behavior rather than serving justice. Owensboro's newspaper pushed back, accusing visiting journalists of exaggerating the disorder after they were denied the sensational story they expected: Florence Thompson personally pulling the lever.The backlash helped change Kentucky law. In 1938, Governor Chandler signed legislation repealing the provision that allowed people convicted of rape to be publicly hanged in the county where the crime occurred.Rainey Bethea's hanging is generally recognized as the last public execution conducted in the United States. Its history raises difficult questions about race, justice, punishment, media sensationalism and the public's willingness to turn death into entertainment.Content warning: This episode includes discussion of execution, mob violence and racism.Photos and newspaper clippings will be shared on the Kentucky History & Haunts social media pages.Questions, comments or episode suggestions?

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art.Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.A world-class music festival in the Brainerd Lakes Hedy Holmberg spends the summers by Bay Lake in the Brainerd Lakes Region. In the past five years, she's been attending the Lakes Area Music Festival, which she calls a hidden gem. The series kicks off Friday and runs through Aug. 23 with a series of concerts. Some of the highlights, Holmberg says, are Friday night's gala opening and a performance of Carmen Aug. 14 and 16, both at the Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts. She also loves bringing her grandchildren to the family-friendly Sound Garden event at the Northland Arboretum in Baxter, in which musicians perform throughout the gardens; that free event is Saturday, Aug. 1, at 10 a.m. Many of the concerts are also livestreamed. Holmberg says, "It is an absolute hidden gem to have these world-class musicians from all over the world come to Brainerd, Minn., and put on these amazing, high-quality, very professional concerts and other events. It's absolutely astounding to me. “And part of it is when we talk to the musicians, they talk about how much they love to come up here, how welcoming the community is. They stay with people in their lake homes. They develop a relationship with them over the years. I just can't say enough about it." Jazz dance takes center stage Susana di Palma is the founder and advisory artistic director of Zorango Flamenco Dance Theater. She wants dance lovers to know about Rhythmically Speaking's new show, Groovers & Makers, in which four choreographers will premiere new works with their takes on jazz dance. Rhythmically Speaking focuses on jazz, tap and American social dance styles, and di Palma says you'll leave wanting to dance yourself. The show runs Thursday through Saturday at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis. Di Palma is a big fan of artistic director Erinn Liebhard: "Erin's piece will be [about] time, good times and time travels. She is joined by three other choreographers that are all amazing. One is a great angel of a choreographer, Karla Grotting, and she is a master. And then there are two other choreographers: from New York, Maiya Redding, and Alexis Robbins from Connecticut." A graffiti pioneer steps into the gallery Installation artist Eric Rieger, who works under the name Hot Tea, started graffiti writing in 1996 and "immediately gravitated" to the work of George Thompson (aka EWOK). Thompson's exhibit "Zigged When I Should've Zagged" opens Friday and focuses on his studio practice as it has evolved from his graffiti writing. The exhibit includes nine works on paper created since 2020 as well as a print of his 2019 work "Cop Car." The exhibit is presented by Burlesque of North America, which is also launching a limited-edition zine featuring photographs of decades of Thompson's graffiti. The show at the Southside Preservation Society in Minneapolis runs through Aug. 28. Friday's launch from 7-10 p.m. includes a chance to screen-print a t-shirt with one of Thompson's designs. Rieger describes Thompon's style: "I would describe the artwork as almost, like, otherworldly, but also very familiar. It's almost like you're looking at a still life, but from like the year 30,000."

What is TEK? As climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, traditional land and water management approaches are proving insufficient to protect ecosystems and communities. Restoring tribal stewardship by re-establishing Indigenous leadership, returning ancestral lands, and applying Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) offers a holistic climate solution. By working with nature through practices like cultural fires, wetland restoration, and natural carbon capture, tribal stewardship builds ecosystem resilience, reduces wildfire and flood risks, and enhances natural carbon sequestration across California. How We Got Here Before European colonization, Native communities managed California's ecosystems for millennia through practices rooted in place-based TEK. Settler colonialism displaced those communities and severed TEK from ecosystem management. In California, this included the criminalization of cultural burning practices and the non-ratification of 18 negotiated federal treaties in the 1850s, which broke promises to reserve 7.5 million acres of permanent tribal homelands. Decades of fire suppression and environmental degradation have left forests overgrown with dry biomass and ecosystems vulnerable to hazards such as severe wildfires, flooding, and biodiversity loss. What Now? To begin addressing these historical wrongs and build climate resilience, in March of 2026 the California Natural Resources Agency launched a policy aimed at restoring meaningful tribal stewardship across at least 7.5 million acres of land and coastal waters. The policy outlines three pathways: Ancestral land return — land acquisitions by Native communities through state grants and land trust partnerships, Co-Management and collaboration — shared or delegated decision-making power between tribal and non-tribal entities for joint conservation, and Durable tribal access — removal of legal and administrative barriers so Native cultural practitioners can access ancestral territories. Advantages The main advantage of tribal stewardship is its ability to proactively mitigate extreme climate risks and restore ecosystems. Low-intensity cultural burning clears out woody biomass and dry plant material, preventing severe fuel buildup and slowing down catastrophic wildfires. In water ecosystems, restoring native wetland species like tule beds slows down floodwaters, enhances groundwater infiltration, and stabilizes freshwater ecosystems. Similarly, restoration of coastal kelp forests protects critical natural carbon sinks while cooling ocean waters. Likewise, facilitating tribal stewardship can promote Indigenous-led initiatives such as clean energy microgrids, which can provide surrounding rural communities with emergency power, shelter, and resources during climate-induced disasters. Ultimately, grounding land return targets in historical treaty obligations takes concrete, tangible steps toward truth, healing, and repairing historical injustices committed against Native communities. Drawbacks A current constraint of implementing tribal stewardship at scale is the ongoing challenge of securing durable, long-term funding for land reacquisition and management, especially when relying on fluctuating state budget cycles or bond measures. Negotiating co-management agreements also presents deep administrative challenges, as navigating complex, siloed legal structures across federal, state, local, and private landowning entities requires significant time and institutional coordination. Additionally, given that landscapes have suffered from severe degradation and artificial fire suppression, safely reintroducing controlled cultural practices requires intensive labor, resources, and careful planning to avoid runaway risks in overgrown forests. Finally, non-tribal government entities often struggle to integrate traditional knowledge because they aren't designed to blend Indigenous expertise with their laws and policies. The Guest's Take Geneva EB Thompson views tribal stewardship not only as a conservation strategy, but as an essential framework for climate resilience and environmental justice. For her, empowering tribes to steward land and water ecosystems creates a positive ripple effect that yields healthier, safer, and more resilient communities for all Californians. She emphasizes that all of California is ancestral Indigenous territory, and that centering Native leadership and place-based expertise in ecosystem management is vital for addressing interconnected climate hazards.

Most nonprofits are leaving millions — sometimes billions — on the table by asking donors for the wrong thing. In this episode, hosts Kristi Ackley and Jen Emerick-Cayton sit down with Eddie Thompson, founder and CEO of Thompson and Associates, a charitable estate planning firm with associates across the country. With more than 30 years of experience planning thousands of estates and generating well over $3 billion to charity, Eddie brings a perspective that challenges nearly every assumption nonprofits hold about how — and whom — to ask for major gifts.✨ In this episode, you'll learn: Why asking donors to give from discretionary income — less than 3% of the average person's budget — keeps most nonprofits stuck at average Why the smartest organizations ask for gifts of net worth instead Why even a billionaire may hesitate to give because wealth rarely feels like enough The three types of donors — habitual, emotional, and strategic — and the very different strategies each one requires Why 36% of baby boomers don't plan to leave any inheritance to heirs, and what that means for charitable giving How Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs can unlock larger gifts without impacting a donor's cash flow Why being at the table during estate planning — not just during a campaign — is where the biggest gifts are born How to move from nonprofit-centered asking to truly donor-centered relationship building

30 Sekunden Zusammenfassung: Fremdgehen beginnt nicht im Bett: 17,5 % berichten von sexueller Untreue, aber 27,5 % von emotionaler und 35 % von Verhalten in der Grauzone. Wir messen mit zwei Maßstäben: eigenes Verhalten beurteilen wir milder als das des Partners, aber nur bei emotionalen und digitalen Grenzen. Drei Marker statt starrer Regeln: Heimlichkeit, Verlagerung von Intimität, Erotisierung im Kopf. Ein Gefühl ist kein Betrug. Der Eisbär geht fremd, weil ihn zu wenig hält. Der Schwan, weil er Angst hat zu verlieren. Vor fast jeder Affäre steht keine Krise, sondern Taubheit. Was sich wie Liebe anfühlt, ist meist nur Aktivierung.

Angela Harger-Thompson had moved to Hollywood to make it big in showbiz but soon fell victim to a devastating assault. There to comfort her was her intermittent boyfriend. She really liked him and thought his offer of a four-week, 4000 mile sailing voyage on the Pacific Ocean, accompanies by a small crew of strangers and a dog seemed like a good idea. The claustrophobic pressure of that situation, combined with the dangers of ocean travel, was compounded by the rapid emergence of the covid pandemic. That meant closed borders, dwindling provisions, and a fear of what would come next. Angela tells us of the codependency in play in this situation, how they finally reached semi-friendly shores, how the romance crumbled hard, and the fallout that ensued. It's all detailed in her new book, Worst Tits Ever, a title that sprang from an angry missive from what had become her very much EX-boyfriend.

The author and filmmaker Rustin Thompson makes his first appearance on the podcast. His new documentary “The Last Picture Shows” will be premiering at the Village East in NYC as of August 7th and in LA on August 21st. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q44QXyYI5sU In “The Last Picture Shows”, director Thompson travels through the rural West’s ‘cinema deserts,’ where a single-screen theater may be the only movie house for miles. Expecting to find a pattern of abandonment and extinction, Thompson instead discovered theater owners and communities fighting to keep these cultural landmarks alive. The film follows the people preserving the moviegoing experience in their communities against the odds. The Last Picture Shows is ultimately a story of resilience and community.

Day 3 delivered upsets, dynasties extended, and a mayor in the stands — NYC's Zohran Mamdani made it out to Randall's Island for what has become the sports event of New York's summer, alongside the Knicks' NBA title and the World Cup.We discuss:FINALS:- Women's 400m — Aaliyah Butler, 49.93: In her first full season as a professional, the 22-year-old ran a perfectly executed race to win her first USATF outdoor title. Alexis Holmes was second in 50.47.- Men's 400m — Chris Bailey, 44.39: Bailey adds an outdoor title to his 2025 U.S. indoor crown — but not without drama. Justin Robinson crossed first in 44.31 before being disqualified for a lane violation, promoting Bailey to gold.- Women's steeplechase — Lexy Halladay-Lowry, 9:12.54: A stadium record and a successful title defense. Halladay-Lowry let Gabbi Jennings lead the first six laps before unleashing a devastating final 600m to pull away. Jennings held on for second in 9:17.42 — a career-best championship finish.- Men's steeplechase — Nate Mountain, 8:13.81: The upset of the meet. Mountain finished ninth at NCAAs just six weeks ago. On Saturday, he dove for the line to beat Carson Williams by 0.07 seconds (8:13.88 — a lifetime best for Williams). A national champion nobody saw coming.- Women's 1500m — Nikki Hiltz, 4:06.92: Eight consecutive U.S. 1500m titles, stretching back to 2023 indoors. Hiltz ran a 58.80 final 400m to hold off Addy Wiley by 0.04 seconds, who in turn beat Emily Mackay by 0.02. Three athletes separated by six hundredths of a second at the line.- Men's 1500m — Nathan Green, 3:50.27: A comically slow tactical race set up a predictable conclusion — Green showed his tactical savvy with a 51.65 final 400m to take the win.- Women's 100m hurdles — Alia Armstrong, 12.38: The unsponsored hurdler wins her first national title in a stacked final, running a season's best 12.38 to beat Alaysha Johnson by 0.04 seconds. A breakthrough moment for an athlete still without a shoe deal.- Women's pole vault — Sandi Morris, 4.90m: Ten U.S. titles. Morris cleared 4.90m on her first attempt to defend her 2025 outdoor title.- Men's javelin — Curtis Thompson, 87.59m: The greatest throw saved for last. Thompson trailed UGA's Davis after an 82.36m final-attempt effort, then launched 87.59m on his own last throw — improving his mark by over 10 meters — to win his sixth U.S. title and complete a four-peat.+ More from the 200m and 400m hurdles prelims.

With roots in eastern and western Oklahoma, Bob Blackburn graduated from Southwestern State College with a degree in History before earning his Masters and Doctorate degrees in History from Oklahoma State University. At the time of his graduation from OSU in 1979 he already had published his first of 26 books and discovered the new field of historic preservation. That same year he began a career in public history as editor of The Chronicles of Oklahoma, the journal of the Oklahoma Historical Society. In 1989 he was named deputy director and a decade later became executive director. Under his leadership, with a widening circle of mentors, colleagues, and partners, Blackburn developed a new business plan for all Oklahoma Historical Society operations that included a combination of state investment, private donations, and self-supporting sustainability. Among his accomplishments are the Oklahoma History Center, the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum, the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center, the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, the Battle of Washita Monument as part of the National Park Service, and the Gateway to Oklahoma History—a rapidly growing digital universe of newspapers, photographs, manuscripts, and documents accessible to everyone at no cost. Blackburn's contributions have been honored by the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits, Leadership Oklahoma and Oklahoma City, Putnam City Schools, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, OSU, the Journalism Hall of Fame, and the Higher Education Hall of Fame, among countless others. He is married to educator and former state legislator Debbie Blackburn. Together they have one son, Beau, daughter-in-law Tori, and two grandsons, Bodhi and Waylon. Now retired, Blackburn remains busy writing books, designing museum exhibits, and sharing his encyclopedic knowledge of Oklahoma history. Huge thank you to our sponsors.

In this throwback episode, we sit down with Elizabeth Thompson, Senior Manager of Social Media at National Geographic, who leads strategy for one of the largest social ecosystems in the world — over 400 million followers across platforms. Elizabeth shares the career journey that took her from Army brat and freelancer to running social for one of the most iconic storytelling brands, including how she grew Nat Geo's Instagram from 250M to 270M followers and TikTok from 2.5M to 9M. We unpack how a 137-year-old brand stays culturally relevant today, how her team uses UGC, reactive content, and new platform features to reach global audiences, and what creators and marketers can learn from building social strategy at scale. This one is packed with timeless frameworks — worth a relisten or a first listen if you missed it.Key Takeaways:// How to grow a legacy brand on social: The relevance, resonance, and risk framework Nat Geo uses to decide which cultural moments are worth jumping on — and which to sit out.// The power of UGC at scale: Why Nat Geo Your Shot was reimagined as a creative community, not just a content bucket — and how it drives belonging, not just reach.// Building strategy for massive audiences: How Elizabeth approaches content for 400M+ followers across seven platforms, and why an always-on strategy and engagement plays both have to coexist.// Career lessons for social pros: How internships spanning PR, journalism, and email marketing — plus a freelance business and a master's degree in Germany — shaped her path to Nat Geo.// Team building and cross-functional alignment: What transparency, flexibility, and proactive communication actually look like inside a large, matrixed organization.// The timeless principles that will outlast every algorithm shift: Authenticity, community, and adaptability — and why these three things will always matter no matter what the platforms do next.____Join the MHH Collective!

Adam Jenkins walked away from the world's most dangerous research project because he became convinced there was something far more important waiting to be built. When his closest friend arrives determined to change his mind, the conversation leads to an unexpected choice that could alter both of their futures. The Cave Where I Am Hiding by Robert Moore Williams. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. This is the fourth time author Robert Moore Williams has been on the podcast in the last ten months and there will me more. There was The Incredible Slingshot Bombs followed by Thompson's Cat and most recently The Next Time We Die. Today's story asks a question that must have seemed almost impossible when it first appeared in 1951. At the height of the Cold War and the race to build the hydrogen bomb, Robert Moore Williams imagined what might happen if the world's greatest physicist simply refused to keep making bigger weapons. Williams had already written more than 100 short stories when this one hit the stands in the October 1951 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories. We will find it on page 89, The Cave Where I Am Hiding by Robert Moore Williams… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A veteran Coast Guard captain witnesses an impossible rescue at sea, then finds himself chasing an explanation no naval report could ever record. As another convoy battles through the North Atlantic, he must decide whether to trust what every sailor knows cannot exist. Heroes Die Hard by Leroy Yerxa.

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of The Quivercast, we sit down with surfer and author Alastair Thompson to discuss the lessons a lifetime in the ocean has taught him. After decades of surfing, Alastair realized that the waves offered much more than great rides—they provided insights into life, resilience, balance, and personal growth. Although the idea of writing a book was intimidating, he felt compelled to share those lessons with others.That journey led to his book, A Surfer's Guide to Enlightenment, a thoughtful look at how surfing can inspire a more meaningful life both in and out of the water. In this conversation, Alastair shares what motivated him to put pen to paper, the challenges of becoming an author, and why he believes every surfer can take something valuable away from his story.

Roughly 1,000 Black men were trained in Tuskegee, Alabama to serve as Army aviators in World War II. Nearly 100 were killed — and of those, 27 went missing. Most were never recovered, leaving a trail of unresolved grief that would haunt their families for decades. Their stories are the subject of a new book called “Forgotten Souls: The Search for the Lost Tuskegee Airmen" by Cheryl Whitlow Thompson. An award-winning investigative journalist, Thompson is currently a reporter and editor at NPR. She's also a native of Chicago and earned two degrees from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Tremayne Thompson Summary of Tremayne Thompson's Interview with Rushion McDonald Thompson discussed his entrepreneurial journey from concert promotion in Chicago to establishing a thriving venue in Birmingham, Alabama, and later expanding into the Atlanta market. Throughout the conversation, he emphasized faith, service, community engagement, resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the importance of mentorship in business. Purpose of the Interview The interview was intended to: Share the entrepreneurial journey behind The Perfect Note. Highlight the importance of community-driven business practices. Discuss how entertainment, food, and culture can create meaningful experiences. Provide lessons on business ownership, leadership, and perseverance. Inspire aspiring entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams while remaining committed to service and excellence. Key Takeaways 1. Build Around Service, Not Profit One of Thompson's strongest messages was that his business was never built solely to make money. Instead, it was created to serve people, provide memorable experiences, and create a place where adults could enjoy music, food, and fellowship. 2. Faith Guided the Business Journey Thompson repeatedly credited faith and spiritual guidance for helping him and his wife navigate challenges, including economic uncertainty, growth decisions, and the pandemic. 3. Start Small and Do the Work The Perfect Note began with humble roots. Thompson and his wife personally set up tables and chairs, decorated venues, handled operations, and tore everything down after events. Their success came from hands-on commitment and consistency. 4. Adaptability Creates Survival During COVID-19, when many businesses struggled to remain open, Thompson and his wife pivoted quickly. They transformed their operation into a parking lot food service model, maintaining customer relationships and supporting employees during a difficult time. 5. Community Support Drives Long-Term Success By serving the community during challenging periods, The Perfect Note earned lasting goodwill. Thompson believes that businesses that genuinely support people often receive that support back many times over. 6. Mentorship Is Essential Thompson advised aspiring entrepreneurs to seek guidance from people who have already navigated the challenges of business ownership. Learning from experienced mentors can help avoid costly mistakes and accelerate growth. 7. Create Experiences, Not Transactions The Perfect Note's success comes from providing more than food or music. It offers an environment where people connect, celebrate, build relationships, and create lasting memories. 8. Continuous Learning Matters Before entering the restaurant business, Thompson intentionally worked at Waffle House to learn kitchen operations and food preparation. He stressed the importance of understanding every aspect of a business before investing in it. Notable Quotes "Our purpose is to be able to have grown folks something for them to continue to still do." A reflection of The Perfect Note's mission to provide a quality entertainment experience for mature audiences. "It wasn't motivated by making money. It was motivated by serving." Perhaps the most powerful statement in the interview, highlighting the philosophy behind the business. "When we knew how to serve, the money came." A lesson that sustainable success often follows value creation and community impact. "When this is over, how you've reached out to the community, they're going to reach back out to you." His description of how community support helped the business survive and thrive after the pandemic. "Always get a mentor, somebody who has been in it." Advice to entrepreneurs about seeking guidance before and during business ownership. "Information is free. I don't own it." A statement reflecting his belief in sharing knowledge and helping others succeed. "Go all in or go home." His summary of the commitment required to build a successful business. Bottom Line Tremayne Thompson's interview is a powerful story of entrepreneurship, faith, perseverance, and community leadership.

It's rare for 60 MINUTES to follow a story for 15 years, but Lesley Stahl reports on Jennifer Thompson, a rape victim who learned years after her attack that an innocent man had been sent to prison, a story Stahl covered in 2009. In this era of DNA exonerations, Thompson has come to believe that crime victims are forgotten, and even blamed, when the justice system gets it wrong. She has created Healing Justice, an organization that brings together the wrongfully convicted, crime victims and family members for multi-day intensive retreats and invites 60 MINUTES to come along as they share their stories and move together on a path of healing. This is a double-length segment.
