0871Today we're talking about something that millions of families experience, but very few of us are really prepared for: the moment when the people who raised us begin to need us to care for them. My guest is Emmy-nominated filmmaker Michelle Boyaner, whose documentary It's Not a Burden: The Humor and Heartache of Raising Elderly Parents, named Documentary of The Month by The Today Show, takes a remarkably personal look at that role reversal—not only through Michelle's experience caring for her own parents, but through the experiences of families from many different backgrounds. It's a story about caregiving, but it's also about guilt, humor, frustration, dignity, family relationships and, ultimately, love.https://www.seniorcareauthority.com/resources/boomers-today-podcast/

Lauren Cobello is the CEO and founder of Leverage with Media PR, a boutique public relations agency that helps authors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders use media strategically to build authority, credibility, and growth. Before launching her agency, she spent nearly two decades building her own personal brand as a personal finance expert, becoming a three-time author and regular national TV personality on shows like The Today Show, Good Morning America, Dr. Oz, and Rachael Ray. After scaling her personal brand to seven figures, she sold that company and bootstrapped Leverage with Media PR from zero to a million-dollar agency in just 10 months. On this episode we talk about: How Lauren paid off 40,000 dollars in debt and built a personal finance brand from a couponing blog. How national TV appearances became top-of-funnel “ads” that fueled her seven-figure business. Why she sold her first company, downsized her lifestyle, and went all-in on starting a PR agency debt free. The truth about the PR industry, including low-quality agencies, profit-first models, and why so many founders feel burned. How traditional media, podcasts, and social platforms now work together to build authority in 2026. Why relationships and senior-level publicists are the real differentiators for landing meaningful TV and podcast placements. The realities of getting on top podcasts like Joe Rogan and why most entrepreneurs need a more strategic, ego-free media plan. Top 3 Takeaways Media is a multiplier: When used strategically, every TV appearance, podcast, or feature should act as top of funnel that drives people into a sales ecosystem and builds trust before you ever enter the room. Not all PR is created equal: Most agencies optimize for profit, staffing junior or outsourced teams, while the firms that actually move the needle rely on senior publicists with deep relationships and clear KPIs. Traditional media isn't dead—it's leveraged: In 2026, the strongest brands blend traditional TV, podcasts, social, and newsletters, using prestigious earned media (like major TV shows) for credibility and association that makes everything else easier. Notable Quotes "Every single TV appearance that I did became top of funnel—an ad that went into my sales funnel and got people to trust me before I even walked in the room." "PR is not marketing, and most PR agencies are full of it because they sell promises junior teams can't fulfill." "You probably aren't going on the top five podcasts you're dreaming about, but the right ‘smaller' shows can move the needle more than the ones with fake followers and vanity metrics."

Jean Chatzky's mother died with $1.7 million untouched in her retirement account – money she was too afraid to spend. In this episode, David Bach sits down with Jean, bestselling author and founder of HerMoney.com, to talk about her new book, The Forever Paycheck, and why so many retirees can't bring themselves to enjoy the money they spent a lifetime saving. They dig into why $45 trillion is sitting in American retirement accounts with almost none of it coming out, the psychology behind why we treat savings like "precious cargo" we're afraid to use, and what it actually means to build a "forever paycheck" – a reliable stream of income that lets you spend with confidence instead of fear. Jean also breaks down the different types of annuities, challenges the popular 4% withdrawal rule, and explains why your first decade of retirement — the "go-go years" – is the one you can't afford to spend too cautiously.

Join us for a conversation about one of the most debated topics in modern Christianity: the shape of the earth. For years, the flat earth movement has gained traction online, attracting millions of views and persuading many Christians that the Bible teaches a flat earth. In response, Will Duffy organized The Final Experiment, bringing flat earth advocates and globe earth advocates together to test key claims in a real-world setting. What happened? Did the results settle anything? Why has this issue become so influential among Christians? And what does the Bible actually teach? Eric Hovind and Will Duffy discuss the origins of The Final Experiment, what was discovered, the reactions that followed, and why this conversation matters for believers who want to stand on the truth of God's Word.

In this episode, we're joined by Regena Thomashauer—better known as Mama Gena—to explore the transformative power of surrender, pleasure, and living fully on your own terms. Regena is the founder of the School of Womanly Arts and the author of the New York Times bestseller Pussy: A Reclamation. For more than 25 years, she has taught hundreds of thousands of women around the world to reclaim pleasure, desire, and sovereign power as the foundation of a fully lived life. Her newest book, On Our Knees, invites us to reconsider surrender—not as submission or giving away our power, but as a radical way of reclaiming it. We talk about what surrender really means, why it can be especially powerful for women, and how it differs from silence, submission, or simply giving in. Regena shares practical advice for anyone who struggles to surrender, along with simple ways to reconnect with yourself when life feels overwhelming. We also explore her idea of “hard milestones”—the divorce, heartbreak, illness, and other experiences we often interpret as failures, but that can instead become profound turning points. Along the way, we discuss why pleasure isn't frivolous or indulgent, but part of the real work of creating a meaningful life. Regena offers five ways women can feel more at home in their own lives, practical strategies for getting through the worst possible day, and her thoughts on whether these lessons apply to men, too. We also unpack her distinction between becoming “The Courtesan” rather than “The Seductress,” and what can happen when women stop performing for others and begin living from their own desire and authority. Regena Thomashauer is an icon, teacher, author, mother, and one of the pioneers in the study and practice of pleasure. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Times of London, Good Morning America, and The Today Show. On Our Knees is her fifth book, published by Hay House on August 25, 2026. Prepare for a conversation about surrender, resilience, pleasure, power, and what it means to truly feel at home in your own life.

Joel “Jay-Ray” Anderson is a drummer that was recently touring with The Wiz.I caught up with him mid-tour. We talked about growing up in a musical family in Fort Lauderdale, learning drums from YouTube and his oldest brother, coming up through the Dillard High School drumline, studying music at Broward College and Florida Memorial University, landing his first tour (Pretty Woman) the week after graduation, and transitioning to The Wiz through a network built one relationship at a time. We got into gospel drumming history, drumline battles, a month spent touring Japan, and why networking, not just chops, is what actually opens doors.Jay-Ray comes from a house full of musicians. His father plays guitar and sings; his oldest brother plays drums and keys; another brother sings, plays drums, and plays saxophone; and a third brother plays bass, guitar, and keys while producing. Jay-Ray's own introduction to the drums came at six years old, when his oldest brother sat him down in front of a kit for the first time. By twelve, he had his own Sonor drum set, a gift from that same brother, and was already teaching himself by copying drumming videos on YouTube.Jay-Ray attended Dillard Center for the Arts, where he played in two jazz bands, marched snare in the wind orchestra and drumline, and got pulled onto snare drum as a freshman after impressing section leader Javon with a string of paradiddles. He talks about the discipline instilled by band directors Christopher Dorsey and Dr. Sheldon McClain, learning traditional grip for the first time, and the intensity of real drumline battles.Jay-Ray studied at Broward College (Associate's in Music Performance) before transferring to Florida Memorial University for his bachelor's degree, where he played under percussion director Taurus Lovely, a 25-year Broadway touring veteran (including Tina Turner: The Musical) who would later become the person who got Jay-Ray his first tour. Jay-Ray's first trip to New York came in 2018, when Dillard's jazz band won the Essentially Ellington competition at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the same trip where he first saw a Broadway show, Ain't Too Proud.The day after Jay-Ray graduated from Florida Memorial in May 2023, Taurus Lovely called with an audition opportunity for the Pretty Woman national tour. Jay-Ray recorded four songs from the show, landed the gig, and was in rehearsals in Syracuse, New York within months. He talks candidly about the learning curve of running click tracks and Ableton on the road, getting walked through the system by original drummer Kevin Maynard, and the parts of touring nobody warns you about, like setting up and breaking down your own kit on travel days. Over roughly two years with the show, he toured extensively across the U.S. and spent a month performing in Japan (Shinjuku, Tachikawa, Kyoto, and Osaka).Jay-Ray's move to The Wiz came through his network: Sammy Merandino and Quentin “Q” Robinson recommended him, and MD Michael Aarons brought him in. Jay-Ray left Pretty Woman in Wichita and, within a week, was in New York starting rehearsals, spending his off-hours studying original drummer Trevor Holder's book and comparing the Broadway cast recording to the touring arrangement. He also shares how he first met Q Robinson years earlier, showing up at Hamilton's closing show in Fort Lauderdale just to introduce himself.Asked what he'd tell a high school or college drummer chasing a career like his, Jay-Ray's answer is simple: networking. Every opportunity in his career, from Pretty Woman to The Wiz to this very podcast episode, traces back to a relationship someone else made on his behalf.Where to Find Jay-Ray* Instagram & TikTok: @jay.ray04* Facebook: Joel Anderson* Email: joel.r.anderson04@gmail.comResources * Free: How to Land a Broadway Gig Roadmap — subscribe to Broadway Drumming 101 (free or paid) and grab it at broadwayboundbook.com/roadmap* The Broadway Sub Playbook ($7.99) — available at signaturebrandworks.com* Broadway Drumming 101 merch (backpacks, tees, hats, mugs, and more) — signaturebrandworks.com* Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career by Clayton Craddock — out nowClayton Craddock was most recently the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

What if you've been lied to about what it actually takes to find your purpose? In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with Suzy Welch — NYU Stern professor, New York Times bestselling author of Becoming You, and one of the most trusted voices in the world on purpose and career strategy. Suzy walks Emily through the research-backed framework she teaches at NYU (the same one that makes grown adults cry in the front row), and the two go deep on faith, grief, and what really pulls people away from the life they were meant to live. Suzy opens up about the “Four Horsemen of Values Destruction,” the forces she's identified that quietly hijack people's purpose: expectations, expedience, events, and economic security. She shares the eerily universal “widow's dream” she experienced after her husband died, and why she doesn't believe anyone can do life without prayer. She also tells the story of a woman whose family was torn apart after a tragic boating accident, and how Suzy's own decision-making method helped bring that family back from the edge, including pulling her father back from the brink of suicide. It's a rare mix of hard data, personal faith, and real transformation. In this episode, Suzy explores: The Four Horsemen of Values Destruction: expectations, expedience, events, and economic security Why only about 11% of people actually want to “change the world” — and why that's perfectly fine Her framework for finding purpose: values, aptitudes, and interests The Values Bridge assessment, and why it's built to strip out social desirability bias The “widow's dream”: the strange, common experience she and other widows rarely talk about What daily prayer has meant to her since her husband's death The story of a family nearly destroyed by tragedy, and how her method helped save a father from suicide Why her NYU class is nicknamed “the class where everyone cries” Her real-time framework for deciding between two major life-changing opportunities Why she believes we're in the middle of a purpose crisis, and how AI is accelerating it Key Moments: 0:00 – Welcome + why this episode is called “Why Isn't Everyone Living Their Purpose?” 3:00 – Suzy's definition of purpose: the intersection of values, aptitudes, and interests 4:59 – What prayer means to her, and life since her husband's death 7:38 – Her NYU class nickname: “the class where everyone cries” 10:29 – The student who kept “getting” Zumba teacher as her purpose and couldn't accept it 11:47 – Horseman #1: Expectations 12:05 – Horseman #2: Expedience 14:31 – Horseman #3: Events (and the story of going back to the Today Show after her husband's death) 16:11 – Horseman #4: Economic security 23:59 – The Values Bridge assessment, and why it strips out social desirability bias 24:17 – Why only about 11% of people actually have “changing the world” as a top value 29:10 – The widow's dream: the moment a friend asked, “Are you having the dream?” 36:57 – Deciding between two major opportunities in real time, using her own framework 50:13 – The stranger who stopped her on the subway mid job-decision 55:16 – The family torn apart by a fishing boat tragedy, and how her method helped save a father from suicide 59:48 – Where to find Suzy, and her closing thoughts ✨ Where to find Suzy Welch: Book: Becoming You Podcast: Becoming You with Suzy Welch (wherever you listen to podcasts) Take the Values Bridge assessment: thevaluesbridge.com Website: suzywelch.com Instagram: @suzywelch
