In a world where climate emergencies are being declared daily, why do so many of our city streets and public transport networks have misleading ads for the very industries driving the crisis?Our conversation with two C40 experts reveals how the fossil fuel industry mirrors old tobacco industry tactics using sophisticated techniques to "greenwash" their image and frame essential health protections as attacks on free speech. Tune in to learn how cities reclaiming the narratives in our transit systems and urban squares is a vital step toward fending off industry attacks and securing a safer, more sustainable future for all.Featured guests:Mariana Batista, C40 Senior Manager, Public TransportCharlie Worthington, C40 Project Officer, High Carbon Advertising BansLinks:The War Against Tobacco: 50 Years and Counting - National Library of MedicineHow the Fossil Fuel Industry Polluted the Information Landscape - Center for Climate Change CommunicationAir pollution from fossil fuels kills 5 million people a year - The GuardianIn The Hague, ban on Big Oil ads survives legal challenge - Courthouse NewsProfitable Growth Without Fossil Fuels - Clean CreativesFrequently Asked Questions - A World Without Fossil Fuel AdsDeclaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change - UNESCOCities Climate Transition Framework - C40 Knowledge HubClearing the way: A toolkit for positive, fossil-free city advertising - C40 Knowledge HubHow cities can restrict carbon-intensive advertising - C40 Knowledge HubIf you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website at https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/ Listen to the Cities 1.5 five-part miniseries “Going Steady with Herman Daly: How to Unbreak the Economy (and the Planet)" here: https://lnk.to/HDMiniSeries Cities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and the C40 Centre, and is supported by C40 Cities.

Hot Take: the climate crisis isn't some abstract data point or a dry policy debate, it's a deeply human story of survival. Right now, a whole generation is growing up inside the emergency, doing the heavy lifting to fix a mess they didn't create. We're bringing you the raw, human heartbeat of the movement and amplifying the voices that stole the show at the World Mayor's Summit in Rio.

What would you risk to tell the truth, if the institution you served was one of the most powerful corporations on Earth?Early scientific warnings about global heating have long stood in tension with corporate narratives shaping public understanding. This episode examines the enduring disinformation created and disseminated by the fossil fuel industry: how it evolves, why it persists, and what it means for the pace of climate action. Through the perspective of a former insider at ExxonMobil, we explore the widening gap between the disinformation narratives pumped out by fossil fuel companies and the personal consequences of challenging one of the most powerful corporations in modern history.Featured guest:Lindsey Gulden, Principal Data Scientist at Leg Up Data and former employee at ExxonMobilAudio sources: Oil giant ExxonMobil predicted climate change in 1970s - BBC NewsExxon CEO and Chairman of the American Petroleum Institute Lee Raymond speech (1996) - CPANWSJ: SEC probes Exxon after whistleblower complaint - CNBCLinks:New study in 'Science' puts a number on what Exxon knew decades ago about climate change - Potsdam InstituteHow a Newton woman became an enemy of ExxonMobil - The Boston GlobeTracing Big Oil's PR war to delay action on climate change - The Harvard GazetteCarbon Capture and Storage: The Billion Dollar Scam - Environmental DefenceTrump says he might keep Exxon out of Venezuela - ReutersCountering Climate Disinformation - C40 CitiesDisinformation episodes - Cities 1.5If you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website at https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/ Listen to the Cities 1.5 five-part miniseries “Going Steady with Herman Daly: How to Unbreak the Economy (and the Planet)" here: https://lnk.to/HDMiniSeries Cities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and the C40 Centre, and is supported by C40 Cities.

Across the United States, cities are acting as climate first responders - carrying climate action forward even as national politics grow more hostile. From clean energy and buildings to transport, land use and resilience to extreme weather events, mayors are proving that climate leadership does not depend on federal permission. It grows from proximity: to people, to impacts, and to the places leaders are entrusted to protect. Cities are stepping in to safeguard neighbourhoods, rivers, urban ecosystems and public health, often while the federal government undermines climate policy or attacks local authority.Featured guests:Keith Wilson, Mayor of Portland, Oregon, USAKirk Watson, Mayor of Austin, Texas, USAJuliet Oluoch, Research fellow at Ustawi Analytica and youth climate activist from Nairobi, KenyaLinks:Solved: How the World's Great Cities Are Fixing the Climate Crisis by David MillerThe Fate of the Inflation Reduction Act in the Second Era of Trump - Cities 1.5Trump signs order to withdraw US from Paris climate agreement for second time - The Guardian‘Poet, writer, wife, mom': who was Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by an ICE agent? - The GuardianMayor Keith Wilson Announces Portland Has Reached more than 1,500 Emergency Overnight Beds, Delivered at Unprecedented Speed - Portland.govCostumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone' - NBC NewsAustin Climate Equity Plan$3,000 grants offered to groups addressing climate change and food access challenges - Austin MonitorMore links for this episode available at jccpe.utpjournals.press and c40.org.If you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website at https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/ Listen to the Cities 1.5 five-part miniseries “Going Steady with Herman Daly: How to Unbreak the Economy (and the Planet)" here: https://lnk.to/HDMiniSeries Cities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and the C40 Centre, and is supported by C40 Cities.

In times of profound geopolitical turbulence - wars, trade shocks, energy insecurity, and climate breakdown - something unexpected is happening: while autocratic leaders double down on fossil fuels and climate denial, cities are stepping into the breach to create a different story. One of hope, resilience, and innovation.Like wildflowers pushing through concrete, cities around the world are experimenting with new economic models that challenge the old orthodoxy of endless growth. They're turning away from Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the sole measure of success and asking different questions: Are people housed? Are they thriving? Are we staying within planetary limits?Featured guests:Kate Raworth, Co-founder of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL)Leonora Grcheva, Cities and Regions Lead at DEALGiuseppe Sala, Mayor of Milan, ItalyNkosindiphile Xhakaza, Executive Mayor of Tshwane, South AfricaCarola Schouten, Mayor of Rotterdam, NetherlandsLinks:Doughnut Economics in Local Governments: An Overview of Emerging Practice by Leonora Grcheva and Michele VianelloSpecial Issue on Sustainable Prosperity in the 21st-Century City - the Journal of City Climate Policy and EconomyTrump fossil-fuel push setting back green progress decades, critics warn - The GuardianResources for a better future: GDP - Resilience.orgMilan's Food Waste Hubs NetworkCompilation of the Integrated Waste Management Plan for the City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan MunicipalityCCU Challenge: Unlock the City's Ambition of Becoming Fully Circular by 2050If you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website at https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/ Listen to the Cities 1.5 five-part miniseries “Going Steady with Herman Daly: How to Unbreak the Economy (and the Planet)" here: https://lnk.to/HDMiniSeries Cities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and the C40 Centre, and is supported by C40 Cities.

 In the face of the accelerating climate crisis, rising authoritarianism, and geopolitical shifts, national governments are faltering…but cities are stepping into the void and taking the lead. Season 6 of Cities 1.5 will delve into how municipal-level actions and powerful coalitions are creating a carbon-free future, promoting resilience, and enabling a new economic system based on wellbeing over profit. We'll explore how cities are countering disinformation, fear, and inertia by spearheading significant local climate initiatives and forming new alliances, daring national governments to follow in their footsteps. Because the future won't wait - so we need to decide now who will lead, and whether we want to move towards disaster … or resilience.If you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website at https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/ Listen to the Cities 1.5 five-part miniseries “Going Steady with Herman Daly: How to Unbreak the Economy (and the Planet)" here: https://lnk.to/HDMiniSeries Cities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and the C40 Centre, and is supported by C40 Cities.

Welcome to Cities 1.5 Hot Takes: Dispatches from the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis. Hot Takes brings you fast, focused coverage on breaking news and underserved stories at the intersection of climate, economics and public health - all through an urban lens. This first-ever edition of Hot Takes is about a major move in Canada's energy future…and what it means for climate, cities, and the promises made to hold fossil fuel giants accountable. As Canadian cities race toward net zero, their efforts are being fundamentally threatened by a high stakes federal agreement known as "The Grand Bargain": a political compromise on behalf of the Mark Carney government to build a new pipeline that would transport diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands westward across the rocky mountains to the British Columbia coast.Touted as a bridge to a clean energy future, we go behind the spin to explore the  real facts behind this project - and lay bare the reasons many are opposed to this doubling down on promises made by the fossil fuel industry…promises that historically haven't been worth the paper they're written on.Featured guests:Hon.

In This Episode In June we lost a pillar of our community, Barb MacLean, a brilliant fintech mind and a beloved colleague. A guest turned co-host on Breaking Banks and an invaluable member of Alloy Labs. She was truly special, she never hesitated to pay it forward or to speak truth, albeit in the most polite Canadian way, whether on podcasts or the stages of Finovate. Every week she curated a list of the most impactful things she had read and paired them with a song, publishing the Fintech Playlist. It was an honor to be included. She exposed us to new writers and new songs. For her, music was more than a backdrop — it was a language, a way to connect, to feel, to make fintech more human. This week's episode is a rerun of a favorite episode featuring Barb, JP Nicols and Alex Johnson discussing the invisible heist of business customers as part of our 'Unbreak the Bank' series. We hope to honor her legacy the way she lived it: with meaning, creativity, and community. There's a GoFundMe initiative started by her sister to support her family: https://gofund.me/81a8d4c5 And a Fintech Playlist T-shirt, with 100% of the proceeds going to Barb's family: https://www.bonfire.com/fintech-tribute-t-shirt-her-song-lives-on/ Let's keep her song playing!

Dive into Episode #144 of the Psych Health and Safety USA Podcast, featuring host Dr. I. David Daniels, PhD, CSD, VPS, and special guest Keidra Norwood, a human capital risk and safety consultant and founder of Egan Rose Consulting. Ms. Norwood is also a motivational speaker who specializes in helping people overcome imposter syndrome. With over 20 years of experience in risk management, compliance, change management, and executive advisory services across various industry sectors, Ms. Norwood helps her clients mitigate human capital risk by optimizing policies, empowering leaders, and providing strategies grounded in holistic employee engagement. She focuses on enabling organizations to put the human back in human capital and in conducting “safe space sessions” to help “unbreak the souls” of especially women that have been exposed to toxic work environments.

Breakups are heart-wrenching at any age, but when a partner leaves suddenly after three decades of marriage, it takes a lot of time to pick up the pieces. When Suzy Hopkins had this experience, she decided to team up with her illustrator daughter Hallie Bateman to channel her pain into a creative project, and their book, What To Do When You Get Dumped: A Guide to Unbreaking Your Heart, came to life. Suzy had a rich career in journalism including founding her own magazine, and Hallie is a writer and illustrator whose work has appeared in places like the New Yorker and the New York Times Magazine. This is the second book Hallie and Suzy have made together, and on today's episode, they're giving us an inside look at what creating this illustrated guide entailed and how healing the creative process was for both of them. Dr. Alexandra chats with them about some of the most painful aspects of breakups, and they explore the incredible renewal that can occur in the wake of loss, when we are able to accept support from those we love and summon the courage to reimagine our lives. "Your Anxiety Toolkit" on MasterClass: www.masterclass.com/youranxietytoolkitWhat to Do When You Get Dumped by Suzy Hopkins & Hallie BatemanHallie's websiteOrder Dr. Alexandra's book, Love Every DaySubscribe to Dr. Alexandra's NewsletterSubmit a Listener Question

In This Episode Banking executives, your business customers aren't leaving you for another bank—they're leaving banking altogether— at least partially. For now. As a part of our “Unbreak the Bank” series we dissect the most significant existential threat to community financial institutions since the 2008 crisis: the systematic extraction of business banking services into everyday business software. Community banks are hemorrhaging 12-18% of operational deposits annually to companies that don't even consider themselves “banks”, and they're moving upmarket. The competitive battlefield has shifted, and “relationship banking” is not enough to compete. Customers are integrating business solutions into their daily workflow, and banks risks being shut out altogether. Discover why the future isn't about being the best business bank – it's about being a relevant layer in the best business experience. Fintech Takes founder Alex Johnson and Velocita founder Barb MacLean join host JP Nicols to reveal how embedded lending is systematically dismantling banking relationships as Quickbooks, Square, Toast, and others integrate financial services directly into business workflows, and explore some options for how banks can respond.  https://youtu.be/FV5wUyhng6c?si=KpsHDtG0V4rRXSWt

#copwatcher #theslipperyslope #police #corruptionexposed #crime #leadership #albanese Anthony Albanese, and in fact this government, has been outrageously negligent in calling out antisemitism in Australia. Senator Lydia Thorpe and Senator Payman continue with rhetoric that only causes division and fans the flames of racism. Then the NSW Police Commissioner pats herself on the back for a recruitment influx.

Depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder are on the rise. Many say our mental health system is broken. In this episode, we delve deep into the realms of mental health with the esteemed therapist and author Clint Callahan. In this episode, we navigate through the treacherous waters of grief and anxiety and discover empowerment through various mental health strategies. Our discussion touches on the impact of societal changes, the broken mental health system in America, and the importance of setting and achieving personal goals through incremental changes.Memorable Quote:"Grief is the river that we walk in every day. Sometimes it's ankle-deep, sometimes it feels like it's up over our head." - Clint CallahanKey Takeaways:- Empathy is crucial in relationships but maintaining one's own mental health is equally important.- The grieving process is deeply personal and non-linear, and societal pressures to 'move on' should not dictate one's healing journey.- America's mental health system needs to rebrand PTSD as a physical injury to the brain to better address and understand trauma.- Achieving goals can be made easier by breaking them down into smaller, manageable actions and maintaining consistency with self-compassion.Chapters:-(0:00:02) - Improve Mental Health, Break People-Pleasing-(0:08:13) - Overcoming Anxiety and Coping With Grief-(0:12:50) - Overcoming Mental Health Challenges and Grief-(0:18:26) - Choosing the Heroic Path Through Grief-(0:22:39) - Grief, Cancer, and People Pleasing-(0:30:01) - Improving the Broken Mental Health System-(0:38:12) - Achieving Goals With Small ChangesConnect with Clint online and order his book: https://www.smallchangesbigimpact.net/wake-up-callLearn more about Dr. mOe Anderson's books, speaker coaching, keynotes, and workshops: https://www.drmoeanderson.comResources mentioned: Elisabeth Kubler Ross', M.D. book on Grief and Grieving : https://amzn.to/3Sa8eWv

What's the role of a music video today? In the 1980s, music videos flipped the industry thanks to MTV. Videos helped artists like Michael Jackson and Madonna become cultural icons. Record labels spent millions on music videos to promote their CD sales. Everyone was winning.Music videos don't hold the same power today in the streaming era. The budgets are smaller, but they still get made. To break it all down, I was joined by MIDiA Research analyst Tati Cirisano.

[00:00:19] Dan Runcie Intro: Hey, welcome to the Trapital Podcast. I'm your host and the founder of Trapital, Dan Runcie. This podcast is your place to gain insights from executives in music, media, entertainment, and more who are taking hip hop culture to the next level.[00:00:47] Dan Runcie Guest Intro: This episode is all about music videos and what their value prop is in the industry today. Back in the MTV era, the role of a music video was clear. This was your four minute opportunity to sell the hell out of your artist and for your label to promote its artist. Yet fans bought into the lifestyle, the identity, the persona of this person, and get them to go to Sam Goody, go to Tower Records and buy the albums.It was a marketing channel and it was a marketing channel that the record labels were continuing to put money into, and as the effectiveness continued to grow, they put more and more. Into that and that budget exploded. By the time we got to the mid to late 90s, we saw music video budgets hitting millions of dollars, and artists were doing out of this world things in these videos.But we slowly started to see those budgets slash. Went at the introduction of Napster and the CD era started to decline and the money was no longer flowing the way that it once was. But we started to see music videos take a new turn in the YouTube era. And now in the TikTok era, what is the ROI of a music video?What role do they serve in today's industry? And to break it down, we're enjoying by Tati Cirisano, an analyst at MIDia Research. He's been on the podcast a bunch of times, and this topic was right up her alley. So we talked a bit about that and more. Hope you enjoy this episode. Here's our breakdown on the role of music videos in today's industry.[00:02:16] Dan Runcie: All right. Today we are going to take a trip down memory lane to the wonderful World of Music videos, how this art form has evolved over the years. And I'm joined by Tati Cirisano from MIDiA Research, Tati welcome. [00:02:28] Tati Cirisano: Thank you. Good to beback once again. [00:02:31] Dan Runcie: Yeah, definitely. Can I start with a story? You mind if I start with a story with this one?  So, a couple weeks ago I was catching up with, CEO from one of the major record labels. This is someone that if you're probably listening to this household, if you're probably listening to this podcast, you probably know, and they run a label that is also a household name, and they were telling me about a conversation they had with an artist who is also a household name and how this artist wanted to have a million dollar plus seven plus figure, multi-million dollar music video budget because they wanted to make this big splash with what they were doing. And the CEO was like, no, I'm not giving you that. Like, what do you think this is? And for context, this is a artist who hasn't had a big hit since George Bush's first term. Let me say that roughly, just to give some context here. So,So it's been some time, but I also was a bit surprised because this is someone who seemed like they were up with the times in tech, and I remember asking the label exec, I was like, what's the deal? I thought this artist was with this. You see the movies they're making here, there, and this, that, and the third.And he was like, Hey. You would be surprised sometimes the egos get the best of these people and this is what they want. And that was a big inspiration for this conversation because I know you and I have talked about things like Spotify versus YouTube. YouTube, of course, having such a big focus in music videos and it's role.But that's what made me think it would be a great time to take a trip down memory lane and just revisit music videos themselves and. Going back to 1981, I feel like we could start music videos well before that. That obviously was there, but I think that was the origin place for a lot of what became known as the Modern Music Video and MTV itself.What's your take on how impactful MTV was? Because there was definitely a big shift of any music videos we saw before and any music videos we saw after.[00:04:36] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, I mean, you're right that like we could start this even further. Back in history, there were artists like the Beatles were making music films in like the 60s. David Bowie did the same but there wasn't really a place to showcase them the way that MTV, like, the one that MTV created. So I feel like it's not just that really iconic, amazing music videos, like those of, like Michael Jackson and, others made MTV a thing.I feel like there's an argument to be made that MTV like almost invented the music video or almost like made music videos a thing because having that audience there and having that like cultural impact is what led to bigger budgets for music videos and labels kind of focusing on this as an art form and a promotional piece.And that also led to more interesting creative videos. So I almost feel like MTV gets credit for like kind of inventing the video, the music video. [00:05:30] Dan Runcie: And inventing the video as a distinct art form that can live on its own in distinction from the music itself, because you mentioned The Beatles, you mentioned some of those other artists from that time. Music videos almost felt more like a utility. They were a commodity. Let's put the camera up while you're recording the tune, and maybe we'll add in some things.Maybe they'll add in some B-roll. And that's what it very much existed as for years. But then MTV takes it and makes it this unique thing. And we saw from the early days, whether it was Duran Duran, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Madonna, they were some of the early people that really made it their own thing.And you saw more of those movies and that's where MTV being able to capture the eyeballs there, the growth of cable as well, and them becoming one of the more popular channels there. You see this platform having this type of impact, you invest more dollars into it, and this becomes a much stronger marketing channel, which then commanded and justified them putting more and more money over time into these videos.[00:06:35] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, and speaking of Madonna, I think it also made music a lot more visual where music videos kind of opened this pathway for artists to become not just music icons, but kind of like style and fashion and cultural icons. there's so many videos that. Are just kind of like etched into everyone's brains and so many iconic outfits like people still dress up as, Britney Spears and the Baby One More Time Video and like all these other iconic ones. I think it, started making music more of a visual thing. And in turn, that also helped drive fandom around artists. Cuz if there's one thing I've learned in all the studying of, fandom that I've done and how it develops, it's pretty much always about context.It's always maybe listening to a song makes you a fan or doesn't make you a fan. It makes you a listener of the artist. But it's only once you know more about, who they are and like what their style is and what their aesthetic is and all these other things that you become a true fan. I think a lot of fandom was formed by sitting around the TV with friends and like watching a video for the first time on MTV.It was just a more captivating way to get to know an artist and have that context around them. [00:07:47] Dan Runcie: It's a big point, and that's something I definitely related with too. Growing up in that era, you were able to see and interact with those artists. If I had just heard these artists on the radio, it would've been a very different relationship. But I know that for a lot of people, that's how they gravitated to music.That's how they captured this, and that wasn't the way that it, I grew up for me, whether it was watching them on MTV, watching them on BET, That was the experience, and especially as things started to take off in the CD era, we saw more artists having success with it. We also started to see more pushback as well.I think it was around the early 90s, even the late eighties, this was around the time MTV was really kicking into gear. And the sales and numbers, everything was just up and to the right from a growth perspective. But we started to hear more critiques, some of the more traditionalists in the music industry started to say things like, these music videos are turning artists into one trick ponies.It's no longer about the music anymore. It's about making, Music video. And that's clearly resonating with some of the critiques. We now hear about TikTok as well. But it makes me think about the patterns that music often follows and when there is a new art form that does allow some type of growth, there's critiques, but those critiques also do stem from bit of this.If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. And we've seen this time and time again where a lot of those artists that had. Had critiques about MTV, whether it was Mariah Carey in the very early days, or even groups like REM, they would go on to make some of the most iconic music videos from the 90s as well.And I think we've seen the same with whether it's streaming or TikTok music videos was one of the things that I remember as having a bit of that cyclical pattern.[00:09:32] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, and there's so many trends in music videos that I feel like now we're play, we're seeing play out on TikTok or have already seen like there was sort of the dance, video craze of like, single ladies and crank that and PSY with Gangnam style.There were all these music videos that were about getting everyone to do a dance. And that was the way, that was like the promotional thing of if you got people to do that, then they would do it at the club when the song came on, they would do it in public. It would sort of become this bigger moment. And then that was kind of the first phase of TikTok when it started to rise in the 2020 when in early 2020 was like all dance videos.and even. I remember there were some videos that people, I know we haven't gotten to YouTube yet, but when YouTube came into the equation, people were uploading their own versions of videos and now that's like a pretty common thing. But yeah, it's interesting how all this stuff is cyclical and I think like video to the stuff about, the criticisms and like being one trick ponies and that kind of thing.I think that video has kind of, with music, always been about creating a cultural moment, aside from it just being another art form that I think artists delight in taking part in. Cause it's just another way to be creative. But I think it's, it's, about creating a cultural moment and creating a cultural moment in this day and age has morphed into this concept of virality, but it's always been about the same thing.Like viral in the 90s was, people wanting to be Britney Spears in that music video I was just talking about, and it kind of like being, this thing everyone was talking about for months. The same thing is happening now on TikTok. It's just happening faster. so yeah, I think that a lot of this stuff is cyclical and those criticisms, the point is that it's a promotional tool, so of course it's gonna lead to kind of like flash in the pan moments.So, Yeah, I have complicated feelings about those criticisms, I guess.[00:11:28] Dan Runcie: Yeah, I do too. I understand and I think that what we saw in the next decade, especially with some of those artists that came around and ended up leaning in, said a lot about where it is. And not every artist needed to do the MTV thing. Not every artist needed to lean into it all the way. Granted, I do think that most artists had music videos to an extent, but there was clearly a wave of where things were going.And right around the mid to late 90s, We saw the peak, at least from a budget perspective, of how much money was being put into music videos. And when you're talking about creating moments and in the pre-internet era, there wasn't necessarily as much virality, but the thing that got people locked in was how visually stunning or something that you've seen that's never been seen before.It's almost this bigger was better era. And then we get to points where in the mid 90s, Both Madonna and Michael and Janet Jackson are having music videos that aren't just one or 2 million. That screen music video was rumored to be around five to 7 million depending on the source you look at, in 1995 dollars, and that's that black and white video.They're shape shifting and all this stuff. And we continued to see this over the next couple of years. Of course, hype Williams and everything that he did from music videos was always unique, is always futuristic and with all of the elements that he had there. But it took a lot of money to make those music videos the same way with NSYNC and all those no strings attached music videos.Those were multimillion dollar music videos too. And it brings me back to even the things that they would spend money on. I'm thinking about, Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson, they had that once. It's gonna be a music video where you have the silver liquid that's like coming over. Both of them and Busta Rhymes took guitar lessons.Apparently that's what MTV's making the video thing had said in its, little popup that comes to the music video. But all of those things [00:13:24] Tati Cirisano: I missed those popups. [00:13:26] Dan Runcie: I know it was such a fun era, right? It was. It was such a, I guess a lot of that's been now disrupted by what we see on YouTube, which I know we'll get into in a minute, but that was such a moment.I think it spoke to, why people were willing to put in money at the time with just where things were with the era that was the marketing channel. Music videos were seen purely as an expense to be able to sell more CDs the same way that touring at the time was seen as an opportunity to try and sell more CDs.And the artists that sold the most often got the biggest budgets. And at the time, bigger was all often seen as better, especially when it came to the contemporary Pop X and that whole ecosystem of music, video culture, and everything around it made that take off the way it did.[00:14:13] Tati Cirisano: no, absolutely. I think the promotional power was worth it at the time. and like you said, you could justify spending that much on a music video if you were gonna make it back in CD sales if you were one of these superstars. So it made a lot of sense at the time. And then came master.[00:14:31] Dan Runcie: Yeah, that changed everything because and there was a fair amount of overlap there just with the way things were because so much of the industry was still focused where it was, I look at even the music video economy where there was a cyclical nature where because of the demand, The programs themselves or the channels themselves started launching programs dedicated to showcasing music videos, whether it was 106 and Park or TRL.They had different shows throughout the day, but all of them were some unique flavor of just trying to show you more music videos. And that's what was cool about it. You were able to have this whole ecosystem there, but then as you mentioned, Napster comes in, changes everything. The dollars are no longer flowing, and it.Is harder to justify spending millions of dollars on a music video if you can't confirm that that artist is gonna be able to do that. I think in a lot of ways, the peak was, we talked about them before in sync, Britney Spears, Nsync being able to sell, I think it was nearly 3 million units of an album the first week that it comes out.Like people skipping school in order to go buy, no strings attached. That just didn't happen any more to that level. I mean, we eventually saw examples like Adele and even this Taylor Swift album, but it wasn't the same way that it was then, and it shifted everything and I think it eventually Led to lower budgets.We still saw a lot of creativity. I still remember watching tons of music videos, especially in the mid to, especially in the mid two thousands. But it was definitely a different vibe cuz it was this pre and post Napster, but pre YouTube era where the budgets were still somewhat strong, but it wasn't quite what it was before.[00:16:13] Tati Cirisano: and there was this whole ecosystem before that, like, it's, kind of stunning me to remember how many different roles there were. Like music directors I feel like got a lot more shine because there were the VMAs and all these kind of things dedicated to them. But then there were the VJs of the time.and there were kind of like the. dancers and the other like characters in these videos, which kickstarted a lot of actors and actresses careers. Just being in these music videos, there was this idea of like the video vixen, which is a term I absolutely cringe to the n degree at, but like that was a role, like there was such an ecosystem around it. You're totally right and then it really so much since then. [00:16:54] Dan Runcie: When you think of the term video vixen, who's the first person that comes to mind?[00:16:58] Tati Cirisano: I think of people like Eva Mendez in the Miami video with Will Smith, I think of Scarlet Johansen. which one was she in? It was like some, [00:17:09] Dan Runcie: Justin Timberlake, what goes around comes around.[00:17:11] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, there were so many, I don't know. Alicia Silverstone I know was in a couple of music videos. Kim Kardashian was in Fallout boy, thanks for the Memories, which was a bit later and like she was already famous. But like that remembering that blows my mind. Like there were just so many of these examples. I don't know. [00:17:27] Dan Runcie: Yeah, there's a few that comes to mind. I think about someone like Vida Guerrera, like she was always in a bunch of them. Even male video vixen's too. I'm thinking [00:17:37] Tati Cirisano: Yeah. [00:17:38] Dan Runcie: Beckford and, Toni Braxton's Unbreak my heart, in that one. And then Tyrese and, what music video is that was that angel of mine with Monica.So you definitely had 'em back and forth. Even the artists themselves sometimes ended up being vixens and other ones. Terrence Howard was in a bunch of 'em. But I think that this too, it talks about just how music was a launchpad, right? You mentioned the VJs earlier. So many of these VJs started as those types of personalities, but then they went on to go do other things.I mean, Carson Daley is a media personality now doing his own thing. He got his roots in TRL. I feel like, aJ from 106 and Park still does media things suspense. Terrence Jay definitely does as well. So you see those, but you also saw it on the music video side too, where directors like Spike Jones is now doing, you know, Hollywood movies. Look at the Daniels, they directed turn down for what? the little John's music video, and then they just directed and won an Oscar for Best Picture and best Director with everything everywhere, all at once. So music continues to be a launchpad in [00:18:45] Tati Cirisano: What a pivot. Turn Down for What to Everything Everywhere All At Once.[00:18:50] Dan Runcie: Yeah, never would've guessed that one, never would've guessed that one. And I think with that, we should probably start now talking about the YouTube era because things took another turn here. You mentioned a little bit of this earlier where user-generated videos started to take off, but I think the success of YouTube started to tell people that, Hey, The things that are going viral and getting attention.It isn't just using the most amount of money possible to see outta this world stuff. As cool as it was to see Hype Williams creating action figures of Missy Elliot running around in space, we don't necessarily need to see that much out of this world to do it. It can be Soulja boy doing his type of dance and then having all this other user generated content on Crank that Batman, crank, that Spider-Man, crank that whoever, and we saw that time and time again.So I think YouTube, and this was before any of the licensing deals came. The fact that crank that blew up became the number one single in the country stuck out in a way. And I think that led to another evolution of what people were willing to spend money on and how they thought about the promotion of music videos as well.[00:19:59] Tati Cirisano: Totally like remember the okay go music video with the treadmills. Like remember how cool we all thought that was? I mean, I'll speak for myself, but like it's like funny to think about now. That was such a big deal. That they made this like really low budget video, just kind of like running around on treadmills.And I think that's the other thing that's interesting about YouTube is, so pre MTV, there was like not really any place to showcase music videos. Then there was this channel for it, but it was really limited to the major label signed artists. And then you got to YouTube where there wasn't any gatekeeping around music videos anymore.Anything could be uploaded and anything could be played. And there was just less of that gatekeeping. But then the flip side of that is it also means that it's a lot harder to stand out. And so YouTube has, kind of made any one of those videos a bit less impactful for that reason. Over time, I think, and that gets back to like the fragmentation that, you know, I love to talk about.[00:20:57] Dan Runcie: It's fascinating because I think that each time something goes viral or each time something breaks out on YouTube, You do get a lot of copycat behavior. You see a moment where things are happening. It isn't always rational, but that's kind of the beauty of it. And then you go on to something else. I was looking at things talking about the 10 year anniversary of Harlem Shake, of that whole video wave where people were doing all those crazy dances.The music then stops, and then a couple years later we saw Black Beatles and that saw reach a whole nother level because of the freeze challenge thing that people were doing. And that was a whole nother culture with it because again, we started to see less flashiness of them trying to do particular things.But once the licensing came, music videos then became revenue generating tools. On their own and it was no longer necessarily just about trying to have a song get retired on the charts, whether it was on a 106 and Park and TRL there became the subculture of how can we get this music video to hit this?Number of streams or this hit this number of views. And I know we start to see this now more where most of the services are publicly sharing how many streams and views their songs and music videos have. But I feel like we started to see this on YouTube first, and a lot of the chatter that you would once see started to live in the comments section.And you started to see these subcultures of fans that would gravitate and connect to songs in that way. And I felt like that was something that was unique.[00:22:29] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, and there were a lot music videos, over the past, like five years, over the past 10 years, like the single ladies video and like Childish Gambino with this is America. And even like more recently, like the Kendrick Lamar video with like the AI generated faces, I forget which song that [00:22:46] Dan Runcie: Oh yeah, the hard part five.[00:22:47] Tati Cirisano: Yes. But you're totally right that rather than the go, the virality of a music video. Just being about driving streams. they also, those videos also became revenue generated themselves. So going viral on YouTube, having a video that everybody was gonna be anxious to watch, was a big deal for that.And there, I feel like there were kind of less so today, but like pre TikTok in like 2016 to like 2020. It kind of feels like there was a bit of a mini revival of like, Music videos being this bigger promotional tool, like, do you remember all the promotion around the Thank you Next video for Ariana Grande?That was nuts, like, we were all waiting weeks for that video to come out and there was so much, conversation about it and so many clips and so many interviews in the press and I feel like there was kind of a moment before TikTok came around when music videos were once again, kind of this really big promotional tool and way to kind of break through the noise and generate revenue.[00:23:47] Dan Runcie: With Thank you, next. That was the one where they spoofed mean girls, right?[00:23:51] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, and like a bunch of other of those types of movies, like there was like a clueless scene in it. I feel like there [00:23:57] Dan Runcie: Oh yeah, yeah. [00:23:57] Tati Cirisano: I feel like there were a bunch, maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but I think they, they did that with like a bunch of different, like 90s and two thousands movies. And there were so many cameos. There were so many cameos. [00:24:08] Dan Runcie: Oh yeah, that's right. It did. It did. And I think a few of those music videos, you mentioned Salish Gambino as well. He's clearly someone that I think is calculated and knows what he's doing from a communication perspective, but with that video, it wasn't even necessarily about how much money was spent on this or something. It was more so here's this timely thing and there was a shock value that was linked to it, and I know that music videos have always had a bit of, have always had shock value, especially since the MTV area era think specifically about an artist like Madonna and then even Britney later on that leaned into this.But we started to see artists lean, lean into it even more from a. political standpoint, making statements and trying to say things that they wouldn't otherwise have said. And even thinking about artists like Joyner Lucas who had someone that was wearing a Make America Great again hat in their music video to then show that as some type of hypothetical conversation of what it could be like to talk to people that may think differently.I may be misremembering parts of the music video, but we started to see more of that integrate where. That then stems from how flexible this art form can be. You can have a music video like wp, which I do think was one of the more recent, you know, TikTok era music videos that created a moment. You could have them have these standalone things as well. [00:25:29] Tati Cirisano: Mm-hmm. That's exactly what I mean with how music videos give you so much more context like it's just another way for the artist to tell their story and express themselves. It's just another avenue for that, and there's so many different ways to do that. It is such a flexible art form. [00:25:44] Dan Runcie: Yeah, definitely. I have a few stats here that I think would be helpful just for some context setting. As we mentioned earlier, we talked about music video budgets in the late 90s and even the early two thousands where, top artists getting million dollars plus for their music video wasn't uncommon.But here, let me share some numbers. Cardi B had shared some self-reported public numbers of things she spent on music videos just over the years. This was from two years ago, so I'm sure she's done stuff then. But Bodak Yellow, that was the music videos that they had done. That one in Dubai, that was $15,000.Granted, she was much smaller at the time. People likely weren't charging her as much, but she did that for just $15,000 and then, Bar Cardi, that was $150,000. The money music video, which did look like a pretty elaborate and not cheap music video. That was 400,000, please Me. The one that she did with Bruno Mars, that was 900,000 and then WAP was a million dollars.But those are two artists coming together, and that was also another expensive looking music video with a bunch of cameos as well. So even WAP, something that I would consider on the highest degree. Of what, major record label might be willing to spend. Even that was just a million dollars or compared to how much more they were willing to spend a couple decades before.[00:27:02] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, yeah, I mean that, that kind of doesn't surprise me. Like I feel like the ROI for music videos has just gone down a lot and it just doesn't make sense to spend much more than that on a music video. Like you can still make a splash, it can still be, a good promotional tool. And a way to, generate more revenue, but they don't tend to last as long as they used to, and it's just really hard to get people's attention on one thing these days.I think short form is also being prioritized or that's kind of the sense that I'm getting and yeah, it doesn't totally surprise me, does it? What do you think about those numbers? [00:27:44] Dan Runcie: It doesn't surprise me either because of where so much music is consumed and how things go viral. But it is a bit interesting when I think about music videos as a visual art form and what tracks and what resonates compared to other forms of entertainment where I do feel like we've continued to see bigger and bigger com, bigger and better, at least from the money that's put into these productions for major film studios, for instance, what they're putting into superhero films, what they put into Fast and Furious films, or even what James Cameron had put into Avatar. Spending 300 million, not even on the marketing, just on the budget for these movies isn't even unheard of now. So there's clearly an attraction of doing that, even if it is one of these tent pole franchise movies, even for some of the things that have gone straight to video.But that didn't necessarily happen in the same way in music videos. It started to pull. We obviously know that the industry was hit harder than others, so it pulled back. But even as the industry continued to grow, and I think, I mean, I know now the numbers unadjusted for inflation have the highest, at least revenue on the recorded side.Bigger hasn't necessarily translated to better in that perspective. Even if you look at video games, the graphics, all the things that are stunning are the things that we continue to see. And granted in, video games, we've seen a few outliers, like when Nintendo, we blew up. Clearly that wasn't a graphics thing, but they were tapping into something that Xbox and PlayStation weren't at the time.But in music videos, the bigger, better graphics of artists doing crazy things just didn't resonate in the same way, the only music video I can think of is, Ed Sheeran, what's that music video he did? I think he's kind of floating around and stuff and moving. I think it's bad habits. But one of those, I think that's probably the most recent one, but even that one I don't think is like that expensive of a music video, but we just haven't seen better.I'm thinking back to in the 90s. Yeah, I mentioned the Hype Williams music videos or even, you know, Backstreet Boys like moving around in space and larger than life. We just haven't seen that translate in that same way in music videos. [00:29:51] Tati Cirisano: Yeah. Well the other thing that you just that just made me think of when you mentioned film is how do I put this? Like album promo cycles these days are so much less premeditated, right? It's more about putting songs out and seeing how people react, and then deciding which ones to push forward as a single, then deciding what to put music, video resources behind.So I think that the other difference with music versus something like film and TV is things are just getting decided on the fly. Like a song goes viral and then you're like, okay, now we're gonna make a video for this song, but you wouldn't decide that until you saw how the songs were performing. So I think that that's a big, big factor in it as well. But we've also seen some good, like low but lower budget music videos. Like I loved the Ice Spice Pink Panther for boys a Liar. And it was literally just them like hanging out on a fire escape. And I was like, this is perfect. So I think we've also seen like some good lower budget ones come out of this as well.But yeah, definitely doesn't feel like the same, you know, spending all this money on like these crazy graphics and like whatever it is, has as much of an impact or is, as worth it as it might be in film. [00:31:04] Dan Runcie: I feel like we've seen a few outliers here or there in music. Kanye West's music videos, especially in that, let's say 2007 to 2015, 16 range, it seemed like there was still a good amount of money that was being put into those. And even some of the extended ones that, that short form video, the short form film version of Runaway, still felt like a pretty expensive music video.And I'm pretty sure Hype Williams directed that. But I also wonder is. Is the definition of what we consider music video, and the expansion of that. Also shifting what people are putting money into and how it's categorized. And by that I'm talking about some of these documentaries that have come out and what bucket we put those in.I look at something like when Taylor Swift had recorded those pond sessions after the folklore evermore albums had come out. She essentially did an entire visual album of her at this pond or wherever. She wasn't that like Cottage and Sells and sold that to Disney, and then Disney then streams and puts that out and it's an hour or two hours or however long it is.Beyonce is recording her Coachella performance and then sells that to Netflix, and then Netflix puts that out. And you're essentially watching an alternate version of a Beyonce music video that is just over this two hour or two hour 15 minutes, however long it is. But when I think about that, I think about these visual albums and just how so many of them have spanned in, had different forms and ways they've gone about it. Is that where some of these more expensive projects are going? Is that where some of the more expensive dollars are going when looking at video as it relates to music, as opposed to just this music video bucket that we may have put it in?[00:32:53] Tati Cirisano: I think so, and I think I would also put in that category like the more. Like the short films that our music videos. And that's something that artists have been doing forever. But I mean, like, I don't know, like the Taylor Swift All Too Well video and even like, I feel like the SZA Kill Bill video was like longer than the song and like had, a lot of artists are starting to add more of a story and create more of like a short film. And I think part of that is a way to like just stand out from all the other music videos and actually grab people's attention because you are really telling a story, you're taking it to the next level. And even having parts where like the song isn't even playing, and I think you're probably right, that more of the budget that used to go to music videos, Is now going more sparingly to a few of those types of projects for the bigger artists. Whereas, l ike for what was traditionally a music video is now becoming lyric videos or sort of like these animated videos that I've seen come up that are so much cheaper to produce and often also involve AI generation, which is, an area that I feel like we haven't really touched on in all of the discourse about AI and music is like AI for music videos.And maybe that will end up lowering the cost to making these really fantastic crazy concepts that we used to see that used to cost 7 million. And now, well you can click a button. So I don't know, maybe we'll see like a reversal of what, of everything we're talking about, of like music videos kind of shrinking and instead becoming bigger. But yeah, I think you're right.[00:34:28] Dan Runcie: The point that you mentioned about music videos and just the storytelling, adding in the short film piece of it. I don't know if he was the first, but Michael Jackson Thriller is the one that comes to mind there, just with how that became this extended film. But again, not everyone was getting that much budgeter opportunity to do that in that way.Michael Jackson had built up the track record in order to make that happen, and then as you see, we continue to see that now with Taylor and others. I'm glad you mentioned the piece around lyric videos and AI, because lyric videos have long been the low-hanging fruit. Of YouTube, especially for artists.Yes, it's great to have your own music video, but sometimes people don't want that. They just wanna be able to have it there playing and Sure from a purely practical perspective, you could tell yourself. They can go listen to that and Spotify or they can just go listen to the audio version. That's what they want, but not necessarily.There are creative and unique things that you can do with music videos. It doesn't always have to be the text scrolling across the same way it would on a karaoke screen or something like that. Artists have had unique ways to go about it, and AI music videos isn't even necessarily something I necessarily thought of, but what's holding it back? You look at the same way that the images went viral of the Pope in, you know, wearing the bomber jacket or whatever it was. The same thing can happen with the music video. And when I'm thinking about this, I'm thinking again about like how we started this conversation around where some of the critiques are that people have had with music videos when they first came out. Some of the critiques, we hear now about this more user generated era of music, videos and content as well. The path and the journey. It seems that once music gets too derivative in some ways, two things happen. One, it expands and grows the pie for the overall industry, which is good because we wanna be able to see the impact in music.We wanna be able to see it grow. That's always gonna naturally attract detractors that wanna see the thing in the pure form, but nothing stopping them from seeing the thing in the pure form. But we do wanna be able to see the growth in evolution there. And AI is the next version of this where, what is the core piece that you have, whether it's the artist and the music that the rights holders have the control and ownership of, but whether it's music, video, or just other ways to do it, what are the ways that that can be unlocked? And if that can be done in a great way, that's where the potential comes.That's where you unlock all of the opportunity in the industry. And who knows, like you said, it doesn't even need to be as expensive as it was, but you're giving people the opportunity to do something unique. [00:37:06] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, and speaking of the SZA one, I don't know if this is something that she planned or if it's just something she's encouraged, but there's a whole culture on TikTok of fans making their own SZA music videos. Not copying the ones that have already been created, but making their own. And she'll repost them and comments on them and like talk about the ones that are her favorites. And that whole thing is really fascinating to me. And it even like brings me back to the lyric videos because the whole reason that the music industry started to realize, oh, we should release these music videos, was because fans were already making them and it was just revenue that the industry wasn't, and eyeballs that the industry wasn't capturing.So lyric videos were just a way to kind of formalize that, and I think we're seeing that in so many ways on TikTok with sped up songs that fans uploaded and then record labels formalized. So I don't really know where I'm going with this with music videos, but I feel like there's a connection there of like, How, video could potentially enter more of that. I mean, music videos could potentially enter more of that, UGC space. But the other thing I wanted to bring up before I forget, is that I did grab some stats from our research at MIDia about, both of those things. So just for context here. 59% of global consumers use YouTube to watch music videos weekly. And then we had another question where we asked how do you engage with music artists beyond listening to their music? And 35% of consumers said they watch lyric videos. and that's from our Q4 22 consumer survey and our Q1 23 respectively. So, both arepretty high. [00:38:41] Dan Runcie: Yeah, I would say so. I wonder for some artists, the numbers that they've had for the music videos and lyric videos are probably closer than they think, right? And sometimes a lot of it just depends on what you're in the mood for. Sometimes, there's just so many more opportunities to have a passive thing in the background, and sometimes I've done it myself without even thinking, I think what is the user experience that then causes me to go to a lyric video, even when I know the music video is there. And most of the time it's when I wanna have the thing in the background. Maybe I'll go to it, but I don't necessarily wanna stare at the screen for the next few minutes and it makes perfect sense and there's so many more use cases for that.So I wouldn't be surprised if for certain artists, they both serve a purpose, but they might actually be making more from the respective lyric song. And I think when you just think about it overall, the Lyric song does enable you to have your entire album up on the streaming services guy, I guess you could technically have a few versions where I've seen some artists have the music video, they have the lyric video, and then they just have the still with the cover art of the album there.So you have three different options and that could all be, revenue that goes back to the artist and the rights solar.[00:39:53] Tati Cirisano: Mm-hmm. There's also this interesting idea of like how all these things kind of play together. Like going back to the episode that we did on, that was about YouTube and, kind of contrasting these short form video platforms and how YouTube's whole pitch is that they're able to unite long form and short form so that, you know, there isn't that gap where people watch a TikTok video about, and then they don't actually go in and learn more about the artists. So, I don't know. I think there's something interesting there with YouTube being the main place where people watch music videos. The only, like the main place, I won't say the only. And also having the short form video platform. So I think that is a really strong proposition to be able to kind of marry the two. [00:40:35] Dan Runcie: Here's a question for you similar to that I actually don't know the answer to this myself, but thinking about how like audio and music itself, we see how music has adapted over time based on the mode and the medium that it is, whether it's CDs and streaming. And then we see the impact of TikTok and everything else.And music videos we've seen similar where we knew what a an MTV era music video looked like, especially if it was a music video that's trying to be on TRL. There's almost a certain formula that you saw to it. And we also see now what a TikTok video can look like where you see the types of dances and you see the way that the music video is made almost in a way to make it easily be replicated, whether it's a Drake, Lizzo, Doja Cat, Cardi B, plenty people have done this.Do you think this exists as well with YouTube? Was there a certain type of music video that stands out to you, is Yes. This is a YouTube music video. This is a music video that personifies the YouTube era of music videos.[00:41:38] Tati Cirisano: I love that question. that's a really good question.[00:41:42] Dan Runcie: As I'm thinking about it, there's one person that did come to mind. NBA Young Boy is a person that I do think speaks to the YouTube era of music videos because he approaches this the same way that. Someone like Mr. Beast approaches videos. There is a formula there, he has his hook, he has the things.There is a bit of the storytelling dynamic of what he is trying to do, or the challenge that they're trying to overcome, and then they do the thing. But it's definitely told in this way that has the hook and the elements that you naturally see. In YouTube and the way that the font for the name of the music video scrolls up, that is very much the formula.How quick it is for the beat to start. All those types of things, I think speak a lot to the YouTube era.[00:42:27] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, I also think, I'm thinking of artists who have sort of played into meme culture with their videos, like Drake has kind of done that. Remember how meme'd the Hotline Bling video was like. Even like the video for, what's that song you have with Justin Bieber? Pop Star was like, kind of playing into like the stereotypes about them in a way.Like I think artists like them who have sort of played into internet culture in their videos are maybe part of that YouTube era. Charli XCX, the boys video felt very YouTube, Yeah, I would say things like that. And then also videos that invited user participation, like the dance video craze, where it was kind of intended to get you to make your own version.And that was kind of like the early TikTok was being YouTube. So, yeah, that's a great question. [00:43:22] Dan Runcie: Yeah, and I think we saw some of this with Instagram as well, because I think about Drake in my Feelings. That was another one where there was clearly a Instagramable place where he's saying, please repeat this, because TikTok really wasn't blowing up the way that it was then, but he clearly made this video leading into that.And if anything, I think that the video came after we saw the viral instagram clips of, what was that guy? Shaggy that was doing the dances for that music video and then Danny Le as well. So there were a few people that had done that.[00:43:55] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, no, the correlation is so fascinating. I could do a whole nother podcast on how Drake lyrics invented Instagram captions, but we'll save that.[00:44:09] Dan Runcie: And no, we will definitely table that one. And I think as. Yeah. No. I have a few thoughts on that one, but as I think about this, I feel like a good way to, to close this one out is thinking about the ROI of these videos. And there's a number of ways to look at it, but with the way that a video is now, what do you think the best way is to measure the ROI?Because of course there's the hard dollars that the video could generate, the impact, but what's your take on that? [00:44:36] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, that's a good question. I mean, aside from the things like, aside from the things that are just like hard views and streams, I think it's also about cultural impact, which is kind of impossible to measure. it's about UGC, like how many videos was. I don't know, how many people kind of created their own version or did the dance in the music video, wherever it is.I guess that kind of depends on the video, but I think there's like some element of like creations related to the video that are part of it. and then did anyone dress up for Halloween as that music video? That's the biggest measure of cultural impact.[00:45:18] Dan Runcie: Like Lil Nas X dressing up as Ice Spice [00:45:21] Tati Cirisano: Yes. Yes. And I'm sure there were people that dressed up as Drake in the hotline bling video. the scene that that came out. So, look at Halloween costume sales, all you label executives. No, I don't know it's a really hard question to answer, but I think it's, mix of those and it's increasingly about, how fans are kind of like recreating their own versions of things. [00:45:42] Dan Runcie: Because there's a clear need to, water creates something that creates shock value, but you can't do those moments automatically cuz sometimes randomly it's gun just being gunna and then, Rihanna dresses up like him for her Halloween costume in like multiple settings and stuff, and it's like, oh, okay.I guess this is a thing. Like I don't think he knew that he was putting a fit out there, but you can't always guarantee that that's what's gonna come out, right? You have artists like Da Baby that I think have always tried to do stunty things to get cloud out there, but I don't know if, I've never necessarily seen people try to dress up like him for Halloween in that way.But that's a good one, and I think at first I was like thinking you're saying it in jest, but it's a hundred percent true. Like how are you able to capture zeitgeist? And I think that checking Instagram tags especially, or hashtags or just trending topics Twitter can tell you. Yeah. definitely. [00:46:36] Tati Cirisano: Well, many gift uses did you get of a clip from the music video?[00:46:41] Dan Runcie: Exactly. Or are people creating gifts of you in some type of way? [00:46:45] Tati Cirisano: Exactly. [00:46:46] Dan Runcie: Definitely. Well, Tati, this was fun. We have a couple of topics that I know we'll dig into eventually on this, but before we let you go, what are some things that you're digging into? What should the travel listeners stay looking out for?[00:46:59] Tati Cirisano: Yeah, that's a good question, let me think. So many things. I mean, we have a new report at MIDia that'll be out next month, for clients that's about live music consumers. We did a big survey, with bands in town asking people about their attitudes towards ticket prices and all sorts of things like that. So if you're listening and you're client of ours, look out for that. If you're not and you're interested in it, feel free to reach out. but yeah, that's the thing that I'm working on a lot right now and very excited about. [00:47:27] Dan Runcie: Nice. All right. We'll stay looking out for that. Thank you. [00:47:31] Tati Cirisano: Awesome. Thanks Dan.[00:47:32] Dan Runcie Outro: If you enjoyed this podcast, go ahead and share it with a friend.

Part of it is online and part is in-person. 30:53 How do you experience this resource in your body? 36:27 Intro Guy 0:00 Your journey has been an interesting one up to hear you've questioned so much more than those around you. You've even questioned yourself as to how you could have grown into these thoughts. Am I crazy? When did I begin to think differently? Why do people in general, you're so limited thought process Rest assured, you are not alone. The world is slowly waking up to what you already know inside yet can't quite verbalize. Welcome to the spiritual dough podcast, the show that answers the question you never even knew to ask, but knew the answers to questions about you this world the people in it? Most importantly, how do I proceed? Now moving forward? We don't even have all the answers, but we sure do love living in the question. Time for another hit of spiritual dub with your host, Brandon Handley. Let's get right into today's episode. Brandon Handley 0:42 Hey there spiritual dope. I'm on here today with Giten Tonkov who is the founder and director of biodynamic breathwork and trauma release Institute. He's a co founder and director of the integral body Institute in Poland and lead facilitator in BV T ri screenings, I came across Gaetan by by way of trying to learn more about breathwork and came across his book, which was feel to heal releasing trauma through body awareness. And I chased them all around the world, asking him to come on to the podcast, Keaton, thank you for being on here today. So, you know, let's talk a little bit about, I think, just your work as it pertains to breathwork. And your work is multiple disciplines involved in it. And I believe you've got what we call six pillars in your that illustrate the modalities, would you mind sharing that with the audience, and we dig a little bit into it from there. Giten Tonkov 1:53 Absolutely. So biodynamic breathwork is a multi modal approach, it brings together the six elements. The first one is deep connected, breathing, conscious, connected breathing. And the way that we use the breath is to activate our sympathetic response, or D activate the sympathetic response that to bring into parasympathetic activation. So breath is used in many different ways in this modality. So when we're beginning to go into a deeper breath, we are activating the system, and then the charge that's stuck in the body has a chance to to complete the interrupted response. So this is the first element, the element of breath, the second element is movement, the movement is kind of ingrained into breath. So when we're fully deeply breathing, there is so much movement already happening in our body of this diaphragm moving, there's lungs expanding, contracting, there is all auxiliary muscles that assist in the breathing are involved. So we take that internal movement that's already happening in our physical body and express it through the outward movement, a lot of it is on the winding of the spine. So this way, we are actually engaging the fascia, the deep core tissues as well to release to support the release of tension that's at the core of the body that's related to past traumatic event. The next element is the element of touch. And touch is used as in a form of body work, as well as in the form of resourcing to assist in the session. So touch can support the release of tension. And touch can bring the person back into the deeper connection with themselves. So there's ways that we use touch in the, in the in person workshops when we do hands on assist, and there's also self touch that's involved in the online setting. So it's very important element is touch. So the next element is sound. So we have breath, movement, touch and sound, the sound is used in the form of our own voice, as well as external sound in the form of music that supports the session that supports and bringing up emotion as well as live instruments that actually impact the body through the sound healing the vibration of the sound when it enters the body. It's of course it impacts ourselves. But the most powerful musical instrument we have is our own voice. So the voice really is reports that layers of release and expression, as well as letting go, as well as the vibration of the sound is healing from the inside out. So if you have the elements of breath, movement type sound, this combination supports the emergence of the next element, which is emotional expression. When we begin to release the tension in our physical body, the emotional charge that lives in that physical tension begins to come up to the surface. So moving those stuck emotions that are related to past unresolved experiences to past traumas, this is the key to creating more freedom in the body, more relaxation in the body. So we are moving through all these different various elements, breath movement, sound, tai chi, emotional expression, to support the emergence of silence, the last element is the element of meditation. So when we are clearing ourselves from past trauma, from busy mind, we are completing interrupted impulses, which trauma is actually in its essence, interrupted impulses that are stuck in the physical body. So we are coming into a place of silence, which is naturally emergent. So this gives us an opportunity to look at ourselves objectively, to allow anything that needs to still complete, to compete in the physical body. So this kind of in a nutshell, the six elements of biodynamic breathwork Brandon Handley 6:49 I love, I love this, because if you take a look at your history, you know, you started with, you know, kind of hands on doing massage therapy, you joined a couple of breathwork sessions if I recall correctly, you would attended an Osho event as a facilitator as a translator for somebody who was Russian there. And that was like one of your first taste to that and then you you figured out ways to incorporate that in other modalities and you put these all together for one complete and cohesive kind of packaging system. So I think that that's that's super interesting one of the things that I really need to go ahead get getting Giten Tonkov 7:54 I was gonna say it's a 20 Brandon Handley 7:55 years. And this is this isn't something that you just came up with either as I believe, right around 20 years of active work on this is that correct system? Giten Tonkov 8:22 Yes, it's around 20 years of working with these modalities and experimenting, seeing what works, what doesn't work, how they support each other. Brandon Handley 8:32 And one of the things that I think that you found was really were was the idea and the concept. Maybe not you but you stumbled on it in one area, it's the seven bands of tension. Right? Could you talk to us a little bit about this seven bands of tension and how they might even aligned to the chakra system? Were was the idea and the concept? Maybe seven bands of 10 Right. Talk about this? Giten Tonkov 9:03 Chakra. Yes. So the seven belts of tension is the whole western body oriented psychology is actually rooted in the concept of Reichian approach which German therapist will Unbreak who was student contemporary of Freud found that the the past traumatic event manglik mainly developmental trauma is distributed in the form of tension in the body in we're in seven bands of tension. And sure enough of these seven Bell bends of tension are more or less in exactly the same areas of the chakra system. But the way that we work in the seven belts of tension, it's actually the biodynamic breathwork is it is a body oriented therapy. So we took that as, as a foundation, the working with the, with the distribution of physical tension in the in the body, and how these bands hold that developmental trauma effects in our physical body. So their ocular belt of tension that is involves the eyes, the forehead, the top of the head. And then we move down into the oral belt of tension with you, which is a jaw and the mouth and the back of the head. And then moving down into cervical, which is our throat expression and creativity also blocking our expression through our throat is very common, then moving down into a thoracic belt, which includes the chest, the heart, the lungs, this, this kind of armoring that we build to protect our heart, from feeling pain, pretty much this is this, all of these belts are in essence have formed for us to feel protected from feeling emotional pain, pretty much. So this in essence, creates this physical armoring that she has right talked about a lot and this physical armoring blocks the flow of energy through our our physical body. So moving down through the through the body, under the thoracic belt of tension is diaphragmatic belt, which includes our diaphragm, our ribcage. And of course, the movement of the diaphragm is very important. The big range of movement of the diaphragm is important because it controls the flow of impulses from the sex to the heart. So as well as how intensely we feel, the more you want to block your feelings, the shallower you will breathe. So that diminishes the movement of the diaphragm and brings the tension around the ribcage, of course. And then moving down into the belly, we have abdominal belt of tension, which includes the abdomen, all the organs, it houses as well as the lower back. And of course, the base is our pelvis, our sex organs, our reproductive organs, and of course, our legs, which is all involved in the in this belt of tension. So the theory behind the Reich's formation of personality structures that the Sexual Energy wants to arise from the pelvis it wants to move up into the belly into the heart and the flow higher turned into expression. But we are conditioned to block these impulses. And because these impulses are blocked, for whatever reason, the physical tension is created. And then after some years, this physical tension is settled in the body in this form. So what we do with biodynamic breath work, we approach working with these belts of tension in very specific order to support the release of tension, the emotion that they this tension holds, as well as supporting the flow of natural impulses through the physical body. In this way we complete the interrupted impulses and heal from developmental trauma as well as any form of trauma. It could be a shock trauma, it could be acute traumas. So this approach works pretty much for a wide variety of Brandon Handley 13:58 offers is great, you've got all the you know what I think is really cool. First of all, I'm thank you for walking through the the belts attention. It's, it aligns so closely to the chakra system, and you know, Eastern medicine and the way they look at the body, that I was pretty shocked to find that and your book. The other thing that I thought that was really neat in your book is that even the very beginning talks about what you're talking about, right? Is this this tension that gets trapped in our bodies, and how animals have a natural release system. And humans, I guess, we tend to do to whatever conditioning, we're kind of blocking and trapping this energy within us. Can you talk a little bit about that? And like what would be Have you found what a natural release system may be for humans if we go through all of this, biodynamic, you know, work and we get the tension releases? What is a natural release for us? Giten Tonkov 15:17 Well, we are in like all mammals are programmed to release the tension in more or less the same way to release the shock to release the trauma and more or less the same way by completing the response that that naturally is released in the term into in time of the traumatic event. But we are as humans are the only ones that learn to interrupt that natural impulse and the impulse is to shake to tremor. So when we work with biodynamic breathwork, we actually support the practitioner, the participants to complete the interrupted response to tremor, a lot of the times the interrupted response comes in tremoring. And other times it comes in the movement in, Brandon Handley 16:15 so we're talking, I lost you like, right around, I guess, you know, some of the tremoring and allowing that movement to complete to run through its motions. And that would be the natural thing. Whereas we typically we've been trained to kind of interrupt that. Giten Tonkov 16:31 So we we somehow, as humans interrupt that natural response for the body to complete the activation. And the key for our work is to support this natural response to complete the activation to come back. Because it's still there, no matter how long the activation has been interrupted in the body, our body looks for chances to complete it. And once our body is given that chance, it will take it. So pretty much what we provide in the session is the chance for our physical body to complete the activation, therefore, move in out of living as a traumatized individual. Brandon Handley 17:24 So releasing all that stored trauma in the body, right, letting that energy dissipate, right, you're allowing for for, it's kind of like coming back, and just, you know, turning the machine back on to allow for it to turn the faucet back on or whatever, it just allows for that energy to flow out. Yeah, Giten Tonkov 17:43 pretty much, pretty much yes, it's the the response. Like I said, no matter how long it's been stuck in the body, it's, it's still there. And it's settled in the form of change, which is pretty much Brahma is interrupted response. If the response is that the moment of the traumatic event, there is no trauma, we move through it. But the fight or flight is, is that's been interrupted, that turns into freeze, which is still has fight or flight running under the freeze. So this is the way to work with with this modality like any other trauma oriented modality. Brandon Handley 18:34 I love it. And then one of the things that you talk about is resourcing in the book and you brought it up today. Let's know a little bit more about that. I think I got a little bit confused, especially like if we're trying to self resource in a breath working space, can you bring it talk us through what resourcing is and what that would look like in a full in person session as well as a you know, at home session. Giten Tonkov 19:02 So, resource is pretty much based on the concept that we use Pendulo ation within the session ventilation meaning that we move between activation, we create the support the activation in the body, that kind of so we have something to work with. And then after sustaining this activation for a certain amount of time, as long as the person is able to be with this activation without feeling overwhelmed. After a while we move the attention back to the place in the body which feels safe and connected which is called internal resource which For this we use the concept of felt sense. So we sense our physicality without attaching much meaning to it. We just look for physical sensations that feel comfortable this as a resource, so we have internal resource which can be located within the physical body. And we have external resource, which is something from outside of ourselves that can be also translated into how it affects us physically. So, in the use of this, of the resources gives an opportunity to feel safe within the session. So we're not going into a place where we feel overcharged or overstimulated, so we can go through the process of releasing without feeling overwhelmed. This is the reason for using a resource. And it's very, it's a very effective way to release trauma because usually, trauma means that we are disconnecting from our physical sensations, it's too much to experience, a lot of the times they're painful. So we disconnect from physicality. So now we're providing an opportunity to come back into feeling our physical bodies in safety. So resource provides that. Could you Brandon Handley 21:21 give me an example of like, what some people might use as an outside resource? Giten Tonkov 21:26 Nature is a fantastic external resource, going into a tree being with the tree, touching a tree, getting your feet, in the sand or on the ground, feeling how that actually feels for you. A memory from the past where you can remember yourself, feeling very good physically. Pat's friends saw their people are amazing, external resources. So anything from the outside that makes you feel safe and connected to your physical body in a positive way? No, thank you. Brandon Handley 22:11 I appreciate that. Because again, you know, like you're saying, if we're going through this trauma, we want to stay connected. I think that you've also mentioned it in the book and some several videos. We don't want to go into a state of catharsis where we disconnect, right? Because then we're not working through that trauma and releasing it. And since it is such a deep is sensation, does processes seeing the trauma, when we connect and have a place of safety to go to that would be what you consider a resourcing. Right, that would be the thing that we can use to help us through that situation. Okay, thank you. Thank you. That's perfect. So there's a couple more pieces I want to get get to here for you. One of the things is, you know, this is a modality that what you what you brought, is something to heal through trauma, and there's trauma and a lot of different ways throughout the world. And one of the things that's happening right now is the War of the Ukraine. And we did not mention the beginning here. I believe that your your Ukrainian descent, and you've recently just come back from there where you've been raising awareness, as well as teaching others in Ukraine, how to leverage this to work through their traumas. Would you like to share a little bit about that? Giten Tonkov 23:30 Yes. Thank you for asking Brandon. Yes, I'm originally from Ukraine. I left Ukraine as a refugee. In fact, when I was 18 years old, and with my parents, we were leaving from my ethnic persecution in Ukraine, and back then it was Soviet Union. And as well as political persecution. So when this conflict started when Ukraine was attacked, completely unprovoked by by Russia, we, I was in Poland and we had already running training for biodynamic breath work and trauma release training, so we to couple of Ukrainian students on scholarship to, for them to bring this work more into the into the field. And once the training is was finished, this was already we were going on to about three weeks of conflicts at that point. And we set up in Warsaw in Poland, a hub for Ukrainian refugees to come and receive the trauma release technique. So we created a very special approach which is geared for acute trauma. which is mostly the trauma that people are experiencing now with this situation. So this, this project is still ongoing, the hub is operational in Warsaw. And now we are in contact with the US State Department, an organism in organization that is subdivision for US State Department, that is actually bringing the work going to bring the work to a Ukrainian aid workers. So we are sending a team going to be sending a team in Warsaw, again, as well as in western Ukraine. And we've so this is a very much needed response. And this is where the modality gets to show up in in actual action, where it's needed most for people that are dealing with a very acute trauma. And as well as the aid workers, they're, they're exposed to, first of all, through vicarious traumatization through through the people that they're helping, as well as being on the territory of Ukraine. It's, it's a very traumatic situation for the entire country for the entire population. Right now, there's over 5 million refugees that left Ukraine, and many of them more than half of them are in Poland. So that's why we set up this hub in Poland, specifically more so. But now, with First of all, we have no idea how long this conflict is going to last. And there are still people are fleeing Ukraine, there are still people that are traumatized, and for sure, we want to, as much as possible avoid for the trauma to continue to build within the country. So it we no matter how you look at it, there will be long lasting consequences from this conflict. And so my organization, biodynamic breathwork, and trauma release Institute, we are fully committed, and we are also started the foundation. Based on this project, we're fully committed to support people who are on the front line, as well as the refugees as well as the people who've been in active combat, to support them to do whatever is possible to release the effects of this horrible events from their physical body. So we don't have to pass it on to future generations. We know how it all ended up after World War Two, and many conflicts that followed. Throughout the world people hold this trauma did becomes generational, and we pass it on to our children and their children's children. This it doesn't go away, just simply with time it gets passed on. Brandon Handley 28:07 Yeah, and so I think that it's great that you're able to get out there and provide a modality like this something that they can do, by themselves, both the refugees and the frontline workers that are out there, and something that, you know, they can do as a community, right. It's a visual, it's something that, you know, shows community and I think that in, given the circumstances, to be accepted into a community like that, and then the work through that, and probably to release that. And that's got to be a moment in their lives that that they end up being eternally grateful. So for for you to do that. I know you've got a I think it's a GoFundMe set up, that I'll be able to share out as long as that's going. And I can share out some links about the ongoing work that you're doing. And I think that that's, it's tremendous that you've been able to find something throughout these years. And as unfortunate as this event is now you're able to go home as it were to provide this incredible resource. Giten Tonkov 29:14 Thank you. Thank you, Brendan. Yes, we have a GoFundMe account, one of the it's for for another week or so until next Friday, so it would be awesome to to receive some donations to support this project. And yes, this is this is real help in action. It's support to the people that really need it. And the it's great that I mentioned community. Community Building is part of what we're doing, bringing people together where they can share in a safe environment where they can share in the environment where they when they speak They are supported in that process. Storytelling is also used as we brought it in as part of one of the tools that are very creative trauma, healing storytelling, where people can tell their stories without feeling. Like they're being re traumatized by telling it. So this is a very specific way that we included in it as well. Wonderful. Brandon Handley 30:31 And so, you know, let's say that I wanted to train in this, I think this modality speaks to me, I've tried other modalities like Wim Hof, you know, getting the heileman supply, but I feel like there's more, you know, and as his work has been great, so is this, talk to me a little bit about, you know, what it would look like to train with you, and how would I go about doing that? Giten Tonkov 30:53 Yes, we have a training running for many years, the training is divided in two parts, part of it is online, and part of it is in person. So it though, in person workshops are happening in Poland, US and Mexico. So pretty much, we're also adding in one in Australia, we had it going in Australia as well. So people pretty much it's accessible from anywhere in the world, whether it's in the in the Americas or in Europe. And so that's an in person part, and there is an online, five months training that just that is part of the practitioner training. Next enrollment, it begins in September. I mean, the enrollment is already happening now. But the next course begins in September. And the training is very flexible to people can go first in person and then continue online or start online and then continue in person. So altogether, it's around 400 hours of training. And it's certified training was certified by Australian breathwork Association as well as international breathwork Foundation. And the it's a registered us continuing education courses by licensing divisions of massage therapy and acupuncture. So this is a very serious training program, especially now when after COVID. So many people left their jobs and looking for a career change and something new in their lives. This is a fantastic way to stay connected to yourself to heal your own body and learn a very valuable modality to support others in their growth. Whether you are already a practitioner of any body oriented modalities or a psychology, this will definitely add to your training that's awesome. Brandon Handley 33:19 Thanks for Thanks for sharing that. One of the use a couple pieces here to left in my mind. One is you've got an exercise, I believe that can help to release like some of the myofascial tissues, right, like and some of the tension. What is that exercise? Would you mind sharing with the audience? Something they could do at home by themselves to try and relieve some of the tension in their body? Giten Tonkov 33:43 Yeah, I absolutely the exercise I can, I can guide the audience for the next five minutes into the exercise and the exercise. It's called tans release, unwind. So there is a certain process happens in our physical body. If we consciously tense the tissues, hold it for 30 seconds, and then release that holding. So the energy that's been held in the body releases and it releases to the deeper tissues as well. So once the release is happening, we take that energy, this bio energy and move it through the body with this unwinding, undulating movement. So this exercise can be done at any time of day. It can be done at any areas in the body. You can start with the face, you can do it the holding your jaw, you can hold your shoulders and then release and then unwind. So the three major step is tensing, holding for 30 seconds, letting go of the holding, releasing, and the final step is to unwind to laugh that movement come up as an expression of the energy that the body is releasing. So let's take a moment you can sit or be standing and take a few deep, full breaths, one after the other. Bring your attention to where the breath is flowing in your physical body. Be aware of the felt sensations that are present in this area. And now let's start by bringing our attention to our shoulder. So I want to ask you to raise your shoulders up to your ears and tense that area and hold that tension. And let's hold it for about 30 seconds. And I'm gonna time it for 30 seconds, and then I'll let you know when to release. And hold it, hold it, hold it. And now let's begin to bring that holding to a peak. Let's hold it tighter. And you have about 10 More seconds left. And 54321 now releasing the tension, letting your shoulders flow down, releasing, relaxing, and let your body softly move, letting that movement come from the inside out. Especially bring in that movement into your spine. So moving your shoulders, moving your head and neck, let this movement come down your spine. Now bringing the breath back, breathing deeply in through the nose, out through the mouth. Deep full breath in through the nose out through the mouth, and let your body softly drop into this movement. There's still this energy that wants to move you if you simply let go of your control, the body will move on its own Yeah, very good. The brain some movement into your neck and head into your lower face into your jaw. Yeah. And take another deep, full breath. Noticing how the when the breath comes in, it fills you up from the inside. It's kind of DISRE rubber ball that expands with the breath. And when you exhale, letting yourself go dropping letting the the gravity work and letting the movement arise. Your body naturally wants to release tension by movement. Yes. And then now the deep full breath. Being aware of your physicality of your whole body as a one unit as a whole. Being aware of your felt sensation, being aware of the place of comfort that we talked earlier about resource How do you experience this resource in your physical body and take a deep full breath and once again, shift your attention to just outside of yourself and whenever you're ready, you can open your eyes even short few minutes of practice already make a difference Brandon Handley 39:44 feel tingly? You know I feel great. Even just even with just short exercise and the reminder to the guidance is always great. The reminder to kind of find the resource is absolutely wonderful and Um, you know, just feeling that kind of release, right, letting that natural movement happen. So that's, that's, that's definitely feels wonderful. So I appreciate you sharing that with me walking me through it myself and, and doing it once like that. So listen, you know, I know we've got a short period of time today's thank you for hopping on today. Hopefully, we recorded and we did everything we're supposed to do it it all works out Where Where should I send some people to connect with you Giten Tonkov 40:31 biodynamic breath.com is our website it has ways to get in touch with our organization, there's contact form at the schedule of all the events.

Being paralyzed from a horrific racing crash has not stopped the drive of Robert Wickens. The paraplegic racer shares his inspirational story with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis. His story is also unorthodox. How did he get into racing? The exposure came from television, NASCAR and a bootleg, sex-free version of Days of Thunder. Dale Jr. and Robert connect on the mutual bond of matchbox cars, which they both, as children, used to emulate the races they watched. The two racers laugh sharing memories of innovating their makeshift tracks. The passion grew and a decision to abandon stick-and-ball sports led Wickens to go-kart racing. From there, his career took off. He moved to the states and then to Europe chasing his dream. While in Europe he navigated the pathway up the motorsports ladder in various series of competition. It was a journey that took him from open-wheeled racecars to German touring cars with Mercedes. While in the Mercedes program, his path even crossed with Formula 1 great Michael Schumacher, who served as an advisor to the team. Wickens earned his FIA Super license and was a reserve driver for a Formula 1 team. He was under contract with an F1 organization but the opportunity was severed by a driver with a bigger checkbook. Wickens' return to North America came with an opportunity to race in the NTT Indycar Series fulltime with Schmidt Peterson Motorsports. The rookie came out of the gate with authority capturing the pole at the ending of the qualifying session at the season opener at the St. Petersburg course in Florida. Wickens then led the majority of the race before controversial contact with two laps to go between he and his good friend Alexander Rossi. The incident took him out contention for the win. His Indycar progression was going well. Then August 19, 2018. Wickens lined up 6th for the 500-mile race at the tricky Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania. The seventh lap would change Robert Wickens life forever. While battling Ryan Hunter-Reay, a crash sent his car into the catchfence violently at a speed of 210 mph. Wickens tries to recall the scattered memories he has of the day, that live in bits and pieces in his mind. The accident resulted in badly fractured legs, arms, hands, ribs, neck, a pulmonary contusion and thoracic spinal fracture. Robert Wickens survived the crash but was now faced with being a paraplegic. Wickens reveals what he knows about the time he spent in an induced coma and the struggle to just survive.. He then opens up about the pain he endured from his injuries, both physically and mentally, and the ripple effect its had on so many people in his life. His journey since the crash has been damn-near miraculous. Driven by a thirst for independence and a desire to return to racing, Robert Wickens fought through various levels of rehabilitation to get to his ultimate goal. That goal? Strapping in behind the wheel of a racecar. At first, E-Sports and iRacing were his proving grounds. Now, the next chapter has begun as Wickens is competing in IMSA's Pilot Series for Hyundai in a racecar with hand-controls. It's a journey that has inspired so many, including everyone in the room.   OPEN SEGMENT Before Wickens' arrival, Dale Earnhardt Jr. reveals what it was like to be a part of the nomination panel, for the first time, at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The DJD then debates who they would select from that list to make it into the next class of the HOF. Who should be in the Hall and why?   ASKJR Presented By Xfinity Hannah Newhouse picks the best fan questions from Twitter and the Dirty Mo Media live chat. We discuss: April fools and dirty pranks Danica Patrick catching the bouquet at Dale and Amy's wedding. The advantage of tape on the grille of your racecar after Kyle Busch's penalty. How the Next Gen car will do on dirt. How iRacing will get its hands dirty in the console game scene. Who built the table? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Three broken hearts. One extraordinary love story. Seven-year-old Jake's heart is failing and he doesn't want to leave his dad, Simon, alone. So he makes a decision: to find Simon someone to love before he goes. Beth is determined to forget the past. But even when she leaves New York to start afresh in a Lake District village, she can't shake the secrets that haunt her. Single dad Simon still holds a candle for the woman who left him years ago. Every day is a struggle to earn a living while caring for his beloved son. He has no time for finding someone new. But Jake is determined his plan will succeed - and what unfolds will change all three of them forever.
