Podcasts about unconventional

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Erik Lacitis, longtime journalist with the Seattle Times, to preview an upcoming story in the Sunday magazine. Lacitis put the call out last week for suggestions from readers - headlined “Riots, bad drivers, Dick's is overrated. Is this your Seattle? Tell us.” - asking for input about local places and products that tend to serve locals as well as tourists. The resulting piece, which will be something of an "unconventional visitor's guide," will be published in the magazine in the Sunday Seattle Times on August 3, 2025. More information about Erik Lacitis: www.seattletimes.com/author/erik-lacitis/ CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via space101fm.org. The radio station is located at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

Unconventional thinking has led to the creation of awe-inspiring innovations. In today's episode, I take into consideration the contributions of two people who might have been called crazy. 

What does it look like to take a neuroscience degree far beyond the lab? In this episode, we explore a career path that crosses scientific research, government regulation, and biotech entrepreneurship with Dr. Amanda Wiggins, CEO of The cGP Lab. Amanda began her career investigating neurodegeneration and cortical spreading depression. Over time, her passion for real-world impact led her into public policy—where she helped shape New Zealand's Human Tissue Act and advised on regulations for stem cell research and genetic technologies. Today, she leads a company advancing neuroprotective health supplements based on cyclic Glycine-Proline (cGP), a molecule with growing potential in aging and cognitive health. We talk about: How to navigate transitions between academia, government, and business The challenges of working across disciplines—and how to build confidence in new spaces Lessons learned from leading regulatory change and scaling innovation Amanda's work at The cGP Lab and the science behind cGP's potential in brain health Advice for scientists who want to move into leadership, entrepreneurship, or public engagement This conversation is for anyone considering a non-linear career in neuroscience or wondering how to apply scientific training in new and meaningful ways.

Send us a textBroadway marketer turned playwright Cameron Scott came onto Playwright's Spotlight after I received his submission to PLAY Noir to talk about his later-in-life start to playwriting. In this conversation, we delve into what the definition of a writer is, a play being a living thing, audio plays vs stage plays and a play's transition from audio to stage, and setting time aside and finding opportunities to write. We also discuss staging in unconventional locations, being a minimalist playwright, overnight success, and the new trend of streaming Broadway shows. It's great, energetic conversation that proves it's never too late to start. Just write. Enjoy!Cameron Scott has worked with Broadway's top producers to create brand campaigns for well over 100 productions including 17 Tony Award-winning Best Plays, Best Musicals, and Best Revivals. He has recently turned to writing plays of his own.

(00:00) Indoor Golf Practice Techniques This chapter brings a lighthearted exchange about dogs and golf, as we share stories about our furry friends and how they intertwine with our lives. I talk about my dog Mulligan, a rescue who has become an essential part of our family, and we explore the touching notion of who truly rescues whom in a pet adoption. The conversation takes a fun turn as we discuss the unexpected challenges and joys of living with multiple dogs, including my grandson's decision to bring home two pit bulls and their puppies. On the golfing front, I recount my creative practice methods at home, like using a backyard for swings and even utilizing Nerf balls in the garage. We also touch on some golf tips, such as understanding ball flight, face direction, and club path to improve one's game, even if just practicing indoors. (12:11) Efficient Techniques for More Power This chapter explores how to hit a golf ball farther by focusing on efficiency and eliminating wasted energy. I discuss common mistakes, such as hitting the ball fat, swaying the back leg, and casting the club, and provide practical solutions to correct these inefficiencies. One innovative method I introduce involves using a loop of rope to improve swing sequence and body movement, emphasizing turning the chest first to enhance power transfer to the ball. Additionally, I suggest using alignment sticks to develop effortless power, highlighting the importance of hearing the "whoosh" noise at the right moment. These tips aim to transform powerless effort into effortless power, helping golfers maximize their swing efficiency and increase their distance on the course. (20:13) Effective Golf Practice Techniques This chapter focuses on the art of improving one's golf game, highlighting the importance of practice and having realistic expectations. We explore how mastering key skills, such as hitting the ball in the middle of the face, controlling ball flight, and increasing distance, can lead to greater satisfaction on the course. By emphasizing the need for practice and the use of tools like ropes and alignment sticks, we stress that true improvement doesn't come from simply showing up on the first tee without preparation. The key takeaway is to approach the game with zero expectations, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience that can lead to unexpectedly good rounds.

Bob Baxley is a design leader who has shaped products used by billions at Apple, Pinterest, Yahoo, and ThoughtSpot. During his eight years at Apple, he led design for the online store and the App Store, and witnessed the iPhone's transformative launch while working under Steve Jobs. A student of history turned software craftsman, Bob discovered his calling after exploring photography, filmmaking, and music, ultimately recognizing software as the most powerful creative medium of our time. Bob champions the moral obligation designers have to reduce frustration in people's daily digital interactions.What you'll learn:• Why design should report to engineering, not product• The “Beatles principle”—why the best products come from teams of 4 to 6, not 40 to 60• How to create design tenets vs. principles (with real examples)• The counterintuitive reason to delay drawing or prototyping as long as possible• Why software is fundamentally a medium, like film or music (not just a tool)• Why Bob “bounced off the culture” at Pinterest, and lessons from failure• The lunar landing story

Have you ever thought about...What a therapist, a grandma, and an organ donor teach you about service design?I know, this might sound like the start of a strange joke, but it gets to the heart of a big truth about our work. We invest a lot of time perfecting our journey maps, blueprints, and personas. But as we know, the challenges we work on won't be solved by a deliverable.They're solved through invisible "tools" like subtle influence, creating space for others, and building strategic relationships. So, where do you find these tools? Well, this episode is a great start.This episode is part of our "Inside Service Design" series, where we explore the real, unpolished practice of driving change from within organizations.And just like in the previous episodes you get to hear two brilliant in-house professionals, share some of their most powerful, non-traditional strategies. This time we're joined by Irina Damascan and Gina Mendolia.Gina walks us through her concept of "Setting the Trap" for engagement, and how she draws inspiration from the roles of therapists, coaches, and even grandmas to master the art of creating space and enabling teams to connect the dots themselves. Irina introduces a powerful model for influence she calls the "Organ Donor Chain," a strategic way to build networks of reciprocity by doing "favors" that enable change across the organization, often in unexpected ways.I have to say, it was refreshing to hear about effective mental models that go beyond design-as-usual, which aren't just theories but truly help to design better services.Want to add some (unconventional) tools that help you drive change to your toolkit? Grab your notebook and join us for this conversation.What's the most unconventional place you've found inspiration for your work? Maybe a different profession, a hobby, a movie? Share your inspiration in the comments on YouTube and let's continue the conversation there.Keep making a positive impact!~ Marc--- [ 1.

Brace yourselves, Booty Gang—this week on BUTT HONESTLY, we are joined by none other than WILLAM: the drag superstar, singer-songwriter, actor, podcaster, producer, and walking scandal in heels. You've seen them in A Star Is Born, you've laughed with them on UNCONVENTIONAL, and you've gagged on Hot Goss over on the MOGULS OF MEDIA network. Now? They're bringing that same unfiltered fabulousness right here. And it's everything.Dr. Carlton and Dangilo dive deep with Willam on:Pride Season survival tactics and how they stay fabulous from gig to gigTrans rights and why advocacy isn't optional.A definitive answer to the age-old question: What city has the best D?And of course—how to keep your hole ready while living that tour bus life. (Because a true professional stays ready.)Meanwhile, Dr. Carlton breaks down a groundbreaking new study using nanoparticles to target dormant HIV—science fiction? Nope.

In this episode, we talk about how to get real Amazon reviews without breaking the rules. Our guest is Adam Melenkivitz, founder of Test Squared, a platform that helps Amazon sellers grow with FTC-compliant reviews. He shares how sellers can earn trust, avoid fake reviews, and stay on the right side of the law—while also getting real feedback that helps improve their products. Topics discussed in this episode:  Why authentic Amazon reviews are more critical than ever for building consumer trust. What the new FTC rule means for Amazon sellers. How TestSquared's matching system works without breaking Amazon's rules. Why most reviews aren't five-star ratings and that's actually beneficial. What product categories work best for authentic review programs. How the 35-day review timeline varies by product type. Why 20 authentic reviews is the magic number for Amazon's algorithm. How proper vetting prevents fake testers from gaming the system. What the affiliate program offers for referral partners. Why being unconventional in marketing helps generate organic reviews. Links & Resources Website: https://www.testsquared.com/ Affiliate link: https://www.testsquared.com/affiliate LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammelenkivitz/ Get access to more free resources by visiting the show notes athttps://tinyurl.com/4h9sdwtn SUPPORT OUR SPONSORThis episode is sponsored by Ahrefs — the all-in-one marketing intelligence platform trusted by SEO professionals, content creators, and digital marketers around the world.

You may have heard me quote a former acting coach a time or two on this podcast, that “if you want to bring life into your characters, you have to first live a life in order to have something to pour onto the stage, screen or microphone.”  I'd say the same holds true for any good author or storyteller. Today, I'm incredibly honored to have as my guest, Alex Poppe, the multi-award-winning author renowned for her compelling literary fiction that delves into themes of resilience, identity, and social justice.  After graduating at the top of her university's undergraduate business school, Alex began her  professional career as a business analyst for Mobile Oil and quickly became disenchanted with the corporate culture after, she, and I quote, “hit my head too many times on the glass ceiling and exchanged my corporate life to pursue an artistic one.”  Poppe moved to New York to enroll in the ‘Circle in the Square's' two-year professional actor training program.  It's where Alex honed her observation skills and enabled her to quickly identify and address individual student learning challenges after she quit her acting pursuits, got certified to Teach English as a Second Language, moved to Poland for her first teaching assignment, and then eventually to the Middle East spending almost a decade there as an educator in several prestigious public and private universities.   Her experience as an actor, world traveler, humanitarian aid worker and educator in war-torn conflict zones, before coming back stateside to work for USAID, is what Alex pours onto the page. Alex joins me today to talk about her forthcoming memoir, Breakfast Wine: A Memoir of Chasing an Unconventional Life and Finding a Way Home, which chronicles her transformative journey from that disillusioned corporate professional in the U.S. to an educator navigating cultural complexities and personal upheavals.  To contact Alex Poppe directly via the followng: Business email: sallya.poppe@gmail.com Business website: www.alexpoppe.com On Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/alex_poppe_author/ On LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sallyalexpoppe/ Order Breakfast Wine at Bookshop.org or your local indie bookstore.

Did you know that people who focus on their strengths tend to be happier, feel more alive, and achieve greater success? Many of us obsess over fixing our blind spots and overcoming weaknesses. But what if the key to overcoming adversity is, counterintuitively, focusing on what is right about ourselves and others, rather than what is wrong? In this episode of The Spacemakers, Daniel and Matt continue their exploration of the science of strengths. They explore how to find your "fun lane" and share counterintuitive strategies like 'bending' and 'partnering' to overcome weaknesses. Are you ready to harness your strengths and leverage past successes to get unstuck?Discover more:INFO-GRAPHIC DOWNLOADSPACEMAKERS WEBSITE / Season 3YOUTUBERAISING TECH HEALTHY HUMANSThis episode is made possible with support from our sponsor: Banjo's Bakery Cafes This podcast is recorded and produced by Production Farm StudiosMentioned in this episode:Banjo's Bakery Café's - FRANCHISEES 1A warm thanks to our sponsor, Banjo's Bakery Café's, who are expanding across Australia and looking for new franchisee's!

In this episode of Soulpreneur Scaling Stories, I chat with Maria John, a website copywriter who recently completed a rebrand of her signature offer, "Lights, Copy, Action." Maria shares her journey from being an "accidental entrepreneur" doing work she didn't enjoy to building a business centered around her unique copywriting process that delivers exceptional results for clients.Maria reveals how her distinctive approach - a 3-6 hour narrative workshop with clients before writing their website copy - initially caused her to feel self-conscious and hesitant to promote it. Over time, she came to recognize this difference as her greatest strength, leading to more aligned clients and remarkable results, including one client who increased prices tenfold after implementing her copy.This conversation is packed with honest reflections on the entrepreneurial journey, including Maria's experience with burnout, her decision to walk away from profitable but unfulfilling work, and the year-long process of rebuilding her business around work she loves.Key Points Covered:✨ Why rebranding an existing offer can dramatically change how you feel about your business✨ The importance of professional design and messaging in showcasing your value✨ How Maria's unique narrative workshop approach differentiates her from other copywriters✨ Why you shouldn't let industry norms dictate your business process when you know your approach creates better results✨ The reality of walking away from profitable work to build a business you love✨ How test marketing your messaging on social media can help refine your offer before launching✨ Why you don't necessarily need a perfectly designed sales page to start selling your offers✨ The importance of financial planning and personal belief when making significant business pivots Connect with Maria:WebsiteInstagramThreadsLinkedInNewsletterTime to call "Cut!" on underperforming copy [Free Workshop]Send us a text Thank you for being a part of the Soulpreneur Scaling Stories community!FREE RESOURCES

As the co-founder of Pacific Content (the first agency dedicated to branded podcasts), Steve helped pioneer a model for long-form brand storytelling that respected the audience as much as it served the client. Before podcasting was a thing brands took seriously, Steve was guiding companies like Slack, Facebook, Shopify, BMW, Adobe, and Charles Schwabinto a new kind of media - one built on trust, consistency, and real creative value. That experience forms the foundation of his new book, Earn It - Unconventional Strategies For Brave Marketers. In this conversation, he unpacks why so many marketers are stuck in short-term thinking, how performance marketing is cannibalizing brand, and what it really takes to build content worth someone's time. There's insight here on the difference between being loud and being relevant, on why the future belongs to brave brands with a point of view, and how AI may flood the market with content - but only humans can still make something remarkable. Steve's career started in TV production, moved through digital innovation at CBC, and has now landed at the intersection of creativity, business strategy, and media design with his newest venture, The Creativity Business. His message is simple: the only brands that win long-term are the ones willing to put in the work, respect the audience, and be consistently great over time. For anyone wrestling with content strategy, podcasting, or how to think like a media company - this one's a masterclass. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:00:53.
