EPISODE TITLE: From New in Town to Top 10: How Events Built a Referral Business HOST: Michael J. Maher GUEST: Christine Pandolf DESCRIPTION: What if you moved to a brand-new city, knew almost nobody, and had to build a thriving referral-based business from scratch? That's exactly what Christine Pandolf did. After relocating from Upstate New York to the Lake Norman area of North Carolina, Christine obtained her real estate license during COVID and began searching for ways to build relationships and generate referrals. Through Referral Mastery Academy and the Event Mastery system, she discovered a repeatable process for creating meaningful events that bring people together, strengthen community connections, support local charities, and generate business. Today, Christine hosts multiple annual events including Spring Fling, Pie Day, community pool parties, and a monthly book club that has become one of her most consistent sources of referrals and revenue. In this episode, Christine shares how she plans events 6-8 weeks in advance using the Event Mastery system, uses formal snail-mail invitations combined with personal video texts, leverages sponsors to offset costs, and creates experiences people genuinely want to attend. You'll also hear the incredible story of the event she couldn't attend because she was sick—yet the event still ran flawlessly, generated referrals, and proved that a great system can work even when the host isn't present. Most importantly, Christine shares the emotional moment she realized she had built an incredible community around her business after moving to North Carolina knowing only her son. If you've ever wondered whether events really work, this episode is proof that they do.

Unexplained activity and an unsettling atmosphere left him questioning whether the home's past was still lingering within its walls.The conversation then shifts to a home in Queens, New York, where Mike lived with his grandfather and encountered what he believes was an angry spirit. Night after night, at exactly 3:00 AM, the sound of someone running through the hallway would jolt him awake. The footsteps became a terrifying routine, and the presence behind them seemed determined to make itself known.Rather than allowing fear to control his life, Mike made the decision to confront the entity himself. He shares the personal journey that led him to take on the spirit alone, the techniques and spiritual practices he used to protect himself, and how he ultimately worked to banish the presence from the home.Mike also opens up about his psychic abilities, discussing how he first realized he could sense things others couldn't, what it's like to read people's energy, and how those abilities have helped shape his understanding of the paranormal world.From a former funeral home in Upstate New York to nightly encounters with an angry spirit in Queens, this episode is packed with firsthand experiences, spiritual insight, and a fascinating look into one man's journey through the unknown.Join Chris, Dean, and Mike for a conversation that explores hauntings, psychic phenomena, and the courage it takes to confront what goes bump in the night.Support the showSOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @TWRoadpodcastIG: twroadpodcastWant to be a guest or share your paranormal experiences?

“Before I came here, I dreamt about this land.” —Jessie Jowers, Slow Life Family FarmThe third course in our series, Secondi, brings us to the tensions of resistance and surrender. In this episode of Fat of The Land, Ayana speaks with Jessie Jowers of Slow Life Family Farm and Deborah Zapparrata of Cooking Sicily. Here, the episode asks us to consider what social and domestic roles do to us. Focusing on women's stories, histories, and layers of expectations around femininity, the body, and even the earth, that come from this, the conversation considers the complexities of lived and inherited wisdom; how they might be at odds, and where they may be reconciled. When women are told what we should desire, what we should have, what our expectations of life and family ought to be, are our experiences flattened? Asking questions of the land, the trading of spices and recipes, of the myths about women (from making ricotta from their breastmilk to liberate their cities to goddesses worshipped on the Sicilian coastline), Ayana, Jessie and Deborah contemplate how these histories may have been inherited (or, at times, rejected) by contemporary women. This episode grounds us in matrilineal connections that span generations Fat of The Land is a series that asks us what we mean when we look for connection between people and the land. Following a desire for real relation, for deliciousness, and for slowness, each episode traces what happens when we follow this desire. This episode is brought to you by generous sponsorships from Ritū, Terra Elaÿa, and Heyday Books.The featured music in this episode is “High Hill” by Evelyn Frances and For The Wild Studio.Thank you to Jessie of Slow Life Family Farm and Deborah of Cooking Sicily for joining us in conversation.Bios With a passion for the traditional uses of plants, Jessie Jowers brings a wealth of knowledge about local crafts, foods, and medicines to her farm's daily life. Deborah Zapparrata, nearly a decade ago, founded Cooking Sicily. It is a project born from a profound love for my island and its ancient roots. Alongside her family, her mother, three children, and her son-in-law, she has worked to preserve and share the true soul of our land. Cooking Siciliy explores Sicilian identity through its authentic flavors, rooted in a millennia-old history. Their cuisine is a unique Mediterranean tapestry, weaving together Greek, Arabic, Spanish, and French influences. Through local ingredients and ancestral heritage, Deborah invites the world to taste the living history of Sicily.Evelyn Frances is an experimental, avante garde musician and songwriter from Upstate New York, currently based in Seattle. Her work weaves in her foundation as a classical flutist and jazz musician, while moving forward into electronic exploration of sound. Lyrically, she touches on themes of climate change and human's relationship to nature, political rage, and her own struggles with mental illness.PartnersHeyday: Compassion in CrisisCrisis looms large in daily life. From failing public health infrastructure to resource shortages, endless wars, and melting ice caps the crisis in education is inseparable from the crisis in loneliness, spurred on by the interests and fantasies of a small group of wealthy individuals, for whose sake whole swathes of our planet burn. Confronted with this situation, Kate Rose Weiner and Kailea Rose Loften began collaborating on what would become Compassion in Crisis: Building Disaster-Resilient Communities, a book that presents a strategy for catastrophe guided by values of curiosity and communal care. Readers will learn how to prepare baby formula in an emergency, how to best use stinging nettle or chamomile flowers for first-aid, alongside tips for paying attention to the different responses of our nervous systems to stress.

Full automation and AI on the factory floor are great, but the line still doesn't run without people who can feel a part click into place wrong or hear a tool burn.That space between what technology can repeat and what only an operator can sense is the art of precision manufacturing.Recorded live from The Manufacturing Exchange at ARTISANworks in Rochester, NY for the Rochester stop on the Rust Belt Renaissance Tour, Chris is joined on stage by three guests who think about that space every day. Matthew Bradley is Program Director at Moog Inc., a 75-year-old Buffalo-based motion control company building out a brand-new 150,000-square-foot machine shop. James Greer is Lead Sourcing Rep at X-Bow Systems, the non-traditional solid rocket motor manufacturer. Chris Brown, SVP of Sales, joins from Fathom Digital Manufacturing, one of the largest on-demand digital manufacturing platforms in North America.They talk through where automation creates value and where applying it too aggressively produces scrap. Matt walks through the philosophy his team is using to pull together routings, eliminate setups, and rethink "we've always done it this way" inside Moog's new facility. James shares what he looks for when grading a supplier within 60 seconds of walking the floor, the regional pockets of the US where manufacturing talent is gathering, and why the mix of people on machine shop floors is more varied than people assume.For anyone scaling a precision shop, evaluating suppliers, trying to figure out where the operator ends and the machine should begin, or thinking about the art of manufacturing, this is a look at how three working leaders are navigating that line right now.In this episode, find out:The parts of precision manufacturing that will always need a human, and why feel still beats sensors when tolerances run into the millionthsWhere the art shows up in novel parts and the unfamiliar problems no simulation, CAM program, or AI catches the first time throughWhy Moog calls its experienced machinists a "critical, precious resource" and how that framing shapes the company's plan to double headcount over the next decadeHow a Moog servo valve goes together, and why an interference fit clicking is the cue that something is already wrongWhat Chris Brown means when he says "the human brain is what needs to solve that problem," and where Fathom puts that into practiceWhat outsiders miss about Upstate New York's manufacturing scene, from optics to aerospace to motion controlHow shop culture and the way owners invest in their people decide whether the next generation of machinists staysEnjoying the show?

There is always gonna have to be a human in there to feel and understand what's going on." — Matthew Bradley, Program Director, Moog Inc."If you ask five engineers to solve one problem, there'll be 10 answers in 20 hours of argument. So time box that time, understand that sometimes your gut's Right. Trust it and move forward." — Chris Brown, SVP of Sales, Fathom Digital Manufacturing"What that owner did is he invested in his people. He said, 'I don't want you to go out and get a personal loan and give your money away to some financial institution. I don't want you to go get a mortgage. I'll buy your house.'

One sunny afternoon in Upstate New York, Suzy and her daughter were outside practicing skip counting. Progress was slow—until her daughter hopped onto the trampoline and began skipping counting with every jump. After hours of struggle, she was suddenly doing it on her own.Suzy once believed she was a “math flunky.” Struggling through school and discouraged by teachers, she never imagined a future in mathematics. But Suzy proved them wrong earning a bachelor's in mathematics, a master's in Statistics, becoming an Associate of the Society of Actuaries, and authoring two books for actuaries: Survival Models Made Easy and Risk Theory Made Easy. Her early challenges inspired her to help others gain confidence in math.Math & Movement began with Suzy's daughter skipping counting on a trampoline and has since reached educators and students worldwide.

The proposed Streams Data Center in Genesee County, NY would be the largest built in the state to date. It is meeting massive local resistance, says Sarah Howard, an environmental consultant for the Tonawanda Seneca Nation.
In the first segment, we talk to Leonie Haimson, executive director of Class Size Matters. She explains why a growing coalition of parents, students and educators are alarmed by the rapid rollout of AI tools in the classroom with the apparent blessing of Mayor Zohran Mamdani and are demanding a two-year moratorium on the expansion of AI in the schools to gain a better understanding of its impact on students. Our second guest, Sarah Howard is an environmental consultant for the Tonawanda Seneca Nation. She describes the growing resistance in upstate New York as the threat of the proposed Streams Data Center in Genesee County, NY would be the largest built in the state to date.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticJoin The Normandy For Ad-Free NME, Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KAnalytic Dreamz delivers a detailed breakdown of Noah Kahan's fourth studio album, The Great Divide, released on April 24, 2026. This 17-track project continues the folk-pop and Americana sound established on the 2022 breakthrough album Stick Season while introducing new elements including increased piano presence and rock-pop detours, most notably on “American Cars.”The album explores deep themes of family trauma, sobriety, mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphia, identity, hometown disconnect, and the tension between fame and personal authenticity. Unlike Stick Season, The Great Divide expands beyond Kahan's personal perspective to incorporate multiple viewpoints, anchored by the recurring motif of small-town life versus global success. Key tracks include the lead single “The Great Divide,” which addresses fear, mortality, and existential reflection, alongside “Doors,” “Paid Time Off,” “Dan,” “23,” “Deny Deny Deny,” “Porch Light,” “Dashboard,” and “Haircut.”Production credits feature Gabe Simon and Aaron Dessner, with recording sessions held in Nashville and Upstate New York. The project is positioned as a direct successor to Stick Season rather than a radical reinvention, praised for its strong songwriting and emotional depth while drawing comparisons to Taylor Swift's pop structures, Don Henley's tone, Bon Iver, Zach Bryan, and Mumford & Sons.Analytic Dreamz examines the accompanying documentary Noah Kahan: Out of Body, which provides additional context on Kahan's mental health struggles, writer's block, and personal philosophy of confronting rather than curing his challenges. The segment also covers the 2026 The Great Divide Tour, a North American arena and stadium run launching June 11 in Orlando and concluding August 31 in Seattle, with multiple sold-out dates including a four-night Boston residency at Fenway Park.Ticket demand has driven high pricing, with resale values reaching up to $13,198 in Boston, while base tickets start around $220. Analytic Dreamz analyzes how this project represents Noah Kahan's transition into a stadium-level headliner while maintaining his “regular-guy” relatability and authentic storytelling.This segment provides comprehensive insight into the album's thematic ambition, commercial momentum, and cultural positioning as a key 2026 release in folk-pop and Americana.

“These technologies are morally agnostic. They could be the best things ever and the worst things ever, and the determinant is us.” — Jamie Metzl Two summers ago, Jamie Metzl gave a talk on AI and spirituality at the Chautauqua Institution in Upstate New York. That same spot where Salman Rushdie was stabbed on stage a couple of years earlier. Rather than an assassination attempt, Metzl's talk triggered The AI Ten Commandments: A New Moral Code for Humanity — a book co-authored with GPT-5. Metzl humbly claims that AI enabled him to incorporate other non-Christian traditions in a new moral code for humanity. Some might think, however, that this type of ChatGPT-5 co-production reflects a new moral crisis for humanity. The victory of AI slop. Fast information. High on intellectual calories, low on everything else. Five Takeaways • Co-Authoring with GPT-5: Five to six thousand back-and-forth exchanges over the course of writing the book. Metzl is a novelist who cares deeply about language and the provenance of ideas — he is explicit that this is not the kind of AI fraud that got Mia Ballard's book pulled from Hachette. The analogy he reaches for: Refik Anadol at MoMA, whose installation uses the museum's entire digital collection not to reproduce the images but to create something new from them. The collaboration with AI isn't about outsourcing the thinking. It's about gaining a vantage point that no individual human could have — the same way we collaborate with machines in biology to see the genome, which no one could simply observe by looking at another person. • Moses's Problem: The biblical 10 commandments, examined closely, don't hold up. The first two are preamble. “Thou shalt not kill” — Moses received it on Sinai and then came down and murdered 3,000 people at God's instruction. The commandments were written by people with no awareness of the moral traditions of the Americas, Asia, or Africa. Metzl's counterproposal uses AI to look at all of human recorded history simultaneously — every tradition, every culture, every spiritual framework — and decipher what they share. The analogy: the Artemis II astronauts seeing Earth holistically from space, rather than one community at a time. • The Ten Commandments, Listed: (1) Treat every being with compassion and dignity. (2) Do no harm; actively protect the vulnerable. (3) Speak and act truthfully, with integrity and humility. (4) Share generously, especially with those in need. (5) Seek to understand others before judging them. (6) Resolve conflict with fairness, forgiveness, and the intent to heal. (7) Live in harmony with nature and all forms of life. (8) Value wisdom over dominance; cultivate inner growth. (9) Honour the freedom and uniqueness of others. (10) Remember the sacredness of life; live with awe, gratitude, and love. Metzl's favourite is number ten. Andrew's objection: you don't need GPT-5 to come up with any of these. You could get most of them from a local Buddhist centre. • Humanistic Slop vs. Selfish Survivalism: Andrew's repeated challenge: these principles are so unobjectionable that they amount to nothing — a kind of AI-laundered platitude. Metzl half-concedes, but argues that the absence of articulated universal norms is itself a political danger. Kant described the League of Peace in 1795. It took a hundred and fifty years and two world wars before the UN Charter was signed in 1945. The UN has now largely failed. If we don't articulate what we're trying to achieve, it becomes even harder to get there. Globalism, in Metzl's framing, isn't idealism. It's survivalism. Our fates are intertwined whether we recognise it or not. • The Eleventh Commandment: World-changing technologies must be governed responsibly, including through national regulation and accountability frameworks. The hope that AI CEOs will voluntarily do the right thing — even the best of them, even Dario, even Demis — is a terrible strategy. It will fail, because some companies will always seek opportunity. The nuclear analogy: at the dawn of the nuclear age, nobody said “alright, just do whatever you want and good luck.” These are civilizational transformations. They require governance. These technologies are morally agnostic. They could be the best things ever and the worst things ever. The determinant is us. About the Guest Jamie Metzl is a technology futurist, geopolitics expert, sci-fi novelist, and founder and chair of OneShared.World. He is a Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council and a Singularity University expert.

The Psychedelic Entrepreneur - Medicine for These Times with Beth Weinstein
Samuel Perry RH (AHG) is a clinical herbalist, medicine maker and herbal educator in Upstate New York. Practicing in the Vitalist and eclectic tradition of American Herbalism, Sam offers compassionate attention and practical support in all manner of health concerns.

His commitment to the ever-unfolding awakening of all beings is expressed in a playful and fluid style. Episode Highlights ▶ Sam shares why psilocybin belongs within the larger tradition of herbalism, not as a standalone medicine, but as part of an ancient, living lineage. ▶ Beth and Sam introduce their upcoming program,The Energetics of Psilocybin & Herbal Medicine: Remembering & Restoring the Missing Piece in Contemporary Psychedelic Practice, focusing on the often-neglected energetic dimensions of psilocybin. ▶ How the "Amazon Prime effect" shapes how many approach plant medicines, seeking instant healing rather than building a true relationship with the medicine ▶ Herbalism offers practical support for the physical discomforts of a journey (nausea, cramping, racing heart) so attention can stay on the teaching. ▶ Understanding your own energetic constitution changes how you receive and digest these medicines, because no two bodies have the same experience ▶ True set and setting goes deeper than intention and environment. It includes diet, sleep, relationships, medications, and the life you're returning to. ▶ Integration isn't a post-journey practice. It's the whole path. ▶ Our ancestors were not preliminary, and the traditions they carried hold a depth that modern science is only beginning to approach ▶ A practical herbal kit gives facilitators and personal journeyers alike the tools to support any body through any stage of the experience ▶ Building soil, the conditions for these medicines to truly take root, is the deeper intention behind everything this program offers Sam Perry's Links & Resources ▶ Website: https://www.arborvitaeny.com/corefaculty/samuel-perry ▶ https://ravencrestbotanicals.com/pages/retreat-schedule-2026 ▶ The Energetics of Psilocybin & Herbal Medicine: Remembering & Restoring the Missing Piece in Contemporary Psychedelic Practice: https://bethaweinstein.com/energetics-of-psilocybin/ Download Beth's free trainings here: Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-businessIntegrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services▶ Instagram: @bethaweinstein ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz ▶ Join the free Psychedelics & Purpose Community: / psychedelicsandsacredmedicines

Brett Chedzoy is a Cornell Extension Forester and co-operator of Angus Glen Farms in upstate New York, where he and his wife Maria graze over 100 cow-calf pairs across 600 acres with much of it wooded. He's also been ranching in central Argentina since the mid-1990s, where he first discovered his love for cattle after heading there as a Peace Corps volunteer fresh out of graduate school.In this episode, Brett breaks down silvopasture and how to evaluate existing woodland and open it up for productive grazing. He explains why thinning your woods isn't just about letting in light, it's about protecting the long-term value of your timber while growing more forage.Topics covered:Brett's background: Kansas wheat farming roots, a Welsh sheep-herding grandfather, Peace Corps in Argentina, and what the gauchos taught him about the difference between working hard and working smartWhat silvopasture looks like in the forested Northeast vs. the savanna-style systems common in other regionsWhy cool-season forages like orchardgrass can actually thrive in light shade and how silvopasture extends your grazing season on both endsThe 10-question site evaluation tool Brett developed to assess whether a piece of woodland is a good silvopasture candidateHow to find the right logging crew for silvopasture thinning (hint: it's a very different operation than high-value timber harvest)The forester vs. farmer timescale problem and how to find the middle groundWho to call first: land grant extension, state forestry agencies, and your local soil and water conservation districtWhy Brett recommends starting small and getting your first experience before tackling a 50-acre projectResources mentioned:Cornell Silvopasture resources — search "Cornell silvopasture" or visit forestconnect.infoBrett's 10-question silvopasture site evaluation toolNational Agroforestry CenterUniversity of Missouri silvopasture resources Looking for grass-based breeders?

What if one of the most interesting startups in New York is being built quietly in a barn in Vernon? In this episode of Rust Belt Startup, I sit down with Justin Call, founder and CEO of Modovolo, a company designing a new kind of drone — and doing it far from the typical startup scene. Instead of chasing hype or venture capital headlines, Justin and his team have been focused on something much harder: patiently building a real company, solving real problems, and learning what it takes to bring a complex idea to life. In our conversation, Justin shares the story behind Modovolo — how the company got started, why they chose a very different approach to designing drones, and what it's like to build a startup in a small community in Upstate New York. We also talk about some of the lessons entrepreneurs can take from his journey, including: • Why staying focused matters more than trying to grow too fast • What it's really like to build a product that has to work in the real world • The importance of patience when you're building something new • Why great companies can be built outside Silicon Valley • And how small teams can quietly do big things This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how startups actually get built — not just the highlight reel. If you're interested in entrepreneurship, building things from scratch, or the future of innovation in places like Upstate New York, this conversation is for you.

Following her college graduation, Liz spent two years traveling the U.S., working on farms and communal living spaces as part of the WWOOF program. During a stay in Boulder, CO, she attended a school focused on psychic techniques, where she was trained in visualization exercises and energy work. Surprisingly, this is not where Liz had her otherworldly encounter. The main story centers on a period when Liz was living in a rural house in Upstate New York. After her roommate, Adam, invited her to participate in a "healing meditation", Liz agrees without many expectations. However the meditation had very surprisingly results, and set off a chain of even more bizarre experiences after. This episode has a few similarities to the episode coming out this monday on the main feed. When I realized this, I thought it might be fun to put them out around the same time.
