Podcasts about Watkins

This week on The Upload, Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans sit down with musician Madison Watkins for one of the most vulnerable conversations yet about ambition, compromise, trauma, shame, surrender, and what happens when God asks you to lay down the very dream you thought He gave you. Madison grew up singing in church in small-town Arkansas and says she knew from childhood that God had called her to music. At 20, that dream took her to Los Angeles, where doors began opening and the success she'd spent years chasing finally started arriving. But somewhere along the way, Madison says she began to lose herself. The pressure to fit into the industry slowly changed how she presented herself, what she was willing to compromise, and even how boldly she talked about Jesus. Eventually, Madison had everything she thought she wanted: viral music, money, sold-out shows and major opportunities. But on the morning of a sold-out show in L.A., she woke up covered in shingles and feeling completely empty. Looking in the mirror, she says she barely recognized the woman staring back at her. The next day, Madison felt God tell her clearly: “You forgot your first love. I need you to come back to Me and quit everything.” So she did. She laid down her career, stepped away from social media and spent eight months doing virtually nothing but resting, reconnecting with family and friends, and rebuilding her relationship with Jesus. Madison also opens up about just how dark her years in Los Angeles became. She shares experiences of betrayal in a relationship, being held at gunpoint, sexual assault, and constantly being told she wasn't good enough. Looking back, Madison describes her drift from God not as one dramatic decision, but as a series of “micro decisions”—small compromises made while she was exhausted, seeking affirmation and slowly taking her eyes off Jesus. The conversation turns deeply personal as Brooke shares parts of her own Hollywood story and the ways she searched for love and acceptance during a season when she had drifted from her faith. Together, Brooke, Madison and Mark unpack the shame that can keep Christians hiding, why vulnerability is actually a strength, and what it looks like to believe that no failure puts you beyond the reach of God's grace. Madison shares why she now refuses to hide the messier parts of her testimony. She believes Christians should be willing to talk honestly about addiction, sexuality, temptation, failure and the things we're often afraid to admit out loud. As she puts it, “Everyone is secretly waiting for someone to be vulnerable so they can be vulnerable.” After surrendering the career she'd worked so hard to build, Madison says God gave her a new vision for her music: to bring hope into places that feel hopeless and reach people who believe they're too far gone. Her message now is simple—you don't have to clean yourself up before coming back to Jesus. You're seen, you're loved, and your story isn't over. This is a raw conversation about what happens when success costs you yourself, why drifting from God often happens slowly, and the freedom that comes when you finally stop hiding and surrender everything back to Him.

Caleb Flynn's defense opened its case to the jury with an unusual choice: acknowledge the affair, acknowledge the lie, and then tell jurors those facts do not make him a murderer.Defense attorney Emily Smith delivered that message after Miami County Prosecuting Attorney Paul Watkins presented the prosecution's opening statement in the trial over the death of Caleb's wife, Ashley Flynn.Caleb Flynn, 40, has pleaded not guilty to 11 charges, including aggravated murder. Prosecutors allege Ashley, 37, was killed inside the couple's Tipp City home on February 16, 2026, and that Caleb carefully staged the scene to resemble a home-invasion burglary.The defense says investigators got it wrong. Smith maintains that Ashley was actually killed during a burglary and that authorities focused on Caleb too quickly.Smith also addressed something the defense apparently does not intend to spend time pretending never happened: Caleb had an affair and lied about it. Her message to the jury was blunt: “A man can fail as a husband without being a murderer.”Legally, that distinction matters. Jurors may hear evidence they find ugly, dishonest, or personally offensive. None of those reactions can replace the state's burden to prove the charged crimes beyond a reasonable doubt. Smith's opening made clear that the defense wants jurors separating Caleb Flynn's conduct within his marriage from the question of whether prosecutors can prove he killed Ashley.Watkins, meanwhile, began outlining the prosecution's version of what happened inside that home and why the state believes Caleb is responsible.Judge Jeannine Pratt also gave the jury its instructions, setting the rules for how jurors are expected to evaluate what comes next.The lawyers have now told jurors what they believe the evidence will show. The testimony and exhibits get the final word.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What does it really take to start a product business when you have no experience in the industry and no idea where to begin?In this episode, I'm joined by Louie Watkins, founder of Clear for Men, a British skincare brand with a mission to encourage more conversations around male mental health. Louie didn't have a background in skincare or business. In fact, before starting Clear for Men, he was working on the railway and thought that was where his career was heading. We talk about how Louie took his idea and turned it into a real product, from finding a UK manufacturer and developing his cleanser to getting his first customers and gradually building trust in the brand.Louie is also really open about how difficult those early stages were. His first year brought just 31 orders, and without a big advertising budget, he had to work out how to get people to discover and trust a completely new brand. We also talk about building a brand around a genuine purpose, why community comes before product for Louie, and what he's learnt about focusing on what works for your business rather than getting distracted by what everyone else is doing.If you have a product idea but feel like you don't have the experience or knowledge to make it happen, I think you'll get a lot from Louie's story.Find Louie here:Website: https://clearformen.co.ukLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/louis-watkins-29637126aInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/weareclear_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@weareclear_Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/weareclear1Chapters00:00 Meet Louie Watkins and Clear for Men00:28 Where the idea for Clear for Men came from05:17 Developing a skincare product from scratch07:59 Finding the right UK manufacturer13:46 Creating packaging and the customer experience16:27 Putting community and mission before product18:44 Conversations around male mental health and self care25:40 Finding the first customers28:30 Building an audience through live streaming32:48 The reality of growing a product business37:04 Where to spend your time as a solo founder41:10 Focusing on what actually works45:37 Business, purpose and wellbeing47:11 Louie's number one piece of advice for product founders49:36 Why you don't need to do what everyone else is doingLET'S CONNECTFollow me on YouTubeFind me on InstagramWork with me Buy My Book: Bring Your Product Idea To LifeIf you enjoy this podcast, and you'd like to leave a tip, you can do so here: https://bring-your-product-idea.captivate.fm/supportMentioned in this episode:Amazon Made Easy is now openMy membership, Amazon Made Easy is now open.

Drug diversion software can help identify risk, analyze patterns, and prioritize potential concerns—but technology alone doesn't create an effective diversion prevention program.In this episode of Drug Diversion Insights, Gordon Watkins of Wolters Kluwer joins us to explore what actually makes a drug diversion program work and why people, process, and technology all need to be part of the strategy.Drug diversion often receives significant attention after a case is discovered. The harder challenge is building the systems, processes, and organizational culture needed to identify potential problems earlier.Gordon discusses what separates a comprehensive diversion program from one that simply exists on paper—and why purchasing sophisticated diversion software doesn't eliminate the need for experienced professionals to manage the program.In this episode, we discuss:Why diversion software cannot operate effectively on its ownThe importance of people, process, and technology working togetherWhat can happen when organizations implement software and then reduce diversion program staffingHow technology can help identify activity that warrants further investigationWhy every alert still requires appropriate review and follow-upHow organizations can govern their diversion technologyHow to confirm alerts are actually being workedWhat organizations should expect during the first month of implementation versus a mature programWhy data quality is critical to effective diversion analyticsHow incomplete or inconsistent data feeds can affect monitoringWhat diversion technology needs from the organization to perform effectivelyMachine learning versus generative artificial intelligenceHow Sentri7 uses machine learning in drug diversion monitoringWhy human judgment remains essential even as analytics become more sophisticatedWhat diversion program leaders should continually re-examine as their programs evolveWe also address an increasingly important topic in healthcare technology: machine learning and artificial intelligence.Gordon explains the distinction between the machine learning used within Sentri7 and the generative AI technologies that have become widely discussed in recent years. Understanding that difference can help healthcare leaders better evaluate what their diversion technology is actually doing—and what it still requires from the people using it.Another major theme is governance.Generating an alert is only the beginning. Someone still needs to review the information, understand the clinical and operational context, determine whether additional investigation is necessary, document the outcome, and ensure potential concerns don't disappear into a queue.The same applies to data. Even sophisticated analytics depend on the quality and completeness of the information being provided.Ultimately, this conversation reinforces an important principle for healthcare organizations:Buying diversion software is not the same as building a diversion program.Technology can make monitoring and investigations more efficient, but effective diversion prevention still depends on trained people, defined processes, reliable data, appropriate governance, and organizational support.Whether your organization already uses diversion monitoring software—from Wolters Kluwer or another vendor—or is evaluating whether to implement it, this episode offers practical questions to bring back to your diversion team.An important conversation for drug diversion specialists, pharmacists, pharmacy leaders, medication safety professionals, compliance teams, nursing leaders, risk management professionals, healthcare executives, controlled substance committees, and healthcare technology leaders responsible for strengthening medication oversight and protecting patients.More from Rxpert Solutions

Paul Lee, co-founder and CEO of Patlytics, joins Greg Lambert to explain how an AI platform built specifically for intellectual property work is changing the patent lifecycle. Patlytics supports workflows spanning patent drafting, prior art analysis, office action responses, portfolio management, litigation readiness, and claim-chart preparation. Lee reports that the company now works with roughly 55 percent of the Am Law 100 and hundreds of corporations across technology, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and other patent-intensive industries.Lee traces Patlytics' origins to his experience as a venture capitalist and more than 100 conversations with patent attorneys. Those interviews exposed a practice filled with expensive, labor-intensive processes, from drafting detailed patent specifications to constructing claim charts for litigation. His interest also grew from the Apple and Samsung patent battles, the IP expenses faced by venture-backed companies, and conversations with Patlytics co-founder Arthur Jen and former Latham & Watkins patent litigator Bob Steinberg.The conversation turns to Patlytics' work involving USPTO patent examiners and the broader effect of placing AI on both sides of the examination process. While confidentiality limits the details Lee discusses, he identifies quality and the examination backlog as two areas where specialized technology offers meaningful assistance. He also contrasts Patlytics with broad legal AI platforms such as Harvey and Legora, arguing that patent professionals need tools designed for the precision, technical detail, and specialized workflows of IP practice.Human judgment stays central to Lee's vision. Patent attorneys still own the work product, approve key decisions, and remain responsible when an AI-generated analysis falls short. At the same time, client expectations continue to rise. Clients want faster work, higher quality, and lower costs, while law firms need sustainable margins. Lee sees flat-fee arrangements and more predictable workflows as one route toward sharing the “AI dividend” between clients and their outside counsel. In-house teams also gain more capacity for infringement analysis, patent-portfolio reviews during M&A, cross-licensing strategy, and litigation preparation.Looking ahead, Lee describes a striking change in attitude among patent professionals, from widespread skepticism a year ago to broad optimism today. His crystal-ball concern is less about whether lawyers will adopt AI and more about whether its economics will hold together. As free experimentation gives way to consumption-based pricing, firms will need to measure the value of each workflow and avoid spending $50,000 in AI costs on a $5,000 matter. Token maxing had its moment. ROI gets the next meeting invitation.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Substack⁠[Special Thanks to ⁠⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.]Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: Jerry David DeCicca Transcript

A Quick Note to Listeners: Before each week’s interview, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke spend some time answering a listener question. This week’s question is: What advice would a teacher want to give to a new principal? Listen in to hear their response! Meet Tyler Watkins: Tyler Watkins, Ed.D., is the principal of Petal High School, one of Mississippi's top-rated high schools and a 2022 National Blue Ribbon School. He began his career in 2011 as a teacher and baseball coach before moving into school leadership. His work centers on building belonging, creating predictable systems, and leading through stability. Dr. Watkins earned his doctorate in Educational Leadership from William Carey University, where his research focused on the academic effects of student transiency. He lives in Petal, Mississippi, with his wife, Katie, and their children, Lowe and Cohen. He is the author of Rooted Leadership in a Mobile World: Belonging, Predictability, and Purpose When Students Come and Go, scheduled for release in Fall 2026. Why This Work Matters: Dr. Watkins' passion for this topic didn't begin with theory. It began with what he was seeing every day. Students were constantly entering and leaving his school, and even in a high performing system, each new student was starting over. That led him to ask a deeper question, what are we doing to make students feel rooted, even when their lives are not. In today's landscape of school choice and increased mobility, this isn't a niche issue. It is everywhere. Whether a school is high performing or struggling, students are navigating transitions, and schools must be ready to respond. It's Not Just Academic, It's Human: One of the biggest shifts Dr. Watkins describes is recognizing that student mobility is not just an academic issue, it is a human one. New students are not simply catching up on content. They are trying to understand new teachers, new systems, and new social environments, often while carrying emotional weight from their transitions. Too often, schools focus first on academics. But Dr. Watkins emphasizes that stability has to be intentionally designed, not assumed. Start with the First 10 Days: At its most practical level, Dr. Watkins encourages leaders to focus on the first 10 days of a student's experience. Every new student should have a clear plan, not just a schedule. That plan should include intentional check ins, clear expectations, and a structured way to help them navigate the building. Without this, students are often left to figure things out on their own, which increases stress and disconnect. Every Student Needs an Adult Connection: Along with a clear plan, every student needs an immediate connection with a trusted adult. At Petal High School, Dr. Watkins and his team assign students to an administrator and counselor by alphabet, and they meet them right away. It is simple, but it matters. Students need to know someone knows their name, where to find them, and how to reach out when they need help. That connection is often the difference between feeling lost and feeling grounded. Consistency Reduces Stress: Another key insight Dr. Watkins shares is the importance of consistency across classrooms. It is overwhelming for students, especially new ones, to relearn expectations from class to class. Schools must align expectations so students can focus on learning rather than constantly adjusting to different systems. Clarity and consistency do not just support behavior, they create stability. Communicate Early with Families: Dr. Watkins also highlights the power of early communication with families. A simple message home letting a parent know their child had a great day can immediately build trust and connection. These small moments send a clear message, your child matters here, and we are paying attention. High Expectations with High Support: A common misconception is that schools must choose between being welcoming and maintaining high expectations. Dr. Watkins challenges that thinking. You do not lower expectations for new students, you increase support. You teach the systems, clarify confusion quickly, and give students the tools they need to succeed. Confusion should not be punished, it should be addressed with clarity. Leadership Sets the Tone: This work does not happen by accident. It is a leadership responsibility. Dr. Watkins emphasizes that leaders must design systems that create predictability and ensure consistency across the school. Teacher attitudes toward new students are critical. When staff see new students as opportunities instead of interruptions, it changes everything. Leaders set that tone through clarity, communication, and example. From Classroom to Campus Leadership: Reflecting on his own journey, Dr. Watkins describes a shift many leaders experience. As a teacher, the focus is on running a great classroom. As a principal, the focus becomes building a school where every classroom reflects that same level of excellence. For new leaders, he offers practical advice. Set clear expectations, follow through consistently, protect instructional time, and keep systems stable. These foundational practices create the environment where both students and staff can thrive. Belonging, Predictability, and Purpose: At the heart of this conversation are three essential elements, belonging, predictability, and purpose. Dr. Watkins emphasizes that students need to feel known. They need systems they can rely on. And they need to understand that what they are doing matters. When those elements are in place, students can succeed, even in the middle of constant change. What Students Need to Succeed: Drawing from Ruby Payne's research on under resourced learners, there are key resources every student needs in order to thrive in school. Financial resources Emotional stability and self regulation Mental and academic skills A sense of purpose or direction Physical health Support systems such as family, friends, and trusted adults Motivation, persistence, and grit Knowledge of hidden rules, expectations, and social cues within a school For students who are constantly moving, many of these supports are disrupted. That is why schools must intentionally step in to provide them. Final Thoughts: Dr. Watkins leaves us with a reminder that is both simple and powerful. Students do not need perfect schools, they need stable ones. And that is something every leader can influence.

Long before Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly had names, they had mugshots. In 1924, Chicago tabloids were consumed by Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner, two unrelated women tried for murder and both acquitted; largely because all-male juries of the era were reluctant to convict an attractive woman. Covering both trials was Chicago Tribune reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins, whose ironic dispatches later became a satirical play that folded the two cases into one fictional cell block.Watkins's 1926 play was a hit, and decades later, Gwen Verdon brought the play to her husband, Bob Fosse, who conceived the 1975 stage musical Chicago: A Musical Vaudeville, staging each number as a self-contained old-timey act commenting on the courtroom drama around it.By the time Miramax greenlit a film version of Chicago, the movie musical had been functionally extinct as a mainstream genre for years. Director Rob Marshall's dual-reality structure: staging musical numbers as Roxie's fantasy of vaudeville stardom rather than characters spontaneously singing in "real" Chicago, was a hedge against the exact audience resistance that had killed the genre in the '80s and '90s.Chicago's satire targets trial-by-tabloid and fame built on notoriety; themes that land as prescient. But the film's own star wattage, the Miramax marketing juggernaut and the sheer fun of it, arguably succeeds by being the very thing it's satirizing.Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?

Steve Walsh is a former director of football at Leicester and Everton joins the Monday Night Club to give an insight on transfer strategy. And could Erling Haaland really have signed for Everton?The opening weekend of the Premier League seemed to catch a few teams cold. Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United and, Sunderland all made stuttering starts. So why are so many managers saying their teams aren't ready for the new season? Anton McElhone, a former Premier League Head of Performance joins the Monday Night Club to analyse what the reason behind the slow starts are.TIME CODES00:00 Intro 03:00 Villa's woes 04:00 Watkins' future 11:10 The Athletic's Aston Villa reporter Jacob Tanswell 18:10 Are transfers happening later than usual? 23:20 Former director of football Steve Walsh 26:20 Smaller Clubs' recruitment process 31:50 Could Erling Haaland have joined Everton? 34:00 Are teams unfit? 44:00 De Zerbi's quotes post Brentford 49:50 Fitness in modern football

Aston Villa's 2026/27 Premier League season opened with a 4-0 defeat away at Brighton, a result that owed as much to what wasn't on the team sheet as what happened on the pitch. No recognised striker started. Ezri Konsa was long gone, while Emiliano Martínez remains missing, training alone and potentially bomb squaded along with Leon Bailey. And Ollie Watkins — absent from training, his locker cleared at Bodymoor, and deep in talks with Al Hilal — was nowhere near the squad at all.This post-mortem covers the collapse in detail: the mix-up that gifted Brighton their opener, four goals conceded in twenty-three first-half minutes, João Gomes seeing red, and a Villa side with no shots on target across the 90 minutes. It sets out why the Watkins situation looks unrecoverable, what three years of dismantled combinations actually costs a squad entering the Champions League, and what's genuinely needed before the international break arrives.New Adidas Originals collection and away kit out now Get three months free and huge savings on a two-year NordVPN plan here Become a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows - MOMS MembershipJoin the show's listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

Ollie Watkins missed the game ahead of an impending move to Saudi Arabia and his manager Unai Emery was not pleased, Troy tells him he has nothing to moan about.Plus, we get Crooky's verdict on his big day out at the MKM to watch Hull beat Man United, Troy basks in the glory of Spurs defeat to Brentford, and we pick some heroes and villains from the opening weekend.Instagram: @talkSPORTTwitter: @talkSPORT YouTubeWebsite Hosted on Acast.

What drew you to the Insights Association at this particular moment in the industry's evolution?The IA represents over 30,000 data and insights professionals. In your first months as CEO, what surprised you most about stepping into an advocacy and membership role versus a commercial one?CPG companies are under enormous pressure — tariffs, private label competition, shrinking research budgets. How is the insights function holding up, and where do you see it either gaining or losing strategic influence in the C-suite? The IA just held its Ignite: CPG event in Cincinnati. What were the dominant themes that emerged, and what does that tell us about what CPG insights leaders are most anxious about right now?You have a webinar series literally titled “Simulating Humans” — that's a provocative framing. How should CPG brands think about AI-generated synthetic respondents vs. real consumer research, and where does the IA draw the line on standards?AI is both a threat and an opportunity for the insights profession. In your view, what's the single biggest risk AI poses to the integrity of consumer data — and what is the IA doing about it?The IA has been driving the Global Data Quality Excellence Pledge and launching new resources around procurement and incentive guidelines. For CPG brands buying research, what should they actually be demanding from their vendors right now that most of them aren't?Survey fraud and data integrity issues have become a serious industry problem.

How does a fragmented U.S. privacy landscape create operational headaches for CPG brands doing consumer research at scale?The IA recently raised concerns about how the Department of Labor classifies research respondents. That's a sleeper issue with real cost implications — can you walk our listeners through what's at stake?Anita, you've been recognized for developing the next generation of insights leaders throughout your career. With burnout high among market researchers and AI changing the job description rapidly, what would you tell a young person today about why this profession is still worth pursuing?You said upon your appointment: “I've spent my career believing in the power of insights to drive better decisions and better outcomes.” For CPG brands that are deprioritizing primary research in favor of data lakes and retail media signals — what's the cost of that trade-off that they might not be seeing?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.
