Penny Scaggs had been married for 35 years when she sat down to play her piano on the evening of March 6, 1996.  Her husband, Roger, had just left the house after dinner to return to his office.  Normally, Penny would have washed the dishes right after dinner, but, with Roger away, she took advantage of the time alone to enjoy her music.Penny must have been startled when she heard the unexpected sound of footsteps approaching her from behind.  A steel pipe crushed the right side of her face, breaking her jaw.  When Roger returned home, he called 911, telling the operator that he found his wife on the floor in a puddle of her own blood.Join us at the quiet end for A Good Marriage: The Murder of Penny Scaggs.  Penny devoted her life to her marriage, which she saw as a bringing together of three: Roger, herself, and God.  But over the years, Roger appeared less devoted to this sacred union.  Stories of infidelity and dishonesty circulated around their neighborhood and church community.  He would become a predictable suspect in his wife's death early on, but would the evidence support his guilt?

In this episode Rob speaks to the co-founder of Mulberry, and sustainability pioneer Roger Saul. They discuss entrepreneurship, adaptability and of course fashion! An inspiring and educational conversation full of value for both the young and established entrepreneur alike.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Fashion has changed tremendously in the past few decades. When Roger first entered the world of fashion in the early 70s it was very exciting, everything was new and fashion was centre stage in the same way music was. Fashion nowadays is more compartmentalised and it has found its place in our lives but isn't as important as it once was.   Roger has always enjoyed buying, selling and working with something he loved. Being an entrepreneur and working in fashion just made sense to him. He started Mulberry with a singer sewing machine in his kitchen, with his mother and girlfriend, and it was soon a success. Pivoting is a key part to any successful business and entrepreneur and Roger has demonstrated this many times over, including creating Mulberry home products when people started travelling less in the 80's/90's recession. You don't have to ‘stay in your lane' in business. Roger started in fashion, moved over to homewares, then hotels, onto food and more. Being able to adapt and do so with passion, energy and knowing your customers and audience is key. Your competition can give you the best pointers on what to do and what not to do. Look at what works for them, what they do well but also the mistakes they make. Opportunities don't often drop into your lap, you have to be creative and make them happen yourself.   BEST MOMENTS   “Everything I have done, been involved with business wise I have really enjoyed the ride” “Fashion is always good at translating what happens next”   “You've gotta keep reinventing yourself”   “You have to be resilient if you want to be an entrepreneur and survive”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks     ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Lisa Loughran, whose son Roger was born with the rare joint-and-muscle disease AMC (arthrogryposis multiplex congenita), visits RadioRotary to tell about the annual event for raising awareness and funds, Roger's Run. When Roger was born in 2010, he displayed the form of AMC in which the joints are “frozen” in a way that all the limbs are completely extended. The condition, which also causes muscles to atrophy, was diagnosed before birth, leading Mrs. Loughran to seek out the AMC Support Group, which has helped immensely. Local doctors learned more about the disease and have gone beyond ordinary duties as Roger has gone through numerous surgeries. Despite the problems. Roger is active in Red Hook school and sports, inspiring the Red Hook Community. Roger's Run includes several levels of both virtual and physical runs or just an opportunity to donate to an excellent cause.

It is quite common these days to hear people talking about the creative process. Anyone from graphic designers to app designers legitimately use the phrase to describe what it takes to be successful at what they do. But a long-time area of fascination for me has been the creative process that goes into making timeless music. And when that process is done in the context of a group of people - a band - it’s nothing short of amazing. I’m immensely honored to be able to present you with this conversation I recorded with Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. formerly of the bands Jellyfish and Imperial Drag. He’s been one of the songwriters I’ve respected the most and I was thrilled to have this chat with him. You’ll hear Roger describe what’s going on under the surface of the creative process for most artists as well as his description of the path he’s walked to become an in-demand musician who’s requested to play on albums for well-known artists and unknown hopefuls alike.  Topics Featured In This Episode [2:31] The first instrument Roger learned to play - from pots and pans to today [5:18] Hearing all kinds of music and expanding his musical horizons [9:10] Roger’s first jazz lessons and instruction [11:51] Trying to write a song and the drive to become a better songwriter [16:35] Roger’s self-education in experimenting with musical palettes (arranging) [24:40] Did Roger know he was creating something special on past albums? [36:40] The pain behind the creative process for many artists, including him [46:55] Artists Roger would love to play with Writing songs that endure: The goal of every songwriter When Roger speaks about songwriting, his eyes instantly light up. You can tell that it’s a topic that still captivates him 30 years after the formation of his first band, Jellyfish. As he recounts the first time he tried to write an original song of his own, he admits that it was amateur and awful. He was embarrassed even to ask for constructive criticism. But that didn’t deter him from trying again. Something inside told him that he’d have to fail a lot to find success, and he was willing to put in his reps. Fast forward to today and the music he created with his Jellyfish bandmates are some of the most timeless songs I know. The heart and soul of the music and the way it connects with the human condition are testaments to the benefit of all those years of hard work. In this conversation, Roger shares openly about his journey into music across the years, and to a deeper knowledge of himself as an artist and a human being. I hope you take the time to listen. What do AC/DC and the Beatles have in common? Outstanding musical arrangements One of the most fascinating parts of the conversation I had with Roger about his creative process had to do with the issue of arranging. You’ll hear me bring up AC/DC as an example of straightforward rock and roll, and the comment set Roger up to educate me on the intricacies and nuances of arranging songs in ways that connect with listeners on a deep level. We walk through the styles of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, and more as Roger uncovers the details behind what makes a song truly good. It was a delightful journey I’d go on again anytime. At the time, did Roger realize he was making timeless music? Roger is quick to say that during the creative process you never know if what you’re after is even going to materialize, much less whether or not it’s going to become one of those timeless melodies that connect with people across generations (Think, “Yesterday” by the Beatles). It’s a process of discovery, one that takes the songwriter and artists as much by surprise as it does anyone else. But he also says that sometimes, after you’ve finished a song project, you just know it’s right, it’s the way it’s supposed to be. There’s a sense of finality and confidence that flow out of the process and into the way you feel about it after it’s done. Listen to hear Roger explain it as only a skilled and experienced songwriter can. Timeless songs connect with people on a deeper level The songs that endure are the ones that connect with us deeply. They speak to our experience, providing us an opportunity to hear an expression that represents what we would have said - or written - if we could have. If you’ve ever heard a song that made you feel that way, you know what I mean. I find Roger’s music to be those kinds of songs for me. They guide me along my journey, helping me to express my own thoughts and feelings about the pains and joys I’ve experienced along the way. He’s one of the musical greats I have long looked up to and this conversation was something I’ll never forget. I hope you listen.

The Geektown Radio podcast returns this week to discuss the latest tv reviews, film news, UK TV premiere date info, and US TV news as Dave is joined by Darryl from Hollywood News Source as co-host. We also have not one but two interviews with composers whose films premiered this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival, Roger Suen & Piers Burbrook de Vere.Roger Suen is best known for scoring Justin Chon's 2017 Sundance award-winning film, 'Gook'. This year, Roger reunites with Chon to score the emotional Asian-American family drama 'Ms. Purple' which premiered at Sundance last weekend. The movie tells the story of Kasie, a young girl who has to seek help from her estranged brother when her bedridden father's caretaker unexpectedly quits. The siblings are forced to reconnect and reconcile the suppressed trauma that led to their separation.When Roger isn't working on his own films, he helps out other composers, providing additional music for their scores. This has led to his work being featured in Guillermo Del Toro’s four-time Oscar-winning film 'The Shape of Water', Netflix’s five-time Emmy-nominated series 'Daredevil' and Emmy-nominated series 'The Defenders'. Through his mastery of orchestral composition and modern electronica, he has also created heart-pounding additional music for Oscar-nominated 'X-Men' and 'Maze Runner' film franchises.Australian composer Piers Burbrook de Vere most recently scored award-winning director Abe Forsythe's zombie comedy 'Little Monsters', starring Lupita Nyong'o ('Black Panther'), Josh Gad ('Frozen'), and Alex England ('Alien: Covenant'). Whilst the movie has zombies and comedy, it also needed the actors to play musical instruments on screen. That included Lupita playing the ukulele, and Alex playing the guitar... with the minor issue that Alex couldn't play the guitar when they started filming, so we chat with Piers about what they did to solve that!Piers previously scored Forsythe's award-winning provocative black comedy, 'Down Under'. Additionally, he has exhibited works across the US and Europe as an artist and performer, and has toured internationally with the acclaimed Australian Chamber Orchestra.

(CNN)Kheris Rogers can't forget the grade school humiliation. During an assignment where the students had to draw themselves, the teacher handed the shy dark-skinned girl a black crayon instead of a brown one. "I was the darkest of all of them," the stunning 11 year old recalls of her classmates. "But they were all African-American." Rogers had earlier transferred from another school to escape the incessant bullying. It didn't work. Her complexion set her apart, a label she couldn't shed. But now Rogers owns her label, literally. Her clothing line is called "Flexin' In My Complexion." The brand has caught fire among some big celebrities. "Flex in your complexion" were originally words of advice from Roger's grandmother. As a young girl, Rogers turned to her grandmother for some encouraging words. "Flex in your complexion" was the advice that made the shy girl feel beautiful in her own skin if only for a moment. Read MoreThe saying became a family phrase. The phrase became a hashtag, #FelxinInHerComplexion. When Roger's sister Taylor Pollard tweeted it out with some family photos, the response was overwhelming. Twitter users complemented Roger's skin and hair, saying she was beautiful. Many said they had been through similar bullying and teasing for their skin color when they were young."When she saw those comments, she was like, 'Oh my god, this is what people really think about me,'" Pollard told CNN.That was when the two sisters decided to put their message, "Flexin' In My Complexion," on T-shirts. They started the business in late April of 2017, and it's taken off.They've sold over 10,000 shirts and made over $100,000, Pollard said. Celebrities take noticeJust days after the shirts first went on sale, rapper Snoop Dogg posted about Rogers on Instagram."A 10 y.o.girl bullied about her dark skin has created a fashion line in hopes of instilling confidence in other young girls facing the same," he said.

American Fiasco isn’t Roger’s only podcast gig. Along with his great friend (and fellow bald) Michael Davies, he hosts the soccer show Men in Blazers. That show’s unofficial slogan -- “Soccer. America’s sport of the future, as it has been since 1972” -- is based on the hilarious expectation that soccer is forever tomorrow’s sport. Always on the horizon, having never quite arrived. When Roger first came to the U.S. in the 1993, Americans were not just inured to soccer’s charms. They actively disliked it. Roger was fascinated by their malice -- and about what’s important to Americans in sports. Even today, with the rise of MLS and growth of the game nationwide, soccer still has its skeptics who savor a good dig at the game. In this bonus episode, Roger sits down with Dan Katz, better known as Big Cat. The Barstool Sports personality and host of Pardon My Take explains why he and other Americans won’t take soccer seriously, in part because of its time-honored association with orange slices and Oreos.  

  Hi Folks!   Repertory with Roger is back, with case #311 from his Clinical Case Comparison Project.   I open the episode with a snippet of the conversation with Roger where he responds to  my comment that there seems to be a bit of magic in this whole process.   Doesn’t homeopathy reek of magic? Especially when you see a Master at work. Like becoming musician or a martial artist, there are years that go into learning fundamentals before you begin to click into another gear and all of your fundamentals fuel a kind of intuitive ease and knowing that you simply cannot access without having put in that time.   The case we’re going to go over is: Homoeopathic Recorder 1939, vol. 9., p. 32. Julia M. Green: Cases helped by unusual remedies   A slender, graceful woman of 35 years, unmarried, skin soft and smooth, has extremely poor inheritance. She seems to have both venereal miasms and psora mixed; never strong, always ailing. Some of the marked, recurrent symptoms: Swelling of eyelids, upper and lower. Itching edges of lids. Injection of conjunctivae. Aching eyeballs with photophobia, sensation of cold air blowing in them. Skin so dry must grease it; on face as if thick and tightly drawn. Throat: pulsations. Itching all over after shower bath. Spells of great nervousness in the night, as if she would lose her mind, shrieking, tossing arms about, could not control them, sensation as if she would fly to pieces. Back, upper dorsal: sensation of great weakness; aching, must support it with hands when sitting and in bed. Full of mucus; some in eyes, much in throat, stomach; leucorrhoea profuse. Hungry all the time but abdomen distended easily after eating. Swelling ankles, hands, as well as eyes and face. Taste bad; breath offensive.   xxxxx, given on symptoms of face and the hysterical symptoms at night, created a marked general improvement.     As always, I like to share some of the key take-aways for me that you can listen for throughout the conversation.   The first point springs off of a common point that comes up in these repertory conversations, the difference between using clinical vs. descriptive rubrics.   In this case, it was more knowing the *meaning* between what the rubric is saying and what is true to your case. It can be easy to go to the clinical rubric, but it may not be accurate to your patient.   We talked about my use of a rubric for ‘chorea’ vs. what Roger chose, ‘involuntary action.’           It’s about the importance of knowing the meaning of the words and the correct application to the case and patient.   One way to ensure this is to stay true to the descriptive approach, and away from clinical rubrics.   Another example is the use of a rubric to address the descriptor ‘drawn’ as applied to the skin …   This was again about details. I used a ‘Face- drawn’ rubric, but in fact, that ‘drawn’ aspect of the patient was in the skin.   Clarify exactly what part of the body, what aspect is being described.   We also touched on rubric size. With really small rubrics, Roger reminded us to think about how specific they really are, and think about how specific they are to the case. Match specificity… we must use rubrics with similar care and intention to those aspects we are pulling out of the case.   There’s another level of knowledge, use and understanding of the repertory beyond the ‘rules’ of using the repertory, which I referred to as a kind of magic :)   Roger says even before we get to the repertory and rules of the reperotry, there is what is going on in the case? - Which has nothing to do with the Repertory.   Knowledge- intuition- practical experience all play off each other.   Knowing what is happening in a case is our approach to analysis, and the kind of cases I’ve been doing with Roger are quite straightforward. We’re not talking about any kind of specialized analysis approach like periodic table, a sensation etc.   With these older cases, the write ups lack the kind of detailed mental / emotional, and life situation story that we are used to hearing. It may feel like- what are we basing the analysis on?   Part of what draws me to doing these cases is that they are ‘stripped down’ in a sense though they provide enough information to work up the case.   If we are to be effective homeopaths, we must be able to shift and hone in on what’s essential in a variety of different cases, regardless of how they are presented. Provided they aren’t one-sided cases, the essential skills that we have to develop are the ability to pull out relevant information, and also discern a totality with that information.   These cases are hard for me- I’ll put that right out there. I’m used to the cases that I take, the types of cases that I take, and the abundance of information I use to analyze and figure out the totality.   I also dont’ rely only on the repertory to choose a remedy. I repertorize all my cases, usually a few different ways. The repertory provides a springboard, from which I consult MM; I might see a plant that leads me to look at others in the family… I might consult the periodic table in a more systemic way.   None of this is easily done with these cases… they lend themselves toward straight up repertorization only, and *knowing* that is a completely viable and reliable way to find remedies- big small and/or rare- is what brings me back to these exercises, to hone my own skills and continually push the edges of what i know and am capable of as a homeopath at this point.   Our connection was disrupted for a bit towards the end and we had to end and reconnect the call. When Roger returned, I asked him to read out the rubrics he chose for the case-   In another point, Roger suggested that herbs that have been used for medicinal purposes should always be considered for provings, rather than the ‘interesting’ ones that people tend to want to do   This opinion also expressed by Frans Vermeulen, who we’ll hear from next month-  and it was interesting to hear that opinion in both of these contexts.   I always recommend taking the time to try and work up the case yourself and see how you did. You can find a screenshot of Roger’s repertorization at this link to his Facebook page:   https://www.facebook.com/groups/Completedynamics/permalink/1096653537049416/?comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22O%22%7D   —-   As I’ve said, next month I’ll be back with my interview with Frans Vermeulen- very excited to bring that to you all.   If you have a few moments, I’d love it if you took a moment to write a review for the podcast on iTunes, to help others find the podcast and decide if it’s something worth listening to.   As always, thanks for listening and sharing with your friends. Until next time, be well and stay observant!!  

The greatest success in our lives is often found through our greatest obstacles. When Roger started coaching over 30 years ago he had a client who had made incredible progress in her life. Even though the client was happy Roger had a hard time accepting that he was fit to be a coach -- he didn’t feel worthy but life found a way to help him discover how to move through any adversity. Roger believes that there is a self-guidance mechanism that is activated when the right question is asked and he greatest hope that to be able to help others discover this mechanism for themselves.   Roger will invite many guests who have either done this self guidance into success for themselves, people who have inspired him or a client he has been able to help.   For more information please visit: http://www.overcomingeverything.com Twitter: @RogerBurnley@OvercomingEverything
