What if the thing that's been holding you back… is a story you started believing about yourself years ago?In this week's Turbo Tip, I share an eye-opening story from my childhood about how one moment in a Chevy convertible with my dad shifted the trajectory of my life. Without realizing it, I buried a dream at five years old… only to reclaim it decades later, land a record deal, and knock Whitney Houston off the #1 spot on the Billboard charts.This episode isn't just a story. It's a roadmap for anyone who feels like life keeps throwing curveballs and knocking them off track.

The year was... Czechoslovakia was dissolved, creating the Czech and Slovak Republics. Martin Luther King Jr. Day became a federal holiday. What was known as the Great Blizzard took place March 12th and 13th of this year. The first World Trade Center bombing took place. The #1 song was I Will Always Love You, by Whitney Houston and if you still haven't gotten it by now...Bill Clinton was sworn in as the 42nd President of the United States.

“This is a calling. It's bigger than anything in your life as an individual. If you found the thing that you were put on this planet to do, and a lot of people are put on this planet and they don't know, it's such a gift to find it.”Nick Grimshaw and Annie Macmanus speak to global music icon Chaka Khan about her life and career.Born Yvette Marie Stevens in the US city of Chicago in 1953, her big break came at the age of 20 when her band Rufus signed its first record deal. With her powerful vocals and striking stage presence, she quickly caught the public's attention.The band enjoyed commercial and critical success in the years that followed, before Chaka decided to go it alone around a decade later… a decision which transformed her life and career.Worldwide hits such as I'm Every Woman and I Feel For You followed, as well as collaborations with legends like Whitney Houston and Prince, multiple Grammy Awards, and an induction into the Rock ‘n' Roll Hall of Fame.As a new musical telling her story begins its run, the 73-year-old has a lot to reflect on.Thank you to the Sidetracked team for their help in making this programme.

There are noteworthy changes in every decade of modern music, but the seismic shifts and chaos of the 1990s were unparalleled. Whether it was the music of your youth, your kids' youth, your parents' youth or even your grandparents' youth, most everyone has noticed (either at the time or now, in retrospect) that the '90s were just different. It was the decade that saw Generation X hand over the music reins to millennials. MTV went from a driving force in music to more of a footnote, and music videos lost importance in the gap years between emphasis on cable channels and the advent of YouTube and streaming in the 2000s. Stylistically, hip-hop was a juggernaut, swinging from gangsta rap to a mainstream phenomenon that permeated into R&B, pop and even rock. Also, fueled by the momentum of Madonna in the 1980s, pop in the 1990s became dominated by women artists - with Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion taking turns at the top of the charts, and wholesome teen singers like Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, who ushered the genre into the 1990s, had been replaced by decidedly less wholesome singers like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera by decade's end. Latin artists also became permanent fixtures in the mainstream, and thanks to Garth Brooks, country reinvented itself into yet another huge crossover genre, with "hat acts" ruling the roost in the mainstream. And in rock music, huge shifts came in waves. The "hair metal" bands that controlled rock in the late 1980s were all but wiped out by grunge in the early 1990s, flipping the genre's script from mindless, flashy formula pop-with-guitars to something far more introspective, anxious and angry. But grunge was at the forefront for only a few year, and soon enough all manner of "modern rock," "alt-rock" and "college rock" bands - from Weezer to Radiohead to Beck - brought freshness and ingenuity to the sonic landscape. Meanwhile, the 1990s saw the rise of traveling mega-festivals such as Lollapalooza to the Vans Warped Tour. And the Lilith Fair emphasized the unprecedented prominence of women in rock, who came in hard with gritty sounds and raw self-assuredness beyond the jangly pop-rock of 1980s bands like The Go-Go's and The Bangles. This week on "How We Heard It," your hosts - who were young men in the 1990s and at Ground Zero in the music business - shine a light on what was going on in the tumultuous 1990s and how everything seemed to forever change, across the board, in music.

Creativity through the lens of a musician and songwriter"Being creative is so lucky"Robin Batteau's“Banned in Sparta” is a new collaborative album of songs based on poems by Classical Greek poets and recorded by a number of friends: Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen, Livingston and Kate Taylor, Matt Nakoa, Robin Lane, 2-time Tony winning actor James Naughton and his gifted children Keira and Greg, plus Carolyn Hester.  Robin was inspired by an Ancient Greek History class he took when he returned to Harvard during the Pandemic to finish a degree he started in the 1960s. Robin earned the World Record of taking a 50-year break (between 1970 to 2021) to return to Harvard and finish his degree in 2022.   “Banned In Sparta” focuses almost entirely on poets from Ancient Greece between 700 and 400 BC.  One poet, Gaius Valerius Catullus (84 – 54 BC), as smitten with the ghost of Sappho as Robin or Alcaeus, is from Rome during Julius Caesar's reign, for whom Eric Andersen performs “Cross (of Gold),” an ode to interlaced and conflicted feelings, “Odi et Amo"— I hate and I love.The title “Banned in Sparta” finds its name from Archilochus, the Bob Dylan of the 7th century B.C., a warrior-poet so irreverent he was “Banned in Sparta.”  James Naughton sings the song “Archilochus Re-Deemed (I Am a Servant of the Lord God of War).” Kate Taylor performs “Telesilla's On the Wall,” from the female poet Telesilla, who led her fellow women warriors to victory against those same renowned Spartans. “The Greek Lyric poets performed live, and were the stars of their day,” says Robin. “They were singer/songwriters, they played the lyre (hence "Lyric") and danced around the stage like Tom Paxton and Taylor Swift.”Robin, who studied Ancient Greece and Integrative Biology at Harvard, found that most of what was left of the poems were fragments and myth, “So I mosaic-ed songs to reflect their expressions and intentions— who they were, and are to me.”  A range of female poets contributed to the lyrical history of Greece including Corrina, whose “In Her Loving Arms” is sung by Carolyn Hester, and Praxilla's “The Most Beautiful Thing in the World,” a hymn to Adonis, sung by Keira Naughton.  Sappho's writing inspires “Terra Cotta Heart,” sung by Robin Lane.  Livingston Taylor sings “My Sappho, Sweetly Smiling” from the smitten neighbor and rival Alcaeus. The fun and frolicking “Shake your Hair (You Thracian Filly),” sung by Tom Paxton. Pianist and folk singer Matt Nakoa offers a Bruce Hornsby-like treatment for Simonides of Ceos's “Theatre of Memory (Man of Gold).”    Sharing Grammy, Emmy, Clio, and Gold Record Awards and an Oscar nomination, Robin's recorded over a dozen albums with Pierce Arrow, David Buskin (Buskin & Batteau), and many others.  His jingles feature in long-running, award-sweeping advertising campaigns from "I'm Lovin' It" for McDonalds to “Can't Beat It” for Coca-Cola to "The Heartbeat of America" for Chevrolet. He's played his 1898 Scarampella violin with everyone from Yo-Yo Ma to Benny Goodman to Bruce Springsteen and has had his melodies sung by Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Judy Collins, Paul Newman, and more. His songs have supported charities and causes, including World Hunger Year, Ocean Alliance, Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, and Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for kids. The Boston Globe defines his music with David Buskin as "Acoustic Heaven."https://robinbatteau.com/https://www.facebook.com/robin.batteauSend us Fan Mail

Never join a cult designed for 144,000 people. In this one, Ian and Liv talk about a shockingly recent cult, where the leader was not only a crazy white lady, but also an alcoholic, conspiracy theorist, and an abusive thief. Her followers were tricked into giving everything they owned,and it was all for the false promise of taking up residency in the 5th Dimension with Robin Williams, Jesus Christ, Whitney Houston, Buddha, and Trump. Clearly, this is all very legitimate. Also, Liv endorses pickle ball. Ian aspires to be a Babylonian whore. Dakota thinks this is all bullshit.

Contar la vida de una leyenda de la música no es fácil, pero hay películas que, en lugar de ser un homenaje, terminan siendo un auténtico "palomazo" desafinado. A veces por falta de presupuesto, otras por un guion flojo o por un casting que nomás no dio el ancho, estas producciones nos dejaron pidiendo el reembolso.

She grew up working the land on a family farm in North Carolina, earned a BS in Chemistry from Howard University, became a research chemist, an entrepreneur, an adjunct professor, and then found her way into healthcare leadership. Nine years ago, she underwent open heart surgery that changed everything. In this episode, Avonia talks about why faith isn't passive, why she chooses joy as an active daily decision, how the discipline she learned in a cucumber row is the same discipline she uses to break down complex business problems, and why the human factor in AI is no different from Whitney Houston transforming Chaka Khan's original into something new while honoring the source. https://marxadvisory.com

Three years. That's how long Learn has been putting up with this circus—and somehow, she's still here. In this episode of The Rizzuto Show comedy podcast, we actually take a moment (a brief, uncomfortable moment) to acknowledge the milestone with some genuine appreciation, questionable sincerity, and just enough emotional whiplash to make everyone regret being vulnerable.Of course, because this is a daily comedy show and not a therapy session, things immediately go off the rails.Enter Tim Virgin's “Back That Track Up,” a game that sounds simple—until your brain starts melting trying to identify songs played backwards. What follows is a rollercoaster of confidence, chaos, and increasingly desperate guesses as the crew battles through 16 tracks ranging from absolute classics to “wait… I know this… why don't I know this?”There are clutch moments. There are lifeline saves. There are wildly confident wrong answers. And then there's that one song—you know, the one that's so obvious it physically hurts when it gets missed. Yeah… that happens.Along the way, we detour into stories about Tom Petty, Whitney Houston, bizarre celebrity moments, and the kind of off-topic tangents that make this funny podcast feel less like a show and more like hanging out with your most chaotic group chat.By the end, someone manages an impressive 13 out of 16—but not without controversy, lifeline drama, and at least one identity crisis over Rick Astley's name.If you're here for a comedy podcast that mixes nostalgia, music, sarcasm, and just enough dysfunction to keep things interesting, congratulations—you've found your people.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I'm delighted to welcome as my guest, Emily Muir. Emily serves as the Director of Sales and marketing at Ontogen Medtech. Her work focuses on enhancing business performance through strategic new business sales and channel partner collaborations. Throughout her career, she has developed expertise in business reviews, retail strategies, and employee training. Her goal is to contribute to organizational success by leveraging her skills in building partnerships, and driving growth across competitive markets. All right, well, welcome to the show. It's so great to have you here today, Emily. Thanks for being here. [00:01:31] Emily Muir: Thank you so much for having me, Lindsey. I'm so excited to be here. [00:01:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yes. Well, absolutely thrilled to have you on and I was just wondering if you'd start off by telling us a little bit about yourself, your background and what led you to medtech. [00:01:48] Emily Muir: Oh yeah, this is gonna be a good one. I would love to. So, full name. My name is Emily Muir. I am the Director of Sales and Marketing at Ontogen Medtech. We're located in the suburbs of Chicago and Ontogen Medtech is a contract development and manufacturing company that helps medtech innovators really bring their visions and their devices to life. My path to this position is not linear, however, not even close, which I've really come to view as my superpower. Really started out in retail merchandising, my degree in retail merchandising, and I started merchandising women's shoes and handbags in probably every department store in the Midwest that you can think of. So I know where all the good deals are, essentially. Yes, which is great to have if you're a girlfriend of mine. But about 10 years into that, I pivoted into medical device sales. I'm starting to cut my teeth on dental implant sales. And then I moved into the optical space and now seeing how really the sauce is made with product development. And really, I fell in love with the industry being able to have an impact on a patient's life, see it in real time, educating their physicians and staff. And really the complexity that comes with that is really what stole my heart. So along the way, I worked at a startup called Avulux. They're a migraine lens company, and that's really where I caught that startup bug like a lot of people do. This really gave me wonderful insight into what makes startup companies successful, really from a commercial standpoint. And then in late 2025, I left and joined Ontogen MedTech, and now I'm here building our entire sales and marketing function from the ground up, which is a daunting challenge and task. And that's kind of what I thrive on. So they really nailed it, in my opinion, the right candidate for the position here. But, you know, outside of work, I really love to foster dogs. I'm very passionate about rescuing dogs. I have two rescues of my own, and there's something about giving a second chance to something that's really been overlooked that really resonates with me. And personally I really love watching the rescue dogs decompress and really melt into incredible companions. Truly, I just think that they need the right partner and the right environment in order to thrive and be successful. [00:04:38] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. I love that. And so I'm curious-- I have so many questions of course, but okay, so we're gonna start with the, well, I guess we'll go back first. So you started with retail merchandising and you worked for a lot of different corporations. What were some of the lessons that you learned for that, and during all those experiences that translated really well into medtech sales and now marketing and whatnot? [00:05:07] Emily Muir: One word, relationships. Those are crucial. Working in the back rooms of department stores, as a retail merchandising rep, you had to figure out who to talk to quickly. Who was the right person, you know, was it a sales rep to promote your product on the floor? How did I get frontline exposure? And do I need to get out there and get dirty to sell my product? Fostering those relationships really helped me understand how to be successful in sales, and that is something through and through no matter what industry you are in, and especially in the medtech product development, you, you have to have strong relationships in order to get your point of view across, in order to effectively communicate your value proposition and to know who to talk to help founders find you. There are so many, there are so many people building in this space and you always hear the noise out there of people saying, "You need to find the right partners. You need to find the right support." And who's gonna help you determine that, who's truly gonna help lead you through all of this? It's finding the people that have the direct access to the founders to help them get into your pipeline so that you can really have that direct experience with them and help them bring their products to life. So if I don't know who those players are and they can't find me, I can't be successful in my role at all. So that's, that is something I always think about coming into this every single day. What can I give to someone else? Who can I talk to? What part of my network can I reach out to so that I can give the right resources, I can give the right message, and we can all grow collectively. [00:07:13] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. And I think to your point, it is so important to nurture those relationships, as in general, I would say that's just good life advice. But at the same time, yeah, but at the same time, I would say what I appreciate about this industry is that yes, there's so many players in this space and it's huge, but at the same time it feels small. So your relationships really do matter in terms of like how you're coming across, how you're perceived, but just in general building that know, like, and trust factor, which again, is really important for your sales and marketing strategy too. So yeah, I love the fact that's a key thing that you took away. And, you know, sometimes I feel like things in our past that aren't directly related to what we're doing now might feel, I don't know, like, "Oh, I don't, what did I get from that? Or how does this help me?" But to your point, so many skills learned along the way that help you now, yeah. [00:08:09] Emily Muir: Absolutely. I, you know, when I made the decision to go from the retail merchandising world in a hard pivot into medical device sales, I really had to step back and say, "Oh, okay. What are those transferable skills that I can use to, to get me there? You know, what do I already know in terms of a process that I can parlay into this, and how can I create that story so that, you know, that my future boss, the recruiter is going to understand where I've been and where I want to go." So that, that was crucial. The story of that is crucial in order to help someone else understand how to leverage you within their company too. [00:08:59] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. So, okay, so let's talk about maybe that transition too between having worked in maybe larger corporations or for larger companies and then going from that to startup life, which is often an adjustment. So I'd just be curious to know how has that been and what lessons have you learned from that journey? [00:09:23] Emily Muir: Oh yeah. That there really is, 'cause I did go from a very large company. I worked for Esler Luxottica for six years as a sales rep for them. One of the, you know, arguably the largest player in the optical world to, to a startup. And what I really took away is that, well, some of the lessons of working in a big company really do work while coming into a startup life. And that is really how do you self-direct yourself and learn because in a big company, you know, sometimes there isn't always someone there to hold your hand and navigate that. And, you know, I did the same thing from not only changing industries, going from retail merchandising into implants, implant sales. And then I went into another industry of the optical world, which is very different. So I had to learn a whole new vernacular. I had to get certified in order to be a speaker there in order to understand what I was talking about. And having the self-direction of, "Okay, I need to get this done. Who do I need to talk to within my own company? What resources do I already have and what do I need to figure out in order to get my job done or create myself?" were lessons I had already experienced within that big company. And maybe many don't think that's something you're gonna learn there, but it actually sets you up really nicely to be in a startup because those are all things you have to navigate on your own and show how you succeeded in that. So kind of with those lessons and having that under my belt already coming and leading within a startup space, I was really able to sit back and say, "Okay, so if I, everything I do, I imagine that I have, you know, multiple staff already, right? That, you know, if I have a new employee, what resources do I need to have in order to help them out?" And that really helps direct my every day. So, having that startup experience I loved it again, you know, got that bug and I just wanted more of it. And I did have my founder, one of my founders say the other day, he was like, "You know, you are just made for that. You're made for taking on this." Like, I go, "Yeah. What else do we need to have done? What do we need to create, you know, what do we, yeah, let's get in there. Let's get dirty." I think it's really about getting in there and getting your hands dirty and just saying, "What else? How do I?" And then being as resourceful as you can to get it done, because there's always somebody who knows something. There's always someone who's kind of done something before. You know, that's really where we can, your startup experience puts all of those pieces together for you. [00:12:22] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's great. Oh, I love that. And yeah, so, okay, so that reminded me too of like, you know, your point of, you know, really getting in there, being self-directed, all of that good stuff. When you first joined the medical device industry I'm curious what your experience was. How was that learning curve for you? Because I remember coming into it and like. I would start listening in on conversations and learning and try, you know, absorbing. And there was a lot of that right at the beginning. And I remember sometimes people would say a full sentence that was just acronyms or ISO something and I was like, "I have no idea what you're saying right now." So anyway, it was, it's lots of learning and curiosity helped to bridge that gap. But for you, what was that like? [00:13:10] Emily Muir: I do pride myself on being pretty good at social cues. So, you know, you go, "Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, we can. Yeah!" And you just really take note of every word that's being said and and really look it up later. Or, "Tell me more about that." You know, getting, it's the curiosity aspect of it, but you do have to do your homework. You do have to, you know, you're in your every day and you have to acknowledge that there is additional homework when you get home or have a friend. I always like to say I would have a friend to ask for dumb questions. We all know the saying, like, "There is no such thing as a dumb question." There are I think sometimes, or at least you feel that, you know that the feeling of the dumb question is real. So really having someone either who's in it with you starting out, or who you can really use to, to help you understand, who can guide you if you can have a mentor. Otherwise, somebody who you can just call who's been in there maybe one more day than you have and say, "Hey, can you help me understand what they said here?" You know, I think this is the context. I'm a big believer in doing your own research first, trying to figure it out yourself, and then going to someone and asking for greater context, asking for a layman's term of it. But it's, it is important that you understand that you're gonna be doing extra research on your own, and that's a really important part of getting into a new industry is being able-- whether you're a founder or you know, you're. You know, a leader in something new or I you just have to dive in and understand there's gonna be extra work, but it's gonna be worth it. And honestly, in my opinion, I think you learn faster that way because you can digest it on your own. [00:15:11] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Okay. So I love the idea of having a buddy and I was very, I think, lucky that when I first joined the industry, there were the, I was really surrounded by, I would say, buddies. You know, colleagues who were just super, open and happy to answer anything or explain anything more. And I remember just having this notebook of just like so many notes about all the things, but you're right, you have to be self-directed in that too and recognize that there is a learning curve, but also give yourself grace for that learning curve because, I think, unfair perhaps to-- and I'm very guilty of this. I expect a lot of myself, so, so, you know, I'm like, "Here we go." And, you know, gungho and like wanting to be as accurate as possible, as quickly as possible, which is a good thing. But at the same time, giving yourself grace to know that, yeah, you're probably gonna slip up every once in a while. You're gonna call something the wrong name. Okay. That's okay too. Just being o- okay with that. Yeah. [00:16:09] Emily Muir: Oh yeah, absolutely. It's wonderful and that I had one person in particular that really took me under her wing and helped direct me. She was a former manager at another company and really was like, "Emily, you need to go here, Emily, you need to look this up, Emily. This is how this is." You know? And saying, "Okay yeah. Just tell me where to go. You know who to talk to, you know, and I'll do it." And we've created a really nice working relationship in that way. But not everybody has that. So it is wonderful to give yourself grace and know that there will be a point where it all clicks. And that's what I think about every single day is that, you know, maybe it's six months, maybe it's a year in where all of a sudden, you explain something flawlessly or you get that, you know, customer, you explain everything. You know, like the pro, like it's every, the world aligns, you get that sale. Or you know, and like somebody looks at you like normal again, like, you know, those are the wonderful moments. And they will all happen. So as a leader, I think it's also good to understand that if you bring someone on that's new to really try to set them up for success and that most people don't want, you know, they're so hard on themselves coming into something new and to just make sure you guide them appropriately. You know, let them know, maybe sometimes people cry. It's tough, you know, like it's, and you're laughing and I hope everyone else who's listening is laughing too 'cause there's always that one moment where you're like, "I swear I'm gonna, I hit my breaking point today" when you're trying something new, like the world is not working out, maybe you slipped up and said something, you sent the wrong email to someone. You know, there, there is always something and you know, understand that these things happen. You know, we don't need to beat ourselves up about it and to gently correct. We can correct or, you know, say, "Hey, I, you know, maybe we could say it like this or, you know, I understand how you might have used that in this context, but this is what, you know," just generally redirect. [00:18:35] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that and I, that's beautiful leadership advice in general and something that I think isn't talked about enough. I think there's a lot of talk about, you know, mentorship and sort of, empowering people. There's a lot of great leadership advice out there, of course, but I really like the way that you put it and really like you said, just helping your team be set up for success. And so I'm actually curious. That's a good segue. So now you, as a leader, are building out a sales and marketing department, so to speak, it's at least at some point. So as you're growing and continuing to go down that pathway, that's really exciting. So tell me a little bit about how your process is going in terms of setting not only the yourself up for success, but the department and you have hires coming in for success and like, how are you thinking about all of that? Because that's a lot. That's no small undertaking. [00:19:34] Emily Muir: It is no small undertaking. And honestly I'm really excited for those days to come. I believe me when I get the "A, okay," I've got plans for what I need and in all of it, asap. I really, first of all, I want to embrace my non-linear path. And I, when you're looking to build a team, it's always important to come first with a realization about what you bring to the table, and I think embracing that. I'm very fortunate with my founders and principal that they really trust me and understand that I bring something very different than they do, and that was very strategic for them. I work with so many engineers and know that I can have the best minds available, but we really need to have different personalities, a different set of reps over on this side so that we can really drive and communicate the mission and vision effectively. So, you know, knowing I don't come from a very linear path, I think it's important to not only look for those people also, but also look for personalities sometimes that do. And you know, because I do, I need a complimentary team to what I bring to the table here. So, but also there are foundations of that I'm always looking for in, in people like curiosity, someone who is adaptable, someone who has a passion for solving these problems, who can really understand what the engineers are bringing to the table and communicating that to potential clients and even having passion for those client projects because it's not our vision, but at the end of the day, we're really telling the story of so many founders and saying, "This is how we help them. This is what they're doing. Look at their success." And that's so important. And to be able to connect the dots across so many disciplines for people as well. Like my tactical advice for somebody who wants to approach my team is kind of approach it with that curiosity, but at the same time, or show me that you are gonna be a student of the business. We just shared about how, you know, we, you have to learn so much that you have to do that extra research on top of your every day, do your homework. That's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for someone who's going to dive in no matter where they're from, in order to be the best version of them themselves and support this team. I'm looking for somebody who is really gonna be investing in their brand because I'm doing that as well. I think that's important. I think that's important for my engineers and my founders as well. People buy from people and not logos. Right? You're a great example of that, Lindsey. I need people to show up consistently as well, consistency sells as well, and also authenticity. I'm a big fan of that. I think that's probably coming across very evidently right now. You know, I'm not a fan of the perfect resume but I'm a fan of when you show up authentically, consistently, and show the effort, that's when you win the sale. And when you connect with someone authentically. So in terms of like leadership with that non-linear path, the foundation of that no matter where you are is crucial, is non-negotiable. [00:23:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. I love that. That's great. And it's really exciting to get to know you at this particular period of time too, because it's fun to watch, you know, and get to see the growth and expansion of your whole business and company and whatnot. And so speaking of that, can you tell us a little bit more about the company, who it serves, how it helps the medtech world? [00:23:51] Emily Muir: Ontogen? Oh yes. Love to. So we are really soup to nuts everything for your startup medtech team. Truly I have a wonderful team of engineers who can take a napkin design that you have a dream, a vision, and take you through that design development process. We can help you with quality management system, regulatory strategy and execution. We can even help you with contract manufacturing. So truly like, and I think people don't believe that, and it's so much to digest, but when you're really looking for a partner out there who can be a part of your team, an integrated part of your team that has wonderful communication, we are truly those people. And my founders have an incredible passion for what they do, which is why they started this, which is why they keep adding things, capabilities that we can do and give to the world, and especially in the Chicago land area. This is not a hub yet for medtech, yet. We are gonna be growing that. And you know, there are other partners out in our space around here that are growing, that are really diving in, and that's our goal for this year. That's our strategy, not only to get our name out there, but also to really have those wonderful relationships with our ecosystem in the Chicago land area. Well, beginning here and then you know, the world but, that, that's our goal. So, you know, if you wanna have, if you wanna look for someone to help you with design and start us out there, try us out there, you're absolutely open to do that. But we do have this habit of getting people early and then helping them into that growth stage. So that's our goal for you, for the early founder out there is to grow with us so that we can get you there and then they can take over the world. [00:25:57] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. There you go. I love that. I love that. And I think it's so cool that you're able to come alongside companies like that and literally help them from that, you know, sketch all the way to development, like the whole process. That's very cool. Yeah. [00:26:13] Emily Muir: The whole process 'cause so many people out there-- and I understand, you know, it's so hard to. I think really know where to look to and where to go, and so many pitfalls from founders are experienced in those in between times. They come to a company that can do X, Y, Z for them, but they can't do then the A, B, C of it, you know? And some people think they're ready for certain stages and we're able to say, "Hey, you know, we know you might think you're there, but wow, we see this opportunity a few steps back. If you'd start here, then we can actually get you here a little bit quicker without having to look for a new partner. We can help you do all of that." And it does require a little trust on the front end in order to do that. We understand that which is why I always say start out with that design or even start out with a brainstorm. If you have an idea for something and you just need to see, is this feasible? We can just do a quick one hour brainstorm with ya. We're actually gonna be doing that with a company soon for diagnostics, which is really exciting, because that was the pitch. They said, "Well, we're really interested, but I don't know." I said, "Hey, let's go in. Let's work this out. Let's see what ideas we come up with. Let's see if this is feasible with my team first, and then we can go from there. No need to commit to everything right up front." [00:27:48] Lindsey Dinneen: That's awesome. Yeah. Yes. That is a, that's a great approach too. I think it's helpful. Also in the idea of, like you kind of mentioned, is the building trust component of not saying, "Oh, you're locked in with us forever and ever. Amen. But no, we really, we are coming alongside you. We wanna be partners with you. We care. I mean, my, I don't think it's the stretch to say we care just as much, you know, about the success of you and bringing this life-saving device to the world." So yeah, I love that approach. [00:28:20] Emily Muir: Ab, absolutely. And honestly sometimes I'm in there with my R&D managers and they're like, "If they would just let us do this one thing, you know, we really think that this would be great. You know, like how can we get them to really see that like this can be better." Like they care so much, and you know, really I just need more angel investor friends for them so that we can, you know, do all of the things that we, you know, we really wanna do for all of our clients. That's my PSA, I need more angel investor and VC friends, so, so that we can truly make their dreams come true with their devices. [00:28:59] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Okay, good call to action there for our listeners here. So, you know, you've had a really amazing career and you've done lots and lots of different things within the medtech industry. Have there been any moments that really stood out to you, is just affirming, "Wow, man, I am in the right place at the right time." [00:29:22] Emily Muir: Oh my goodness. Well, I definitely remember the first time I knew I could do it. You know, there are a few moments along the way that I affirm where you're, I'm on the right path, right? Truly, anytime you get a job, a new job, you're like, "Okay, well, somebody's still gonna hire me. We're still here. This is great. We're still going here." But the first time I really figured out that this was the right place for me was meeting a medical device sales rep. I met a new friend I was in the retail merchandising space, kind of, you know, figuring out what my next step was. Do I keep going here? Do I try to do leadership within the retail space or do I go into something else? And I met this wonderful friend, she's, well, she was an orthopedic sales rep and we were talking about our jobs and I was like, "What we do sounds so similar, but like you help people's lives. You know, like you have a direct impact on the surgeon. Like, you know, you set them up for success so that they can execute their surgery, right?" Like that's so amazing and impactful and really they made a lot more money than I did, frankly speaking which doesn't hurt. But, it was truly that moment when I was going over it with her and then starting to throw ideas about my next step. And she goes, "Oh yeah, you can do that. Oh yeah. What you do, like you just add my terms in there, my vernacular, and put you in front of a surgeon and that's it." And I said, "Okay, you know what? You get help people. I wanna help people. I wanna have an impact. Let's, that's what I'm gonna do." And I just keep finding ways that parts of the industry that keep me excited, and there's no shortage of that here. There's literally something new every day. There's a new product that we're helping bring to market. There's a new part of the industry that is emerging, evolving that you need to learn. That was probably the most impactful moment for me to really know that I was on the right path here. [00:31:42] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. Yeah. Okay, so. All right. Yes. And I think it's so cool that you have many moments to draw from 'cause it sounds like the inspiration keeps coming, which is always super helpful, 'cause of course you're gonna have good and bad days. So being able to draw on, oh my goodness, this series of, "How exciting is this to be able to play a part." That's great. Well, all right, pivoting the conversation a little bit just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want, could be in your industry. It doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach? [00:32:21] Emily Muir: This is gonna be really left field. This is gonna, yeah. Yeah. I this is for-- and Lindsey, I don't know if you enjoy the franchise "The Real Housewives" or... [00:32:32] Lindsey Dinneen: I've never watched an episode. [00:32:33] Emily Muir: Or if any, listen-- oh my goodness. Okay. Let's. I will, there's too much. I'll have a brain dump after this. There will be homework to it. You think the medtech industry is hard? Let's go. It would truly be about "The Real Housewives" and their impact on the reality lands and also the personal branding evolution of the reality stars. It's really a case study in marketing and as a marketer, you, I really would look into that heavily because a lot of those women either create products outta that or, I mean, some of them do go to prison unfortunately as well, but I wouldn't look into those as much. There's a strong pipeline there, but a lot of the businesses that are created from women from this platform is truly astonishing. And there really needs to be a course about it, like an MBA level course about it and the successful women who have come from it. [00:33:39] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. Oh my goodness. That is out of left field. That is probably the most interesting answer I have ever heard. Not expecting it. Love it. Oh my goodness. [00:33:51] Emily Muir: Thank you. Thank you so much. You can start with Bethany Frankel. She's a great one. I'm sure you've heard of her before, maybe Skinny Girl Margarita. Not a paid plug for her. Yes. That she's a great one. But there aren't many. There are many out there. Yes, start with her. [00:34:07] Lindsey Dinneen: All right. Homework. Excellent. And then how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:34:13] Emily Muir: How do I wish to be remembered? I hope to be remembered as a very supportive person to my friends, my family, my support system. When you are part of my, when you're in, and truly, no matter what you need-- if you give a call in the middle of the night, I, you know, will jump outta my bed to go and help, you know, whatever it is that you need. I try to be truly that ride or die for my friends, my family, and I really hope that's what I'm remembered for, because everyone needs a wonderful support system and someone to, you know, stand behind, stand alongside you, hold your hands sometimes and be that cheerleader. So I try to be that. I have people who are so wonderful in my life who are that for me. And, like, if you imagine, you know, heaven forbid it's like, you know, your funeral. But I do imagine that they are there truly like pom poms in their hand, you know, being my cheerleader because I've been a cheerleader to so many people. That is my dream with some sort of like Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey on probably going at the same time or something that would be... [00:35:30] Lindsey Dinneen: Naturally. [00:35:32] Emily Muir: With "The Real Housewives," you know, just playing in the background, just my masterclass, you know, playing for everyone, the marathon of it, that would really just in probably like a puppy yoga fostering situation happening at the same time because everyone needs to rescue and foster a puppy at some point, so that would be the pinnacle of my life. Something like that. [00:35:58] Lindsey Dinneen: Very specific requests. I love it. We're gonna have, it's gonna be... [00:36:02] Emily Muir: Yes. Absolutely. [00:36:04] Lindsey Dinneen: ...A sad event and like, weird, you know, like, 'cause you're supposed to, you know, you're sad but also puppies, so. [00:36:10] Emily Muir: Puppies for sure. Absolutely. There would be, you know, I'd be like, "Everyone has to leave with a rescue puppy. Like these are my final wishes." [00:36:21] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:36:22] Emily Muir: Mandatory. Mandatory, absolutely. [00:36:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Amazing. Alright. And then final question. What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:36:37] Emily Muir: Puppies. Re, re, rescue puppies. My, my dog specifically. They make me smile every time. Heaven forbid you are following me on Instagram or something and seeing my dogs just all the time. I am unfortunately that person. But also if you need a rescue puppy at any time, I probably know like three people off the top of my head who I can get you a puppy like now. So that always, there are always on, on some sort of social media so that always makes me smile. [00:37:07] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. Nope. I had a really strong suspicion that was gonna be your answer, so, so I am delighted that you you chose puppies 'cause that, that works for me too. I love animals in general and it's like, they just make me smile randomly. I'm just like, "They're just happy," you know? It's so cute. I just love them [00:37:28] Emily Muir: They are so happy. I did foster three puppies at one time, and that was a lot, but there was a lot of happiness. You're just like, you know, they're a little crazy. They're just, you know, all over each other, but they're, you know, playing and you're just like, oh my gosh, this is, there's nothing better right now than the happiness of these puppies. [00:37:48] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. That's amazing. I just love that so much. My goodness. Well, this has been an amazing conversation, Emily, and took several twists and turns I didn't expect, and absolutely love. And we are so honored to be making a donation on your behalf as a thank you for your time today to Save the Children, which works to end the cycle of poverty by ensuring communities have the resources to provide children with a healthy, educational, and safe environment.

We're grateful, and I wish you the most amazing continued success. [00:38:32] Emily Muir: Oh my gosh. Thank you so much for having me. I, this was truly a pleasure. Well, thank you so much. Really, I appreciate it. [00:38:38] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. [00:38:40] Dan Purvis: The Leading Difference is brought to you by Velentium Medical.

I sat down with the legendary record executive Clive Davis. We looked back on the career-defining moments that made him one of the most influential figures in music. He shares memories from the Beverly Hills Hotel, where we recorded the conversation. We also discussed the evolution of his famed pre-Grammy gala, and the philosophy behind honoring artists in the room. Davis also revisits being pushed out at Columbia, Arista, launching J Records, and the story behind Whitney Houston recording “Why Does It Hurt So Bad.” It's a conversation about instinct, reinvention, and what it takes to keep going at the highest levels in business.

Liv Ciara first appeared on "The Voice" in Season 28, but didn't earn a chair turn. This was an experience she now sees not as rejection, but as redirection. Since then, she has grown her artistry, gained confidence on stage and returned with even more drive. Music has been a part of Liv's life for as long as she can remember. Her family recalls her singing in grocery store carts and on rides to school, and today she's the lead singer of her dad's band, Groovethang. Whether fronting full band sets or performing unplugged at the piano, Liv thrives on live music and the connection it brings with audiences. She plays piano, recently taught herself guitar and draws inspiration from artists such as Laufey, Whitney Houston and Billie Eilish. With a 4.0 GPA and big dreams of writing original songs, recording albums and touring, Liv is ready to prove her place as a rising pop/R&B artist.Blind Audition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwX1DDZXf Battle Performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXKK0at8cs4 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Familiar hooks, fresh beats. For this week's episode, we're exploring that beautiful friction between the '70s/'80s disco era and modern production. This is "Disco but Edits" — a deep dive into the world of disco re-edits and nu-disco reimagining. I've put together a selection of tracks that pay homage to the legends (think Stephanie Mills, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, and Pino D'angio; don't think Kiss and Technotronic, but they're there, too) but through the lens of modern producers. 📺 This is Episode 226 of the Summer Fondue Sessions radioshow, originally an audio‑only show, now in the video format → watch this mix on YT at https://www.youtube.com/@summerfondue 🌐 More information and show archive with tracklists → https://www.summerfondue.com 🙏🏼 Please support the artists making this great music: follow them, stream their work, and buy their releases to help keep the scene thriving!

We're revisiting one of our favorite episodes of One Song this week featuring award-winning journalist, author, and podcaster Danyel Smith (Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop). Danyel joins Diallo and LUXXURY to break down Chaka Khan's “I'm Every Woman,” the 1978 disco crossover hit that launched her incredibly successful solo career. They discuss Chaka's powerful, dynamic vocal range (just wait until you hear the isolated stems!), how the song became an anthem for female empowerment (among many other things), and Chaka's professional and personal connections with Whitney Houston, who famously covered the song 15 years later for The Bodyguard soundtrack.

Alexia Jayy, 31Team AdamHometown: Irvington, ALResident: Mobile, AL A self-proclaimed "old soul," Alexia Jayy has been chasing her dream since she was 2. Inspired by icons such as Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Donny Hathaway, she grew up performing - from her first solo at the Apollo at 5 to recording her own original music as an adult. Alexia's signature, accessory-adorned Afro has become a joyful extension of her personality and artistry. Life hasn't been without challenges, though. A single mother at 21, Alexia balanced raising her son, Matthew, with pursuing music, even writing her first single, "Who Raised You," in his honor. She later welcomed her daughter, Harmony, while continuing to perform, record and build a following online. Supported by her partner, David, and her mother, Michelle, Alexia juggles family, music and faith, proving that perseverance, passion and love can turn obstacles into opportunity. Blind Audition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYo7dYGQT30 Battle Performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULaDNo8dzi0 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time. 

Charlie Puth joins Switched On Pop in Studio A at Power Station at Berklee NYC, live before a room of current students, ten days after performing the national anthem at Super Bowl 60 and weeks before releasing his fourth album, Whatever's Clever. The conversation is grounded in one question: how do you absorb the music you love and turn it into something that actually sounds like you? Puth traces his national anthem arrangement through a lineage running from Jose Feliciano's 1968 World Series performance to Marvin Gaye's 808-driven 1983 All-Star Game version to Whitney Houston's 1991 Super Bowl rendition. The through-line: citation is letting your influences dissolve into your hands until they become unrecognizable. That principle runs throughout the new record, from the Quincy Jones guitar tone on "Cry" to the Chick Corea quotation buried in "Boy" that Puth didn't realize was there until after writing it. Songs Discussed Bruce Springsteen – "Born in the USA" Madonna – "Like a Virgin" David Bowie – "Let's Dance" Charlie Puth ft. Wiz Khalifa – "See You Again" Charlie Puth – "We Don't Talk Anymore" Charlie Puth – "Attention" Charlie Puth – "Light Switch" Whitney Houston – "The Star-Spangled Banner" Babyface – "Whip Appeal" Jose Feliciano – "The Star-Spangled Banner" Jimi Hendrix – "The Star-Spangled Banner" Marvin Gaye – "The Star-Spangled Banner" Marvin Gaye – "Sexual Healing" Soulja Boy – "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" DeBarge – "Who's Holding Donna Now" Charlie Puth ft.

Send us Fan MailTHE BODYGUARD TGTPTU's first set of four Hack 4x4s concludes this week with THE BODYGUARD (1992), director Mick Jackson's sleeper hit starring peak Kevin Costner and top shelf Whitney Houston.  Allegedly offered to Jackson the day after the L.A. Story premiere, the plot of The Bodyguard is bigger than you remember or would expect, so if you haven't seen it or not in a while, do so. Just know the script started with JFK's assassination as a Steve McQueen + Diana Ross vehicle and, after 67 rejections over 2 years, went through 12 rewrites by Lawrence Kasdan until it landed with Kostner who wanted Whitney Houston and Kasdan wanted out of directing. Hence, Jackson steps in as premium hack. It would become the second highest grossing film of 1992.  This ep, Jack stays scarce, Andi returns bringing Dolly Pardon facts, Ken reminds us Costner would later direct The Postman, Ryan flexes his family's wealth, and Gen Z Thomas reveals a dark secret of how unamerican (or age-appropriate) his cartoon movie habits are having not seen a single Peanuts movie (NOTE: content may be edited or become exclusive behind the paywall) or 1999's Oscar-sweeping American Beauty.   Mick Jackson, if we should stay, we'd only be in your way. So we'll go, but you know, we'll think of you every step of the way…  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

From recording holiday classics with Whitney Houston to witnessing the unparalleled professionalism of Aretha Franklin in her own dining room, Taylor shares the kind of "backstage pass" stories that only a true industry titan could tell. As a mentor to host Claude Kelly and a key architect in the careers of icons like Boyz II Men and Tyrese, his presence on the show is more than just a guest appearance—it's a deep-dive masterclass into the art of vocal production and the staying power required to remain a "GOAT" in an ever-changing industry. Beyond the Grammy and Dove Awards, Taylor gets candid about the gritty reality of artist development, reflecting on his pivotal role in transforming a 17-year-old Trey Songz into a global superstar and the often "thankless" nature of a business fueled by ego and politics. He offers an inspiring look at the resilience required to stay as "giddy" about producing today as he was when he started, even after weathering thirty-six years of industry disappointments. Whether he's discussing the "silent prayer" he holds for his former students or his philosophy on the "one person" every artist needs to listen to, Taylor proves exactly why he remains a cornerstone of the culture and a permanent fixture in the R&B hall of fame.  We Sound Crazy is your backstage pass to all things music and culture.

In this episode, we dive deep into the sonic rivalry between the neon-soaked 80s New Wave and the raw, rebellious 90s Alternative era.

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Charlie Puth has spent the last decade topping charts with hits like “See You Again,” “Attention” and “We Don't Talk Anymore” and recently performed the national anthem at the 2026 Super Bowl, drawing inspiration from Whitney Houston's iconic rendition. Puth sits down with Willie Geist at a New York City jazz club to discuss his fourth studio album, “Whatever's Clever,” an orchestral pop record influenced by late 1980s and early 1990s yacht rock, while reflecting on the pivotal moments that shaped his rise from accidental pop star to global headliner. Plus, he opens up about a recent conversation with former President Barack Obama about the importance of music education, how Taylor Swift's “The Tortured Poets Department” lyric pushed him to be more vulnerable and how marriage and impending fatherhood have reshaped his songwriting.

You are cordially invited to attend a most distinguished yet eminently fake wake in honor of Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova, the undisputed queens of chaos, podcasts, and mirth. We shall convene in a chapel that smells faintly of Red Bull, stale makeup, and air conditioner refrigerant. Guests will enjoy a program of refined absurdities including a dramatic reading of Whitney Houston's 2001 BET Awards acceptance speech, a panel discussion on Taco Bell entitled, "Beans, Cheese, and Consequences," and a ceremonial burning of Katya's old hip. Attendees will encounter a tasteful lounge where retired wigs dispense movie reviews and gallon-jugs of iced coffee. The service will feature a eulogy by a Dunkin' Donuts cashier from Back Bay, culminating in the release of several doves that will immediately relieve themselves on Trixie and Katya's pink and crimson coffins. Formal mourning attire is required, though guests are strongly encouraged to incorporate elements of high camp, delusion, and inappropriate accessories that suggest you are in dire need of therapy.

Today's daily comedy episode proves two things: kids are expensive, and karaoke should absolutely require a permit.We kick things off with an email that had the entire studio arguing like a courtroom drama sponsored by Fisher-Price. A military family's kid chucks a Lego at a friend's 75-inch QLED TV (because of course it was a 75-inch QLED), leaving a tiny but permanent “oops” mark. They do the right thing and offer to replace it — $1,200 later — only to find out the “damaged” TV is getting relocated to the daughter's room. Wait… what? Is that justice? Is that capitalism? Is that just the cost of letting children exist in your home? Rizz, Moon, and King Scott debate responsibility, friendship, and whether the real solution is simply moving to a new town and changing your identity.Then we dive into the wildest dating trend we've heard in a while: “Alpine Divorce.” It sounds like a seasonal IPA. It is not. It's apparently when someone strands their partner in the wilderness as punishment. Romantic! Nothing says “I love you” like abandoning someone mid-hike because they forgot a water bottle. We unpack the psychology behind it and question how this is even a thing. Ghosting? Bad. Ghost-lighting? Worse. Alpine Divorce? Congratulations, you're on a watch list.And then — because we care about the people — we establish the official list of karaoke songs that should be considered arrestable offenses. Whitney Houston? Jail. Bohemian Rhapsody? Straight to court. “My Heart Will Go On”? Emotional felony. The crew breaks down the crimes, the charges, and the sentencing guidelines for murdering everyone's ears at your local bar. It's the kind of public service announcement only a true daily comedy show would dare to provide.Between parenting disasters, dating red flags, and musical war crimes, this episode has everything you expect from your favorite St. Louis daily comedy chaos factory.You've been warned.

And maybe don't bring your kids anywhere.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.She sang her national anthem during karaoke.
