This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpet educator, performer and composer Dr. Christopher Keach, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Dr. Chris Keach Trumpet Interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here --- How do you apply vocal warmup and training techniques to trumpet playing? And what if it unlocks an entire new approach to practice and pedagogy? Dr. Chris Keach traces his path from a young Long Island trumpet student to college professor at the Crane School of Music, after studying at Crane and McGill University in Montreal, and reflects on how teaching, performing, and research have all shaped his journey. The vocal training techniques he learned along the way, such as jaw and tongue mobility, vowel concepts and nasal feedback, have helped him open up his sound and stamina, and give him further tools to help his students. We chat about shifting from lead jazz trumpet to classical solo work, choosing graduate studies, landing a college teaching job before finishing his doctorate, and why creating new music matters for the trumpet community. Chris began commissioning more original music after realizing how much trumpet repertoire repeats the same works, and wanting to expand the literature with new and diverse voices. His current and upcoming projects include trumpet and electronics, flugelhorn solo repertoire, chamber pieces, and a benefit concert concept tied to the local humane society. And, Chris will of course play a central role in the the inaugural Brass Summit at the Crane School in September, a weekend full of performances, exhibitors, panels, workshops, masterclasses and more. The world-renowned Seraph Brass will be present and perform a featured recital. A great event that's making world-class performance and instruction more accessible! When choosing schools for a doctorate: "For me personally, the teacher is the number one choice that I would make. If I can study with someone who inspires me to be there, inspires me to be better, helps me to grow into the musician I want to be, then everything else can fall into place." - Chris Keach About Christopher Keach: Dr. Christopher Keach, a New York-based professional musician, educator, and researcher, is the Lecturer of Trumpet at the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam. He is a multi-talented performer with experience in classical, jazz, and Afro-Cuban music. Keach has performed with the Syracuse Orchestra, Segal Centre Theatre organization, the Palm Beach Opera Orchestra, the Orchestra of Northern New York, the Northern Symphonic Winds, and in the New Works Recital at the 2023 International Trumpet Guild (ITG) Conference.   He has worked with artists such as Ashley Hall-Tighe, Tony Glausi, Ed Carroll, Sergei Nakariakov, Karen Donnelly, James Thompson, Septura Brass Septet, Fabio Brum, Caleb Hudson, Jim Wilt, Nikki LaBonte, and Anthony Plog. He currently performs as the Co-Principal of the Orchestra of Northern New York, section leader of the Northern Symphonic Winds, and as a member of the Potsdam Brass Quintet.    Keach is as versatile an educator as he is a performer. He has experience teaching a variety of age groups and settings, including K-5 general music, as well as 9-12th grade jazz band and symphonic band. From the summer of 2022 till 2026, Keach taught at the Bay Shore High School Summer Music Program where he taught lessons to beginning and high school instrumentalists. Additionally, in his private studio he teaches both jazz and classical trumpet lessons to students of all ages.    Along with his teaching and performance experience, Keach has a great interest in research, specifically in the fields of performance science and electronic music.    Keach completed his DMus and MMus degrees in trumpet performance at McGill University, Schulich School of Music, in the studio of Professor Richard Stoelzel.

Laci and Matt head to Witch Country to hang with the Owens Sisters, Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gilly (Nicole Kidman). Together they learn about the power of blood magic, sisterhood, and body oil. Practical Magic was a critical and commercial disappointment when it came out in 1998, but it's a beloved classic at this point with a sequel out in movie theaters today! (What remarkably good timing.) Were the late-'90s critics correct? Does this movie jump awkwardly from family movie to dark horror to rom-com to domestic drama, all with a cloying Alan Silvestri score that sounds like leftovers from Richie Rich? Am I (Matt) tipping my hand about how I feel about this movie?

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpet performer, band leader and recording artist James Davison, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "James Davison Trumpet Interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here --- James Davison had a misconception that trumpeters should only have one mouthpiece, that any professional should be able to do everything with only one, and if you used more you were "cheating." It was Chris Deacon in fact who finally asked him one day, in a moment of struggle, " Why don't you just try a slightly narrower mouthpiece?" From there, a whole new world opened up. Jim was already well on a path to building a career in music, having become enraptured by the trumpet and cornet as a child, playing Dixieland jazz with his father and learning to play by ear, and then studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music. But sometimes, we just need a little kick, a new perspective from an outside source, to shift our understanding and mindset. Since that crossroads, Jim has gone on to become a regular player in the British music scene, from musicals and big bands to studio sessions film soundtracks. Earlier this year, Jim released his long-awaited trumpet & bass collaboration with Misha Mullov-Abbado, "Moon Beans," a mix of original compositions and collaborative arrangements. And he features on Callum Au's ambitious new recording of original music, "Sing Seven Seas." "If you sing down the horn and you make people smile, and there's a connection for the audience with your playing, then I think that's the only thing that really matters." - James Davison In fact, Callum Au is also this month's feature interview on The Trombone Corner podcast, so after you've heard Jim's story, head over to the Corner and hear from Callum as well! About James Davison: James Davison is a freelance Trumpet and Flugelhorn player in high-demand in London's Classical and Jazz scenes.  Having graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (2014) and the Royal Academy of Music (2016), James is often found playing in Big Bands such as the BBC Big Band, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra, the Callum Au Big Band, the Kings Place Jazz Orchestra, the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, the Danish Radio Big Band, Pete Long's Echoes of Ellington, the Jakob Helling Concert Big Band and the Patchwork Jazz Orchestra.  James also works regularly in London's iconic recording studios, including Abbey Road, Angel Studios and Air Studios, for Pop, TV and Film sessions.  As well as being a side-man in bands such as the Mark Nightingale & Alan Barnes Sextet and the Misha Mullov-Abbado Group, James is also a bandleader in his own right co-leading groups with both the saxophone and clarinetist Duncan Hemstock, as well as the Grammy-nominated arranger and trombone player Callum Au in their band "Quintet-a-tete", alongside his own quartet.  James' classical and orchestral career highlights include performances with the London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia, the Halle, English National Opera, John Wilson's Sinfonia of London and he is also a member of the world renowned brass ensemble London Brass, which he joined in 2024.  Episode Links: Moon Beans, the album https://mishamullov-abbado.bandcamp.com/album/moon-beans  Sing Seven Seas, Callum Au https://callumaumusic.com/s7s/  Swipe Right! from Sing Seven Seas by Callum Au https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZycetABQze0  The London Brass https://www.londonbrass.net/styled/page-5/  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jimjimdavison/  Bob Reeves Brass Events and Appearances: Joy Brass, September 17-24, Tokyo Japan http://joybrass.com email to sign up: tp@joybrass.co.jp Virtuosity Music, October 9-10, Boston, MA Greg Black Mouthpieces, November 6-7, Mount Holly, NC NCMEA Conference, November 8-9, Winston-Salem, NC Podcast Credits: "A Room with a View" - composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host - John Snell Photo Credits - Guido Baroncelli & James Davison Audio Engineer - Ted Cragg

This episode of The Trombone Corner, featuring British trombonist, composer and arranger Callum Au, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass and The Brass Ark. The Trombone Corner is now on video! You can watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: "Callum Au: Unlock a Career on Your Own Terms" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here --- It was an accident of school band placement that has led to a brilliant musical career, and brought Callum Au to our stages and speakers. Because he could reach the sixth position when other kids couldn't, Callum's music teacher suggested the trombone, and the rest is history. The National Youth Jazz Orchestra gave Callum a practical education in arranging, writing around 120 charts, hearing them played immediately, and learning what worked in real time. Callum credits much of his growth not just to formal lessons, but to sitting next to experienced players like Jon Stokes and Andy Flaxman and learning from their sound, phrasing, etiquette, and professionalism. Indeed, you'll never guess what he studied for his university degree! Today, Callum is a leader and inspiration himself, collaborating with international artists on Grammy-winning albums, and writing and recording his own material, including the stunning new release, Sing Seven Seas. Our conversation today also unlocks the secret of arranging and transcribing: the surest path to a sustainable, successful and influential career. And check out the latest episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter James Davison, a frequent collaborator with Callum Au. About Callum Au: Callum Au is a British composer, arranger, orchestrator, and trombonist. He writes music across a wide range of genres, with a particular passion for big band and large jazz ensemble music. He is highly regarded for his stylistic awareness and versatility,  and has worked with some of the world's biggest artists. Over the past fifteen years, Callum has established himself as one of the busiest arrangers in the world. He has had the privilege of writing music for many international artists including Quincy Jones, Jamie Cullum and RAYE, and ensembles including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the WDR Funkhaus Orchestra, and the Danish Radio Big Band. In 2021 he arranged two songs for Michael Bublé's Grammy winning album 'Higher'. More recently, he contributed four arrangements to Dua Lipa's 'Live from the Royal Albert Hall' and wrote the vast majority of the critically acclaimed 2024 BBC Concert Orchestra Disco Prom. Callum is also active as a composer, with his flair for arresting melodies and lush complex harmony proving popular with audiences and musicians alike. Recent commissions include works for Inner City Brass, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and Bone a-fide Trombone Quartet, and groups as diverse as the BBC Concert Orchestra and the SWR Big Band have performed his original music. Callum's latest release is Sing Seven Seas, a product of an audacious seven‑day recording marathon, where Callum united more than eighty extraordinary artists to create a vibrant double album. The album was released on June 1st, 2026, and showcases four years of original writing crafted specifically for these musicians and the remarkable things they can do, capturing the energy, colour, and imagination that define Callum's musical world.

What does it take to build a creative economy in a mid-sized city? Sometimes, it starts with one teacher deciding the gap she kept seeing was hers to fill.Page Gleeson, a longtime High Point art educator, spent years watching talented local artists drive to Winston-Salem or Greensboro just to find studio space or a place to show their work. Interior designers and showrooms weren't looking at local art — not because it wasn't good, but because there was nowhere for them to see it.So Page went through the Artful Business Cohort with the High Point Arts Council, earned her LLC, and opened Studio 136: a hybrid gallery and working studio space that now houses four in-house artists, each with a dedicated room to create and exhibit.It's a model built on a simple belief: art doesn't have to be competitive to be sustainable. Artists supporting artists — sharing space, technique, and visibility — is what builds a creative economy that can actually hold a city's talent instead of losing it to bigger markets.Studio 136 is one more example of High Point's creative and small business community investing in the infrastructure that keeps local talent local.To read this story, visit: https://www.highpointdiscovered.org/stories/To learn more about Studio 136, visit: https://www.studio136gallery.com/This story is brought to you by TowneBank.

"They're really worried that radiation is going to be painful. So they come in for that first day of treatment very anxious. With our patients with brain cancer, we're using the masks on the table, and those masks are very tight and hold their heads very, very still. So they'll be very worried about being claustrophobic. We may start out the first day or two with a little bit of [lorazepam]. And they'll come to me and they'll say, 'This really hasn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be,'" ONS member Catherine McCluskey, BSN, RN, OCN®, ROCN™, radiation oncology staff nurse at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist in Winston-Salem, NC, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, who was the manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS at the time of the recording, during a conversation about radiation side effects in central nervous system (CNS) cancers.

Highlights From This Episode "With primary tumors—glioblastomas, astrocytoma, all of those types of cancerous primary CNS tumors, the tumors are not very well-defined. They have little tentacles that kind of go out, so doing something like Gamma Knife, which is very precise, is not as effective as an external beam because the external beam will deliver radiation to all those little tentacles that are out there in the brain. And with Gamma Knife, you really can't effectively do that." TS 2:34 "When we're doing radiation to the brain, fortunately there aren't that many acute toxicities involved. Sometimes they'll have some mild dermatitis. Usually, it's not very significant. They, like everyone else who gets radiation, will have fatigue. Usually once we get to the end of the second week of radiation, into the third week for our patients with primary CNS tumors—the hair loss—they'll start to notice hair loss just in the treatment area. But those are typical, the things that we've seen most. Sometimes we'll have patients who will experience some nausea, maybe a few headaches, but really the acute toxicities are not severe typically with our patients with brain tumors." TS 8:30 "[For] the fatigue, I tell patients to just listen to their bodies. We don't want them to be sedentary, and we want them to go out and continue living their lives. But I do warn them that the fatigue is pretty much common to all patients receiving radiation at various degrees, depending on the patient. I just tell them to do what they feel like doing, and then when they're tired to rest, and if they find themselves having a nap in the afternoon, that's okay." TS 13:51 "What I find with these patients in particular is that a lot of times, their first symptoms related to any type of cancer are CNS symptoms from brain metastasis. Our patients with lung cancer or melanoma—they come in through the emergency room for altered mental status or seizures or something like that. They find a mass in their brain, and then they find a mass on their lung, or they find masses everywhere. Typically, they want to treat the brain masses first before they start them on any kind of systemic treatment. And so, they'll come to us, and they're in shock. Everything's happened very quickly. They haven't had a chance to really catch their breath. They're overwhelmed. And so I try to make sure they understand that everyone that they see here is part of their team and is with them through this journey and they're not alone." TS 25:36 "A couple of years ago, ONS put out an email asking for people to volunteer to do a delineation study about the feasibility of doing a radiation oncology certified nursing exam. And I, just on a whim, responded to that email. It's not something I've ever done before, and thinking that I would not be put on the team. … And I thought, 'I don't have enough experience, I don't know what I'm doing, and they won't choose me.' And lo and behold, they put me on this role delineation study. … I have met so many incredible nurses with all kinds of experience. I've learned so much. It has opened up a lot of things for me and it's been really exciting, so all I can do is say take advantage of those opportunities when they come. Don't think that you don't know enough, because you know more than you think you do." TS 32:38

Host Mike Rosado welcomes illustrator/designer/comic artist Nathaniel Long, a South Carolina-based creator from the Winston-Salem area whose early Spider-Man obsession and grandfather's drawings sparked a lifelong pull toward hand-drawn craft. Long talks about choosing traditional tools for their tactile reality, studying cinema production at Bob Jones University to sharpen visual storytelling, and working full time at BJU Press on motion-graphic illustration projects like an animated "Mask of the Red Death." The conversation digs into how comics are built—outline first, then thumbnails, pencils, inks, and even physically cutting and gluing word balloons—while reflecting on shifting convention culture and the value of process. The episode spotlights Long's Kickstarter for "Moon to Earth," a 24-page, retro-inspired space adventure one-shot he writes, illustrates, and traditionally inks, aiming to raise $3,000 by August 29, with tiers including a $15 comic and a $30 comic-plus-exclusive print.  If you're into comics, illustration, vintage sci-fi, or just seeing an artist take an idea all the way from their head to something you can actually hold in your hands, check it out—and consider supporting the Kickstarter.

She describes how the program's inquiry-based learning model asks students to work through patient cases from the beginning of PA school, building clinical reasoning, self-directed learning, and collaborative problem-solving skills before they enter rotations.The conversation also explores Wake Forest's leadership focus, including its Emerging Leaders Program pathways in business and law, and the service-oriented experiences that begin during orientation. Sobia connects those experiences to the PA profession's responsibility to understand the social drivers of health and serve patients in context.The episode closes with practical advice for applicants.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpet performer, composer and recording artist Liva Strazdina, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Liva Strazdina Trumpet Interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here --- Liva Strazdina made the decision to pursue post-secondary studies in jazz music, and had been accepted to the Carl Maria von Weber Dresden University of Music, but there remained one crucial thing that she had to tackle first: Changing her embouchure. She had heard the suggestions before, the recommendations to do something about it before it got worse and created excessive fatigue. But the time had come. Liva was guided by the acclaimed yet demanding instructor Malte Burba, showing her breathing and muscle-building techniques that embraced the full body, not just the lips, mouth and lungs. Which led to Liva spending a solid three months practicing with only a mouthpiece, while her new classmates were progressing with her studies. Undoubtedly a test of perseverance and commitment! Liva compares her training to that of an athlete, who must see the bigger picture and the ultimate trajectory, particularly during the repetitive and even painful days of practice and repetition. Fortunately for her, and all of us, her commitment has led to a burgeoning career in jazz music, and the debut of her first album, Unbalanced, featuring a mixture of original compositions and interpretations. Listen in for a thoughtful conversation, and a thoughtful album, about trumpet, creativity, resilience, and building a life in music. About Liva Strazdina: Līva Strazdiņa, born in 1997 in Berlin with Latvian roots, combines depth, expression and a clear personal tone in her music. After studying jazz trumpet as her main instrument at the Carl Maria von Weber University of Music in Dresden, with teachers including Sebastian Studnitzky, Malte Burba, Simon Harrer and Till Brönner, she developed a distinctive musical language marked by intense melodic writing and a fine balance between energy and intimacy. As a trumpeter and flugelhornist, she chooses her instrument deliberately based on mood and tone color. Alongside numerous ensemble projects, big band experience, awards and tours including the Berlin Youth Jazz Orchestra, studio recordings with LaJJazzO and tours with the indie band BEACHPEOPLE, Līva is also active as a composer. Her music reflects not only influences from jazz greats such as Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard, but also singer songwriters like Billy Joel and pop icons like Pink Floyd and Eminem. With her debut album, Līva shares her innermost thoughts and feelings. The album invites listeners to immerse themselves in these emotions and reflect on their own emotional world.

At 6 years old, Kevin Keller was already "stealing" his father's cologne — a habit generously tolerated by his dad — and discovering that scent could change the way you felt before you ever said a word.That early fascination with transformation eventually became Fulton & Roark, the American fine fragrance house Keller co-founded in 2013 with $11,000 and a belief that perfumery could be both deeply personal and distinctly American.Raised in Atlanta and educated at Georgia State University and Wake Forest University, Keller began his career in journalism before turning to music and culture, where he profiled brilliant emerging musicians and artists. What stayed with him was a fascination with culture, place, and tradition — and how those forces subtly shape the way we carry ourselves in the world.Built without outside capital, Fulton & Roark has grown into a nationally distributed independent fragrance brand, available in nearly 500 retail locations including premier independent boutiques, select Ritz-Carlton and Omni properties, and Neiman Marcus stores and online. The brand has been featured in GQ, Vogue, and ELLE, among others, and its fragrance Roark's Cove was a finalist for the Universal Prestige category of the Fragrance of the Year Award from The Fragrance Foundation.He lives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with his wife and two children, and mentors young founders at Wake Forest University.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:00] Introduction[01:08] Solid fragrances vs extrait de parfum[02:08] How the founder's love of fragrance began[03:16] Founding a niche brand with $11,000[05:26] Going to market without a DTC plan[07:39] Sponsor: IntelliGems[09:19] The GQ feature that forced them online[11:37] Building first websites on Squarespace[12:37] Sponsor: Klaviyo[14:47] Building the marketing flywheel[18:04] Sponsor: eFulfillment Service[19:40] Getting customers to pay for samples[22:37] Callouts[25:26] Why founders overrate daily metrics[27:30] Learning to delegate as a founder[27:54] Where to find Fulton & Roark[29:02] Final thoughtsResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeAmerican Fine Fragrance fultonandroark.com/ Follow Kevin Keller linkedin.com/in/kevinwilliamkeller Book a demo today at intelligems.io/ Migrate and grow more klaviyo.com/honest Lower scale costs today FulfillmentService.com/honest If you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Matthew Toffolo interviewed Nathan Porter, a filmmaker from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, about his short film "Blue," which is a 22-minute film about grief that he wrote and directed. Nathan discussed his extensive experience making films, having created approximately 46 short films, including a period where he made one movie every week as a learning exercise. He explained that the film explores grief and identity through abstract imagery and a claustrophobic visual style, with particular focus on a six-minute single take scene that required extensive preparation and multiple takes to capture the emotional depth needed. Nathan revealed that the film was written as part of a larger artistic piece that he plans to expand into a feature-length road trip horror movie, demonstrating his commitment to transitioning from short films to longer projects. —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

Preston & Todd review the first three episodes of "Pluribus," one of their favorite shows of the previous season. The world is hit with an alien virus that turns humanity into a hive mind. Fantasy romance author Carol Sturka is one of very few humans, barely over a dozen, in the whole world unaffected and still maintaining individuality and free thought.Episode 1, "We Is Us," is about the horror show that occurs when the virus first hits, including the death of Carol's wife Helen, and Carol's discovery of what is going on and why (vaguely) she is somehow unique.Episode 2, "Pirate Lady," is about the aftermath of the virus being unleashed, the hive assigning a beautiful "chaperone" named Zosia for the rebellious & stubborn Carol, and Carol's insistence in meeting others unaffected by the virus. The meeting takes place in Spain, only includes others who speak English, and reveals that Carol is the only one who seems to have a problem with the results of the virus.Episode 3, "Grenade," shows a flashback of Carol and her wife visiting an ice hotel after Carol had her eggs frozen. In the present, Carol tests the hive with certain demands & requests to see just how far the hive is willing to go to try to please her.Listen now as Preston & Todd explore the motivations & methods of the hive mind, the distribution of the virus, the show's religious allegories & numerology, the relevance of Carol Sturka as LGBT, the "families" of the remaining unaffected being hive but still pretending to be family members, the similarities between Zosia and Helen, the virus's comparison to AI, an unexpected Winston-Salem reference in a throwaway line of dialogue, and much, much more.Note: There is a spoiler section at the end for discussion about references to the remaining six "Pluribus" episodes.

Die deutsche Nationalmannschaft ist im WM-Quartier in Winston-Salem angekommen und Torwart Manuel Neuer ist zurück im Mannschaftstraining. Verletzt abreisen musste Lennart Karl. Der Youngster wird die WM 2026 verpassen. Für ihn rückte Assan Ouédraogo nach. Was macht die Karl-Verletzung mit dem DFB-Team und welche Rolle nimmt jetzt Leroy Sané ein? Beim französischen Team ist Michael Olise in Topform. Im Test gegen Nordirland erzielte Olise drei Tore und macht sich damit weiter interessant für Top-Klubs. Real Madrid will ein Angebot vorbereiten für den Bayern-Star. Und das will man in München gar nicht haben.

What does it look like when someone builds their entire life around a question — not “what can I get?” but “what can I give?” Today’s guest has been quietly answering that for over a decade, and the results speak for themselves: hundreds of young lives redirected, a nonprofit that has become a genuine force in Charlotte, and a reputation so consistent that his colleagues simply call him Superman. Jimmy McQuilkin grew up in Columbia, Maryland, graduated No. 1 in his high school class, and arrived at Wake Forest University with enough drive to talk his way onto the men’s basketball team as a non-scholarship walk-on. He earned two varsity letters and, in his own words, “dribbled out the clock a few times.” But it wasn’t the hardwood that changed his life — it was a volunteer experience at a Latino community services organization in Winston-Salem that set everything in motion. After Wake Forest, he joined Teach For America, taught Spanish and coached basketball in Charlotte, and was named First Year Teacher of the Year. In 2013, he co-founded UrbanPromise Charlotte — a Christian-centered nonprofit that now serves 335 young people across three sites, employs 105 people, and runs one of the most inspired youth leadership models anywhere in this city. People who know Jimmy describe him as “the most intentional” and “the most humble” person in the room — which, if you know anything about leadership, tells you everything. Jimmy, welcome to The BrandBuilders Podcast.

In this episode of Anything But Typical, Gary Frey and Ben McDonald sit down with Ben Kinney, publisher of Business North Carolina, SouthPark Magazine, and North Carolina Tribune. Ben shares how growing up as the son of a journalist, moving from city to city, and constantly being the new kid shaped his ability to communicate, adapt, and connect with people. What started as a life of transition eventually became a career built around storytelling, leadership, media, and relationships. The conversation explores Ben's unexpected path from studying history and planning to become a teacher, to working in advertising sales, to stepping into leadership at Business North Carolina during a difficult season for the company. Ben also talks about the evolution of media, leading through uncertainty, surviving the Great Recession and COVID, and why authentic storytelling still matters in a world increasingly shaped by digital noise and AI. This episode is a thoughtful conversation about resilience, connection, leadership, and the power of having a real voice in business. In This Episode Gary, Ben McDonald, and Ben Kinney discuss: Ben's childhood moving through Burlington, Winston-Salem, New York City, South Florida, and Charlotte How being the “new kid” helped Ben learn communication, adaptability, and connection Why Ben originally planned to become a high school history teacher How he fell into classified advertising and business media What it was like stepping into leadership at Business North Carolina after tragedy The challenges of working in a family business How media has changed across print, digital, newsletters, podcasts, video, and social platforms Why great content still matters, even as distribution continues to evolve How Business North Carolina adapted through the Great Recession and COVID Ben's leadership philosophy and the importance of hiring the right people Why authenticity, voice, and storytelling still matter in the age of AI The value of strong editing, concise writing, and human connection Key Takeaways Connection is often built through life experience. Ben's ability to connect with people came from years of adapting to new environments, new schools, and new communities. Leadership sometimes begins with simply stepping in to help. Ben did not enter publishing with a perfect master plan. He stepped in when the family business needed him and learned through pressure. Content is still king, but distribution has changed. Strong journalism and storytelling still matter, but today's media companies have to think across print, email, social media, podcasts, video, and digital platforms. Survival requires thoughtful reaction. Ben explains that small businesses have to move quickly, but leaders still need to respond with care, perspective, and intention. Authenticity creates trust. Ben's personal writing in The Daily Digest connected with readers because it felt genuine, human, and different from typical business commentary. AI cannot replace real storytelling. AI may help generate information, but it cannot replace voice, judgment, perspective, editing, and authentic human connection. Memorable Quotes “He knows a lot of folks. He's got a great sense of humor. And he really can connect people.” “I always like to talk about myself growing up as my parents and I grew up together.” “I was always the new kid at every school.” “It was trial by fire. It was trial by volcanic fire.” “You gotta kinda react to things in a thoughtful way.” “But it can't replace storytelling, and that's what we're all doing, is telling stories.” “The key is be entertaining, be engaging, and have a voice.” “Good editing is so hard to find.” Connect with Ben Kinney LinkedIn: Ben Kinney Business North Carolina: businessnc.com SouthPark Magazine: southparkmagazine.com North Carolina Tribune: nctribune.com Email: bkinney@businessnc.com X/Twitter: @BenKinneyBNC
