Podcasts about Woodward

Today on The Gist, a look back at a Webby Award nominated focus group spoof from the vault before diving into a major analysis of the Supreme Court's monumental ruling against Donald Trump's birthright citizenship executive order. Then, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and author Eric Lichtblau joins the show to discuss his new book, American Reich: A Murder in Orange County, Neo-Nazis, and a New Age of Hate. Lichtblau unpacks the tragic 2018 murder of Ivy League student Blaze Bernstein by his former high school classmate, Sam Woodward, mapping Woodward's toxic path from an online "journal of hate" to a paramilitarized neo-Nazi hate camp in Texas. Finally, in the spiel, a deep dive into the 14th Amendment's original congressional debates reveals why the high court's 6-3 rejection of the citizenship ban successfully held the constitutional line against fringe conservative theories Produced by Corey Wara Video and Social Media by Geoff Craig Do you have questions or comments, or just want to say hello?

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Michael Woodward. Interview Overview Guest: Michael WoodwardHost: Rushion McDonaldShow: Money Making Conversations MasterclassFocus: Entrepreneurship, real estate, education, overcoming poverty, and building generational wealthCompany Featured: Woodward Property Group Michael Woodward shares his journey from growing up in low‑income neighborhoods in Miami to becoming a successful real estate investor, contractor, and property management entrepreneur based in Atlanta. The conversation blends personal history, mindset lessons, and practical business guidance, especially for listeners from underserved communities. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: Demystify success for everyday people by showing how discipline, education, and calculated risk can lead to financial freedom Inspire listeners to move beyond circumstances of poverty or limitation Teach practical strategies around education choices, real estate investing, side hustles, credit management, and seizing opportunity Highlight community impact, mentorship, and “reaching back” to help others Rushion McDonald consistently frames the discussion around helping the audience “stop reading other people’s success stories and start planning your own." Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Poverty Is Relative — and Often Invisible Woodward explains that many people grow up in poverty without realizing it because everyone around them shares the same conditions. He distinguishes between government definitions of poverty and lived experience. Takeaway: Awareness is the first step to change; normal does not always mean acceptable. 2. Early Business Lessons Came from the Community Woodward credits his grandmother—who ran an informal candy business in the housing projects—as his first exposure to entrepreneurship. Watching her manage inventory, customers, and cash taught him foundational business principles. Takeaway: Entrepreneurship often begins long before formal education—especially in underserved communities. 3. Education as a Strategic Tool, Not Just a Degree Initially planning to become a lawyer, Woodward changed direction after realizing law school would not provide the financial or social return he hoped for unless he reached elite status. A mentor guided him toward education as a pathway for impact. He strongly recommends the Occupational Outlook Handbook as a practical guide for choosing careers based on income, longevity, and demand. Takeaway: Choose education intentionally—based on outcomes, not prestige. 4. Service Before Profit: Two Decades in Education Woodward spent over 20 years as a teacher and assistant principal, mentoring students, organizing college tours, and running summer STEM programs—often during his breaks. Takeaway: Long‑term service builds perspective, discipline, and purpose that later pays dividends in business. 5. Turning a Side Hustle into Financial Freedom While working in education, Woodward renovated homes at night and on weekends. Over time, rental income exceeded his school salary, allowing him to retire from education and focus on real estate full‑time. Takeaway: Side hustles can become exit strategies when managed consistently and patiently. 6. Opportunity Comes from Relationships A chance relationship with a Lowe’s executive changed Woodward’s business trajectory. When asked if he could do high‑end kitchens, he said yes—then partnered with the right experts to deliver. This led to contracts in seven Lowe’s stores across metro Atlanta. Takeaway: You don’t have to know everything—just know who to call. 7. High‑End Thinking Changes Income Ceilings Woodward explains the difference between standard and high‑end construction, describing six‑figure kitchens and appliances that cost more than many homes. Takeaway: Understanding premium markets unlocks entirely different financial opportunities. 8. Two Core Business Rules: Persistence and Credit When asked what advice he gives most often, Woodward gives two principles: Never give up Protect your credit He shares how poor credit once forced him to reinvest profits just to buy tools, slowing growth. Managing credit later removed those barriers. Takeaway: Credit is leverage. Without it, growth is harder and more expensive. Notable Quotes On poverty: “A lot of people living in poverty don’t know that they’re impoverished because everybody around them looks just like them.” On education choices: “I wanted to make a difference… and education allowed me to do that.” On opportunity and courage: “You don’t have to know everything. Just get the people in your corner that do.” On advice to entrepreneurs: “Never give up. And protect your credit. Credit is everything.” On consistency: “My phone number has been the same for 23 years. I ain’t going nowhere. Overall Impact The interview positions Michael Woodward as a practical role model—someone who combines humility, preparation, faith, and execution. Rather than promoting quick wins, the conversation emphasizes long‑term discipline, community uplift, and strategic decision‑making. Core message: Sustainable success is built step‑by‑step—through education, relationships, credit discipline, and the courage to say yes before you feel ready. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Capital for Good, we speak with two extraordinary media leaders — Christy Tanner '99, the president and CEO of New York Public Radio, an iconic and 100-year-old center for local and global media, and Carroll Bogert, the CEO of The City Reporter, the independent newsroom founded in 2019 to cover breaking news, investigative, and service journalism in New York City. In this wide-ranging conversation, we hear from these industry veterans about their early callings as reporters, their respective careers as pioneers — one using journalism to hold power to account, one forging new business models in the face of technological transformation — and their thoughts about the challenges, and opportunities, of the current moment in New York and around the world. We start with Tanner and Bogert's gravitational pulls to journalism and the formative experiences as reporters that would shape their careers in media. Tanner explains how as a young girl, inspired by the likes of Nancy Drew and Nellie Bly, the ability to "ask questions, investigate things, find out what's going on," and the creative process of writing "captured my imagination." Her first jobs at the AP and in local newsrooms in South Carolina and Tennessee taught her how investigative reporting could have tangible impact, prompting changes in government policies. For Bogert, a member of the generation of idealists who grew up on "Woodward and Bernstein and All the President's Men," journalism was "something noble… and world changing:" a way to "uncover abuse at the top and change history." As a foreign correspondent for Newsweek, she would chronicle the Tiananmen Square crackdown and the fall of the Soviet Union. As the industry evolved, so too did their respective paths. Bogert would go on to leadership roles at Human Rights Watch and as the founding president of The Marshall Project, a nonprofit news organization covering criminal justice in the United States. "The though line," she says, is that "challenging the abuse of power is the essential role of journalism. Power requires constant vigilance because it will trend towards abuse if it's not watched." Tanner, whose experiences included hosting a kind of proto-podcast in the mid-1990s, saw early on that "the internet was going to change media forever." Back in New York, she had a "front row seat to the invention of streaming as we know it" — newspapers, magazines, television, audio — and would become a leader in the digital transformation of legacy media companies like The Washington Post, Reed Elsevier, TV Guide, and CBS.  While both new in their current seats, Tanner and Bogert bring their expertise as seasoned industry leaders — and New Yorkers – to the roles. Tanner notes that while NYPR has grown into a multiplatform organization with radio (WNYC, WQXR), digital news, and podcasts with significant national and global reach, its local resonance with New Yorkers is remarkably strong. Bogert explains that at "this historical moment," when investigative newsrooms are disappearing, "local media is where it's at." She believes that the independence of nonprofit media organizations gives them "a particularly special role" to hold political leaders accountable and to rebuild trust in media. While acknowledging any number of challenges — in the industry, in a fraught political environment — Tanner and Bogert are optimistic: about the opportunities for organizations like theirs to collaborate, to "share best practices," to develop more sustainable business models, and to cultivate greater understanding of the need of philanthropy to support media as a critical pillar of our civic infrastructure.

Just get the people in your corner that do.” On advice to entrepreneurs: “Never give up. And protect your credit. Credit is everything.” On consistency: “My phone number has been the same for 23 years. I ain’t going nowhere. Overall Impact The interview positions Michael Woodward as a practical role model—someone who combines humility, preparation, faith, and execution. Rather than promoting quick wins, the conversation emphasizes long‑term discipline, community uplift, and strategic decision‑making. Core message: Sustainable success is built step‑by‑step—through education, relationships, credit discipline, and the courage to say yes before you feel ready. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RDS may be one of the smallest signals your FM station transmits, but getting it right matters more than ever. On Episode 804 of This Week in Radio Tech, broadcast network engineer and podcast host, Tyler Woodward, explains the technical details behind RDS and its U.S. counterpart, RBDS. We discuss the data fields every FM engineer should understand, including PI codes, program type, alternate frequencies, and the way field repetition rates affect what listeners see on their radios. Tyler also explains why accurate PI codes are increasingly important for connected-car services such as RadioDNS and dts AutoStage—and points broadcasters to a useful online tool for verifying the correct PI code for their call letters.

Detroit's drink is turning 160, and there's a big Vernors party in Eastern Market to celebrate. Today, Jer heads into one of the largest Vernors collections anywhere with Keith Wunderlich, founder of the Vernors Club, to talk about how a Civil War–era pharmacy experiment became a Detroit icon. We get into the history behind "Detroit's Drink," from the original Woodward bottling plant to the family business days and beyond, and why the Vernors story still resonates with Detroit's legacy of manufacturing and great food. Then, we look ahead to Sunday's street celebration on Riopelle in Eastern Market, where the Vernors Club is marking the 160th anniversary. Expect a Vernors brunch at Marrow in the Market (yes, gnome waffles and Vernors barbecue), special cocktails, a Boston Cooler cream ale from Eastern Market Brewing, Vernors cream ale tastings, and Milk & Froth scooping Vernors ice cream and floats for the first time since the 1980s. It's family-friendly, too, with Henry the Hatter making gnome hats for kids, coloring tables, and even the Vernors gnome and James Vernor V on hand. If you love Detroit, this one's for you.

In this powerful message, Galen Woodward challenges us to take seriously the call of Nehemiah 4:14 to fight for our families. Drawing from the example of his parents and the leadership of Nehemiah, he shares three essential areas worth fighting for: consistency, godly wisdom, and family security. This message offers practical encouragement for building a Christ-centered home, guarding what matters most, and trusting God to strengthen and protect the next generation. Watch, be encouraged, and share this message with someone who is committed to building a strong family foundation.Scriptures Used:Nehemiah 4:14Nehemiah 6:3Nehemiah 4:9James 1:5Proverbs 4:5-8Nehemiah 7:1, 32 Samuel 23:11-12Links:calvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

What does it take to move from individual contributor to C-Suite and from the public to the private sector? This conversation reveals the hidden mistakes that keep smart people stuck and the mindset leaps required to succeed. In this powerful episode, Dr. Mira Brancu sits down with forensic psychiatrist and CMO, Dr. Mehul Mankad, to explore the real journey from being a high-performing technical expert to becoming an effective executive leader. It dives deep into the mindset shifts required to move from simply doing the work to leading others, including how to handle responsibility, prioritize what truly matters, and influence decisions at a higher level. You'll also learn the stark differences between working in structured environments and stepping into fast-paced startup roles where there's no safety net and accountability is entirely on you. More importantly, this discussion highlights why continuous learning and adaptability matter far more than collecting degrees, and how understanding people, systems, and decision-making can redefine your career path. Whether you're aiming for leadership, considering a career shift, or feeling stuck despite working hard, this episode offers insights that can completely change how you approach growth and success.Ready to stop over-doing and start leading?

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Michael Woodward. Interview Overview Guest: Michael WoodwardHost: Rushion McDonaldShow: Money Making Conversations MasterclassFocus: Entrepreneurship, real estate, education, overcoming poverty, and building generational wealthCompany Featured: Woodward Property Group Michael Woodward shares his journey from growing up in low‑income neighborhoods in Miami to becoming a successful real estate investor, contractor, and property management entrepreneur based in Atlanta. The conversation blends personal history, mindset lessons, and practical business guidance, especially for listeners from underserved communities. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: Demystify success for everyday people by showing how discipline, education, and calculated risk can lead to financial freedom Inspire listeners to move beyond circumstances of poverty or limitation Teach practical strategies around education choices, real estate investing, side hustles, credit management, and seizing opportunity Highlight community impact, mentorship, and “reaching back” to help others Rushion McDonald consistently frames the discussion around helping the audience “stop reading other people’s success stories and start planning your own." Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Poverty Is Relative — and Often Invisible Woodward explains that many people grow up in poverty without realizing it because everyone around them shares the same conditions. He distinguishes between government definitions of poverty and lived experience. Takeaway: Awareness is the first step to change; normal does not always mean acceptable. 2. Early Business Lessons Came from the Community Woodward credits his grandmother—who ran an informal candy business in the housing projects—as his first exposure to entrepreneurship. Watching her manage inventory, customers, and cash taught him foundational business principles. Takeaway: Entrepreneurship often begins long before formal education—especially in underserved communities. 3. Education as a Strategic Tool, Not Just a Degree Initially planning to become a lawyer, Woodward changed direction after realizing law school would not provide the financial or social return he hoped for unless he reached elite status. A mentor guided him toward education as a pathway for impact. He strongly recommends the Occupational Outlook Handbook as a practical guide for choosing careers based on income, longevity, and demand. Takeaway: Choose education intentionally—based on outcomes, not prestige. 4. Service Before Profit: Two Decades in Education Woodward spent over 20 years as a teacher and assistant principal, mentoring students, organizing college tours, and running summer STEM programs—often during his breaks. Takeaway: Long‑term service builds perspective, discipline, and purpose that later pays dividends in business. 5. Turning a Side Hustle into Financial Freedom While working in education, Woodward renovated homes at night and on weekends. Over time, rental income exceeded his school salary, allowing him to retire from education and focus on real estate full‑time. Takeaway: Side hustles can become exit strategies when managed consistently and patiently. 6. Opportunity Comes from Relationships A chance relationship with a Lowe’s executive changed Woodward’s business trajectory. When asked if he could do high‑end kitchens, he said yes—then partnered with the right experts to deliver. This led to contracts in seven Lowe’s stores across metro Atlanta. Takeaway: You don’t have to know everything—just know who to call. 7. High‑End Thinking Changes Income Ceilings Woodward explains the difference between standard and high‑end construction, describing six‑figure kitchens and appliances that cost more than many homes. Takeaway: Understanding premium markets unlocks entirely different financial opportunities. 8. Two Core Business Rules: Persistence and Credit When asked what advice he gives most often, Woodward gives two principles: Never give up Protect your credit He shares how poor credit once forced him to reinvest profits just to buy tools, slowing growth. Managing credit later removed those barriers. Takeaway: Credit is leverage. Without it, growth is harder and more expensive. Notable Quotes On poverty: “A lot of people living in poverty don’t know that they’re impoverished because everybody around them looks just like them.” On education choices: “I wanted to make a difference… and education allowed me to do that.” On opportunity and courage: “You don’t have to know everything. Just get the people in your corner that do.” On advice to entrepreneurs: “Never give up. And protect your credit. Credit is everything.” On consistency: “My phone number has been the same for 23 years. I ain’t going nowhere. Overall Impact The interview positions Michael Woodward as a practical role model—someone who combines humility, preparation, faith, and execution. Rather than promoting quick wins, the conversation emphasizes long‑term discipline, community uplift, and strategic decision‑making. Core message: Sustainable success is built step‑by‑step—through education, relationships, credit discipline, and the courage to say yes before you feel ready. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
