Part 1 of 2 Bestselling author and award-winning journalist Adam Skolnick spoke with us about earning his 10,000 hours, living with yours truly in a trailer in the mountains, and his much-anticipated debut novel, AMERICAN TIGER. I am joined by my co-host Milena Gonzalez. Adam Skolnick is an author and award-winning journalist who covers travel, adventure and endurance sports, and the environment. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Outside, Wired, Lonely Planet, and Men's Health. He's the author of One Breath: Freediving, Death and the Quest to Shatter Human Limits, and the ghostwriter and audiobook narrator of the bestselling David Goggins memoirs, Can't Hurt Me and Never Finished. A frequent contributor on The Rich Roll Podcast, he lives in Southern California where he was born and raised. His debut novel, American Tiger (available for preorder now, out December 2, 2025), “Based on true events, rooted in the stunning Southern California landscape, and populated with vivid characters, [the book] is more than a frantic tiger hunt. It's about a child's quest for self-discovery, her stoic father's struggle to come to terms with their past, and the innate wildness of every living thing.” Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Hello Beautiful, wrote that the book, “Gripped me from the first page. Rarely have I read a novel with such an exquisite sense of place.” [This episode is sponsored by Ulysses.

On today's show it's all about Bruce Lee! Writer Jeff Chang has a new book. It's called "Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America."
Barry Krutchik is an legendary Hollywood and pop culture journalist who has conducted over 2000 celebrity interviews across music, film & television over the past 40 years, capturing raw, unscripted moments — from Bob Hope to The Beastie Boys, Santana to Stevie Wonder, Jerry Seinfeld to Jay Z, Mick Jagger, Keanu Reaves, Dave Chappelle, Celine Dion ... basically, the biggest stars EVER! Whether backstage or behind the camera, Barry's authenticity & quick humor helped high-profile stars feel at home, resulting in raw, unscripted moments. Barry makes things fun! After a decade, he stopped doing interviews in 2002. “By the third time you're interviewing Peter Frampton, it might be time to try something else” he jokes, a surreal realization, considering that twelve-year-old Barry would've never believed he'd even meet Frampton. So, he launched Krutchie Entertainment and, using his vast trove of celebrity contacts, began booking talent and producing high-impact media events for the Grammys, MTV, BET, FOX, Cirque du Soleil, and more. Over the decades, as technology, public relations and the world of entertainment changed radically, Barry's professional opportunities also changed. He was no longer a hungry young journalist but a seasoned gentleman in an industry looking for youth and diversity. Then, Covid destroyed his live events business overnight. Terrified, Barry had to reinvent himself. This journeyman is now activating his extraordinary content. He has a new book coming out, Classic Conversations: ‘90s Hip Hop and R&B featuring his intimate, one-of-a-kind moments and quotes with hip hop and R&B royalty. Each interview includes entertaining commentary that only Barry has the ability to provide. In addition, Barry recently returned to interviewing with a one-on-one sit down with Lady Gaga. And, he has new projects in the pipeline harnessing his treasure trove of celebrity content

Tap here to send us a message!When Moses descended from Mount Sinai and shattered the tablets of stone, it seemed as though the covenant itself had been broken beyond repair. Yet God, rich in mercy, offered Moses and the people a new beginning by writing His words on the stone once again. In the same way, when we fail or “break” what God has entrusted to us, His grace meets us with another chance, rewriting hope and purpose into our lives.11/20/2025 - Thursday NightScriptures:Exodus 32:15-19Exodus 24:12-18Ephesians 3:8Psalm 145:3Isaiah 55:9Jeremiah 18:4Psalm 150Exodus 34:1Romans 12:1Exodus 34:29

The Semantic Layer and AI Agents // MLOps Podcast #343 with David Jayatillake, VP of AI at Cube.dev.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractDavid Jayatillake argues that the real battle in data isn't about AI — it's about who controls the semantics.

David and Demetrios debate whether semantic layers should live in open-source hands and how AI agents might soon replace entire chunks of manual data engineering. From feature stores to LLM-driven analytics, this conversation challenges how we think about ownership, access, and the future of data workflows.// BioExperienced and world-renowned data, technology, and AI leader.

Today's guest is one of the most exciting young artists in the world right now.A once-in-a-generation artist writing and producing every record himself — and turning that independence into global hits.His records aren't just topping charts — many of them are 100%ers. Self-written, self-produced, and streamed hundreds of millions of times.He's building a world entirely his own...In this episode of And The Writer Is, Ross Golan sits down with Sombr to unpack how he:
Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson welcome professional artist and one of only nine Master Penmen in the world, Jake Weidmann. Certified through IAMPETH in 2011, Jake holds the honor of being the youngest Master Penman by three decades—and the youngest ever to achieve the title. His peers have created works for the White House, Queen Elizabeth, and even the Pope, but Jake's journey has uniquely blended calligraphy with fine art, painting, drawing, woodworking, and engraving.Jake shares how faith shaped his career from the very beginning, even when industry professionals warned him not to make it explicit. Instead, leaning into his relationship with Jesus led to surprising opportunities, including his celebrated hymn series. He also opens up about overcoming struggles with self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and the “starving artist” complex, and how God has redeemed his perspective of calling.In this conversation, Jake reveals stories of marketplace miracles—from divine provision of materials like the wood for The Old Rugged Cross, to being placed before people and companies with favor and authority far beyond what he could have imagined. His life verse, Proverbs 22:29, has marked his journey: “See a man gifted in his work. He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.”
