    TKFM Quick Hits #10: "Let's Talk Email Lists!"

    One oft forgotten unsung hero of the internet is the e-mail list.   In a world with social media focuses, YouTube, Tweets, blog posts, it's easy to assume that e-mail and e-mail lists are dead.   Quite the contrary. E-mail still is a central focus of password resets, basic communication, file and information exchange, and a foundational way to stay in touch with the followers and fans of your brand or business.   In this TKFM Quick Hit, Olivia and I discuss just this, and delve into it's continued relevance and viability for anyone building a brand or business online!

    EP081 "The Journey of a Music Educator: The John Smayda Interview"

    Recently, I sat down with John Smayda—my former music teacher and mentor from Plainville High School—and we got into his journey through music education, what shaped his teaching philosophy, and the key moments from his career in and around the music industry. We talked a lot about mentorship and why it matters, plus how music education can leave a lasting impact on students’ lives. We also touched on how the music world is changing fast, especially with AI entering the picture. More than anything, the conversation was a reminder of the joy of creating and performing music—and how passing that spark on to others is so crucial to music creation and education.

    TKFM Quick Hits #8: "The Power of Creating Space"

    Have you ever filled your schedule up so much you don't have a second to breathe?  A second to reflect on what you've done and accomplished?  Feeling like you need to live up to some expectation or story you've concocted inside your head? Try making space.   That's right.  Slow down.  Take a break.  Clock out for the day on something you've been hammering away at.  The perspectives that arise from taking that moment to reflect will have you thinking differently on being "busy" and whether that's effective or not. Olivia eloquently discusses her journey with this, and her poignant words and perspective are a great guide and lesson on the value of making space in whatever we do.

    TKFM Quick Hits #7: "Extraction Shooters - Gaming's Next Big Thing"

    In this TKFM Quick Hit, Mike Aransky and I delve into Extractions Shooters and what they mean to the next generation of gamers (and legacy gamers like ourselves!) One of the newest and really intriguing games in this genre is Arc Raiders.  So what is it? Arc Raiders is an Extraction Shooter that hits that sweet spot where every run feels like a gamble you chose to take. It’s a third-person extraction shooter, but it doesn’t play like a mindless loot vacuum. You drop into a harsh, half-reclaimed world, scavenge what you can, take fights you think you can win, and then try to get out alive with your pockets full and your pride intact. In Arc Raiders, the tension is the whole point. One minute you’re calmly grabbing materials and hunting for upgrades, and the next you’re hearing something mechanical and enormous moving nearby—and your brain immediately starts doing that math: Do I push deeper for better loot, or do I cut losses and extract right now? Because if you get greedy (and you will), the game will happily remind you what “consequences” means.
