    This One Thing Is Keeping You From Your Next Chapter

    How to get unstuck in life often starts with questioning the things you’ve always assumed were true. In episode 7 of Nobody Knowz, Kali Zamzow flips the script and interviews her own producer, Roberto Rodriguez, founder of SB Studios, about curiosity, personal growth, entrepreneurship, relationships, podcasting, technology, and learning to step outside the invisible “box” that shapes the way we see our lives. Roberto shares how childhood curiosity eventually led him into consumer behavior and marketing, why his first attempts at podcasting failed, the unexpected opportunity that led him to build a podcast studio, and what years of hearing other people’s stories have taught him about human connection. 00:00 – Welcome To Nobody Knowz 02:00 – Why Connecting the Dots Backward Changes Everything 07:00 – The Invisible Box That Shapes Your Life 10:00 – Understanding People Instead of Selling to Them 12:00 – How Better Questions Reveal What You’re Missing 14:00 – Helping People Without Expecting Something Back 20:00 – How to Validate an Idea Without Losing Belief 24:00 – Roberto’s First Attempt at Starting a Podcast 28:00 – The Opportunity That Led to Building a Podcast Studio 31:00 – The Unexpected Origin of Speak Studios 33:00 – Why Execution Matters More Than Having the Idea 36:00 – Why Starting a Podcast Is Harder Than It Looks 38:00 – How Podcasting Becomes a “Super Connector” 44:00 – Why People Get Trapped Inside Their Own Thinking 47:00 – The Human Skills That Matter Most in a Tech-Heavy World 49:00 – What Apple Taught Roberto About Empathy and Stories 52:00 – The Dangerous Belief: “That Won’t Happen to Me” 59:00 – How New People Can Reignite Old Passions 01:00:00 – Why AI and Technology Aren’t Going Away 01:04:00 – How Beginners Can Start Learning About AI 01:07:00 – Stop Trying to Predict Your Exact Future 01:10:00 – How Other People Shape Who You Become 01:11:00 – Final Advice: Stay Curious and Ask Better Questions

    How to Reinvent Yourself When Your Old Life No Longer Fits

    Reinventing yourself when your career, identity, or stage of life no longer fits can be one of the hardest transitions you’ll ever make. In Season 2, Episode 6 of Nobody Knowz, Callie Zamzow sits down with Shawnda Huffman to talk about what it actually takes to let go of one version of yourself and build another. Shawnda spent 22 years in radio after knowing from childhood that broadcasting was what she wanted to do. She worked her way through major markets, interviewed celebrities including Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift, and built a career around storytelling and connection. Then she walked away. Shawnda shares why leaving radio forced her to rethink her identity, how she transitioned into corporate communications, helped build a PR team from the ground up, and eventually launched her own agency. 00:00 – Welcome To Nobody Knowz 01:00 – Reinventing Yourself After a 22-Year Radio Career 09:00 – Why Shawnda Was Ready to Leave Radio 11:00 – Growing Up in Southern Ohio 13:30 – Getting Rejected From Broadcasting School 14:30 – Working Around the Clock to Break Into Radio 18:00 – Meeting Justin Bieber Before He Became a Superstar 20:00 – The Celebrity Interview That Changed Her Perspective 23:30 – What Jennifer Lopez Was Really Like 25:00 – Shawnda's Experience With Taylor Swift 28:00 – Why Great Radio Is Harder Than It Looks 32:00 – Being a Woman in Major-Market Radio 36:00 – Walking Away From the Career She Built Her Life Around 38:00 – Helping Grow a Company From $5M to $50M 43:00 – The Reality of Owning Your Own Business 44:00 – Why Authenticity Matters More Than Perfection 1:02:00 – Why Community Involvement Matters in Business 1:07:00 – The Hardest Reinvention Yet: Becoming an Emp Join the Conversation If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and follow Nobody Knowz wherever you listen or watch.

    How to Build Confidence Starts by Doing What Scares You

    The “Yes, And” mindset isn't just for improv, it can completely change the way you respond to failure, uncertainty, conflict, and the moments in life you can't control. On season 2 episode 5 of the Nobody Knowz Podcast Callie Zamzow sits down with Karen Manthey to explore how thinking like an improviser has shaped her confidence, career, marriage, parenting, relationships, and willingness to step into uncomfortable situations. Karen shares the story she normally leaves out of her bio: growing up as one of 11 children, failing high school, earning her GED, questioning whether she was smart enough, and eventually earning her bachelor's degree and completing her master's in strategic communication.  She also opens up about preparing for her TEDx talk, How to Fight a Karen, coaching speakers, learning when saying “no” is actually saying “yes” to something more important, and why confidence is built by being willing to fail.  00:00 – Welcome to The Nobody Knowz Podcast 03:00 – What the “Yes, And” Mindset Really Means 07:00 – Why Karen Intentionally Teaches People to Fail 14:00 – Building a Career Without a Linear Plan 23:00 – From a GED to Earning Her Master’s Degree 28:00 – Preparing for “How to Fight a Karen” TEDx Talk 40:00 – Why Karen Thinks Improv Could “Save the World” 41:00 – What 25 Years of Marriage Taught Her 44:00 – Karen Confronts Her Own “Inner Karen” 46:00 – Why Online Disagreement Has Become So Toxic 51:00 – Learning to Say Yes to the Right Things 55:00 – What Karen Wishes Every Person Knew 57:00 – Authentic Positivity vs. Toxic Positivity 58:00 – Closing Join the Conversation If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and follow Nobody Knowz wherever you listen or watch.

    Kids Don’t Need More Information (They Need More Experience)

    Screen time and child development are at the center of this conversation with Ada Page of the Children’s Museum of Idaho.  Kids have access to more information than ever before but are they losing the real-world experiences that help them learn, connect, problem-solve, and grow? On season 2 episode 4 of the Nobody Knowz Podcast, Callie sits down with Ada Page, newly appointed Executive Director of the Children’s Museum of Idaho, to explore what children actually need to thrive in a screen-filled world. Ada explains why learning through play, hands-on experiences, boredom, curiosity, social interaction, and even learning how to lose can teach children skills that are difficult to replicate through a screen. They discuss the “heads down generation,” kindergarten readiness, declining everyday skills like tying shoes, childhood loneliness, social anxiety, unstructured play, parent-child interaction, and why children often remember real experiences far longer than anything they watched on a device. Ada also shares practical ways parents can become more intentional without completely overhauling family life including replacing some screen time with experiences, asking better questions during play, letting children become bored, and starting with one simple activity parents remember loving themselves as kids. The conversation also explores the work of the Children’s Museum of Idaho, its hands-on exhibits, community programs, educational outreach, homeschool initiatives, and the role places like it can play in helping families reconnect through play. 00:00 – Welcome to The Nobody Knowz Podcast 03:00 – Why Hands-On Play Still Matters 05:15 – Inside the Children’s Museum of Idaho 10:35 – The “Heads Down Generation” 12:00 – Why We’ve Become So Attached to Screens 14:20 – What Kids Lose When Screens Take Over 18:00 – Kindergarten Readiness Is Changing 19:30 – Social Skills Kids Learn Through Real Interaction 20:40 – Screen Time, Loneliness, and Childhood Anxiety 23:00 – When Should Kids Get Their First Phone? 25:30 – Why Children Learn Best Through Play 27:15 – Why “Unproductive” Play Is Actually Valuable 31:30 – Why Kids Need to Learn How to Lose 35:00 – Why Boredom Is Actually Good for Kids 37:30 – Helping Kids Discover What They Actually Enjoy 38:00 – Affordable Ways to Visit the Children’s Museum 43:15 – Why Real Experiences Stick With Kids 46:30 – What Children Actually Remember From Childhood 52:15 – How To Create Experiences Families Can Do Together 56:00 – How the Children’s Museum of Idaho Began 58:30 – Community Events and Hands-On Experiences 1:01:30 – New Resources for Homeschool Families 1:03:00 – One Thing Every Parent Can Try This Week 1:05:00 – Closing Thoughts Join the Conversation If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and follow Nobody Knowz wherever you listen or watch.

    How This 586-Year-Old Industry Survived Every Technology Shift

    HOW DIGITAL PRINTING HELPED A 130-YEAR-OLD BUSINESS SURVIVE Digital printing completely changed the print industry, forcing traditional printing companies to adapt to faster production, smaller orders, and new customer expectations. In season 2 episode 2 of Nobody Knowz, Callie sits down with Scott Gipson of Caxton Printers to explore how a family-owned printing and publishing company founded in 1895 survived the transition from traditional printing to digital technology and what artificial intelligence could change next. HOW DIGITAL PRINTING CHANGED THE PRINT INDUSTRY When Caxton Printers began in Caldwell, Idaho, newspapers, books, advertisements, business records, and public information all depended on physical print. Early printing required individual pieces of lead type to be arranged by hand before words could be transferred onto paper. Today, Caxton uses advanced digital printing technology that can produce materials faster, more efficiently, and in smaller quantities. Scott explains that print did not die when digital technology arrived. The industry changed, and printing companies had to change with it. HOW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS CHANGING PUBLISHING After surviving the transition to digital printing and e-books, the publishing industry is now entering another major technological shift. Scott explains how Caxton already uses artificial intelligence for correspondence, fact-checking, book-cover concepts, design assistance, and publishing workflows. He also believes AI could have a larger impact on textbooks and education than the original transition from printed textbooks to digital textbooks. A digital textbook still asks a student to read traditional material on a screen. Artificial intelligence could completely change how students find information, interact with educational content, and complete assignments. WHY PRINT ISN’T DEAD The print industry has repeatedly been declared dead, but Scott believes that description misunderstands what happened. Print did not disappear. The amount being printed changed, the technology improved, and the reasons people choose physical materials became more specific. Books, educational materials, historical records, specialized publications, and commercial printing still serve purposes that digital media cannot completely replace. The future is not necessarily print versus digital. It is understanding which format delivers the most value for a particular audience, message, or experience. 00:00 – Welcome to The Nobody Knowz Podcast 02:05 – Six Generations of a Family Printing Business 05:15 – How Caxton Preserved Family Ownership 08:00 – Why Caxton Must Continue Publishing Books 09:25 – Changes Facing the Print Industry 11:15 – Traditional Printing vs. Digital Printing 16:20 – How Caxton Became a Recognized Book Publisher 19:15 – Protecting a 130-Year-Old Family Business 21:00 – Why Print Is Not Dead 22:30 – How Businesses Survive Major Change 23:25 – The Fire That Destroyed Caxton Printers 26:00 – How Community Supports Local Businesses 29:15 – The Future of Community Leadership 31:00 – Why Younger Leaders Need Mentorship 36:20 – Why Physical Books Still Matter 37:30 – How Print on Demand Changed Publishing 40:20 – The Book Publishing Process Explained 43:35 – How AI Could Change Textbooks 45:20 – How Publishers Are Using Artificial Intelligence 47:00 – The Future of Printing and Publishing Join the Conversation If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and follow Nobody Knowz wherever you listen or watch.

    The Water Problem Nobody Talks About

    Idaho’s water crisis is exposing just how fragile the Treasure Valley’s water supply can become during an extreme drought year. Most of us turn on a sprinkler without thinking about where that water comes from or what has to happen behind the scenes to make sure it reaches our neighborhoods. In Season 2 episode 1 of Nobody Knowz, Callie sits down with Mack Myers of Settlers Irrigation District to unpack how Idaho's irrigation system actually works, why low mountain snowpack matters so much, and how homeowners may be unintentionally wasting more water than they realize.  They break down how Treasure Valley reservoirs supply irrigation water, the difference between city and irrigation water, why aquifer recharge is becoming increasingly important as farmland becomes subdivisions, and how Idaho's rapid growth is changing a water system originally built around agriculture. This episode is for Idaho homeowners, Treasure Valley residents, and anyone wondering where our water actually comes from and what happens when there isn't enough of it. #Idaho #TreasureValley #WaterConservation #drought 00:00 – Welcome to Season 2 of Nobody Knowz 00:55 – How Serious Is Idaho’s Water Crisis? 01:20 – How Irrigation Built the Treasure Valley 03:15 – Why Idaho Depends So Heavily on Snowpack 04:10 – Why Summer Rain Doesn’t Solve the Problem 05:15 – How Treasure Valley Irrigation Districts Work 06:30 – City Water vs. Irrigation Water 10:20 – What Happens During an Idaho Water Shortage? 12:00 – How Conservation Extended One Irrigation Season 13:15 – The Biggest Watering Mistake Homeowners Make 17:00 – How Irrigation Supply and Demand Actually Works 22:00 – Idaho’s Growing Aquifer Recharge Problem 27:30 – What Happens When Homeowners Waste Water 30:00 – How Idaho’s Relationship With Water Has Changed 32:30 – Growth Is Changing the Treasure Valley Water System 39:15 – The Massive System Six People Help Manage 43:40 – The #1 Thing Idaho Homeowners Can Do 48:00 – Why Your Watering Schedule Matters So Much 50:15 – Protecting Idaho’s Water for the Next Generation
