This week we connected with Ashley Corts, usually holding court as the owner and operator of the Black Forge Coffee locations, but this time while she was trekking across the midwest in the Black Forge Coffee Van. As an owner of music venues and a huge supporter of the music and entertainment industry, Ashley felt compelled to literally hit the road and do whatever it is that she can to support struggling venues across the country.
Strange and trying would be massively understated descriptors of the times we're living in right now. Many people all over the United States will have shared in a similar experience of having not attended any live concerts or live entertainment, certainly not in the traditional sense we used to 12 months ago. Pair that with the fact that the government on every level has largely turned its back on providing any meaningful relief to the floundering industry, leaving stages all over the country to scrape and claw their way through this ordeal while their main and often only source of income is deemed unsafe and prohibited.
Thus... the Save Our Stages Tour was born- S.O.S.
Enjoy!!!

#20 - w/ Pierce Marratto, Visual Artist
We get by with a little help from our friends. 'All Systems Good' is back from a long hiatus, but it couldn't be more exciting to put an end to our cold streak by sitting down with long-time friend and insanely talented Visual Artist, Pierce Marratto. Pierce announced he's hosting an art show of his original work, Skate or Die - An exhibition of original skate deck art, and we dug into everything in and around the event.
This episode is a very unique slice of entertaining because as if the announcement of Pierce's show wasn't big enough, we started peeling back the layers behind why this particular art show is so special. There's a recurring theme of acknowledging our age, at moments in more heavy context, but mostly in sense of reaffirming passions we have, why we've held them so long, and why they still have longevity into our futures. This art show has deep roots that helped set the foundation for the trajectory of Pierce's life, including meeting Eli during their teen years.
This is a conversation that reinforces the importance and the valuable weight communities carry and have in people's lives. It touches on young wisdom colliding with creativity and how that can take the act of creating from being not only an outlet, but also a reward in and of itself. And it's a conversation that repeatedly demonstrates that taking the risk and seizing opportunities to pursue your passions can lead to unexpected doors that open to beautiful things.

#19 - w/ Andy Norman, Author & Philosopher
This week we have the pleasure of sharing with you our conversation with Andy Norman, Philosopher by training and author of the book 'MENTAL IMMUNITY: Infectious Ideas, Mind-Parasites, and the Search for a Better Way to Think'. If the name and face strike you as familiar, you might have caught him on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience- you know... the biggest podcast on the planet. It's becoming abundantly obvious that the conflicts occurring on the cultural level are extremely potent and there are no sectors not at risk of being subject to exposure, including business. In some cases, many businesses are actively engaging in said conflicts. Conflict by nature is on some level, a clash of ideas and Andy explains how it has become imperative become aware of our mind's immune system and how to use the tools of Philosophers that have held up over the test of time to strengthen and build up our mental immunity to rapid-spreading parasitic ideas.
Click here to pick up a copy of Andy's Book.
We cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time starting at how Andy's book, 'Mental Immunity'- its existence has origins of becoming necessary from as far back as 30 year ago. Philosophy's fundamental value of the search for wisdom becomes the road map for how to build and strengthen one's mental immunity to "mind viruses". You'll hear about whether you're the type of person prone to parasitic ideas, the value of Devil's Advocate arguments, the need to matter, roots of cancel culture and the road to complete delusion.
With so much information swirling around and designed to make you have an immediate emotional response, there are people like Andy out there trying to help you sort through it all and build a strong defense mechanism for how to protect your most valuable possession... your mind.
Enjoy!

This week we have a returning guest back on to give us some exciting news she has coming up in pretty short order. Sarah Wahl stops back in with 'All Systems Good' to talk about her returning to Pittsburgh to be a part of her first Gallery Art show. We dive into the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How details on the front end, so rest assured those details aren't buried in the middle or the tail end of our conversation.
If you caught our last conversation, there should be no surprise that we found ourselves running toward topics of inspiration. One very specific example was how the impact of our actions manifested into personal inspiration even though those actions weren't focused to necessarily have that impact. Inspiration thematically reemerges in our discussion talking about the journey of the Artist and Musicians being very similar and having many parallels with each other. This conversation melds aspects of positive vibes, intentionality, human nature, creativity, travel and opportunity all in one stream of consciousness. We hope you enjoy it and remember, whenever possible...
Bump the Lamp.
Enjoy!!!

It's been a long time coming but we finally linked up with Award-Winning Sportscaster, Josh Taylor, to talk about everything we could think of around the world of Broadcast Media and Sports Broadcasting. The foundation of the conversation is built on the idea of our relationship between work and self-worth and meaning. It was a thoughtful discussion about perspective, wellness, sleep, and valuing the time we have while we're here.
The general direction kicks off with the societal narratives being spun about whether or not people feel too entitled to work and from there, hit on everything from prep-work in sportscasting to personal skillsets that turn out to be surprisingly useful, to the life decisions most people never see before a someone becomes on-camera talent, to a bunch of steamy hot takes about the local Pittsburgh Sports Franchises.
Come hang out with us and weigh in with your own thoughts on balance, struggle, meaning and perspective, as well as your thoughts on our takes on these topics.
Also... Once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal.
Enjoy!!!
