Bottomless Coffee Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jerome Evans
Bottomless Coffee is a podcast for people who want to be inspired or empowered to transform their communities for the better. Host Jerome Evans has great conversations with people who are taking steps - even small ones - to make the world a more inclusive, environmentally conscious, or caring place.
We talk with author Zaylore Stout about the censoring of queer media and the oppression of LGBTQ+ culture. And as luck would have it - our very first episode was a celebration of Zaylore's book Our Gay History in 50 States; a book of queer history that has been targeted by anti-LGBTQ+ activists.
Zaylore is also the founder of Zaylore Stout & Associates so he is able to give us a unique perspective on book bans in America.
Clarence Jones has worked for years to keep us and our communities healthy, and he continues to do so! Clarence is the Executive Director and Community Engagement Strategist of the Hue-MAN Partnership- a coalition of collaborators that strengthen community health through innovative partnerships. He is also an Adjunct Instructor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic. Clarence has a long list of committees, programs, and projects that he has worked on and received many local and national awards.

Let's talk about respect! I asked people on social media to send me the names of the people that they respect - and not one person they sent was a member of the queer community!
So I had some questions. Namely: who do you respect, why do you respect them, what does your behavior look like when its directed towards people that you respect, and should there be more members of the queer community on the list of people that you respect?
I asked those questions to Dr. Ron Hunter and I think that his responses were enlightening. We previously spoke with Ron about mentorship and that episode is one of our highest rated episodes to date.
Ron is a dear friend who takes respect VERY seriously and in this conversation he challenges me about some of my thoughts on why the queer community doesn't get the respect that I think we deserve.
After the conversation you can at https://www.linkedin.com/in/RonHunterPHD.
Do the actions of the queer community matter as much as those of other communities? Because as a society we seem acknowledge and preserve the historic spaces of straight people far more often than we do of queer people. Why is that?
To help answer that question I flew down to Atlanta Georgia and sat down with preservationist Charlie Paine.
Charlie is a thought leader in the queer preservation movement and his insights have changed the way that I look at and value our queer spaces. Enjoy!
I caught up with Simon as he was going through a change in his life. Just getting out of a throuple. Trying to move forward in his career. And really in the midst of figuring out who he is and what will set his life up for long-term happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment. I think that a lot of the queer community in this same space, this same place and the process of trying to break through and get to where you want to BE makes for a conversation that I think you’ll enjoy.

This is a conversation that you'll come back to again and again. In this episode of Bottomless Coffee Podcast Jerome and guest Brad Forenza explore the intersection of human connection, avian homicide, and the creative arts. And unless I miss my guess - they also become friends!
Around the Sun is a scripted, episodic audio drama that explores human connections, made and missed, with an existential flare. Whether consumed together or independently, the comedy, tragedy, and soul of Around the Sun embraces one character’s assertion that, “We’re never alone… even if it feels like the opposite is often true.” The series was created by Brad Forenza, and produced via remote technology throughout the pandemic, and onward.

Have you ever wondered about the path that brings people to celebrity fashion design? In this episode we talk with William Ramseur, a designer who has worked on projects for big names like: Bruno Mars, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Nas X, and Jonas. Within a month of graduating from design school, William was being called on to design for well known brands. But - as we talk about in the episode - this isn't some overnight success story. It has taken years of education, balancing work and romance, and overcoming imposter syndrome for William to get to where he is today.

We're working through Chapter 2 of What Happened to You and the topic is Seeking Balance. This chapter further focuses on how we move ourselves from feeling bad to feeling good, or - in the language of the book - from being disregulated to being regulated. The actions that we take to move ourselves into a regulated state matter because the the things that make us feel good - or regulated - are not always the things that will help us to thrive. In fact, if we have experienced trauma then the things that make us feel regulated might actually be bad for us. In this episode we talk through how the work of cutting out actions that make us feel regulated but keep us from thriving is the work that helps us to heal.
Who taught you what to do with your money? Today we're talking with Derek Grahn about financial literacy, the knowledge that we need in order to make important financial decisions. Derek is a Business Education Teacher, Adjunct Professor, Small Business Owner, and - as you'll hear in this episode - a straight up knowledge dropper!
Many Americans are reckoning with the fact that policy, politics, and partisanship can impact them on the most fundamental level and they're asking two questions. How did we get here and how do we fix this? In this conversation, I talk with Minnesota Education Policy Fellowship leader Troy Haugen as he walks us through the interaction of policy, politics, and partisanship at the intersection of our lives: including bodily autonomy, education, and our fundamental civil liberties.
Guest Dr. Nathan Chomilo is the former director of vaccine equity for the Minnesota Department of Health.

In this episode we work through Chapter 1 of What Happened to You by Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Bruce Perry. We explore the intersection of our brains, how our brains process information, and how traumatic events can stick with us long after the circumstances surrounding those events have passed. https://marymered.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/screenshot-2020-10-03-at-12.07.20.png (Dr. Perry Brain Triangle)
It's time to level up! As we work to deepen our conversations with our friends, family, and community - it's important to consider the experiences that other people are bringing into the conversation with them. As the host of Bottomless Coffee, I want to be able to bring in a trauma-informed approach to every conversation that calls for it. So - I turned to Oprah. Oprah Winfrey partnered with brain development and trauma expert Dr. Bruce D. Perry to write What Happened to You? A book that works to shift the way that we think about people who have experienced trauma. We will work through the book and reflect on its lessons. And by the end, we will all know more about trauma, how it might manifest in our networks, and how we can help to heal the trauma within ourselves and help others resolve the trauma that they carry within themselves.

On this special episode of Bottomless Coffee Podcast we're talking about butts with David Russo, the founder of Cheeky Charity and the #MarchYourButt movement! Okay, more specifically, we're talking about the importance of preventative screenings for colorectal cancer. Many of us have delayed routine physicals and doctor recommended screenings because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That is leading to a rise in incidents of late detection for serious issues. With Cheeky Charity, David is determined to leveraging the shock value of cheeky images to help raise awareness for this important issue.

Team Dynamics drops by for a conversation on their new book Hiring Revolution: A Guide to Disrupt Racism and Sexism in Hiring! About Team Dynamics: Team Dynamics is an LGBTQ+, People of Color and woman-owned company that helps people and employers meet their diversity, equity and inclusion goals. We are focused on helping leaders and workplaces live up to their potential through intentional and meaningful culture change.

Finding a decent place is one of the drivers of our health and success. But for a long time access to some housing was kept as a privilege for a certain few. In today's conversation we talk with Tom Wheeler of The Wheeler Group and HomeFound Boise about LGBTQ discrimination in housing. Tom is in the unique position of working in two real estate markets, Minnesota and Idaho. In his work, Tom has noticed that the legal protections that exist statewide in Minnesota are only present at the county level in Idaho. That has led to overt and implicit discrimination against LGBTQ people in Idaho. Tom advocates for increased LGBTQ protections in Idaho and works to educate his peers in the industry about the biases that they may be bringing into their businesses. https://www.BottomlessCoffeeShow.com (Visit us at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com) https://www.store.bottomlesscoffeepodcast.com/ (Buy a mug at the Bottomless Coffee Shop!) https://www.patreon.com/BottomlessCoffee (Support our Community on Patreon) Follow the show! https://www.instagram.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Instagram) https://www.facebook.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Facebook)

Just because you've lost touch with someone, doesn't mean that you can't reconnect with them. In fact, reconnecting and staying connected with friends has a profoundly positive impact on our mental health. You'll be able to hear that in this episode. In this conversation I reconnect with my friend Nakeisha Daniel. Actor. Director. Choreographer. Educator. And Assistant Professor of African American Theater & Performance at The College of Charleston. We laugh, talk through our lengthy friendship, and catch-up on how life has changed since COVID-19. And at the same time, we model how easy it is to reconnect with people that you may have lost touch with. Give this episode a listen and then reach out to someone that you haven't chatted with in a while. I bet that you'll find your conversation with your friend as enriching as I found my conversation with mine.

Hey all! I think that this conversation will really brighten up your day! Which is kind of a feat since the topic of this episode is climate change and my mind generally goes to a dark place when I'm thinking about that subject. So big credit goes to our guest Spencer Scott for radiating climate optimism during our conversation and for painting a picture of a more regenerative and equitable future that is worth fighting for and worth hoping for. https://www.bottomlesscoffeeshow.com/ (Visit us at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com) https://www.store.bottomlesscoffeepodcast.com/ (Buy a mug at the Bottomless Coffee Shop!) https://www.patreon.com/BottomlessCoffee (Support our Community on Patreon) Follow the show! https://www.instagram.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Instagram) https://www.facebook.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Facebook)

Today we are talking about maintaining relationships with Yevgeniy Izrayelit. In this conversation we follow the many twists and turns of Yevgeniy's professional journey and the relationships that helped get him to where he is today. Yevgeniy's story is one example of maintaining familial and professional relationships over time and eventually leveraging those relationships for his professional benefit. And personal professional advancement is certainly one way to exert the power that comes with connection. But this IS Bottomless Coffee and - to the extent that we are concerned about bettering our families, friend groups, or communities - I hope that we remember that connection and relationships can be leveraged to help effect that change as well as for benefitting ourselves. https://www.bottomlesscoffeeshow.com/ (Visit us at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com) https://www.store.bottomlesscoffeepodcast.com/ (Buy a mug at the Bottomless Coffee Shop!) https://www.patreon.com/BottomlessCoffee (Support our Community on Patreon) Follow the show! https://www.instagram.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Instagram) https://www.facebook.com/BottomlessCoffeeShow (Facebook)

Expectations are tricky things, and we deal with them every day in the systems we create - community expectations, religious expectations, and expectations with friends and acquaintances. In a relationship with your spouse, expectations help to reinforce the system your household relies on to conduct its business. You expect that the bills will be paid, you expect that the dog will be walked, and so on. But as a lot of parents know, when you place those same expectations on children who don't have a say in how the system runs - it can lead to problems. So think about those community expectations, religious expectations, and the systems they create. Who had a seat at the table in creating those expectations? And as a result - what consequences do we now live with? Today we're having a conversation with Simon Goettl about how personal, familial, and societal expectations intersect - and how those expectations can contribute to resentment in some cases, and to success in others. https://www.patreon.com/bottomlesscoffee (Support Bottomless Coffee on Patreon!) https://www.instagram.com/jerometevans (Connect with Jerome on Instagram) https://www.bottomlesscoffeepodcast.com/ (Bottomless Coffee Website) Patreon Producers: Aaron Weiss Alex Palacios Ron Hunter Colin Gillens Brendan Phillips

Today we're talking with city planner Ryan Colburn about racism and environmentalism within the context of city planning. After this conversation - I no longer look at the cities that I call home the same way. So much of the segregation that we live with and the environmental costs that we continue to pay are the result of bad community planning.

Most of us never think about caregiving before we become caregivers ourselves. But when it happens - when you become a caregiver - your life totally changes. And because so few people who aren't caregivers really think about caregiving - your new life as a caregiver can be a lonely one. Our guest today - Rachel Austin - is changing that. Rachel founded the Love Labor Project to connect caregivers - especially young caregivers - so that they can be emotionally supported by people who understand what they're going through.
