Mimms Museum of Technology and Art founders, Karin and Lonnie, recently joined The Ash Said It Show for an exclusive interview, providing an in-depth look at their new, highly-anticipated iNSPIRE exhibit. The conversation covered the museum's origin story, the curation process for the largest public collection of Apple products ever assembled, and the unique intersection of technology and art. The Vision: Why a Museum for Tech? The founders first discussed the driving force behind the museum's creation. They detailed the specific inspiration that led to the launch of a highly shareable social media campaign, "Show Us Your Apples," designed to promote the new exhibit. This campaign aims to tap into the public's emotional connection and personal history with Apple innovation. Curating iNSPIRE: The Apple Collection Lonnie shared insights into the immense scale of the iNSPIRE exhibit, which is billed as the most extensive public collection of Apple products anywhere. The founders revealed the intensive curatorial process required for a collection of this magnitude, touching on the most challenging artifacts to acquire and the surprising items that tell a richer, untold history of Apple. Visitors can expect to find stories and artifacts unavailable in books or online archives. Bridging Technology and Art A central focus of the discussion was how the Mimms Museum blends its two components: technology and art. Lonnie explained how the iNSPIRE exhibit successfully bridges this gap, confirming that the display will feature art pieces and creative works inspired by Apple products. * Interactive Exhibits: Following the art discussion, the founders touched on the planned interactive exhibits, many of which will also feature a creative or art component, ensuring an engaging, hands-on visitor experience. The Future of Public Engagement When asked about the highly successful "Show Us Your Apples" campaign, the founders addressed their plans for integrating submissions. They confirmed that the museum is waiting to gauge the full public response but plans to incorporate submissions digitally and through social sharing. The public’s personal stories and photos are intended to be a vital part of the overall experience. The Message for the Next Generation The conversation concluded with a powerful question about legacy and purpose: Why is it crucial to dedicate a massive museum exhibit to a company's past innovations in a world defined by constant technological release? Lonnie and Karin shared the overarching message they hope to convey to the next generation of innovators who visit Mimms, emphasizing the importance of studying history to shape the future of technology.

Author Paula Franklin recently sat down with The Ash Said It Show for an exclusive interview to discuss her raw and riveting memoir, Fear Unraveled: A Journey Through Life, Bikers, Boaters, and the Bible. Blending humor, heartbreak, and spiritual transformation, Paula’s book offers a deeply personal look at her unconventional life—from growing up near the Blackstone Rangers in Chicago to finding redemption through faith. 📘 About the Book: Fear Unraveled Fear Unraveled is a confessional-style memoir filled with short, punchy stories—most under a page—organized by age and life stages. Paula’s writing is intentionally candid, often shocking, and always infused with humor. She describes the book as “upbeat for the most part,” aiming to make readers laugh, cry, and reflect on their own journeys. 🧭 Themes of Transformation and Faith The memoir began as a personal project for Paula’s son, James, who asked her to document her life experiences. What emerged is a spiritual journey that weaves together encounters with boaters, bikers, and the Blackstone Rangers, all anchored by Paula’s evolving relationship with God. From a self-described “weekend warrior partier” to a woman transformed by Bible study, Paula’s story is one of redemption and purpose. Key themes include: Confession and raw honesty about addiction, rebellion, and spiritual awakening Drama and travel through decades of cultural upheaval and personal chaos Faith and transformation, culminating in a renewed life in Christ 🗣️ Interview Highlights: Ash Said It Show In her interview, Paula dives into the emotional and spiritual layers of her memoir. She discusses the impact of historical events like the Civil Rights Movement, the influence of pop culture icons like Elvis and the Beatles, and the societal shifts that shaped her worldview. She also reflects on her family's struggles with addiction and the healing power of scripture. ✝️ A Message of Hope and Legacy Paula’s memoir is more than a collection of stories—it’s a call to faith. She hopes her transparency will encourage others to seek Jesus and embrace their own spiritual journeys. Her favorite scripture, Matthew 7:1, serves as a guiding principle throughout the book: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” Get The Book Here: https://a.co/d/1ololAL Ash Brown: Your Ultimate Guide to Inspiration, Empowerment & Action Looking for a motivational speaker, authentic podcaster, or influential media personality who can spark your journey toward personal growth?

The energy drink industry is rapidly evolving — moving beyond sugary caffeine bombs toward functional wellness beverages that support performance, recovery, and immunity. In a must-hear episode of the Ash Said It Show, Mocean CEO Tony Vieira breaks down how his new brand is redefining what energy means for modern adults. Launching October 2025, Mocean is a low-calorie, low-carb, and taurine-free energy drink designed for fitness-focused, health-conscious consumers. It’s packed with a powerful blend of echinacea, elderberry, ginseng, magnesium, and shiso — a rare botanical making its first-ever appearance in U.S. beverages. 🌿 Functional Ingredients. No BS. Mocean skips the synthetic additives and delivers: Clean energy without the crash Immune support from elderberry and echinacea Mental clarity and stress relief from ginseng and magnesium Anti-inflammatory benefits from shiso, a plant revered in Eastern medicine 🚫 Why Mocean Refuses Taurine Unlike 99% of energy drinks on the market, Mocean is proudly taurine-free. In the interview, Vieira explains why this matters — citing growing concerns around taurine’s long-term effects and the need for transparent, science-backed alternatives. 🍻 From White Claw to Wellness Tony Vieira isn’t new to beverage innovation. As the former Brew Master behind White Claw’s explosive rise, he understands how to build brands that resonate. Now, with Mocean, he’s focused on creating a drink that supports real performance, not just a temporary buzz. Joined by his son Christian Vieira, the duo is on a mission to disrupt the energy drink category with a product that’s clean, functional, and built for adults — not teenagers chasing a sugar high. 🔍 Why You Should Listen to the Ash Said It Interview Get insider insights from a top beverage industry veteran Learn how Mocean is tapping into the functional beverage trend Discover the science behind Mocean’s botanical blend Hear the story of how White Claw’s success inspired a new kind of energy drink 📅 Mocean launches October 2025 📲 Follow @MoceanEnergy for updates 🎙️ More Mocean https://drinkmocean.energy/ Ash Brown: Your Ultimate Guide to Inspiration, Empowerment, and Action Are you searching for a dynamic motivational speaker, an authentic podcaster, or an influential media personality who can ignite your passion for personal growth?
