School of Hard Knocks was in session as IAR covered youth sports, coaches, parents, winning & losing and the sensitive subject of "participation trophies" I was joined by New Paltz New York's assistant modified middle school baseball coach, Bobby Simmons & an Alum of NASKA (North American Sport Karate Association), Satiro Kazolias. They each spoke about how competitive sports has played a huge role in their personal lives and how youth sports and competition has changed over the years. We also had to discuss the purpose of Participation Trophies and whether or not they are helping or hindering competitive sports in todays youth.

Our artistic juices were flowing and spinning as we were joined by Creator of SWFX Creations and brother of an IAR member, Liquid Artist: Jonathan Galente. He shares with us what Liquid or Fluid Art is and the spinning or shifting technique that is used to create each of these unique and one of kind pieces. We hear about how he got into this style of art by attending different music festivals and how he became the center of the show during one particular music festival weekend. So many different art ventures such as wood art, jewelry, clothes and so much more! IAR also introduces a new Game that includes bragging rights & a belt and what better way to start it off officially by having sibling vs sibling.
