What if your next retreat venue was a walkable, luxury beach community on the Texas Coast — fully furnished, photographer-ready, and designed to make your attendees feel like they're living in a neighborhood instead of checking into a hotel? In this episode, Shannon sits down with Lee Ann Peters, the powerhouse behind Cinnamon Shore — a New Urbanist luxury beach community on the Texas Coast that has become one of Southern Living's Top 10 Beach Towns in the United States. Lee Ann left a successful Atlanta real estate career in the middle of the Great Recession to build something most people said couldn't be done. 700+ residences later, she's still building — and retreat leaders are starting to take notice. Shannon shares her own experience hosting a sold-out (and oversold!) retreat at Cinnamon Shore — and breaks down exactly why this community works so well for retreat business planning. From scalable home rentals and built-in community amenities to a luxury aesthetic that elevates your retreat brand without the resort price tag, this episode is packed with practical inspiration for retreat leaders ready to think differently about venue selection. In this episode: Why Cinnamon Shore is an underrated goldmine for retreat leaders How to scale your retreat from intimate to large by renting multiple adjacent homes The New Urbanist design philosophy that creates a built-in retreat environment Why a Texas beach retreat is a surprisingly powerful niche with massive market reach How the right venue elevates your retreat brand and drives word-of-mouth The support system at Cinnamon Shore that makes hosting effortless for retreat leaders Lee Ann's story of building a legacy community from the ground up — and what retreat leaders can learn from her vision If you've been searching for a venue that does the heavy lifting for your retreat experience, this episode is your sign.

Online #poker is a very different beast to twenty years ago. Essentially all poker sites have taken the decision to clip the wings of the professional grinder, ostensibly to encourage the survival of recreational players. Table caps, minimal rake back, and HUD restrictions require the pros to make concessions.   In this episode of the podcast, coach w34z3l discusses how the online grinder can navigate this hostile environment. There are no ideal poker sites anymore, but you can still develop a strategy to play professionally or to generate a significant side income.   TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Introduction: The Golden Age of Online Poker 1:04 PokerStars Today: Table Caps & Restrictions 2:18 Multi-Site Grinding: The New Reality 4:42 HUD Restrictions Across Major Networks 7:24 Room-by-Room Breakdown: Finding the Best Option 9:38 888 Poker: Traffic Issues & High Rake 10:14 iPoker Network: Bot Activity Concerns 11:58 Americas Cardroom: Closest to Old Stars? 12:57 Unibet: No Tracking, No HUD 13:37 Asian Apps: Security Risks & Agent Issues 15:04 PokerStars Security vs Accessibility 16:09 Winamax Withdrawal Issues: My Experience 21:01 GG Poker Lifetime Ban: What Happened? 24:39 The Decline of Online Poker & Final Thoughts   **LINKS** The Low-Stakes Poker Playbook: https://redchippoker.com/low-stakes-poker-playbook/ Setting Up Your Poker HUD Stats: https://www.splitsuit.com/setting-up-poker-hud-stats Maximize Your Online Poker Edge: https://youtu.be/IFLeNVINYDQ?si=t9oqSddVCfoWwZ5b Top 15 Key Poker Skills: https://redchippoker.com/top-15-poker-skills/   **JOIN US ON DISCORD** Join our free poker Discord today: https://redchippoker.com/discord  

Money conversations in the therapy world often focus on getting out of scarcity — leaving agency work, raising fees, or building a sustainable private practice. But what happens after that? What happens when your financial circumstances change, but your money beliefs haven't caught up yet?In this episode, I'm joined by Allison Puryear, founder of Abundance Practice Building, who has supported more than 10,000 therapists in creating practices that work for their lives. Together, we talk about money not as a measure of worth, but as a tool for creating a life that reflects your values. We explore how our relationships with money evolve over time — from the early days of practice building to navigating financial security, lifestyle creep, sliding scale therapy, and retirement savings.Ready to feel more calm and confident about your money? Do you feel confused, ashamed, or uncertain about your finances?Are you craving support to help shift your money mindset and transform your relationship with money?Are you ready to develop the skills and confidence you need to finally take control of your business finances and build a practice that actually takes care of you?If so, I'd love for you to join me for one of my free online workshops, designed specifically for private practice owners who feel stuck—whether it's mindset blocks, avoidance, or the technical side of managing money.In just one hour together, you'll learn practical tools, strategies, and next steps to move forward in your business (and your life) with clarity, intention, and ease.Click here to explore upcoming workshops and save your spot or register to get the replay.You can also join our new private WhatsApp community to connect with other therapists, health practitioners and listeners of Money Skills for Therapists: The Podcast — to chat about episodes, ask questions, share insights, and get support.Just reach out to us at hello@moneynutsandbolts.com, and we'll send you an invite!Financial Questions Don't End When You Earn MoreMany therapists enter private practice with money beliefs shaped by agency work, graduate school, family stories, or cultural messages about helping professions. Those beliefs don't automatically disappear as income grows — earning more often brings new questions about boundaries, fee setting, accessibility, and what “enough” actually means.As therapists, we can sometimes over-function around money, especially when it comes to sliding scale therapy or assumptions about what clients can afford. Accessibility matters, and so does building a practice that can sustainably support you, your clients, and your future.That same mindset can show up in how we think about our own financial needs and long-term planning. Retirement savings are another area where many therapists have been underserved. Whether you're self-employed, running a group practice, or just getting started, beginning small and automating savings can create meaningful financial security over time.Every Stage of Practice Brings New Money QuestionsOur relationship with money continues to evolve through every stage of practice and life.(00:03:31) Discussing longevity in therapist education(00:06:50) Feeling stuck in maximum capacity(00:12:28) Changing perspectives in education(00:15:42) Recognizing economic class differences(00:18:13) Managing lifestyle inflation(00:20:26) Offering sliding scale therapy(00:24:02) Retirement savings for practitioners(00:26:26) Talking retirement and self-care(00:30:42) Reflecting on past Thanksgivings(00:35:54) Discussing money challenges and values(00:36:41) Moving from survival to thrivingBuilding Wealth Without Losing Sight of What MattersMany of us were never taught financial literacy, retirement planning, or how to think about money in ways that align with our values. That gap can create financial anxiety, money shame, and uncertainty at every stage of a therapist's career.The goal is to build financial confidence over time — through intentional choices, stronger financial boundaries, and values-based spending that supports the life you want to create. Money can create options, security, and freedom. When we approach it as a tool instead of a reflection of our worth, we make more space for both thriving and meaningful work.About Linzy Bonham: Linzy Bonham is a therapist turned money coach who helps private practice owners and health professionals feel calm, confident, and in control of their finances through her podcast, free workshops and comprehensive programs: Money Skills for Therapists and Money Skills for Group Practice Owners.It all started when she saw her extremely skilled colleagues struggle with the money side of business. Some had even left private practice, or were avoiding starting one, because managing finances was just too stressful.So Linzy set out to support helpers and healers with developing peace of mind about their money. Since so many were never taught money skills, she focuses on the “how” of making the business side of private practice doable — and even super satisfying.Follow Linzy Bonham: About Page: https://moneyskillsfortherapists.com/aboutLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/linzybonham/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneyskillsfortherapists/About Allison Puryear:Allison Puryear is a therapist who burned out on agency work & then built successful private practices in 3 wildly different markets. After her caseloads grew faster in each “saturated” market, Allison realized that practice building is not rocket science when you have clarity, confidence, & a figured-out formula. So, Allison started Abundance Practice Building to help other therapists build their own full & happy private practices - because a happy therapist is a better therapist, y'all!Whether you need to get more clients in the door or need to make changes to an already full practice so you can work less & make more, Abundance Practice Building has support for all levels & at all financial abilities.

Selena Freisens, Head of Global Medical Affairs at Merz Therapeutics, is focused on increasing access to tools to support neurological health. They have developed a digital app iFlexo, which is designed to provide at-home physiotherapy for stroke survivors.  The app has been tested in Nigeria and Sierra Leone in partnership with the World Stroke Organization and is designed to operate offline as well, to serve users in rural areas with limited internet connectivity. Selena explains, "Our company is family-owned and in its fifth generation, so we have a rather long-term legacy, and the newer part is Merz Therapeutics, and our focus in Merz Therapeutics is on neuroscience. So we practically cover the number of movement disorders such as Spasms, Dystonias. We also have a focus on Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis."   "We continuously work on building this awareness and knowledge. One example is Parkinson's disease. And when I started working with Parkinson's disease, most of the patients would have off episodes, which are exacerbations of their symptoms, but many of these off episodes are underdiagnosed, and they're not really treated optimally. So it's really a lot of attention is needed to educate not only HCPs and, of course, some other stakeholders, but particularly patients."   "So the time also matters for stroke survivors. So it's very important that they start as soon as possible all the therapies, but also the physiotherapy at the same time. What this digital tool does is give two options. One is education on the one side, and on the other hand, a guided exercise that will enable people and stroke survivors to exercise at home. And with that, obviously, the personalized goals have been worked out together with the experts and HCPs so that they can achieve those goals faster, while working from home." #MerzTherapeutics #StrokeRehab #DigitalHealth #NeuroRehab #AccessToHealth #WorldStrokeOrganization #Physiotherapy #HealthEquity #TeleRehab #HCPs #Africafirst #AccesstoHealth #EquitableAccess #PostStrokeRehabilitation #PatientDrivenInnovation Merztherapeutics.com Download the transcript here

Host Anca Platon Trifan opens the CEO edition of the Events Demystified Podcast with a conversation about leadership discernment and reinvention, then interviews Julia Danmeri, founder and CEO of TranslateAble. Julia reflects on how event operations shaped her leadership through organization and valuing people, and describes moving from a traditional “one path” career mindset to questioning her direction during COVID when work paused and she realized she'd stopped learning.

They discuss AI as an ongoing industry pressure, staying relevant without rabbit holes by using clear plans, productivity habits, and prioritizing key tasks, plus improving accessibility by promoting services like sign language interpretation to the communities who need them.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Anca to Speak at Your Event⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-------------------------------------------------------------Original Podcast Music written by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fable Score Music. ⁠⁠⁠⁠“Events: demystified” Podcast ⁠⁠is brought to you by ⁠⁠Tree-Fan Events⁠⁠, a leading woman-owned boutique event planning and production agency offering a comprehensive approach to event management and production, with a focus on enhancing the attendee experience with the #FIT4EVENTS™ framework for a holistic event cycle in order to create memorable events.

Conversations about accessibility are often framed around legislation and accommodations, but the stories we tell about disability can be equally powerful in shaping how accessibility is perceived and lived.Human rights lawyer and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Belonging (DEIAB) consultant Prasanna Ranganathan argues that accessibility requires more than policy change—it demands new narratives that allow us to imagine the inclusive world we seek to build.Ranganathan spoke at The Walrus Talks AccessAbility in Toronto on May 26, 2026.To register for upcoming events happening online or in a city near you, and to catch up on our archive of The Walrus Talks, visit thewalrus.ca/events.And subscribe to The Walrus Events newsletter for updates and announcements, at thewalrus.ca/newsletters.

Quick question. What's the voice you hear describing what's happening on screen during a movie or a TV show for blind and low vision viewers? That's audio description. And somebody has to record it for every show, every movie, every piece of streaming content, every educational video on every major platform. Every single one. That is an enormous amount of work. And most voice actors have no idea how to get it. What Audio Description Actually Is AD is narration inserted into the natural pauses in a piece of video content, like dialogue, music, and sound effects, that describes what's happening visually. Character movements, facial expressions, scene changes, text on screen, important visual information that a viewer would otherwise miss if they can't see the picture. The narration is written in the present tense. It's delivered neutrally. The AD narrator describes. They don't editorialize. They are giving information logically but not characterizing it. And it has to fit precisely within the gaps in the existing audio, which means pacing is really important. The scripts are timed to the millisecond. The narrator has to hit very specific durations, sometimes very short ones, while still conveying the information clearly and in a warm, accessible way. It's a skill. It is a very highly sought after skill. It's in demand across every streaming platform. Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Disney, Amazon, Apple, HBO. As well as broadcast, educational content, corporate video, and more. Accessibility compliance requirements mean this market is not shrinking. It is growing. Why Aren't More Voice Actors Pursuing It Part of it is visibility. AD narration doesn't usually get a credit in the traditional sense. It's not the kind of booking you post about on social media. The narrator is heard, not seen, and the whole point is that the narration blends seamlessly into the viewing experience. Part of it is that the scripts look really intimidating the first time you see them. They're formatted differently from any standard voiceover script. There are time codes and pacing notes and flagged lines with very tight windows to hit. It feels very technical in a way that commercial or corporate work doesn't. And part of it is there isn't a clear how do I get in path that gets talked about the way commercial or gaming or e-learning does. But here's the thing. The opacity is an opportunity. The barrier isn't talent. It's knowledge. Voice actors who understand how AD works, who have trained for the specific demands of the format, and who have appropriate samples in their portfolio are rare. And the buyers in this space know that. The Actual Craft Audio description narration isn't just a neutral read. It has a specific warmth and accessibility to it. You're a guide. You're not a reporter. You're helping someone experience a piece of content, and that requires a quality of presence and care that is specific but also learnable. The pacing demands are unique. AD scripts use notations like brisk or very brisk. The gap between two lines of dialogue might be four seconds and you have to convey meaningful visual information in that space clearly without rushing in a way that loses the listener. You need to deliver every line as if it counts while also being flexible about what gets used. It's a different muscle than commercial or video game or narration work. But it's absolutely buildable. And the voice actors who invest in training for it are walking into a niche with very little competition and pretty steady work. How to Position Yourself for AD Work First, get familiar with the format. Watch content with audio description turned on. Netflix, Amazon, YouTube all have accessibility settings. Turn it on for a show you're already watching and listen to the pacing, listen to the tone, notice how the narration sits in the audio environment. This is your market research and it costs you nothing. Second, build a sample. You cannot pitch AD work with a standard narration demo. You need a sample that demonstrates you understand the format, ideally built from fictional content. The sample should show tight pacing, appropriate tone, and ideally a mix of slower and brisk paced lines. Third, identify the buyers. AD is produced by post-production companies and accessibility service providers, not usually directly by studios or streaming platforms. Researching and building a contact list, just like you would for any other vertical, is important to do. And then frame it in your marketing. If you have an AD sample, say it. Put it on your website. Mention it in outreach. Most voice actor websites don't have AD sections. Having one immediately signals that you're someone who has done the work to understand the work. Why This Niche Matters Beyond the Bookings It's not a glamorous vertical. But it is so meaningful. Audio description exists because people deserve to experience art and storytelling and information fully, just as anyone else. The voice actor doing AD work is genuinely contributing to accessibility, to children and adults alike, and that work has human stakes to it. The commercial reality is strong, consistent, and growing. There aren't enough trained narrators to fill the demand. And the personal reality is strong because it's interesting work that requires real craft and you get paid for that craft. The door is open. Most people just haven't knocked on it yet.

In this episode of NASCIO Voices, hosts Amy Glasscock and Alex Whitaker sit down with NASCIO policy analyst Kalea Young-Gibson to discuss her article Digital Accessibility Compliance Thoughts From a Public Sector Attorney, which is based on a conversation with Max Heinz, supervising attorney with New York State Information Technology Services. The conversation covers the recently extended DOJ Title II final rule compliance deadline, explaining that while states now have more time, the urgency has not diminished — digital accessibility lawsuits have surpassed 5,000 per year and are now considered mainstream civil rights enforcement. Kalea breaks down what "reasonable effort" really means for state agencies (hint: it's context-driven, not a checklist), how states should structure vendor contracts using WCAG-tied language as a model, and why documentation is the single hardest — and most critical — thing states must get right to defend themselves in litigation. The episode closes with a lightning round featuring emoji habits, lessons from new cat ownership, and a passionate endorsement of Cook Out, North Carolina's beloved fast food chain.

The latest episode of the “Stream by AASHTO” podcast features an interview with Alan Hejl, founder and lead consultant of Spark Access; a company that helps people with disabilities gain more mobility options to help foster a greater sense of belonging and inclusion for them more broadly in society. This podcast series is part of the AASHTO Environmental Management technical service program operated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. It explores a wide array of environmental topics that affect state departments of transportation and the infrastructure programs they oversee. The mission of Spark Access is foster more awareness, accessibility, and inclusion for the disabled within the mobility industry. The firm's advocacy efforts focus on helping people with both visible and hidden disabilities gain more transportation options to fit their travel needs. In this episode, Hejl talks about how his work at General Motors helped open his eyes to the wide array of mobility issues people with disabilities face – a passion that deepened and became more personal in light of the mobility struggles faced by his wheelchair-bound wife. Hejl discusses how different kinds of disabilities – both visible and hidden – can impact transportation options; how transportation systems are often built with the needs of the disabled as an afterthought; and how autonomous vehicles can offer the disabled greater travel opportunities if they meet their accessibility needs.

In this episode of the AppleVis Extra podcast, Dave Nason is joined by Thomas Domville and Tyler Stephen for an in-depth discussion of Apple's WWDC 2026 keynote. The team examines Apple's new presentation format, the company's focus on refinement, trust and safety, and artificial intelligence, and what these changes mean for blind and low-vision users.The conversation begins with overall impressions of the keynote, which the hosts describe as a departure from previous WWDC events. Rather than organizing announcements by operating system, Apple focused on three major themes: refinement, trust and safety, and AI. The hosts discuss why this approach reflects Apple's increasing platform convergence and why this year's event felt more like a “Snow Leopard” release focused on improvements and stability rather than a long list of new features.A significant portion of the discussion centers on Apple's expanded family safety and parental control features. The hosts explore improvements to Screen Time, website access controls, contact approval requests, and age-verification technologies. They also discuss how Apple's new Declarative Age Range API could potentially reduce accessibility barriers while helping companies comply with growing age-restriction requirements worldwide.The podcast then shifts to Apple Intelligence and the newly announced Siri AI experience. Thomas, Tyler, and Dave discuss Apple's renewed effort to deliver the AI-powered Siri capabilities first previewed several years ago. Topics include contextual awareness, world knowledge, app actions, improved dictation, more expressive voices, and Apple's continued rollout strategy. The hosts also discuss concerns about device compatibility, regional availability, and the growing fragmentation between supported and unsupported devices.A major accessibility highlight is Apple Intelligence image description. The hosts explain how blind users can now quickly describe images anywhere in the operating system without relying on third-party services such as Be My AI or PiccyBot. They discuss the new image description rotor actions, follow-up questioning, screen-level descriptions through the Dynamic Island, and the potential future benefits of AI-powered contextual understanding for unlabeled interface elements.Other Apple Intelligence features covered include Visual Intelligence, AI-powered web monitoring, custom Safari extension generation, natural language Shortcut creation, password management automation, and AI-assisted productivity improvements.The discussion also covers operating system compatibility changes across Apple's platforms. The hosts review iOS 27 device support, the end of Intel Mac support in macOS 27 Golden Gate, Rosetta's remaining lifespan, Apple Silicon requirements, and changes to Apple Watch compatibility.Additional accessibility-related improvements discussed include pronunciation dictionary import and export, enhanced VoiceOver verbosity controls, Braille Screen Input improvements, predictive text support for Braille users, and settings related to VoiceOver cursor visibility during screen recordings.The team also reviews Apple's claims regarding system performance improvements, including faster app launches, improved AirDrop transfers, better networking transitions, Spotlight indexing enhancements, CPU scheduling improvements, and the overall goal of making Apple devices feel more responsive…

Accessibility in herbalism is not something extra or something nice-if-possible, it's a critical part of our work. The prices of the remedies we recommend can sometimes be a determining factor in whether our clients take them, or take them long enough to get results. In many cases we can identify less expensive herbs, or formulae of herbs, which can do the job of more costly ones. In order to make an effective substitution, we first need to clarify the qualities, actions, affinities, and other aspects of the herb for which we seek alternatives. Only then can we identify a good substitute.This episode includes thoughts and examples of potential substitutes for solomon's seal (Polygonatum biflorum), kava (Piper methysticum), Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), dong quai (Angelica sinensis), teasel (Dipsacus fullonum), arnica (Arnica montana), chaga (Inonotus obliquus), goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), and schisandra (Schisandra chinensis).This is material we dig into deeply in our Accessible Herbalism course. That course is full of strategies and skills which enable herbalists to offer top-quality care to people who have constraints on their finances, time, energy, or community of support. It helps you understand the truth behind some of hte most common money-saving suggestions about herbalism and nutrition, so you can offer realistic suggestions which actually help people who need it most.Like everything we offer, it's a self-paced online video course. It comes with lifetime access to current & future course material, the twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you enjoyed the episode, it helps us a lot if you subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

How do you double the size of a major sporting venue, rebuild its technology foundation, and still deliver a seamless experience for hundreds of thousands of fans? Recording from Cisco Live, I spoke with Robert Nichols, Principal Technical Architect for the Cincinnati Open, about the enormous undertaking behind one of the most respected tournaments in professional tennis. As an ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 event, the Cincinnati Open recently completed a $260 million expansion that increased the campus from 20 to 40 acres, all while working against a deadline that could not be moved. Our conversation explores what happens behind the scenes when nearly 300,000 visitors arrive expecting every aspect of the event to work flawlessly. From ticket scanning and connectivity to food service, hospitality, broadcasting, security, and crowd management, every part of the operation depends on infrastructure that most fans never think about. Robert explains how the team approached modernization without losing the qualities that have made the tournament special for generations. Accessibility, proximity to the players, and a welcoming atmosphere remain central to the Cincinnati Open experience, even as the venue continues to grow. We also discuss occupancy analytics, connected cameras, wireless networking across 40 acres, and how data helps organizers make better operational decisions throughout the tournament. Along the way, Robert shares insights into the scale of planning required to support one of the largest events in professional tennis. Looking ahead, we examine how AI and automation could influence the future of live events, helping organizers improve operations while keeping the focus firmly on the fan experience. Whether you're interested in sports, technology, operations, or large-scale event management, this episode offers a rare look at what it takes to deliver an event watched by millions worldwide. What part of a live sporting event do you think requires the most coordination behind the scenes?

Hello! This is Episode 408. This is Way #8 of the 44 Ways to Create Your Sustainable Home series. We are in Section Two: Sustainable Design Strategies. The ways I include in this section are about the strategic design decisions that have consequences well beyond the immediate project, and Way #8 is a strong example of that. Way #8 is Future Proofing Your Design with Accessibility. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/408] I want to start by saying that the word ‘accessibility’ comes with a lot of connotations for some people, and it can immediately bring to mind images of hospital-grade handrails, institutional flooring, and design that feels clinical rather than inclusions you’ll happily consider for your future home. However, that is not what accessible design means, and it is not what this episode is about. What it is about is designing a home that works well for people, at every age and stage of life, without requiring expensive modification when circumstances change. And the design features that achieve that are, in most cases, simply good design that support the longevity, durability and ease of use of your home, whether you’re building new or renovating. In this episode, I take you through what accessible design actually means in a residential context, the case for including it from the brief stage, the specific features worth considering in your project, and how to approach it with your design team. As always, if you'd like to access a full transcript of this episode and links to any resources I mention, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/408. Now, let's dive in!
