On this bonus episode of Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Wil Slickers sits down with Dan Gaertner, CEO of VayKLife, to break the news that VayKLife has acquired Xplorie, bringing gear and amenities together with local activities and experiences under one platform for vacation rental managers. Dan walks through why the deal happened now, what the combined platform means for VRMs on day one, and why he believes pairing physical gear with curated experiences is one of the most powerful ways for property managers to differentiate in a market where AI is making every listing look the same. Backed by Fort Point Capital, VayKLife is betting that the guest experience layer, the bikes staged at the door, the $250 spending spree on local attractions, the dinner shows and golf tees, is where the next generation of five-star reviews and repeat guests actually comes from.

What does it tell you about a company when every single person it hires, in every function, has to pass the same interview about culture?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez set the guest format aside for a conversation Marc started because he noticed something new. After two years of coaching people through interview loops, this was the first time he'd seen Ben genuinely fascinated by one specific interview at one specific company. Ben walks through what he's pieced together about Anthropic's culture interview: the no-exceptions policy, the rapid-fire format of ten or more questions in a single 45-minute slot, and the fact that anyone at the company, from marketing to IT, can be trained to run it.They explore the questions that actually get asked, what Ben believes is being evaluated underneath them, why “why Anthropic” demands more depth than the same question anywhere else, and whether the filter holds as the company gets hotter and more candidates learn to say the right things. Then they turn to the question Ben finds most interesting: why almost no other company does this, and what happens inside a company when employees are calibrated to evaluate culture.If you're preparing for an interview at a frontier lab, thinking about how your own company screens for values, or just curious what a well-designed culture filter looks like from the outside, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

In Episode 680 of the New Media Show, host Rob Greenlee welcomes Steven Goldstein, founder and CEO of Amplifi Media, for a timely, future-leaning discussion. We have entered the Liquid Content Era. A podcast conversation can now become an audio episode, full-length YouTube video, Spotify video, Apple Podcasts video, vertical clips, social posts, articles, newsletters, searchable transcripts, and potentially AI-discovered answers. The underlying content may be the same, but the way people encounter and consume it varies by platform. That creates an enormous opportunity for creators. It also creates a measurement problem. Podcasting built much of its advertising business around the download. That metric helped turn an emerging medium into a legitimate advertising marketplace, but Steven argues that it no longer adequately represents how audiences consume modern shows. Downloads were created in an era when bandwidth was limited and podcast applications often downloaded episodes to devices before the listener played them. Today, streaming is increasingly immediate, video consumption is growing, audiences move between devices, and clips can sometimes reach more people than the original episode. The question is no longer simply: How many times was the podcast downloaded? The better question may be: How many people actually listened to, watched, encountered the advertising, and engaged with the creator's content across the entire media ecosystem? Why advertisers need this change. Large brands already buy television, web, streaming video, social, and other digital media through dashboards that provide comparable impression-based reporting. Podcasting remains fragmented across RSS analytics, platform dashboards, YouTube views, Spotify data, and different definitions of what constitutes meaningful exposure. That fragmentation makes podcast media harder to buy at scale. Steven explains that advertisers do not want separate teams manually reconciling podcast audio, video, clips, and platform metrics. If podcasting wants to attract substantially more advertising investment, it needs to fit more easily into the systems marketers already use. That leads into one of the episode’s central topics: the AMP Accords. The Alliance for Measurement in Podcasting was formed to address three persistent problems: Defining a podcast Standardizing exposure metrics across platforms Creating a more consistent way to evaluate advertising effectiveness. The AMP Accords describe their goal as establishing cross-platform measurement standards spanning open RSS and closed platforms. One of the biggest proposed shifts is moving toward a 30-second play as a standardized exposure metric across audio and video. Steven is less concerned about whether 30 seconds ultimately proves to be the perfect number than he is about establishing a common starting point. Media measurement has always evolved. Steven draws on his experience in radio, where audience measurement moved from handwritten listening diaries to electronic Portable People Meters. The change was disruptive. Some formats gained audience under the new methodology, and others lost it. But advertisers demanded better information, and the industry eventually adapted. Podcasting is facing a similar moment. The industry should not allow the pursuit of a perfect measurement system to delay the adoption of a more useful one. The AMP framework also addresses advertising impressions and audience measurement. That matters because an advertiser ultimately wants to know whether someone actually received an advertising message, not simply whether a media file was automatically delivered to a device. Rob and Steven discuss the tension this creates for established podcast measurement. Some publishers remain strongly committed to the download because it has provided consistency and an open measurement methodology for many years. Steven gives the download credit for helping build the podcast advertising business but believes the medium now needs to move forward. The shift becomes even more important when video enters the equation. YouTube has become a major podcast-consumption platform with sophisticated analytics on views, watch time, audience behavior, retention, and discovery. Spotify has added video. Apple is expanding its video capabilities through HLS. Meanwhile, audiences increasingly move fluidly between audio and video rather than seeing them as completely separate media products. This raises another difficult question: What exactly is a podcast now? The AMP Accords propose a broad podcast definition that encompasses audio or video and open or closed distribution, provided the program remains meaningful without requiring constant visual attention. Steven likes the basic framework but emphasizes that audiences will ultimately shape the word's meaning. People already call shows “podcasts” based on format and experience rather than on technical infrastructure. Most listeners do not know whether a show uses RSS feeds, direct platform uploads, streaming video, or another delivery method. Rob raises a concern about defining podcasting too strongly through an audio lens. If a video must always function perfectly with the viewer's eyes closed, does that discourage creators from investing in richer visual storytelling? That question becomes increasingly important as video production matures. A modern video podcast can include visual demonstrations, graphics, archival material, set design, screen sharing, camera movement, and other elements that provide additional value to the viewer. Rob argues that creators should retain the freedom to build excellent audio and excellent video experiences, even when the two versions are not identical. The discussion then moves to another major part of liquid content: short-form video. Shorts or Clips were initially treated primarily as promotional tools designed to push people toward the full episode. That assumption is changing. Some audience members may never consume the full show. They may know a creator entirely through Shorts, Reels, TikTok, or other excerpts. Steven describes this as both an opportunity and a potential problem. If a creator publishes the four best moments from an hour-long conversation, some viewers may decide those clips provide everything they wanted from the episode. That means short-form may represent a separate audience, not simply a funnel into long-form media. At the same time, social clips have become an increasingly important discovery mechanism. Creators cannot simply ignore the places where audiences spend their time. That is the essence of liquid content: the audience determines where and how the media gets consumed. Artificial intelligence adds another layer. Steven believes creators should increasingly think beyond traditional SEO, Search Engine Optimization, toward AEO, Answer Engine Optimization. AI systems are increasingly becoming discovery engines themselves. Instead of searching through a list of websites or podcast episodes, a user may ask an AI system a specific question and receive a direct answer assembled from available sources. That shift could be especially valuable for niche creators. A podcast with deep authority in a narrow subject may become an important source of AI-generated answers if its content is well-structured, transcribed, accessible, and clearly associated with expertise in that category. Rob expands the discussion into recommendation systems. YouTube already uses AI extensively to determine which content should be presented to which audience. Similar systems will increasingly influence discovery throughout digital media. That creates a harder competitive environment. Steven argues that mediocre content will be crushed. As audiences face effectively unlimited choices and algorithms become better at filtering those choices, simply producing acceptable content may no longer be enough. Shows need differentiation, relevance, expertise, strong personalities, or storytelling that holds attention. That does not mean every successful podcast needs millions of listeners. Steven points to niche podcasts serving highly specific professional communities. A show about HVAC systems may never become a mainstream entertainment hit, but it can still become an extremely valuable business if it reaches the right technicians, manufacturers, buyers, and industry decision-makers. Influence within a valuable niche can matter more than raw audience scale. The conversation closes by examining the tension between short-form and long-form media. Consumers are time-starved. Summaries, clips, AI-generated takeaways, and compressed content are becoming increasingly useful. Yet long-form is not disappearing. Joe Rogan, Acquired, Dan Carlin, and other successful long-form creators demonstrate that audiences will still spend hours with content when the storytelling, expertise, personality, or subject deserves the investment. The real challenge is earning the audience's time. In the Liquid Content Era, creators are no longer simply publishing episodes. They are building adaptable media assets that can move across platforms, formats, screens, algorithms, and audiences. The measurement systems now need to catch up.

In 1984, the Walt Disney Company was worth more dead than alive. Disney Animation — the heart of Walt's famous flywheel — had stagnated for years, bleeding away talent while corporate raiders circled, salivating over offers to sell off the film library to MGM and offload the parks to hotel operators. But what followed instead was the greatest turnaround in media history under Michael Eisner and Frank Wells. Beauty and the Beast. The Lion King. Broadway. Bringing the Disney Vault home on VHS and DVD. And the greatest media acquisition of all time — ESPN.And then... it all almost fell apart. Again. Euro Disney turned into a money pit. Boardroom and executive infighting ran rampant. Animation descended into a dumpster fire. (Remember Chicken Little? Us neither.) Comcast — Comcast!! — tried to steal the company via a hostile takeover. Out of the chaos, a new generation of Disney management emerged under Bob Iger to stage yet another epic comeback with Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm, creating the defining media empire of the 21st century…until the tech companies came along.

Procter & Gamble just dropped a staggering $3.8 billion to acquire Thorne, leaving mainstream financial commentators and health enthusiasts completely shocked. Why would a consumer packaged goods (CPG) titan known for Pampers, Tide, and Crest buy a premium dietary supplement brand? In this video, I'll pull back the curtain on the financial architecture and the radical corporate strategy driving this massive M&A transaction. This is far from just selling vitamins...creating a massive strategic paradigm shift into AI-powered predictive health, longevity, and data-rich consumer ecosystems. I'm breaking down the private equity wins for L Catterton, Thorne's massive manufacturing and testing moats, and how P&G completely outmaneuvered rivals like Unilever and Haleon to dominate the healthcare practitioner market. Plus, we address the biggest question on every consumer's mind: Will P&G dilute Thorne's ingredients and destroy its scientific integrity? If you want to understand the future of proactive, personalized, and integrative consumer healthcare, this deep dive is for you.
Full Text of Readings Memorial of Saint Dominic, Priest Lectionary: 412 The Saint of the day is Saint Dominic Saint Dominic's Story If he hadn't taken a trip with his bishop, Saint Dominic would probably have remained within the structure of contemplative life; after the trip, he spent the rest of his life being a contemplative in active apostolic work. Born in old Castile, Spain, Saint Dominic was trained for the priesthood by a priest-uncle, studied the arts and theology, and became a canon of the cathedral at Osma, where there was an attempt to revive the apostolic common life described in Acts of the Apostles. On a journey through France with his bishop, Dominic came face to face with the then virulent Albigensian heresy at Languedoc. The Albigensians–or Cathari, “the pure ones”–held to two principles—one good, one evil—in the world. All matter is evil—hence they denied the Incarnation and the sacraments. On the same principle, they abstained from procreation and took a minimum of food and drink. The inner circle led what some people regarded as a heroic life of purity and asceticism not shared by ordinary followers. Saint Dominic sensed the need for the Church to combat this heresy, and was commissioned to be part of the preaching crusade against it. He saw immediately why the preaching crusade was not succeeding: the ordinary people admired and followed the ascetical heroes of the Albigenses. Understandably, they were not impressed by the Catholic preachers who traveled with horse and retinues, stayed at the best inns and had servants. Saint Dominic therefore, with three Cistercians, began itinerant preaching according to the gospel ideal. He continued this work for 10 years, being successful with the ordinary people but not with the leaders. His fellow preachers gradually became a community, and in 1215 Dominic founded a religious house at Toulouse, the beginning of the Order of Preachers or Dominicans. Dominic's ideal, and that of his Order, was to organically link a life with God, study, and prayer in all forms, with a ministry of salvation to people by the word of God. His ideal: contemplata tradere: “to pass on the fruits of contemplation” or “to speak only of God or with God.” Reflection The Dominican ideal, like that of all religious communities, is for the imitation, not merely the admiration, of the rest of the Church. The effective combining of contemplation and activity is the vocation of truck driver Smith as well as theologian Aquinas. Acquired contemplation is the tranquil abiding in the presence of God, and is an integral part of any full human life. It must be the wellspring of all Christian activity.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
What if your brain suddenly decided that words had colors? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro dive into one of neuroscience's strangest documented phenomena: a woman who suffered a traumatic brain injury and awoke seeing vivid colors every time someone spoke. Her condition—known as acquired speech-to-color synesthesia—raises an unsettling question: if the brain can rewrite reality after an injury, how much of the world we experience is actually being created inside our own minds? From disappearing colors and tetrachromats who may perceive millions of shades the rest of us never will, to the mystery of whether your experience of "red" is anything like anyone else's, this episode explores the fragile line between perception and reality. Then, the conversation shifts to one of South Korea's most haunting unsolved mysteries: the 1991 disappearance of the Frog Boys. Five young friends set out to collect salamander eggs on a day off from school and never returned. After one of the largest searches in the nation's history, their remains were discovered eleven years later in an area investigators had searched repeatedly. Was it a tragic accident, a calculated murder, or something else entirely? Decades later, the case remains unsolved—but it forever changed how South Korea responds to missing children. Along the way, expect the usual detours into bizarre headlines, questionable road-trip food decisions, and the wonderfully weird conversations that only happen inside The Box of Oddities. In this episode: Acquired speech-to-color synesthesia How the brain creates color and perception Tetrachromats and the mystery of subjective reality The neuroscience of consciousness and qualia The unsolved Frog Boys case How one tragedy transformed South Korea's missing-child investigations If you love strange science, unsolved mysteries, psychology, neuroscience, true crime, and the wonderfully inexplicable, welcome home.

Bad debt is the Macy’s card.” On collaboration:“Pooling resources shows how far we can go and how fast we can go—but together.” On planning:“If you don’t plan, you plan to fail.

Hosts Andy and Tom talk about plans for 3CDC to buy the historic St. Francis Seraph church in Over-the-Rhine, as well as the closure of legendary chef Jean-Robert de Cavel's last restaurant, Kroger axing plans to open more Harris Teeter stores and a Krazy new retailer. Interview starts at (18:42). Bourbon is a tricky business. It has to age for several years – New Riff's minimum is four – before it can be bottled and sold, so distilleries have to be very good at forecasting demand well in advance. With so many producers investing billions in ramping up production in recent years, that's led to a glut of product. New Riff CEO Hannah Lowen talks about how her distillery has navigated that, and what's new at the region's largest bourbon producer.

From a University Dorm Room to RSS.com: The Alberto Betella Story - Marv sits down with Alberto Betella, co-founder of RSS.com, following a chance meeting at the Podcast Show in London. Alberto traces an origin story that stretches back two decades — from building the open-source Podcast Generator as a university literature student in Italy in 2005, to a serendipitous 2017 email from RSS.com co-founder Ben that led to the launch of RSS.com's podcast hosting platform in 2018.The conversation ranges widely: the technical and philosophical roots of the RSS feed, why the podcasting industry is unusually collaborative rather than cutthroat, the psychology (and neuroscience) of why listeners trust podcast hosts, the promise and risk of AI in podcast production, why niche shows may outlast viral hits, the future of podcast discovery, and the thorny problem of music licensing in podcasts. The episode closes with a run of listener-submitted questions and Alberto's own podcast recommendations.Key Discussion Points:The origin story: Podcast Generator (2005–2018)How RSS.com came to beWhy podcasting's competitors collaborateThe psychology of the podcast listener relationshipAI in podcastingListener Q&A: Cam (Jacked Up Review Show): How does podcasting's technology compare to other engineering fields? → Discussion of Podcasting 2.0 tags, the location tag, and Alberto's own project, Atlas (atlas.rss.io), a visual network map of cross-podcast recommendations built on Podcast Index "PodRoll" data.Gill (The Mindbuzz Podcast): What separates shows that last 10 years from those that vanish? → Alberto's "niche over virality" thesis, and RSS.com's free-forever plan for local/niche shows.Phil Better (The Podcast Mogul's Playbook): How will podcast marketing change? → Preference for human-to-human cross-promotion and guesting over automated "feed drops," plus a nod to Apple Podcasts auto-linking recommended shows found in transcripts.Stephen Nicholson (Sheer Pod Attack): What's next in podcast discovery, especially for niche music podcasts? → Human recommendation networks (again, Atlas/PodRoll) and the unresolved global licensing problem for music-in-podcasts, including a tangent comparing it to how international postal services reconcile costs.Alberto's own listening habitsRegulars: Podnews Weekly Review, Podcasting 2.0, The New Media Show, Podbiz (by Norma Jean).Personal favorite outside the industry: Acquired, especially its long-form deep dives (F1, Hermès, etc.).

What separates investors who thrive through multiple market cycles from those who get left behind? In this episode, Maureen Miles shares the real-world lessons behind acquiring more than 3,500 multifamily units, raising over $75 million in private equity, and strategically exiting most of her portfolio near the height of the market. Drawing from decades of experience in construction, property management, syndication, and asset management, Maureen reveals how she transitioned from buying small multifamily properties to scaling a portfolio worth hundreds of millions of dollars. She discusses the importance of operational excellence, conservative underwriting, recognizing market signals, building the right partnerships, and why education and networking have been instrumental throughout her journey. Whether you're acquiring your first deal or preparing to scale your portfolio, this conversation delivers practical insights from someone who has successfully navigated multiple real estate cycles.1. Operational Excellence Creates Long-Term Success Acquiring a property is only the beginning. Maureen explains why construction knowledge, property management, asset management, and controlling operating expenses are what ultimately determine a deal's success. 2. Market Cycles Reward Disciplined InvestorsMaureen shares the warning signs that led her to exit much of her portfolio near the peak of the market, including compressed cap rates, aggressive bridge debt, and pricing that no longer made operational sense. 3. The Biggest Deals Require the Right TeamMoving from small multifamily properties to large apartment communities became possible by partnering with experienced operators, surrounding herself with strong teams, and leveraging complementary expertise. 4. Networking Can Open Life-Changing OpportunitiesHer first large multifamily acquisition came through relationships built at industry events. She emphasizes that conferences and networking often create opportunities that can't be found elsewhere. 5. Conservative Investing Protects WealthThroughout the conversation, Maureen stresses the importance of conservative underwriting, understanding construction costs, planning for downside scenarios, and never chasing deals simply to increase portfolio size.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

What if the most common point of failure in your digital customer experience: the 'no results found' page, could become your greatest opportunity for conversion and discovery?Agility requires not just adopting new technologies, but fundamentally rethinking core customer interactions, like search, that have remained static for far too long. It demands a shift from rigid rules to responsive, intelligent systems that learn from and adapt to customer intent in real time.Today, we're going to talk about the evolution of on-site search. For years, it's been a functional, yet often frustrating, utility for customers. But with advancements in AI, it's transforming from a simple keyword-matching tool into a conversational discovery engine that can anticipate intent and drive a more intelligent customer experience.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Nitin Mangtani, GM and EVP of Agentforce Commerce at Salesforce.About Nitin MangtaniAbout Nitin MangtaniI am EVP & GM at Salesforce leading the Commerce Cloud and Retail Cloud team.

Send us a message!Catherine Theys, Ph.D., Professor at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, joins host Sara MacIntyre, M.A., CCC-SLP, to discuss acquired stuttering, including both neurogenic stuttering and functional stuttering. Drawing on her clinical and research expertise, Dr. Theys provides an overview of acquired stuttering, different subtypes, and how it differs from developmental stuttering in terms of etiology, presentation, and experiences. The conversation explores assessment, differential diagnosis, and treatment considerations, including the unique challenges faced by individuals who develop stuttering later in life. Dr. Theys also shares insights from the research literature, highlighting the need for more systematic investigation in this area and discussing projects her lab is pursuing to advance our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying acquired stuttering and improve clinical assessment and intervention. Throughout the episode, listeners gain practical guidance for evaluating and supporting individuals with acquired stuttering while developing a deeper understanding of this less frequently discussed area of stuttering research and clinical practice.Resources for further learning:Theys & Fairbairn (in press).

Knowing what kind of seller you are turns out to be one of the most important things you can figure out before you ever take a meeting with a potential acquirer. There are three: the transactional seller who wants the money and the door, the transitional seller who wants to land the plane, and the transformational seller who sells to go bigger. Cameron Passmore built one of the largest independent wealth management firms in Canada, roughly 3,000 families and about $8 billion under management, and owned half of it. Most founders in that seat cash out and leave. Cameron sold to OneDigital at 60, and has no intention of going anywhere. He rolled 40% of the deal into equity, and now uses OneDigital's capital, deal expertise, and acquisition currency to buy other firms. He has acquired five and roughly doubled the business in under two years.

What does it really take to scale from flipping houses to acquiring more than $300 million in real estate? In this episode, Paul Williams shares the lessons he learned after starting as a college student investor, building a trucking company, exiting that business, and going all-in on real estate. Paul breaks down his journey from single-family investing and high-volume house flipping to owning and operating nearly 2,000 multifamily units, while discussing capital raising, credibility, investor relationships, market cycles, and the opportunities he sees in today's multifamily market. He also shares candid insights on mistakes, lessons from both successful and struggling investments, why consistency matters more than speed, and how aspiring investors can build the track record, relationships, and confidence needed to grow in commercial real estate. If you're looking to raise capital, scale your portfolio, or learn from someone who has navigated multiple market cycles, this is an episode you won't want to miss. 5 Key TakeawaysWhy Paul Transitioned from Single-Family to MultifamilyAfter completing 20+ flips per year, Paul realized the constant transaction cycle was demanding and difficult to scale. Multifamily offered a path to larger-scale growth with greater efficiency. The Fastest Way to Build CredibilityEarly in his career, Paul leveraged the track records of experienced operators. Today, he emphasizes that consistency, relationships, and a proven track record are the strongest credibility builders in capital raising. How Organic Content Attracts InvestorsPaul shares how simple educational videos and consistent market visibility have generated investor interest, including reconnecting with people he hadn't spoken to in decades. Why Today's Market May Present a Major Buying OpportunityDespite investor caution following recent market challenges, Paul believes current market conditions are creating opportunities similar to previous strong buying periods, particularly for disciplined multifamily investors. The One Trait That Separates Successful InvestorsAccording to Paul, most people quit before they reach success. His advice is simple: stay in the game long enough, keep learning, keep building relationships, and eventually opportunities will compound in your favor.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.
