You'll also pick up a new holiday mocktail recipe that's as festive as it is functional: Marcy's Cherry Ginger Mocktail.Then, the convo turns inward (and hygge AF) as Lauren and Michelle talk about finding joy in the simple sh*t — leaning into the darker, slower season, decluttering, and realizing that maybe… we already have everything we need.

#168: In this episode, Frauke sits down with Jeffrey Paul Ames, aka The Aromatic Gourmet, to explore the deep connection between fragrance, flavor, and beauty. Jeffrey shares how scent has guided his life, from his Italian family's aromatic kitchen to teaching sensory classes at the Institute for Art and Olfaction. You'll hear how he merges gastronomy and perfumery, creating “edible perfumes” through salts, syrups, and spices, and how sensory awareness can bring color, joy, and mindfulness back into our daily lives. Jeffrey also offers simple ways to make your meals, or any moment, more aromatic, which is perfect as we head into the holidays. If you've ever wanted to cook like a perfumer or use scent to anchor memories, this episode is a feast for your senses.Follow Jeffrey Paul on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@thearomaticgourmetJeffrey Paul Ames at The Institute for Art and OlfactionFollow Frauke on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@an_aromatic_life ⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit Frauke's website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.anaromaticlife.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get No Place for Plants children's book on Amazon⁠Learn about Frauke's ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Scent*Tattoo Project

Thinking about buying your first real watch? Here's what the dealers won't tell you about ghost listings, fake prices, and why that "deal" you found online doesn't actually exist. Part II of Andy's conversation with Christian Bruhn from The Art of Time dives into the messy reality of buying luxury watches in 2025 — where online listings lie, auction prices mislead, and first-time buyers get burned by doing their own "research."   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Ghost listings exposed: Why that Rolex Daytona you found online for $8K cheaper probably doesn't exist (and what luxury drop-shipping really means) The trust problem: How to find an honest watch dealer when everyone online claims to be an expert Watches as art, not commodities: Why buying for resale value is the wrong approach for your first luxury timepiece The secondary market advantage: How to get a better watch for 25-40% less than authorized dealer pricing (with full warranty transfer) First-time buyer mistakes: What guys get wrong when shopping for Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and other high-end watches Where to actually start: The 3 questions you need to answer before you spend $5K-$50K on a watch Key Quotes from Christian Bruhn: "You'll have individuals interested in a watch doing their own research, and their research leads them to ghost listings that aren't in stock and bottom auction pricing that isn't realistic. Then they come to me saying they want it for X, Y, and Z." "For first-time buyers, I would say trust the dealer. Trust the person doing this every day, because it's getting harder and harder to tell what's real online." "When you go into a boutique and walk outside, that watch settles into the secondary market and is now competing against every single boutique in the mall versus just the one you walked in." Why This Matters for First-Time Watch Buyers: If you're the guy who's always said "someday I'm gonna get a nice watch," this episode will save you thousands of dollars and massive headaches. Christian breaks down: How online watch pricing is flooded with fake listings for SEO purposes Why authorized dealer pricing doesn't reflect real market value The smart way to buy gold watches as an investment (hint: melt value matters) How to avoid the hype and buy what actually fits your style and lifestyle Christian Bruhn is a former 75th Ranger Regiment member who founded The Art of Time, a luxury watch dealership focused on authenticity, education, and helping collectors buy smart. He sources rare timepieces, navigates the secondary market daily, and calls out the BS that confuses first-time buyers.

What if the key to helping your kids love learning is simply seeing the world through their eyes?In this episode, we explore perspective as the secret sauce of education and connection. We begin with Steven's unforgettable appreciation letter to UPS (and the jaw-dropping chocolate response!), then move on to practical ways to help kids imagine other points of view—through microscopes and magnifying glasses, collaborative storytelling, fan fiction, and rich books that stretch their empathy. We also talk about “wasted” time, sandbox learning, and why pleasure matters more than performance.Listen in and choose one new perspective shift to try with your kids this week.Resources:Discover the adventure of self-directed learning with Unschool Adventures!

Our ligaments, tendons, and overall musculoskeletal system can take a real hit during the menopause transition, making injuries more frequent and recovery slower. Too often, practitioners still overlook common issues like tendinopathies—leaving women to live with unnecessary pain before getting an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. This week's guest, former pro triathlete and licensed massage therapist Jan Wanklyn, dives into the unique musculoskeletal challenges active menopausal women face, the soft tissue therapies (like ART) and exercise strategies that can help, and why she wishes hormone therapy had been an option back in her day.Jan Wanklyn, LMT, has been a massage therapist for 34 years. She is an Active Release Techniques® (ART) instructor and practitioner (1998–2025) and former professional triathlete with five Ironman wins (Germany, New Zealand ×3, Australia) and two Philadelphia Marathon victories.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed curator, author, and expert in photography, Madga Keany. Currently the Head Curator of International Art at the National Gallery of Art, Canberra, Magda was most recently Curator at the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, and before that, Senior Curator, Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery London, where she lead the realisation of a major re-presentation of the Photographs Collection as part of the museum's rehaul. Keany has curated shows and published texts on Australian art, design and social history, photography that ranges from the Victorian period to fashion, conflict and portraiture, solo presentations of portraits by Irving Penn, among many others. She has written for the groundbreaking Know My Name project, that put women artists in Australia on a global stage as well as for Cindy Sherman, A World History of Women Photographers, and more. …but it was her exhibition last year that really grabbed my attention: Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream in', that brought together the two photographers working 100 years apart, from very different worlds, circumstances and contexts, but which showed how these pioneering women shaped the medium, with their dreamlike pictures imbued with beauty, symbolism, classicism, transformation and more… So today, I couldn't be more excited to delve into the life of the 19th century photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron, who, aged 49 in 1863, picked up a camera and, largely self-taught, crafted her distinct bohemian style pictures with that hazy sepia glow, that proved to not only be influential in Victorian Britain, but have a huge impact on photography at large. As Cameron once said: “My aspirations are to ennoble Photography and to secure for it the character and uses of High Art by combining the real & Ideal & sacrificing nothing of Truth by all possible devotion to poetry and beauty.” And I can't wait to find out more.

For as far as we've come with AI and robotics, there's still a huge gap when it comes to combining the two. AI excels in the digital space, and in the physical world, robots are often pre-programmed. That's where physical AI comes in. It's critical for things that can't tolerate the kinds of mistakes that are common in today's statistics based AI, like self driving cars or managing the power grid. In the latest installment of our oral history project, we meet a central figure in these efforts, MIT's Daniela Rus.We Meet:  Daniela Rus is the Director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Credits:This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

Episode OverviewWhat if your body has been trying to communicate with you, and you've just forgotten how to listen?In this episode, Bryce sits down with Stuart Champion, a performance coach, educator, and founder of Balanced Body Wisdom, to explore the connection between movement, the nervous system, and true embodiment. Stuart shares how years of pain and imbalance became the catalyst for deeper awareness and how he helps others reconnect with their body's natural intelligence.This episode bridges the gap between fitness and feeling, performance and peace, strength and stillness.⸻Time-Stamped Show Notes00:00 – Introduction: The Science of FeelingBryce opens the conversation with the question: What if true strength begins with awareness, not effort?04:45 – Stuart's Story: From Injury to InsightStuart shares how back pain and surgery led him to discover the wisdom of the body and the power of awareness.“Pain isn't punishment, it's information.”11:20 – The Modern DisconnectExploring how many people live from the neck up, disconnected from their body's signals and trapped in survival mode.“The nervous system can't heal in survival mode.”18:50 – Practice One: Current StateHow awareness is the first step toward transformation and why most people are training compensation instead of capacity.“Awareness is the first rep of transformation.”27:10 – Practice Two: Waiting for the Nervous SystemLearning to slow down, create safety, and let the body open naturally instead of forcing adaptation.“Force tells the body what to do. Safety invites it.”36:30 – Practice Three: Equal and OppositesFinding balance through contrast: effort and ease, inhale and exhale, light and dark.“Balance isn't stillness, it's movement in harmony.”44:20 – Practice Four: IntegrationTurning insight into embodiment and understanding why awareness must become action.“Wisdom doesn't live in knowing, it lives in doing.”53:00 – The Art of Play and PresenceHow reconnecting to play restores energy, creativity, and presence.“Play is the purest form of presence.”59:10 – Tools for ReconnectionPractical breathwork, movement, and daily rituals to restore balance and self-awareness.“Breath is the remote control of the nervous system.”1:05:00 – Closing ReflectionsHow Stuart's approach helps people rediscover freedom, stability, and trust in their body's wisdom.⸻Key Takeaways    •    Awareness is the foundation of transformation.    •    You can't out-train a nervous system that doesn't feel safe.    •    True balance exists within contrast: strength and softness, effort and ease.    •    Pain is a signal that you've drifted away from alignment.    •    Breath and play are gateways to restoring natural harmony.⸻Notable Quotes    •    “Stillness is strength in disguise.”    •    “You can't heal if you're stuck in fight or flight.”    •    “Your body is wiser than your mind if you learn to listen.”    •    “Integration is the art of living your lessons.”    •    “Healing isn't about doing more, it's about doing what matters with awareness.”⸻Call to ActionIf this episode inspired you, subscribe to the ALLSMITH Podcast, leave a 5-star review, and share it with someone who's ready to come home to their body.Follow Stuart Champion:Website: wThank you for Listening!

But physical development, too, has an essential place in the whole-person, long-term vision of what our sons and students can become. Heights Athletic Director Dan Lively reminds us that the goals of athletic training don't begin and end with high school sports. In fact, lifelong functional fitness is in service to every vocation.

In the 40th episode of our "Reading the Art World" podcast, Megan Fox Kelly speaks with the Guggenheim's Megan Fontanella, Curator of Modern Art and Provenance, about her beautifully researched book "Gabriele Münter: Contours of a World," published by Guggenheim Museum Publications, distributed by Artbook DAP.Our conversation reveals the life and art of Gabriele Münter, a pioneering German Expressionist whose bold use of color and form helped define early modernism—yet whose place in art history has long been understated. Fontanella traces Münter's path from her early photographic work during travels in the United States (1898-1900) to her vibrant paintings that reimagined landscape, still life, and portraiture through radical simplification and expressive color.We discuss Münter's role as cofounder of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), the influential collective that included Vasily Kandinsky and other progressive artists who pushed the expressive potential of color and symbolic form. Fontanella shows how Münter developed her distinctive visual language—one that sought to "convey an essence" rather than imitate reality—offering a lyrical alternative to the pure abstraction that dominated much of early Modernism.One of the most compelling parts of our conversation addresses Münter's actions during World War II, when she hid major works by herself and other Blue Rider artists in the basement of her home in Murnau, Germany, protecting them from Nazi confiscation. This act of quiet courage preserved a vital chapter of modern art history. Fontanella reflects on how women artists of Münter's generation have been systematically undervalued, and how recent scholarship is finally restoring Münter to her place in the modernist canon.For anyone interested in German Expressionism, the recovery of women artists' legacies, or the collaborative networks that shaped the early 20th-century avant-garde, this episode offers essential insights into an artist whose vision continues to inspire—and whose work deserves far greater recognition.ABOUT THE AUTHORMegan Fontanella is Curator of Modern Art and Provenance at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. She is recognized as an expert in provenance research with a focus on World War II spoliation issues. Fontanella graduated from Dartmouth College with a BA in art history and received her MA from the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, where she specialized in late 19th-century French art.ABOUT THE EXHIBITION"Gabriele Münter: Contours of a World" is on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, from November 7, 2025 through April 26, 2026.

STOP! Before you try to make this drink, you will need to purchase Blue Blazer mugs  Where do I get Blue Blazer mugs you ask? Golden Age Bartending has a set of 2 you can purchase for about $50. www.goldenagebartending.com. Then go research fire safety!     In this episode we are turning up the heat—literally—with one of cocktail story's most spectacular and dangerous drinks: the Blue Blazer. This flaming whiskey cocktail isn't just mixed, it's performed, as blazing liquid cascades between two metal mugs in a fiery arc that's as mesmerizing as it is risky. In fact, make this drink at your own risk – things can go sideways easy. We talk about what we did to keep things safe, but you need to do your homework too if you decide to try to make this one.   Of course, we dive into the story of Jerry Thomas, the legendary 19th-century bartender who created this showstopper and quite literally wrote the book on bartending. His Blue Blazer became the grandfather of flaming cocktails and established the art of theatrical bartending that still captivates audiences today.  Jules and I walk you through the technique, the proper equipment (those specialized Blue Blazer mugs exist for a reason), and—most importantly—the safety precautions you absolutely need to know before attempting this at home. Because while the Blue Blazer is undeniably impressive, it demands respect and caution.  Whether you're a cocktail historian, a pyro enthusiast, or just curious about the drinks that pushed bartending into performance art, this episode illuminates the legacy of Jerry Thomas and the drink that proved cocktails could be both craft and spectacle.  Blue Blazer recipe: You'll need 2 Blue Blazer mugs to make the drink and 2 different mugs (or Brandy snifters) to serve the drink.    Ingredients (makes 2):  4 oz cask strength scotch  2 tsp of sugar  3 oz boiling water    Steps  Warm the scotch – it lights and stays lit easier  Warm a separate brandy snifter or ceramic mug  Lay down a damp towel and clear your area of any flammable materials  Place your Blue Blazer mugs on the towel – this is your workspace  In 1 of the METAL mugs, pour in your ingredients – leaving the other mug empty for now  Light the drink on fire   Carefully roll the mix between the Blue Blazer mugs 5 times. Keeping your hands away from the top of the handle (it' gets hot over the receiving mug).  Place the empty mug over the flaming mug to put out the fire – once the fire is out you can continue to roll the drink between mugs to dissolve the sugar  IMPORTANT: pour your cocktail into a new vessel – either a warmed brandy snifter or a ceramic mug. Otherwise, you WILL burn your lips on the Blue Blazer mugs  Garnish with a lemon twist    TIP: Fire and alcohol     Thinking about purchasing a Klaris ice machine?

In this mind-expanding conversation with personal empowerment mentor and shamanic dreaming arts teacher Joel Schafer, we dive deep into the Toltec wisdom that redefines what it means to awaken and reclaim our power in a world full of distraction and distortion. Joel shares how ancient shamanic practices, rooted in not doing, recapitulation, and dreaming arts, help us recover the energy and attention lost to modern chaos. We explore how slowing down time, grounding in nature, and dissolving self-importance open portals to heightened perception, intuitive awareness, and true freedom.Joel also sheds light on how unseen forces manipulate our attention through fear and drama, and how to become “unpalatable” to energetic harvesting by mastering presence and sovereignty. We unpack his experiences with cult dynamics, shadow teachers, and the seduction of power—lessons that reveal how even spiritual seekers can lose their way without self-honesty and humor.From lucid dreaming and parallel lives to the pitfalls of false enlightenment, Joel offers a grounded yet mystical roadmap for living impeccably—one rooted in trust, silence, and direct experience rather than ideology.

We're back in the trenches. This episode, Ryan joins Sabrina in the studio to unpack YOUR questions including “Are We Dating the Same Guy?” Facebook groups to what happens when your nervous system won't let you relax in a healthy relationship. They talk about what it actually means to trust yourself, why so many of us self-sabotage when things feel good, and how to stop creating stories in your head every time they don't text you back for a day. If you've ever said “I just feel blindsided,” or caught yourself scrolling back through screenshots trying to “decode” someone's behavior… this one's for you. Sabrina dives in on protest behavior, attachment styles, and that moment when you realize it's not about them. It's about your nervous system trying to protect you. If you keep finding yourself in relationships that start fast and end the same way, you're not broken. Your body just learned that fast feels safe. The Art of Going Slow is my new 4-week live program starting November 20. Together, we'll build the tools that help you stay calm, grounded, and connected while dating, without losing yourself in the process. Doors close November 18.

Want to stop self-sabotaging and start achieving? Steven Pressfield explains why overcoming resistance is the key to fulfilling your greatest creative potential. He also reveals some of the revolutionary ideas from his books: The War of Art, Turning Pro, and The Artist's Journey. I love Steven so much and could not be more honored to have him in the studio.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen Are you intrigued by the intersection of passion and profit in wine collecting? This Inspired Money episode, hosted by Andy Wang, brings together top minds from wine auctions, investment platforms, and market experts for an eye-opening look at how wine has become a bona fide asset class. Whether you're a seasoned collector, investor, or simply wine-curious, this discussion unpacks strategies to maximize both enjoyment and value. Episodes like this are packed with insights that demystify the fine wine market, reveal what really drives price appreciation, and share hard-earned advice on avoiding costly mistakes. Meet the Expert Panelists Nick Pegna is the Global Head of Wine & Spirits at Sotheby's, bringing over 30 years of international experience in building and leading fine wine businesses across Europe and Asia. Formerly a senior executive at Berry Bros. & Rudd, where he helped shape global markets and co-led Hong Kong's successful campaign to abolish wine duties, Pegna now oversees Sotheby's record-setting global auction and retail operations. https://www.sothebys.com Callum Woodcock is the Founder and CEO of WineFi, a London-based investment platform that combines institutional-grade analytics with expert curation to make fine wine investing more transparent and accessible. A former J.P. Morgan asset manager with degrees from the University of Bristol and the University of Cambridge, he's leading WineFi's mission to position fine wine as a data-driven, tax-efficient, and inflation-resilient asset class. https://www.winefi.co Amanda McCrossin is a sommelier, media personality, and creator of @sommvivant, where her wine-focused content reaches over 450,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Formerly the Wine Director at PRESS Restaurant in Napa Valley—the world's largest collection of Napa Valley wines—she's now a leading voice in wine education and storytelling, hosting the Wine Access Unfiltered podcast and appearing regularly at major global wine events. https://www.amandamccrossin.com https://www.sommvivant.me Robbie Stevens is the Head of Broking at Live-ex, the global exchange for fine wine, market data, and insight.

Disciplined Bidding at Auctions Nick Pegna reveals why preparation and strategy, including setting a maximum bid and understanding total costs, safeguard buyers against emotional overspending: "The most careful and frequent buyers at auction have a strategy. They've planned what they're looking to bid on...across multiple auctions." 2. Secondary Market Liquidity Drives Investment Value Callum Woodcock emphasizes the importance of focusing on wines with proven resale liquidity, not just brand prestige or critics' scores. Data-driven models and decades of market transaction history are now key to "blue chip" wine selection. 3. Storytelling Fuels Scarcity and Demand Amanda McCrossin illustrates how narrative and personal connection make certain bottles iconic and drive up their market value, citing Napa's Screaming Eagle as a prime example. "Scarcity is really only informed by storytelling...what has made Napa Valley so successful is the storytelling element." 4. Transparency and Technology Are Raising the Bar Robbie Stevens shares Liv-ex's role in fostering trust: from vetting merchants, digitizing provenance, to benchmarking prices. The expansion of data access and seller management tools allows collectors to track market movements and optimize timing for liquidation. Call-to-Action Take a look at one item in your own collection, wine, art, or even another collectible, and think about it like an investor. What makes it valuable? How would you verify its authenticity, track its performance, and decide the right time to sell? Just doing that exercise will give you a new lens for appreciating your investments, and maybe even inspire your next move.
