This is the strangest economy I've seen in my lifetime. If you just looked at the macro data — the jobs numbers, G.D.P., the stock market — things look pretty normal. But they clearly aren't normal. The Trump administration spent the year upending the global trade system while tech companies spent hundreds of billions of dollars on A.I., a technology that could potentially displace many of our jobs. And people don't feel normal, either. Survey data shows that the vibecession rages on.Tracy Alloway and Joe Weisenthal are the co-hosts of the excellent economics podcast “Odd Lots” and have closely followed all the chaos this year. So I wanted to have them on the show to explain what the hell is going on.Mentioned:ChartsOdd LotsThe Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu“The Vibecession: The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy” by Kyla Scanlon“Everyone is Gambling and No One is Happy” by Kyla ScanlonBook Recommendations:Breakneck by Dan WangNorth Woods by Daniel MasonA Marriage at Sea by Sophie ElmhirstThe Digital Reversal by Andrey MirOrality and Literacy by Walter J.

As the year comes to a close, Laura reflects on a powerful pattern many women experience after breast cancer: feeling like an observer in their own life rather than an active participant. In this episode, Laura explores how trauma, uncertainty, constant stimulation, and comparison can lead to disconnection and low-level dissociation. She explains why stillness is often avoided, how the nervous system actually resets, and why intentional living is key to reclaiming agency after cancer. This conversation is an invitation to move out of autopilot, reconnect with your body and values, and step back into your life with intention as you move into a new year.   Topics Covered: Disconnection and dissociation after breast cancer Passive coping and its impact on healing Why distraction does not create safety The role of stillness in nervous system regulation Intentional living as a path back to participation   Let's Connect!

Producer Eric joins Travis in this episode to break down why creators, podcasters, and business owners do not need millions of followers to build a serious income online. Eric is a veteran content producer and host in his own right, bringing a creator's eye for monetization strategies, niche positioning, and long-term brand building to the conversation.​ On this episode we talk about: Why a massive audience is not required to make a full-time income as a creator How brands are shifting ad dollars toward small and midsize, niche creators Real examples of niche creators making five figures per month with modest audiences Why CPMs/RPMs vary wildly by niche (finance vs comedy vs generic entertainment) How to think about “blue ocean” opportunities and combining niches like Chiefs + Swifties Top 3 Takeaways You can out-earn much bigger creators by going narrow: a small, high-intent, niche audience often monetizes better than a huge, generic one because sponsors know exactly who they're reaching. Niche, high-ticket categories (brain health gear, vertical farming, audiophile equipment, real estate, finance) command far better ad rates and affiliate payouts than broad entertainment content. The real lever is fit, not fame: if your content solves a specific problem for a clearly defined group—and you either sell something yourself or attract aligned sponsors—you do not need a massive following to build a multi–six or seven-figure business. Notable Quotes "You don't need to have a million subscribers on YouTube to be able to make a full time income from doing YouTube videos." "Some people will have a half a million subscribers and make less than somebody with 15,000 subscribers, because it's in a very broad market that has really low RPMs." "Sometimes niching down means niching up—you can combine two things you care about and create a blue ocean where there's literally no competition."​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Send us a textDeath has never been funnier as legendary road comic Bob Worley transforms roadkill encounters into comedy gold in this special Audience of One bonus show. Bob kicks things off with a perfectly executed misdirection, asking host Scott Edwards about those heart-stopping moments when animals dart in front of your car – only to reveal he's never experienced this himself and is shocked that Scott apparently has a history of vehicular animal slaughter. The comedy builds as Bob shares increasingly absurd scenarios, including a friend who hit a deer and proudly displayed its duct-taped antlers as a trophy.The hilarity reaches new heights when Bob contemplates the physics of hitting a cow – "How does a cow dart out in front of your car? Don't they just mosey along?" His vivid descriptions of udder-hindered bovine movement will have you laughing despite yourself. The comedic climax arrives with Bob's confession about hitting a pigeon named "Billy" who tragically miscalculated his escape timing, followed by the other pigeons' pragmatic response to their friend's demise – "Oh, Billy didn't make it" – before proceeding to eat him in what Bob philosophically calls "the circle of life."This episode showcases exactly why Bob Worley has been a comedy staple for over four decades. His ability to find humor in life's uncomfortable moments and deliver it with impeccable timing reminds us why dark comedy, when done right, creates some of the most memorable laughs.

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Johnny Hilbrant—SoulCycle instructor turned viral sensation, also known as "PE Guy." From his roots riding and teaching at Soul in Chicago and Boston, Johnny talks about his journey from fitness enthusiast to comedic creator, blending his knack for improv and sharp observational humor to lampoon a familiar character . . . the "private equity bro" you inevitably get cornered by at a wedding or some other event. The conversation gets into how Johnny developed his PE Guy persona, why the character resonates so widely (with both chuckling fans and the occasional real-life PE pro who's less amused), and how he manages authenticity even as brand partnerships and cameo requests start rolling in. Along the way, Johnny and Pete also discuss the importance of self-awareness, the ability to laugh at yourself, and the line between satire and selling out. Whether you're in the PE world, the HALO sector (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor), or just love a good roast, this episode is packed with insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and plenty of laughs. On the private equity lifestyle Hilbrant states, "Some of these folks seem to be a little bit . . . haphazard, like a runaway train, because they're among other people who are buying watches and flying privately." Key themes discussed SoulCycle instructor journey and community. Industry changes and business model evolution. Creation and popularity of "PE Guy" character. Satire of private equity culture. Audience feedback and handling criticism. Brand partnerships and authenticity challenges. Creative process behind viral content. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Journey Into SoulCycle & Fitness Industry Johnny shared how he began his SoulCycle journey in Chicago while searching for his next career move. After auditioning with 60 others and being one of only two selected, he trained with Soul before relocating to Boston, where he found both community and success as an instructor. 2. Evolution of SoulCycle Culture: The conversation also touched on the shifts in SoulCycle's energy and market position over the years. Hilbrandt acknowledged changes due to increased competition and tweaks to the business model, but emphasized that the unique, immersive studio experience and community still remain, even if the industry's "buzz" has faded a bit. 3. Viral Creation of "PE Guy": The "PE Guy" character began as a playful exaggeration of a certain type you meet at weddings—someone who talks at you endlessly. He used a filter to bring this persona to life, and after giving the character a private equity job, the videos quickly went viral. He credits the rapid rise to relatable satire and people recognizing the archetype. 4. Reception of Satire—Mostly Positive, Rare Backlash: Most of the audience, even those in private equity, really appreciate Hilbrandt's satire. He's largely received positive feedback, with a few exceptions (such as one in-person encounter with a Bain professional who took it personally.) He noted the importance of self-awareness and being able to laugh at oneself, a skill he thinks can foster humility and potentially even positive changes in the finance industry. 5. Creative Process & Brand Partnerships: Hilbrandt described his creative process as a mix of structured and spontaneous inspiration—sometimes scripting out ideas, other times improvising based on something he sees or hears. The success of "PE Guy" has led to lucrative partnerships, especially with B2B and tech brands, though luxury brands are often hesitant to be self-deprecating. He's committed to maintaining authenticity and resisting "selling out," balancing brand deals with staying true to the character's comedic roots.

“This lightbulb went off that almost no one was asking these questions.”In 2006, Elie Hassenfeld and a few of his friends pooled some money they wanted to donate to charity. And they wanted to find charities where their money would go the farthest in improving lives. That information, it turned out, was incredibly hard to find.That was the seed of GiveWell. For almost a decade, GiveWell has dedicated itself to rigorously researching the impact of charities around the world and channeling donations to the ones that are the most effective at saving lives. It might sound simple, but this was a radically new approach in the world of charitable giving, and the work itself isn't simple at all.I've supported GiveWell through the years. So as the year winds down and other people might be thinking about giving to a charity, I wanted to invite Hassenfeld, GiveWell's chief executive, on the show to talk through this work. How does it measure impact? Are there limits to what you can measure? As an organization, has it made mistakes? What does it really mean to give well?If you like what you hear, I hope you'll also consider donating to GiveWell.

The Diary of a CEO's Director of Trailers, Anthony Smith, on capturing attention in the first few seconds, building cliffhangers and emotional momentum that keep audiences watching (or reading), and testing hooks and packaging without losing trust or story.You'll learn:Why you only have 3–5 seconds to earn attention, and what that changes about your opening lines and first scenes.How to take the guesswork out of hooks by testing titles and thumbnails to see what audiences actually care about.Ways to pull a more compelling later moment forward and work in reverse when the early material is setup.What makes a cliffhanger work across books and videos, and how to raise the stakes so people feel “gutted” not knowing the answer.How to build an “emotional rollercoaster” so the narrative never flatlines.Why sound and silence can help storytelling work, creating intensity and then giving the audience space to breathe.How to balance intrigue with respect for your audience by offering a “moment of value” instead of holding everything back.Why giving away too much can kill curiosity, and how to protect the reason someone keeps reading or watching.Resources and Links:

This is one of my favorite conversations in recent memory — with the writer Zadie Smith. Smith is the author of novels, including “White Teeth,” “On Beauty” and “NW,” as well as many essays and short stories. Her ability to give language to the kinds of quiet battles that live inside of ourselves is part of why she's been one of my favorite writers for years.“We absolutely need to gather in our identity groups sometimes for our freedoms, for our civil rights. There's absolutely no doubt about that. But for that role to be the thing that is you existentially all the way down — that is something that I personally believe all human beings revolt from at some level,” she told me when we spoke last September, shortly before  Trump's re-election.It's ideas like these that I found interesting to revisit now, in a starkly different political climate. In this conversation, we discuss Smith's novel, “The Fraud,” which Smith wrote with Trump and populism front of mind; what populism is really channeling; why Smith refuses the “bait” of wokeness; how people have been “modified” by smartphones and social media; and more.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:Feel Free by Zadie Smith“Fascinated to Presume: In Defense of Fiction” by Zadie SmithAmusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman“Generation Why?” by Zadie SmithBook Recommendations:The Director by Daniel KehlmannThe Rebel's Clinic by Adam ShatzThe Diaries of Virginia WoolfThoughts?

Introduction of the 1990 Richard Linklater film Slacker and its unconventional narrative structure focusing on small amounts of time with multiple characters. Deep Dive into Cultural and Generational Impact (07:48 - 18:08) Discussion on the generational divide (Gen X vs Older Millennials) and how the film captures the directionlessness and creative spirit of early 90s youth culture, especially in Austin, Texas. The movie's reflection on mental health, societal roles, and the slacker ethos as a distinct identity with unique struggles and ambitions. Storytelling Methods and Character Vignettes (18:08 - 33:46) Exploration of the film's narrative style: non-linear, vignette-driven, character-focused, with no resolved plot but connected by settings and interactions. Notable memorable characters and scenes: hit-and-run guy, conspiracy theorist, woman recently discharged from a mental hospital, and the 'you should quit' mantra. Film Production Context and Cultural Legacy (33:47 - 50:34) Examination of the extremely low $23,000 shooting budget using film stock, guerrilla filmmaking style, and unpaid or deferred payment cast and crew. Discussion on Austin's artistic community's role in the movie's creation and legacy. The film as a time capsule and cultural snapshot of Austin's 1990 scene. Comparison to Other Films and Audience Engagement (50:35 - 01:00:49) Comparison with contemporaneous movies, e.g., Dances with Wolves, Misery and other 'weird' indie films, and Linklater's other work like Dazed and Confused. The film's thematic core of human connection and authentic interaction despite being a clear time capsule. ️ Personal Experiences and Generational Nostalgia (01:00:50 - 01:07:45) Hosts share personal anecdotes about high school experiences, alternative schools, and the value of finding 'freak' communities. Reflection on generational transitions and the continuation of youth culture patterns despite changing technology and social tools. Accessibility and Appeal of "Slacker" Today (01:07:46 - 01:14:15) Discussion on how the film's reputation preceded the viewing experience, yet it remains accessible and enjoyable regardless of familiarity or age. Analysis of the film's tightly scripted dialogue despite its casual and naturalistic style, and comparison with mumblecore movies and shows like Seinfeld. Closing Remarks, Promotions, and Actionable Content for Audience (01:14:15 - 01:20:16) Guest Xan Sprouse promotes her podcasts Gold Standard and Drunk Cinema and her social media (udinax19). Case and Sam promote the Certain POV network, including Patreon tiers, Discord, YouTube channel growth, and new shows like Trade School. Announcement of next episode covering Highlander 2: The Quickening and closing credits.  

Gavin Newsom is the 2028 Democratic front-runner. That's what many of the polls and the Polymarket betting odds say.It's been widely believed that Newsom wants to run for president someday. But belief that he could be a front-runner was less common. A liberal white guy from a state that much of the country considers badly governed just didn't seem like the profile the Democratic Party was looking for.But as a Californian who has watched Newsom for a long time, I was surprised by him this year. After President Trump returned to the White House, Newsom started a podcast, interviewing people like Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon and Michael Savage, which made a lot of Democrats mad. At the same time, Newsom turned himself into the leader of the resistance — trolling Trump on social media and pushing a ballot initiative to end California's independent redistricting to counter the partisan redistricting effort in Texas.Newsom has been willing to try things and take risks. He has shown a feel for this moment — in politics and in the way attention works now.But it's still true that he runs a state that the country considers badly governed. California tops the rankings of unaffordable states, at a time when affordability has become a central electoral issue.In this conversation, I ask Newsom about all of this — what he learned this year from talking to figures on the right, how he thinks the Democratic Party can win back voters it lost, why California is so unaffordable and what he's doing about it.Mentioned:Applebee's America by Ron Fournier, Douglas B.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the fabulous musician and icon INFINITE COLES!For those unfamiliar, yes Infinite Coles is the son of Ghostface Killah of Wu Tang - just to address that particular genetic detail! Though Infinite is in no way staying in what we now know as the familiar Wu lane, or using the name to get over. Far from it. Infinite is proudly out there as a queer artist as they bloody well should be, and dropping fierce dancefloor boulders so far from those discordant RZA Stax soul loops of the 90's. Kicking things off in this chat with a hint of self-proclaimed nerves, these soon melt as the two go in on all kinds of conversational gold, including said Wu connections of course, London as 2nd home, stylist and model friend groups, finding their voice and going in on it, mutual pal Uglyworldwide, mutual pal Richard Russell (XL Recordings), the fusion of ballroom / vogueing / house music, covid era shelter experiences, RZA coming through when others didn't, reclaiming slurs, alternative perspectives of family songs of the past, the process of penning a song about a parent in a very tough moment, and ohhh so much more. It's definitely a situation where you're better off just diving in on this episode. You'll get it. A lovely, uplifting and inspiring conversation from a voice of which we will hopefully hear more.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureONLINESWEETFACEKILLAHUGLYWORLDWIDESPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Who doesn't love the smell of a fresh Christmas tree? That unmistakable pine scent isn't just nostalgic — it may actually have measurable benefits. We start this episode with a look at why the aroma of pine can lift your mood, help you relax, and enhance your holiday season. Source: https://www.foxnews.com/health/the-healing-power-of-pine Audiences are remarkable. Whether it's a play, a movie, or a concert, something special happens when people gather — a shared energy that shapes how we feel and how performers respond. But how did audiences become “a thing”? Why do we applaud? And how did we learn the unspoken rules of audience behavior? Theatre historian Robert Viagas, Editor-in-Chief of Encore Monthly and longtime Playbill veteran, joins me to explore the fascinating evolution of audiences. He's author of Right This Way: A History of the Audience. (https://amzn.to/46F8lOS) We love certainty — confident leaders, clear answers, and firm decisions. Yet uncertainty can be surprisingly powerful. Journalist Maggie Jackson explains how not knowing can spark curiosity, deepen thinking, and ultimately lead to better choices. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Business Week, Vanity Fair, and Wired.com. She's the author of Uncertain: The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure.
