The broken windows theory suggests that one broken window can cause a neighbourhood to descend into disrepair.

In this bonus, author interview, I sit down with Marc Baer and discuss his latest book: Children of Abraham: The 1,400-Year History of Jewish–Muslim Relations. Today, the dominant narrative of the relationship between Jewish and Muslim peoples assumes a long history of violent hostility. In Children of Abraham, historian Marc David Baer lays this myth to rest, showing how Jews and Muslims lived together in the Middle East and Europe, more often in cooperation than in conflict, for more than a millennium. When Islam emerged in the seventh century, Muslims and Jews were bound by shared religious tenets and common cultural practices, and for centuries afterward, they were often allies.Baer introduces readers to Muslim warriors fighting for a medieval Turkish Jewish kingdom on the Caspian Sea, Jewish viziers leading the Muslim sultan's troops in Spain, and Jewish literary lights and political party leaders in modern Egypt and Iraq. But Baer resists the alluring fable that Jews and Muslims ever lived in interfaith utopia, and he shows how European colonization and nationalism fed the emergence of modern antisemitism and Islamophobia and helped to drive these two peoples further and further apart.Traversing the full spectrum of Jewish–Muslim relations, this is an urgent, essential history for understanding today's unending conflicts in the Middle East and beyond.Buy The Book HERE

Direct response ads are written to take the customer from Attention to Interest to Desire to Action in a single encounter.Direct marketers have a product or a service to sell. They don't have a brand to protect.This is why ROAS is the perfect analytical tool for them.ROAS is the acronym for Return On Ad Spend.In other words, it is the Return On Investment of your ad budget.You can:measure lead generation with ROAS.compare the effectiveness of media with ROAS.track sales attribution with ROAS.But you will never build a brand with ROAS.In fact, the measurement of ROAS will always – without exception – lead to the disintegration of your brand.Here's why:To produce an impressive result in a short period of time, your ad must contain a degree of urgency.Urgency is not sustainable, nor is it scalable.The longer you run urgent ads, the less well they work.ROAS always looks great on paper for about a year, sometimes even 18 months.But then the wheels fall off and you can never put those wheels back on again. Your brand will never be more than a shadow of its former self.Consider this:A successful Going Out of Business sale is simply a massive extraction of the stored value in a brand. This “stored value” is the reputation of the company and the trust of its customers.These are variables that determine the success of every Going Out of Business Sale:Has this company routinely advertised a Sale or offered a discount?How highly do people esteem this brand?How credible is the urgency contained in the ad copy?ROAS always leads to short-term thinking because ROAS rewards ads that extract the largest amount of stored value from the brand.Have you built a brand?Do people feel a connection to your brand?The day that you begin using ROAS to determine which ads work best, you will have launched a Going Out of Business Sale whether you intended to or not.Roy H.

One in every five American adults is a customer. The company generates more than $32 billion in annual revenue. And the $17 trillion in customer accounts and investment funds it manages exceeds the combined gross domestic products of Germany, Japan, and India. Yet despite Fidelity Investments' enormous influence, relatively little has been known about the singular family behind the Boston-based multinational financial services giant. In his new book, House of Fidelity, Justin Baer, deputy markets editor with The Wall Street Journal, reveals the dramatic three-generation saga of the fiercely private Johnson family and how they helped transform American investing. This week, Baer shares the behind-the-scenes story of Fidelity's success and the universal lessons Fidelity's rise offers in leadership, marketing, innovation, and succession planning.

Few journalists have spent more time inside the power centers of American finance than Justin Baer. As a senior editor at the Wall Street Journal, Baer has covered the biggest banks, brokers, and asset managers in the world, from the post-2008 regulatory battles to the pandemic economic shocks that rewrote the rules of investing almost overnight. His reporting has taken him inside Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Pimco, and dozens of other institutions that shape how capital moves through the global economy. Now he has turned that same lens onto one of the most influential and least understood firms in American finance, Fidelity Investments, in his new book The House of Fidelity, a rare behind-the-walls look at a company that has managed roughly $18 trillion across 83 million customer accounts while revealing almost nothing about how it actually operates.On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Podcast, we sit down with Justin to unpack the hidden history of Fidelity, what the Johnson family dynasty tells us about the future of American investing, and what journalists and investors alike are getting wrong about artificial intelligence. Justin breaks down how Fidelity survived an existential crisis in the 1970s and came out the other side as the dominant force in American retirement savings, why being a private company turned out to be one of the greatest strategic advantages in financial history, how the democratization of investing really began and who deserves the credit, and what the current AI investment boom has in common with the fiber optic bubble of the late 1990s.

In this episode, Dr Daniel Cobian discusses all things running post ACL reconstruction, specifically the research that he and the team at the University of Wisconsin have been looking at regarding running biomechanics changes in post-surgical recovery. How pervasive they are, how we can detect them in the clinical setting, their clinical relevance, and how we can tailor our rehab to address these changes with our athletes. Dr Cobian is an associate professor in the department of orthopedics and rehabilitation at the University of Wisconsin, a faculty member in their doctor of physical therapy program, a research scientist in their athletic performance lab, and works clinically with their student athletes. He has been at the University of Wisconsin for the past 10 years, since completing his PhD from the University of Iowa, focusing on neuromuscular function following knee injury and surgery. Topics: What changes in running biomechanics are observed in athletes after ACL reconstruction and how long post-surgery do these changes last? What are the implications of the athlete continuing to run with these altered biomechanics? How can we assess and detect these changes in a clinical setting without access to expensive 3D motion capture and biomechanical analysis equipment? What are the likely causes of these biomechanical changes? How can we tailor post-surgical rehabilitation to target these changes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaYNynwvAqQ References: Cobian, D.

Today we're talking with Rebecca Baer, President and CEO of the Shasta Economic Development Corporation, or Shasta EDC. We've talked with the EDC before, but this conversation focuses on what it really takes to bring a new business to Redding.And spoiler alert—it's not just incentives, though Redding does have plenty of those to offer. We talked a lot about quality of life here in Redding… and what it really looks like to get a company to say “yes” to this community.  This isn't your typical economic development conversation. The big takeaway is there are a lot of reasons businesses choose Redding—and a lot of people working behind the scenes to make that happen.But at the end of the day, quality of life makes a big difference. And we have it here—but prospective businesses just won't know that unless we start saying it a little louder.So this episode is called “Say Nice Things About Redding,” to highlight Rebecca's biggest message to the community.Read the transcript here >>Contact the City of Redding Podcast TeamEmail us at podcast@cityofredding.orgConnect with us on Facebook, Twitter and InstagramVisit the City of Redding websiteLove the podcast?

Episode web page: https://bit.ly/3Odmj7r Epsiode description In this episode of Insights Unlocked, Nathan Isaacs sits down with Stephen Baer, author of Stickology: How to Build Unbreakable Connections with Employees and Customers for Life, to explore why engagement is the true engine behind business performance—not just a feel-good initiative. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience across gaming, corporate leadership, and behavioral science, Stephen introduces a powerful framework for understanding connection in organizations: “Velcro vs. glue.” He explains why most companies rely on fast, surface-level engagement that fails under pressure—and what it takes to build deeper, more resilient relationships with both employees and customers. Stephen also unpacks the critical link between employee experience and customer experience, sharing why disengagement shows up long before metrics drop—and how leaders can spot early warning signs. From designing for belonging in product and UX to embedding purpose into everyday decisions, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for creating organizations that truly “stick.” Along the way, Nathan and Stephen discuss the role of leadership, the importance of coaching over managing, and why not all friction is bad—highlighting how thoughtful, human-centered moments can actually strengthen trust and loyalty. You'll learn: Why engagement is a business strategy, not an HR initiative How employee experience directly impacts customer experience The difference between “Velcro” and “glue” organizations Early warning signs of employee and customer disengagement How to design for belonging in products and experiences What “good friction” is—and why it builds trust How to turn purpose into everyday operational decisions A practical 30-60-90 day approach to improving engagement Episode links Stephen Baer's website (https://stephenbaer.com/#home-section Stickology book (https://www.amazon.com/Stickology-Unbreakable-Connections-Employees-Customers/dp/9699592532) Stephen Baer on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenbaer/ Nathan Isaacs on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanisaacs/) Learn more about Insights Unlocked: https://www.usertesting.com/podcast

This week on The Remarkable Retail Podcast, Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc break down the forces reshaping retail before sitting down live at Shoptalk in Las Vegas with Matt Baer, CEO of Stitch Fix. The episode opens with a wide-ranging look at the macro pressures bearing down on the industry—geopolitical conflict, rising tariffs, and supply chain strain. Earnings from Nike and RH reveal a consistent theme: even iconic brands can stumble when positioning and innovation lag behind a volatile consumer environment. In grocery, the "collapse of the unremarkable middle" continues as Walmart, Amazon, Aldi, and premium players squeeze traditional operators like Albertsons. A wave of M&A activity—including Allbirds' dramatic valuation collapse, Bed Bath & Beyond's improbable resurrection, and its acquisition of The Container Store—underscores just how much disruption is still unfolding. The hosts also push back on the hype around AI tools like Macy's shopping assistant, cautioning against confusing correlation with causation. At the center of the episode is a compelling conversation with Matt Baer, who outlines how Stitch Fix is executing a disciplined turnaround built on three phases: establishing a strong operational foundation, reimagining the customer experience, and returning to sustainable growth. Four consecutive quarters of improving revenue trends suggest the strategy is working. Baer's core argument is that true personalization isn't about volume or targeting—it's about relevance, timing, and understanding customers at a granular level. Stitch Fix achieves this by pairing deep data and AI-driven recommendations with human stylists who bring judgment, empathy, and relationship-building to a category that remains inherently emotional. New tools like AI styling assistants and digital visualization are enhancing that human element, not replacing it. The episode closes with forward-looking perspective on retail crime, supply chain vulnerability, and macroeconomic uncertainty—and a clear throughline: in an increasingly chaotic landscape, agility and strategic clarity aren't optional.

Artificial Intelligence is changing the world in ways that seemed unthinkable to most of us just a few years ago. With each week the advancements appear to be changing new aspects of our lives. To discuss the rapid advancement, Myles Dannhausen Jr. talks to Prof. Thomas Baer of Stanford University, who will be leading a seminar series at Björklunden about AI and its implications in June. They discuss its growing impact on programming, health care, the workplace and creative pursuits. They also discuss its role in the Iran War and the growing ethical concerns about its use in warfare and the resources it consumes. ,

Welcome back to the Video Store Podcast. It's Women's History Month, so today, we're honoring the life of Jane Baer, a trailblazer for women in animation. We lost Jane on February 16, 2026, and though you may not have known her name, you have seen her work. Her work has been so influential that we've already talked about a few of her films here on the Video Store Podcast. We've selected 4 films for the staff picks wall this week, highlighting her work. The Rescuers (1977)First up is the underrated Disney classic, The Rescuers from 1977. Bianca and Bernard are sent from the Rescue Aid Society to save Penny, an orphan girl held captive by the evil Madam Medusa, who is hunting for the Devil's Eye, an enormous diamond in a small cave that's only big enough for a small girl to get into. Can they save her? You'll have to watch The Rescuers to find out. Pete's Dragon (1977)Combining live-action with animated sequences, Pete's Dragon from 1977 made 5-year-old me believe that I could become friends with my favorite cartoon characters. Jane's work on this film carries over to another film that her own animation company helped produce in 1988, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The Great Mouse Detective (1986)A vastly underrated and unsung Disney classic from 1986, The Great Mouse Detective is an adaptation of the book series of the same name. Basil of Baker Street must stop the nefarious Professor Rattigan from taking out the Queen and becoming the royal consort of all mousedom. This film is notable for its gorgeous styling and performance from Vincent Price as Professor Rattigan. The Prince and the Pauper (1990)Finally, we look at a lesser-known Disney short, The Prince and the Pauper, based on the Mark Twain story of the same name. This short features Mickey as both the titular Prince and Pauper, and was produced with the aid of Jane's production company, Baer Animation. For these films, as well as many more, we lift our glasses and bowls of popcorn in honor of Jane Baer's life and work. Happy Women's History Month, and thanks for joining us here at the Video Store Podcast. Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! This post is public so feel free to share it. This is a public episode.

Impact of Feedback: When employees believe their feedback is actually used to make improvements, they are 37% less likely to look for a new job. Pew Research Center On average, engaged employees see a 20% individual performance improvement and an 87% reduction in the desire to leave.   A  2024 research Survey with The Harris Poll found that managers play a critical role in moving employees from burned out and checked out to thriving. For employees who say they are thriving, the top indicator is a manager who is "invested in their success." Employee thriving is driven by three key drivers:   Stephen Baer is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Engagency, a firm built on his core belief that human engagement is the engine of business performance.

Stella Maria Baer is a Santa Fe–based painter whose work is deeply rooted in land, light, and place. Known for her luminous depictions of moons, desert skies, horses, and wide-open Southwestern landscapes, Stella often makes her own pigments by hand—grinding rocks, dirt, and minerals into paint that quite literally contains the places she portrays. In addition to her studio practice, she teaches intimate workshops on natural pigment painting for land-based artists on her New Mexico property, creating space for people to reconnect with their creativity, their hands, and the earth itself. Stella grew up in New Mexico in a family of artists—her mother was a weaver, her grandfather a photographer, her grandmother a sculptor—and spent summers on a Wyoming ranch that shaped her lifelong love of horses and open country. Though art was always around her, she initially pursued religion and philosophy, studying questions of desire, goodness, and the inherent value of land. Painting began not as a career move but as a private, prayerful practice—drawing birds in journals to quiet a busy mind. Over time, that contemplative discipline evolved into a full-time vocation, one that ultimately drew her back home to New Mexico after years on the East Coast, where she had found herself painting the desert from memory and longing. In this conversation, we talk about that journey—from philosophy classrooms and sacred poetry to moon paintings and hand-ground pigments. Stella shares how critique shaped her work in unexpected ways, how motherhood has influenced both her art and her priorities, and the powerful story behind rescuing her horses from kill pens—animals that now carry deep personal meaning connected to her late mother. We also discuss the importance of play, silence, and being a beginner in a screen-saturated world. Stella rarely does interviews, so I'm especially grateful for her willingness to sit down and speak so thoughtfully and authentically about her life and work. It's a reflective conversation about creativity, land, faith, and following one's unique artistic curiosity. I feel like Stella and I only scratched the surface of her curiosity, land ethic, and artistic journey, so I'll look forward to having her back for another conversation in the future. But for now, I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. --- Stella Maria Baer Moon Horse Ranch Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/stella --- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Mountain & Prairie is listener supported via Patreon, and brought to you with support from the Central Grasslands Roadmap, The Nature Conservancy in Colorado, North Bridger Bison, and the Old Salt Co-op for their generous sponsorship. --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 0:00 - Intro and sponsor highlight 7:50 - Stella's origin story 12:00 - Art in Stella's childhood 14:35 - Zoning in and drawing birds 19:39 - Religion and philosophy degrees 21:58 - Wendell Berry and the Bible 25:07 - Responding to critiques 27:42 - New Mexico love 33:01 - Why moons? 36:07 - Importance of play 44:12 - How having kids changed things 50:54 - Stella's horses 55:28 - Stella's workshops 1:02:08 - Book recs 1:06:00 - Wrapping up --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

Creating Engaged Employees and Loyal Customers   Shep interviews Stephen Baer, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Engagency. He talks about his new book,  Stickology, and how building strong emotional connections and engaging both employees and customers leads to lasting loyalty.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How does internal employee engagement influence external customer experience?  Why is it important for organizations to go beyond surface-level personalization in delivering customer experiences?  How can companies strike the right balance between friendly service and convenience to create lasting loyalty?  How can organizations move from transactional interactions to building relationships with their customers?  Why is it essential to invest in employee experience to drive customer satisfaction?  Top Takeaways:    Internal engagement is the foundation of strong customer loyalty. What happens inside your organization is always felt by your customers on the outside. If your employees are engaged, respected, and motivated, customers feel that in every interaction with your brand.   When organizations invest in their people, the result is better service and stronger customer relationships because empowered employees have the confidence to go above and beyond for customers.   Engagement isn't just good for workplace culture. It's good for business. Companies that focus on both employee and customer engagement see more revenue, higher employee and customer retention, and outpace their competitors.   It's easy to form a connection, but lasting loyalty requires deeper engagement. Connections made quickly can fall apart just as fast if the next interactions are inconsistent. Genuine engagement takes time and is operationalized so it ingrained in the culture and felt in every interaction.  Personalization by itself, even when powered by advanced technology, is not enough to build lasting loyalty. Relying on algorithms alone will expose a brand to being outgrown by its customers or out-innovated by its competitors. Customers stick with brands that make them feel emotionally connected and valued. Human elements, not just algorithms, are what creates long-term fans.   Convenience is no longer a unique advantage. It is an expectation. Today's customers want easy, seamless interactions everywhere they shop. To stand out, businesses need to pair convenience with authentic, memorable service.   Customers are going to talk about their experience with a company. When employees are engaged, they create advocates, customers who often spend more, and are more likely to recommend the business to others.   Plus, Stephen shares more insights from his book, Stickology: How to Build Unbreakable Connections with Employees and Customers for Life. Tune in!  Quote:   "It's not just about connecting. It's about building a relationship. It's about making that person feel seen, heard, valued, and empowered, whether they are a customer or an employee. It takes time, but the bond holds together stronger."  About:    Stephen Baer is the author of Stickology: How to Build Unbreakable Connections with Employees and Customers for Life, and the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Engagency.  He has 30 years of experience in behavioral science and engagement from leadership roles at companies such as The Game Agency, Atari, and GE.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Nick Reiner was under court-ordered conservatorship in 2020. A judge declared him "gravely disabled." Licensed fiduciary Steven Baer controlled his treatment. The Reiners obtained the most restrictive mental health intervention California law allows. It lasted one year. Four years later, both parents are dead—allegedly killed by the son they fought to help.The devastating loophole: under California law, if a family provides food, clothing, and shelter for a mentally ill loved one, that person may no longer qualify as "gravely disabled." The Reiners may have lost the conservatorship not because Nick got better—but because they kept caring for him. The system forces families into an impossible choice: abandon your child or lose legal authority to force treatment.We trace the timeline: 2019 police calls to the Reiner home. Nick's reported schizophrenia diagnosis around 2020. The conservatorship under Steven Baer that ended after one year. The medication change approximately one month before the killings that sources say triggered a "complete break from reality." And we examine why Baer will almost certainly testify—and what his testimony means for Nick's defense.But the Reiner tragedy exposes a sixty-year failure. Before California's 1967 Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, families could petition courts to hospitalize violent, psychotic relatives. That system is gone. Today, someone can be paranoid, delusional, and dangerous but still walk free if they can say where they're going to sleep. California went from 37,000 patients in state psychiatric hospitals to fewer than 1,500 on involuntary conservatorships. Where did the patients go? The streets. The jails. Family homes where they became ticking time bombs.The Reiners reportedly spent vast sums on treatment. None of it mattered. The system finally has authority to hold their son—but it took two bodies to get him there.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #LPSConservatorship #TrueCrimeToday #StevenBaer #Deinstitutionalization #CaliforniaLaw #MentalHealthLaw #SystemFailureJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today on True Crime Today, we're examining one of the most consequential decisions in the Nick Reiner case—one that happened four years before Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death. Nick was placed under an LPS mental health conservatorship in 2020, overseen by licensed fiduciary Steven Baer. Baer wasn't family. He wasn't emotionally invested. He was a professional whose entire job is managing people who can't manage themselves. And yet that conservatorship ended after just one year. It wasn't renewed. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to analyze how someone manipulates their way out of professional oversight. Robin spent 21 years with the Bureau, including as Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—he recruited spies, getting people to trust him who were trained to trust no one. He knows what it takes to build credibility with a skeptical professional, and he explains the playbook. Conservatorship renewals require showing the person is still gravely disabled. That creates a clear target date. Robin walks us through what strategic compliance looks like in the months before that deadline—how you perform recovery, check the boxes, say the right things. Nick had been through 18 rehab programs. He knew the language. At what point does institutional fluency become a liability for accurate assessment? And what does it tell us that Baer's only public statement called this "a horrible tragedy" without elaborating further?#TrueCrimeToday #NickReiner #StevenBaer #Conservatorship #RobinDreeke #FBI #LPSConservatorship #MentalHealthSystem #Manipulation #ReinerCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Steven Baer is a licensed fiduciary. He does this for a living. He's not emotionally invested like family. He's seen manipulation before. And yet Nick Reiner's LPS conservatorship—which gave Baer the authority to force medication, to make treatment decisions, to place Nick in a locked facility if necessary—ended after just one year. It wasn't renewed. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Hidden Killers to analyze what it takes to manipulate a professional gatekeeper. Robin spent his career recruiting spies—getting people to trust him who were trained to trust no one. He knows the mechanics of building credibility with skeptical professionals, and he breaks down how Nick may have exploited the very accountability structures designed to protect him. Here's the thing about conservatorship renewals: Baer—or a treating physician—would need to petition and present evidence that Nick was still gravely disabled. That creates a timeline. That creates a target. Robin explains what strategic compliance looks like in the months leading up to that renewal date—how you perform recovery, hit the right notes, check the right boxes. Nick had been through 18 rehab programs. He knew the language. He knew what progress looks like on paper. Is there a point where someone becomes too institutionally fluent to be accurately assessed? And once you've beaten the system—once you're free of oversight—what do the next four years look like before something like this allegedly happens? Baer will almost certainly be called as a witness. Robin explains what both sides will want him to say.#HiddenKillers #NickReiner #StevenBaer #Conservatorship #RobinDreeke #FBI #LPSConservatorship #SystemManipulation #MentalHealthCrisis #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Meridith Baer grew up on the grounds of San Quentin prison, acted in TV and movies, wrote scripts in Hollywood … and then, at 50, started over – and built one of the best known home-staging companies in real estate.Meridith's life unfolds like a movie: As a teenager, she was forced to give up her baby for adoption. In her twenties, she was a writer for Penthouse. In her thirties and forties, she was a screenwriter in Hollywood, hobnobbing with Sally Field and dating Patrick Stewart.But in her late forties, Meridith hit a wall. Her writing career stalled, so she poured her energy into fixing up the house she was renting. When the owner sold that house almost immediately, she stumbled onto a strange new idea: why not stage homes for a living?From there, Meridith turned a few pieces of thrift-store furniture and potted plants into a full-blown business: trucks, warehouses, hundreds of employees, and high-end homes across Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and beyond. Along the way, she weathered the pressures of scaling a creative service into an operational machine—without ever raising outside capital.What you'll learn:How to reshape a career at 50 (or any age) without a master planHow Meridith priced her work based on value created, not hours workedWhy you don't always need investors to grow a multi-million-dollar service businessThe psychology of home staging: designing spaces that make buyers fall in love in the first 10 secondsHow Meridith thinks about legacy, stepping back, and seizing new opportunitiesTimestamps: 06:08 – Growing up as a warden's daughter inside San Quentin11:01 – Teen pregnancy, forced adoption, and reunion decades later12:43 – From Pepsi commercials to Penthouse magazine19:58 – Selling a major movie script, recoiling at the finished product22:47 – How a breakup with Patrick Stewart totally reshaped Meridith's life27:41 – The accidental first staging job at age 5035:17 – Early days of the business: vans, day laborers from Home Depot, and naming her price47:18 – Unexpected struggles: tax trouble, a cancer diagnosis51:07 – The business expands to New York and beyond1:00:22 – Running a 320-person company at 78—and what comes next1:05:56 – Small Business SpotlightThis episode was produced by Alex Cheng, with music by Ramtin Arablouei.
