In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Janet Brunckhorst. What if your charitable dollars could do more than sit and wait to be granted out? In this episode, Janet shares how she began rethinking her donor advised fund as a giving vehicle and as a tool for investing in climate solutions. That shift opened the door to deeper money conversations about risk, liquidity, partnership and how to assign value to uncertain outcomes. Janet is a climate tech advisor, investor, and fractional executive. She provides strategic and operational support to climate founders in the US and Australia. Janet has led cross-functional teams building software products for the last 20 years, with her time at Aurora Solar cementing her commitment to the energy transition. She lives in San Francisco with her husband, kids, and cat, writes songs about science, swims in the Bay, and misses Melbourne coffee. Curiosity, Risk and Rewriting the Rules Janet Brunckhorst's story shows how early experiences with money can shape our comfort with risk and uncertainty. Growing up with financial anxiety and later seeing a family safety net disappear taught her that wealth can be unpredictable. Those lessons helped her take thoughtful risks, from traveling on a loan as a student to moving across the world with a young child and no job lined up. Her journey also highlights that money conversations are rarely just about numbers. Whether navigating different budgeting styles with her husband or deciding how to think about equity compensation in the tech world, Janet shows the value of curiosity, flexibility and honest dialogue. Today, Janet is exploring how capital can be used more intentionally for impact through her work connecting philanthropic capital with climate technology startups. For more insights on the economic possibilities that addressing climate change can create, listen to the episode with Tito Jankowski here.

But KQED's Rae Alexandra sets the record straight in her new book, ‘Unsung Heroines: 35 Women Who Changed the Bay Area.” From Delilah Beasley, a trailblazing columnist for the Oakland Tribune who inspired generations of black female journalists to Bertha Wright, a nurse, who in 1913 founded what we now know as Benioff Children's Hospital, Alexandra uncovers hidden histories and stories that deserve to be told.

Trust me when I say that a home on Indian Creek Island is not for you.First of all, you're not a billionaire. But even a billion bucks wouldn't buy your way onto this island in Florida's Biscayne Bay. It's the exclusive domain of such multi-multi-billionaires as Jeff Bezos, Larry Page, Ivanka Trump… and now Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook and Instagram.Mark, nicknamed “Zuck,” has just paid $170 million for a piece of this very special speck of turf, including a “cottage” with 9 bedrooms, 11 baths, a gym, a massage room, and a 1,500-gallon aquarium. Also, he built-in his own personal hair salon, plus a library with – get this – a secret passageway. No clue as to whether he reads any books, or just uses the passage to escape.Secondly, you wouldn't really be happy on Indian Creek Island, because it's a pretentious fake. This high-value enclave was constructed for low-value hucksters who've amassed outrageous fortunes by screwing over masses of workers, competitors, taxpayers, and others. Even the “island” is fake – it's a man-made landfill built in the Bay so ten very, very rich swells can isolate themselves from us commoners. Also, it's more of a doomsday compound than a community, with each of the über-rich hunkered down in what's been dubbed “Billionaire Bunker.”These demigods of gross inequality can buy any piece of paradise, but then they're so spooked they lock themselves behind $170-million walls, afraid of their own shadows. So, here's my free advice to Zuck to soothe his plutocratic trepidations: Steal a little less, practice being slightly likable, maybe downsize to only a $70 million mansion… and live more.

Sam Smith ate his way through The Bay - including Sarah's neighborhood! THE famous Pink Floyd guitar just sold for big bucks. Happy National Panda Day! Jane Fonda was protesting the Paramount and Warner Brothers merger at The Oscars. Human brains are prone to distractions - don't be too hard on yourself.

When will the real estate market come back?Spring 2026? Fall 2026? Spring 2027?That question is circulating across brokerages, coaching groups, and industry conversations everywhere right now.But what if everyone is asking the wrong question?In this episode of The MindShare Podcast, David Greenspan challenges agents to look beyond short-term market predictions and confront a tougher scenario:What if this is the market for the next three years?Not a crash.Not a boom.Just lower transaction volume, cautious buyers, anchored sellers, and slower momentum.Using current Toronto real estate market data, historical business examples, and real industry trends, David breaks down:• Why today's market slowdown may last longer than many agents expect• The structural mistakes agents make during slower markets• Why “just survive until spring” is not a real strategy• What past industry giants like Blockbuster, Kodak, Sears, Toys “R” Us, and Hudson's Bay teach us about failing to adapt• Why investor demand in GTA condos and pre-construction has cooled significantly• How lower transaction volume exposes weak business models• The math behind conversion rates, cost per deal, and pipeline sustainability• Why agents who rely on speed struggle when markets compress• How to stress-test your real estate business for a slower cycle• Why building a durable database and relationship system matters more than everDavid also explores the growing shift toward relationship-driven real estate business, where repeat clients, trust, and long-term follow-up become the most reliable sources of deals.Because in slower markets, attention shifts.Depth beats speed.Preparation beats optimism.And durable business models outperform momentum-driven ones.This episode is a reality check for real estate professionals who want to stay competitive, profitable, and relevant regardless of where the market goes next.This episode is sponsored by:KiTS Keep-in-Touch SystemsA complete marketing and lead generation CRM built specifically for real estate professionals.REM Real Estate MagazineCanada's premier real estate publication delivering industry news, commentary, and insights.If you're ready to take your real estate business to the next level, explore the MindShare Collective, David's collaborative coaching community designed to help agents grow through accountability, strategy, and shared learning.Visit:www.mindshare101.com

It's time once again for Monday Mailtime, where Producer Dom opens the inbox and reacts to your real-life paranormal encounters… and this week's stories are unsettling in very different ways.First, Maya shares a chilling experience from an old pub in Kidderminster.What began as a quiet afternoon drink quickly turned strange when the sound of glasses touching the bar echoed through an empty room, followed by the unmistakable murmur of voices, laughter, and conversation from people who weren't there.Staff call them “the old regulars”… but are these simply echoes of the past, or something that refuses to leave the place it once called home?Then Ethan takes us to a modern logistics warehouse in the Midlands, a place that should feel anything but haunted.Yet inside Bay 14, pallets moved when no one was there, scanners activated one by one as if something invisible was walking the aisles, and a presence seemed to be quietly rearranging the space.Not chaotic.Not violent.Precise.Two locations.Two very different hauntings.One that feels like the past replaying itself… and another that suggests something unseen may still be working the night shift.Producer Dom reacts, explores the possibilities, and asks the question we always come back to on this show:When places hold onto the energy of what happened there… do they ever really let it go?Got a story you can't explain? Send it in for a future Monday Mailtime episode… if you dare.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

NEWS WEAKLY 204 – Married At First Strike, Melbourne Saves Australia, and the Geography PoliceEpisode SummaryMissiles fly, oil markets panic, reality television becomes a geopolitical framework, and Queensland decides the best way to fight hate is by outlawing metaphors about rivers.This week, News Weakly explains the escalating Iran–Israel–US conflict using the only analytical tool Australians truly understand: Married At First Sight. Meanwhile, Australia may already be involved in the war in the most Australian way possible, Melbourne accidentally saves the nation from three more decades of commercial radio brain rot, the federal government discovers “social cohesion” is harder than it sounds, and Queensland enters the bold new frontier of criminalising specific slogans.It's geopolitics, media collapse, diaspora politics, and the strange ways governments try to regulate speech, all punched in the headlines weakly.Top Stories of the WeekMarried At First Strike: Iran, Israel, America and the Middle East Dinner PartyMissiles, air strikes, Khamenei's death, regional militias circling, and oil markets panicking. Why the current escalation looks less like careful diplomacy and more like the most explosive MAFS dinner party ever broadcast.Melbourne Saves AustraliaAfter nearly three decades of scandal, humiliation and cultural decline on breakfast radio, the Kyle and Jackie O empire finally hits a wall. Not because of regulators, outrage or consequences. Because Melbourne changed the station.Social Cohesion, Australian StyleThe federal government cancels funding for a Shia community centre after reports it mourned Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The political logic might make sense in Canberra, but the way it will be heard across Muslim communities is another story entirely.From the River to the Sea… or the Lake to the Bay?Queensland passes sweeping hate speech laws banning specific protest slogans. A legal innovation that raises an important question: if metaphors about rivers are illegal, what exactly counts as a body of water?Quote of the Week“Nothing says ‘we're not involved in the war' quite like Australian sailors possibly helping fire the torpedo.”Support the ShowIf you enjoy News Weakly and want to support the show, head over to Patreon at patreon.com/samishah.

Retail crime in Canada has reached a critical point. In this episode of The Voice of Retail podcast, host Michael LeBlanc welcomes back Rui Rodrigues, a veteran loss prevention leader and advisor working with the Retail Council of Canada, to unpack the rapidly escalating challenges facing retailers across the country. Rodrigues brings more than 30 years of experience in retail security and loss prevention, having worked with major retailers including Staples, Best Buy, Holt Renfrew and Hudson's Bay before launching his consulting practice. Today he works with retailers across Canada helping them address organized retail crime, risk management, and store safety while also collaborating closely with law enforcement and government partners. The conversation begins with a big picture look at how retail crime has evolved since the early days of the pandemic. Rodrigues explains that theft is not new, but the scale, organization, and violence associated with retail crime has increased significantly. Opportunistic shoplifting remains common, but retailers are increasingly dealing with organized criminal networks that exploit weak legal consequences and sophisticated resale channels. One major driver has been the growth of online marketplaces and social media resale channels, which allow stolen goods to be redistributed quickly and anonymously. Criminal enterprises can now move merchandise without the traditional risk of transporting large volumes across borders. Even more concerning is the growing level of violence and weaponization in retail theft incidents, with security teams reporting machetes, firearms, and bear spray being used to intimidate employees and prevent intervention. Retailers have responded by shifting away from physical apprehension policies in many cases, prioritizing employee safety over recovering merchandise. But Rodrigues also shares reasons for optimism. Over the past three years, the Retail Council of Canada has built a national retail crime task force, bringing together more than 30 police services along with retailers and prosecutors to coordinate intelligence and enforcement actions. Initiatives such as Project Retail Blitz focus targeted operations on repeat offenders and organized retail crime groups. The discussion also explores the growing political recognition of the issue. Retail leaders have recently met with federal and provincial governments to push for stronger legislation, including reforms aimed at organized retail theft and repeat offenders. According to Rodrigues, the goal is not only stronger laws but consistent enforcement and a structural approach to retail crime across police and prosecution services. The episode concludes with a preview of the upcoming Retail Secure Conference, where industry leaders, law enforcement, and policymakers will gather to share best practices and strategies for tackling retail crime and improving community safety. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur. He has been on the front lines of retail industry change for his entire career. Michael has delivered keynotes, hosted fire-side discussions and participated worldwide in thought leadership panels, most recently on the main stage in Toronto at Retail Council of Canada's Retail Marketing conference with leaders from Walmart & Google. He brings 25+ years of brand/retail/marketing & eCommerce leadership experience with Levi's, Black & Decker, Hudson's Bay, CanWest Media, Pandora Jewellery, The Shopping Channel and Retail Council of Canada to his advisory, speaking and media practice.Michael produces and hosts a network of leading retail trade podcasts, including the award-winning No.1 independent retail industry podcast in America, Remarkable Retail with his partner, Dallas-based best-selling author Steve Dennis; Canada's top retail industry podcast The Voice of Retail and Canada's top food industry and one of the top Canadian-produced management independent podcasts in the country, The Food Professor with Dr. Sylvain Charlebois from Dalhousie University in Halifax.Rethink Retail has recognized Michael as one of the top global retail experts for the fifth year in a row, the National Retail Federation has designated Michael as on their Top Retail Voices for 2025, Thinkers 360 has named him on of the Top 50 global thought leaders in retail, RTIH has named him a top 100 global though leader in retail technology and Coresight Research has named Michael a Retail AI Influencer.

Today, Kevin Brooks — the band's lead troubadour and chief storyteller — joins us to talk about three decades of Chesapeake Bay songs, Eastport legends, and how the Oyster Boys became the self-appointed (and officially appointed) Musical Goodwill Ambassadors for the City of Annapolis and the Maritime Republic of Eastport. We dig into the band's origin story, the "good hat, good dog, good boat" philosophy, and why the Oyster Boys have always mixed laughs with a little love for the Bay and the culture that surrounds it. We also preview the big 30th anniversary "Shuck It Tour Celebration" show at Maryland Hall on March 22, featuring founding member and Annapolis Poet Laureate Jeff Holland, plus a lineup of Oyster Boys alumni musicians. Proceeds benefit Annapolis Musicians For Musicians, which provides scholarships and emergency support for local working artists — so it's a party with a purpose. We cover tickets, the VIP option, and the post-concert reception, and Kevin shares what fans can expect when the band hits the stage for this hometown milestone. If you want Eastport stories, Chesapeake music, and a reminder that not everything in the world has to be taken so seriously — this one delivers.

The guys are back on the Cannon Fire Podcast to break down the latest noise surrounding Mike Evans' future with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With rumors heating up and questions swirling about the Bucs' long-term plans, we dive into what's real, what's speculation, and what it could mean for Tampa Bay's offense moving forward. Are the Buccaneers preparing for life without their franchise wide receiver? Or is this just offseason chatter getting out of control?We discuss the contract situation, the state of the WR room, how this impacts Baker Mayfield and the offense, and what a post–Mike Evans era would realistically look like in Tampa.

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1, with Sonia's life right after her stint at community college. She left the Bay Area to attend college up north at Chico State. Widely known as a party school (perhaps rightly so?), they also had a reputable journalism department and an award-winning newspaper. This attracted Sonia, of course. But some friends also attended, and that didn't hurt. Once in Chico, Sonia joined said college paper and got a job (where else?) at a movie theater. It was her first time to move out of her parents' house. She lived with a couple of roommates in Chico. That was one culture shock. Another was that, well, Chico isn't The Bay. And then there's those foothills winters. It also gets hotter in the summer there than it does in Concord. Sonia wrote for every section of the school paper, and even did some online writing, thanks to Chico State's early adoption of the internet. She even developed a little campus fan base. Sometimes walking around, she'd get shout-outs. There was even a Sonia character in one of the local comic strips. It was another phase of finding her people. She thinks that because all her roommates in Chico were men, she got really exciting to hang out with young women. She graduated after three years, in 1996. That Bay Area magnet snatched her back after that, and she moved in with her parents again in Concord. That gave way to an apartment she shared with her sister. Sonia got a job at the Martinez News-Gazette around this time, a three-day-a-week paper where she earned $213 per week. Anywhere she could find free food, she pounced. At the newspaper, she more or less did it all—cops, local and community news, school board meetings, and, of course, a humor column. I ask Sonia who her humor influences and inspirations are, and she immediately cites George Carlin (this is probably a big part of why we're friends). Her dad loved Carlin, too, and Sonia says the old man also has a wicked sense of humor that rubbed off on her. Another source of jokes was none other than Bugs Bunny. And lastly, Alan Alda's Hawkeye in M•A•S•H is another humor muse. That newspaper job led to her time at the San Francisco Independent, a paper owned by the Fang family. Sonia did a neighborhood beat on that job, reporting on school board, planning commission, and other community meetings. We rewind for a minute so Sonia can share early memories and impressions of San Francisco, having grown up across The Bay. When she was a kid, her grandma would take her to see The Nutcracker. She'd visit on other special occasions, but it wasn't until she was an adult that The City really grabbed hold of her heart. There's a hilarious story about showing up to dance at The Palladium wearing a "Ross Perot for President" T-shirt. Years later, with that job at the Independent, Sonia found herself in San Francisco most days. Though she had to write only three stories, the money was better and the circulation bigger than her previous job in Martinez. The beat was familiar—school board and planning commission meetings. She and her sister had bought a house for themselves in Concord, where they lived with her young niece. Eventually, the paper transferred Sonia to its Burlingame office, but it was to start writing movie reviews. Eventually, she even convinced the Independent to let her write TV show reviews. When the Fangs bought the San Francisco Examiner, they kept Sonia on to be their TV critic and moved her back to The City, to an office above the Warfield. She'll be the first to admit that when you're getting paid to watch TV, it's not so fun anymore. The paper cut Sonia, but brought her back three weeks later, this time to be the A&E editor. The Examiner was a slimmed-down, tabloid version of its former self. That's how it was a few years later when, fresh out of journalism school at SF State, I got a job there as a copy editor. I distinctly remember one of my favorite daily tasks was editing Sonia's celebrity gossip column—Scoop, which happened early in my shifts, around 4 p.m. or so. In the episode, I riff about how much I loved reading Scoop every day, even though I've never been good at or cared much for celebrity news. I also let Sonia know that I also appreciated her presence off the page, in the newsroom. She describes her time at The Examiner as something she loved, but it was also hard. She shares that, after working long days for little pay, she'd go home and play The Sims. Once, around 3 a.m., playing the game, her character was going to a party. And it clicked: Sonia couldn't remember the last time she went to a party. She needed to make some changes, and one was leaving The Examiner. First up was an HR temp job where her mom worked, in Vallejo. Next was a job writing press releases for a real estate company. Then she found work at a printing company in Oakland called PS Print. (Our lives intersected again around this time, but that's another story.) She helped them create a social media presence. Outside of work, Sonia had a blog (which she still has) called The Sonia Show. Check back tomorrow for Part 3 with Sonia. We recorded this episode at Rosamunde in The Mission in January 2026.

U-S Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth claims the joint U-S-Israeli operation has achieved "total dominance" over Iran, even as the Senate prepares a high-stakes vote to limit the President's military powers. NATO is formally condemning Iran's "indiscriminate attacks" on Turkey, moving to bolster air defenses along the alliance's eastern flank in a stern show of support for its ally. Iran's retaliatory strikes are hitting U.S. bases and energy sites across the Persian Gulf, leaving at least seven dead and sparking fears of a full-scale regional war. Iran has postponed the Supreme Leader's funeral and stalled the selection of his successor as the "war situation" and ongoing airstrikes paralyze the regime. Israeli airstrikes and ground advances are intensifying across Lebanon, forcing urgent evacuations in Beirut and leaving at least five dead in the east. National security experts warn that deep budget cuts and a shift in focus to immigration have "hollowed out" key U.S. agencies, leaving the country vulnerable to Iranian terror and cyber attacks. Newfoundland and Labrador reaches deal with Equinor, BP to open the way for development of Bay du Nord offshore oil project.

The story of Sonia Mansfield has roots in The Bay. In this episode, we meet and get to know my friend Sonia. She and I worked together at the Fangs' Examiner back in the mid-2000s, and have been friends since. I loved her presence in the newsroom. I'd often listen to her make us all laugh from her A&E desk across the room. We've been through weddings, births, illness, divorces, and many, many beers together. These days, she hosts the What a Creep podcast, and I'm so glad you get to meet her now. We begin Part 1 with the story of Sonia's parents. Her dad is from Richmond, California, and her mom is from Concord. Her dad eventually moved to Concord, where he went to Mt. Diablo High and dated a girl who turned out to be Sonia's mom's best friend. After her dad got his heart broken by that friend, Sonia's mom jumped right in. They were high school sweethearts who got married right after graduation, and have been together ever since. The young couple had their first kid—Sonia—a couple years later, when they were 21. Another girl came around about three years later, followed by a boy five years after that. Sonia was born and grew up in Concord. She recalls the East Bay town before BART, with plenty of wide-open fields and other undeveloped spaces. She rollerskated a lot (hey, it was the Seventies, after all) at local roller rinks. The Concord Pavilion (now known as Toyota Pavilion at Concord—barf) was where big touring acts played, and Sonia went to her share of concerts there. Her childhood and early adulthood were, in her words, "so Gen X." She and her siblings and their neighborhood friends ran wild, like feral animals. Anyone from this generation, including me, can relate. Looking back as an adult with a kid now, Sonia figures her parents just wanted them out of the house. What's the worst that could happen? The only "surveillance" would be: If the family dog, a Dachshund named Oscar, was sitting outside a nearby house, you could bet that Sonia was inside. He got there by chasing his favorite person while she rode her bike. No leash. Why would you? It was so laissez-faire, in fact, that Sonia says she would walk into strangers' houses. "You're watching cartoons. I like cartoons." Cool. Her sister was always part of her crew, her and other kids from the neighborhood. They also had hella cousins. Sonia's mom is one of eight kids in her family. We go on a little sidebar about all the crazy, dangerous shit we all did as kids. In Texas, there was a certain kind of injury, where some part of your body scraped across cement or asphalt. We called it "getting skinned," and it hurt like hell. But it was just part of the game. The conversation turns to Sonia's earliest days loving TV and movies. She's loved them as long as she remembers, thanks to her dad. He used to love going to theaters to watch movies. Now, he prefers seeing them from the comfort of his own home, but it speaks to his love of the medium. And Sonia says she got that from her old man. Her mom also loves movies, and kept going to theaters longer than her husband. She took her eldest daughter with her almost always. The movies they saw were never age-appropriate, but she got in because she was with her mom. Young Sonia also loved TV Guide, and would read the magazine from front-to-back, word-for-word. She says that before the internet, before Google, her dad would call Sonia and ask her about movies. The TV was always on, something else I relate to (my parents, both in their mid-eighties, still do this). Sonia was an early MTV adopter. Probably because her parents were younger than most, they liked cool music and Sonia heard a lot of it. That whole "walk into neighbors' houses, everyone's my friend" ran head-first into seventh grade, when Sonia learned the hard way that it just can't be true. One day, on the bus she rode every day, one kid started teasing her and then got other kids on the bus to join in. And it happened again the next day. And the next. The torture lasted for months. And it wasn't just the bus—the dude kept up the torment in the classroom. She says that the bullying changed her chemically. She went from open and outgoing to shy and afraid. She started spending more and more time in the school library during lunch. She didn't share her shame with anyone—not friends, not her parents. She internalized it. Part of turning inward for Sonia meant watching more and more TV. She'd go see movies alone. But it's not like she had zero friends. Sonia found her weirdos, the nerds and theater kids, and kept her circle small. She got even more into writing during this time in her life. In middle school, she'd write "really shitty short stories." She asked her parents for and they bought her an electric typewriter. In high school, she took a creative writing class and joined the school paper staff, for whom she wrote movie reviews (duh). Siskel and Ebert were huge influences, and she regularly read the Contra Costa Times' A&E section. When her family would go off on camping/hunting trips and leave Sonia behind because she wasn't into that kinda thing, she'd take the $20 they left her and go rent movies at her local indie video store. She'd browse the aisles and read the backs of every tape. She credits this with why she has so much useless knowledge around movies in her brain all these years later. After she graduated from high school, Sonia got a job at the local movie theater. And at that job, she started making friends with other movie nerds. Because her coworkers were new in her life and not privy to the BS she put up with in middle and high school, she could start fresh with them. And she was getting attention … from boys. Some of the folks she met at that theater job and another that followed have remained lifelong friends, in fact. Sonia was really finding herself as a young adult. We wrap up Part 1 with her decision to stay close to home and go to community college, vs. moving away and going to a four-year school. Check back tomorrow for Part 2.
