Golf, Weather & Other Things Trying to Kill the Game John and Scott kick things off talking about the kind of heat and humidity that makes Florida golf feel like you're playing inside a crockpot. Scott mentions mold — actual mold — growing on courses, because apparently Florida grass has decided to become a biology experiment. Jody Mudd, Mac O'Grady, Greg Maddux… the guys bounce through golf legends and oddballs until Jeff jumps in with a story about Maddux asking him for swing help at a tournament. Because of course Greg Maddux wants to get even better at something. John and Jeff brag (modestly… okay not modestly) about their recent FanDuel wins — Texas, Oklahoma State, Louisville, Ole Miss — basically everything except the teams you bet on. Jeff talks about the charity tournament at Pine Canyon where he ran into half of Major League Baseball and a couple NBA guys. The conversation detours into Indiana basketball history and Gus Johnson yelling things at high volume, because that's what Gus Johnson does. Which Athletes Make the Best Golfers? Jeff lays out his official rankings: Hockey players — apparently if you can slap a frozen rubber disc at 100 mph, you can hit a golf ball. Tennis players — footwork, rotation, anger management… they've got it all. Baseball pitchers — elite sequencing and way too much free time between starts. Jeff shares a story about a pitcher who got better the moment Jeff stopped trying to “fix” him and instead let his swing match his natural throwing motion. Sometimes the best coaching is just getting out of the way. Athlete Psychology: Why They Hate Lessons John brings up his other show, The Approach Shot, and how athletes — even ones with 12 coaches per game — suddenly turn into stubborn toddlers when you suggest a golf lesson. Jeff adds that one pitcher told him he hits golf balls 10 times more often than he throws pitches. And the feel of a good golf swing reminded him of his favorite pitch. That's why pitchers get good fast: reps, reps, reps. Swing Fixes, Hickory Clubs & Louisville Golf Nostalgia Jeff shares a setup tweak that instantly improved a player's swing — just moving the feet and letting the body do what it already knows. John and Scott go down a fun rabbit hole about Louisville Golf, persimmon heads, hickory shafts, and the revival of hickory tournaments. Because nothing says “I love golf” like willingly making the game harder. Grass Talk: Bermuda vs. Paspalum Florida courses are ripping out Bermuda and putting in Paspalum, and Scott explains why that changes everything. Short game on Paspalum? You fly it. Short game on Bermuda? You chip it. Short game on either? Most golfers panic. Jeff points out that players struggle because they try to use the same technique everywhere — and grass does not care about your feelings. Chipping on Difficult Grass Jeff breaks down: The hook chip The slide technique with a gap wedge How to use bounce without digging a trench Scott backs him up with stories from a South Florida seminar where instructors basically said, “Stop trying to be fancy — hit the center of the face.” Fast greens + grabby grass = more people putting from 40 yards out. And honestly, sometimes that's the right call. Leading Edges, Hybrids & Putter Geekery Jeff gets into the weeds (literally) about leading‑edge design: Rounded edges = forgiveness Sharp edges = sadness, especially on Bermuda He talks about modern putters with weight shoved forward and softer edges to help the ball behave. Scott jumps in with the “match the putter to the stroke” sermon, noting that even tour players struggle with putting. Lead tape, grip tweaks, prototype teardrop putters — it's all on the table.

In this Margin Notes episode of the #amwriting podcast, host Jennie Nash talks with book coach and author Stuart Wakefield about approaching marketing as a creative project by making joyful “artifacts” that expand a story world rather than simply asking readers to buy a book. Wakefield shares his creative background, a past period when his creative practice stopped, and how he now immerses himself in projects tied to his latest novel, All Hands on Dick, set in 1956 aboard the cruise ship SS Celestial. Stuart describes the book's comedic, queer, mid-century influences and its characters, explains creating items like a 3D-printed ocean liner and a hand-cut 10-inch vinyl record featuring AI-assisted big band songs, and discusses building an animated music video. Nash also previews upcoming episodes with Wakefield on using the Blueprint method to develop a series, as he launches his trilogy A Gay Odysea.#AmWriting is a reader-supported publication.

Hi, everyone. This is Margin Notes, the part of the podcast where we're talking about the big decisions writers face in their work or creative lives.I'm here today to talk with Stuart Wakefield about making marketing a creative project. And you've heard from Stuart before. He has coached on the podcast, and we'll link to that episode in the show notes. He also will be in episodes to come, which we'll talk about in a moment, and Stuart is a fascinating individual who's had a long career in all kinds of things, including TV writing, playwriting, a long stint in IT.What? [00:01:00] And, and now Stuart works with me at Author Accelerator, and he runs his own book coaching business at thebookcoach.co. Welcome, Stuart.Stuart: Thank you for having me, Jennie. I'm really excited to talk to you today.Jennie: I'm excited too. This is such a, such a interesting topic. So the reason this came up is that Stuart launched a new book, which he'll tell you about in a moment, which is part of a series, which he'll tell you about in a moment, and I started seeing out on social media just all this really fun content that he was producing.And obviously then I would get to talk to him at work, and I- he just would have so much joy, and then he would say, “Oh, let me show you this other thing.” And when I talk about fun content, I'm talking about, like, music videos, cartoons, animated [00:02:00] little shorts. He wrote a song. He, he's writing a music video. He 3D printed a ship.He printed a vinyl record. I mean, it's bonkers. And so I just wanted to dig into this about what are you doing, and why is it creating so much joy, and what can we learn from it? So that's what we're here to talk about.Stuart: Oh, oh, oh. Right. Okay. So, so in, in my creative practice, I have always enjoyed... You know, I started acting when I was five, um, so I've always been in kind of around the theater, even when my kind of IT career and project management career was all kind of going on.So I've always enjoyed that. I, um, started a, a- A degree in fashion design. Um, after a year at art college, I, you know, carried on acting and then had a break in 2003. Uh, if I'm really honest with you, I had a breakdown and- Yeah ... m- [00:03:00] my creative practice just stopped. And about six years later in 2009, I started writing.And you know, I've always been a creative person, and I've always been a storyteller, and I tend, but I tend to do it in a very short, concise way. So the shortest piece of fiction I've sold was 50 words.Jennie: That's short.Stuart: Right. Okay. So I, um- Have had like a, a side art project. It's called The Queer Historian of Emotional Truths.Um, and there is a website that sits with that, and the idea is that the queer historian has found artifacts, um, and he is curating those and sharing those on the website, and they might be voicemails, they might be found photos, found objects. And when I got my... So I really love that kind of very small to- storytelling, those, those really poignant moments, [00:04:00] as opposed to great big, long stories.Um, I recently s- sold a story to Divine Femins- Feminine Publishing as well, um, which is again, it's cozy sci-fi, but it's very much the small kind of human moments.Jennie: Right.Stuart: And I found that after writing this book, I became so invested in the world that I wanted to do small art projects that kind of lived within that world.So that's where this has come from. I, I don't see it as marketing. I see it as telling those smaller stories within that wider world that really convey the joy that not only have I got from writing that, that work, but I think lives on after the reader closes and reads that last, that last page and then closes the book.Jennie: Well, this is why it's so exciting and inspiring to me, because so often when writers talk about marketing or think about marketing, they're thinking [00:05:00] about, “Buy my book. Buy my book. Buy my book,” and that's not at all where you're coming from. I suspect... Well, with this current project, it's, it's brand new, but I suspect that that's where it's gonna go, right?That it's impossible to imagine sh- that you're gonna share all these creative acts and artifacts and not get people... I was gonna say on board, but that's gonna be like- The, it's a- ItStuart: is set follow... It's set on board a, a ocean liner. Right. So on, on board is great.Jennie: Right? Like the, how could those two things not happen?That, I guess what I'm getting at is I, I often think that the results people want don't usually come from the path that they think is gonna get them there. Right. The results come from doing the work you love, writing the story you want, and in your case, making this a creative project. Do you- Yes ... do you think that's [00:06:00] true?Stuart: Yeah. You know, very much so, and I was discussing this with a marketing book coach, uh, Rebecca Grogan.Jennie: Mm-hmm.Stuart: Highly recommend her to any romance writer. So that's beckythebookcoach.com, and, you know, we got talking about creative projects and how much I don't really like marketing. I always thought it was a very British thing not to like marketing, but the more and more US writers I, I meet and fellow coaches, again, you know, marketing can feel like something unsavory.Jennie: RightStuart: And what I really want to do is show people these cool things I've made and invite them very much into the world. Because what I do in any of my creative writing projects, I have objects that represent what I'm writing on my desk. So, um, I have a book that's set in 1907, so I got [00:07:00] artifacts from, from that time.I have a book that's set, well hopefully coming out in a few months, which is, uh, set in Madrid in 1958, and one of the characters works in a print shop. So I have wooden blocks, wooden printing blocks that spell out this character's names. So-Jennie: Oh,Stuart: that'sJennie: so cool.Stuart: So as I switch from project to project, I bring those things and put those onto my desk, and I just find it helps me get into that head space-Jennie: YeahStuart: and that emotional connection.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: So because I still have a, a very strong emotional connection to what it is that I've just published, and I know there are two more books coming, I really wanted to sit and kind of immerse myself in that world. And the first object I created was this 3D printed ocean liner, because that has what has been sitting on my desk while I've been writing this first book.Jennie: So when you say you 3D printed it, how did you go about [00:08:00] that?Stuart: Okay, so I-Jennie: Oh, and, and let's just describe, since people can't see it. It's, it's about like eight inches, 10 inches? Uh, yeah, yeah. So- And it's... Is it made of plastic?Stuart: Yeah. So it's 3D printed, uh, so it's kind of a, a resinous kind of plastic that's- Yeahjust melted as it comes through the head. And yeah, so I found, uh, a model online, and then I... My comput- my computer modeling is not great. It's one of the few things that I'd see that I don't really, you know, have a skill at. So I contacted a friend and said, you know, “Can you modify this for me? Um, can you change the name on the side of the ship?”‘Cause the model that was already there, um, had a different name. And yeah, you know, we, we worked on the look and the feel, and then when we were ready, we found someone else to, to actually print it up. So for me, it's just a lovely object, and I know I'm going to be able to take it to book fairs. There's one coming up at the end of September- So I have little [00:09:00] wooden life rings, we have ship's rope, I have a reception bell.Um, so all of these artifacts, again, when s- if somebody comes to my stand at the book fair, they will be walking into the world of the SS Celestial.Jennie: That's so fun. Okay, so let's, let's talk about the, this, the ship and what happens on the ship and the story and the whole thing, ‘cause it's just too much fun.So it's, um, set in 1956 on a cruise ship. The name of the book is called All Hands on Dick, and it is currently out. So why don't you tell us about first All Hands on Dick, and then the series that it, um, begins?Stuart: Okay. So All Hands on Dick follows cruise director Dick Dockery, and Dick is one of those people that puts the passengers' needs before his own.So, and he is very good at his job But on the voyage from New York to Bermuda, [00:10:00] a slightly seedy kind of underground guy with a reputation called Van Valentine boards the ship. And Van very quickly identifies that what Dick is doing, that he's fulfilling everybody's needs but his own. So throughout a...It's very much a comedy of manners. So throughout that and some farcical moments and lots of beautiful sub-stories, um, Dick eventually learns that being needed is not the same as being loved.Jennie: Very, very, uh, profound message in a very fun setting. So some of the other characters, tell us about some of these other characters.Stuart: Okay. So we have, uh, newlyweds, uh, Buck and Kitty Devereaux. And Buck seems very nervous in his marriage, so one of the kind of mysteries is what is Buck hiding? And then eventually we start to learn that actually Kitty might be hiding some- something as well. We have [00:11:00] Aurelia Cashmere, who is a sort of a, a grande dame, I guess.She, she's first class. Um, she has come on board with a secret that she's going to reveal something when they get to Bermuda. We have, uh, Tony's sidekick, uh, Bunny Marlowe. We have a steward who seems to know everything called Tony Two Towels. We have a light-fingered magician called Pip Larkin. Um, and- ThisJennie: is just so great.And you s-Stuart: And then lounge singer... Sorry, then we have a l- a lounge singer called Rex Devereaux. Uh, and he has a on-off affair with his piano player, Joey Lamplight.Jennie: Okay. So you shared with me that, um, you loved The Love Boat, the, the TV show, right? Oh,Stuart: it's one of my... It, it's just fantastic. And I, I tell you what happened, I love the movie An Affair to Remember-Jennie: Mm-hmmStuart: with Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant. [00:12:00] And you know, I was... My mom loved kind of ‘40s, ‘50s movies. So she kind of introduced me to those when I was growing up, ‘cause I was born in the early ‘70s. So you know, sh- I was kind of weaned on, on movies by watching those. And I loved watching The Love Boat, and more recently...I say recently, it's a few years old now, but the movie Down with Love, uh, with Renee Zellweger.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: And I watched that and it reminded me of the Doris Day, Rock Hudson kind of sex comedies.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: So the vision for All Hands on Dick and the series that it fits into, um, very much came from those, those influences, and the love of, of the, all of those things.Jennie: Well, and it has that, and has that feel. So we'll talk about the whole series in a minute, but some of the other things that you made artifacts that you made, uh, well, there was a song and then there was a record, [00:13:00] and then there was a music video. So how much time have you spent making all these things?Stuart: I, I, I think, I think that wh- what, what happened was, I, I, I'd finished the book and I w- I was, I, something had happened.I think, I think an old Drifters song came up on my, um, Irene's, uh, list, and I'd been listening to... We have a, a TV, um, advert that's on in the UK that, uh, has the song, um, Beyond the Sea.Jennie: Oh, sure, sure.Stuart: It's Bobby... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I was, “Oh, okay.” So I knew that Rex, the lounge singer, one of his storylines is that there's a song that he can't sing.Jennie: Oh.Stuart: It is too emotional for him, and he's desperately trying to get his career back on track and, but there's this one song that he just cannot sing, but it's one of the most powerful songs that could potentially bring his [00:14:00] career back. And I'd been thinking about songs and, you know, again, my mom was just a very, very funny wom- woman and, you know, we would make songs up together.And I wrote some jokey lyrics, uh, called, for a big band number sung by Bunny, called Everybody Needs Dick. And, and, you know, uh, you, the lyrics are, are, you know, a bit silly here and there, but, uh, I just had fun with it.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: You know? So none of this was planned. Um, now I know some people are gonna be really anti-AI, and I, I totally get that, but this was for my personal consumption.So I put those lyrics into an, a, an AI and said like, “Can you write a big band, you know, backing track to go with this?” Just as an experiment, and what came out just really took me by surprise. So-Jennie: It's amazing. I mean, it sounds like a fully produced Andrews Sister song.Stuart: Yes, yes. Love The [00:15:00] Andrews Sisters.Yeah. And then I got thinking about Rex's song, and I thought, “What kind of avoidant thing would Rex sing?” So I wrote some lyrics for that and, um, again, put it into the same AI, AI, and it came out with a couple of versions, and one of them immediately made me start to cry. Oh, no. And I thought, “Okay, if I have an emotional connection to this song, then I need to do something with these tracks.”So I'd been kind of living in the world of the SS Celestial, which is the, the ship that the story is set on, and got to thinking about kind of souvenirs and, and would the ship sell souvenirs, and what kind of things might they sell? And I thought, “Okay, if I'm gonna have an object that's all my own, then as my kind of reward for finishing the book,” I thought, “wouldn't it be great to have a vinyl record?”So then I get into researching how much music can you get on, you know, a seven-inch, a 10-inch, [00:16:00] 12-inch record. Settled on a 10-inch record because, um, Rex's song is six minutes. It won't sit on the seven-inch. Then I had to do my research. You know, were 10-inch singles available in the US in the 1950s? Turns out they still were.Um, then I got to designing the record covers and the labels. I found a company in, uh, the, in London who handcraft. So rather than press a record, they hand-cut it.Jennie: Oh,Stuart: wow. Um, found a company to do that. And yeah, you know, a week later I had in my hands a, a, a 10-inch record, and that is just for my personal consumption, but, you know, I will share that on,um, you know,uh, social media. I will play parts of the record on social media. And yeah, that's where I kind of got to in there, and I just wanted to share with people like, “Oh, look, I made this cool thing.”Jennie: Yeah, yeah.Stuart: And-Jennie: I mean, it's so cool, and [00:17:00] when... We'll share, hopefully, uh, uh, cover a picture of the, um, m- the, uh, record so, in the show notes so people can see.But when, when you share it and talk about it, again, you're just filled with so much joy, like a kid. Yeah. Like, “Look at this.” Yeah. “Look at what I made.” And that has to feel really good, right?Stuart: It, it really, really does. And, and, you know, my family, immediate and wider, are going through some really difficult times at the moment.We started kind of March last year, and, um, I won a, a, a grant from the Arts Council here in the UK to, to really help me kind of zone in on my playwriting.Jennie: Right.Stuart: And a full-length play that I've written is, it's very dark, and it deals with some very dark kind of, uh, themes and issues. And a friend of mine had said to me, she said, “There's something wrong with you.There's, [00:18:00] there's, like, this little light that has gone out.”Jennie: Oh.Stuart: And she said, “I think you should get back to writing comedy.” Um, when I wrote for TV, that was comedy. Um, my last full-length novel, you know, had lots of comedic stuff going on. Um, and she's like, “Why don't you, you consider going back to comedy?”She'd read a lot of my writing when I was doing my master's degree, and she said, “I, I really think you need that, that kind of lift.” So when I was thinking about what to write, I was like, “Okay, I need to do something that, that just really sits with me.” I'm not... You know, writing a novel is a big commitment, and you need to be around people that you kind of really love.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: And I wanted these people to- So many queer stories I think are written from a place of trauma.Jennie: Mm-hmm.Stuart: And I really wanted a group of people who had relatively low stakes threat, but [00:19:00] could really live and breathe in their environment and find joy. And that's exactly as passengers are disembarking at the end of this, this book, that's, you know, there is hope and there is joyJennie: And I imagine that's what you want your reader to feel.Stuart: Um, uh, a- absolutely. I've absolutely written it for people who, you know, to take on a take on a cruise- Right ... or read on the beach. And, you know, I think it's fair to say that, you know, politically and, um, literally the world is on fire, right?Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: Yeah. You know, we're seeing huge fires all over, you know, we're seeing political, just appalling political stuff.And I, and I just thought I, I need this story and I need these people, and I think other people out there need just some fun and some joy and some lightness.Jennie: So tell me about, um, right before we r- started [00:20:00] recording, you said you were almost finished with the music video. Tell me about that.Stuart: Right. Okay. So, uh, Everybody Needs Dick is a huge, joyous, big band number, and I was creating a little short animation to go on, um, social media, and also I wanted the challenge of learning something new from an IT point of view.Jennie: Mm-hmm.Stuart: And it kind of grew, ‘cause I was putting some music to the, the reel on Inst- on Instagram, and I just thought, “Hmm, this could... Like, I really like the results of what I've been able to animate here. Like, maybe this could be something bigger.” And I used to work for Turner Broadcasting Systems, which is now, like, part of Warner Brothers Discovery.Was there for about three years working mainly on the Cartoon network side, and I did some work with the animators of The Amazing World of Gumball, which is a very [00:21:00] popular show, um, in the US, and I kind of thought, like, maybe there's something in this. Maybe I could put all of the Everybody Needs Dick story into, like, an MGM musical number.Jennie: Right.Stuart: And like, so again, it, it captures the look and the feel and the tone of the joy of the book as well. So I'm 40 seconds away from finishing. It takes about an hour to get 14 kind of decent seconds. And I... But I'm, I'm exhausted, but what's keeping me going is watching it over and over again and feeling emotional, feeling that emotional connection to the relationships that are developing, even just through the video i- itself.Jennie: Right. AndStuart: what- So again, for me, it's just immersive.Jennie: What, um... When you approach Something like that, and you, you know, obviously we're all, uh, learning, if any of us listening use AI for [00:22:00] various things, we're all learning as we go d- because it's so new. How do you approach the technology side of it? Like, in addition to the creative part, you have to figure things out, right?Figure out how to do it.Stuart: Yeah. I mean, you know, I spend a lot of time engineering prompts for all different sorts of things. So for my own writing, um, I have a prompt that runs through my chapters and looks at all of the nasty habits that I have.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: And I was talking to another coach the other day, and I was like, “Let me, let me just do a quick word count.”And that search, that, um, AI prompt, is 9,510 words.Jennie: Wow.Stuart: So I might have spent a long time working on that, that prompt, but it really helps me sit back, look at my chapters, really understand what's working and what's not working, and then from my past mistakes and patterns of writing, it helps me see those and that I've fallen back into to some of those [00:23:00] habits.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: So, you know, I, I like to think I'm relatively good. Um, but again, some of the graphics that I was using on Instagram were... They were by real people.Jennie: Yeah.Stuart: And I thought, “Well, that's not really the kind of look I'm after. I'm kind of after that... For the, for the video, I'm after that mid-century American illustrated look that is somewhere between J.C.Leyendecker's illustrations of the sort of ‘20s, and the illustrations that you would expect to see in an American magazine in the mid-'50s.”Outro: Right.Stuart: So I worked and worked and worked, you know, with an AI tool on getting the look right, and then locking that look in. Then I was able to take the images from Instagram and say, “Okay, what would those character models look like if they were in dr- had been drawn in this style?”So again, we worked through those looks, um, you know, how smooth their skin was, what the kind of folds in their clothes should look like. [00:24:00] You know, we did a lot of work on that, and then it was really down to the things that I kind of learned at Warner Brothers and watching the extras on DVDs about storyboarding, um, the animations, and then really teaching myself the best way to use, um, the AI that I was using to get the best kind of effects out of it.And I- So it sound- You know... Hmm.Jennie: It, it sort of sounds like play.Stuart: It is. It really is. And I, you know, I, I love learning. I loved learning to be a book coach. I'm always doing some kind of course, whether it be creative or, you know, to do with writing. And, you know, I like a challenge, and teaching- Yeah ... me this new technology, I mean, I'm 54, and, you know, there's always that risk that the kids are gonna com- going to kind of overtake you.Jennie: Sure. Uh,Stuart: but I'm very curious about the world. You know, I l- I like my K-pop. I'm very excited today ‘cause Hatsize, you know, new EP is out. Um, I've had many a conversation with a 13-year-old who's just shocked that I know anything about K-pop- ... [00:25:00] let alone I'm kind of into different bands. So, you know, I'm interested in, in pop culture and learning new technologies and, you know, it has been a huge, huge challenge for me to do this.But again, it's playing in this world, and I've also noticed as I'm doing these other creative projects, because I'm still mentally in the world, some of the stories for the later books are, are coming to me.Jennie: Yeah. Yeah. So let's talk about the series. At what point did you decide that All Hands on Dick was going to be a series?Stuart: Pretty much from the beginning. I-Jennie: Okay ...Stuart: I, I... So the series is called A Gay Odyssey, and that's- AndJennie: it's, I have to spell it. It's- Yeah ... O-D-Y-S-E-A.Stuart: Yes. So it- it's A Gay Odyssey, and I call it, like, a naughty cal adventure. So- So, you know, I, I very much saw this as the ship as a [00:26:00] container.Jennie: Mm-hmm.Stuart: Okay? Quite literally.Right. But also like a story engine.Jennie: Right.Stuart: So I thought this is, this is a world in miniature, and I wanted to have one overarching love story that covers all three books. But like The Love Boat, I wanted that episodic nature to it as well, because I knew I wanted to bring in different characters and different crew.So A Gay Odyssey is, it's a trilogy of mid-century American queer romantic novels that also examine, uh, the life we live as performance as well as the life we live in private.Jennie: Mm-hmm. So that's where the, the lounge singer and the piano player, the literal- Yeah ... performers and the magician, as well as the just regular people who are performing different roles and things.Ab-Stuart: a- absolutely. You know, Buck is, is performing kind of the dutiful husband, and that's clearly not what's going [00:27:00] under, on under the surface. And, you know, Kitty is very much wanting to go out, you know, understand what's w- I want to say in quotes, “wrong with him.”Jennie: Right.Stuart: And yet Kitty starts to believe that actually she might not entirely be the person she thinks she is.So again, it's, some of it's around self-discovery, um, and some of it is just how you move in the world when the world is telling you you shouldn't be who you are. I mean, it's coming off the back of the Lavender Scare- Mm-hmm ... in the US, um, that Eisenhower signed in 1953 where queerJennie: people-Stuart: I'm not familiar withJennie: that.Stuart: Oh, okay. So I think it was Order 105410or s- or, or something. But Eisenhower signed it, signed it in 1953, and it basically meant that nobody, no gay man or lesbian could work in a federal job.Jennie: Oh, I, I was not aware of that.Stuart: So, you know, thousands and thousands of people were put [00:28:00] out of employment in the US. Wow. So it's coming off the back of that Lavender Scare, um, and it was very much treated like they were a security risk.Jennie: Wow. Um, I'm not gonna get really deep into the series because you and I are gonna do a deep dive on, uh, series development. Um, and for our listeners, Stuart is obviously, um, I would say one of the world's foremost experts on my blueprint method. H- how's that for a title?Stuart: That's very kind of you.Jennie: Um, he teaches it, he coaches it, he holds the high bar for certification that we have at Author Accelerator around the blueprint and other things.But one of the things that he has really done is, is to do a very deep dive on understanding how to use the blueprint [00:29:00] to develop a series, and how you think about one book, how you think about the whole series, the, the order of things, the, the way this tool can be used in this way, and his work on this is, uh, blew me away truly.So I've asked Stuart to come back onto the podcast, and we're going to do a series of two, uh, podcasts, where in one we're gonna talk about the overview of how to use the blueprint to develop a series, and it can be any genre, uh, any- Mm-hmm ... fictional genre, and then we're gonna do a second podcast on ... Now I can't remember what it was, but I think it wasOh, the story engine, and you, and you referenced that with, for your series, the, the ship and, and this container and how to develop a story engine. [00:30:00] And this will also all lead to a special offer to work directly with Stuart on a series, so, um, using the blueprint. So all of that, I'm making all these big promises.I hope they all come true.Stuart: They will. They will.Jennie: Um, all of this is just, uh, laying the groundwork for, for folks who are interested in designing, developing, building a series, and, um, doing it with somebody who has this incredible creative and playful mind, and you can get a sense of the way Stuart thinks and, and works and, um, of the things that he makes.Uh, can you tell us, Stuart, w- if people wanna read All Hands on Deck right now, where can they go? If people wanna find you, and how on earth can they see and hear all this cool stuff you've made? Tell us all the things.Stuart: Okay. [00:31:00] So, uh, in terms of, obviously you can find me at thebookcoach.co. On Instagram, I'm Mr.S Wakefield. Um, so that's where you'll be able to see where I share the cool things that I've made. Um, and then in terms of buying, I mean, all good bookstores. I've already had some, some podcast listeners of mine send me pictures of them holding their, uh, books in, you know, American bookstores, which is fantastic to see.Uh, so yeah, you know, everywhere that you can buy a book. It's not just Amazon, boo, hiss. Um, you know, you should be able to get it in all, all, you know, good, good bookstores.Jennie: Excellent. So, uh, say your, say that Instagram again, just so people can hear.Stuart: Uh, it's Mr. S Wakefield.Jennie: Okay, great. Well, um, we have much more to talk about, and we, and we will be talking about, but this was just so fun to hear your process and this, um, this sense of marketing as a [00:32:00] creative project.And it'll be really fun to follow along and check in with you in our next episodes about where all of this stands as well.Stuart: Great. Thank you.Jennie: Thanks for joining us, Stuart.Stuart: Okay. Take care, Jennie. Bye.Jennie: And for our listeners, thanks for listening.

What would happen if specialty insurance underwriters and risk capital providers could work from the same timely, detailed information? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Jeff Radke, CEO and cofounder of Accelerant, about the infrastructure behind specialty insurance and why his team chose to rebuild it around a data-driven risk exchange. Jeff has spent decades in reinsurance broking, reinsurance underwriting, and specialty insurance across New York, Bermuda, and London. That experience gave him a direct view of a process he describes as expensive, slow, and supported by weak data flows. Jeff explains that Accelerant backs independent underwriting specialists who focus on narrow areas of risk, from pickleball courts to New York brownstones. These teams need the regulatory ability to issue policies and the capital required to support them. Accelerant connects those needs through a shared platform that routes risks to insurance companies and distributes them across a group of capital providers. The economic argument is striking. Jeff says the traditional chain can consume about 40 cents of each premium dollar in expenses and overhead. Accelerant instead seeks portfolio-level solutions across a diverse book of business, reducing repeated negotiations and transfers between intermediaries. He also addresses the tradeoff created by concentrating information in one exchange, including the need to protect data and cash flows when participants depend on a shared platform. Data quality sits at the center of the conversation. Jeff says older policy administration systems often retain only eight to twelve exposure characteristics for each policy, while Accelerant captures over 60 on average. That fuller record gives underwriters and capital providers more information when selecting risk, reviewing performance, or investigating a problem. We also discuss why smaller underwriting organizations may hold an advantage over established insurers. New teams can begin with data at the center of their operating model, while larger companies must change processes built around older systems. Jeff argues that the biggest barrier is often mindset rather than budget. AI has a defined role in that model. Accelerant uses agentic AI to organize varied incoming data, identify products whose performance needs attention, support portfolio construction, and improve internal operations. Jeff draws a firm boundary around responsibility: underwriters remain accountable for underwriting outcomes. His father's advice captures the principle neatly: do not blame the wheelbarrow; responsibility belongs to the person driving it. Could shared data and lower operating expense return more value to policyholders while preserving human judgment? Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts with me.

Weit weg von allem - im Nordatlantik - ragen die Bermudainseln aus türkisblauem Wasser. Als Spitze des Bermudadreiecks weben sich düstere Geschichten um die Inseln. Schiffe und Flugzeuge sollen verschwunden sein, Geister noch über die Inseln schweben. Die Reise nach Bermuda ist gefährlich, raunen Schauergeschichten aus der ganzen Welt. NDR-Reporterin Johanna Honsberg hat die Bermudainseln besucht. Da wo Schiffe angeblich mysteriös verschwinden, ist Johanna einfach surfen gegangen. Sie hat sich als Archäologin auf einer kleinen Insel ausprobiert und war mit einem überzeugten Bermudadreieck-Believer auf der Suche nach Aliens. Vor allem aber hat sie viel gelernt: Über die Bedeutung eines kleinen Wachssiegels und die Angewohnheit, auf den Straßen zu hupen. Über dunklen Rum, pinken Sand und Frösche, die sich wie Vögel anhören. Also, wie “gefährlich” ist's denn jetzt auf den Bermudas?

What happens when you've built the successful career, hit the milestones, created the life everyone tells you that you should want—and yet, deep down, you know something is wrong? In this episode of The Story Engine Podcast, I sit down with Melissa Marina, a subconscious healer and intuitive channel for top entrepreneurs and founders, to explore what happens when high achievers finally stop compromising their deepest desires. Melissa shares the story of graduating with honors, winning entrepreneurship awards, landing a great corporate job, and seemingly doing everything "right"—while privately feeling miserable, coping with wine and cigarettes, and wondering why success wasn't making her happy. We dive into the patterns that keep ambitious people stuck, including people-pleasing, limiting beliefs, unsupportive relationships, old identities, and the pressure to pursue goals that no longer feel meaningful. Melissa walks me through her Release, Reveal, Rise framework for clearing the patterns holding you back, reconnecting with your deeper purpose, and building a new identity and lifestyle around what you actually want. We also explore one of the most powerful themes of the conversation: sometimes what looks like a business or money problem is actually connected to your relationships, your identity, or the life you've been afraid to ask for. This episode is ultimately about something much bigger than making more money—it's about creating a life where success, fulfillment, family, freedom, and purpose can actually coexist. Highlights (01:42) – Why stepping away from business during motherhood became a massive accelerator Melissa explains how maternity leave unexpectedly gave her more clarity, energy, and focus—and why removing the "shoulds" from her business actually created more growth and income. (04:13) – The hidden cost of building a life that looks successful but doesn't fulfill you We explore how different seasons of life require different priorities and why performative work can quietly drain your energy. (04:58) – The high achievers who secretly feel like something is missing Melissa breaks down the types of founders and executives she works with—and the "wild, outrageous dreams" they often suppress because they have families, teams, mortgages, and responsibilities depending on them. (06:31) – How people-pleasing and relationships can become invisible ceilings We uncover how the desire to keep everyone happy can prevent ambitious people from pursuing their next level—and how a partner's lack of alignment can become a powerful hidden block. (08:51) – The Release, Reveal, Rise framework Melissa introduces the three-stage process she uses to help clients identify recurring patterns, reconnect with their purpose, and create a new identity aligned with their future. (10:52) – What has to be cleared before you can actually find clarity We talk about releasing old career paths, business decisions, identities, and "masks" that may still be taking up space—even when they no longer belong in your life. (12:30) – Designing a life where your business supports your life—not the other way around Melissa explains how the "Reveal" stage helps clients design their ideal next chapter around family, travel, relationships, spirituality, wealth, fulfillment, and the rhythms that genuinely work for them. (14:04) – The identity shift that makes your future self possible Melissa explains the "Rise" phase and how raising your minimum standards, changing your self-concept, and creating new boundaries can help you stop reverting to the person you've outgrown. (15:54) – "I did everything right"—and still hated my life Melissa takes us back to her early twenties in Bermuda, when she had the grades, awards, career, relationship, and accomplishments—but realized she had forgotten herself along the way. (18:30) – The moment Melissa realized achievement wasn't the answer She shares the profound realization that doing everything society expected of her had not created happiness—and that she had been following the formula for success while losing herself in the process. (19:47) – What changed when success stopped being about hustle Melissa describes her transition from a "hustle era" to a season of choosing, where she could focus on speaking, facilitating transformations, and the work that genuinely makes her lose track of time. (21:15) – Finding a partner who amplifies your ambitions instead of limiting them We explore how Melissa's current relationship has allowed her to pursue international speaking, travel, and a bigger vision for her family without having to choose between motherhood and her purpose. (22:14) – The terrifying conversation that changed her relationship Melissa shares the defining moment when she had to tell her partner that traveling the world and speaking was part of the life she wanted—and why refusing to compromise on that desire ultimately deepened their relationship. (25:49) – The story behind the story: when success looks right but your life feels completely wrong I help Melissa turn her experience in Bermuda into a powerful story about dissatisfaction, playing small, discovering purpose, and ultimately creating a life aligned with what she truly wanted. (33:14) – The surprising connection between money problems and relationships We uncover why the "money block" or business ceiling clients think they're facing can actually be connected to their relationships—and how recognizing that connection can create a major breakthrough. (34:00) – Discovering what your current life is really costing you Melissa explains her "Destiny Opportunity Audit" and how looking at missed opportunities, lost time, and potential income can reveal the real cost of remaining stuck.
Disney Cruise Line is returning to New York in 2027, with the Disney Wish sailing seven voyages from the city between September 29 and November 5 to Bermuda, Canada and New England, and one-way to San Juan, alongside maiden Panama Canal calls at Fuerte Amador and Colon. A new study from advertising intelligence company Verve finds that 91 percent of U.S. consumers using AI tools research only one cruise brand, with the average shopper considering 1.12 cruise lines, Royal Caribbean drawing 37.1 percent of branded search activity, and price and value guiding 60 percent of consumers. And Ulyssia Residences, chaired by Frank Binder, has signed a letter of intent worth up to 1.5 billion dollars with China Merchants to build a 323-meter residential yacht carrying 122 residences and 22 guest suites, with a planned 2031 launch.
What if your podiatry degree could give you more than a career? What if it could give you a completely different life? Australian podiatrist Jason McAninly decided to find out.Jason left Melbourne to live and work in Bermuda for Bermuda Podiatry, and what started as an overseas job opportunity has turned into something much bigger. He's become part of the local community, played cricket, travelled regularly to New York and Europe, attended international conferences, built new professional connections and discovered opportunities that simply wouldn't have appeared if he'd stayed home.And here's the interesting part: Bermuda wasn't even the original plan.In this episode, Jason and I talk about what it's really like to pack up your podiatry career and take it overseas. We discuss the realities of working as a podiatrist in Bermuda, the differences in healthcare, the cost of living, the lifestyle, the surprisingly strong similarities between Bermudian and Australian culture, and why working overseas has been one of the best decisions Jason has ever made.We also get into something much bigger than Bermuda.How many podiatrists are limiting their careers simply because they're afraid to leave what's familiar?Your podiatry degree doesn't have to lock you into one clinic, one town or even one country. There are opportunities for podiatrists all over the world, and sometimes saying yes to something unexpected can introduce you to people, places and possibilities you never knew existed.Jason's experience is also a great lesson in becoming part of the community instead of simply living in it. From cricket and community events to a 40-kilometre fundraising walk across Bermuda, he hasn't just moved overseas for work. He's built a life there.We also talk about:Why Jason originally wanted to work overseas and how Bermuda eventually appeared on his radarWhat podiatry is really like in Bermuda compared with AustraliaWhy podiatrists in Bermuda need to become more of a clinical “one-stop shop”The opportunities an Australian podiatry qualification can create internationallyWhy Jason believes working overseas is a no-brainer if the right opportunity comes alongWhy community involvement transformed Jason's experience of BermudaHow international conferences and travel have expanded his professional networkWhy sometimes the best career decision starts with saying, “Why the hell not?”If you've ever wondered what it would be like to work overseas, you're early in your podiatry career, you're feeling stuck where you are, or you simply need a reminder of how many possibilities your qualification can create, this episode might have you looking at a world map very differently.Your podiatry degree isn't just a qualification. It could also be your passport to the world.If you'd like to learn more about working in Bermuda, please reach out to Bermuda Podiatry.For additional show notes, please visit the Podiatry Legends Podcast WebsiteConnect With MeIf you'd like to learn more about being a guest on the show, having a fully sponsored episode or simply sponsoring the podcast, my best email address is tyson@podiatrylegends.com.And if you've enjoyed this episode, I'd really appreciate it if you left a review on your favourite podcast platform.

Carlos compara os números das pesquisas de agora com os dados da eleição de 2022 e analisa os efeitos dos palanques estaduais formados por Lula e Flávio Bolsonaro.

On this episode of the Insurance Coffee House, Nick Hoadley is joined by Kirk Southern, Group Chief People Officer at Howden, a global insurance group with around 26,000 employees across 57 countries.Kirk shares his career journey from recruitment into HR, beginning with an administrative role during the financial crisis before moving into HR at Royal Bank of Canada. He reflects on the importance of early sponsorship, the value of learning directly from the business, and how roles at Citadel, Barclays and Arrow Global helped him build experience across business partnering, commercial management and reward before joining Howden in 2022.The conversation explores Kirk's transition from Global Head of Reward, Benefits and Wellbeing into the Group Chief People Officer role, and what it means to lead the people function within a rapidly growing, founder-led insurance business. Kirk explains why one of his biggest priorities is protecting Howden's culture while continuing to bring in talent that is comfortable with autonomy, ambiguity and taking responsibility for building and growing the business.Nick and Kirk discuss how the role of the Chief People Officer is changing. Kirk argues that CPOs and CHROs are increasingly expected to operate as commercial advisers to CEOs, boards and investors, with a clear understanding of how people decisions connect to growth, revenue, profitability and long-term value creation. He reflects on why commercial acumen, data and organisational design are becoming increasingly important capabilities within the profession.The discussion also looks at Kirk's relationship with Howden founder and CEO David Howden. Kirk shares what he has learned from working closely with a founder-led leadership team and why having a genuine voice in strategic conversations matters. He discusses some of the questions senior leadership teams are considering around workforce planning, culture, organisational design and how businesses remain flexible as technology and the world of work continue to develop.Nick and Kirk also explore how Howden is approaching technology across a large and growing organisation. Kirk explains how curiosity and experimentation are already part of the culture, making the challenge less about encouraging adoption and more about prioritising the opportunities that can create meaningful value. He discusses the importance of balancing experimentation with governance, understanding the implications for organisational design and skills, and keeping people at the centre of those decisions.The conversation then turns to the relationship between the people function and the board. Kirk explains why HR leaders need to move beyond professional terminology and understand how the business actually makes money. For him, combining strong people expertise with commercial understanding is one of the clearest differences between being an HR specialist and operating effectively at CPO or CHRO level.Kirk closes with advice for HR professionals who aspire to reach senior leadership. He emphasises patience, humility and the importance of building experience over time. He encourages people to remain ambitious while recognising that judgment develops through experience, mistakes and exposure to different business situations.Connect with Kirk Southern on LinkedIn to follow his work across people leadership, organisational strategy, culture and talent at Howden.The Insurance Coffee House Podcast is brought to you by Insurance Search.We are a global Insurance Executive Search Consultancy, supporting Insurance and Insurtech businesses to attract and retain the very best insurance talent.Find out more about showcasing your employer brand as a guest on the Insurance Coffee House Podcast or sign up to our News and Insights.Or follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram.Insurance Executive Search Consultants in USA, London and Bermuda.Copyright Insurance Search 2025 - All Rights Reserved.

En esta edición de 'Políticos en Bermudas', Pablo Tallón conversa y conoce la faceta más personal de Borja Sémper: sus veranos de infancia, su familia, su pasión por la música y la poesía o su vocación frustrada por la arquitectura.Sémper también recuerda los años más duros de su juventud en Euskadi: su entrada en política con 17 años, la amenaza de ETA, los 17 años que vivió escoltado y el impacto que tuvo en su familia la violencia terrorista. Habla del asesinato de Miguel Ángel Blanco, del perdón y de por qué considera que “un rival no es un enemigo”. Además, cuenta cómo vivió el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de un cáncer de páncreas, qué le ha enseñado la enfermedad y por qué decidió hablar públicamente de ella.

Trey and Brandon break down a New Jersey ruling that's putting the D&O "capacity exclusion" back in the spotlight — what happens when a board member accused of wrongdoing sits on multiple boards, and why insurers can deny coverage if the alleged conduct ties back to a different company. They also cover a reinsurance 101 for producers: what reinsurance actually is, the difference between treaty and facultative coverage, who the major players are (Munich Re, Swiss Re, Lloyd's, the Bermuda market), and why retail brokers should care about reinsurance pricing even though they never touch that market directly......Resources & Links:

Today's brief covers three stories. A 76-year-old American guest sailing aboard Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Jewel died after becoming unresponsive while snorkeling at Ely's Harbour in Bermuda's Sandys Parish on Sunday, June 14; the Bermuda Police Service said foul play is not suspected and attributed the death to a pre-existing medical condition. Holland America Line has opened Rotterdam's 2027 Mediterranean program, five 10- and 11-day cruises plus a 14-day Barcelona-to-Fort Lauderdale transatlantic crossing running October 17 through December 8, 2027, with calls ranging from Lisbon and Palma de Mallorca to overnights in Istanbul and Haifa. And CLIA's 2025 Environmental Technologies and Practices Report details the industry's push toward net-zero emissions by 2050, noting that fewer than 3% of cruise ports worldwide currently offer shore power, that 120 cruise ships are equipped to connect today, and that 239 ships, nearly 80% of the fleet, are expected to be shore-power ready by 2028.

Jack Higgins visits Churchill Downs for an on-site conversation with Track Superintendent Jamie Richardson about the unique challenges of managing one of horse racing's most demanding turf surfaces. Jamie explains how the track transitions from cool-season grasses to Ironcutter Bermudagrass during the summer, using the strength of the Bermuda root system to build a more stable, resilient racing surface focused on horse safety and performance.Jamie also discusses the evolution of the sand-based turf course, which was rebuilt in 2021, and how sprigging, DryJect, organic matter management, drainage, aerification, and fertility have helped improve the track year after year. The results are showing: Churchill Downs ran 108 turf races during the spring meet, and the course performed exceptionally well even following heavy rainfall.The conversation also looks at Jamie's EarthWorks fertility program, including Myco-Replenish 3-3-3, Replenish 8-2-2, Replenish 5-4-5 and C3, with a major emphasis on building roots, maintaining stability, replenishing nutrients in the sand profile, and supporting turf recovery under heavy traffic.After the Churchill Downs interview, Jack shifts to late-summer turf management and discusses why August is an important time for recovery, aerification, overseeding, carbohydrate storage and preparing both warm- and cool-season turf for the months ahead.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ EW Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/

On this episode of the Insurance Coffee House, Nick Hoadley is joined by Tracy Letzerich, Chief People Officer at Hippo Insurance. With a career spanning consulting, technology, organisational design, and people leadership, Tracy shares how an unconventional path into HR has shaped her approach to building high-performing organisations. Tracy reflects on her early career in technology consulting, where she worked on large-scale business transformation programmes before becoming fascinated by a recurring question: why do some transformations succeed while others fail? That curiosity led her away from software implementation and towards organisational design, leadership, and the people side of change.The conversation explores Hippo's evolution from an insurtech startup into a profitable, publicly traded insurance company. Tracy explains how the business has maintained many of the characteristics of an early-stage technology company, including rapid decision-making, strong cross-functional collaboration, and a culture built around innovation, while developing the operational discipline required of a modern insurer.Nick and Tracy discuss the relationship between technology and culture, and how Hippo has created close partnerships between engineering, product, and insurance teams. Rather than technology operating separately from the business, Tracy explains how technical teams are involved in solving insurance challenges from the outset, creating a collaborative approach that has become a defining part of Hippo's culture.A significant part of the discussion focuses on workforce enablement through technology. Tracy shares how Hippo approached organisation-wide adoption by giving every employee access to AI tools, encouraging experimentation, measuring adoption, and creating opportunities for technical and non-technical teams to learn together. She explains why creating capacity is ultimately about giving people more time to focus on strategic, high-value work rather than repetitive manual tasks.The conversation also explores leadership, hiring, and organisational growth. Tracy shares her perspective on building high-performing teams, maintaining culture as organisations scale, and why behavioural interviewing, curiosity, and cultural alignment are just as important as technical expertise. She also explains why leaders should focus on helping employees spend more time doing work that energises them.Nick and Tracy close with practical advice for leaders navigating change. Tracy encourages organisations to embrace curiosity, move before every answer is known, and create environments where learning is expected rather than feared. She also shares advice for candidates and leaders alike: know what matters to you, ask thoughtful questions, and don't try to become someone you think others want you to be.Connect with Tracy Letzerich on LinkedIn to follow her work across people leadership, organisational design, leadership development, and technology-enabled transformation.The Insurance Coffee House Podcast is brought to you by Insurance Search.We are a global Insurance Executive Search Consultancy, supporting Insurance and Insurtech businesses to attract and retain the very best insurance talent.Find out more about showcasing your employer brand as a guest on the Insurance Coffee House Podcast or sign up to our News and Insights.Or follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram.Insurance Executive Search Consultants in USA, London and Bermuda.Copyright Insurance Search 2025 - All Rights Reserved.

In this late-night episode, Walter Sterling and his "Midnight Misfits" unpack their lingering Covid-19 grievances, taking aim at Dr. Fauci's recent Senate hearings, mask mandates, and the controversial use of remdesivir and ventilators. Walter shares his own medical saga, claiming that the Covid vaccine gave him temporary "pharmaceutically induced Parkinson's" and made all food except plain oranges and unadulterated steak taste like rotting garbage. Plus, New Mexico broadcaster Eddie Aragon drops in to unravel a wild conspiracy theory involving Gene Hackman's Santa Fe estate, a tragic hantavirus outbreak, and alleged secret Illuminati tunnels hidden beneath his house. Throw in callers sharing quarantine horror stories, political rants, and one incredibly generous listener offering to fund Walter's vacation to Bermuda on his credit card, and you have a classic, chaotic hour of talk radio.

He has spent the past 25 years speaking to audiences in all 50 states, on over 1000 college and high school campuses, at hundreds of professional and academic conferences, and to community groups across the nation. He has also lectured internationally in Canada and Bermuda, and has trained corporate, government, law enforcement and medical industry professionals on methods for dismantling racism in their institutions. Wise's antiracism work traces back to his days as a college activist in the 1980s, fighting for divestment from (and economic sanctions against) apartheid South Africa. After graduation, he threw himself into social justice efforts full-time, as a Youth Coordinator and Associate Director of the Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism: the largest of the many groups organized in the early 1990s to defeat the political candidacies of white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. From there, he became a community organizer in New Orleans' public housing, and a policy analyst for a children's advocacy group focused on combatting poverty and economic inequity. He has served as an adjunct professor at the Smith College School of Social Work, in Northampton, MA., and from 1999-2003 was an advisor to the Fisk University Race Relations Institute in Nashville, TN.
