In this episode, we follow her extraordinary journey—from a childhood fascination with nature in wartime England to the groundbreaking discoveries she made in Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park. Learn how Jane's patience and empathy shattered scientific norms when she observed chimpanzees using tools, proving humanity's deep connection to the animal world. We'll explore her lifelong mission to protect wildlife, her transition from researcher to global advocate, and the legacy she continues to build through the Jane Goodall Institute and her Roots & Shoots program.

Future President Abraham Lincoln had yet to grow his iconic facial fuzz when he received a letter from Grace Bedell - an 11 year-old resident of Westfield, New York - dated 15th October, 1860.  “I have yet got four brothers... and if you let your whiskers grow I will try and get the rest of them to vote for you you would look a great deal better for your face is so thin”, she wrote. “All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their husbands to vote for you and then you would be President.” When Lincoln returned to Westfield (having just been elected), he had grown a beard - and thanked Bedell personally for the suggestion. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how jibes about Lincoln's appearance had become part of his Presidential campaign; explain the origin of ‘sideburns'; and uncover the surprising story of how Lincoln's beard lead to the creation of MB Games… (Plus, for our supporters on Patreon* and our paid subscribers on Apple Podcasts, we discuss the SECOND letter Grace Bedell wrote to Lincoln in 1864, requesting his help gaining a job with the Treasury so that she could financially support her parents.

This is top tier songwriting for me. When you have a platform and you can take a risk by punching up at people who have power, I think it's good to do it now and again. If you can take that polemic and wrap it in a powerful, simple, stomping track like Joe, then I'm all in. There's a theatrical element to the song that you could easily imagine fitting a full broadway production. You could see the lights strobe out on those relentless kicks, while Joe, with crooked yellowing teeth and a Fagin-esque grotesqueness, is lit from beneath in red as he slobbers and snarls his way through his commercial wet dream. Joe isn't just a great track, it's one of the songs that glues this entire album together. With no villains, there can be no heroes - and we will get a hero late in the piece - so Joe is the essential leviathan lurking in the shadows of the story.Check out the song here : https://youtu.be/KBqPLw_6XD8Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectTwitter: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcast Network : https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.appThe theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making headlines again as he signals a potential return to music and expands his business interests. According to The News, just days ago Justin posted an open call for music collaborations on his Instagram Story, asking fellow creatives in Los Angeles to DM him if they want to make music. This invitation, sent to his nearly 300 million followers, immediately sparked a storm of speculation in the industry and among fans about whether a new album or major project is in the works. While neither a release date nor collaborators have been confirmed, the authenticity of the invite and Justin's direct involvement strongly suggest something significant is brewing. Supporting these rumors, Ary News and Daily Times both report that he is anticipated to perform at Coachella 2026, an event that sold out instantly, further hinting at a high-profile comeback.On the personal front, Justin and Hailey Bieber have been embracing family life. The couple recently shared intimate moments from a winter getaway in Canada on social media, featuring cozy images in front of snowy mountain vistas. This comes shortly after celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary and the first birthday of their son, Jack Blues Bieber, who was born in August 2024. Hailey, meanwhile, made business news with her $1 billion sale of Rhode to e.l.f Beauty, as reported in Reality Tea. She stated in a WSJ magazine interview her intention to invest the money wisely for Jack's future, reflecting a deepened focus on family and maturity. Hailey continues in her role with Rhode as a strategic adviser, emphasizing she never intended to be a hands-off founder.Justin has also been teasing a pivot back into fashion, this time under a new label called SKYLRK. As covered by AOL, he has previewed sweatshirts, beanies, phone cases, and bold platform sandals on Instagram under the new brand's handle, though the official launch date remains under wraps. There's particular intrigue here because some fans have pointed out similarities between his product designs and items by Rhode, Hailey's company, suggesting the Biebers are subtly building a shared style empire.While no new music has officially dropped, no live public appearances have been made in the last week, and there is no hard evidence of business drama, the combined effect of Justin's renewed creative outreach and pivot to new business ventures marks a potential turning point in his career. The possibility of new music, a Coachella return, and a new fashion label could all signal the next chapter for one of pop's most watched personalities.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Fans of Justin Bieber have had plenty to talk about this past week with news and buzz surrounding both his professional ventures and personal life. Most notably Justin is gearing up for a return to the fashion world teasing his new apparel and accessories brand called SKYLRK. Throughout the past few days he has taken to Instagram to share photos of items such as sweatshirts beanies bold colored sunglasses phone cases and even platform slide sandals all branded with the SKYLRK logo according to AOL. Curiously some followers called attention to the fact that his blue phone case looks a lot like The Lip Case from Rhode the beauty label run by Justin's wife Hailey Bieber but Justin seems unbothered by any crossover. He also tagged SKYLRK's Instagram in his bio and though the brand page is still empty it has already begun to attract attention from fans eager for its official launch. The fashion move is significant not only because Justin's last clothing project Drew House earned cult status but also because the singer appears to be winding down activity with Drew finally passing the creative torch.Speaking of Hailey the Biebers made major headlines after her brand Rhode was acquired by beauty juggernaut e.l.f. Cosmetics for an eye-popping $1 billion according to an exclusive from People Magazine and confirmed by the Los Angeles Business Journal. Sources close to Justin told People that he is “beyond proud” of Hailey's achievement and has been supportive from day one watching firsthand as she built Rhode from scratch. He later shared a screenshot of her announcement on his Instagram stories which Hailey responded to with a heart emoji making their mutual support highly visible to their massive audiences. This merger not only cements Hailey as one of the beauty industry's new power players but also puts the Bieber name back in the business spotlight.As for public appearances there have not been major red carpet or concert events involving Justin himself in the past week and rumors of new music remain unconfirmed. Speculation swirled online about possible collaborations after his posts about fashion and fans remain hopeful for another album but there is no official word from his team or any trade publications. On social media Justin remains active mostly in support of Hailey's big Rhode deal and teasing SKYLRK content to his forty million plus Instagram followers sending both brand and relationship gossip into overdrive. For now all eyes remain on the official launch details for SKYLRK and any hint of Justin's next musical move while the Biebers enjoy one of their biggest business weeks yet.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's past few days have been a whirlwind, marked by high-profile public appearances, ambitious business moves, family drama, and a wave of social media chatter. In Los Angeles, Justin was spotted courtside at a basketball game for The League, drawing attention with what Telegrafi described as a messy look that barely disguised his extensive tattoos and streetwear from his own emerging fashion brand, SKYLRK. Arriving by SUV, he kept fans and paparazzi at a distance, a move that comes amidst recent scrutiny over a controversial interaction with his mother. Two weeks ago, after his mom posted a lengthy prayer for his healing and protection, Justin replied on social media with a post many interpreted as cool, sparking fan concern and extensive online debate. Daily Mail and Telegraph noted this mother-son dynamic became one of the bigger gossip points this week, but the consensus among fans is the drama is little more than family prayer writ large on social media.Businesswise, this is a defining week for Bieber. Reports from outlets like AOL and PEOPLE confirm he is on the cusp of launching SKYLRK, his new fashion line, after quietly stepping back from promoting his older Drew House brand. Bieber has been actively teasing SKYLRK on Instagram, sharing previews of sweatshirts, eye-catching accessories, and even platform sandals. The account's following is growing even though it has not posted any official content yet. Fans have noticed certain accessories—like a phone case—closely resemble items from his wife Hailey Bieber's recently acquired Rhode beauty brand, fueling further social media speculation and playful rivalry within the Bieber household.Hailey herself is having a headline-grabbing moment. Her Rhode brand was just acquired by e.l.f. Cosmetics for a staggering $1 billion, a deal that placed her squarely among the most successful new beauty moguls. PEOPLE reported that Justin is, in private, “beyond proud” and publicly shared her Instagram announcement post to his millions of followers, though he kept his own words minimal and let the moment be hers.On the career front, Telegraph and multiple news sites announced that Bieber is officially staging a comeback: his latest album "Swag" just dropped and he is confirmed as the headliner for Coachella 2026, locking in a record-breaking $10 million deal. Insiders say the upcoming performance marks the start of a new era for the pop star—a claim that, based on his reemergence and industry buzz, carries genuine long-term significance. As social media keeps humming over his every move, the headlines say it all: Justin Bieber is back in the cultural driver's seat, style mess and all, and the next chapter may be his boldest yet.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.If you're tuning in for a “Mr. Beast Biography Flash,” the past few days have been anything but quiet for the king of YouTube, Jimmy Donaldson—better known as MrBeast. The biggest headline, per TechCrunch, Fortune, and Futurism, is MrBeast's very public anxiety about the rise of AI-generated video content, especially after OpenAI launched Sora 2, a social app that lets anyone create photorealistic short-form clips with just a text prompt. Over the weekend, MrBeast tweeted—and I quote—“When AI videos are just as good as normal videos, I wonder what that will do to YouTube and how it will impact the millions of creators currently making content for a living…scary times.” That post quickly racked up millions of views, and the sentiment rippled across the creator economy, with fellow YouTubers and fans alike debating whether AI slop—low-quality, AI-generated content—could flood the platform and make it even harder for human creators to stand out, according to Business Insider and Entrepreneur.Notably, MrBeast has skin in the game here beyond just words. Just this summer, he released—and then quickly pulled—an AI tool for generating YouTube thumbnails after a fierce backlash from fans and fellow creators who accused him of undermining human artists, as reported by TechCrunch and Futurism. He responded by taking down the feature and instead directing users to commission work from actual artists, telling fans, “I care more than any of you could ever imagine about the YouTube community. It deeply makes me sad when I do something that people in the community are upset by,” as quoted by Business Insider. The episode is a revealing look at how even the platform's top creator is wrestling with the ethics and economics of AI, and how quickly fan sentiment can turn.On the business front, Bloomberg Businessweek's recent cover story, discussed on their podcast this week, reveals MrBeast's company is now valued at a staggering $5.2 billion, but it's reportedly hemorrhaging money—raising questions about sustainability and whether his team can professionalize operations without losing the chaotic, fan-first magic that built the empire. MrBeast himself is said to still call the shots, but he's bringing in more seasoned executives, signaling a new phase for Beast, Inc.As for personal nostalgia, MrBeast revisited a decade-old video this week where his 17-year-old self laid out big dreams—a moment covered by local Charlotte outlet WCCB and echoed in social media posts. Back then, he had 8,000 subscribers; today, he's at over 443 million, making him the most-subscribed individual creator in the world, according to multiple Instagram accounts and Unilad Tech.Now, for those hoping for a dramatic recent scandal or red-carpet appearance, there's nothing confirmed in the past 24 hours beyond ongoing reverberations from his AI comments and the businessweek spotlight. No major new videos, partnerships, or public appearances have hit the wires—just the relentless hum of a creator so big his worries become the industry's worries overnight.Thank you for joining this “Mr. Beast Biography Flash.” For more rapid-fire profiles of your favorite icons, search “Biography Flash” wherever you get your podcasts, and don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an update on MrBeast's next world-beating—or world-worrying—move.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/4mMClBvThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Tom is hugely proud of this song. In Conversations with Tom Petty, he tells author Paul Zollo, “Dreamville” is one of the best songs I ever wrote. That was about innocence.” And it's this innocence that contrasts so starkly and so effectively with the corporate interference in The Last DJ, or the commodification of Johnny's art in Money Becomes King. Without this contrast the more belligerent songs the album could easily take on a petulant tone but in Dreamville, Tom gives us that fleeting Utopian vision to measure cultural decline against. It gives us a baseline and a starting point in one melodic flashback scene, before we're dragged back forward in time to devastating effect in track four.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has just reemerged in a major way after a relatively quiet period and the past few days have seen a swirl of headlines and speculation about both his business and personal life. According to multiple outlets including People and RTÉ, Bieber surprised fans by filming an impromptu music video in Dundee, Scotland for his new single Bad Honey. The video, which captures him wandering around an empty local pub called Abandon Ship while drinking beer and reflecting alongside a mirror with the phrase Not everything sucks, has already racked up over 120,000 likes on his Instagram. The surprise drop is part of Bieber's broader return to music following a four year break. Bad Honey is from his latest album Swag II, which along with its prequel Swag, signals not just new music but reportedly a new era for Bieber in terms of style and tone. The video was shot by his longtime collaborator Rory Kramer, with the two reportedly editing it together on a flight home from Scotland. Local bar staff in Dundee described Bieber as kind and down to earth, taking time to chat with employees and guests before filming.Meanwhile, there is major business news. People reports that Bieber and his former manager Scooter Braun have reached a $31.5 million settlement to resolve a financial dispute connected to concert advances and unpaid commissions. This resolves issues stemming from Bieber's 2022 Justice tour and the massive $200 million sale of his music catalog in late 2022, a move initially speculated—per a May 2025 documentary—to be motivated by financial strain after tour cancellations. While neither Bieber nor his representatives have commented directly on this, the financial settlement could mark an inflection point in his business dealings, especially as he moves forward with his seventh album Swag and his new fashion brand SKYLRK, both announced alongside news of his settlement.Bieber has also been photographed enjoying downtime in Scotland, golfing at iconic courses like St Andrews. On social media, there's been buzz both for and against his new material, with Perez Hilton on YouTube describing the new music video as both a bop and cringe-inducing, fueling further debate about Bieber's current state and direction. There is fan interest in his evolving relationship with wife Hailey Bieber after recent reports in People highlighted ongoing challenges but insisted they remain committed to each other, calling each other soulmates. Overall, this week marks Justin Bieber's most significant public and career resurgence this year, set against the backdrop of major personal milestones and business resets.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's last several days have been a whirlwind of public delight, surprise business moves, and the kind of headline-grabbing escapades that have kept him in the pop culture conversation for more than a decade. According to The Scotsman and The Mirror, Bieber descended on Scotland at the start of October for the Dunhill Links golf tournament in St Andrews but promptly made the trip an event in itself. The sight of one of the world's biggest superstars dancing with fans in Dundee pubs and posing for photos in a woolly hat, pint in one hand and smile on his face, quickly went viral. Social media was peppered with videos and comments from stunned locals: “Spending my Saturday night with Justin Bieber in Dundee was not on my 2025 bingo card” became the viral sentiment of the hour. Fans and pub staff alike agreed—he wasn't posturing as a global superstar, he was genuinely vibing with everyday Scots. Chelsey McQuillan's TikTok showing him dancing at Abandon Ship bar racked up hundreds of thousands of views, while Instagram documentation of his golf outings, windswept hair, and sunset beer runs only fueled the “Justin goes native” narrative.But this was not just about fun and alcohol. According to The Mirror and RTE News, he filmed and rapidly dropped an impromptu music video for his new single “Bad Honey” at Abandon Ship—directed by his longtime creative partner Rory Kramer—a project praised both for its spontaneous energy and for its local flavor. Absent from this Scottish adventure was his wife Hailey, who has been busy making headlines of her own after selling her Rhode beauty line for a reported $1 billion; Forbes pegs her personal net worth at around $300 million. Bieber, meanwhile, seemed content to focus on his art, his friends, his fans, and the moment.The week also brought milestone business news; People and TMZ confirmed that Bieber and his former manager Scooter Braun reached a $31.5 million financial settlement after a protracted dispute involving commissions, debts, and the fallout from Bieber's canceled Justice tour. This ties up a chapter that included Bieber's headline-making $200 million music catalog sale in 2022 and the end of his professional relationship with Braun after more than fifteen years together. The split is notable—Braun was key to Bieber's early supernova rise, but told host Steven Bartlett that “there comes a point where he probably wants to go on and show that he can do it”—and so far, Bieber seems to be thriving creatively on his own. Press Association confirms his musical return this year with two new albums, Swag and Swag II, his first full-length releases in four years.The pop icon also landed headline billing at Coachella 2025, which was just made official by organizers this week. Bieber will headline alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G in what is billed as the most diverse and star-packed lineup in years.His current social media output radiates happiness, camaraderie, and freedom, suggesting that, after a turbulent few years both personally and professionally, Bieber is settling comfortably into a new—and possibly much more sustainable—chapter of superstardom. There have been speculative reports about past financial worries prompting his catalog sale, and some sources hint at personal struggles, but the dominant headline is clear: in pubs, on the links, atop the world's biggest festival stages, Justin Bieber is showing the world that his story—and possibly his best work—is still being written.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.MrBeast has had an eventful few days that showcase both his reflective personality and his forward-thinking engagement with major industry trends. On October 4th, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, surprised his fanbase by sharing a video he originally recorded a decade ago. In this clip titled Hi Me in 10 Years, a teenage Jimmy talks directly to his future self and wonders if he'll ever hit a million subscribers on YouTube. Given that he now has over 440 million followers, the video is both humble and poignant. He reminisced on how in high school his obsession with YouTube was so intense that teachers thought he was mute because he'd stopped talking about anything except his videos, and he shared how classmates dismissed his work by telling him nobody cared. Despite their doubt, he says his stubbornness and passion for content creation kept him going, adding that if nobody watched his videos, he would still make them anyway. That old-school determination is what ultimately made him the most-watched individual creator on YouTube. This throwback moment has gone viral, serving as a touchstone for aspiring creators everywhere, and shows his knack for blending nostalgia with inspiration, as reported by Reality Tea and Mandatory.On the business and industry front, MrBeast's commentary over the weekend has stirred the creator landscape. Early Sunday, he posted on social media expressing grave concerns about the explosion of artificial intelligence in the creator economy, lamenting the rise of AI-generated videos that are nearly indistinguishable from those made by humans. He dubbed these “scary times,” highlighting how millions of content makers could soon face existential threats as AI video apps like OpenAI's newly released Sora 2 skyrocket in popularity. Sora 2, which lets users generate realistic clips with only text prompts, quickly hit No. 1 on the App Store after a surge in downloads. MrBeast's posts have racked up millions of views and triggered widespread conversation across platforms, with some fans disturbed by his warnings and others reminding him of his own brief foray into AI video thumbnails—a move he reversed after community backlash, promising to support human artists instead. Outlets like TechCrunch, UNILAD Tech, and Entrepreneur have reported that MrBeast's influence makes any industry commentary a big deal; as the highest earner on Forbes' 2025 list, his cautionary words could affect not just his own future but the creative strategies of countless others.Away from social commentary, MrBeast's side businesses continue to draw headlines. His reality show Beast Games on Amazon Prime Video recently saw its first season renewed for two more, and continues to be one of the streaming giant's unscripted hits. Meanwhile, ongoing ventures like Feastables and MrBeast Burger remain active, though no major fresh news from those arms has surfaced in the last 24 hours.In summary, MrBeast's blend of humility, self-awareness, and willingness to publicly wrestle with the future of his own industry sets him apart—making these recent days potentially very significant in the story of his career.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has had an intriguing few days filled with business pivots, headline-grabbing social media activity, and a rare musical moment. On Friday, June 6, he unveiled a bold new monochromatic look and posted a string of moody selfies to Instagram, tagging his newly-launched clothing brand SKYLRK. The singer lounged in rich blue hues—oversized hoodie, leggings, and classic white socks—offering followers a peek into his casual side, all while watching sports with a friend. This SKYLRK launch is turning heads for more than its style. The brand steps in right as Bieber publicly and dramatically cut ties with Drew House, his previous fashion label. In an April Instagram Story, Bieber urged fans not to support Drew House, declaring it no longer represented him or his family. Notably, his wife Hailey Bieber was involved in SKYLRK's design process, according to Page Six, even teasing her favorite jacket on Instagram before the story expired. The details of SKYLRK remain elusive—the website is password-protected and the Instagram account is virtually empty—so, for now, speculation swirls as to the label's aesthetic and market ambitions. Beyond fashion, Justin Bieber's music catalogue continues to be big business. Hipgnosis Songs Management acquired Bieber's entire song catalogue in January 2023, with this asset still making headlines as Hipgnosis underwent further industry restructuring in 2025, according to Wikipedia. While Bieber himself has not commented recently, industry analysts continue to cite this massive deal among the modern music world's most significant rights sales. In terms of wealth, while he's not yet a billionaire, a recent YouTube analysis pegs his fortune around 350 million dollars in 2025—thanks to record sales, explosive tours, and investments in fashion and tech. On the public appearance front, Bieber was seen sharing sunset snaps in St Andrews, Scotland, earlier this week, giving the local Edinburgh beer a thumbs up—a gesture that generated over a million Instagram likes, reports The Scotsman. In a quieter musical moment, a short video posted on YouTube October 4 shows him playing the song Walking Away at the piano, showcasing his stripped-down artistry for fans and sparking plenty of nostalgic buzz. All in all, Bieber's week reveals a star doubling down on personal branding, selectively sharing glimpses of his music, and remaining front and center in both business dealings and the public imagination.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making headlines over the past few days, both directly and through the high-profile business moves connected to his family. The most talked-about development has been the landmark one-billion-dollar sale of Hailey Bieber's Rhode beauty brand to e.l.f. Beauty, with mainstream outlets like The Hollywood Reporter and Women's Wear Daily reporting that Hailey will pocket a significant fortune and stay on as creative officer, while the estimated net worth for Justin stands at 200 million, notably eclipsed by his wife's new record valuation. Hailey shared her excitement and future plans for Rhode on Instagram, generating tens of thousands of likes and supportive comments, which inevitably looped Justin back into the celebrity finance conversation as fans debated the power couple's next chapter.Justin's own business presence remains active, with established management provided by Edward White and public relations handled by Will Bracey. His contact information, including press and brand emails, continues to circulate among industry insiders and fans alike, though he himself has been more reserved in public statements lately. He's kept a tight grip on his creative output, following up the success of his album SWAG with a visible series of musical updates that have excited Beliebers, according to Hi FM Radio Oman. While the buzz points to work underway on new recording and content, fans are left to speculate on his next major tour or live appearance, hinting at deep creative control and the kind of comeback payday that his recent Coachella deal—reportedly reaching ten million dollars—suggests according to recent audio biographies.Bieber's presence on social media also sparked viral attention due to an alleged image showing him in a Turning Point USA hoodie, fueling rumors of a sudden political shift or public statement about the late Charlie Kirk, whose shooting at a public event remains a polarizing topic. India Times debunked the viral photo, confirming it was AI-generated and not an authentic endorsement or commentary from Justin. Despite swirling speculation, he has not made any public statement regarding Kirk or surrounding controversies, with commentators largely focusing on Justin's continuing journey with faith and how he shares messages of gratitude and spiritual growth online.His last major personal posts reflected gratitude for his family and faith, showing a man focused on stability, private creative pursuits, and support for Hailey's own meteoric business success. With a new era unfolding, Justin Bieber remains quieter than the headlines suggest, content to let speculation swirl while maintaining a steady presence on social media, keeping fans guessing, and quietly shaping his next career move.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Over the past few days, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has again proven he's impossible to ignore—either for his booming empire or his headline-making antics. According to Disney Dining and Inside the Magic, Beast Industries is gearing up for an ambitious new chapter, with MrBeast himself reportedly eyeing the launch of a Disney-rivaling theme park as part of his ongoing quest to build the world's next major entertainment conglomerate. After renting out Disneyland for a day last year—a move that generated one of his biggest viral hits—he's now flirting with the idea of building his own park from scratch, turning Beast Industries into what Bloomberg and company CEO Jeff Housenbold compare to the modern Disney, with MrBeast himself as its Mickey Mouse. The company is moving beyond YouTube stardom, expanding into food brands like Feastables and MrBeast Burger, and doubling down on scripted content and branded experiences—all while maintaining those eye-popping philanthropic giveaways, like planting 20 million trees and removing 30 million pounds of trash, that originally turned him into a global sensation.But this week, the bigger story is a firestorm—both literal and digital. On the evening of September 27, MrBeast dropped a video titled "Would You Risk Dying For $500,000?", where a professional stuntman, according to Tyla and The Economic Times, was subjected to a series of "death traps" including escaping a burning building, being fired out of a cannon into fire, and surviving explosions for the massive cash prize. The video immediately triggered backlash on social media, with critics drawing comparisons to "Squid Game" and "The Hunger Games" for its extreme, almost dystopian premise. Several X users and commentators, notably including a firefighter, called out the stunt for reckless endangerment. In response, MrBeast clarified that the entire setup was rigorously tested by professionals, the participant was a trained stuntman, and the crew had numerous safety measures, including fire suppression, ventilation, and a full emergency response team on standby. The video, nonetheless, racked up over 50 million views in days, cementing MrBeast's reputation for blending shock with spectacle—all while fueling debate about the ethics of influencer stunts.While this drama played out online, MrBeast's business machine kept rolling. His Amazon Prime series, Beast Games, was recently renewed for two more seasons, and according to Disney Dining, he's still pursuing a broader "cinematic universe" for his brand. There's even talk of future animation projects and video game platforms, as detailed in recent Bloomberg coverage. The only potential cloud on the horizon is legal: The Economic Times reminds us that MrBeast and Amazon are still facing lawsuits from contestants alleging unpaid wages, poor conditions, and even harassment during the filming of Beast Games—a lawsuit first filed in September 2024 that has yet to fully resolve.Looking back, the past 48 hours have shown MrBeast at both his most ambitious and controversial: a business visionary racing toward theme parks and empire-building, and a viral provocateur pushing the boundaries—sometimes dangerously—of what's acceptable for clicks.Thank you for tuning in to "Mr. Beast Biography Flash."

We meet Sean Ono Lennon to explore his music and life with art, plus we discuss the forthcoming box set Power to the People, that Sean has produced, of his parents' Yoko Ono and John Lennon's 1972 fundraising live New York concert. We consider activism in art, especially the legacy of John and Yoko's timeless work together (as also documented in the recent One to One documentary).Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, New York City on 30 August 1972, the Power to The People box set includes 31 Live Tracks from John & Yoko's two historic sets at the One To One Concert backed by Plastic Ono Band, Elephant's Memory and Special Guests. They were John Lennon's only full-length concerts after leaving The Beatles and the last two full-length concerts that John & Yoko performed together. Released from 10th October 2025. Learn more: https://www.johnlennon.com/news/power-to-the-people-deluxe-box-4lp-2lp-2cd-1cd-preorder-now/Sean Ono Lennon is a world renowned musician, songwriter, and producer. “He has always chosen his own musical path, following it deftly as he splits the difference between pop and experimental pursuits. He came of age in the kaleidoscopic '90s, working with Cibo Matto and issuing his first solo album, 1998's Into the Sun, on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label, while beginning a long stint playing in his mother Yoko Ono's band. In the following decade he formed the psychedelic duo the Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger and the improvisational prog group Mystical Weapons. As his musical interests expanded further, he teamed with Les Claypool to form the hard-to-categorize project the Claypool Lennon Delirium, branched out into film scoring, explored more mainstream territory as he worked with artists like Lana Del Ray, Lady Gaga and Lily Allen, and delved into jazz as well. His first foray into that style was 2024's Asterisms, a fully instrumental album of electronics-fused jazz and psychedelic soundscape music. The son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Lennon was born in New York City in 1975. During his childhood, he was educated in Swiss boarding schools, but occasionally appeared on his mother's albums and sang on the 1984 Ono tribute Every Man Has a Woman. In his early teens, he was occasionally seen decked out in a plastic Thriller jacket and hanging out with Michael Jackson, but his first official step into the spotlight was in the form of filmed interviews for the 1988 documentary Imagine: John Lennon. Three years later, he organized -- with Ono and Lenny Kravitz -- a star-studded re-recording of his father's "Give Peace a Chance" as a protest to the Gulf War. That year, he also appeared on Kravitz's album Mama Said.” Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi.In 2025, Sean is working on a new Claypool Lennon Delirium album (their 3rd) and is directing a documentary film on the crazy genius fashion designers 3as4, who have designed outfits for Bjork and Yoko among many others.

This disconnect between the artist and the audience is one of the subjects that Tom uses to explore the theme of greed that was the overarching construct behind the album. So this leads me to another quote from Tom in that 2002 interview that really does just get down to the nub of the matter. He asks; “How much money do you need?” And yes, I know that Tom was a multi-millionaire, but that was off the back of his creative work and performing for people.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This past week has brought a cascade of headlines and social buzz as Justin Bieber makes one of his most significant moves since his lengthy hiatus. The biggest story shaping his legacy is the announcement that Bieber will headline Coachella 2026—a first for him—alongside heavyweights like Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma. His confirmation instantly ignited #Bieberchella mania across X, with the festival's passes selling out so rapidly that it set a post-pandemic record. According to The Economic Times, Bieber's appearance also made him the highest-paid artist in Coachella's history with a noted 10 million dollar deal, reflecting not just star power, but also industry confidence in his enduring appeal. This headline moment comes on the heels of Bieber's re-emergence in music. After retreating from the spotlight in 2022 due to health challenges—namely Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which led to the cancellation of his “Justice World Tour”—Bieber has recuperated alongside his wife Hailey and their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, welcomed in August 2024. Carefully curated family moments have appeared on Instagram, helping to reshape his public image around resilience, growth, and fatherhood. Yet not all social activity has been soft-focus: Bieber recently unfollowed Usher, his early mentor, on Instagram, sparking rumors about professional reshuffling and evolving alliances.In July, Bieber dropped his comeback album Swag, followed closely by Swag II in September, stirring hopes for a new era of hits and solidifying that his creative energy is back. Instagram teases have kept the hype engine revving, especially a clip of Bieber previewing new music while driving—complete with film and handwriting emojis, suggesting a multimedia-level rollout. Producer Mk.gee confirmed ongoing writing and recording sessions, hinting at a sonically adventurous phase in Bieber's musical story.Industry whispers suggest that a global tour is in development, with insiders pointing both to fan demand and the financial baggage of his earlier tour's abrupt halt. Adding intrigue, a revealing documentary on Bieber's sale of his music catalog and personal struggles dropped this year, further positioning him as a star who's survived immense pressure while plotting a strategic return.On the gossip front, Bieber stirred drama by posting a cryptic Instagram story featuring a pointed song choice on the very day of ex Selena Gomez's wedding, which fans interpret as subtle commentary on their shared past. As coverage oscillates between celebration and speculation, what's undeniable is that Bieber is recalibrating his career with blockbuster moves, creative teases, and headline-grabbing actions—and the world is ready to see what comes next.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's last few days have been a whirlwind of social media drama, festival buzz, and deeply personal milestones all played out under intense public scrutiny. The single biggest headline dropped in mid-September when Coachella announced Justin as its 2026 Saturday headliner, alongside stars Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G. The news instantly trended on X, as Beliebers declared #Bieberchella and flooded timelines with speculation about the setlist that could include everything from “Baby” to “Yummy.” According to Design Taxi and The Economic Times, Bieber shattered records with a $10 million headliner deal, the largest ever for the festival, and tickets sold out within days, putting him back at the industry's center of gravity.On the family front, Bieber's private life made subtle but meaningful splashes. His wife Hailey celebrated a wedding anniversary, and Justin posted a picture of her in a bold yellow dress, captioned with “Happy anniversary bb.” The post drew a divided reaction: some fans called the photo loving, others slammed it as inappropriate, leading to online debate about respect and marital dynamics. Meanwhile, Bieber continues easing back into public life, sharing cryptic social media updates. A recent Instagram carousel showing him playing basketball, posted hours after Selena Gomez's wedding to Benny Blanco, stoked trolling from Selena's fanbase. Comments ranged from “The love of your life just got married” to “How Does It Feel To Be Forgotten,” making Bieber a trending topic for the day as fans dissected every move.Selena's September wedding proved to be a cultural moment that entwined the Bieber family in unexpected ways. Jazmyn Bieber, Justin's younger sister, liked Gomez's wedding photos on Instagram, which instantly sparked speculation and reignited theories about ongoing bonds and buried drama between Selena, Hailey, and the wider Bieber clan. Selena's cousin Priscilla even commented on Justin's feed, urging fans to let Selena live peacefully rather than dragging out old wounds. While Justin has pointedly avoided posting about the wedding, the silence itself became part of the narrative, as observers weighed whether he might be quietly “thinking about big change” according to some industry sources.Musically, rumors of fresh collaborations and Bieber's imminent full-scale return have dominated chatter, with respected insiders confirming that he's writing and recording with producer Mk.gee and teasing an album that could drop in the coming year. Fans are watching for more official announcements, especially after Bieber's recent hint-laden Instagram story and ongoing studio work. Throughout all the turbulence, the prevailing narrative is of a star both lucrative and vulnerable—breaking records one moment, navigating old relationships and social media firestorms the next, all while continuing his evolution as artist, husband, and new dad.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

What fuels deep spiritual strength? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper shows how Charles Simeon's devotion to Scripture shaped his whole life.

“Essentially what carbon accounting is doing is it's using a mathematical equation to come up with a standardized unit of measure that we call a carbon dioxide equivalent of how you can, um, measure and track all of the different greenhouse gases that your business emits through various activities. There's actually seven distinct greenhouse gases that are included…So what carbon accounting is doing is it's using it's using math to take those different greenhouse gases and normalize them into a standard unit of measure, which is carbon dioxide equivalent… (to measure) its warming ability of the planet.  Alyssa Zucker on Electric Ladies Podcast One of the main things nearly every company measures and tracks today is carbon emissions. It's tangible. and every company emits some CO2. But how do you measure and track it?    Listen to Alyssa Zucker, Senior Industry Principal in Carbon at Workiva – aka The Carbon Lady – in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear about: ●        What carbon accounting actually is measuring and tracking, how and why it matters. ●        What the Greenhouse Gas Protocol is, the “scopes” you hear people talk about and how they work. ●        How renewable energy, the grid and other nuances of electricity delivery are measured for carbon. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   “I would say at that point in your career, you've probably honed your niche, right?

I think at that point in your career, it's actually a really good opportunity to broaden and focus on going a little wider….So thinking about leveraging your domain expertise and applying it cross team, cross corporation to have a broader impact is really effective, and will also obviously give you more transferrable skills and how you communicate and work with other domains and teams and learn a little bit more about their world.” Alyssa Zucker on Electric Ladies Podcast   Read Joan's Forbes articles here.   You'll also like: ·       Carbon Credits 101: with Lucy Hargreaves at Patch (now at Build Canada) ·       How to Get To Carbon Zero, with Melissa Lott, Ph.D. at Columbia University Center for Global Energy Policy featured in the “Chasing Carbon Zero” documentary. ·       A Biography of Carbon: with documentary filmmaker, writer and producer, Danielle Ortega of the Australian Film Commission on her extraordinary film “Carbon: An Unauthorized Biography ·       Using Captured Carbon To Make Energy: with Bjork Kristjansdottir, of Carbon Recycling International   Subscribe to our newsletter to receive our podcasts, blog, events and special coaching offers.   Thanks for subscribing on Apple Podcasts or iHeartRadio and leaving us a review!

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.In the past few days, Mr. Beast—aka Jimmy Donaldson—has dominated headlines and social media with what is easily one of his most controversial stunts yet. On September 28, 2025, Mr. Beast released a new YouTube video titled Would you risk dying for $500,000, immediately igniting fierce debate. The video, which racked up over 43 million views in just a day, features Donaldson overseeing a series of extreme challenges, including one where a man—later confirmed by Donaldson to be a professional stuntman—was tied up and left to escape from a burning building. Wearing a firefighter's coat, Mr. Beast plays host to what many described as 'fire traps,' including being shot out of a cannon and surviving explosions.The internet, particularly X users, erupted. Some compared Mr. Beast to the fictional killer Jigsaw, labeling the video sadistic and accusing him of pushing boundaries for views with what they called 'reckless engagement.' Critics questioned the safety and ethicality of making people perform dangerous stunts for cash prizes, with one user bluntly calling the act 'super villain sh*t.' Mr. Beast's massive young audience—he currently boasts around 441 million subscribers, many under 25—added fuel to the discussion, with concerns voiced by the public about the potential for impressionable fans to imitate these dangerous stunts without proper safety precautions.Mr. Beast responded directly to criticism on social media and in statements to TMZ, emphasizing that participant safety was paramount. He asserted that every challenge was thoroughly tested, carried out exclusively by seasoned stunt professionals, and supervised by a full rescue team, including firefighters, EMTs, and a dedicated pyro team able to 'essentially turn off the fire if there was ever an issue.' He reiterated on X that ventilation and both smoke and flame 'kill switches' were in place, and every contingency was covered.While the backlash remains heated, plenty of others on social media dismissed the outrage as overblown, pointing out the obvious professionalism and control behind the stunts. Nonetheless, the ongoing firestorm highlights how Donaldson continues to push the limits of participatory entertainment and the conversation around safety, ethics, and influence in YouTube content creation. No significant new business launches have been reported over the past 24 hours, nor has Mr. Beast made any public appearances outside this viral episode, but it is clear his every move is under the microscope as the internet debates the boundaries of spectacle.Thanks for tuning in to Mr. Beast Biography Flash.

"My editor was like, hold on, you need to put your thumb on the scale of why this matters. Now, there's no first person in this, but you have your thumb on the scale, you need to assert your own point of view. Like, this matters, why? says Brendan O'Meara, author of The Front Runner: The Life of Steve Prefontaine Mariner Books.Who the heck does this host think he is being a guest on his own podcast? The nerve of this guy. That's right, for the third live taping of the Creative Nonfiction Podcast at Gratitude Brewing, I was interviewed by the brilliant Daniel Littlewood, who kinda makes me look and sound like a jabroni's jabroni.Daniel is Group Creative Director at The Explainer Studio at Vox Media, Inc. He edited the documentary feature film “Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock & Roll.” Formerly, he was the lead producer for HuffPost's Live's multi-million dollar sponsored content division. He has a tremendously easy-going, conversation nature to interviewing with tremendous shot-clock awareness that required next to no editing on my part.So The Front Runner has, at this point, been out for four months. Daniel and I recorded this on July 27 so the book was only out for two months at that time. This was a painful edit for me because I'm so sick of hearing myself talk and talk and talk. I'm not so sure I took a single breath during this conversation, but Daniel was an incredible partner and if something should happen to me, I want Daniel to take over CNF Pod.In this episode, I talk about: My love of my editor Valorization of pain Making the case for why I was the person to write this book Asserting POV in biography World building And why it was a good thing I forgot the combination of our gun safeRuby McConnell introduces us at Gratitude Brewing.Order The Front RunnerNewsletter: Rage Against the AlgorithmWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com
