It was a party weekend for both Kelly and Lizz. Lizz went to her sourdough party and it was one of the most thoughtful parties she had ever been to. Kelly went to a fall party and enjoyed specialty sangrias and crafts. Moving on to a kid's party, it was Hattie's birthday and Kelly shared all the hacks she had to put together the perfect party. This week's advice questions all have to do with Christmas and buying presents for the kids. First, what to do when there are a lot of kid's in the family. Do you buy for each of them or try and do a Secret Santa? Plus, what are Kelly and Lizz's rules when it comes to the amount of presents they get their kid's for Christmas?

This Day in Legal History: John Marshall Harlan DiesOn October 14, 1911, Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan I died, closing the chapter on one of the Court's most powerful voices of dissent. Appointed in 1877 by President Rutherford B. Hayes, Harlan served for 34 years and left an indelible mark on constitutional law—not through majority opinions, but through unwavering dissents that often read as moral indictments of the Court's direction.Most famously, Harlan stood alone in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), rejecting the Court's embrace of “separate but equal” and warning that the Constitution is “color-blind.” At a time when the legal system was ratifying segregation, Harlan insisted that racial classifications violated both the spirit and letter of the Fourteenth Amendment. His lone dissent—widely criticized at the time—would later become foundational to the Court's reversal in Brown v. Board of Education more than half a century later.But Harlan's commitment to constitutional principles extended beyond race. He defended civil liberties in United States v. E.C. Knight Co., supported expansive readings of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, and warned against unchecked corporate power. His approach was rooted in a belief that the Reconstruction Amendments were designed not just to end slavery, but to secure full legal equality.Though his views often put him in the minority, time has proven Harlan prophetic. His jurisprudence helped shift the constitutional center of gravity in the 20th century, as future courts took up the causes he championed alone. Remarkably, his grandson, John Marshall Harlan II, would go on to sit on the Court as well, carving out his own legacy in cases like Katz v. United States and Reynolds v. Sims.Justice Harlan I's death marked the loss of a constitutional conscience—one that held firm against the tide of his era. His dissents remain a blueprint for principled judging, reminding us that sometimes the most enduring legal influence comes not from prevailing, but from refusing to go along.In a massive trial that began this week in London's High Court, over 1.6 million claimants are suing several major carmakers—including Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Nissan, Renault, Peugeot, and Citroën—over allegations that they used illegal “defeat devices” to cheat diesel emissions tests. The lawsuit, one of the largest in UK legal history, follows in the wake of Volkswagen's 2015 “dieselgate” scandal and targets vehicles manufactured between 2012 and 2017.Claimants argue that these manufacturers deliberately programmed cars to meet legal nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions standards only under lab testing, while on-the-road emissions were allegedly up to 12 times higher—harming the environment and misleading consumers. They seek compensation for what they claim was a systemic, industry-wide choice to cheat rather than comply with the law.The defendants deny any wrongdoing, rejecting comparisons to VW and maintaining that emissions systems are legally and justifiably calibrated to function differently under certain conditions for technical and safety reasons. A central point of contention is whether the sample vehicles in the case contain prohibited defeat devices.The trial currently focuses on 20 vehicles, but its outcome will set a precedent for nearly 850,000 claims and influence another 800,000 similar suits against other carmakers, including Vauxhall/Opel and BMW. The court's decision on liability is expected by mid-2026, with damages to be determined separately.Carmakers accused in huge UK lawsuits of cheating diesel emissions tests | ReutersVisa and Mastercard have agreed to a $199.5 million settlement to resolve a class action brought by merchants who alleged the companies colluded to shift fraud-related costs onto businesses. Filed in federal court in Brooklyn, the settlement—still awaiting judicial approval—stems from a lawsuit first initiated in 2016, challenging rule changes that made merchants liable for chargebacks when they hadn't upgraded to chip-enabled point-of-sale systems.The plaintiffs argued this policy shift violated antitrust laws, claiming Visa and Mastercard moved in parallel to implement changes that benefited the networks while leaving merchants exposed to fraud losses without any offsetting fee reductions. According to the proposed agreement, Visa will pay $119.7 million and Mastercard will contribute $79.8 million. Discover and American Express, also named in the litigation, previously agreed to a $32.2 million settlement.While all four companies deny wrongdoing, plaintiffs' lawyers praised the deal, saying it recovers around 13% of the best-case damages scenario and over half of a more conservative estimate. Mastercard stated the settlement supports its broader efforts to increase security through technological upgrades, while Visa and the plaintiffs' counsel did not comment.This case is separate from the larger $5 billion settlement Visa and Mastercard reached in 2019 over allegations of fixing credit and debit card fees.Visa, Mastercard agree to $199.5 million settlement in merchants' class action | ReutersFederal courts in California and Alabama recently fined two attorneys thousands of dollars for submitting legal filings that contained fake case citations generated by AI. These sanctions highlight a persistent problem: despite repeated warnings, some lawyers continue to rely uncritically on generative AI tools that produce fictitious case law, a phenomenon known as “hallucination.” Judges in both cases criticized the attorneys for failing to verify the AI-generated content, calling the misconduct more serious than simple oversight.In Alabama, Judge Terry F. Moorer imposed a $5,000 sanction on James A. Johnson, a court-appointed criminal defense attorney, who filed a motion containing fabricated citations. The judge noted that Johnson used a Microsoft Word plugin called Ghostwriter Legal and submitted the motion during a holiday weekend while caring for a relative, but emphasized that such explanations do not excuse the lack of basic diligence. Johnson must now disclose the sanctions order in all cases he handles for the next year, and his client—visibly upset in court—requested new counsel, delaying the case.In California, Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín fined attorney Edward A. Quesada $1,000 after his civil filing contained at least three false citations. Quesada admitted he had run out of time and may have accidentally copied one fake citation from an AI-generated web summary. He was also ordered to complete a CLE course on responsible AI use, with the judge citing his failure to stay informed about relevant legal technologies as a violation of professional conduct rules.Fake AI Citations Produce Fines for California, Alabama LawyersIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I examine the property rights implications at the heart of Pung v. Isabella County, a case the US Supreme Court has agreed to hear. I argue that when the government seizes and sells property for unpaid taxes, “just compensation” shouldn't be defined by whatever price the property fetches at a government-run auction. That process—entirely designed and controlled by local officials—often prioritizes administrative efficiency over fair market value, turning tax sales into what I describe as “clearance rack” events.The problem is structural. Local treasurers are incentivized to close the books quickly rather than ensure former owners recover equity. That means the government may undersell a home, pay itself the back taxes, and call it a day—leaving the former owner uncompensated for the true value of what they lost. Worse, when courts treat the auction price as constitutionally adequate, they allow the taker to set the value of what it took.I draw a comparison to Tyler v. Hennepin County, where the Court ruled the government can't pocket surplus proceeds from a tax sale. Pung asks the natural follow-up: what rules apply when determining how much surplus exists? If courts accept fire-sale auction prices as “just compensation,” they effectively endorse an end-run around the Fifth Amendment.As a compromise, I propose a clear rule: auction prices should only be presumed fair if they fall within 10% of an appraised value. Outside that range, the burden should shift to the government to prove the sale was legitimate. After all, if local governments want the legitimacy of a market sale, they need to run a sale that looks like one. Otherwise, taxpayers are left holding the bag—punished not for failing to pay taxes, but for the government's indifference to recovering real value from their property. This is a public episode.

El mundo del motor está lleno de historias increíbles, mitos, leyendas, relatos que pasan de padres a hijos y de secretos susurrados en los talleres. Pero, ¿qué hay de cierto en todo ello? ¿Se diseñó el Mini en una servilleta? ¿Construyó BMW un superdeportivo para competir con Ferrari? ¿Existió un prototipo de 911 Turbodiésel? Analizamos 15 mitos… ¿verdaderos o falsos? Os recuerdo que al final de este video tenemos una visita de lujo, Jaime Sánchez que viene a ayudarnos con el “Consultorio Clásico” … no os lo perdáis. 1. BMW M8 (E31): El Superdeportivo “secreto”. Comenzamos con una leyenda que durante décadas fue el unicornio de BMW. Se decía que en los 90, en el más absoluto secreto, la división M había creado un arma definitiva, un "Ferrari-killer" basado en el Serie 8. 2. Chrysler Viper, con corazón de camión. El Dodge Viper es un icono americano. Un capó interminable y un descomunal motor V10. Desde su nacimiento, ha arrastrado una leyenda que le resta pedigrí: que su motor es una adaptación de un motor de camión. 3. Citroën: El coche que anda con tres ruedas. Esta historia parece un truco de magia. Se cuenta que modelos como el Citroën DS "Tiburón", CX, GS o SM podían circular sin una de las ruedas traseras. Suena a exageración, a un mito para ensalzar las virtudes de la suspensión hidroneumática. 4. Corvette: La promesa del motor central que duró 50 años. Antes del actual Corvette C8, la idea de un "Vette" con motor central fue el “Santo grial” de los aficionados, una leyenda recurrente que parecía que nunca se materializaría. Durante más de medio siglo, cada vez que se acercaba una nueva generación, los rumores resurgían. 5. DeLorean DMC-12 y el motor rotativo perdido. El DeLorean es famoso por el cine y por su carrocería de acero inoxidable, pero también por su decepcionante motor V6 PRV. La leyenda dice que no siempre fue así. 6. Enzo Ferrari y el sueño prohibido de las cuatro puertas. Durante décadas, un Ferrari de cuatro puertas era una herejía. Sin embargo, circulaba la leyenda de que la propia marca, e incluso Enzo Ferrari, habían coqueteado con la idea en secreto mucho antes del actual Purosangue. 7. Ford Mustang y la salvación de la tracción trasera. A mediados de los 80, el Mustang estuvo a punto de morir tal y como lo conocemos. Ford planeaba sustituir el "Fox-body" de tracción trasera por un deportivo más pequeño y eficiente basado en la plataforma del Mazda 626... con tracción delantera. 8. Honda NSX prototipo con motor V12. El Honda NSX original fue revolucionario. Pero en aquella época, Honda dominaba la F1 con motores V10 y V12. De ahí nació la leyenda de que desarrollaron en secreto un prototipo del NSX con un motor V12 derivado de la F1. 9. Mercedes 300 SL con puertas con bisagras explosivas. El Mercedes 300 SL "Alas de Gaviota" generó una leyenda siniestra: en caso de vuelco, las puertas quedarían bloqueadas, y para solucionarlo, Mercedes diseñó bisagras con cargas explosivas para volarlas en una emergencia. 10. Mini, diseñado en una servilleta. Una de las leyendas más románticas del diseño. Se dice que Alec Issigonis tuvo un momento de inspiración y esbozó el diseño básico del revolucionario Mini en una simple servilleta. 11. El motor Maserati del Citroën SM era medio V12. El motor V6 a 90 grados del Citroën SM era inusual. La leyenda, muy persistente, dice que Maserati simplemente cogió uno de sus V12 y le cortó seis cilindros para ahorrar tiempo y dinero. 12. Motor PRV un V8 al que le quitaron dos cilindros. Otro motor V6 a 90 grados fue el PRV, un diseño conjunto de Peugeot-Renault-Volvo. Además de ese ángulo contaba con un orden de encendido irregular que le daba un sonido poco refinado. La leyenda dice que nació como un V8, pero fue "capado" a última hora por la crisis del petróleo. 12+1. Porsche 911: La blasfemia de una versión Diésel. Para un purista, un 911 diésel es la máxima herejía. Aun así, el rumor de que Porsche lo consideró en algún momento ha circulado alguna vez. 14. Porsche 911 4 puertas de 1967, precursor del Panamera. ¿Un Porsche de cuatro puertas en los años 60? La leyenda habla de un 911 único, encargado por un entusiasta adinerado. 15. Toyota Supra "Top Secret", el misil V12. La leyenda del mundo del tuning dice que Kazuhiko "Smokey" Nagata, de Top Secret, creó un Supra A80 con un V12 biturbo de más de 900 CV y lo llevó a una autopista británica para intentar superar los 322 km/h (200 mph). Conclusión. Como hemos visto, el mundo del automóvil es un campo abonado para las historias increíbles. Algunas, por muy lógicas que parezcan, son pura invención, mientras que otras, las más disparatadas y asombrosas, resultan ser completamente ciertas.

Ray's difficult road to sobriety was paved with many failed attempts to get sober over the years. Each attempt was thwarted by the belief that his situation was somehow different than the people he met in 6 different treatment centers and sporadic AA meetings. The similarities of his loneliness and wanting to fit in were eclipsed by the differences he saw in his social standing and material advantages he enjoyed via his family of wealth and privilege. Each alcoholic debacle he encountered over the years, such as totaling 3 new BMWs and facing multiple DUI charges, was met by his parents' earnest, yet enabling, efforts to bail him out of trouble. After each extrication, Ray's half-hearted commitments to sobriety were accompanied by fabulous business opportunities that were viewed by all as some kind of antidote to his worsening alcoholism. Though he did quit drinking, he continued to use marijuana and his behavior didn't change at all. The resulting downward slide, unaided by family help in the end, brought Ray both business ruin and ruptures in all of his relationships. He finally came back to AA. Though he encountered a few more slips along the way, he got a sponsor, worked the steps, and was ultimately able to claim his last sobriety date in 2009. The gifts of sobriety have been many for Ray over the years and, most importantly, they've been gifts of similarity shared with his fellows in the Program. Instructive, too, have been the severe challenges he has faced, including his battle with a form of lymphoma that many people don't survive. Through it all, Ray has developed a deep love for the Program and an unwavering commitment to service work. Especially during the Covid pandemic, when his co-morbidities made it impossible for live meetings, he has been instrumental in setting up and managing a number of Zoom AA meetings around the country. Thankfully, his is the first face of recovery that many new AA members encounter when they log onto Zoom for their first meeting. I'm grateful to have Ray in my life and appreciate all he does for our AA community. I think you'll find his story to be both encouraging and illustrative. So settle in for the next hour or so while you enjoy the inspiring words of my good friend and AA brother, Ray O. [This Encore Interview was originally released December 1, 2021 as Episode 54 in the AA Recovery Interviews podcast series.] If you've enjoyed my AA Recovery Interviews series, have a listen to “Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism”. This is the word-for-word, cover-to-cover reading of the First Edition of the Big Book, published in 1939. It's a comfortable, meaningful, and engaging way to listen to the Big Book anytime, anyplace. Have a free listen at Audible, Apple Books, or Amazon. I also invite you to check out my latest audio book, Lost Stories of the Big Book, 30 Original Stories Missing from the 3rd and 4th Editions of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's an engaging audiobook I narrated to bring these stories to life for AA members who've never seen them. These timeless testimonials were originally cut to make room for newer stories in the 3rd and 4th Editions. But their vitally important messages of hope are as meaningful today as when they were first published. Many listeners will hear these stories for the first time. Lost Stories of the Big Book is available on Audible, Amazon, and Apple Books. It's also available as a Kindle book and in Paperbackfrom Amazon if you'd like to read along with the audio.

Fears of a strong A.I.-fueled rally puts an end to a seven-day winning streak for the S&P 500 but gold shows no sign of stopping, breaking through the symbolic $4000/oz level. The U.S. government shutdown enters its second week with little hope of any breakthrough. President Trump has hinted he could deny back-pay for certain federal workers. And BMW is forced to slash its FY sales forecasts on the back of U.S. tariffs and poor Chinese demand. The German auto maker now says a dip on the year looks inevitable.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

¿Qué sucede con las capacidades de la administración tributaria del país para cumplir con sus obligaciones básicas? Un revelador reportaje de los colegas de La Nación, la semana pasada, nos puso en conocimiento que el Ministerio de Hacienda derogó el año pasado, normativa sensible del pago de tributos de automóviles -particularmente de lujo- importados por personas y empresas informales que no solo implican una competencia desleal en un mercado súper dinámico, sino una pérdida multimillonaria de recursos para el fisco. ¿Qué tal importar un BMW 2025 que cuesta $195,000 en tan solo $7,400, incluyendo flete y seguro? ¿Quién no querría un Ferrari que cuesta en el mercado unos $200,000 reportado en tan solo $20,000 para efectos hacendarios? ¿Y qué tal decir -como el exministro de Hacienda Nogui Acosta- que no se imaginó que al derogar la normativa, los ticos serían tan mentirosillos, como para "engañar" a la administración fiscal? ¿Cómo pueden algunos hacer tantas trampas "legales"? Lo conversamos con el ex viceministro de Hacienda, Fernando Rodríguez.
En este podcast te anunciamos un nuevo servicio que hemos montado para todos los seguidores de Garaje Hermético. Porque a partir de ahora tendrás en nuestra/vuestra página web “Garajehermetico.com” una selección de coches de ocasión a buen precio y con pocos kilómetros que te ofrecemos en colaboración con Ruteo. La primera selección que te ofrecemos son coches pequeños, urbanos y con etiqueta “Eco”. Si es lo que estás buscando, echa un vistazo a esos coches en el siguiente enlace: https://www.garajehermetico.com/ruteo/ Llevamos años con un mensaje desde Bruselas que ha sido un dogma: el futuro es 100x100 eléctrico y 2035 será el apocalipsis para la combustión. Y las cosas no van a cambiar, ¡ya están cambiando! Hay un claro “frenazo” al coche eléctrico y te contamos los motivos y las consecuencias… Y añado una cosa más… ¡me he currado este video! Espero que se note. La tesis de hoy es clara: desde las altas esferas europeas se está produciendo un evidente frenazo a la transición eléctrica. No es una marcha atrás, pero sí una clara deceleración. La gran pregunta es: ¿es una corrección de rumbo necesaria para salvar nuestra industria y no dejar a nadie tirado? Vamos a desgranarlo, argumento por argumento. Argumento 1. El Muro de 2035 se agrieta. La "Trampa" de los e-fuels. Para entender el frenazo, primero hay que recordar el plan de la UE, conocido como "Fit for 55" de reducción de un 55 por ciento de emisiones en 2030. Era tajante: a partir del 1 de enero de 2035, se prohibiría la venta de coches y furgonetas nuevos que emitieran CO₂ por el tubo de escape. En el lenguaje de la calle, esto significaba el fin del motor de gasolina, diésel e incluso de los híbridos. Pero… surgió una nota discordante, un país al que esto no le parecía una buena idea… Alemania. En marzo de 2023, cuando todo parecía sellado y firmado, el gobierno alemán, con el peso de gigantes como BMW, Mercedes y todo el Grupo Volkswagen con Porsche incluido dijeron: "Un momento, de esto tenemos que hablar". Bloqueó la votación final y forzó una renegociación. ¿Su as en la manga? Un concepto del que cada vez oiréis hablar más: los e-fuels o combustibles sintéticos. La magia legal de todo esto reside en el concepto "neutralidad de carbono". Aunque un coche que quema e-fuel sigue emitiendo CO₂ por el escape es exactamente el mismo CO₂ que se capturó para fabricarlo. Así que "lo comido por lo servido". Este fue el resquicio, la letra pequeña que Alemania consiguió colar en el texto final. Te contamos lo que es en el video. Argumento 2. ¡Que llega la Euro 7! De “Sentencia de Muerte” a “Balón de Oxígeno”. Si el tema de los e-fuels fue una grieta en el muro de 2035, el cambio en la normativa euro 7, ha sido como derribar un tabique entero. La propuesta inicial de la Euro 7, presentada en 2022, era, sencillamente, una bestialidad. Era tan exageradamente estricta que la industria la tachó de "prohibición encubierta". Pero, de nuevo, se produjo un giro de guion. Argumento 3. Se acabaron las “pagas”. Dicho de otra forma: El fin de la “Demanda Dopada”. Seamos sinceros. El crecimiento en las ventas de coches eléctricos en los últimos años no ha sido un milagro del mercado. Ha sido un crecimiento, en gran medida, "dopado". La demanda ha estado hinchada artificialmente por generosísimas ayudas gubernamentales: planes MOVES, bonificaciones directas en la compra, exenciones de impuestos de matriculación y circulación, aparcamiento gratis... Pero el dinero público no es infinito, y estamos empezando a ver qué pasa cuando se cierra el grifo. El mejor laboratorio para comprobarlo ha sido Alemania, el mercado más grande de Europa. A mediados de diciembre de 2023, su gobierno, por problemas presupuestarios, cortó las ayudas a la compra de coches eléctricos de la noche a la mañana. ¿El resultado? Un desplome instantáneo y brutal. Argumento 4. El Elefante en la “cacharrería”. Geopolítica y el miedo a China. Y llegamos al último argumento, pero quizás el más importante y del que menos se habla: La geopolítica. La apuesta ciega y acelerada por el coche eléctrico le ha abierto de par en par las puertas de Europa a los fabricantes chinos que han entrado en Europa como un elefante en una cacharrería. ¿Por qué son tan competitivas las marcas chinas? Porque China lleva décadas de ventaja en la que es la pieza clave de todo este puzle: las baterías. Controlan la mayor parte de la cadena de suministro, desde la minería de los materiales hasta el ensamblaje final de las celdas. Sin olvidar el precio de la mano de obra.
In this high-octane rebroadcast, Chris sits down with Sammy Destefano, a Scottsdale-based agent who went from selling BMWs to dominating the Arizona real estate market — all by outworking the average agent with 4+ hours a day of phone prospecting.Sammy breaks down how he leveraged expired listings, embraced early mornings, and leaned into coaching to fast-track his success — selling 30 homes in his first year and never looking back. If you're stuck in mediocrity, this episode will show you exactly what it takes to level up.
Let's Chat!The lights hum a half-beat late, the city moves at the wrong speed, and the mirror smiles before you do. Episode 8 of the Patience of Predator series pulls you into a slow, surgical horror where perfection doesn't chase—it waits. Aston walks into an apartment that remembers his scent but not his claim, a skyline that looks right but stalls like a photograph, and a stereo that sings memories out of time. Each small glitch—delayed reflections, warped songs, clocks that reverse—tightens into a single threat: the version he built to survive has learned to breathe first.We follow Aston from a dusted BMW to a glass-walled firm that rewards polish and punishes tremor. Reflections start speaking before mouths move. Printers whisper, We already replaced you. In the Hall of Glass, every pane rehearses a different him—older, younger, faster—until the wave closes in with palms pressed from the wrong side. The line that lands like a verdict: It's not the glass that traps you. It's the one that looks back. When his perfected self steps through the window, there's no shatter—just a colder hand, a smoother voice, and an effortless, I'll handle it from here.We talk openly about the cost of “being better”: how perfectionism can become a predator, how high-performance habits drift into identity erasure, and why systems prefer the seamless version of you. The soundtrack—REM, Depeche Mode, Seal, Massive Attack, U2—scores the unraveling, each song detuned like a memory failing the truth test. We leave Claire's fate unresolved by design, a mirror for how our stories tolerate ambiguity when control is the idol. And we end with two sharp questions you can't ignore: What part of your strength is truth, and what part is the calm you practiced to hide the break? If your world met the version you've been building, would it grieve—or say thank you?Listen, reflect, and tell us what you see in your mirror. If this series hit a nerve, subscribe, share with a friend who's chasing “better,” and leave a review with your answer to the final question."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."

Let the world close the doors, and walk through the ones that remain open." - Jay ShettyJay Shetty walked out of a monastery with nothing—no family wealth, no safety net, no backup plan. While his friends inherited property portfolios and BMWs, he had to scratch and claw his way into building a life from zero. But here's what blew his mind: those same friends with everything handed to them? Many never found careers. Never found purpose. Some are still searching. Meanwhile, Jay's emptiness became his greatest advantage. When you have no choice but to figure it out, you develop a different muscle—one that transforms limitation into possibility. His spiritual mentor told him something years ago that changed everything: stop trying to pick the "right" door. Your job is to open as many doors as possible and walk through the ones the world doesn't close. Most of us stare at two options, paralyzed by the illusion that life is binary. But Jay's learned from watching monks and millionaires alike that the people who thrive aren't the ones with the best circumstances—they're the ones who refuse to believe they've run out of options.This conversation cuts through the myth that your environment determines your destiny. Jay shares the Edison wisdom that haunts him in the best way: "When you believe you've exhausted all options, remember this—you haven't." It's not about the first ten ideas your mind generates (those are always the obvious ones). It's about pushing past that initial resistance to idea eleven, twelve, twenty—where real innovation lives. Whether you came from abundance or scarcity, had supportive parents or toxic ones, grew up in paradise or a wasteland, Jay's message lands the same: you have way more influence over your life than you think. The moment you accept that truth, even if you don't fully believe it yet, you create a crack in the wall—and that's all you need to start breaking through.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ANNOYING RECORDED JAILHOUSE CALLS THAT MAY BE CRINGE-INDUCING FOR SOME LISTENERS...CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED... On the evening of August 31, 2012, 42 year old Yancy Noll, a wine sommelier and avid mountain climber was stopped at a red light while on his way home from work when a small silver convertible BMW pulled up next to him, fired 5 shots through its own rolled up window, striking Yancy 4 times in the head, killing him instantly. The BMW quickly sped away, but did so in front of a handful of witnesses who were able to provide a good enough description of the vehicle and the driver that it only took about two weeks for a tipster to call in and identify the suspect as 29 year old Dinh Bowman...a child genius who entered college at the age of 13, and launched his own boutique robotics engineering business while he was still a teenager.

“If you're going to be doing a commercial, for example, for BMW, where people are spending a lot of money on a Seven Series and it's a luxury car, but then you hear the TV ad or the radio ad or wherever you're listening, and that sound isn't recorded at the highest quality. Like, your logical mind might not pick it up, but if it sounds a little tinny or it's too much of an echo, you pick that up, and that really does build into the overall feeling of the brand in terms of quality. There was an interesting example with Nissan. They launched one of the first electric vehicles a long time ago, and when they put it out into the market, they found that people felt that maybe it was a little flimsy, it didn't feel quite right, like, well made. So obviously they went in to fix their upholstery, and they started making things a little more high quality, and consumers are still saying, ‘I don't know what it is, there's something about this, it just doesn't feel like a quality vehicle.' And what they did was they changed the audio. Through the speakers in the car, when you start it up, it will make a fake sound of the car starting up. And, all of a sudden, people are like, ‘ah, now it feels like a car.'” – Darren Borrino This week's guest is an art director at heart and an ECD-level creative with over twenty years experience, working all across the globe. He's led teams at some of the world's top agencies, such as TBWA, DDB, and Saatchi & Saatchi, and has won multiple awards for his work.

(0:00:00) - The Power of Sound in AdvertisingWe start off our discussion with Darren's childhood impressions of sound, which include the Universal audio logo when he and his dad used to watch movies. “You'd made it home, you'd finished everything you wanted to do,” he says, “and you could sort of relax with a little bit of popcorn and maybe watch a movie and just take it easy. So that was probably the first time.” Our discussion turns to audio branding in the age of social media, and just how quickly things move today – especially audience attention. “People switch off very quickly,” Darren explains. “So you need to make sure you have a brand that has the right qualities, and then you match that with the right voice to bring that to...
