Ever wondered how music festivals can spark deeper human connections? Get ready to explore the transformative power of the Ramble Festival, as we chat with founder Brick Lohr and collaborator in this year's Ramble, Kris Howland of Heady Wax Fiends. Discover the innovative partnerships shaping the festival scene, like the vinyl submission contest by Heady Wax Fiends. It is collaboration between individuals like Kris and Brick, who are enhancing the festival experience by merging music with vinyl culture. This artistic initiative not only offers artists the chance to join the Ramble festival lineup but also supports them in producing their next album on vinyl. It's an inspiring example of how connections and creative ideas can elevate the festival experience and provide musicians with unique opportunities beyond the stage. We talk a bit about the balance between passion and career as we highlight the joys of pursuing what you love through passion projects like podcasts and festivals. We emphasize the importance of authenticity and staying true to one's passions, even when they aren't the main source of income. As we gear up for the Ramble Festival, featuring acts like Chris Jacobs and The California Honey Drops, we celebrate the bonds formed through shared musical interests. The episode underscores our gratitude for community spaces that allow us to connect, recharge, and carry the festival spirit into everyday life, enriching the world with unity and joy.

It's Friday and we fooled them again with an RGF that's part reunion recap, part emotional unpack—and yes, the mop-top mullet made an appearance. We talk Brian Wilson and why some songs—and some souls—leave a mark. We talk whether Sunday is the start or end of the week, and why teenage boys are now rocking hair that looks like it lost a bet. We talk about the mob salad mullet epidemic, eras that aged well (hello, Mad Men), and those that didn't (sorry, 70s—you tried). We talk bricks. The emotional kind. The ones you've been carrying for decades because someone once told you you didn't belong, didn't graduate, or didn't measure up. Spoiler alert: no one's checking credentials at the door of friendship. You're in. Always were. We talk about the power of showing up—whether it's to a college reunion, a group chat, or your own healing. And we remind you: just because you've gotten used to the weight doesn't mean it was ever yours to carry. We talk DNA myths, emotional fatigue, and why therapy can look like a professional session, a friend chat, or even a late-night convo with Phineas J. Whoopi (AI therapist of choice). Healing is healing—don't knock the method. Happy Friday. Set down a brick. Bye betches.   -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

‘The Brick' is finally finished! Kate and Sheila discuss Les Miserables in its entirety… (spoiler alerts galore-avoid if  surprises you adore) …it has taken us a bit, but so totally worth it!Victor Hugo shows readers that, “Heroes come in all shapes” from the unbelievable bravery of young Gavroche to the mysterious motives of the misunderstood Jean Valjean. Hugo can bloviate like no other author, from Waterloo to the sewers of France! He can also pack quite a punch in  few words:“One cannot goad people into moving faster than they are prepared to go. Woe to him who tries to force their hands.” People will rise to the level of expectations but we must let them rise (like bread in the making) we cannot force anyone's progress! Victor nailed it!“What is Progress? We have just said it. It is the permanent life of all people. But it sometimes happens that the momentary life of individuals is opposed to the eternal life of the human race.”Do we oft times put the pebbles in first? Do we worry and fret over the trivial? Eternal life is one that is lived in harmony with God❤️He is our Rock He must come first!“But a civilizing race must be a masculine race…Those who become effeminate bastardize themselves.” In our society young men are committing suicide 4 times the regular population! The war against toxic masculinity has wreaked havoc by giving young men false  identities, leaving our society with boys.Readers are taken on a journey starting with injustice and evil and falsity and darkness toward justice and goodness and truth and light! What an emotional roller coaster ride for determined readers! Warning: Not for the faint of heart! Let's put on SCUBA gear before embarking on this deeper than deep dive! Thanks for joining us on our quest to read the best! May you have a day that is blessed with a book, a cuppa, and  friends! 

In this episode, I sat down with Mills Vautrot . He is a change consultant who brings a unique mix of strategy, energy work, and straight-up truth to the table. Mills shared how a major business struggle became the turning point that led him to his purpose — helping individuals and leaders shift their perspective and create real, lasting change. We talked about what really holds people back, why most strategies fall flat without the right internal alignment, and how energy plays a bigger role in business than most people realize. If you're an entrepreneur, here's what you'll take away: How to reframe failure into fuelWhy alignment often beats hustleHow to lead your team (and yourself) with more clarityWhat happens when you shift the story you're telling yourselfAnd why integrating the intangible might be your secret advantage If you're in a season of transition or just looking for a deeper way to grow, this conversation will meet you where you are — and move you forward. Subscribe to the show and share this episode with a founder, leader, or friend who needs to hear it. This is one of those conversations that can really shift something.

"I wanted to be a dolphin trainer... But here I am." - Kelly Guzman  What happens when emergency nurses become healthcare design consultants? In this fascinating episode of Healthcare Interior Design 2.0, host Cheryl Janis sits down with two remarkable guests who made the leap from bedside care to transforming how healthcare spaces are designed. Meet Kelly Guzman, who traded her childhood dreams of training dolphins for a nursing career that began during the 1987 nursing shortage. After years managing emergency departments and clinical services at UCLA Health, Kelly discovered her true calling when tasked with moving entire hospitals into new buildings. Now CEO of Yellow Brick Consulting, she orchestrates complex healthcare facility transitions with military precision - including dress rehearsals with up to 900 staff members testing new spaces before they open. Meet Kevin Meek, whose journey started at age 13 as a hospital candy striper, inspired by the TV show Emergency 51. His design awakening came in 2014 when he walked through a micro hospital under construction and immediately knew it would be an operational nightmare. One complaint to his boss led to a game-changing meeting with architects in Texas, launching his transition from trauma nurse to design consultant. Both Kelly and Kevin have served on the board of the Nursing Institute for Healthcare Design (NIHD), our podcast industry partners. They found their tribe in this organization that connects clinical "unicorns" who felt alone in the design space. The NIHD's mission is to engage and integrate clinical expertise into healthcare facility planning through leadership, education, and advocacy - ensuring that the voices of those who actually work in these spaces are heard in the design process. Together, they've pioneered the concept of "clinically informed design" - and the stories they share will make you question everything you thought you knew about healthcare facility planning. From door handles placed in impossible locations to the eternal struggle of finding space for critical patient information at the bedside, this episode reveals the often hilarious (and sometimes heartbreaking) disconnect between beautiful design and functional reality. In this eye-opening conversation, you'll discover: How two emergency nurses found their calling as healthcare design "unicorns" and why the industry desperately needs more clinical voices The game-changing difference between evidence-based design and clinically informed design (hint: one involves research, the other involves asking the right questions) Why a door paddle eight feet from the door could be a matter of life and death - and other design details that seem obvious once you know them The fascinating world of hospital transition planning, where entire facilities rehearse their opening like a Broadway production How the Nursing Institute for Healthcare Design is connecting clinical expertise with architectural brilliance Real-world horror stories of beautiful spaces that staff absolutely hate to work in Practical strategies for nurses thrust into design meetings and architects wanting to truly engage clinical teams Why post-occupancy evaluations could prevent future design disasters (and why they rarely happen) Discover why nurses are the ultimate design unicorns, learn about the organization connecting clinical voices to design teams nationwide, and find out what happens when a nurse tells a prospective client that they "hate" their gorgeous new facility - with the architect standing right there.

Did you know that bathrooms and showers – particularly in shared spaces – are a veritable breeding ground for pathogen, some of which we see in the form of mold and the build-up of toxic bio films on surfaces. Body fats and soap scums provide a rich food sauce for micro-organisms such as airborne bacteria Serratia Marcescens, which thrive in humid conditions. We know that people with weakened immune systems are so much more vulnerable to the illnesses associated with infection and let's face it, none of us go into the shower with an expectation that we might get sick. So how do we keep those shower walls clean? Well let's think big – BIG TILES. Porcelanosa have developed XXL Hygienic Ceramic Tiles that are 5 feet long - which means just one piece fits the wall of a shower or tub surround. XTONE Porcelain slabs are 10 feet high which means a floor to ceiling surface with no joints. Why does this matter? Well hygienic glaze will not harbor pathogen and surface impurities are easily removed to prevent build up – it is reassuring to know the evidence - INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS Test ISO 10545 - Resistance to Stains -  has determined these surfaces can be easily cleaned and the most difficult contaminants washed away, greatly reducing the need for aggressive chemicals. Think about this. When we unload our dishwasher our ceramic tableware is sparkling clean, sanitized and fresh to use - again and again. The principle is the same with large ceramic walls - So, when planning the shower surrounds for your facilities please reach out to Porcelanosa. The designer in you will love the incredible options and your specification will deliver the longest & best lifecycle value bar none.

But Chinese Canadians are barred from joining the army out of fear they might expect citizenship in return. So, Josiah heads to the shipyard where he finds work as a riveter, fastening together the ribs and steel plates of Victory ships. One night, Josiah spots Poppy singing at a navy club. Despite their different backgrounds, they fall for each other instantly, and soon Josiah is spending his nights at Poppy's small wartime house. Their starry-eyed romance lasts until Poppy's father comes to visit and the harsh reality of their situation is made clear. Determined to prove himself to Poppy, her parents, and the world, Josiah travels to Toronto where he's finally given the chance to enlist.

#443 What if you could skip the struggle of starting a business from scratch — and still become your own boss? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, we sit down with Ryan Gasaway, a former corporate executive turned franchise consultant, who shares how franchising helped him take back control of his time, income, and lifestyle. Ryan walks us through his personal journey of investing in a quick service restaurant, the common misconceptions around franchising, and why you don't need millions — or even a brick-and-mortar location — to get started. We explore the types of franchises that are thriving today, the importance of aligning your business with your lifestyle goals, and how to navigate the process from discovery to ownership. Whether you're curious about service-based businesses, want a lower-cost entry into entrepreneurship, or are wondering if franchising could be your path to freedom, this episode is packed with practical insights you won't want to miss! What we discuss with Ryan: + Corporate burnout to franchise success + Franchising vs. building from scratch + Low-cost, service-based franchise options + Common misconceptions about franchising + Franchise funding and SBA loans + Brick-and-mortar vs. home-based models + Choosing the right franchise fit + Passive income myths debunked + Benefits of built-in support and training + Evaluating territory and market saturation Thank you, Ryan!

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right things—posting consistently, grinding day in and day out, hustling hard—but still not getting the traction you hoped for? Maybe you've thought about starting a podcast or launching a business, but the road ahead feels foggy, full of risk, and just plain overwhelming. If you're nodding your head, then this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast is about to be your new favorite listen.In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Travis Chappell—a seasoned entrepreneur, top-ranked podcaster, and founder and CEO of Guestio, a platform that helps podcasters and content creators book high-level guests easily. Travis has built a name for himself in the podcasting space, and now he's making bold moves into brick-and-mortar businesses. What's interesting is that instead of chasing flashy, high-risk startups, Travis is leaning into stable, “boring” business models—and turning them into serious cash machines. Yeah, we're talking laundromats, self-storage, and other “unsexy” businesses that work.We covered a lot of ground in this convo—from the current state of podcasting to monetization strategies, to AI's impact on the workforce, to navigating the challenges of fatherhood and entrepreneurship. Travis doesn't sugarcoat anything. He talks about the reality of building a podcast and why consistency alone isn't enough. He opens up about his journey, including the lessons learned from his time building Guestio, and why he decided to pivot toward more predictable businesses.One major theme that stood out in our chat is that podcasting is still in its infancy. Despite the growth we've seen in recent years, there's still room to make a mark—if you're willing to commit. Travis and I agreed: consistency is just the entry fee. You've got to commit to getting better over time, treating your show like a business, and playing the long game. Travis shared that when he started, he made a non-negotiable commitment to release three interviews per week for two years—no questions asked. That level of dedication is what separates the dabblers from the doers.When it comes to monetizing your podcast, Travis simplified it in a way that cuts through all the noise. There are only two ways: sell your stuff, or sell someone else's. Whether it's your products, courses, services—or affiliate offers and sponsorships—you have to get clear on which direction you're headed. Stop waiting for downloads to magically turn into dollars. Build an offer, create value, and promote it intentionally.But perhaps the most refreshing part of our conversation was Travis's take on where real business opportunity lies today. We're in a world obsessed with innovation, yet Travis is proving that tried-and-true models are often the fastest way to freedom. Think about it: buying a small business with steady cash flow, minimal competition, and low bankruptcy rates? That's a way smarter play than risking everything on a flashy startup. And with tools like AI entering the scene, you can now make those traditional businesses even more efficient. Automate the boring stuff. Lower your costs. Increase margins. Scale smart. We also got real about personal life—especially the pressure to “do it all.” As dads and entrepreneurs, it's easy to feel guilty. Guilty when you're working and not with your kids. Guilty when you're home and not grinding. But as Travis shared so powerfully: wherever you are, be there. If you're with your family, be fully present. Don't be glued to your phone. And if you're working, be focused without regret. Balance isn't about perfect harmony—it's about intentionality and owning your cycles of focus.So if you've been on the fence about starting a podcast, launching a new venture, or rethinking how you spend your time, this episode is a must-listen. Travis delivers practical wisdom, honest advice, and a refreshing perspective that'll challenge how you view success.In this episode, we cover:The State of Podcasting: Is It Too Late to Start?Common Mistakes New Podcasters MakeMonetizing Your Podcast: Strategies and InsightsThe Value of Podcasting Beyond MonetizationGuestio: The Journey and Lessons LearnedTransitioning from Tech to Brick and Mortar BusinessesAdvice for Young Entrepreneurs: Starting SmartThe Importance of Timing in Selling a BusinessFinal Thoughts and Reflections on EntrepreneurshipIdentifying Opportunities in Boring BusinessesThe Role of Technology in Business InnovationThe Impact of AI on IndustriesNavigating Fatherhood and EntrepreneurshipThe Essence of Happy HustlingWhat does happy Hustlin mean to you? Travis says it's not putting off happiness for some elusive future date in the guise of pursuing status now. think, I think just too many people think that it's like, well, I'll worry about happiness once I'm done with this thing. Or once I, once I have 10 million in the bank, then I'll worry about happiness. And it's like, well, that's not exactly how happiness is.Connect with Travishttps://www.instagram.com/travischappell/https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell/https://twitter.com/traviscchappellhttps://www.facebook.com/traviscchappellhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0ex2Vz6Jj9cTSiHy7KTICAFind Travis on this website: https://travischappell.com/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.
