One company thinks they've cracked the code.In this episode of Bricks & Bytes, we sit down with Alex Gample, co-founder of Cuby, who's tackling America's housing shortage with a radical approach: containerized micro-factories that can be deployed anywhere to manufacture homes at $100-110 per square foot—significantly cheaper than traditional construction.Key topics discussed:How Cuby's mobile micro-factories work and why they chose a distributed model over gigafactoriesThe company's ambitious plan to deploy 275 factories over the next decadeWhy construction productivity hasn't improved in decades while other industries have transformedHow they're using unskilled labor with advanced software guidance to replace skilled construction workersThe regulatory challenges that have killed previous housing innovation attemptsTheir partnership model with local developers and the economics behind itWhy Eastern European engineering talent is giving them a 7-10x cost advantageThe three-phase master plan from factory deployment to vertical integration"For every seven folks that now retire from the construction industry, only one replaces them... nine out of 10 times no one even has in their immediate circle someone that swings a hammer."Discover how Cuby is reimagining homebuilding from the ground up, why their "antithesis" approach might succeed where others have failed, and what it could mean for making homeownership accessible again.

An actor is very fortunate to have a multi-season run on a series. An actor is even more fortunate to get to see a series through to its natural conclusion. Lauren Cohan went above and beyond that with her Walking Dead journey. Not only did she play Maggie in over 100 episodes of the main series, but then she got to go on to headline a spin-off series opposite Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and that spin-off series earned her her very first executive producing credit and now her very first directing credit as well. She's a key component of one of the biggest television empires ever created, and she's making the most of the opportunities that franchise affords her - opportunities she's earned.The Walking Dead: Dead City picks up a number of years after the events of the main series. When Hershel (Logan Kim) is kidnapped by the Croat (Željko Ivanek) and taken to Manhattan, Maggie must turn to Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) for help. While Maggie does manage to make it off the island with Hershel, Negan is pressured to remain by The Dama (Lisa Emery). Season 2 kicks off about a year later with the New Babylon Federation conscripting the residents of The Bricks to head into Manhattan for an expeditionary mission tied to their agenda to ultimately retake it. Maggie agrees to go, but only if no one else from her community is forced to do the same. So back to Manhattan she goes, along with a stubborn Ginny (Mahina Napoleon) and a stowaway Hershel.After powering through five episodes of Season 2 as an executive producer and playing Maggie trying to survive yet another perilous mission in the Big Apple, the time has some for Cohan to put on yet another hat. With the release of Season 2, Episode 6, “Bridge Partners Are Hard to Come by These Days,” she is officially a director. In celebration of the milestone achievement, Cohan joined me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to discuss her early days on The Walking Dead, her experience advocating for herself when her initial series regular contract concluded, how she approached stepping into the executive producer role with Dead City, and how she felt about taking on an extremely ambitious episode for her very first venture as a director.

In this episode of Retire with Style, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia explore real assets- focusing on real estate and infrastructure- and their role in retirement portfolios. They discuss the pros and cons of residential and commercial property ownership, the value of REITs, and the potential of infrastructure investments. The conversation highlights the importance of diversification and understanding the risk-return tradeoffs of these asset classes. Listen now to learn more! Takeaways Real assets—like real estate and infrastructure—can play a valuable role in retirement portfolios. These assets can improve portfolio efficiency by enhancing return relative to risk. REITs offer accessible exposure to real estate without requiring accredited investor status. Owning residential property often requires active management and can feel more like a job than a passive investment. Commercial real estate tends to provide more stable income through longer-term leases. Infrastructure investments can offer steady cash flows and some protection against inflation. Diversification remains key to effectively managing portfolio risk. 1031 exchanges allow investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling real estate. Water rights represent a niche but growing area of investment opportunity.

By Clint Porter - Everyone loves a good building project. However, God does not build the same way the great empires of man do. Let's trace the Biblical theme of two opposing cities from Babel to Bethel, on through the founding of the Church on Pentecost and finally to the New Jerusalem.
In this episode of the Post Status Happiness Hour, host Michelle Frechette interviews Zach Hendershot, creator of Miruni, a tool designed to streamline client feedback and project management for web developers, especially within the WordPress ecosystem. Zach explaining how Miruni automates mundane tasks, allowing developers to focus on strategic work. The episode highlights Miruni's features, such as capturing client requests and automating edits, and touches on future enhancements like automated SEO optimization and advanced client communication. The discussion underscores Miruni's potential to enhance efficiency and client satisfaction.Top Takeaways:Miruni is Built to Streamline Client Feedback for Agencies: Miruni enables clients to leave feedback directly on live websites by clicking and commenting, which then creates a structured request in the agency's dashboard. This direct, contextual input eliminates miscommunication, reduces friction, and speeds up the revision cycle.Transparency and Communication Are Core to Its Value Proposition: One of the standout benefits is accountability: Miruni provides a record of what clients requested. Agencies get a traceable history of requests, improving trust and transparency.The Platform Is Actively Evolving Based on Real-World Use and Community Feedback: Miruni is addressing practical challenges like mismatched image formats, file size optimization, and the need for better reporting. The team is responsive to feature requests—like client change logs and multi-user identification—and is working to enhance collaboration tools, user roles, and automation without sacrificing human oversight or quality.The Miruni Team Is Approachable and Focused on Helping Agencies Succeed: Zach emphasized their openness to demos, direct support, and ongoing learning from users. Their hands-on, collaborative approach makes them a valuable partner for agencies navigating complex client relationships and content workflows.Mentioned In The Show:MiruniElementorBreakdanceBricksDiviBeaver BuilderHubspot

What happens when a hands-on business no longer fits your hands-full life as a mom? In this inspiring episode, Tamara Auer shares how she courageously transitioned from running a brick-and-mortar massage therapy practice to building a freedom-based online business that works for her — not the other way around. If you've ever wondered whether you can really support your health, family, and legacy at the same time … this one's for you. Important Links: Momergy Essentials - Home | Momergy Essentials Iva Perez - The Momergy Movement Desiree Gonzalez - Oily Essentials Follow us on: Facebook Facebook Mom Bosses Abroad Instagram@Mom.bosses.abroad Instagram @MomergyMovement Instagram @desiree_oilyessentials Instagram Guest Bio With a passion for health and wellness, Tamara is a professional massage therapist and is currently completing a Bachelor of Health Science. Becoming a mother at almost 40, she knew she wanted to spend those important first years with her son without the burden and sacrifice of working full time in her business. She chose to pursue high ticket affiliate marketing with a company that aligns deeply with her health values, allowing her to continue to financially contribute to her family, whilst being fully present at home with her son. This has allowed her to connect and contribute to women that are also looking to create a balanced lifestyle of family, finances and career as well as provide the freedom to choose when and how she would return to her heart-led massage practice.

In the aftermath of the May 16 tornado in St. Louis, social media feeds have been filled with photos of the devastation, lists of ways people can help, and pleas for folks to protect any bricks that may have fallen off their homes and businesses: “Don't let them come and take your bricks.” And for good reason — a pallet of bricks sells for about $270. But the bricks aren't just financially valuable: They symbolize a bond of people to place. In this episode, we talk about the ongoing work to help residents affected by the tornado and the effort to safeguard people's bricks from those looking to capitalize on the tragedy.

We call it "training" for a reason and we should be "practicing" in a way that sets us up for a better race. That can mean getting out into the heat and wind more often, or visualizing your race at certain points of your workouts. How will you respond when you get hot or feel underfueled? Outside training with heat and wind and distractions and people and cars and whatever can also lead to a higher anxiety level. Are you putting yourself into situations that will pay off with the race? Today we dive into the importance of heat, wind, anxiety and stress acclimation to make you stronger and more successful on race day. Topics: Sticky and humid Dropping down your run in heat Swims cancelled in 70.3's Heat acclimation ideas How do you "feel" when you get hot. Can you calm it down? The anxiety of outside training Wean yourself into the heat The Ironman marathon Creat a good relationship with bad conditions Who's gonna make the best decisions on race day? The mentality of heat training Bricks are for learning and practice Outsmart the competition Start off slow How can I make this workout feel better as I go?

We discuss the upcoming Super Mario Brothers movie sequel, "Super Mario World," and potential future titles for any sequels. Nintendo's updated EULA, allowing them to render devices unusable for cheating or using ROMs, causes some debate. We question the implications of "bricking" and the risk of false positives. And if Nintendo is even thinking about that. We talk about expensive boats, like the pirate ship in Elder Scrolls Online, and some additional talk about digital ownership and fake scarcity. “The Legend of Zelda” themed Dear Martha. Let's talk about “Doom: The Dark Ages,” comparing it to the last two.
