Lara and Carey find themselves back on the scorched sands of Utah for another chapter in the Book of Salty Queens. First, they discuss the cheese wheel making a splash in Hollywood, which foods Lara and Carey would sign if they were agents, a harrowing new organic supermarket in Tribeca, Lara's theoretical tenure as a chic grocer, Trump calling a reporter a “piggy,” and more. On RHOSLC, the ladies (minus Meredith and Baby Girl Lisa) assemble at Wild Rose's for a surprise potluck to cheer up Britani. From high body count hair to a Build-A-Bear workshop complete with inspirational recordings for Brit, the women try to pull her out of her post-Meredith and Lisa tag team depression. Bronwyn provides an update on her mini-separation from Todd as Wild Rose continues to provide Entity with souls. Lisa and John Barlow's tense lunch exposes more bumps in their marriage and Daddy John's shadow side. Britani and Jared pause their 30-day fast for a dramatic walk by a serial killer creek as Jared continues to break Britani's brain. Then, Mary gathers all the women (minus Britani) at her church to watch her deliver her first fiery sermon in years, uniting them in the divine and preparing them for the battle to come.

When Sharon Price John was a kid, she spent a summer determined to climb a massive tree. After several falls, she reached the top, only to realize she didn't know how to get down. As darkness fell, she jumped into the pine needles below and learned a lasting lesson: tough goals can be fun. Years later, that same mindset guided her as CEO of Build-A-Bear Workshop, a company that was $49 million in the red. Instead of retreating, she climbed again, leading one of retail's greatest comebacks.

Fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dead inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to chart-topping singer D4vd — but what happened between the day she disappeared and the moment that car was opened has remained one of the most disturbing mysteries of 2025. In this new Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski breakdown, we go through everything the private investigator on the case, Steve Fischer, has revealed so far — what's confirmed, what's speculation, and what could change everything. From the Build-A-Bear certificate dated just days after Celeste was first reported missing… to a Six Flags roller-coaster video filmed the very same day… to items discovered inside a Hollywood Hills rental home that Fischer says “had no place being there,” this episode lays out the timeline of red flags and unanswered questions piece by piece. We separate what's officially verified by police from what's alleged by the investigator — and explore Fischer's working theory that Celeste's death may have been an accidental overdose followed by a devastating cover-up. No arrests. No suspects. No final cause of death. Just a 14-year-old girl, a celebrity's Tesla, and a silence that keeps getting louder. If you care about truth, accountability, and the systems that fail vulnerable kids, this is the one you need to hear.

MTV didn't die — we killed it by scrolling. In this week's episode of BRANDED Weekly, Ben Kaplan breaks down how nostalgia, dopamine, and brand emotion are reshaping business. From MTV's collapse to Build-A-Bear's 2,000% stock surge, Chili's viral mozzarella moment, and Michael Jordan's $70M jet, we explore the one metric that now decides who wins: attention. The real question? In 2025, how much is your brand's emotion worth?

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!What if your photo books could talk back? Not with another app or QR code maze, but with a small, tactile device that lets you record and play stories, songs, and memories at the press of a button. The Dead Pixels Society sits down with Geoffrey Stern, the founder of Voice Gift and the longtime audio mind behind Build‑A‑Bear's wildly successful “sounds,” to unpack how voice transforms printed images into living experiences—and why that shift boosts both emotion and sales.Stern explains the psychology behind audio as a memory trigger and the practical reasons customers finish purchases when they add their own voice: ownership deepens, abandonment drops, and the keepsake becomes personal. He discusses VoiceGift Play, a $59 handheld recorder that ties numbered audio tracks to photo pages, framed prints, wedding albums, travel books, and recipe collections—no apps, Wi‑Fi, or screens required. With 10 hours of storage, USB‑C backup, and standard MP3 files, it's simple to share recordings across multiple copies or import music like a wedding playlist to soundtrack an album. There's also a kids' version with pictograms and stickers that turns storytime into an interactive, confidence‑building ritual, and accessibility use cases ranging from braille overlays to guided routines for dementia care.Along the way, we talk about the shift from digital overload to analog delight, the “don't add steps” mantra for photo retailers, and how self‑playing audio breathes new life into printed products without complicating production.

Build-A-Bear Workshop turned birthday rituals and heart ceremonies into a growth engine, with its stock up about 1,900 percent in five years and domestic store traffic up 3 percent while the national benchmark fell. Paula revisits her conversation with CTO Dara Meath to unpack the experience-first model, the rapid 18-month digital sprint from mobile POS to 2D/3D visualization, and the rise of the “kidult” that powers higher-value collecting and gifting. From clever social drops like the Fruit Stand to a culture that “sells stories, not items,” this episode breaks down how emotion, omnichannel execution, and brand discipline translate into real results.

Ladies, let's talk truth. You don't have to settle. You don't have to reward a man just for being a “good guy.” That's baseline. In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between the Build-a-Bear — the man you have to fix, motivate, and carry — and the Elite Man, who's already in his purpose, ready to pour into your life, and equipped to lead, love, and protect you. I'm sharing how I went from attracting broken, draining relationships to being married to my best friend — an elite man who believes in me, invests in me, and makes my life softer and more abundant every single day. You'll learn the exact energetic balance that magnetizes a high-value man, and how to clear the subconscious love blocks that have been keeping you from the love that's already calling your name. Because here's the truth: real love isn't luck, it's alignment. When you embody your feminine energy, you naturally attract the man who was designed for you — the one who will love your soul and build an empire with you. This is your sign to stop settling for potential and start receiving partnership. Your elite man is already waiting — it's time you align with the frequency of love that matches your worth.

What if choosing your asset allocation was as personal as your life story—and as consequential as your retirement? In this episode, we are joined by PWL Capital's Louai Bibi and Ben Wilson for a deep dive into how advisors guide clients through the most important portfolio decision they'll ever make. Louai walks us through the research, psychology, and planning frameworks behind determining the right stock/bond mix, while Ben shares real-world insights from client cases where risk tolerance, pensions, and life events shifted the balance. We explore how Monte Carlo simulations stress-test financial plans, why spouses often disagree on risk, and how pensions act as “bond-like assets” in the bigger picture. Ben Wilson also takes us behind the scenes of PWL's post-OneDigital acquisition journey, revealing why advisors are drawn to join the firm, how succession planning shapes their choices, and why a unified evidence-based philosophy matters in Canada's wealth management landscape. The episode wraps with a fascinating look at surprising stock return outliers—like Build-A-Bear outperforming Nvidia—and what that teaches us about the futility of stock-picking versus the power of diversification. Key Points From This Episode:   (0:01:00) Introducing PWL's Louai Bibi and Ben Wilson—today's topics: asset allocation, advisor succession, and surprising stock return data. (0:03:35) Louai explains the asset allocation decision: balancing stocks vs. bonds and why it's the biggest choice investors make. (0:05:12) Why asset allocation matters: inflation erodes purchasing power, and stocks/bonds help investors keep up or outpace it. (0:06:50) Historical lessons: $1 invested since 1970—outcomes for bonds, balanced portfolios, and 100% equities. (0:08:35) The risks of downturns: 2008 as a case study in how stocks vs. bonds shape losses and recovery times. (0:11:39) Risk tolerance questionnaires: how PWL uses surveys to gauge willingness vs. capacity to take risk. (0:13:45) When spouses disagree on risk tolerance—balancing perspectives and sometimes splitting portfolios. (0:16:42) Risk capacity: pensions, insurance, income stability, and emergency funds all shape asset allocation. (0:20:08) Real client cases: retirees discovering they don't need as much stock exposure, or elderly clients increasing equity later in life. (0:22:47) How often do clients change asset allocations? Rarely—except for life events like retirement. (0:27:10) Why Monte Carlo simulations are essential for stress-testing financial plans beyond straight-line projections. (0:30:20) PWL's “asset allocation email”: summarizing risks, pensions, debt, emergency funds, and personalized tradeoffs. (0:34:02) Pensions as “bond-like assets”—how they increase ability but decrease need to take risk. (0:37:11) Closing thoughts from Louai: think in dollar terms, investing is a marathon, and build confidence gradually. (0:39:32) Education shifts clients' choices: some reduce risk after learning the realities of volatility, others increase equity exposure with context. (0:43:10) Advisor “fixed effects”: research shows the advisor's own perspective strongly shapes client allocations. (0:45:39) Transition to Ben Wilson: what motivates advisors to join PWL post-OneDigital acquisition. (0:47:52) Reputation and content: how Rational Reminder, YouTube, blogs, and Canadian Couch Potato attract advisors. (0:50:34) PWL's unified philosophy: evidence-based, passive investing with a planning-first approach. (0:56:30) Key motivators for advisors: reducing admin burdens, escaping “aggregator” models, and building integrated team structures. (1:00:15) Succession planning: why advisors seek peace of mind for their clients and teams by partnering with PWL. (1:03:04) Ben Felix on why these conversations are exciting and why advisors should reach out early. (1:04:54) After show: Nvidia's insane 70% annualized 5-year return—and why lesser-known names like Build-A-Bear, Celestica, and Dillard's did even better. (1:06:33) Celestica's role in DFA funds and how it helped them keep pace with Shopify-driven indexes. (1:09:25) Why broad diversification captures unexpected winners (Build-A-Bear included) without speculation. (1:10:45) Active advisors pitch “winner-picking”—but history shows how impossible that really is. (1:12:16) Reviews and wrap-up.

Ever been outmaneuvered by an 8-year-old? When one dad tried to surprise his daughter with a new bike for her birthday, he never expected her calculated response: "I already have a bike, and bikes are very expensive. Maybe I could just get a phone." What followed was a masterclass in child negotiation that left him with bags of Stitch merchandise and a daughter who still managed to get her coveted Build-A-Bear from grandma the next day.The dads dive deep into the financial fears that accompany parenthood—a conversation rarely had openly but universally experienced. From starting businesses while raising newborns to unexpected job losses coinciding with pregnancy announcements, they share raw stories about making ends meet when it feels impossible. Their collective wisdom? You'll never feel financially "ready" for kids, but you'll find ways to make it work. Whether it's developing simple saving habits, having honest conversations with your partner about money values, or adjusting expectations about what your family truly needs versus wants.Between negotiating with car salesmen (who the guys describe as "mostly douches, sorry not sorry") and navigating the complex world of family budgeting, the conversation turns to what truly matters. One father shares a powerful moment when his son wished they were rich, only to quickly change his mind after learning more money would mean seeing his parents less. Meanwhile, another dad finds unexpected joy in introducing his children to classic comedies like Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura, creating moments of connection that transcend any financial concerns. Because at the end of the day, your presence matters more than presents. Subscribe now to join these honest conversations about the messy, beautiful reality of modern fatherhood.

This week we're talking meltdowns at Build-A-Bear, summer ‘homeschooling' and why handing your toddler a sponge might actually be more life-changing than giving them another sticker chart. We're diving into what Harvard says is the actual secret to raising confident kids—While getting real about the messiness of teaching independence, the emotional rollercoaster that is raising small humans, and why sometimes your greatest parenting win is simply not losing it in public.

Ever wonder what happens when you give a wizard a housecat and poor impulse control? We did—and now the kobold population is down one. Need a Dungeon Master who can outwit your rogue, outdrink your barbarian, and out-Greek the gods themselves? Book DM Adamantine—Nick Fotopoulos, the myth, the legend, the man who once statted out a haunted souvlaki stand. Whether you're in Athens, on vacation, or hiding from your dice curse, Nick runs D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire: The Masquerade, and more—online or in-person, tailored to your party's wildest dreams (or darkest regrets). Visit www.dungeonmasteradamantine.comor summon him directly at StartPlaying He's got minis, maps, madness—and yes, he's fluent in both Greek and goblin. Episode Summary In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the gang dives whiskers-first into the magical, mystical, and occasionally murderous world of familiars in tabletop RPGs. From Pathfinder to D&D and beyond, we examine what happens when your arcane support animal becomes the party MVP—or a tragic footnote in the kobold kill count. Ash tries to argue that the toad is a viable combat companion. Tyler reminds us that the hawk definitely doesn't have thumbs. Randall... well, Randall has a deeply concerning attachment to his fox, whom he insists is “just a little guy, your honor.” Expect practical advice, chaotic anecdotes, and passionate hot takes on why your next spellcaster should come with a built-in critter co-pilot. Key Takeaways Familiars are more than flavor: These aren't just spellbook-warming fluffballs—they can scout, deliver spells, and manipulate the action economy if you build them right. Pick the right pet for the job: Owls? Great for flyby tactics. Frogs? Great for... ambiance. Imp? Great for morally questionable espionage and tax evasion. Don't get them killed: Familiars may be magically bound, but they're emotionally expensive. Losing one mid-dungeon isn't just tragic—it's also a wasted action economy investment and possibly a therapy bill. In Pathfinder 2e: The familiar system is highly customizable—think of it like Build-A-Bear with spell slots. Choose abilities like "Deliver a Touch Spell" or "Can Lick Its Own Eyebrows" depending on your tactical goals. Familiars are not Pokémon: You cannot legally send them into battle for XP farming. You can, however, use them as adorable bait. The ethical line is blurry, but the kobolds are definitely distracted. Beware of DM interpretation: That squirrel familiar might be RAW legal, but if your DM hates rodents, you will be hunted by owlbears. Plan accordingly. You can give your familiar a name, but not a pension: Remember—if you're going to bond with the ferret that ferries fireballs, don't forget a cute name.

This week on More or Less, we debate whether tech culture is unwatchable, why “Substacker” might be the last job standing, and if Build-A-Bear is secretly the next great AI company (move over, Nvidia). Plus: the real risks of self-driving Teslas on field trips, the myth of the “everything app,” and why the future just might be all about vibes. Come for the hot takes, stay for the man cave updates.Takeways: - The film 'Mountain Head' received mixed reviews, with some finding it unwatchable.- Substack's CEO predicts that 'substacker' will be one of the six main jobs in the future.- AI is expected to lower the cost of content creation, making it easier for creators to enter various industries.- The competitive nature of the content creation landscape. There is a significant barrier to entry regarding truth in the creator economy.- Authenticity is crucial for creators when launching products.- Build-A-Bear exemplifies how a brand can leverage AI for future growth.- Self-driving technology raises important safety and ethical questions, especially for children.- Investors are often driven by the potential for market cap expansion, thus creating the narrative of an "everything app"- The future of technology will likely involve more personalized and specialized solutions.We're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moreorlesspodConnect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/britChapters:00:00 The Rise of Personalized Robotics02:55 Home Renovations and the Ultimate Man Cave05:45 Critique of Mountain Head: A Cinematic Disappointment08:55 The Future of Work: Substack and Creator Economy12:00 AI's Impact on Content Creation and Distribution14:57 The Evolution of Creator Brands and Product Authenticity18:08 The Supplement Market: Trends and Concerns20:55 Hardware Innovations: AR, VR, and Snap's Future27:55 The Future of Snap and OpenAI's Potential Acquisitions30:02 Innovative Wearables and the Concept of the E-Cane33:07 Build-A-Bear: The Unexpected AI Company35:59 The Everything App: Future of Digital Consolidation40:00 Elon Musk's PR Strategies and Tesla's Self-Driving Technology47:58 AI in Everyday Life: Unique Applications and Experiences
