Podcasts about Byers

In 1968, a St. Louis criminal named Russell Byers found himself in the middle of a conspiracy to kill Martin Luther King. Before his death earlier this year, Byers spoke to St. Louis native and filmmaker Nina Gilden Seavey about the moment he was offered $50,000. He also revealed something he never told the FBI during its official investigations in the 1970s: that he had discussed the bounty before King's death. Seavey talks about the significance of that timing, details in recently unsealed FBI files, and why she maintains the “Byers Bounty” is a real conspiracy rather than a conspiracy theory.

This book names people who I knew or knew of in Silicon Valley. It is a reaction to the author's time at Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and Byers. He was part of the team that financed Google and co-founded Drugstore.com during the dot-com frenzy. He was actively involved with Jeff Bezos at Amazon. The prevailing wisdom was simple: raise as much capital as possible, scale at breakneck speed, and worry about profitability later. At the heart of the book is the Evergreen model, a philosophy of building companies that last “and last and last.” Whorton outlines the Evergreen 7Ps® framework, which includes:• Purpose: A mission beyond personal wealth creation.• Perseverance: Commitment to long-term endurance.• People First: Prioritizing employees, customers, and communities.• Profitability: Growth funded through cash flow, not endless rounds of dilution.• Private: Freedom from public market pressures.• Pacience: A deliberate pace, resisting the frenzy of blitzscaling.• Philosophy: A values-driven approach to leadershipReject the false binary. You don't have to choose between hypergrowth or irrelevance. Many founders feel pressured to pursue VC funding even when their business fundamentals don't align. Evergreen offers a viable third path.--------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

On this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank Lourence (@franklourence79) teams up with Jonathan to walk through Stranger Things seasons 1 through 4 so you are fully refreshed before season 5 lands. The two revisit the early days in Hawkins, the rise of the Mind Flayer, the Starcourt Mall showdown, and Vecna's terrifying curse, mixing clean plot recaps with personal memories and reactions. Along the way they talk about why the show's '80s nostalgia still works, how characters like Hopper, Billy, Max, and Eddie evolved, and what they hope to see in the final season. They close by sharing release timing details, how they plan to watch the finale, and why Stranger Things sits next to the best Stephen King style stories on TV. Timestamps & Topics 00:00 – Welcome to Challenge Accepted & episode setup Frank explains that this is a special Stranger Things recap segment originally from Geek Freaks, now on the Challenge Accepted feed, and previews the upcoming Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving special. 01:00 – Season 1 recap – Disappearance, the Upside Down, and Eleven Jonathan reads through season 1, covering Will's disappearance, Joyce's light communication, Hopper's first trip into the lab, the Upside Down, the Demogorgon, and Eleven's apparent sacrifice. 03:15 – What made season 1 a phenomenon Frank and Jonathan talk about the show's early "word of mouth" buzz, the glow of kids playing Dungeons & Dragons, and how Stranger Things helped define Netflix binge culture. 04:20 – Season 2 recap – The Mind Flayer and Eleven's lost sister arc Season 2 gets broken down: Will's visions, the Mind Flayer connection, Max and Billy's arrival, Eleven hiding with Hopper, the demi-dogs, closing the gate, and the Snowball Dance stinger. 06:35 – Reactions to season 2 and the "other test subjects" detour They revisit the backlash to Eleven's trip to meet other numbered kids, why the revenge-crew idea did not land for many fans, and how that may have changed the show's direction. 08:55 – Season 3 recap – Starcourt Mall and Billy's tragic turn Season 3's mall setting, Russian base under Starcourt, Billy's possession, the Mind Flayer's flesh monster, Hopper's apparent death, and the Byers family leaving Hawkins with Eleven. 12:45 – Why season 3 might be the best season Frank explains why Starcourt is his favorite arc, from mall nostalgia and growing independence for the kids to Dustin and Steve's unlikely friendship and Billy's late redemption. 15:20 – Season 4 recap – Vecna, Russia, Nina, and Max's escape Frank recaps season 4 in detail, including Chrissy's death, Eddie and the Hellfire Club, Vecna's curse, the Creel house, Eleven's Nina Project memories, Hopper's Russian prison story, and the massive rift tearing through Hawkins. 19:20 – Running Up That Hill, splitting the cast, and season rankings They revisit the viral Max sequence with Kate Bush, talk about how big and cinematic season 4 feels, and debate whether splitting the cast across Hawkins, California, and Russia helped or hurt the show. 21:15 – Nostalgia done right vs cheap reboots Frank and Jonathan compare Stranger Things to Stephen King stories and shows like Welcome to Derry, and talk about why "vibes" and visual language beat straight remakes of '80s properties. 25:00 – Looking ahead to Stranger Things season 5 Speculation about the final season, how the now-older cast will work, excitement for the three-part holiday release plan, and hopes for one last big, emotional Hawkins story. 27:00 – Outro and how to get involved Closing thanks, reminders to share thoughts on the new season, and all the ways listeners can connect with Challenge Accepted and support the show. Key Takeaways Stranger Things still holds up as a complete story about friendship, trauma, and growing up, not just an '80s nostalgia showcase. Season 1 set the tone with a simple missing kid mystery anchored by Joyce, Hopper, and the kids discovering the Upside Down. Season 2 expanded the lore with the Mind Flayer and Will's possession, but the "other test subjects" storyline remains divisive. Season 3's Starcourt Mall arc delivers the most complete season for Frank, combining great character work, a grounded villain in Billy, and a huge finale. Season 4 is the darkest and biggest chapter so far, with Vecna tying the entire series together and pushing characters like Max, Eddie, and Eleven to their breaking points. Hopper's evolution from troubled sheriff to adoptive dad and tragic hero is one of the emotional cores of the show. The series succeeds because it captures the feeling of classic adventure stories like The Goonies and Stephen King adaptations without copying them beat for beat. With season 5 on the horizon, expectations are high for Stranger Things to stick the landing as a modern genre classic. Memorable Quotes "They made this big mystery and you wanted to solve it." "This was the first time that binging became a thing, like a huge step for Netflix." "Max was a big introduction here, and you could tell they were setting up more seasons." "Starcourt Mall was such a good setting. That was the place where you had ten bucks in your pocket and felt richer than anything in the world." "Running Up That Hill broke the internet. That whole Max scene is just unreal." "It is not the same song, but it sounds familiar. These kids sound like The Goonies."

Come and celebrate Accessibility Sunday! On this special day, we remember that sometimes people can feel left out because of stairs, or hard to read words, or not being able to hear, or because people don't understand their needs. Sometimes we can't see what someone needs but our calling as a church is to be like Jesus, making sure everyone is included, and that church is a place where no one feels left out. We'll be hearing from three of our members about what accessibility means to them. We will also be celebrating our recent designation by the United Church of Christ as a congregation that is Accessible to All (A2A). A2A is the terminology used within the UCC to refer to congregations that have completed the Accessible to All process and thereby made the commitment to be physically and attitudinally welcoming of people with disabilities. The A2A process has for many years been defined by the A2A resource “Any Body, Everybody, Christ's Body” Link to Livestream: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUk6jFv9Gno⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Link to Start of Reflection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUk6jFv9Gno&t=2650sIf you are new to our faith community and are interested in learning more, please go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Welcome to First Congo Online - First Congregational Church of Western Springs
