In this episode of Top 100 Clubhouse, James and Jasper sit down with amateur golfer and golf videographer Luke Hodgetts to explore the game through the lens of a competitive amateur player. From storytelling in golf videography to filming at Royal Melbourne, Luke shares how his perspective has evolved, and how his playing style informs how much he enjoys the architecture of a course. Jasper also provides us with deep bunker insight, and briefly explores why different players might prefer strategic vs. penal designs. Top 100 Golf Courses Website

Join the conversation for an in-depth exploration of real-time spirit communication with Ron Yacovetti, co-founder of GonYac Paranormal. This episode goes far beyond traditional paranormal investigation, diving into the fascinating intersection of technology and metaphysics to explore how consciousness survives physical death. Listeners will discover: * The Evolution of EVP: How the methodology transitioned from traditional, sweeping spirit boxes to pioneering the Digital Séance Experience using Direct Radio Voice (DRV). * The Science of Static: A breakdown of how clear, anomalous voices are captured using filtered analog white noise—completely free of radio signals, sound banks, or microphone inputs. * Analytic Idealism: A deep, thought-provoking discussion on the philosophy that reality is fundamentally mental, and how this framework perfectly supports the survival of consciousness and real-time spirit communication. * Undeniable Evidence: Heartwarming and emotional stories of real-time validations, including a skeptical retired police officer brought to tears by messages from his grandparents and a grieving mother receiving an impossible-to-know message about the sugar-free cookies she had just baked. * Ethics in the Afterlife: A candid conversation on the importance of integrity in the paranormal field, and the strong opposition to the "ambulance chasing" trend of exploiting recent tragedies for views. * Signs from Beyond: Comforting insights into synchronicities, like finding dimes, and how they serve as profound reminders that our loved ones are still connected to us through a universal consciousness.

What if exposure through a lens wasn't about performance… but about self-celebration? Not about looking perfect… but about remembering who you are?In this expansive and beautifully honest conversation, I chat with outdoor boudoir photographer, Wren Morrow, about exposure, embodiment, and what happens when women stop performing and start remembering.We explore:– The difference between performance and presence– Why social conditioning keeps women critiquing their bodies– How nature helps us drop the persona and return to our ancient self– Photography as a portal — not to perfection, but to remembrance– Simple ways to reconnect with your body and send light where shame once livedWhen we recorded this episode, Wren and I were dreaming out loud.I was about to turn 50 and host a Women's Camping Festival - a weekend of wildness, sisterhood and celebration - and I knew I didn't just want it documented.I wanted it witnessed.So I invited her to come to Australia.To be part of the festival.To work with women in my network.And she said yes.As this episode is released, Wren is here in Australia, collaborating with women who are ready to step beyond social constructs and let nature guide them back to themselves. She's also able to assist with all kinds of photographyIf that's you - reach out.Wren will be in Australia until late April, with some time in Bali during March. If you're curious about working with her while she's here, send me a message or contact her directly via her website/instagram DMs below.This episode is where the magic began -before we stepped through the portal.Connect with WrenWebsite: wrenmorrow.comInstagram: @_wrenmorrowStep Into Your Own Self-CelebrationMy next Pleasure You've Been Missing Pilgrimage begins March 9.It's an 8-week journey into embodiment, pleasure, confidence and reconnection - without apology and without performing.If you'd like details, or want to explore whether it's right for you, email me directly:

In this episode of Stationery Freaks, Rob and Helen dig into the messy, essential world of scrap notes: desk pads, Post-its, legal pads, envelopes, voice memos, and the “grab whatever's nearby” capture habit.They explore the real question beneath the stationery: what's the process for turning a quick note into something useful — and what happens when your capture system becomes a pile of open loops.We cover:Why scrap notes exist: capturing ideas without breaking the momentDesk pads as “work in progress” surfaces (and why that's a feature, not a bug)The threshold problem: forgetting what you went to write down the moment you change roomsAnalog vs digital: how Rob and Helen bounce between bothThe discipline of finishing: why ideas aren't valuable until they become somethingA practical “funnel” approach: backlog → sprouts → now (commitment increases as you narrow)The emotional side: cluttered desks = cluttered minds, and why clearing down helps you thinkListener shout-outs and the surprisingly global reach of Stationery FreaksListener request: Share your stationery “in the wild” or your desk setup on Instagram (doesn't have to be pretty!) and tag @stationeryfreaksuk.We mention:Mark+Fold “Glow” notebookNoted (Substack) by Jillian Hess“Analog Attorney” series (Attorney at Work) by Bull Garlington

He's back! We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Niels to the microphone once again. You know him as the brilliant photographer behind Capturing Disney Parks, a fellow member of the Insidears family, and the co-host of the Air Magique podcast. He joins us for a conversation we have been wanting to have for a very long time. Niels knows Disneyland Paris like the back of his hand. But he has also spent time at Walt Disney World, and even better, he has a trip to Florida on the horizon. We thought it was the perfect moment to put him on the spot and compare the two resorts from every possible angle. We cover a lot of ground in this one. Expect chat about: The sheer size difference and how it changes your approach to planning a holiday Dining reservations and whether you can still be spontaneous Merchandise hunting and the thrill of the exclusive find Head-to-head attraction comparisons, including the two very different versions of Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean Stage shows, including Festival of the Lion King versus Rhythms of the Pride Lands The paid line-skipping systems and how they stack up But we saved the best for last. Right at the end, we asked Niels a question that moves beyond logistics and into something much more personal. It is a curveball about the soul of each resort and how one factor changes EVERYTHING. His answer was worth waiting for. A huge thank you to our sponsor Easy Go Shuttle for making this episode possible.

Li Mei frowned, offering her suggestions.Zh: 就在魏努力布置相机时，门铃响了。En: Just as Wei was adjusting the camera, the doorbell rang.Zh: 开门一看，是一个远方亲戚，穿着一身气球做的滑稽服装。En: Upon opening the door, he saw a distant relative dressed in a comical costume made of balloons.Zh: “这真是有趣的新年装！”张，一向顽皮的小表弟，捧着肚子笑得前仰后合。En: "This is such an interesting New Year outfit!" exclaimed Zhang, their mischievous little cousin, holding his belly as he laughed.Zh: 亲戚的出现让场面一度混乱，小孩们开心地围着他打转，家人们又是一阵哄笑。En: The arrival of the relative led to a brief commotion, with children happily circling around him and the family breaking into laughter.Zh: 魏尽力组织大家，“好，大家往这里看。”En: Wei tried to organize everyone, "Alright, everyone look this way."Zh: “哎呀，有人来抢镜头了！”只见一只小狗突然窜出来，跳上拍照的椅子。En: "Oh no, someone is trying to steal the spotlight!" Suddenly, a little dog darted out and jumped onto the photo-taking chair.Zh: “这是谁家的狗啊？”魏苦笑着问道。En: "Whose dog is this?" Wei asked with a wry smile.Zh: 不远处，张一脸坏笑地拿出一个鞭炮，在大家猝不及防时点燃了。En: Not far away, Zhang, with a mischievous grin, took out a firecracker and lit it when everyone was caught off guard.Zh: “哇！”一声巨响，红光四射，所有人都被吸引住，大笑声瞬间溢满了整个房间。En: "Wow!" With a loud bang, red light flashed, catching everyone's attention, and laughter instantly filled the room.Zh: 在这瞬间，魏按下了拍照按钮。En: At that moment, Wei pressed the shutter button.Zh: 笑声停下后，大家围到相机前，看到屏幕上那张照片：人们惊喜大笑，背景中红光闪烁，远房亲戚装扮滑稽，小狗抬头看天，这一切竟然在这一刻完整地被记录下来。En: After the laughter subsided, everyone gathered around the camera to see the photo on the screen: people laughing with surprise, red light flickering in the background, the distant relative in a funny costume, and the little dog looking up at the sky—all perfectly captured in that moment.Zh: “虽然不完美，但是好有趣。”李梅想了想，说道。En: "Though not perfect, it's so much fun," Li Mei thought aloud.Zh: 魏看着照片，心中感叹，这正是他们家庭的真实生活：混乱、有趣、满满的欢声笑语。En: Wei looked at the photo and realized this was their true family life: chaotic, fun, and full of laughter.Zh: 魏意识到，拍摄完美的全家福并不重要，重要的是这些笑声以及独特的家庭时光。En: Wei understood that capturing a perfect family portrait wasn't important; what mattered were these moments of laughter and unique family times.Zh: 通过这次经历，他学会珍惜这些不完美的瞬间，因为这正是他们彼此之间最真实的联系。En: Through this experience, he learned to cherish these imperfect moments, as they represented the most genuine connection between them.Zh: 春节的夜空中，烟花绚烂，每个人的脸上都洋溢着幸福的微笑。En: In the night sky of the Spring Festival, fireworks lit up brilliantly, and happiness was evident on everyone's face.

This week, I talk with Jon McCormack, the leader behind the iPhone camera at Apple—the most widely used camera in human history. But Jon's story goes far beyond technology. He grew up on a farm in rural Australia without full-time electricity, dropped out of a PhD to chase an unexpected opportunity in tech, helped build Kindle, and founded schools in Kenya that now serve thousands of children. Along the way, he developed a body of photographic work rooted not in spectacle, but in wonder. We talk about letting go of camera snobbery, building technology that empowers rather than exploits, and why beauty and awe make us more generous and connected. If you've ever wrestled with the tension between ambition and meaning—or wondered how to use your success in service of something deeper—this conversation is for you. Let's get to it! In this episode: (00:00) Intro (00:41) From camera snobbery to something deeper (03:34) When Jon realized photography isn't about the gear (06:22) What a photograph means in the age of AI (13:11) The unseen work behind meaningful images (15:51) Beauty, stewardship, and why the environment matters (28:39) Returning to the same landscape—and learning to see (32:16) Growing up in Australia and the roots of Jon's vision (34:38) How colorblindness shaped Jon's sense of pattern and form (36:07) Dropping a PhD and stepping into tech (38:06) A one-way ticket to Seattle—and an unexpected path (40:10) Building products that connect people to what matters (47:45) The double helix of art and technology (52:46) Leading the iPhone camera and democratizing storytelling (59:56) From safari camp conversation to schools in Kenya (01:11:50) Why Jon stayed quiet about his philanthropy until now (01:15:49) Wonder as a daily practice (01:21:44) Where Jon has become world-class (01:23:11) Filling gaps and shaping a more beautiful future (01:26:53) Rewriting your algorithm with beauty (01:27:53) Who Jon is becoming Get full show notes and links at https://GoodWorkShow.com.

If you've ever felt like healthcare "listens" to patients the way a cat listens to a vacuum… this episode is for you. Wes Michael (Rare Patient Voice) breaks down what it really takes to build a community where patients feel safe, respected, and actually heard and how that trust turns into better research, better decisions, and better outcomes in rare disease. Skot and Wes talk about the company's evolution, why patient time should be compensated, how surveys and interviews turn lived experience into usable insight, and the difference between "collecting data" and "earning truth." You'll also hear why caregivers matter, what advocacy looks like in practice, and how meaningful work scales when you protect the human part of the process.

I selected the recording of a night forest in the Central African Republic without looking at the description, simply because it sounded magical. I usually search the recorded sounds for inspiration to tell stories that are more or less personal, but this time it was different. As I started reading about the origin of the sound, chosen solely for its magical aspect, I found myself lost in the discovery of a real-life hero who devoted his life to the collection, protection and conservation of the sounds and culture of the Bayaka people. I met legendary ethnomusicologist and fantastic human being, Louis Sarno. From that moment, I felt that I could not use the rainforest sound as a simple backdrop for my personal musing, I felt the need to bring back to life the magic of the forest and the love and passion that Louis Sarno devoted to his life's work. The word "magic" that drew me to select this specific recording, kept echoing in my head, so I let the magic guide me, and what could be more magical than an incantation? At that point, it was simply a matter of filling in the elements usually found in an incantation: the desired effect, capturing and preserving the sounds of life; the ingredients, all freely found in the dream of a night forest; the spell, pronounced in the name of Louis Sarno's life work; the special effects, unmissable touches for someone devoted to sounds; and finally the real-live love and poetry of life itself. Likimbi forest camp late at night reimagined by M Cristina Marras.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Recorded live at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, Pastor Doug Reed and Rabbi Pesach Wolicki are joined by Rabbi Elie Mischel from the Israel365 studio for a powerful conversation about one of the Bible's oldest and most transformative ideas: Shabbat. As Israel365 creates an immersive Shabbat experience for Christian leaders at NRB, the discussion explores why the Sabbath has become such a compelling spiritual doorway for Christians seeking deeper biblical roots. Together, they reflect on how Shabbat moves faith from constant productivity toward sacred presence, strengthens families, and builds meaningful Jewish-Christian relationships. Through personal stories, theological insight, and behind-the-scenes reflections from NRB, this episode reveals why an ancient Jewish practice is speaking so profoundly to modern believers and how shared spiritual rhythms can bring Jews and Christians closer together in a fractured world.

Key Takeaways:Multifamily Isn't “Safe” AnymoreThe old playbook—buy, renovate, raise rents, refinance—worked when you had margin. Today's compressed cap rates and higher debt costs leave almost no room for error. When everything has to go right, that's not safety.Competition Changed the GameInstitutional and out-of-state capital flooded major markets. Local operators who once competed with familiar players suddenly faced groups willing to pay far more—and accept thinner returns. COVID Exposed the FragilityEviction restrictions and drops in economic occupancy crushed cash flow. When 20–30% of tenants aren't paying, the model breaks. Debt coverage becomes the priority, not growth. Expenses Are the Silent KillerInsurance and property taxes have skyrocketed. Even strong operators can't out-operate doubling insurance premiums and massive tax increases.Timing Matters More Than EgoJosh exited residential in 2018, before the cracks became obvious. Capturing 4x–7x returns and redeploying capital was a strategic move—not an emotional one.Commercial Offers Control and PredictabilityFewer tenants. Longer leases. Less day-to-day “firefighting.” In many smaller commercial deals, there's less competition and more ability to plan long-term capital expenses.

The central development addressed is the disconnect between rising overall IT spending and the declining channel share for MSPs and IT partners. Dave Sobel, in discussion with an industry analyst, highlights a reduction in indirect channel participation—from over 75% to a projected 66.7% in 2026—primarily due to the concentration of AI infrastructure investment among the largest technology firms. These hyperscalers and their associated CapEx do not translate into traditional channel opportunities, restricting partner involvement to areas outside large-scale AI data center buildouts.Supporting data point to a technological industry projected to reach $6.07 trillion in customer spend, growing at 10.2%, compared to significantly lower world GDP growth. However, almost none of the rapid AI-related CapEx from companies like Nvidia and Google flows down to channel partners, who instead rely on client-facing managed services, advisory, and security service work. The increasing complexity of customer demand—such as the shift toward managed security (15% growth) and AI services (35.3% compounded growth)—further pushes MSPs to focus on services surrounding the core product, rather than on direct product resale or thin margin opportunities.A significant operational shift within the channel also emerges: the distinction between “influence” and “execution” partners. Vendor programs increasingly recognize partner contributions outside of transactional resale, such as co-selling, advisory contributions, and services attached before or after the point of sale. This trend is reinforced as platforms move toward “point systems” and indirect revenue attribution, redefining how MSPs measure channel health and partner value in a more complex, multi-partner environment.For MSPs, IT providers, and decision-makers, the key operational implications are clear. Traditional growth through seat expansion is less reliable as hiring softens, and managed services must focus on multiplier opportunities—profitable service revenue attached to each dollar of product sold. Capturing value requires adapting to changing program structures, emphasizing trusted advisor roles, and collaborating effectively with adjacent partners. Near-term investment in understanding and building pre-sales AI and security services, and tracking evolving vendor economics, is essential for navigating the new realities of partner participation, risk allocation, and long-term business health.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 346: Adolpho Veloso, ABC, AIP The film Train Dreams tells a story that feels less like a narrative and more like a memory. It began as an independent project that premiered at Sundance to critical acclaim before getting acquired by Netflix. Director Clint Bentley and cinematographer Adolpho Veloso, ABC, AIP, chose to shoot in the rugged landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. Veloso's radical commitment to naturalism in the film meant relying almost entirely on firelight, candlelight and natural light. The gorgeous result has earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography. After their successful collaboration on the low-budget indie movie Jockey, Veloso and director Clint Bentley knew a tiny crew and small group of actors could lead to good, intimate storytelling. They developed a specific visual shorthand designed to make Train Dreams feel like a discovered artifact. They chose a 3:2 aspect ratio, a deliberate nod to still photography, intended to evoke the sensation of looking through a dusty box of old family photos. “We wanted the movie to feel like memories, like finding a box of pictures,” explains Veloso. “The whole visual motif came from still images and still photography in a way.” Using a single, handheld ARRI ALEXA 35 camera operated by Veloso allowed the actors freedom to improvise and move naturally, often capturing moments that a more rigid, multi-camera setup would have missed. To maintain a clear narrative thread through Robert's (Joel Edgerton) life, Veloso established visual rules using specific lighting shifts to distinguish between the warmth of Robert's good memories and the starker, haunting quality of his loss. Grounding the film in nature was extremely important. The team scoured Washington state, looking for woods that appeared untouched by time, yet remained accessible enough for a film crew. They shot around the Spokane area, where the drier weather and specific light quality offered the perfect backdrop for the film's mid-century setting. Working in national forests meant strict regulations with a small footprint, and timber cutting and axe work was carefully planned. Using almost entirely firelight, candlelight and natural light is very nontraditional filmmaking, and required a great deal of planning from all departments. For the two sets, the cabin and fire tower, Veloso spent weeks tracking solar orientation. The crew carefully built the cabin to exact specifications to allow plenty of light into the space. “You have the privilege to build it the way you want,” Veloso explains. “It's a lot of studies of what the sun is doing from week one to week seven. You have to decide where to place the windows so the light continuity holds as the seasons shift.” The most interesting technical choice was the total ban on LED lighting for period scenes. Veloso wanted the authentic flicker and color temperature of the era, but candles alone often create harsh, distracting shadows. To solve this, the team engineered a “1920s Sky Panel.” This custom rig used large reflective surfaces combined with candles and diffusion to create a soft, glowing light source that felt period-accurate yet flattering on the actors' faces. This required a constant dance between the camera and the art department. Candles, oil lamps, firelight, and campfires had to be good quality light to expose the image properly. For campfire scenes, the gaffer measured light levels in real-time, signaling the fire safety monitor to add wood precisely when the "exposure" needed a boost. A devastating forest fire at the film's climax required a shift from the naturalistic to the surreal. To capture the flames and feeling of a real forest fire, the production moved to an LED volume stage. Robert is dreaming about what happened in the fire, so the fire scene had to be strange and surreal. Veloso shot at a low frame rate with a wide shutter to create a blurred, fever dream aesthetic. The crew also shot in previously burned forests, capturing the aftermath of a real fire. Through Veloso's lens, Train Dreams is a tactile, flickering meditation on time itself.

Debut author Lauren Morrow joins us to discuss Little Movements, a sharp, funny, and deeply perceptive literary novel set in the world of professional dance.Lauren Morrow joins Book Gang to discuss her satirical novel, Little Movements, which follows Layla, a Black choreographer navigating a fragile marriage, a long-delayed hope of motherhood, and a career-defining opportunity at a prestigious arts institution.When Layla relocates alone to create a new piece from the ground up, she finds herself confronting not just the physical demands of dance but the subtler pressures of tokenization, institutional expectations, and who gets to define what her work "means."Drawing from Morrow's background in dance and arts publicity, Little Movements offers an insider's view of how cultural organizations frame progress, how money shapes artistic freedom, and how women—especially Black women—are often asked to carry symbolic weight they never volunteered for.In this fascinating conversation, we explore:

It takes a lot of guts to engage with a stranger on the street, ask probing questions about their struggles, and come away with a portrait and a story as a record of the human connection that was made. Now, imagine repeating this process countless times over 15 years under the moniker Humans of New York (HONY) and watching what started as a passion project take the world by storm. In today's show, we're privileged to chat with this 21st century archivist of everyday citizens and their lived experiences. Listen in as HONY's creator, Brandon Stanton, shares how he transformed street photography into a practice of deep human connection—moving beyond candid pictures to create a unique space where strangers can reveal their most authentic selves.   Some key discussion points include: the art of active listening, the power of vulnerability, and how finding someone's struggle unlocks their genius. Brandon also reflects on building a creative practice through daily discipline and navigating the tension between social media algorithms and meaningful art. Stay to the end for a peek behind the scenes of Brandon's recent blockbuster installation that brought ordinary New Yorkers' stories into the hallowed space of Grand Central Terminal.  At its core, this is a life lesson in the evolution of authentic storytelling in an increasingly digital world, creating scarcity in an age of abundance—not through better images or words, but through genuine human interaction that can't be replicated in the digital realm. Guest: Brandon Stanton Episode Timeline: 2:38: The first portrait Brandon made of two random strangers he encountered in a Chicago subway car.  7:48: Absorbing rejection when asking people for a picture so to get as broad a representation of the general public as possible. 15:20: The art of stopping someone on the street to capture a photograph and a story, and the evolution of Brandon's creative process. 22:45: Capturing moments of authenticity, the profundity of a person's struggles, the granularity of lived experience, plus the evolution of finding people to approach. 31:57: The mindset and habits Brandon established early on that enables him to create his art. 36:40: Brandon's evolution in capturing people's stories—from reconstructing stories from memory to notetaking in real time to crafting a story from audio recordings. 40:22: Episode Break 41:46: Starting Humans of New York as an antidote to being fired from his full-time job 43:05: The therapeutic aspect of talking to people, and Brandon's process of listening with his entire body to become a vessel for other peoples' stories. 50:22: The role of philanthropy, doing good for others on a grand scale, and Brandon's determination to do the best work possible. 54:15: Brandon talks about the impact of social media and its effects on human behavior. 1:06:31: The Dear New York installation at Grand Central Terminal, and Brandon's belief that the only scarcity in art is through real life. 1:14:37: Focusing on Humans of New York as a solo endeavor vs working with more than 100 collaborators to pull off Dear New York at Grand Central Terminal. 1:20:00: Brandon talks about how he keeps grounded, plus shares his favorite question—How do you keep score with yourself? Guest Bio:  Brandon Stanton is the writer and photographer behind Humans of New York, a storytelling platform with over 30-million followers. He's also the creator of Dear New York, an immersive art installation in NYC's Grand Central Station during November 2025 and a companion book.  Over the past 15 years, Brandon has photographed and interviewed over ten thousand people in forty different countries around the world. During this time, he's helped raise over $20 million dollars in support of various causes and individuals who have been featured in his work.  Brandon is also the author of four #1 New York Times bestselling books, which have sold millions of copies around the world: Humans of New York in 2013, Humans of New York: Stories in 2015, Humans in 2020, Tanqueray in 2022, and, most recently, Dear New York, in 2025.
