James traces his career across some of the most storied names in luxury hospitality — Ritz-Carlton, Rosewood, the Carlisle, YTL — before partnering with Chris Burch to build NIHI Sumba, now widely regarded as one of the world's most exceptional and emotionally resonant hotel experiences. He breaks down the difference between operating inside a behemoth brand versus building something from scratch, and what it really costs — personally and professionally — to go independent. The conversation covers demand creation in the pre-algorithm era (think hot cookies at Malaysian airports and a chef moonlighting as a "technology butler"), how a yoga teacher ran NIHI's Instagram for its first five years, and why NIHI's most viral post — horses casting shadows on a beach at sunset — gets mistaken for AI-generated content daily. James also shares his philosophy on guerrilla marketing, the power of generosity as a brand strategy, and why scarcity may be the most underutilized asset in luxury hospitality today. On the business side, James gets candid about partner selection, equity, the emotional toll of betting on yourself, and what independent operators consistently get wrong: great product, poor storytelling. He argues that the GM running a flagged property matters more than the flag itself — that soul can't be systemized, only lived. A masterclass in brand building, emotional hospitality, and the courage it takes to build something the world hasn't seen yet.   Your Hosts: Zach Busekrus — Journey LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zachbusekrus/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behindthestays/   Scott Eddy — Global Travel & Hospitality Expert @MrScottEddy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrscotteddy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrscotteddy/   Ben Wolff — Founder of Onera & Oasi LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-wolff/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iambenwolff/   Edwin Kramer — Luxury Hotelier Consultant & Former GM LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edwinckramer/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/edwinkramer/

Introduction Dr. Arreaza: Hello, everyone, today we continue with our series about sleep. I invite you to listen to Moira Wilson on Episodes 220 and 221 about the approach of insomnia and CBT-I in adults. Today we will discuss not only what to do, but also why it works. We frequently hear advice like ‘get more sleep,' but we need to dig deeper into the physiology behind it. So, Dr. Kim and Dr. Carlisle are here to briefly explain the physiology of sleep and what we can do to support better sleep. But before we start, let's welcome Dr. Carlisle, who recently matched to our program. He will start his residency soon, and Dr. Kim, who will soon become a PGY2, welcome doctors.  Dr. Carlisle: [Introduce yourself].  Dr. Kim: [Introduce yourself].  Dr. Arreaza: Let's start simple. Why does sleep matter clinically? Why Sleep Matters Dr. Kim: Sleep is one of the most important biological processes we have. It's not passive; it's highly active and tightly regulated. It affects cognition, metabolism, immune function, cardiovascular health, and hormonal balance. When sleep is disrupted, you see downstream effects in almost every organ system. Dr. Carlisle: Yeah, and one thing I always emphasize is that sleep deprivation isn't just about feeling tired. It actually puts you in a physiologic state that's very similar to being intoxicated. There are studies showing that being awake for about 24 hours can impair cognitive performance to a level comparable to being above the legal driving limit for alcohol. Dr. Arreaza: That's actually kind of scary when you think about it.  Dr. Carlisle: It really is. Another way to think about it is sleep deprivation doesn't just make you slower; it actually changes how you make decisions. People become more impulsive and less risky. And in medicine, we see that translates into increased medical errors, decreased attention, and poor decision-making. So, from a clinical standpoint, sleep isn't optional; it's foundational. Dr. Kim: Delay caffeine (but not too late), avoid alcohol, and focus on behavioral strategies (put away your phone 1 hour before bedtime).  Dr. Carlisle: And sleep is the foundation of performance. If sleep is off, everything else is compensating. Dr. Kim: And even beyond cognition, even one night of poor sleep can impair immune function and shift hormones that regulate hunger, which is why people tend to crave more food when they're sleep deprived. Dr. Arreaza: I think it's wise to dispel the myth of the “Russian Sleep Experiment”, have you heard about it? Dr. Carlile-Dr Kim: [reaction] Dr. Arreaza: The “Russian Sleep Experiment” is an internet horror story claiming Soviet scientists kept prisoners awake for several weeks using a gas. They developed extreme paranoia, violence, and self-mutilation. Then, the experiment got out of control, the subjects became unrecognizable, they refused to sleep, continued to deteriorate, and went insane. Even though the story went viral in 2010, it is fictional (reaction), with no real evidence that it really happened. So, it is just a made-up horror story. But there are some real studies about sleep deprivation in humans.  Dr Kim: Yes, the most famous case was Randy Gardner (1964) who stayed awake for 11 days. He developed hallucinations, memory problems, and mood changes. He recovered after sleep (no permanent “madness”). Dr. Carlisle: Sure, but as I mentioned before, even one night without sleep significantly reduces performance and accuracy. Dr. Kim: Another myth we fall into is “catching up on sleep”. It is a myth! Sleep Architecture Dr. Arreaza: Sleeping is a state when you reset your brain and your energy, but what actually happens during sleep? Dr. Carlisle: Sleep cycles between non-REM and REM stages. Non-REM sleep, especially deep, slow-wave sleep, is where physical restoration happens. That's when you get growth hormone release, tissue repair, and metabolic recovery. Dr. Kim: And one of the most fascinating things is what happens in the brain during that deep sleep. The space between brain cells actually expands, which allows cerebrospinal fluid to circulate and clear out metabolic waste. Dr. Carlisle: That's the glymphatic system. And what's interesting is that this clearance is most active during deep sleep (Stage 3, Delta waves). It clears neurotoxins like beta amyloid, which is one reason chronic sleep deprivation is linked to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.  Dr. Arreaza: So, your brain is basically cleaning itself while you sleep. The “glymphatic system” is relatively new. It was described in 2010, and it clears substances like beta-amyloid, which is linked to Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. Then REM sleep is more focused on brain function. That's where memory consolidation, emotional processing, and learning really happen. Dr. Kim: And REM sleep tends to occur more in the second half of the night. So, when people cut their sleep short, they lose a lot of that REM sleep, which affects mood, focus, and overall cognitive function. What Drives Sleep Dr. Arreaza: So, what actually makes us feel sleepy? Dr. Kim: There are two main processes. The first is the homeostatic drive, where adenosine builds up in the brain the longer you're awake, creating sleep pressure.  Dr. Carlisle: And the second is your circadian rhythm, which is controlled by your brain's internal clock and influenced mainly by light exposure. Dr. Arreaza: So, in summary, one process depends on how long you've been awake, and the other process depends on your body's own timing.  Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. I think of it as pressure and timing. Adenosine builds pressure, and your circadian rhythm determines when that pressure gets released. Dr. Kim: And when those two systems are aligned, sleep happens naturally. When they're out of sync, that's when people start having issues.  Morning Routine Dr. Arreaza: Let's talk about practical tips. The morning seems to be a key element in our sleep. What can we do in the mornings to help us sleep at night? Dr. Carlisle: Morning sunlight, without a doubt. Getting light exposure within the first 30 to 60 minutes of waking helps anchor your circadian rhythm. Dr. Kim: And outdoor light is much stronger than indoor light, even on cloudy days. Dr. Carlisle: The mechanism is that light activates specialized retinal cells that signal your brain's clock. That sets the timing for cortisol release in the morning and melatonin release later at night. Dr. Kim: And it also increases dopamine early in the day, which helps with mood, motivation, and focus. Dr. Carlisle: So, you're not just waking up; you're setting up your entire day's physiology. Caffeine and Hydration Dr. Arreaza: Light exposure; I like the idea. That's why phototherapy works for any kind of depression, not only seasonal depression. What other suggestions can you give us about our morning routine?  Dr. Carlisle: Hydration first thing in the morning helps restore plasma volume and improve alertness since we're mildly dehydrated overnight. Dr. Kim: It is also a good idea to add electrolytes to the water. And caffeine timing is huge. If you drink it right when you wake up, you're interfering with your natural adenosine cycle. Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors, but it doesn't remove adenosine. So later in the day, when caffeine wears off, all that built-up adenosine hits at once, and that's what causes the crash. And that's why some people feel wired but still tired because the underlying sleep pressure is still there, just being masked by the caffeine.  Dr. Arreaza: So, what should people do instead? (I say people because I personally don't drink coffee, and occasionally I drink caffeine) Dr. Kim: People should wait about 60 to 90 minutes before having caffeine.   Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

As a teenager, Tatum decided to take up a job at a small family-owned restaurant in Carlisle, Pennsylvania that was originally a historic pre-civil war home. As a nod to the building's heritage the restaurant kept a photo of the original family who had resided in the home, but it was rumored among the staff that it was this family that was haunting the place. It wasn't long into working there that Tatum began to have experiences of her own.Check out our Merch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For business inquiries contact: OtherworldTeam@unitedtalent.comIf you have experienced something paranormal or unexplained, email us your story at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠stories@otherworldpod.com

...in which we return to 19th-century Maryport in the company of author Simon Francis Brown to explore the world of regional shipbuilding through the exquisite illustrated journals of master shipbuilder Kelsick Wood. Starting our walk at the Shipping Brow Gallery overlooking the River Ellen, we set the historic context for Kelsick's arrival in Maryport in around 1818 – Britain as a maritime superpower, the age of empire, the political endgame of slavery – and paint a picture of the town's bustling harbour, its numerous taverns, the lavish dinners held for Lord Senhouse, the squalor of many residents. Battling weather on the harbour wall, we introduce Kelsick Wood, the Workington-born shipbuilder who travelled the world before acquiring the family yard at Maryport and starting the illustrated journals (excerpts below) that Simon discovered in a Greenwich archive. Sheltering from the gale in a harbourside ginnel, we discuss the business of shipbuilding: the crafts required to bring together a finished brig; the unforgiving economics of timber imports; the impact of Cumbrian weather on operations; and the insurance stranglehold held for a time by London shipbuilders. Retiring to the Golden Lion – where Kelsick spent many of his working hours entertaining potential customers and networking with the Maryport elite – we learn about the politically progressive family man who grieved the loss of a wife and six children, before winding down the podcast considering the numerous pressures which built on domestic shipbuilders – from overseas competition to the introduction of iron hulls – signalling the end of the age of sail. The Vanishing Age of Sail can be bought from Bookends in Carlisle and Keswick, and other local bookshops. It is also available from Amazon and Waterstones.

In this episode of The Mariner's Mirror Podcast, we continue our naval fiction series with Chris Durbin, author of the excellent Carlisle & Holbrooke Naval Adventures. Set during the global conflict of the Seven Years' War, the series follows two Royal Navy captains—one a colonial Virginian, the other from Hampshire—as they navigate war, politics, and shifting loyalties in a world on the brink of revolution. Drawing on a 24-year career as a Royal Navy warfare officer, Durbin brings an authentic edge to his storytelling, capturing the realities of life at sea—from fleet actions and convoy duty to the personal pressures of command. In this conversation, we explore how he blends history with fiction, the challenges of writing naval warfare, and the wider historical forces shaping his characters' lives. With seventeen novels in the series and the story moving toward the American Revolution, Durbin's work offers a vivid and immersive take on a defining period of maritime history. If you're new to the series, you can catch up on previous conversations with authors spanning the centuries—from the 17th century with David Davies, to the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars with Julian Stockwin, Katie Daysh, and Philip K. Allen. We've even delved into the life behind Patrick O'Brian's work with his biographer for a broader perspective. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How do you tend to define success? Is it an external outcome you pursue, or is it something personal you feel ‘close in’? I’ve been preparing for our next set of Serenity Island Picnics. I’m considering how being more experimental might affect my understanding of success. I share a few of these observations in this short episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast. The Return to Serenity Island combines structured resources with a guided creative journey, offering a space for more experimental thinkers to explore change, personal growth, and ambition without the pressure of performance or rigid goal-setting. It appeals to those who view life as a mysterious treasure island to explore rather than a checklist of predetermined items to tick off. https://youtu.be/AFQlxKUNm60 What Does Close-In Success Feel Like? I find more satisfaction in the process of writing and producing a song than in completing it. Hearing a song on the radio doesn’t give me a greater sense of success than the mini-breakthroughs and connecting the dots as it emerges. However, I can downplay the importance of these close-in success moments. Absorbing outcome-oriented metrics can make it seem as though those don’t matter, and that true success lies in pursuing bigger goals. In The Return to Serenity Island, we connect real-world areas with map regions to recognise micro-moments and small glimmers of ‘close-in success’ in everyday life. Seeing Something Universal in Particular Situations A big reason I keep making videos about The Let Them Saga is what it represents. The story got a hold of me, and I’ve been unable and unwilling to ignore it. It’s been a strange experience because it is a complete departure from what I normally do. But with an experimental approach to life, pursuits can be driven by an inner compass (values, beliefs, etc.), which can lead us in directions that may seem, on the surface, unusual. In other words, we may connect the dots and see patterns, threaded together by those intrinsic motivations. For example, I’m drawn to the Let Them story because I can see elements of it as both a symptom of and a contributor to the greater challenges we are currently facing in the world. On Serenity Island, we use this compass to help us assess and respond to opportunities, feelings, and thorns that catch our attention as they arise. This enables us to reorient to our own definition of success and feel more confident about the path we’re on, even if it doesn’t make obvious sense to others. For me, I feel “close in success” when I know I am acting in sync with those deeper motivators, rather than in pursuit of a quick result or the perception of growth. It Can Take Me a While to Understand Where Something Fits I’m in awe of people who can grasp concepts quickly and understand how, why and where they fit. It seems to take unfamiliar ideas longer to snap into place for me. But when they do, it can feel like a mini-revelation. I love those aha moments. One of my core priorities while developing The Return to Serenity Island and The Haven was the concept of seasonal return, rhythm and repetition. For many experimental people, this allows ideas to settle and dots to connect. It’s through the familiarity of repetition that something may eventually land for us at the right time, when the conditions are right. False Starts and The Perception of Failure ‘Close-in’ success can look like failure to onlookers. On the experimental path, growth and progress often unfold in non-linear ways. They may appear as fits and starts. Trial, error, quitting, walking away, coming back, forgetting, remembering. Popular conceptual mantras can shape our self-understanding. For example, we learn to value the ability to “always begin with the end in mind, and start with a clear understanding of your destination”. Productivity bros declare that “winners never quit and quitters never win”. Self-help influencers remind us that “the person who has a fixed purpose and backs it with the determination to see it through to the end is the one who succeeds”. From this conceptual perspective, virtue lies in finishing what you start, even if it is no longer necessary, effective or appropriate. But for experimental people, it’s important to develop the ability to discern when it’s time to quit and how to let go sustainably. Nothing is Truly Wasted In an experimental life, nothing is wasted. Every venture yields something to carry forward. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. No, wait. That’s different. In The Return to Serenity Island, we take time to acknowledge and appreciate our resourcefulness. We make peace with letting go and make space to focus on those sources of close-in satisfaction. Many of us carry baggage about letting go, quitting, and changing our minds. It might have been drummed into us that stopping before the end is wasteful. At its most extreme, an outcome-oriented framework holds that the end justifies the means. So long as you get the result, it doesn’t matter how you do it. It also holds that the end undermines the means. If things turn out unfavourably, the whole journey is seen as a waste of time. When The End Justifies and Undermines The Means I saw Stockport County (my team) lose to Carlisle on penalties at Wembley in the League Two playoff final in 2023. After the match, as we walked away from the stadium, I said, “Well, that was a waste of a day.” I was joking, but part of me felt it too, because the result was disappointing. It clouded my perception of the day, especially in the immediate aftermath of that defeat. But the day was otherwise great, full of enjoyable micro-moments. I realise how quickly I can undermine the time I spend caring, crafting, and creating if I hand all the power to the destination. But on the flipside, I can see how easy it is to find more joy in life when I turn that on its head and give power to the joy of the ‘close-in’. Satisfaction in small things comes from bringing real life to the landscapes we map in our imagination around Serenity Island. How Does Close-In Success Feel To YOU? If life were an island, where would you choose to hang out and explore, regardless of measurable results that may or may not follow? What would you love to plant more of in your life? How do you want to respond to unexpected changes, opportunities, and feelings that arise? Why do the choices you make matter? When experimental people build our lives on the foundations of questions like these, the growth we might otherwise try to force takes care of itself. When we view success up close, the path begins to unfold in unexpected, obvious, surprising, intuitive, gradual, and sudden ways. Join us on Serenity Island to explore more.
