Franck Desplechin is a French-born chef turned luxury hotel food and beverage executive, with roots in Michelin-starred kitchens and brands like St. Regis and Auberge Resorts. After running iconic properties (including a wild Sedona chapter with his wife as co-leaders), he launched a nationwide task force and consulting practice and distilled his "chef mindset" leadership style into a book. Susan and Franck talk about building healthy, high-performing teams in high-pressure environments. What You'll Learn About: • Lessons from a 15-year-old apprentice about reliability, humility, and showing up that still matter in the C-suite • Navigating partnership when you and your spouse run the hotel together without killing each other (or the vibe) • How COVID, quarantine, and a pregnant partner forced a workaholic to completely rearrange his priorities • What the "chef mindset" really is and how to use adversity, rejection, and pressure as a leadership training ground • Spotting when your culture is out of balance between guest experience and employee experience • Rethinking "we have jobs because we have guests" and flipping it to a culture-first, people-first philosophy • What task force really looks like behind the scenes and how elite consultants show up differently than the average fill-in • Serving what the property needs vs pushing what you think they should fix as an external expert • Meetings that should absolutely die and how to spot the recurring time-wasters with zero impact • Simple daily rituals that build loyalty, like the 15-minute "hello tour" that makes your team feel seen • Where luxury F&B is headed next and why fewer, better outlets may beat "infinite options" for modern travelers *** Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Leadership in luxury F&B is shaped early, and built on discipline, humility, and constant learning. Franck traces his approach to leadership back to the foundations laid in Michelin-starred kitchens: showing up on time, staying coachable, being reliable, and remaining a lifelong student of hospitality. These habits, formed at age 15, still anchor his leadership today.  2. Task force success hinges on humility, flexibility, and meeting properties where they are. High-performing task force leaders don't walk in trying to fix everything. They focus on what the hotel truly needs, adapt to existing team culture, assess emotional dynamics, and provide continuity during leadership gaps. Ego and personal agenda have no place in effective interim leadership.  3. Luxury F&B's future is fewer outlets, sharper concepts, and deeper employee focus. Franck predicts a shift away from sprawling multi-outlet hotels toward tighter, more exceptional concepts, because guests increasingly value quality over variety and seek local experiences. He also argues that employee satisfaction should be measured and prioritized with the same rigor as guest satisfaction, because the guest experience depends on it.  Franck Desplechin on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/franck-desplechin/ Franck's Website https://www.cheffranck.com/ Other Episodes You May Like:  08: King Sheet Parachute with Justin Genzlinger https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/08 174: Apron on a Fence with Mitch Prensky https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/174 185: Squash Milk with Steve Fortunato https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/185

Most men don't need more information - they need fewer lies. The most common lie? "I'm fine."

Tom Ough tells us about the Big Things that may end humanity - and what we can do and in some cases have done to prevent these. Did you know that if all the risks, the one that is most likely to end you is aging? What are we doing to stop aging? Tom is a journalist and writer who is currently Senior Editor at UnHerd, a London‑based online magazine of culture and opinion. After several years working at The Telegraph, he moved into research on global catastrophic risks and wrote a nonfiction book titled The Anti‑Catastrophe League about individuals and efforts to prevent humanity's extinction, and he also co‑hosts the Anglofuturism podcast.-- IN THIS EPISODE WE LEARN --Why aging itself can be understood as a catastrophic risk, and what it would mean to treat it with the same seriousness as other existential threats.What it would actually take to detect, deflect, or survive an asteroid impact.Why space expansion and Mars are a part of long-term civilizational resilience.Why some catastrophic risks may be overestimated, and how to think more clearly about climate change relative to other existential threats.What we know about super-volcanoes, why they're rare but devastating, and why preparedness matters despite uncertainty.How nuclear war remains a central catastrophic risk, and why deterrence, miscalculation, and escalation still deserve serious attention.How to think about AI risk, what distinguishes it from past technological threats, and why uncertainty makes governance difficult.What p(doom) means, why people disagree so strongly about it, and how probabilities shape policy and public discourse.Who typically gravitates toward anti-catastrophe thinking, and what motivates people to focus on low-probability, high-impact risks.What Anglo-futurism is.

What if precognitive abilities could actually save lives? Sam Knight (New Yorker staff writer, author of the widely popular The Premonitions Bureau: A True Account of Death Foretold) joins Mayim Bialik's Breakdown to unpack some of the strangest, most unsettling questions in human experience: Can we really be scared to death? Do premonitions give us access to other timelines? Or are they evidence of a hidden, collective consciousness? Sam takes us inside the real story behind the deadly coal mine collapse that dozens of people eerily reported before it happened: a wave of psychic warnings so compelling it led to the creation of the British Premonitions Bureau, an experimental project designed to collect premonitions and prevent future catastrophes. We explore why people in the past seemed to understand extrasensory abilities better than we do today, and how head injuries have triggered sudden psi abilities in some truly bizarre cases. Sam also breaks down the most common types of premonitions, what separates accurate warnings from noise, why there aren't premonitions about positive things, the implications of so many different families and cultures sharing these inexplicable accounts, and why it's actually anti-scientific to dismiss reports of precognition altogether. Do people who experience premonitions have a moral responsibility to act on them? Could these uncanny glimpses be messages from alternate timelines, or something emerging from the depths of the unconscious mind? And the biggest question of all: Do we all have the ability to receive premonitions but we just don't know how to listen? If you've ever felt a strange sense of déjà vu, had a dream that came true, or wondered whether the future is already whispering to you…this is the episode of MBB you can't miss.

BT and Sal start by debating the concept of "glacial speed" in the slow MLB offseason, using the Titanic iceberg as a nautical analogy. The conversation is then abruptly overtaken by BREAKING NEWS: Pete Alonso has left the Mets for the Baltimore Orioles on a 5-year, $155 million deal. The hosts react to the seismic shift, with a fiery Hof calling Mets GM David Stearns a "moron" for letting the market setter walk. Sal respects the Mets' decision to draw a line in the sand, arguing the team can be better without Pete's specific production. The hosts then transition to their plans for attending Alex Rodriguez's holiday party, debating cocktail attire (corduroy suit vs. turtleneck) and how much actual face time they'll get with the Yankees legend. The segment concludes with a deep dive into A-Rod's complicated relationship with the Yankees and whether he deserves to be in Monument Park.

The discussion delves into the complex historical eras of Iraq, challenging binary understandings of its past and present. A professor at Haverford College and author of "Political Undesirables: Citizen Denaturalization and Reclamation in Iraq and Return to Ruin: Iraqi Narratives of Exile and Nostalgia", Zainab Saleh discusses how the Iraq she grew up in—during the Ba'ath Party reign and under Saddam Hussein—was a time of fear and repression, despite the earlier period of high hopes and political aspirations in the 1940s and 1950s. She explores the concept of nostalgia for the Saddam era, which exists even among those who suffered under the regime, because of the basic services that were provided. The conversation offers a nuanced timeline of modern Iraqi history, from World War I's role in creating Middle Eastern nation-states through the Ottoman and British rules, the monarchy, and the Ba'ath Party. A key focus is placed on the 1990s as a major turning point, with the 1991 bombardment and subsequent sanctions leading to the rapid deterioration of infrastructure, increased social problems like begging and corruption, and environmental collapse. We consider the argument that the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and the US invasion should be viewed as one long, continuous war. Saleh critiques the simplistic narrative that Americans brought to Iraq after 2003, arguing that it institutionalized a sectarian political system. She emphasizes that the American discourse—classifying Sunnis as loyalists and Shia or Kurds as oppressed—ignored the reality of mixed communities and complex political loyalties. Saleh explores the historical use of denaturalization in Iraq, a topic central to her latest book. She details how the British and subsequent Iraqi regimes used the pretext of "political undesirables" to strip citizens of their rights, citing examples such as Iraqi Jews in the 1950s and Iraqis of Iranian origin in the 1980s. 0:00 Introduction 1:50 When Did The Iraq You Grew Up In Start?2:54 The High Hopes of the 1940s and 1950s3:33 Nostalgia, Time, and Loss7:09 The Broad Phases of Iraqi History9:33 Cultural Renaissance Under the Monarchy10:00 Vibrant Leftist Politics in the Monarchy Era11:39 Nostalgia for the Monarchy13:00 The Largest Effect on Daily Life: 1991 Bombardment and Sanctions16:29 Connecting the Wars: One Long War17:59 The Lead-up to Saddam's Invasion of Kuwait19:33 The Vision of the Neoconservatives20:40 Misunderstandings about US Imperialism22:11 The Myth of Iraqi Sectarianism23:24 The Institutionalization of a Sectarian System25:27 The Role of the Iraqi Opposition Abroad28:29 Phases of Post-2003 Iraq29:12 The Civil War and Proxy War (2006-2008)30:20 Displacement and the Reorganization of Iraqi Society30:52 Social Mobilization: 2011 and the Tishreen Uprising (2019)31:24 The Catastrophe of ISIS34:29 The Problem with Nostalgic Photos40:14 When One Dictator Becomes a Source of Nostalgia41:16 The Book: Political Undesirables and Denaturalization41:59 The Deportation of Iraqis of Iranian Origin (1980)44:48 Denaturalization as a Systemic Pattern48:19 Issuing Passports After World War I51:00 The Expulsion of Iraqi Jews (1950)51:25 Iraqi Jews as an Integral Part of Society52:44 The Ancient History of Babylonian Jews55:20 The Basis for Expulsion58:19 Recommended Readings on Iraqi History Zainab Saleh is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Haverford College and the author of books "Return to Ruin: Iraqi Narratives of Exile and Nostalgia" (2020) and "Political Undesirables: Citizenship, Denaturalization, and Reclamation in Iraq" (2025).Connect with Zainab Saleh

Rob Moore sits down with the UK's longest-serving Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, for an unfiltered discussion on the state of the economy post-budget. He breaks down the £70 billion tax grab, revealing the urgent need for £47 billion in welfare reform, why running the NHS is "far harder" than running a major company, and the shocking structural problems hindering economic growth. BEST MOMENTS "If we got the benefits bill down to where it was before the pandemic, that's £47 billion less a year." "Running a hospital in Britain is far harder than running a FTSE company... I've seen it from the inside; there is a structural problem." "The more this Parliament goes on, the more the country is worried about the economy, and then they start thinking, 'Who do I actually trust when it comes to the economy?'"

Brandon Laroque. Brandon, who owns The Goat Bar in Raleigh, NC, details his extensive career in the hospitality industry, starting from a country club to bartending at a renowned comedy club, which eventually led him to open six of his own bars, primarily using a "flipping" strategy. The core of the discussion revolves around the challenging decision to retire and close his successful, long-standing bar due to mounting stress from employee issues and the difficulty of verifying increasingly sophisticated fake IDs, which led to legal problems with alcohol law enforcement (ALE). However, his retirement was abruptly cut short when he was devastated by the theft of over $3 million in cryptocurrency from a cold wallet. This financial catastrophe forced Brandon and his wife to make the difficult choice to reopen The Goat Bar, facing new bureaucratic hurdles with the city to reinstate expired permits. The segment concludes with Will transitioning into the formal podcast interview, eager to share Brandon's compelling and dramatic story.10 Takeaways Longevity and Experience: Brandon and his wife have a combined 70 years of experience in the hospitality industry (30+ for him, 40 for her). The GOAT Bar's Success: The Goat Bar, a dive bar in Raleigh, has been a highly successful "cash cow" since opening in 2003, built on years of hard work, self-maintenance, and a strong local following. Entrepreneurial Spinoffs: Brandon's experience at Charlie Good Nights comedy club, where he was forced to be hands-on, spawned approximately 30 different bars opened by former employees, including six by Brandon himself. "Flipping" Bars: Brandon developed a strategy of opening, establishing, and then selling (flipping) bars, noting his favorite part of the business is the opening process. Growth Challenges: He learned the hard lesson that owning multiple bars brings "three times the headaches and one and a half times the money" compared to a single location. Impact of 2020: The COVID-19 shutdown (2020) and subsequent reopening severely impacted the business, leading to employee turnover and stress, contributing to the decision to retire. Sophisticated Fake IDs: A major stressor was the rise of highly realistic fake IDs, often from China, that are nearly impossible for bar staff to verify, even with ID scanners, leading to legal action from ALE agents. Control State Regulations: The bar operates in North Carolina, a control state, where the state controls liquor sales, which means the bar pays a high tax (approx. 75%) on liquor purchased from the county ABC. Retirement Derailment: The planned retirement, which included moving to Las Vegas, was unexpectedly ruined by the theft of over $3 million in cryptocurrency from a cold wallet. Forced Reopening: The financial loss forced Brandon and his wife to abandon retirement plans and reopen The Goat Bar, leading to new challenges with re-securing permits from the city.

We often worry about AI models “hallucinating” or making honest mistakes. But what happens when a model knows the truth, but decides to deceive you anyway to achieve a goal of its own? This isn't sci-fi — it's happening regularly in deployment today. Marius Hobbhahn, CEO of the world's top research organisation focused on AI deception (Apollo Research), has been collaborating with OpenAI to figure out what causes OpenAI's reasoning models to 'scheme' against users.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/mh25 In a striking case uncovered by Apollo, when many AI models were told they would have capabilities removed if they performed too well on a test, they successfully “sandbagged” — intentionally answering questions incorrectly to appear less capable than they were, while also being careful not to perform so poorly it would arouse suspicion.These models had somehow developed a preference to preserve their own capabilities, despite never being trained in that goal or assigned a task that called for it.This doesn't cause significant risk now, but as AI models become more general, superhuman in more areas, and are given more decision-making power, it could become outright dangerous.In today's episode, Marius details his recent collaboration with OpenAI to train o3 to follow principles like “never lie,” even when placed in “high-pressure” situations where it would otherwise make sense.The good news: They reduced “covert rule violations” (scheming) by about 97%.The bad news: In the remaining 3% of cases, the models sometimes became more sophisticated — making up new principles to justify their lying, or realising they were in a test environment and deciding to play along until the coast was clear.Marius argues that while we can patch specific behaviours, we might be entering a “cat-and-mouse game” where models are becoming more situationally aware — that is, aware of when they're being evaluated — faster than we are getting better at testing.Even if models can't tell they're being tested, they can produce hundreds of pages of reasoning before giving answers and include strange internal dialects humans can't make sense of, making it much harder to tell whether models are scheming or train them to stop.Marius and host Rob Wiblin discuss:Why models pretending to be dumb is a rational survival strategyThe Replit AI agent that deleted a production database and then lied about itWhy rewarding AIs for achieving outcomes might lead to them becoming better liarsThe weird new language models are using in their internal chain-of-thoughtThis episode was recorded on September 19, 2025.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's Marius Hobbhahn?

Pew Research and Gallup surveys confirm the decline of organized religion in the US, with "nuns" (the religiously unaffiliated) nearing one-third of the population. We dissect this massive demographic shift, comparing the dangers posed by deeply devoted believers versus passively religious people. We question if a non-serious Christian is truly harmless or simply a "volatile" target for grifters and con artists. Ultimately, the panel concludes that the rise of secularism signals progress as more people are questioning their beliefs.News Source:If the U.S. had 100 people: Charting Americans' religious affiliationsBy Unknown for Pew Research CenterNovember 13th, 2025 https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/11/13/if-the-u-s-had-100-people-charting-americans-religious-affiliations/Drop in religiosity among largest in worldBy Unknown for Gallup https://news.gallup.com/poll/697676/drop-religiosity-among-largest-world.aspxThe Non-Prophets, Episode 24.48.1 featuring Rob, Flabbergasted, & Stephen HarderFaith Collapse: Nones Rise to 29% Are People Finally Thinking? Gallup Poll Confirms Religion is Dying The Danger of the Passive Christian Christianity's Global Decline Exposed The Pros and Cons of Literally Believing the Bible Deeply Religious vs. Passively Religious: Who's Worse? Less Religious People = A WIN Challenging the Indoctrination Cycle Why are Christians Losing Their Religion? Religious Decline: Natural Evolution or Catastrophe? What's the Moral Value of Passive Belief? How the Nuns Denomination is Taking Over Stop Going to Church, Start Thinking! America's Faith Demographics Are Shifting Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

The holidays are an unusually social time, filled with parties and family get-togethers. But for most of the year, we feel isolated and unsatisfied with our social lives. Our society isn't structured to support connection year-round. So it's an apt time to re-air this episode — a conversation with the writer Sheila Liming about rediscovering the lost art of hanging out.Liming is an associate professor of professional writing at Champlain College and the author of “Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time.” In the book, Liming investigates the troubling fact that we've grown much less likely to simply spend time together outside our partnerships, workplaces and family units. What would it look like to reconfigure our world to make social connection easier for all of us?I spoke to Liming in April 2023. But I find that this conversation provides a clearer sense of what's gone wrong in our social lives — and how to make “hanging out” with others more fulfilling.Note: We're still gathering questions for an upcoming "Ask Me Anything" episode we'd like to record.

HEADLINE: GAIUS & GERMANICUS IN LONDINIUM 91 AD: The "When Russia Wins" War Game and NATO's Empty Shell. Gaius and Germanicus continue their discussion, reflecting on how Woodrow Wilson's 14 points led to catastrophe. They then play the "paranoid NATO dream" war game, "When Russia Wins." The scenario posits that in 2028, after the 28-point plan is implemented, Russian forces occupy Narva, Estonia, but remain static. NATO fails to invoke Article 5 due to a lack of consensus, especially after Washington washes its hands of the conflict, effectively ending the alliance. Germanicus argues NATO is an "empty shell," designed only for nuclear confrontation, not hybrid warfare or lesser contingencies. While Ukraine has made peace with not joining NATO, Russia accepts Ukraine pursuing EU membership for its necessary economic connection. Russia's goal in the Baltics is primarily the protection of ethnic Russians and access to the Baltic Sea. 1940
