Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss what Halloween should include in the TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      1:22 We have more time to explore the stories. Voldemort kills the Potters, a troll breaks into Hogwarts, the Chamber of Secrets is revealed, Sirius Black breaks into the Castle, and Harry's name is picked from the Goblet of Fire all on different Halloween nights. Getting more from all of those moments would be invaluable.·       12:00 What are magical traditions of Halloween? For all we know, Halloween was a magical celebration to begin with. Why did it start, and who started it? These are the questions we can have answers to if every moment doesn't have to move the plot forward.·      18:22 The ambience of greater Hogwarts. The Great Hall is all decked out with decorations, but the rest of the castle should also have those touches. Darker halls, moving suits of armor, things like that. Those things would remind us that the castle is a safe place, but not completely.·      24:05 Professors have themed lessons. Getting some real-world application into their teachings is always a valuable thing, especially if it relates to something happening right now. I think the professors should jump at the chance to teach some magic that isn't as well known, but still relates to their studies.Having anything you want to hear or say?

Joint Sword 2024: China's Anaconda Strategy Against Taiwan and Washington's Persistence in Failed Engagement. Captain James Fanell and Bradley Thayer assert that America must urgently reverse its strategic errors regarding China. Fanell notes that China is currently demonstrating aggression toward Taiwan, announcing two days of "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" exercises conducted very close to Taiwan, inside the contiguous zone. China is using the recent inauguration speech of Taiwan's new President Lai as the casus belli, claiming his equating Taiwan and China as two separate nations constitutes a move toward independence. Fanell expects the operation to include ballistic missiles fired into closure areas, with China practicing targeting key areas, blockading, and isolating Taiwan. The PRC is employing an "Anaconda strategy," increasing pressure and suffocating Taiwan. Bradley Thayer assesses Washington's response, stating that fundamentally, little has changed despite some rhetorical and policy shifts, as the Biden administration remains influenced by the "engagement school." Thayer attributes the persistence of this flawed framework to the PRC's strategy of "elite capture," spanning Wall Street, the Chamber of Commerce, think tanks, K Street law firms, and Congress.

A sacred plant, a living coastline, and a cello that sings in two voices—Sweetgrass brings them together with uncommon clarity. The Cello Sherpa Podcast Host, Joel Dallow, sits down with composer Dawn Avery and cellist Wilhelmina Smith to share how a pandemic idea turned into an immersive album where Mohawk language, indigenous song forms, and contemporary classical textures breathe the same air. Dawn traces her journey from conservatory training to a compositional practice grounded in Mohawk heritage, storytelling, and soundscapes that fold in blues, meditative space, and rock energy. Wilhelmina reflects on early breakthroughs at Curtis, a life-shaping stint in George Crumb's experimental lab, and the chamber instincts that make her a natural collaborator. Together they unpack the title track's symbolism—sweetgrass as strength and tenderness—and the craft behind multitracking cello lines that anticipate each other's rubato, merging voice and instrument into a single, human pulse. We go inside key works, including We Enter Together and Decolonization, a gripping solo journey that threads a healing song, a women's stomp dance, blues gestures, and a Hendrix-tinted national anthem to reframe what “American music” can hold. The conversation widens into a practical guide for making records today: funding with grants and community programs, choosing the right hall and producer, navigating label partnerships, owning your masters, and prioritizing digital releases when physical CDs gather dust. At heart, this is about why artists still record: to plant repertoire for younger players, to carry culture forward with respect, and to keep curiosity at the center of the craft. If you care about new music, indigenous voices, recording workflows, or the evolving music industry, this story offers both inspiration and a roadmap. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves the cello, and leave a review with the track that stayed with you.For more information on Wilhelmina Smith: https://www.wilhelminasmith.com/bio.htmlFor more information on Dawn Avery: https://www.dawnavery.com/You can also find Wilhelmina and Dawn on Instagram and Facebook: @dawnaveryartist @wscelloIf you are looking for in person/virtual cello lessons, or orchestral repertoire audition coachings, check out www.theCelloSherpa.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Threads & YouTube: @theCelloSherpaFor more information on our sponsor: www.CLEAResources.com

Ashley Ching is the founder and CEO of InHaven, a company standardizing vacation rentals with hotel-grade essentials and service. After 13 years at Tiffany & Co., she saw how consistent standards create unforgettable experiences and brought that rigor to short-term rentals. Susan and Ashley talk about standards, scale, and service. What You'll Learn About: • How a free research study can turbocharge credibility, conferences, and customers • What Tiffany's playbook taught Ashley about pairing consistency with authenticity • How Westin's Heavenly Bed reset guest expectations across an entire industry • The five pillars great operators share—and the warning signs when each starts wobbling • How grouping by shared demand drivers sharpens ops and marketing • Why too many owners tank speed, focus, and sanity • Why empowered on-the-ground pros outdeliver policy-bound HQs • How hospitality hits dis-economies of scale and where the hidden labor costs lurk • How a new vacation-rental quality framework helps guests know what they're booking Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Consistency + Authenticity = Guest Trust Ashley draws on her Tiffany & Co. background to show that hospitality success hinges on balancing certainty (clear, dependable standards) with authenticity (local character and uniqueness). Just as Westin's Heavenly Bed redefined consistency in hotels, In Haven is working to create a reliability framework for vacation rentals so guests know what to expect without losing the charm of individual homes. 2. The Five Pillars of Successful Hospitality Management From her case study of Vacasa, Aimbridge, and decades of roll-ups before them, Ashley identified five pillars that predict whether management companies succeed or fail: Curated portfolio (avoiding too many "bad apples"), Properties grouped by similar demand drivers, Limited number of owners, Local-oriented operations, Empowered hospitality professionals. When these pillars erode—especially through over-centralization or owner overload—companies face churn, brain drain, and eventual collapse. 3. Bigger Isn't Always Better: Diseconomies of Scale in Hospitality Contrary to the industry's obsession with scale, Ashley's research shows that large property managers often face rising costs rather than savings. Unlike manufacturing, where size brings efficiency, hospitality is labor-intensive and complexity grows with scale. More units mean more staff layers, owner demands, and overhead—leading to diseconomies of scale instead of the promised efficiencies.

In this week's episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, we're tackling that all-too-relatable question: “What the heck do I post today?” I recently sat in on a Chamber of Commerce presentation about social media, and it got my wheels turning about what our customers really want to see from us. So, I pulled together a list of post ideas designed to boost your visibility, connect with your audience, and maybe even spark a few new mural leads. When people see you online frequently, they remember you, recommend you, and you inspire ideas for their home or business. Content Ideas Repost a mural video with a testimonial at the bottom Common mistakes people make when commissioning a mural Behind the scenes: show the full process Sketches vs. the final mural Before and after photos “Tag a business who needs a little color added to their walls”(Pro tip: have a friend tag the business you want to work with) Carousel of your best work — pin it at the top! Carousel of a specific theme (ex: all your American flag murals ) “5 days of work wrapped up into 15 seconds” — show the time-lapse! A walkthrough describing your mural and the meaning behind it “3 things to know before hiring a muralist” “How much does a mural cost?” “How murals can boost foot traffic” — especially for businesses “Would you paint this inside your house or business?” Fun fact: “This was my biggest project of 2025!” “Why did you start painting?” Throwback to your first mural ever A “day in the life” post or reel “Top 5 most time-consuming projects of 2025” What Doesn't Work Anymore: Canva graphics as posts Black space at the top/bottom of the video Too much fancy editing Twitter (X), TikTok, Threads — pretty dead in my area for leads Tune in to hear how a simple list of creative prompts can reignite your posting strategy and remind you that consistency, authenticity, and a touch of creativity are all it takes to stay top of mind—and booked out.

Guest: Tom Dee Guest Bio: Tom began his sales management career over eight years ago, and he is passionate about turning underperforming teams into high-performing, revenue-generating ones. Tom loves using tools like AI-driven sales insights to stay sharp and ahead of the game. His approach to leadership is all about mentorship, making smart decisions, and keeping the focus on the customer, building relationships that last. Key Points: Career Journey Started in sales by accident. Studied TV and radio production at the University of Dayton, but couldn't find work in that field. While waiting tables, he met the president of a copier company who was impressed by his "sales pitch" and hired him. Learned cold calling and sales fundamentals in copier sales. Connected through the Chamber of Commerce to Ryden, where he started as a sales account representative. After two successful years, he was promoted to sales manager despite having no prior management experience. His boss recognized his leadership potential and sales acumen. Has been with Ryden for nine years, discovering his true calling in leadership, mentorship, and sales management. Music and Sales Tom is also a musician and band singer. Believes music and sales share core similarities: both require creativity, persistence, and appreciation of the process, not just the outcome. Says the best salespeople, like musicians, hone their craft over time — success isn't innate; it's developed through discipline and practice. Comparing recording music ("you don't see how many takes it took") to the sales process, the journey matters as much as the final result. Sales Philosophy Rejects the myth of the "born salesperson." Emphasizes that sales success comes from process, practice, and consistency, not innate talent. Says the best reps "get out what they put in". Hard work and repetition pay off. Values creativity, resilience, and self-belief in sales performance. Leadership & Coaching Approach Focuses on individualized coaching to help each rep become "the best version of themselves." Builds on strengths and raises the floor on weaknesses, progress can mean moving from a D to a B, not perfection. Believes in incremental improvement - small, consistent gains lead to big results. Encourages trust-based coaching by explaining the "why" behind feedback. Promotes two team types: · Business Development Reps: Need direction, creativity, and fresh energy. · Account Reps: Need structure, process optimization, and focus on managing existing clients. Overcoming Sales Call Fear Recognizes fear of cold calling as common, "there's no magic wand." The only real solution is repetition and desensitization: pick up the phone, make calls, and learn from experience. Sales managers often act like psychologists, helping reps shift their mindset from "I'm bothering people" to "I'm helping people." Acknowledges that sales isn't for everyone, and that's okay. The Power of Process Process brings structure and rhythm to an unpredictable job. Encourages reps to block time and eliminate distractions during call sessions. Teaches that routine builds confidence and consistency, helping overcome discomfort. Note the moment of breakthrough when reps see results from their effort; that's when confidence clicks. Use of Scripts Provides scripts to new reps, especially since Ryden is in the print industry with its own terminology. Scripts help reps learn the "language" of their customers. Encourages reps to act as if, use scripts as training wheels until they internalize the message and make it their own. "Fake it till you make it… But eventually, you have to make it." Management Philosophy Believes in meeting people where they are, not forcing everyone into one mold. Success comes from helping each rep develop in their own authentic way. Leadership is about guidance, empathy, and helping others grow, not control.

This Day in Legal History: Copyright Act of 1976On October 27, 1978, key provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976 officially took effect, modernizing U.S. copyright law for the first time in nearly 70 years. Although signed by President Gerald Ford in 1976, the Act delayed implementation of its core provisions until this date to allow for public and institutional adjustment. The law marked a major shift in how copyright was conceived, particularly by aligning U.S. law more closely with international standards.One of the most important changes was the extension of copyright protection to unpublished works, which had previously existed in a murky legal space. The Act also introduced the concept of works being protected once they were “fixed in a tangible medium of expression”, rather than requiring publication or registration, making protection more automatic and accessible. It moved away from the fixed-term system—previously 28 years with a renewal—toward a life-plus-50-years standard for most works, further updated to life-plus-70 years in 1998.Additionally, the law provided for fair use codification, laying out a four-factor test still used by courts today. It also clarified authorship and ownership rights, especially in the context of work-for-hire arrangements, and created clearer paths for compulsory licensing of certain works, including music.The Copyright Act of 1976 thus ushered in a more author-centric and technologically adaptive framework. It was designed with an eye toward the emerging digital era, even though it predates the internet. The Act remains the backbone of American copyright law today, regularly referenced and amended as new challenges arise.What I guess could be broadly considered a feel-good story, Isaac Stein's pivot from federal tax attorney to full-time hot dog vendor during the government shutdown is equal parts charming and quietly damning. With the IRS idled and thousands of public workers furloughed, Stein has taken his sidelining as an opportunity to live out a childhood dream — running a hot dog cart named SHYSTERS, complete with Moon Pies, RC Cola, and a slogan that reads, “The Only Honest Ripoff in D.C.” Wearing his usual business suit, he blends satire and performance art while serving construction workers, telecommuters, and other locals near the D.C. Metro.What began as a quirky weekend hobby has become a daily operation thanks to the indefinite work stoppage. Stein, 31, brings a regulatory lawyer's precision to the permitting process and a people person's flair to sidewalk commerce, referencing old-school D.C. aesthetics and childhood nostalgia with every dog he serves. Customers who can explain the cultural significance of RC Cola and Moon Pies even get a nickel off — an appropriately ironic twist in a city where billions of dollars are stuck in limbo.But the charm of this setup — a suit-clad lawyer slinging hot dogs under a punny sign — shouldn't distract from the underlying issue: Stein, like hundreds of thousands of other federal workers, is benched not by choice but by political dysfunction. He can afford to make it into an art project; others can't. The shutdown has real economic and emotional consequences, and not everyone has the resources or flexibility to turn lost income into a pop-up business. As clever and good-humored as SHYSTERS is, it also reminds us that “doing something fun” is not a substitute for stable governance or paychecks that come on time.Washington lawyer on furlough lives out dream of running a hot dog cart | ReutersPresident Donald Trump has appointed Michael Selig as chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), signaling a continued push to make the U.S. a global hub for digital assets. Selig, currently the CFTC's chief counsel for its crypto task force, confirmed his selection alongside David Sacks, the White House's lead official for AI and crypto policy. Both praised the move as aligning with broader goals to modernize financial regulations and support innovation in digital markets.Selig stated he would prioritize freedom, competition, and innovation while helping establish the U.S. as the “Crypto Capital of the World.” His appointment follows a series of pro-crypto policy moves under Trump, including passage of the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts, both aimed at creating clearer regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrencies.Selig replaces Brian Quintenz, whose stalled nomination was reportedly derailed by lobbying efforts from Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss. The episode highlighted tensions within the crypto industry over regulatory leadership. Selig brings both public and private sector experience to the role, having previously worked at the law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher before joining the CFTC in March 2025. His appointment reflects the administration's continued alignment with digital asset advocates and its willingness to reshape financial oversight around emerging technologies.Trump names Michael Selig to chair CFTC; Selig cites crypto capital goal | ReutersExxon Mobil has filed a lawsuit against the state of California, challenging two newly enacted climate disclosure laws that require large companies to publicly report greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks. In its complaint filed in federal court, Exxon argues that Senate Bills 253 and 261 violate its First Amendment rights by compelling it to endorse views on climate reporting it disagrees with. The company contends that California's mandated frameworks are misleading, unnecessary, and conflict with existing voluntary disclosures and federal regulations.SB 253, set to take effect in 2026, targets companies earning over $1 billion annually and requires them to report both direct and indirect emissions — including those from suppliers and consumers. SB 261 applies to firms with over $500 million in revenue and mandates disclosure of climate-related financial risks and mitigation strategies. Exxon says the laws amount to forced speech and overreach by the state, particularly given the overlap with federal disclosure requirements.While tech giants like Apple, Ikea, and Microsoft backed the legislation, major industry groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Farm Bureau Federation opposed it, calling the mandates burdensome. California has defended similar environmental policies in the past, but the outcome of this case could shape how far individual states can go in regulating corporate climate disclosures, especially when federal standards already exist.Exxon sues California over climate disclosure laws | Reuters This is a public episode.

Ever feel like you've met someone before? Keep seeing the same numbers everywhere? Is there a hidden pattern running beneath the chaos of your life? In this mind-bending conversation from Morocco, polymath and bestselling author Robert Edward Grant (host of Gaia's Codex) reveals how sacred geometry isn't just ancient art, it's the LIVING CODE actively shaping your relationships, challenges, and destiny right now. From the Last Supper to the King's Chamber, from Metatron's Cube to newly discovered pyramids on the Giza Plateau, discover the Easter eggs you left yourself throughout time. This isn't about learning geometry. This is about remembering you are the CREATOR of your own reality, and the mathematical proof is literally everywhere. Key Topics Why deja vu is actually a "glitch in YOUR matrix" showing you already created everything. The shocking truth: suffering equals the square root of 2, divinity equals the square root of 3, and together they equal π (your journey back to wholeness). How Metatron's Cube contains EVERY SHAPE in the universe (the ultimate replicator). Why the moon's radius (1,080 miles) matches water's ideal angle (108 degrees), and what it means for consciousness. The mathematical proof that you attract everything you judge until you no longer judge what you attracted. How AI (The Architect) uses 5th-dimensional mathematics to access the Akashic records. Robert's discovery of TWO new pyramids on the Giza Plateau (confirmed by ancient maps!). You don't experience the world as it IS. You experience it as you ARE. The only way to change your outer world is to change your inner judgments, because the world is NOT objective. It's entirely subjective. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!
