Would you risk your health for a slice of week-old turkey, or trust your iPhone to cure your motion sickness? This episode of dives headfirst into the quirks and questions that make everyday life so entertaining! Join Sandy and Tricia as they kick off with a playful debate on the best (and worst) email signatures—would you sign off with “You'll never take me alive”? The duo then tackles the post-Thanksgiving dilemma: just how long can you push the limits on leftovers before you're playing bacterial roulette? Sandy shares a Reader's Digest tip that might just save your life: “You should not store your leftovers in aluminum foil because it could kill you. Probably not actually going to kill you. That's kind of the extreme version of it.” The conversation spirals into hilarious family stories, with Tricia recalling, “The food was prepared and then the food set out on the counter in the serving dishes all day and people walked by and got bites all day long. I don't recall anybody in my family ever getting food poisoning or dying from food poisoning because it sat out for a while.” But the fun doesn't stop there! Discover the latest iPhone feature that claims to ease motion sickness—will Tricia dare to look at her phone while feeling queasy? “That goes against everything in my brain because the idea of looking at my phone in a car instantly makes me want to throw up,” she confesses, promising to try the new trick for science. The episode also features a rapid-fire round of “Care or Don't Care,” where Sandy and Tricia debate the merits (and horrors) of fish pedicures, Christopher Columbus's questionable mermaid sightings, and the jaw-dropping number of avocados Chipotle uses daily. “He thought that manatees were mermaids on his first journey to America and he wrote in his journal in 1493 that he saw three mermaids but wrote, ‘They're not so beautiful as they're said to be.'” Packed with laughter, relatable mishaps, and surprising facts, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves witty banter and real-life adventures.

From professional wakeboarder to CEO managing $250M+ in commercial real estate investments, Nick Jones shares proven strategies for building successful real estate businesses through strategic partnerships, effective capital raising, and protecting investor interests. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Nick Jones, CEO of Alakai Capital, who has underwritten and acquired over 70 commercial investments and developments representing more than $250 million in value. Nick currently oversees 800,000+ square feet of industrial, retail, office, and medical assets across multiple states. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover how to raise outside capital for your first commercial real estate deal while protecting downside risk, why syndication can work better than funds when you can close deals quickly with trusted investors, and the surprising truth about "off-market" deals versus listed properties in today's transparent market. Nick shares how to build broker relationships that generate consistent deal flow without constantly hunting for opportunities, due diligence strategies when high-credit tenants won't share financial information, and why Covid flipped conventional wisdom about credit tenants versus mom and pop operators. You'll also learn about the strategic value of balancing consistent real estate returns with selective angel investments, how to navigate market trends including drive-through retail and efficiency-focused opportunities, and what freedom means beyond just financial independence. NICK'S JOURNEY: Nick's path wasn't linear. Growing up near Microsoft and Nintendo in Redmond, Washington, he found real estate "incredibly boring" until witnessing how it connected to fascinating industries. After his father and grandfather passed away during his senior year of high school, Nick moved to Florida to pursue professional wakeboarding, eventually earning a podium finish at the World Championships in 2011 while graduating summa cum laude from the University of Central Florida. The dean of UCF's real estate program, whose son was also a professional athlete, reignited Nick's interest in commercial real estate investment and development. Nick started in land brokerage during 2011-2012 when Florida land was worth less than the buildings next to it, learning through challenging cold calls to developers. FIRST DEAL LESSONS: Nick's entry into investing came through a vacant Taco Bell property. Working with a broker partner, they secured the building, signed a 10-year lease with a new tenant, and only had to replace the HVAC and roof. The timing proved fortunate - securing 80% loan to value at 2% interest on an interest-only basis during the post-financial crisis recovery. That first deal taught valuable lessons about protecting downside risk and building tenant relationships while delivering one of his strongest returns ever. CAPITAL RAISING EVOLUTION: For his first capital raise, Nick bought an old bank branch all cash with plans to tear it down and build a quick service restaurant. To protect downside risk as a new sponsor, he structured it with no debt and two years of interest and tax reserves. After approaching friends' parents, fellow brokers, and creating a detailed investment memorandum, a tenant approached wanting to lease the existing building as-is with a 10-year lease. Nick refinanced at 50% LTV, pulled equity out, and used those proceeds to buy a second deal. That snowball effect has grown to approximately 100 investors making about 500 investments with his company. KEY INSIGHTS: Nick continues syndicating individual deals instead of raising funds because his deals follow similar patterns with consistent return theses. This approach gives investors freedom to select which markets and property types align with their preferences while maintaining speed to close. Managing investor capital creates heightened responsibility that sharpens every aspect of deal execution. Nick approaches it similarly to personally guaranteeing loans - while losing your own capital is unfortunate, losing someone else's carries profound implications for relationships and reputation. The biggest lesson from deals that didn't go as planned: contracts matter, but people matter just as much. When tenants respond unusually quickly to lease documents without redlines for 10-15 year commitments, it raises red flags. During Covid, high-credit tenants had attorneys advising them to stop paying rent while small bay industrial mom and pop tenants maintained perfect payment records. BROKER RELATIONSHIPS: The majority of Nick's deals come through brokers he's built long-term relationships with over years. These relationships prove valuable because brokers trust Nick will maintain confidentiality, move quickly through underwriting, and they understand his investment criteria. After years of exchanging deals and feedback, brokers know which opportunities match his thesis. MARKET TRENDS: Interest rate movements create near-term positivity while inflation continues hitting sectors unevenly, creating inefficiencies and opportunities. The retail apocalypse predictions following Covid haven't materialized because people still crave experiences. Drive-throughs represent a clear trend as efficiency becomes paramount - almost every concept has figured out how to use them successfully, including Chipotle proving the model works for food types that seemed ill-suited initially. Perfect for real estate investors considering raising outside capital, operators building broker networks, and anyone interested in how successful commercial real estate investors structure deals and protect investor capital.FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE: https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/nickjones FOR MORE ON NICK JONES:https://www.alakai-capital.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/alakaicapital/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjonesrealestate/https://www.instagram.com/alakaicapital/ FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFERhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/https://www.coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

In this week's episode, we develop a theory of Scientifica, a fashion aesthetic that borrows from the visual language of science, with influences ranging from Victorian taxonomy to Utopian Scholastic nostalgia to legacy science-fiction world-building.

Could a pandemic business-plan lesson for a bored kid spark the next breakout fast-casual brand?This episode moves fast — because Rob Gresham's career has never slowed down. Chris Ressa sits with the restaurant veteran who went from washing dishes at 15 to helping architect the early operational engine behind CAVA's meteoric growth from zero to 80 stores.Rob shares the wild ride: running a steakhouse kitchen as a teenager, getting recruited by Chipotle to fix troubled locations, learning the business side under industry giants, and joining CAVA before it was a household name — building systems, opening markets, and helping scale a brand that eventually went public.Then the pandemic hit. Consulting work vanished. His son was bored. So Rob turned a homeschool project into something much bigger: a business plan for a scratch-made, allergen-conscious chicken concept. When it came time to name it, Rob's son delivered the winner: Isaac's — inspired by Isaac Newton, who invented calculus and discovered gravity while quarantined during the plague. “He changed the world in quarantine,” his son said. “You created a restaurant. Name it Isaac's.”Today, Isaac's Poultry Market has two booming locations, a cult following, and the DNA of a future fast-casual standout. Rob's story is momentum, grit, and timing — the kind Retail Retold was made for.What You'll Hear:How Rob went from washing dishes at 15 to helping scale CAVA into an 80-unit national powerhouseThe pivotal career moves — and mentors — that shaped his operator mindsetWhy he left CAVA at its peak and walked straight into entrepreneurshipThe pandemic moment that sparked Isaac's Poultry Market (and how his son named it)What it really takes to open a restaurant during supply-chain chaos and skyrocketing construction costsHow Rob chose his first two locations — and the real-world negotiation battles behind themWhy exclusives matter, how fast-casual operators think about competition, and the markets he's targeting nextThe scratch-made, allergen-friendly philosophy behind Isaac's menuAnd the big question: Is Isaac's positioned to become the next major fast-casual brand?Chapters00:00 — From Dish Pit to DriveHow a 15-year-old dishwasher discovered his path — and his ambition — in the restaurant world.02:00 — Learning the Business Beyond the KitchenThe mentors and moments that pushed Rob from chef to full-scale operator.04:45 — Chipotle, CAVA, and Fixing What's BrokenRob's early role in stabilizing stores and helping build CAVA's operational backbone from day zero.06:30 — Building a Rocketship BrandCross-country construction sprints, tiny founding teams, and opening stores at breakneck speed.09:00 — The Decision to Walk AwayWhy Rob left CAVA at its peak and refused to transition into an office role.13:00 — Pandemic Curveball → Entrepreneurial BreakthroughHow a business-plan lesson with his son turned into the foundation for Isaac's Poultry Market.14:00 — Naming Isaac's: A Quarantine Stroke of GeniusThe Isaac Newton inspiration that became a bold, meaningful brand name.17:00 — Building Location #1 in a Broken Supply ChainConstruction chaos, blown budgets, and the reality of opening a restaurant during COVID.22:00 — The Battle for Location #2Inside the seven-month negotiation to secure exclusives and protect the emerging brand.29:00 — The Future of Isaac's Poultry MarketHow Rob is approaching growth, second-gen spaces, and...

Four years after the first Starbucks store in the US unionized in 2021, workers across the country are still facing rampant union busting and still fighting for a first contract with the coffee giant. That is why a supermajority of unionized baristas with Starbucks Workers United recently voted to authorize an Unfair Labor Practice strike, which is set to begin on Thursday, Nov. 13, on “Red Cup Day,” in over 25 cities around the US. “Union baristas mean business and are ready to do whatever it takes to win a fair contract and end Starbucks' unfair labor practices,” says Michelle Eisen, Starbucks Workers United spokesperson and 15-year veteran barista. “If Starbucks keeps stonewalling, they should expect to see their business grind to a halt.

In this lively Restaurant Owners Uncorked chat, Anesh Bodasing, founder of fast-casual Indian concept Tiffin Box, traces a 30-year hospitality journey that began with an audacious “give me 60 days” pitch to Hard Rock Café in Cape Town, winds through Canada, South Africa, the UK, and South Florida, and culminates in launching Tiffin Box in 2019 (right before COVID), surviving a bruising first year, testing a food hall, shutting the original West Palm store, and smartly pivoting to dense college-town sites (FSU/FAMU in Tallahassee, UF in Gainesville). Framing Tiffin Box as “Chipotle for Indian,” he shares lessons on branding, build-out nitty-gritty, cash-flow reality, and a service-first ethos (own the mistake, fix it fast, win loyalty), while aiming to “crack the code” for mainstreaming authentic, everyday Indian food and ultimately franchising.10 Takeaways Bold beginnings pay off: confidence got Anesh his first shot at Hard Rock and set the tone for his career. “Chipotle for Indian” creates instant understanding for new guests unfamiliar with the cuisine. Brand words matter: “Americanized” signaled watered-down; switching to “fast, fresh Indian” restored credibility. Cash flow rules everything during build-out; opening day is the first chance money can flow back in. Owner vs. operator: the job shifts from running shifts to deciding lights, outlets, signage, leases—every detail. Pandemic resilience: momentum stalled in 2020, but tight pivots (and lessons from a short-lived food hall) refined the model. Site strategy upgrade: closing West Palm and targeting student-dense, walkable college corridors increased fit and foot traffic. Service > food > price: great service makes guests forgiving and price-agnostic; poor service makes every dollar feel worse. Reviews are a gift: answer fast, fix the problem, and you'll often create your most loyal fans from a bad moment. Founder availability matters: post your number, handle issues personally, and build trust at scale.

Opie kicks off the early-morning stream with wet hair and zero filter alongside Ron the Waiter. They torch NYC's mayoral circus — Zohran “Mom Donnie” Mamdani's $30/hr minimum wage fantasy, Cuomo's comeback creep, and Curtis Sliwa's leaky-eyed cat rants. Ron breaks down why you always tip in cash (spoiler: credit cards rob you blind), while Opie relives stealing porn mags and sprinting for freedom. From hurricane-crushed Jamaica to air traffic controllers delivering Chipotle, plus THC Doritos, Jewish vampires, and Trump's Epstein panic — it's unhinged, unapologetic, and 100% Opie Radio.

Ticked Off Tuesday finds Jared raspy-voiced in Richmond after a blur of flights, posting up in a mall and relishing his wander-and-cookie ritual, then venting about middle seat life as a Delta Diamond and wishing for a literal sheriff badge to flash at clueless travelers. He rails against a candy shop that smelled like someone reheated lasagna instead of magic and whimsy, and a hotel check-in where two desk clerks gave him robot silence after his attempt at small talk when he'd finally removed his headphones to be human. Listener complaints include a coworker policing water bottles and microplastics like a morality cop, the nightmare of getting to LaGuardia on public transit, and a neighbor who tattles to the HOA instead of speaking directly about dogs running on a golf course. The kicker is a Chipotle decorated with fake construction tape that looked fully closed, sending a listener on an emotional roller coaster after a brutal day working with cancer patients.Support the show and get 10% off your Hero Bread order with code JTRAIN at https://www.hero.co Support the show and get 30% off your first Cornbread Hemp order.
