Michael Idov talks to Spymasters about his new novel THE CORMORANT HUNT, screenwriting, The Collaborators, Doug Lyman, geopolitics and the spy novel and walking back the cat. THE CORMORANT HUNT: Disheartened CIA officer Ari Falk, now hiding in the Republic of Georgia, is hailed as a hero by some and branded a traitor by others after blowing the lid off a massive conspiracy. But his quiet exile is shattered when a mission arises―one perfectly suited for someone as jaded and unpredictable as him.This stand-alone sequel thrusts us into a modern era of geopolitical conflict, where a hot war in Europe and shadowy political schemes set the stage for danger at every turn. Enter Asha Tamaskar, a brilliant, neurodivergent CIA officer with her own secrets, and Felix Burnham, a chilling antagonist with radical alliances that could change the global balance of power. From Tbilisi to Prague, Andorra to Bethesda, Idov crafts vivid, authentic settings that amplify the pulse-pounding action.Far from the usual spy thriller, The Cormorant Hunt is brimming with razor-sharp dialogue, heart-stopping twists, and complex character dynamics that bring humanity to the chaos. Every border crossed carries real-world consequences, making this a thriller that feels both urgent and unforgettable. Blending suspense, wit, and authentic storytelling, it's a must-read for fans of political intrigue, espionage, and thrillers that don't play by the rules. Paul Burke is the editor of Aspects of Crime and the presenter of Spymasters. His first book SPIES ON SCREEN will be published on 24th September. Learn more about your ad choices.

From call center inefficiencies and EMR limitations to the role of data in driving change, they share practical strategies for improving patient access, increasing conversion, and turning these traditionally siloed teams into true collaborators.

Originally from Mexico City, she moved to the Cancun area for what was supposed to be a short project and ended up building a 30-year career rooted in operations, guest experience, safety, logistics, and leadership. Today, she helps lead a fast-growing portfolio that includes parks, tours, ferries, catamarans, and yachts, all designed to celebrate Mexican culture, connect visitors with nature, and deliver a seamless vacation experience. In this interview, Elizabeth talks about tourism in Mexico, creating a culture of learning, and 18,000 collaborators. Tourism in Mexico “Grupo Xcaret is located in the Mexican Caribbean near Cancun area.” Elizabeth explains how the company grew from two iconic parks into a full tourism ecosystem that touches nearly every part of a visitor's trip. Beyond parks and tours, Grupo Xcaret expanded into hotels with an “all fun inclusive” concept that bundles transportation, access to parks and tours, and a complete vacation experience into one package. She also shares how their tour operations focus on details that shape comfort and satisfaction, like designing their Chichen Itza buses with two bathrooms instead of one. Across parks, nature-based experiences, cultural celebrations, and transportation on land and sea, Elizabeth positions Grupo Xcaret as both a destination and a major driver within the broader tourism landscape in Mexico. Creating a culture of learning “What can we do more impressively? Not just for the visitors, but also for our people.” When asked about being recognized as a top place to work, Elizabeth goes back to the earliest “seeds” of the company's culture. She describes how Grupo Xcaret invested in education by providing teachers and class time during working hours so team members could complete elementary school and later high school, creating ripple effects that elevated families and communities over generations. That learning mindset continues today through constant improvement, listening systems, and leadership behaviors that stay grounded in real guest and employee experiences. Elizabeth emphasizes that the company doesn't treat learning as a one-time training event, it's part of how they evolve with new generations, new technology, and rapid expansion while still trying to protect what made the culture special in the first place. 18,000 collaborators “The challenge with that is that opening operations and going from 350 people to 18,000 collaborators is how you permeate that culture.” Elizabeth describes the scale of growth, from a small operation of a few hundred people to a massive organization, and the challenge of keeping the culture consistent as new parks, hotels, and business lines launch. She explains that one tactic is ensuring that at least 30% of the team in a new operation comes from established parts of the organization, so the “DNA” carries forward and helps onboard new people into the purpose and pride of the company. She also explains why they use the term “collaborators” instead of employees; it reflects the belief that everyone contributes ideas and value, from frontline roles to leadership. Through tools like “Cafe con Liz,” quality circles, surveys, transparent postings, and career paths, Elizabeth outlines how they try to keep communication open, trust strong, and collaboration real across a workforce of 18,000.   Elizabeth can be reached on LinkedIn, as well as by email at elugo@xcaret.com.

ProducerHead Bars is a space for ideas that stand on their own. Short reflections and studio frameworks pulled from experience, conversation, and the ongoing pursuit of becoming a better producer.This entry focuses on a simple but powerful strategy for overcoming creative paralysis: The Piñata Method.The Problem: Creative FreezeEven experienced producers run into moments where they sit down to make music and freeze. Sometimes it looks like procrastination. Scrolling. Cleaning the studio. Doing anything except the thing you actually sat down to do.But procrastination isn't necessarily laziness. More often, it's a signal of overwhelm. When the scope of a project exceeds your perceived ability to navigate it, the brain chooses avoidance instead of action.The issue isn't capability. It's clarity.The Piñata MethodThe Piñata Method is a way to break overwhelming creative projects into pieces until the next step becomes obvious. Instead of staring at the entire goal, you smash the project open and look at what falls out.Imagine your goal is to complete a 10-track album.At first glance, that's a massive undertaking. But if you smash that project open, working backwards, you start to see its components: 10 mastered songs.Smash those again and you see: 10 mixed songs.Smash those again and you see: 10 produced tracks.And before that? Individual production sessions.By working backwards from the finished goal, you create a clear map from the end point to the very next step. In this example, the path to a finished album starts with something much smaller: Opening your DAW and beginning one session.Capacity ChangesYour capacity as a producer is not fixed.Your skills improve. Your schedule changes. Collaborators enter or leave the process. Life shifts.The Piñata Method accounts for this. The goal remains the same, but the structure of the steps can adapt. If your capacity grows, steps may combine. If your capacity shrinks, you simply break them down again.The map evolves, but the destination stays intact.The TakeawayCreative paralysis rarely comes from a lack of ability. It comes from trying to tackle too much at once.The Piñata Method reminds you that every large creative accomplishment is just the accumulation of smaller actions.A wall is laid one brick at a time.An album is finished one session at a time.So if you're feeling stuck, take the project in front of you and smash it open. Break it down until the next step is clear.Then take that step.Once you begin moving again, the possibility of everything you're trying to create returns with you.Connect with Toru:* Website: torubeat.com* Instagram: @torubeat* YouTube: @torubeat* Spotify: Toru* Apple Music: ToruJoin The ProducerHead CommunityWhen you subscribe you'll get access to the full collection of Invisible Instruments, Sonic Stimulus Vol. 1, a royalty-free sample pack created for the community by Toru, access to ProducerHead Bars write-ups and extended frameworks, and an additional opportunity to have your music featured in The Pocket, a monthly community curation from ProducerHead.This episode was co-produced, engineered and edited by Matthew Diaz.From ProducerHead, this is Toru, and in a way, so are you.

Probiotics. They are often marketed as the end of all and be all for all our health issues. And they CAN do some real good. There is NO DOUBT a connection with overall heath and gut health…and NO ONE can deny that. But probiotics gets grey for some women's health issues. A new prospective, single-arm, non-blinded, multicenter study across 31 hospitals in Japan is making some pretty dramatic claims regarding oral probiotics and recurrent spontaneous preterm birth (ePUB).

Let help uncork your memoir through a 12 week memoir mentorship program: https://mikecarlon.com/memoir-cohorts/ “There's always another way of looking at things. Collaborators win bigger—in business, families, communities, everywhere.” In this episode of Uncorking a Story, Mike sits down with Priscilla McKinney—CEO and “Mama Bird” of Little Bird Marketing, author of Collaboration Is the New Competition, keynote speaker, podcaster, and lifelong creative. From growing up as part of a traveling Christian family band to building a thriving B2B marketing agency, Priscilla shares her remarkable journey of resilience, reinvention, and redefining what leadership looks like. She opens up about the tornado that destroyed her studio, the anthropology roots that shaped her worldview, the collaborative mindset behind her book, and the power of creating something from nothing. Whether you're a marketer, creative, entrepreneur, or leader, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about how work gets done—and why collaboration beats competition every time. Key Themes: Creative roots matter. Priscilla's childhood—writing skits, spoofing commercials, performing with her family—instilled a lifelong belief that ideas can come from anywhere. Anthropology shaped her business philosophy. Her cultural anthropology background trained her to see multiple perspectives and understand human behavior—an essential lens for modern marketing and collaboration. Resilience can redefine your path. After a tornado destroyed 35% of her town and her studio burned down weeks later, Priscilla rebuilt with clarity and purpose, eventually creating Little Bird Marketing. Collaboration outperforms competition. Her book breaks down the mindset shift required to work collaboratively and the “anchors” needed to make collaboration sustainable long‑term. Writing is never a solitary act. From scribes to editors to industry peers, Priscilla highlights how creating a book is inherently collaborative—even when the ideas are your own. Self‑publishing can be a strategic business choice. With an existing platform, team, and marketing machine, Priscilla turned her book into a powerful calling card for speaking, podcasting, and client growth. Little Bird Marketing thrives in B2B. Her team blends creativity with serious revenue discipline, helping high‑ticket B2B brands stand out, differentiate, and grow.

Bryan Boling sits down for a spoiler-free chat with novelist Michael Idov, diving into The Cormorant Hunt, the standalone sequel to his acclaimed spy thriller The Collaborators. Idov discusses the challenge of writing a compelling antagonist in Felix Burnham—a fusion of Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate who pushes protagonist Ari Falk to his limits. They explore how real-world extremism, post-COVID paranoia, and disinformation influence modern spy fiction, and why setting stories in overlooked global locales adds authenticity. From the Reichsbürger to action-packed drone chases in Georgia (the country), Idov breaks down how topical fiction is crafted under the ticking clock of world events. Michael also shared some news about an upcoming spy thriller film he is directing with Noomi Rapace in the lead. Good news for the Brits, The Cormorant Hunt is scheduled to be released in the UK in May.

If you have a big vision and you're secretly exhausted trying to carry it alone, this conversation is for you.Because the fastest way to kill a brilliant idea is not lack of money, lack of time, or lack of talent.It's trying to be the hero.Today, I'm breaking down the leadership shift that turns ideas into movements and burnout into freedom. This is about how to build with people, not for them, and why that distinction changes everything.If you're building a business, a nonprofit, a community, or a new initiative and you want it to grow without consuming your life, this episode will give you the framework.What You'll LearnThe fatal flaw of the “hero entrepreneur” and why it creates burnout instead of freedomThe difference between building for people and building with peopleWhy delegating tasks creates dependency, but inviting ownership creates momentumThe Vision Gathering method and how to use it to create real collaborationWhen you tell people what to do, you get compliance.When you invite them into creation, you get commitment.This episode shows you how to stop being the bottleneck and start being the visionary who creates space for others to step into leadership with you.That's how movements are built.That's how freedom is created.And that's how your vision starts serving your life instead of consuming it.Stop being the hero.Start being the leader who empowers others to create with you.Press play if you're ready to stop carrying it all and start building something that actually lasts.Join Word Bootcamp: My brand-new ONE TIME ONLY LIVE ON ZOOM, 4-week workshop to build the muscle of your word so that your word is law in the universe.

What is the true structure of reality? In his fourth appearance on Mind-Body Solution, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman returns with the most significant update yet to Conscious Realism: trace logic, decorated permutations, the emergence of spacetime from networks of conscious agents, and the strongest mathematical progress so far toward deriving Minkowski space from consciousness itself. Across nearly three hours, we explore what has changed in Hoffman's thinking since our last dialogue two years ago: breakthroughs in the trace-order formalism, new clarifications on evolution and perception, deeper implications for identity and suffering, and the surprising philosophical consequences of consciousness being fundamental. This is Hoffman at his most refined - technically rigorous, personally honest, and metaphysically bold.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) — Intro(03:12) — What has changed in Hoffman's thinking in the last two years?

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has kept the world's attention fixed squarely on him these past few days with a remarkable blend of fashion pivots, business intrigue, health challenges, and family milestones. The most viral moment came as the 31-year-old superstar arrived beard-free alongside Hailey Bieber at Game 3 of the 2025 World Series at Dodger Stadium. According to IMDb and Just Jared, this fresh-faced public appearance—cheering for his beloved Toronto Blue Jays—was widely interpreted as a reset for Bieber's image and quickly made him a trending topic across social media and entertainment sites. He wore a custom Blue Jays jersey, launched some playful shade at Shohei Ohtani, and reminded fans that he remains as comfortable in the front row of major sporting events as he is onstage.Simultaneously, Bieber's business world is buzzing. After announcing via Instagram Stories that he is no longer involved with his former streetwear label Drew House—stating it no longer reflects him, Hailey, or their life, a move confirmed by reporting from PEOPLE and detailed podcasts—he's focused on his new apparel and accessories line, SKYLRK. AOL and PEOPLE report that Bieber has teased the brand heavily on Instagram, showcasing pieces such as bold platform sandals, sweatshirts, and a notably similar phone case to that of Hailey's Rhode beauty line—fuel for both family synergy and some social media side-eye. So far, there's no official launch date for SKYLRK, but interested fans can already sign up for updates.On the personal front, Bieber and Hailey's family life has also been in the spotlight. The couple celebrated the birth of their first son, Jack Blues, in August 2024, and Hailey's own ambitions continue to ascend—E.L.F. Beauty acquired Rhode for a headline-making one billion dollars in May, as reported by PEOPLE and confirmed by business press. Hailey steps into new roles as chief creative officer and head of innovation for the merged brand.But not everything has been smooth sailing. Justin took a spill from his Onewheel electric skateboard and suffered a rib injury, which he described on Twitch as “gnarly” and still affecting his performance in both daily life and music rehearsals. With these hurdles, Bieber's inner circle, according to some unconfirmed tabloid reports, have voiced concern about personal and professional pressures mounting, but spokespersons have publicly refuted any serious financial or health crises.With Coachella 2026 on the horizon—where he will headline alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G—Justin is preparing for an emphatic return to music, streaming his creative process and new material on social media and stoking rumors about a comeback album and world tour. Collaborators like producer Mk.gee confirm studio work is well underway. For Justin Bieber, a new era is beginning—marked by a clean face, a fashionable pivot, and, if industry insiders are right, a much-anticipated musical renaissance.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

SEASON 4 EPISODE 32: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Quislings. Traitors. Cowards. Capitulators. Collaborators. Fakes. Frauds. Enablers. Betrayers. Failures. Political Prostitutes. Senators Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King need to be expelled from the Democratic party and any that mistakenly think they have a chance of retaining their seats must be primaried. Must be. They are not progressives, they are not pragmatists, they are not even moderates. They are fools. Their careers must be ended. Now. Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King. Now. Done. Forgotten. Let us hear their names no more. Last night these eight Senators voted to fold, without any pressure, without any bribe, without anything. They voted to kick millions of Americans off ObamaCare in order to reopen and fund the government – for only three months, mind you – in exchange not for magic beans but just the promise of a vote in which they’ll GET magic beans – a vote ON the health care subsidies - IF half a dozen Republicans defy Trump. A vote about magic beans. Which they won’t win. Their rationalizations were pathetic and suggested their familiarity with the reality of the Senate, of Trump, of the Republican Party, was less than that of the average Senate Page. What's worse is, this happens now as the reality becomes more and clear: Trump’s mind is gone. It’s so bad even The Washington Post noticed. It’s so bad The Washington Post even put it on their front page. He’s hyping weight loss drugs. In The Oval Office. And how he and he alone can bring down their price. And a weight loss patient there to extoll weight loss drugs and say how safe they are and praise Trump’s wonderfulness… collapses. Folds. Drops, slow-motion, like a deflating inflatable tube man at a used car sales lot. Trump – whose mind is gone - not only doesn’t help the guy on the floor… he’s offended he upstaged him. And then Trump – whose MIND IS GONE - falls asleep. For the second time. Or as The Washington Post put it: “A Closer Look At Trump’s Apparent Struggles To Fight Off Sleep In The Oval Office” read the Post headline. “A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds found that the president spent nearly 20 minutes apparently battling to keep his eyes open…” 815 words follow. And four pictures. One of Trump – whose mind is gone - with one eye closed. One with one eye closed and two fingers rubbing it. One with both eyes closed. One where you can almost SEE the snoring. Even. The Washington Post. Knows It. Let’s step back from the nuts-and-bolts of the government shutdown to try to process how it was perceived by Trump…whose mind is gone. HE thought it would be a GOOD idea to cut off food stamps so lines at soup kitchens would get longer just as it was getting cold. He thought the correct political move as the Holidays approached was… government-sponsored starvation. He believed that the country would praise him for… gradually shutting down all air travel – including all air travel FOR HIS SUPPORTERS – first for Thanksgiving and then for Christmas and New Year’s. He thought these were good political moves. SPORTSBALLCENTER (30:00): Yes, legal gambling could send two Cleveland pitchers to jail for 65 years. But no, they didn't actually make a Shohei Ohtani Used Jockstrap baseball card. B-Block (38:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Politico thinks the first thing a Mayor-Elect of New York has to do is answer questions about the 2028 Senate elections. The Breaker media newsletter finds the New York Times fricasseeing its own digital books. That's right: FIFA isn't just polishing Trump's knob, it's inventing a "Peace Prize" so it can polish it harder. And Dr. Oz wants you to lose 400 pounds by the midterms.

Imagine stepping into a serene Wyoming forest for a simple elk hunt, only to fire a shot that defies physics—your bullet crumpling mid-air in eerie silence. What invisible force stopped it? On October 25, 1974, oilfield worker Carl Higdon faced this nightmare, turning to confront a neckless humanoid in a black jumpsuit: "Ausso One," communicating telepathically with slanted eyes and horn-like protrusions. Was this an alien hunter, mirroring Carl's own pursuit?Compelled by an unseen will, Higdon swallows a mysterious pill and enters a hovering transparent cube. Inside: his miniaturized elk herd, frozen; two identical beings at the controls. In a flash, he's hurled 163,000 light-years to a blinding planet teeming with Earth animals in enclosures—and wandering humans, including a familiar gray-haired man. Abducted captives? Collaborators? Escorted to a spiraling tower, Carl endures invasive scans by a dozen entities, only to be rejected: "Not what we need." Why? His vasectomy? Age? Or something more sinister about their mutations and cosmic "hunting" for biological specimens?Awakening disoriented in the dark, Higdon finds his truck impossibly relocated in a muddy ravine—no tracks, as if airlifted. Hospital tests reveal miracles: vanished tuberculosis scars and kidney stones, plus agonizing light sensitivity. Hypnosis with UFO expert Dr. Leo Sprinkle uncovers vivid details, backed by polygraphs, a deformed bullet, wilted grass, and locals' sightings of flashing sky lights. Skeptics cry hallucination from hypoxia or sci-fi influence, but parallels to Travis Walton's case beg: Are extraterrestrials harvesting us?Read MF Thomas' novels Like Clockwork https://amzn.to/417lOzyArcade https://amzn.to/4aTpisxA Sickness in Time https://amzn.to/41apSPKSeeing by Moonlight ...

Professor Suzannah Lipscomb engages in a captivating conversation with award-winning dramatist Liz Duffy Adams about the new Royal Shakespeare production of her play Born With Teeth, which imagines a thrilling collaboration between William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe.

Graves County: Chapter 1 | Something Stinks On August 1, 2000, the body of 18-year-old Jessica Currin was found outside of the middle school in Mayfield, KY. Jessica was a new mom and the daughter of a lieutenant with the fire department. Her case would go unsolved for years, until a local homemaker, a British journalist, and a few local girls came forward with a story that law enforcement would use to convict six people – including one man for life. It’s a good story: an ordinary woman helps solve a crime and bring justice to a small town. Maybe too good to be true.

Hi friends, and welcome back to the podcast. In today's episode, I'm joined by two special guests: Dr. Steven Antonoff and Jay McCann, co-authors of the newly updated 5th edition of The College Finder: Your comprehensive guide to finding colleges that fit YOUR unique path. In this conversation, we dig into some of the biggest questions students and families face in the college search today, including: What—if anything—are rankings good for in 2025? Beyond starting salaries, which outcome metrics actually indicate value? What's a responsible way for students to use AI in the search phase—and what should they avoid? How do you plan a high-yield campus visit (or a virtual substitute) that actually informs fit? What's the most productive role for parents at each stage of the process? Jay McCann is co-author of The College Finder, now in its fifth edition since Steve's original publication in 1993. He earned his graduate degree at San Diego State University, where he was part of the Native American Scholars and Collaborators grant, focusing on education and community engagement. Jay began his counseling career in Denver Public Schools, where he served as department chair, before moving to Valor Christian High School and now The Westminster Schools in Atlanta. He is also the founder of Future to Find College Consulting, and he lives in Atlanta with his wife, Erin, and their three young children. Dr. Steven Antonoff has more than 30 years of experience in higher education. He is the author of College Match and The College Finder, both highly regarded resources for students and counselors. Steve holds a PhD in Human Communication Studies, an MA in Education from the University of Denver, and a BS in Psychology from Colorado State University. He is the former Dean of Admission & Financial Aid, Executive Director of Admissions & Student Affairs, and Dean of Students at the University of Denver. A founding chair of the American Institute for Certified Educational Planners, he helped launch the first certification program, training initiatives, and textbook for IECs. His work supports low-income and first-generation students through IB programs, Denver's Latino Association, and College Summit.
