Send us a textFrom Forest to Feast: The Story of French ChâtaignesIn this deliciously autumnal episode of Fabulously Delicious, we dive deep into the world of châtaignes, France's beloved chestnuts. From their prickly forest shells to their fragrant, comforting presence in winter markets, châtaignes have long been a symbol of warmth, heritage, and rustic French cooking. But these humble nuts hold far more than nostalgia — they carry centuries of history, culture, and culinary transformation.We explore the fascinating botanical identity of the châtaigne, uncovering what makes it unique, how it differs from marrons, and why its reputation has evolved over time. You'll discover how chestnuts sustained entire regions, earned the nickname “the bread tree,” and became essential to rural life across the Cévennes, Ardèche, Limousin, and beyond. From ancient cultivation to nineteenth-century culinary refinement, the journey of the châtaigne is as rich as its flavour.Then, we turn our attention to the gastronomy of chestnuts. Whether roasted on street corners, puréed into velvety crème de marrons, transformed into the iconic Mont-Blanc dessert, or baked into festive dishes at Christmas, châtaignes play a starring role in French food culture. We'll explore regional specialties, traditional methods of preservation, and the craftsmanship that turns a simple nut into a seasonal delicacy.Finally, we travel across France to celebrate the festivals, terroirs, and AOP traditions that honour this treasured ingredient. From the chestnut groves of Ardèche to the proud heritage of the Marron de Lyon, to vibrant autumn gatherings in Collobrières and Redon, you'll get a taste of the communities that keep the chestnut spirit alive. Whether you're a longtime lover of chestnuts or discovering them for the first time, this episode is a feast of stories, culture, and flavour — straight from the forests of France to your plate.Support the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

Send us a textEver wondered why people in Glasgow ask different questions than people in London about the same service? We pull back the curtain on a major update: city-level People Also Ask targeting that lets you research real local queries and build content that matches each neighbourhood's language, concerns, and intent. It's a simple shift with powerful results—clearer clusters, tighter FAQs, and topical authority that feels grounded in place rather than padded with generic terms.We also share what's changing behind the scenes. A refreshed interface is on the way to speed up research and reduce friction, and we've been investing heavily in entity-led workflows. Entities help search engines connect your content to real-world concepts—people, places, organisations, products—so your pages hold up through algorithm changes. Combine entities with city-level question data and you get a reliable map for content planning: fewer overlaps, sharper internal links, and pages that speak to actual user intent.Finally, we're making a counterintuitive move: pausing our three-episodes-a-week cadence over December to run a live experiment. Our library is heavily evergreen and binge-friendly, so this is a clean moment to test whether a short break affects discovery, downloads, and listener habits. If you manage content calendars, this will resonate—sometimes the best optimisation is stepping back to measure what the audience does when you publish less.If local SEO, link building strategy, and entity-first content are on your roadmap, this update will help you plan smarter for the new year. Listen now, explore the new city-level PAA targeting, and tell us which city you want us to test next.

In this episode I sit down with Milam Miller — author of The Charisma Craft and founder of Be Confident and Kind — to dismantle the myth that charisma is innate and to show how it can actually be a powerful, learnable leadership skill. We unpack what charisma really is (spoiler: not glittery and extroverted, but human connection), why it matters for sales and leadership, and how to build what Milam calls your “Riz factor” — your likability, trustworthiness and presence that turns connection into commercial advantage. Expect a practical, no‑fluff framework, real talk about what works, and a challenge to show up with intent. If you lead a sales team (or want to), manage reps, or sell yourself as a leader — this conversation is a must-listen. How to craft charisma that helps you lead and sell more Here's how you can start turning charisma into a reliable tool — not a luck-of-the-draw trait. Think of charisma as a craft, not a birthright. It isn't about being loud or larger‑than‑life; it's about human connection that builds likability, competence and trust. Lead with authenticity. Use your own voice, stories and values. Don't mimic scripts or try to be someone else. Your genuine self resonates. Be bold enough to ask. Confidence matters: call the meeting, make the call, take the risk. But boldness without humanity falls flat. Stay curious about people. Ask questions, listen, learn what drives your colleagues or clients — and respond to that. That curiosity underpins strong, lasting relationships. Combine confidence with kindness. Confidence shows you know your stuff. Kindness shows you're human. Together they create what Milam calls the “like‑know‑trust” platform. Lead with service, not quota. Shift your mindset: selling isn't about hitting numbers, it's about helping people solve problems. When you show up for them, results follow. Timeline of key moments [00:02:04] — “That's a lie.” Milam debunks the myth that charisma is innate — you can learn it. [00:03:11] — Charisma framed as “the art of human connection” rooted in empathy, warmth and clarity. [00:05:39] — The “L‑K‑T” test: Likable, Knowledgeable, Trustable — the essence of likability in professional relationships. [00:09:32] — The two core engines of charisma: intention (why are you showing up) and attention (who are you listening to). [00:16:14] — The ABCs of charisma: Authentic, Bold, Curious — a simple, actionable framework. [00:18:13] — Distinction between courage and bravery: courage is acting despite fear; bravery is absence of fear. Both matter. [00:23:03] — The big takeaway: “Be confident and kind and develop your charisma craft.” Links & resources The Charisma Craft by Milam Miller — the book that underpins the frameworks we discussed. Be Confident and Kind (Milam's organisation) — for more tools, training and sales‑enablement resources. If you want to test this on your team: grab the Parallel Team Playbook from Practical Leadership Academy If you're ready to stop leaning on charm and start building connection as a repeatable skill, this episode gives you a clear path. Try being intentional, curious and human in your next interaction — the results might surprise you. If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, follow, share and review the podcast.

Send us a textRevisit A to Z of French Herbs - Black Elder - Sureau NoirBlack Elder—Sureau Noir in French—is a plant woven deeply into European history, folklore, and cuisine. In this Revisit Sunday episode, we return to this remarkable shrub to explore its botanical roots, from its Latin name Sambucus nigra to its preference for sunny spots and its striking transformation through the seasons. Once you know its glossy black berries and fragrant ivory flowers, it's hard not to spot elder everywhere.Beyond the garden, Black Elder has played an important role in traditional medicine and ancient beliefs. Romans, Greeks, Celts, pagans, and medieval Europeans all attributed powerful qualities to the plant. From druidic flutes used to converse with spirits to the charming myth of Hylde-Moer, the Elder Mother who guarded the tree, elder has long been surrounded by mystery, reverence, and a touch of magic.Of course, elder's culinary life is just as fascinating. While the raw berries may be poisonous, cooked elderberry finds its way into jams, jellies, wines, soups, and syrups across Europe. The flowers shine even brighter, giving us elderflower cordial, fritters, and the iconic French liqueur St-Germain—created from delicately harvested elder blossoms in the Savoie region and now beloved worldwide in cocktails and cuisine.In this episode, we revisit all of this and more: the legends, the history, the flavor, and the enduring cultural presence of Black Elder. Whether you know elder from your garden, your pantry, or your favourite cocktail glass, this episode is a delightful journey into the past and present of one of France and Europe's most storied plants.Support the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

In 1967 Hanna-Barbera had a new show on Saturday Mornings, The Herculoids. This was before my time, but the show's concept and characters were so enduring that nearly a decade and a half later they would be revived for a new show and I would be introduced to the great characters. Between and since then the have shown up in reruns, comic books, and more modern shows where they often appear for laughs. The design of the characters was by the great Alex Toth, who I haven't really talk enough about on the show. So I start this episode with a bio of Toth after talking about my experience discovering and learning about the show over the years. Then I move onto thee show itself. I discuss the people in front of and behind the camera, the studio who made it, its release, the music, and much more. While the show combined elements of science fiction and fantasy, it was very easy to understand. A family of people and creatures come together to protect their home against anything that throw at them. Combine that simple and repeatable idea with great design and straightforward, but compelling animation and you have a memorable show that is still worth remembering today.
John has had enough of apologies. He wants action and results. Combine that with John being notified about every business expense, and you get a very scared Elis and Dave.But sometimes it's fear that instils results - or more importantly top quality content. This is how Sir Alex would want it.Meanwhile the more be-thighed of the two has had enough of clouds. He doesn't ever want to look down at them again - something which would undoubtedly baffle the forward thinking Victorians.And what oils have you got?

From the early royal patrons who dined there to the dramatic changes brought by Parisian history, the restaurant's journey is as rich as the dishes it serves. You'll learn about its many claimed addresses, the stories behind its shimmering name, and how it became a destination for gourmands around the world.This episode also dives deep into the personalities who shaped La Tour d'Argent: Frédéric Delair, the man who invented the legend of the numbered ducks; André Terrail, who redefined the restaurant in the early 20th century; Claude Terrail, who carried it through war and into global fame; and André Terrail II, who steers the restaurant today. Along the way, we uncover the secrets of its extraordinary wine cellar, explore its signature dishes, and celebrate the celebrities, artists, leaders, and food lovers who have all found their way to its tables.From Michelin stars to royal anecdotes, theatrical tableside preparations to timeless Parisian elegance, La Tour d'Argent is more than a restaurant — it's a living chapter of French culinary history.

Fresh from the land of a thousand suns And I stil don't know which stone to land on No random environment; I underwent the whole attorney And still met with resistance I just asked an an amphetamine as if it was A supplement to my existence In fact, it is, An edifice or m addition to my nutrition deficit And I says, For whatever's lost but goes on, Fight for rich or poorer while the poorer suffer longer No longer argue my agreements, Distance to whatever's after There I rest upon the sober throne, And throwing watermelon seeds into the ground as as stones, For may as well without the water And also sure to rot, Or waste as rats, Computer paper, There again Recycling bins of compost Just for show, but not for shredded paper No, no longer or wonder my nonsense, In fact, I, raging there had kept no more a suffer than a secret to be sure of here— And sure of her I was and sheer and gathered Torment your emotions, Also just to want but not to have As those that matter. So I've called in all the white clothes Now we represent with denim. And I'm stuck inside your television Stuck inside your television Don't you know you've shown you're weakness in the purest of hatred, Separating yourselfs as the basis for this Depreciation? Wonder, again I wonder And still no sad trombones, Only stories, and somber surfers And solemn whores and silent wars with words And sundries From the land of one thousand suns And a thousand sons you've lost A thousand wars, A thousand girls who want you Gathered over rails and velvet theatre ropes for it Rare. But slightly often scored, Parched, And barely long forgotten, Tipping, And waiting only This bitch comes on the train and smells like soup. Don't look at me as if I'm the one to have done something, I've no cardboard box but rather lift my chin at Whole Foods market over bags or water. You know it?

I've be ever been bound to love Or celebrated by another besides my mother But here's so sensory deprivation, Overstimulation lol I love getting on the train and just happening to see a dude who is not listening to his dumb fucking girlfriend But she won't shut the fuck up He's just standing there like “Clearly I'm getting sex out of this” And she won't stop talking. I love that. I'm like “bitch, shut up.” He's like “Help me.” I'm like Not my problem, broskies, You better look interested instead of over here. Anyway, another year's gone by and no one's here for me. Anyway, another son was born without my honor. Anyway, I want to lap it up like all the water on the floor Before I realized it was gold, And I was slaughtered No use crying over spilled galaxies, Still you're trapped in I, And I'm found to want more than I decided If I'm divided and clustered up And yet I'm divine then, I should gather all I've had Combine it into one —and yet Another columbine has come As if they're all occurrences, Just set to Apple Watches And broadcast t'all the provences. In a cinch I've just realized I've the trench coat to match your jacket But no longer the converse all stars And you've seen to washed yours off from my angle Simple single triangle and spheres for fears of masturbating, Crash the grate at all the hours, Never really gravitating for anything important, Only alt-right Can't afford that All your penlaltied for real to mean political rallies or ambitions act as barriers to those that actually ally.

INFRIGMENT IS PUNSHABLE BY FEDERAL LAW LEGAL NOTICE / ARTIST STATEMENT Project: The Festival Project ™ (Season 12) Genre: Speculative Auto-Ethnography / Social Surrealism Disclaimer: This document is a work of creative non-fiction and political satire. While inspired by the author's lived experiences with systemic oppression, housing displacement, and surveillance, the narrative employs stylized fragmentation, stream-of-consciousness, and metaphor to dramatize the psychological impact of these events. The "characters" and "dialogue" herein are artistic devices used to critique historical and modern power structures. This text should be viewed as a performative artistic expression protected under the First Amendment, and not as a literal transcript of clinical psychosis or a formal sworn affidavit. This is a character study of 'Chroma111,' the collective artworks of a musician living in a dystopian surveillance state. The erratic language is a stylistic choice to represent the character's psychological deterioration under systemic oppression. All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. The Genre: "Afro-Surrealism" / "Social Horror" "Psycho-Acoustic Weaponry" or "Havana Syndrome symptoms." The Frame: The protagonist is subjected to "noise harassment"—a tactic dramatized here but rooted in the known reality of tenant displacement and "psychological attrition." The narrative depicts a process of "Soul Murder" ( also known as spiritual warfare) orchestrated by a hostile apparatus. The antagonist is "The Institution," representing deep-state mechanisms that view multicultural intellectualism as a threat. The story allegorically dramatizes the invisible mechanisms that enforce racial hierarchy, depicting how broken social systems weaponize psychological practices against the individual. Artist's Note: This is a living document. In the event of the artist's silence or unnatural death, this text serves as an artistic testament to the psychological siege endured from to 2023-2025. It is a creative record of survival against a hostile state architecture. The following is a creative non-fiction horror manifesto regarding the psychological assassination of a multicultural American artist. It documents—through the lens of Afro-Surrealism—how modern surveillance technology and sonic harassment are experienced by the targeted individual. As it stands It has become a modern sequel which mirrors the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, set in the present day. "The protagonist is being subjected to 'noise harassment'—a known tactic used by landlords and corrupt entities to displace tenants. The sound is weaponized to induce sleep deprivation and psychological attrition, dismantling of their ego and will to live, orchestrated by a hostile state apparatus. The antagonist in this piece is 'The Institution'—a deep state that views multicultural intellectualism as a threat. The story dramatizes over time the invisible mechanisms (the 'Deep State') that enforce racial hierarchy and and psychological genocide, weaponizing broken social systems and unfounded psychological practices as biological weapons. This is a living document. In the event of the artist's silence or unnatural death, this text serves as evidence of the psychological siege endured from 2023-2025. It is a transcript of survival against a hostile state architecture. This project spans an unlimited multiprojectoral arc of over two years of chronic violence, reaching into historical and theatrical projections and parallels over the all documented records of human existence through time and space.

I won't Good good Goddamn I might have a heart attack I might have to kill myself I hate this place I'm tired now I dropped my hat . I'm an individual Stuck in a simulated and subject collective consciousness I'll tel you where the problem is I promise this It seemed more like a tactical marketing strategy than an actual accident, knowing the type of superstar Sonny had become. Yet, I couldn't help but give it a second thought, almost admiring it—whatever it was—as there is no such thing as bad press. As it all played out over social media—which I obstinately rejected, but however so embraced by those in what one used to call "the arts"—it felt undone; It was now strictly business within those very same markets. Here was this, an apparent plagiarism based on ‘outsourcing' a simple photo for a follow-up single to an album I knew I could not be moved to listen to, even after months. I had spent my own time, in a torturous chaos sense, researching these sorts of psychological tactics and strategies of such conglomerates. It seemed almost as if the negative and seemingly coincidental exposure was in congruency with the so very Skrillexian need to stay relevant to the newer age in changing times. He seemed to embrace some sort of artistic evolution, at least from what I could sense at a long and strong distance. However, my ability to understand the article I'd very much by accident stumbled upon—while overlooking my own dilapidated ticket stubs on Resident Advisor—cautioned at the kind of humbled and grown logic that had become what was left of my womanhood. I had in so many ways made a fool of myself, an embarrassment for what I thought of at the time in the name of love. Still, in all this time, I was so desolated and alone that it had become such an apparent and distraught sense of waking up to what formerly was. With this, I thought one of two things. I knew this Sonny, like most men of prestige, power, and great wealth, had devised his team of sharp-witted, intelligent, beautiful women. This apparent slip-up over the artwork for his latest endeavor—which I had, for every reason, protested in defense of my own dignity—was perhaps the result of a beautiful woman without creative ingenuity stealing the artwork in bad taste, as evidenced. Or—even more cunning—this was the wit of a trained and marginalized soldier in the art of programming. The apparent plagiarism was, in fact, another brutal and hollow Skrillefied market for attention. Over the last decade, he had no shortage of the ability to create and draw eyes to whatever art or concept was forced out of the mechanized monster. Still, there was a sharp growl. I knew I was meant to find this as a reminder of what I'd find if I looked any further or listened to his music anymore: a rise in sharp numbers, mass appeal tactics, and this-or-that shallow hogwash of distinctly skeletal bodies and avant-garde aesthetics. It pointed at the unachievable from my eyes and standpoint. It was the rockstar air and attire of everything I wasn't: strictly thin Hollywood or other ideals to which the construct was entitled, but I wasn't. I had to set out on my own way because what I had intended with music was jumbled into appearances, pornographic sexualities, and masculine dominance. It meant I had aged out of the desirability and affect these very same masses were being marketed from. Sure, I understood that the Skrillex project had established a sort of order for what the electronic festival industry wanted. But I also wanted something else accomplished in my time that wasn't just being some shallow, hot-girl, obscure go-after. The entire time, I had been under the impression of a duality of magnetism I often still had difficulty loosening myself from—that this illusion of an emotional tie or loveness, outside of what was a physical or illustrious concept, had no substance within the business at its core. It was, to say the least, a heartless world and a heartless business. Now that my own music was without purpose, I could forever distance myself from the other masses—the consumer-prosumer-commercialized "artists" that had sprung up out of access to the direct-to-streaming music market via technology and disposable funding. I had no way of embodying my mind to do away with the parts of me that needed to change to become one of them—in the sense that if my music looked and sounded alike, I would be embraced. But I was far from being the type of consciousness that had formed seemingly with the twist of a knob or an Ableton shortcut by one of electronic's founding fathers. In an unfortunate way, I had finally realized he was just that. — Death of A Superstar DJ. Copyright © The Complex Collective 2025 The Festival Project, Inc. ™ All rights reserved. Chroma111.

Send us a textOn this episode, we're talking about AI, the Fed, crypto, and housing --- and how those stories all suddenly collided this week. Nvidia's huge earnings beat briefly sent markets higher, but the rally fizzled fast as investors grew more anxious about a potential AI bubble. We walk through why valuations increasingly assume massive job displacement and unprecedented productivity gains, and why Oracle has become the market's “AI downside” hedge as its stock price collapses and its credit spreads blow out.Zooming out to the macro picture: delayed economic data finally hit, with job growth surprising to the upside, suggesting the Fed might not be delivering a December cut after all. Combine that with softening AI sentiment, and we're seeing a classic risk-off move: equities selling and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin showing the most stress. Even though headline data looks fine, the real-world "vibes" (sorry, couldn't help ourselves) feel recessionary, with people struggling to find jobs while prices (especially housing prices) remain painfully high.That leads us into the debate over 50-year mortgages. We explain why extending mortgages just means paying interest for decades, barely building equity, and ultimately bidding home prices even higher. The idea of a transferable 50-year mortgage makes even LESS sense. It breaks basic collateral math and would require higher rates, not lower, to actually facilitate implementation.

Jocelyn Pearson. Purpose of the Interview The interview on Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushion McDonald and Jocelyn Pearson aimed to: Share Jocelyn’s journey of graduating debt-free by securing $126,350 in scholarships. Educate families on how to avoid student loan debt through her proven system, The Scholarship System. Dispel myths about scholarships and provide actionable steps for parents and students. Key Takeaways Scholarship System Approach Jocelyn developed a six-step process to simplify scholarship applications and avoid overwhelm. Focus on breaking the process into small, manageable steps rather than a vague “go get money” directive. Common Myths Debunked Too early or too late to apply: Start by junior year; it’s never too late—even college seniors can apply. Only perfect students or low-income families qualify: Many scholarships don’t require high GPA or athletic ability. All good scholarships are gone: Smaller, local scholarships ($500–$5,000) add up over time. It takes too much time: With a system and reusable materials, effort decreases each year. Avoiding Scholarship Scams Beware of “easy,” “enter to win,” or sweepstakes-style scholarships—they often sell personal data. Real scholarships require effort and personalization. Role of Parents Parents should help with planning and identifying legitimate scholarships but not complete applications for students. Committees can detect when parents write essays. AI in Scholarship Applications Jocelyn warns against copy-pasting AI-generated essays. Her platform introduced TESS, an AI assistant for ethical guidance and support. Financial Aid Basics Submit FAFSA even if you think you won’t qualify; some colleges and states require it. Combine all sources—government aid, institutional aid, and private scholarships. For Current College Students Check with financial aid offices, academic departments, and organizations for scholarships available after freshman year. Entrepreneurial Journey Jocelyn turned her passion into a business by starting with a book, building an email list, and launching webinars. She emphasizes persistence and ignoring naysayers. Notable Quotes “I had to accumulate my way to getting college paid for—the mere mortals’ way to going to college without tons of debt.” “Most families want scholarships, but they get stuck in the overwhelm.” “There’s no big red easy button—but with clear steps, it feels less daunting.” “We’re saying no to the broken system… It takes, on average, 21 years to pay off student loans.” “With great power comes great responsibility—AI can help, but only if used ethically.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How does a mechanical watch put out good vibes to the universe with every passing second? Listen in to the latest episode to find out! Our guest is the charming CEO of Sherpa Watches, Martin Klocke. I met Martin recently at Geneve Watch Days and the brand made quite an impression. Capturing authentic vintage vibes with superbly well executed dials in a true "Super-Compressor" case, the Sherpa line strikes quite a chord with a unique identity as a micro-brand out of Germany. Listen in as we hear the full story of the inspiration behind this storied historical watch, first unveiled by Enicar in 1956 following a Swiss Expedition to Mt Everest. Enicar's SeaPearl watches proved to be incredibly reliable and suitable for extreme environments both deep underwater and as high as mankind would dare to explore, leading to the Sherpa rebranding. Martin shares with us his personal story of discovery of the famed Sherpa watches and his fascination with the 70 year old watches. Today's faithful recreations provided many challenges to produce. It is wonderful to hear Martin talk about the production of the modern pieces and the technical brilliance of the original concept combined with further refinements. Only producing approximately 100 watches per year, today's Sherpa is a rare example of a passion project that celebrates technical brilliance, distinctive visual appeal and the rare achievement of faithfully respecting an original design with proportions that prove to be timeless. Combine all this with the world's first "Mantramatic" watch and there is far more than meets the eye with this incredibly compelling and fascinating wristwatch for the ages. We hope that you enjoy Keeping Time podcast with host Jeremy Oster and co-host Doug Hoyt. If you could take a moment to rate, review as well as share with like-minded watch enthusiast friends it truly helps others to discover Keeping Time podcast.

Recorded: November 17th 2025 Will Compton and Taylor Lewan welcome on Robert Gallery, former No. 2 overall pick and Iowa legend, who joins the show for a raw, emotional, and deeply honest interview.

This episode continues the practical series on the Inner Villain system by breaking down how to communicate with each villain type. Kristina and Anna pull from real life, therapy, and relationship work to translate a complex shadow-work system into clear tools you can use with partners, friends, coworkers, and family.Before the communication section, the episode also covers:• Purpose vs meaning• Why your purpose isn't defined by you• How creation works when it's not about control• A new metaphor for the 9 Villains as phases in the lifecycle of a flowering plant• Why people “get stuck” in certain villain phases• What it means to grow in order vs out of orderEPISODE BREAKDOWN00:00 — Opening & Check-InKristina and Anna reconnect after a break from recording.They talk somatic healing, practical implementation struggles, and the tension between “etheric narrative work” and real-life applicability.05:00 — Purpose vs MeaningAnna shares insights from her Kabbalah class:• Meaning is personal interpretation.• Purpose is assigned externally (source, God, universe).• You don't get to define your purpose. Others and life events reveal it.Kristina connects this to Viktor Frankl, creation without attachment, and Buckminster Fuller's idea that purpose arrives at a perpendicular angle to your intentions.13:00 — BREAKTHROUGH DREAM: The 9 Villains as the Life Cycle of a Flowering PlantKristina shares a liminal-space dream that reframed the entire Villain System through the natural growth stages of a plant.A concise map:Obedient Critic — Seed. Rules, inherited limitations, instruction set.Vengeful Martyr — Cotyledon (baby leaves). Self-generated energy. Doing everything alone.Vain Controller — True leaves + root establishment. Channels, resources, trust.Eternal Child — Explosive growth, abundance, chaos.Evasive Expert — Balancing inputs. Regulating water/light.Divisive Immortal — Flowering. Death, risk, community, cross-pollination.Hungry Shapeshifter — Seed production. Creativity, potentiality.Righteous Bully — Seed release. Letting go. Not controlling outcomes.Invisible Destroyer — Desiccation / return to soil. Crone, surrender, dissolution.Use it to locate yourself. If you're “stuck,” look at the developmental stage you skipped.41:53 — PRACTICAL SECTION: COMMUNICATING WITH EACH VILLAINThis is the part listeners asked for. Clear, real-world communication strategies, conflict prevention tools, and repair patterns for each villain.1. The Obedient Critic (OC)Rule-set oriented, easily offended, perfectionistic, rigid.Preventive strategies:• Exchange rule-sets explicitly. Ask: “What does X mean to you?”• Agree on shared relationship rules or a “contract.”• Avoid assuming your interpretation matches theirs.• Overshare context up front to avoid catastrophic misinterpretation.During conflict:• Use permissive, soft entry language: “Could we try…?” “Maybe we consider…?”• Validate their meaning first: “I see how in your world this means X.”• Never say “You're wrong.” Reframe instead: “In my world, this means something different.”2. The Vengeful Martyr (VM)Energy-banker, does everything alone, keeps score, collapses into exhaustion.Preventive strategies:• Do not exploit their over-functioning.• Build real competence in the areas they normally shoulder alone.• Remove responsibility from them physically (take the kids out of the house, run point on meals, etc.).• Combine gratitude + competent action.During conflict / meltdown:• Open with: “I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.”• Listen. Don't defend. Don't reason.• Offer immediate relief from responsibility.• After they calm: reduce the systemic over-responsibility that created the blowup.3. The Vain Controller (VC)Status-driven, work-driven, image-driven, terrified of betrayal.Preventive strategies:• Avoid competition or one-upping.• Celebrate small vulnerability when they offer it.• Keep your promises. No exceptions.• Reward their hard work in tangible, visible ways.During conflict:• Acknowledge the breach directly: “I recognize I broke a promise here.”• Use “I will work harder” language.• Outline concrete steps you will take to restore trust.• Don't joke about their insecurities. They will not take it well.4. The Eternal Child (EC)Dream-logic, confabulation, entitlement, dramatic swings.Preventive strategies:• Set clear expectations + consequences. Consistency matters more than anything.• Bring in practicality without shaming their dream-side:“I love your vision. Let's anchor it with two practical steps.”• Give them structure, timelines, and follow-through.During conflict / tantrum:• Do not debate their story. It won't land.• Provide grounding: “I'm here. I'm not abandoning you.”• Hold consistent consequences afterward.• If they escalate to destructive behavior: remove yourself and hold the boundary firmly.ClosingNext week: Part 3, continuing through the remaining villains (Evasive Expert → Invisible Destroyer) with more scripts, tools, and examples.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
This week: A lot is happening in the sky!

A supportive aspect blending Scorpio's determination with Pisces' grace and compassion. Combine strength with kindness. [3:05] Mercury's Busy Week, Part 1 (Mon. Nov. 17– Wed. Nov. 19). Mercury sextiles Pluto (Mon., Nov. 17, 12:36 pm PST) at 01°39' Sagittarius and Aquarius. This is the second of three such aspects, including on Oct. 30 and Dec. 13. Dig deep and get to the truth. Excellent for research and tough conversations. [4:38] Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio (Tue. Nov. 18, 7:21 pm PST). Mercury will continue to move back through Scorpio, until it turns direct on Nov. 29 at 20°42' Scorpio. Revisit secrets, uncover motives, and attending to unfinished business. [6:06] Mercury retrograde opposes Uranus (Wed. Nov. 19, 3:45 am PST) at 29°31' Scorpio and Taurus. This is the second of these transits, including on Oct. 29 and Dec. 10. Break free from mental ruts — change your mind, shift your perspective. [7:27] Mercury retrograde trine Neptune (Wed. Nov. 19, 4:21 am PST) at 29°29' Scorpio and Pisces. Also the second of three such transits, including one Oct. 29 and the last on Dec. 11, with Mercury direct. Dream, imagine, and let your intuition do the talking. [9:11] Scorpio New Moon (Wed. Nov. 19, 10:47 pm PST) at 28°11' Scorpio. This New Moon forms a grand trine with Jupiter and Saturn, and an opposition with Uranus creates a kite. It's a potent moment for setting intentions of transformation, release, and renewal. [11:54] Lunar Phase Family Cycle. Keep a lunar journal to track this cycle over the next three years (key follow-ups): First Quarter (first action point) Aug. 19, 2026 • Full Moon (awareness point) May 20, 2027 • Last Quarter (last action point) Feb. 17, 2028. [13:55] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon Periods. Moon squares Jupiter (Mon. Nov. 17, 3:51 am PST), is VOC for 9 hours, 53 minutes, and enters Scorpio (1:44 pm PST). Balance giving with self-care. [15:09] Moon opposes Uranus (Thu. Nov. 20, 1:24 am PST), is VOC for 1 hour, 2 minutes, and enters Sagittarius (2:26 am PST). Reflect on financial independence. [16:35] Moon squares Neptune (Sat. Nov. 22, 1:48 pm PST), is VOC for 1 hour, 5 minutes, and enters Capricorn (2:53 pm PST). Pause before reacting emotionally. [17:40] Mercury conjuncts the Sun (Thu. Nov. 20, 1:23 am PST) at 28°18' Scorpio. Mercury is cazimi, “in the heart of the Sun” — a powerful time for clarity, communication, and insight. Mercury will be cazimi from Nov. 19, 10:31 pm PST to Nov. 20, 4:15 am PST. Perfect for important writing, calls, or conversations. [18:56] Uranus sextiles Neptune (Thu. Nov. 20, 6:33 am PST) at 29°29' Taurus-Pisces. The second in a long series (2025–2027) of these aspects. The first Uranus/Neptune sextile was on Aug. 28, 2025, the third is on July 15, 2026, the fourth on Jan. 15, 2027, and the fifth on Jun. 6, 2027. Review Ep. 305 for more about this series. Reflect on the emotional side of technological change. How does innovation feel? [22:19] Sun opposes Uranus (Fri. Nov. 21, 4:25 am PST) at 29°26' Scorpio and Taurus. Sun trines Neptune the same day, at 5:05 am PST, at 29°28' Scorpio and Pisces. 30 Scorpio: The Halloween jester is the Sabian symbol for the Sun. A revelation moment! Step out of your old identity and imagine who you're becoming. Expect insight, creativity, and maybe a little nervous energy. [25:33] Sun enters its Sagittarius season (Fri. Nov. 21, 5:35 am PST)! The Sun will be in Sagittarius until Dec. 21. A month of optimism, adventure, and gratitude. The perfect season for giving thanks and expanding your horizons. [27:03] Mercury's Busy Week, Part 2: Sat. Nov. 22 - Mercury trines Saturn (10:45 am PST) at 25°11' Scorpio-Pisces; Mercury trines Jupiter (3:37 pm PST) at 24°56' Scorpio and Cancer. Mercury (direct) first trined Saturn & Jupiter on Oct. 24/25, this is the second trine (retrograde) and the third is on Dec. 6/7 (direct). Review late-October conversations and projects — and now find clarity, perspective, and practical steps to move forward. [29:03] Sun sextiles Pluto (Sun. Nov. 23, 11:19 am PST) at 01°45' Sagittarius-Aquarius. Adventure beckons! A dynamic, self-empowering aspect for exploration and courage. The Sun is on Sabian symbol 2 Sagittarius: The ocean covered with whitecaps. Pluto is on Sabian symbol 2 Aquarius: An unexpected thunderstorm.

Send us a textYou can't beat the trail running community for positivity, and during so many of my races I have randomly met the most interesting and often inspiring people, many of whom have become lifelong friends. During the descending miles of this year's Leadville Heavy Half, I started chatting with a fellow runner and before long discovering Scott Tish's inspiring story that included his experiences as an air ambulance helicopter pilot and as a five-time cancer survivor. Scott's battles led him to some dark places, but he emerged on the other side with a reinvigorated view on life and gratitude for the mere opportunity to go out and run every day, much less complete races as challenging as the Heavy Half. He attributes a lot of his rebound to his wife, Pam, who gave him the tough love needed to move forward with his life and find again how running is some of the best medicine anyone can take. Scott's journey in the Army also gave him the very rare privilege of being a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. Combine that with being a survivor of very rare forms of cancer and being an ultrarunner, Scott's one-of-a-kind story will certainly inspire you.Scott TishFacebook @stish162linkedin.com/in/scott-tish-tus162TikTok @millieandtesspapatombguard.orgBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8
Empowering Women in Real Estate - The Podcast with Karen Cooper

In this episode, Karen walks through the exact email management system she uses to keep multiple inboxes under control—while running businesses, leading a team, raising kids and supporting a 40k+ community.

Use color-coded flags tied to themed days (sales, team, EWRE, personal) so nothing gets lost. Decide fast: delete, do, delegate, or defer—and what "Inbox Zero-ish" really looks like. Unsubscribe ruthlessly, block repeat spammers, and stop obsessive checking. Handle time off with a "To Do After Vacation" folder so you return to sanity, not chaos. A simple, sustainable system to reclaim time—and your peace.

I am excited to have Ashley Grabe joining me today for Part 2 of a two-part series, where she asks me about my new book, Your Fertility Blueprint: Renovating Your Reproductive Health, which will launch on Tuesday, November 25th. This is not just another fertility book. It's a groundbreaking guide that bridges the gap between functional and conventional medicine, written by someone who has lived the journey firsthand, both as a practitioner and a patient. Infertility can be a difficult topic to discuss, which is why this book truly matters. Whether you are just starting to plan a family or have been on this path for some time, it offers hope, validation, faith, and practical insights you will not find anywhere else.

Ask Me Anything and takeaways of the day featuring Andy, Randy, Beau, and Abe.
"78% of salespeople miss their sales targets. That means your entire revenue forecast is riding on just 22% of your team."That's the brutal reality Matt Milligan discovered after spending years in go-to-market transformation – and it's what drove him to build Uhubs, a company that's now helping teams achieve 83% increases in revenue per head.In today's episode, I'm joined by Matt Milligan, CEO and Co-founder of Uhubs, Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree, and former professional golfer. After playing on the IGT tour in South Africa, Matt moved into consulting at EY, where he built their startup network and observed the massive gaps in how companies hire, enable, and manage their sales teams. His solution? Combine quantitative data, qualitative assessments, and call recording analysis to identify what actually separates high performers from the rest – then use AI to create roadmaps that close the gap.Together we unpack:Why relying on Salesforce dashboards alone misses the human component driving performanceHow first-time managers are the single greatest point of failure in most organisationsWhy managers spend all their time with underperformers (and how that kills your A players)The three data sources you need to truly understand what makes your best sellers greatWhy gut-feel hiring is killing your growth (and what to do instead)
Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Mark Kaboly: Steelers insider Mark Kaboly of The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark thinks there is less than a 1% chance the Steelers move off Tomlin now as a "free pass." Joe thinks there wouldn't be a backlash if the Steelers traded Tomlin to the Giants for a top five pick. Kenneth Gainwell has proven he can provide a different type of option at running back, but we all want to see Jaylen Warren get more opportunities.
Mark was surprised Kaleb Johnson played. The Steelers are giving receivers too much space at the snap of the football. Asante Samuel Jr. picked the Steelers and must think he has a chance to play. Mark thinks the Steelers win 41-40!
Chris Riegel discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are transforming labor, citing modest IBM layoffs but predicting heavy impacts in large retail. Advanced robotics in Chinese auto manufacturing drives cost efficiency, and AI combined with robotics enhances manufacturing capability. While seeing demand, Riegel notes characteristics of a bubble, especially in wildly overvalued stock prices, fueled by vast investment in AI data centers. In QSRs and retail, AI adoption is driven by efficiency and, in places like California, high minimum wages.
Hi Bakers,My son and his girlfriend went to the Farmer's Market and brought back a beautiful pumpkin roll cake. It looked so good, I thought why haven't I made one?? Oh yes, I remember I was terrified to try and roll a cake in a cylinder. I'm not sure if I got brave or just desperate to have a bite of this cake! This is my first attempt at making it and revising the recipe to be gluten-free too. Make this cake if you love a moist, sweet pumpkin cake with lots of rich cream cheese and butter icing. I would 100% make this cake again because it's so tasty, quick to mix together, and pretty forgiving too! Enjoy~CarolynTips Before Baking:Don't use two sheets of parchment paper; the cake cracked at the seamSpread the cake batter evenly in the pan so it bakes Roll the cake slowly while hot and cool seam side down on a rackfrost cake all the way to the edges Keep the frosted cake tightly wrapped in plastic while coolingNeeded Equipment:jelly roll pan, 10”x 15”parchment paper large enough to cover the bottom of the panFoil or plastic wrap (best)Optional Equipment:small offset spatula (helps smooth batter in an even layerGluten-Free Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Butter IcingModified for gluten-free from Tastes Better From Scratch's RecipeDry Ingredients3/4 cup Cup4Cup Brand Multipurpose Flour (original blend with milk powder**)1/2 teaspoon sweet rice flour1/2 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon cinnamon1/2 teaspoon ginger1/4 teaspoon allspice1/8 teaspoon clovesWet Ingredients3 large eggs1 cup granulated sugar2/3 cup pumpkin puree (Libby's preferred)1 teaspoon vanilla extractCream Cheese Icing3 tablespoons butter, softened1 8-ounce block of cream cheese, softened1 cup powdered sugar1 teaspoon vanilla extract.Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10”x 15” jelly-roll pan and line with parchment paper. Press the paper into the pan so it sticks in place, and then, grease the top of the paper too.Whisk the dry ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl and set aside. Mix the wet ingredients in a large bowl and then add the dry and stirring just until mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly to the edges. Bake for 11-14 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back. You can also use a toothpick; cake is done when the toothpick comes clean. Remove from the oven and place the pan on a heat-proof surface. Gently remove the cake from the jelly-roll pan and slide it onto a flat surface. You may have to cut around a few of the edges to free it. Starting with the short edge, slowly the cake with the parchment into a tight cylinder and secure by placing edge side down on a rack until completely cool.Combine the icing ingredients together while the cake is cooling. Beat butter and cream cheese together with a mixer until smooth. Next, mix in the sugar and vanilla extract. Scrape down the bowl and mix until totally combined. Gently unroll the cake and frost the entire cake gently with a spoon or offset spatula. Try to get as even a layer as possible. Re-roll the frosted cake and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil until chilled for at least 1 hour. Plate the cake by unrolling and dusting liberally with powdered sugar. Slice gently with a serrated knife and enjoy. Cake keeps well wrapped for up to 3 days. Enjoy!** If you have trouble finding this flour in stores, check online. I buy mine on Amazon.
Very unique show this week as Joe had to record the podcast from his truck in the parking lot of a hospital (during his dad's shoulder replacement surgery!) But, there is still a ton of value (and entertainment) packed into this episode :) Joe kicks off the show with a funny "pre-surgery George D. story" and a "MuscleUpNovember" supplement sale reminder before getting into the training talk. Specifically, this week's show is a follow-up from last week's episode on "high volume vs high intensity". Joe answers 2 follow-up questions from his audience then explains exactly how to "get the best of both worlds" (high volume AND high intensity) in a single workout/program. He shares 2 specific training templates that combine high volume WITH high intensity in order to create the "perfect workout"! *For a full list of Show Notes with Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com.
