Ten days off the Appalachian Trail and I'm deep in the post-trail fog—so I'm doing what any reasonable human would: grading my own record attempt. In this episode I hand out a full report card on the AT self-supported FKT—physical execution, sleep, injuries, nutrition (hello 1,000-cal drink mix), logistics (RIP Shenandoah resupply), mental game, weather, terrain, and storytelling—then tally the GPA. I riff on why drone shots aren't a story, share some Mammoth 200 takes, and explain how two left shoes, a missing electronics bag, and shoe-toe peekaboo somehow still add up to a record. We hit night hiking tactics, the “toughness groove,” and field a few listener questions. Also: a quick bit on why it's “Appalachia,” not “Appa-lay-sha.”If this episode resonated, consider donating to The Trevor Project (link below)—they provide life-saving support and resources.Donate to the Trevor Project: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/fundraiser/6530749Sponsors that kept me moving: Janji (Snappy Trekker shirt & 5" AFO Ultra shorts), ReadyWise (my breakfast scramble), CS Instant Coffee (trail rocket fuel), and Garage Grown Gear (where cottage dreams live).

In case you missed it, last week was NY Climate Week. There were well over 1,000 events — from summits with CEO and heads of state, to film screenings, concerts, parties, boat cruises, pitch sessions, hackathons and much more. I tried to sum up my experience at New York climate week in a special episode two years ago. This year, of course, the context was different with a US administration no longer interested in climate, and a lot of green hushing, hand wringing and new language that aims to be less politicizing.To me, one of the most interesting things about NY Climate Week is that it's not the only one. Climate weeks are spreading. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington DC, San Diego, Shanghai, Bangkok, Panama City all have climate weeks. There might be dozens more in the works. No city on the planet is immune from the impact of climate, and most cities have thriving ecosystems of organizations, innovators, investors, policymakers, researchers and more working to advance climate solutions and adapt to a changing planet. In this conversation I'm joined by Nishant Mani and Dan Thorman, co-founders of the LA Climate Week. Nishant and Dan saw a need to bring together their community. They volunteered to lead and have built LA Climate Week into a successful example that people anywhere can follow to create their own week of solidarity, learning and action. We talk about their backgrounds, the founding story of LA Climate Week, the impact of the LA wildfires on last year's event, lessons they've learned and much more. So whether or not you were in New York last week, I hope you'll enjoy this conversation and consider how you can help your local climate community wherever you are. On today's episode, we cover:1:22 – Recap of New York Climate Week & Spread of Climate Weeks3:43 – Nishant's Personal & Professional Background6:19 – Dan's Personal & Professional Background 10:16 – The Origin Story of LA Climate Week14:40 – The Role of Entertainment & Culture in LA Climate Week17:08 – Entertainment Industry's Role in Climate Movement18:33 – Impact of Wildfires on LA Climate Week24:47 – The Broader Role of Climate Weeks & Local Collaboration27:51 – Lessons Learned from Organizing LA Climate Week32:20 – Evolving the Structure and Infrastructure Involvement33:02 – Measuring Success and Growth of LA Climate Week36:44 – Community Engagement & Accessibility39:32 – Aspirations for the Future: Magic Wand Scenario42:21 – Future Planning and Event Announcement44:14 – Closing Remarks and Call to ActionResources MentionedLA Climate WeekClimate CapitalTerra.doReunionCollidescope FoundationJane Goodall InstituteConnect with usNishant ManiDan ThormanJason RissmanKeep...

The Fed just cut interest rates, and that's a clear signal that change is coming for real estate investors. Lower rates should lead to more cash flow and better buying power.But there's still a lot of confusion about what happens next.Just one day after the Fed's announcement, 30-year mortgage rates actually went up.

He shares how an unlikely sabbatical during that downturn reshaped his outlook, and why sometimes the “boring” tenants — daycares, laundromats, coin ops — deliver the biggest wins.From comparing ICSC attendee lists in 2018 vs. 2025 to unpacking why beverage brands like Dutch Bros and 7 Brew are exploding, Hue uses data and anecdotes to show how the retail landscape is constantly evolving. He and Chris also dive into deeper themes: what it takes to scale a company without being the bottleneck, how community-minded regional tenants often outperform nationals, and why consumer and retailer debt may be retail's real risk today.It's a conversation that blends history, humor, and hard truths — and proves that the best retail stories aren't always about lollipops and rainbows, but about resilience, adaptability, and the unexpected deals that shape entire careers.What you'll hear: How the Great Recession forged Hue's mindset — and why he never thought of leaving retailThe sabbatical that reset his career and gave him long-term perspectiveWhy “unsexy” tenants like daycares and laundromats can be the most profitable anchorsWhat ICSC attendee lists reveal about a generational shift in retail leadershipHow Saglo builds systems so the president isn't the bottleneckWhy regional tenants with 2–20 stores often outperform big nationalsThe explosion of beverage concepts like Dutch Bros, 7 Brew, and Luckin Coffee — and what makes them different from StarbucksWhy community engagement is often the real driver of tenant successThe hidden risks: consumer debt and retailer leverage vs. the strength of retail real estate fundamentalsLessons on adaptability, resilience, and how a single deal can shape an entire careerChapters00:00 Navigating the Great Recession: A Shared Journey09:32 The Evolution of Retail Real Estate20:47 Current Market Dynamics and Future Outlook24:56 Retail Resilience and Market Dynamics28:22 Concerns in Retail: Debt and Consumer Behavior31:26 The Importance of Community Engagement in Retail34:24 The Rise of Coffee Concepts in Retail40:30 Defining the 'Third Place' in Today's Society

Ready for a choose-your-own cosmic adventure? On this episode of Key Change, co-hosts Anna Garcia and Olga Perez Flora make way for old friends and new. Andrea Fellows Feinberg returns as guest host to introduce the creative team behind the intergalactic opera NOVA, a subversive meditation on responsibility and personal choice set against the end of the world––featuring Composer Brent Michael Davids, Librettist Marcie Rendon, and Music Director Sara Jobin. “We're gonna mess with the traditional opera genre of tragedies and comedies, do something interesting with it, and make two different endings,” confides Brent. He also messes with ideas around conventional sci-fi protagonists and cultural stereotypes. NOVA, for instance, is a brilliant Native American astrophysicist and head of NASA, the Native American Space Agency. Accompanying NOVA are her chief medical officer, Doc, and KID, a bionically modified mischief-maker. Brent hopes these narrative elements will inspire and empower Native youth. If the premise for NOVA sounds vaguely familiar, we teased its development in 2023. Back then, this Opera For All Voices commission was known as Interplanetary Opera. A lot has changed since then, notably the addition of Marcie and Sara, plus Andrea as the production's dramaturg. What hasn't changed is the show's existential ruminations or its humor. “I think that's something I love about this piece and that people might not expect,” notes Sara. “There's a lot of humor in it.” “It's Native humor,” Marcie clarifies. “I wasn't sure that anybody would get it.” A recent run-through alleviated her fears. “People did,” she says, “and that was great!” KEY CHANGE RECOMMENDED EPISODE Connections Across Time and Space: Opera in the Cosmos FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE Brent Michael Davids - Composer Marcie Rendon - Librettist Sara Jobin - Music Director Andrea Fellows Fineberg - Dramaturg and Key Change Guest Host  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Hidden Figures Minnesota Children's Museum Red Eye Theater Clue  Christopher Hitchens Key Change is a production of The Santa Fe Opera, Department of Community Engagement & Education.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Carl takes a step back from the usual format to reflect on the shocking themes of violence, radicalization, and the growing challenges facing today's younger generations. Ruminating on the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk as a focal point, Carl's monologue explores how ideological extremism, campus culture, and unchecked digital influence have created an environment where young people can be drawn into dangerous movements. This reflection isn't only about one tragedy—it's about the bigger story of how our children are being shaped, influenced, and in some cases weaponized by toxic systems. Carl outlines the stages of radicalization, the role universities and online platforms play, and the responsibility we all share as parents, educators, leaders, and citizens. This episode is both a wake-up call and a call to action. If we want to reclaim our children's future, it requires more than words—it requires courage, involvement, and a recommitment to truth and critical thinking.
