face.Nl: Ze begint te lachen, eerst zachtjes, dan harder.En: She starts to laugh, first softly, then harder.Nl: Het is alsof een last van haar schouders valt.En: It's as if a weight falls from her shoulders.Nl: Bram kijkt Sanne aan met een grijns van oor tot oor.En: Bram looks at Sanne with a grin from ear to ear.Nl: "Zie je wel," zegt hij, "soms brengt een beetje chaos juist de mooiste momenten."En: "See," he says, "sometimes a little chaos brings the most beautiful moments."Nl: Sanne knikt, nog lachend.En: Sanne nods, still laughing.Nl: "Misschien heb je wel gelijk," geeft ze toe.En: "Maybe you're right," she admits.Nl: Ze omhelst Bram en steekt een handvol confetti de lucht in.En: She hugs Bram and throws a handful of confetti into the air.Nl: Samen rennen ze lachend door het park, verwelkomd door de herfstbries.En: Together, they run laughing through the park, welcomed by the autumn breeze.Nl: De dag eindigt met een warme omhelzing tussen hen beiden en een nieuw begrip.En: The day ends with a warm embrace between the two of them and a new understanding.Nl: Bram heeft Sanne laten zien hoe prachtig de onverwachte momenten kunnen zijn.En: Bram has shown Sanne how beautiful the unexpected moments can be.Nl: En Sanne, die altijd zo houvast zocht in routine, omarmt deze nieuwe blik met open armen, wetende dat soms juist de onverwachtse momenten voor de mooiste herinneringen zorgen.En: And Sanne, who always sought solace in routine, embraces this new perspective with open arms, knowing that sometimes the most unexpected moments create the most beautiful memories.

Quote of the Week "Summers had a logic all their own and they always brought something out in me. Summer was supposed to be about freedom and youth and no school and possibilities and adventure and exploration. Summer was a book of hope. That's why I loved and hated summers. Because they made me want to believe." ―Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe No episode on 9/15. I'll be in Paris! ------ Thank you for tuning in!

Michael Gants, founder and CEO of Encore, breaks down how apps can turn unused "streak" and celebration screens into a new revenue stream, without a single ad or paywall. He shares how brands like Disney, Uber, and Apple are paying to reach users in their happiest moments, and why founders should be more afraid of a broken CAC/LTV ratio than of running a monetization experiment.

Eine Million Menschen tanzen jedes Jahr um das Zürcher Seebecken. Angefangen hat es mit 1500 – und einem Kampf gegen das Tanzverbot. Marek Krynski, Gründer der Street Parade, erzählt, wie aus einer nächtlichen Eingebung die grösste Technoparade der Welt wurde. In dieser Folge von «Soltis Studiocast» erzählt der damalige Mathematik- und Philosophiestudent, wie ihn 1991 ein MTV-Beitrag über die Berliner Love Parade nicht mehr losliess, bis er mitten in der Nacht aufwachte mit dem Gedanken: Das geht auch in Zürich. Am 5. September 1992 zogen dann rund 1500 Menschen über die Bahnhofstrasse, angemeldet als politische Demonstration gegen das Tanzverbot. Heute kommen gegen eine Million. Krynski erinnert sich an ein Zürich, in dem es «meistens gar nichts gab»: kaum Clubs, kaum Orte, an denen man bis morgens tanzen konnte, wenig Lebensfreude. Er erzählt, wie die Stadt 1994 die Bewilligung verweigerte, weil Zürich angeblich zu klein für die Parade sei, wie eine Medienkonferenz und öffentlicher Druck den Entscheid kippten, und warum die erzwungene Verlegung ans Seebecken das Beste war, was der Parade passieren konnte.Host Christoph Soltmannowski war selbst in die Anfänge involviert: Er gründete damals mit Gregory Zäch, Zeno Van Essel und Peter Wolf das House- und Technomagazin Sputnik, verteilte mit Marek am Voraben der ersten Parade Flyer, war einer der drei Gründer des Vereins Street Parade und war lange Medienchef der Parade. 2002 schrieb er ein Buch über die Street Parade. Entsprechend persönlich fällt das Gespräch aus. Zum Schluss geht es um Marek Krynskis aktuelles Anliegen: die verbreitete Behauptung, Techno habe in Detroit angefangen, wie sie zuletzt auch die Ausstellung im Landesmuseum vertrat. Für ihn liegt der Ursprung woanders, beim Chicago House und beim belgischen New Beat. Warum ihn diese Frage nicht loslässt? «Wir müssen wissen, woher wir kommen, damit wir wissen, wohin wir gehen sollen.»5 wegweisende Songs, ausgesucht von Marek KrynskiFür Marek Krynski ist «Jack Your Body» von Steve «Silk» Hurley der Inbegriff von Chicago House: Wenn er nur ein Lied nennen dürfte, dann dieses. Das Hi-Hat auf dem Offbeat macht für ihn den Kern von House und Techno aus. Es war auch der Song, der ihn selbst zu House brachte. Als Schüler hörte er ihn abends beim Hausaufgabenmachen im «Black Music Special» auf DRS 3, einer Sendung, die ihn sonst kaum interessierte. Nach dreissig Sekunden drückte er die Aufnahmetaste seines Kassettengeräts, hörte das Stück wieder und wieder und tanzte zum ersten Mal allein in seinem Zimmer. Das, sagt er, sei die Magie von House Music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M8Pa4kQCmg… und ebenso wichtig für Marek:GTO – Pure (1990) – ein ganz früher Techno-TitelWenn Marek nur einen Titel abspielen dürfte, um zu erklären, was Techno ist, dann würde Marek GTO – Pure (1990) abspielen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B30T7Ryo3mc«The Sound of C» von Confetti's steht für ihn exemplarisch für den belgischen New Beat: der schleppende Beat und vor allem die Klänge. Chicago House fand er klanglich wenig interessant, erst New Beat brachte die Sounds. Beides zusammen ergibt für Krynski den Techno.https://youtu.be/aV69I6-2G0o?si=lEnLaJM0XEvtIoB8An «Higher Destiny» von Rhythm Device faszinierte ihn der erste bewusste Einsatz des Samplers: Je nachdem, wie hoch oder tief man ein Sample spielt, wird es schneller oder langsamer, was einen ganz eigenen Groove erzeugt. Dahinter steckt Frank De Wulf, für Krynski ein zentraler Name des Techno, gerade wegen seiner B-Seiten.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0oVaCn6U24«People Are People» von Depeche Mode wählte er als Beispiel für den «alten Techno» der frühen Achtziger. Er habe einmal versucht, den Takt zu zählen, und sei gescheitert: Bei House ist das Eins-zwei-drei-vier völlig klar, hier nicht. Sein Punkt: Im frühen Techno war die Rhythmik nicht zentral. Die kam erst mit Chicago House, als Energie fürs Tanzen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzGnX-MbYE4
And although I was really feeling this episode, my brain kept blanking out. Patrick Mahomes plays, of course, for the Kansas City Chiefs. And Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is the world record holder in the 200m.

Quick SummaryIn this energetic solo episode, Kelsey shares three unscripted but surprisingly connected ideas: the power of genuinely celebrating others' wins, using "time confetti" to nourish yourself instead of defaulting to your phone, and the marketing principle of "wrapping your garlic in prosciutto" to make your message irresistible.In This EpisodeWhy two back-to-back engagement announcements sparked a reflection on building a culture of celebrationWhat "time confetti" is and how to use it more intentionally throughout your dayThe "wrap it in ham" story from Layla Hormozi and how it applies directly to your marketing messagingThe difference between garlic marketing and prosciutto marketing (and how to tell which one you're doing)How the Wave Mastermind was born from a desire for a community that celebrates each otherKey TakeawaysCelebrating someone else's win freely and genuinely creates a rising-tide energy for everyone.Time confetti — those scattered micro-moments in your day — can be reclaimed for nourishing habits instead of mindless scrolling.Your best ideas don't come from sitting at your desk in a routine. Get out, move, change your environment.If your marketing message sounds like plain garlic, wrap it in prosciutto — speak to the outcome people actually desire.Community is essential for entrepreneurs. Without people to celebrate your wins with, success can feel hollow.Memorable Quotes"Your best ideas are not going to come while you're sitting at your desk in the same 9-to-5 routine you've created for yourself.""When you celebrate others freely and genuinely, you win, I win, we all win.""Is your Instagram bio garlic, or is it garlic wrapped with prosciutto? Because that's where the attention travels."Resources MentionedKelsey's Website: www.KelseyReidl.comKelsey's Instagram: @KelseyReidlLayla Hormozi (concept: "wrap it in ham")The WAVE Mastermind (co-founded by Kelsey and Emily) — community for entrepreneursAbout the HostKelsey Reidl is an entrepreneur, fractional CMO, and host of Rain or Shine (formerly Visionary Life).

Send us Fan MailA bucket hat shows up in our lives again, and this time it's not just an awkward dinner story. We read a real headline about a Florida bank robber who demanded cash in his bucket hat, then basically helped police catch him by continuing to wear the thing. It's ridiculous, it's funny, and it somehow fits perfectly with our ongoing theory that bucket hats cause people to go a little berserk.We also bring back a favorite guest, Miya, for a warm update on Confetti, the well-traveled Beanie Baby who keeps tagging along on rides, vacations, and big moments. That opens the door to Beanie Baby history, the 1990s collectible craze, and why most of the “value” talk misses the point when the real payoff is memory and tradition. On top of that, we share a practical travel tip for anyone booking flights with flexibility, plus a Listener Spotlight that lands in Powell, Tennessee, complete with a railroad stop origin story and novelty architecture.Then we shift gears into something we genuinely want every road user to know: cyclists helped drive the early push for better roads in the United States through the Good Roads Movement and the League of American Wheelmen, before cars dominated transportation. It's the kind of history that changes what you say the next time someone yells “get off the road.” We wrap with a look ahead: we're attempting daily Tour de France mini episodes with quick recaps, jersey basics, and beginner-friendly commentary as we follow the race day by day.Subscribe, share this with a riding buddy, and leave us a review that's actually about the show. What part of the road do you think we all need to relearn together? SupportSupport the showAdam and Michael's friendship has grown through years of shared miles, challenges, and laughter on the bike. Their passion for cycling has carried them through life's twists and turns, creating a bond full of stories, jokes, and unforgettable rides. In their podcast, they bring that same spirit to the mic—sharing adventures, trading banter, and welcoming listeners into their cycling community. Whether tackling steep climbs or cruising open roads, their conversations capture the fun, friendship, and freedom that cycling brings.

On the KMC Collective Podcast, the team discusses why celebrating kids ministry milestones—especially promotion weekends like Move Up Sunday—matters for children and parents, and emphasizes being intentional and consistent rather than extravagant. They compare different promotion timing approaches (beginning of summer vs. end of summer/fall) and share practical celebration ideas such as preview weekends, gradual transitions, a “slide into your new grade” event, inflatables, photo booths, postcards, ice cream sundaes, and low-budget décor. The conversation highlights partnering with student ministry to help fourth/fifth graders transition to middle school through early visits, repeated touchpoints, shared worship elements, and involving youth as leaders in kids ministry. They close by encouraging leaders to create simple “confetti moments” of recognition and celebration and invite listeners to continue the conversation in their Facebook group and KidMinPlus.net

À Mayotte, archipel français de l'océan Indien, jusque-là l'immigration provenait essentiellement des îles voisines des Comores. Mais, les conflits sur le continent africain rebattent les cartes. Depuis plusieurs années, des migrants la région des Grands Lacs et de Somalie affluent en nombre vers le département français d'Outre-mer. En 2024, les Congolais de RDC étaient majoritaires parmi ceux qui y présentaient une première demande d'asile. Cela, devant les Comoriens. Ils demandent l'asile à la France, mais sur place les infrastructures ne sont pas adaptées, et la plupart vivent dans l'extrême précarité. À Tsoundzou, au sud de Mamoudzou, le chef-lieu de Grande Terre, un camp informel compte plus de 1 000 personnes. « Mayotte, confetti français hostile pour exilés congolais », un Grand reportage de Lisa Morisseau.

They also cover news updates including missing scientists and investigations, a cruise murder charge, a California bear-suit insurance scam, a major hailstorm, odd human-interest stunts, movie recommendations, and everyday frustrations like deli service and Krispy Kreme orders.
James Ferguson is back on the show to talk about his new book, Seek the Good and Celebrate, and the leadership framework that came out of 12 weeks of chemotherapy. He shares what it was like to lose his job, get a cancer diagnosis, and watch his wife go into early labor all in the same week, and how that experience rewired the way he shows up as a leader. We get into his CONFETTI model, the mindset shift from protecting your team to preparing them, why engagement is a practice and satisfaction is just a promise, and the simple Friday habit he uses to celebrate small wins. Practical, honest, and full of ideas any leader at any level can put to work tomorrow.

We spend most of our lives working, yet so many of us have been taught that “ambition” has to come at the cost of our health and our weekends. On this episode of On Brand, I'm joined by Amy Leneker, a leadership consultant who has helped over 100,000 leaders move from soul-crushing burnout to what she calls “The Un-Stressing Method.” We're diving into her upcoming book, Cheers to Monday, to discuss why finding joy is actually a high-performance business strategy and how leaders can finally break the cycle of exhaustion to connect more authentically with their teams and their brands. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why modern culture gets the definition of resilience unequivocally wrong and how overusing work ethic can become a leadership weakness How to navigate the Un-Stressing Method by seeing stress through the lens of importance and control before sorting it into actionable categories The specific reason celebration is a non-negotiable step for high-achieving leaders and why it is a leading driver of joy at work The results of a national workforce study revealing the startling gap between the number of executives who need joy to perform and those who actually feel it How to apply the ABCs of Joy—Awareness, Breath, and Connection—to build a buffer against future stress and improve team performance Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (01:23) Surviving burnout twice (02:13) Why culture gets resilience wrong (04:33) The Un-Stressing Method framework (05:55) Celebrating small wins (08:55) Confetti cannons and authentic appreciation (11:26) Joy as a smart business strategy (13:52) The ABCs of Joy: Awareness, Breath, Connection (17:38) Communicating stress to your team (19:52) Managing the Sunday night dread (22:30) Why "loving your job" is a myth (23:51) A brand that made her smile (25:20) Where to find Amy About Amy Leneker Amy Leneker is a leadership consultant and the author of Cheers to Monday. Having helped over 100,000 leaders and teams—including those at Fortune 100 companies—she specializes in science-backed roadmaps to break free from burnout. With over 25 years of leadership experience and a decade in the C-suite, Amy's work is deeply informed by her own personal journey of surviving burnout twice. She has studied at Yale, the NeuroLeadership Institute, and Harvard Medical School to help others succeed without sacrificing their health or their weekends. What Brand Has Made Amy Smile Recently? Amy shared her love for Costco, a brand she actually worked for during her college years before the era of scanners. She highlighted how the company's core values show up in everything they do, making it one of her favorite places to shop today. Resources & Links Connect with Amy on LinkedIn.

It's LAUNCH WEEK - the DADAWESOME book is available to the world! https://www.dadawesome.org/book In today's episode, Jeff shares what actually happened on book launch day (confetti, a four-year-old, and one very close call with a pair of white shoes), reads Chapter 18 of DADAWESOME live, and honors the grandpa whose legacy made this whole thing possible. ✅ The upstream generational moves Jeff's grandpa made that are still changing lives today ✅ The Crashing Cabinet — a chapter about the $2 wall strap that changes how you think about fatherhood systems ✅ Why your family needs a free dad, not a perfect one SUMMARY: The Christmas card version of fatherhood isn't real life — and Jeff Zaugg isn't pretending otherwise. In this book launch episode, Jeff reads Chapter 18 of the DADAWESOME book, shares the upstream legacy moves his grandpa made that are still bearing fruit today, and tells the story of what actually happened on launch day (hint: it involved confetti, a four-year-old, and a pair of white shoes that almost didn't survive). TAKEAWAYS: Thinking generationally means asking what moves you make today will still be bearing fruit with your grandkids and great-grandkids. Small, preventative systems — like a $2 wall strap — protect your family before the pressure hits, not after the crash. Your inadequacies as a father create space for God's strength to work through you, not around you. Unresolved pain is like hidden glass — sharp, waiting, and causing damage until it's fully addressed. Your family doesn't need a perfect dad. They need a free one. GUEST Jeff Zaugg is the founder of DadAwesome, host of the DadAwesome Podcast (400+ episodes, 8+ years), and author of the newly released book DADAWESOME. He and his wife have four daughters and are based in Northeast, Florida. QUOTES "Your family doesn't need a perfect dad. They need a free one." "Small choices prevent big disasters. Asking for help before the crash is wisdom, not weakness." "Unresolved pain is like hidden glass — sharp, waiting, cutting us when we least expect it." "Our inadequacies as fathers create space for God's power to work through us." "Brotherhood isn't a luxury for fathers who have margin. It's oxygen for fathers who are drowning."

Do you ever end the day completely exhausted… but can't quite explain what you actually did? You're not alone — and there's a name for it: time confetti. In this episode of Motherish, we're diving into the invisible way our time gets scattered across a million tiny tasks, leaving us drained but feeling like nothing got done. We talk about managing expectations, redefining productivity in motherhood and unpacking the mom guilt that comes with never feeling “caught up.” Because the truth is, it's not that you're not doing enough — it's that you're doing everything, just in pieces.
Confetti moments—from professional milestones to 90th birthdays—frame a deeper discussion about independence and retirement planning. This episode with Jackie Campbell explores how solo adults navigate financial decisions, why coordination matters, and how viewing life as “one financial story” helps simplify complex choices. It’s a blend of celebration, reflection, and practical insight. For more information or to schedule a consultation call 352-251-1015 or visit www.mycampbellandco.com!

If you've ever wondered what it looks like to build a balloon empire, this episode will show you. I'm sitting down with "the Carolina sisters", Haley and Alley of Carolina Balloons and Confetti, a second generation balloon powerhouse who quietly crossed seven figures in revenue with a team that is basically their family. But first, thank you to this month's presenting sponsor, Tuftex, who selected Haley and Ali as their guest of the month. Tuftex Balloons is the only manufacturer making latex balloons in the USA. They're committed to providing premium products and building a stronger balloon community through education. They've also been so supportive of the podcast, so thank you to such a great company! And Haley and Alley were the perfect Tuftex pick because their dad started the company in the 80s when Tuftex was still called Maple City Rubber. They grew up inside balloon boxes, they were rigging balloon drops before they could drive and now they're running massive corporate installs, stadium confetti blasts, street festivals, LED and traditional marquee setups, giant rental games… and casually doing $200,000 in a single month of sales. We talk legacy, takeover, sales psychology, burnout, pivoting during COVID and we get very honest about what it actually takes to grow this big. Buckle up, this episode is packed!

A great reminder brought to us by Ms. Tammy Cole about the importance of embracing the less fun seasons we women find ourselves in. That all seasons, even those that are less shiny, are part of God's plan for us.
Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨Ever notice how faith slips from alive to automatic without a dramatic moment or decision? Desireé shines a light on that quiet drift and offers a clear way back, using Joel 2:12–13 and Psalm 51:10 as a practical map.We talk about why hearts grow tired, how routine replaces wonder, and why Lent is less about gritting our teeth and more about making space for grace. We explore the difference between performing for God and returning to God with our whole, imperfect selves.Desireé shares three nightly questions that spark awareness and intimacy with God:Where did I sense Him today?Where did I feel distant?What stirred my heart?These prompts pair with a simple, powerful prayer that becomes a handrail when life shakes us. You'll also walk through a vivid, guided reflection.If your days feel full but your soul feels thin, this conversation offers relief and direction. Expect practical spiritual habits, honest talk about busyness, and a renewed sense that God is gracious, compassionate, and near.We are throwing around encouragement like confetti once again... and possibly getting it all over your J's!

t's finally here—Super Bowl LX—and somehow the coaching carousel still hasn't stopped spinning.We kick things off with the latest NFL shakeups, including Todd Monken landing in Cleveland, Mike LaFleur taking over in Arizona, the Raiders waiting patiently for Klint Kubiak, and the Vikings making a surprise move in the front office. Plus, the Saints head to Paris because… of course they do.Derek dives into the Kubiak legacy and what it's meant for the AFC West, while Caleb lays out why offense continues to be the fastest way to land (and keep) a head coaching job in today's NFL.Then it's time for the main event: a full-blown Super Bowl prop bet draft, courtesy of DraftKings. Coin tosses, touchdowns, punts, safeties, Gatorade colors—if it can be bet on, we probably argued about it. This is less “sharp analysis” and more “educated chaos,” which feels right for Super Bowl week.We wrap things up with X-factors on both sides of the ball—from Cooper Kupp and Kenneth Walker III to Devon Witherspoon, Hunter Henry, and the specialists who might quietly swing the game—and finish with our final score predictions for Seahawks vs. Patriots.One last preview before the confetti falls. After this, it's just football, commercials, and regret over the props we didn't take.Theme music by The Riley Brothers Band.

Confetti at the finish is only part of the story. We sit down with Walt Disney World Marathon champion Matt Hensley to trace the path from family running roots and college grind to a smart, tactical win built on adaptation, fueling, and a decisive late-race move. Matt walks us through race-week realities—working the expo, long park days, heavy legs—and explains how dew point data and small early adjustments can save a marathon when heat sneaks in. He opens his playbook on fueling (60–90g carbs per hour), mid-race decision-making, and the difference between racing for time and racing for place, including the surge that sealed the pass near mile 20.The conversation widens to purpose, mindset, and coaching. As the founder of Boulder Underground, Matt shares how he coaches beginners to elites by aligning big goals with daily habits, calling on a trusted network of PTs, dietitians, and mental performance experts. We dig into his three-part framework for 26.2—body, mind, and spirit—so listeners leave with practical steps: test nutrition in training, find early flow instead of forcing splits, and anchor to a meaningful why when the tough miles arrive. Along the way, you'll hear a hilarious nearly-Guinness-record family saga, Disney course highlights, and the energizing role of characters, music, and community on race day.We also spotlight our Disneyland meetup details, roll call an enormous list of racers, and celebrate listener PRs from 5K to marathon. Whether you're chasing a Boston qualifier, your first half, or a steadier long run, you'll find tools and motivation to sharpen your next start line.

Send us a textSunshine, fairways, and a hall full of creators—this Florida trip gave us exactly what we needed: time together and a clearer sense of why we make this show the way we do. We walked into Podfest surrounded by pitch decks and monetization playbooks and walked out more committed to community, consistency, and the simple joy of talking to people we like about places we love.We compare notes on the shifting podcast landscape, from platform‑heavy expo floors to practical YouTube strategies that won't burn out a two‑person team. Buzzsprout friends shared smart, human advice that fits a steady biweekly cadence. Over dinner, our longtime friend Armando dropped Disney gems that reminded us travel stories are the heartbeat of Road Adventures. Listener Spotlights celebrate Frankfurt, Germany—hot‑dog history, efficient transit, and the world's biggest book fair—and Marshall, Illinois, where a community band and a 19th‑century stone arch keep local pride alive.Life updates are part of the path. With a job search underway, we've paused big cycling trips like BRAG and the Katy Trail while still backing our teams and planning bite‑size updates from the road. A surprise golf glow‑up—better contact, calmer decisions—became a quiet metaphor for the show: progress without pressure. We also talk market headwinds, why bike sales may be cooling, and how AI demand is nudging tech prices up. Between mobile recording quirks, a cameo from Confetti, and the long‑awaited closure of the “bucket hat” saga, we keep it real, useful, and light.If you're here for cycling culture, travel memories, Disney lore, or just a thoughtful take on podcasting without the hustle, you'll feel at home.
