EVENT: THIS SATURDAY EDSBS will be in town to celebrate Michigan fans once again dominating the Charity Bowl. Brush up on your shipwrecks trivia, find us at the library, and meet up for drinks afterwards at Venue. It's free but RSVP here so we can get a head count. BOOK: If you want a VALIANT, THE KICKSTARTER is still going on. If you want your name in it or need to add something to your order, email me. Things Discussed: Make Sam happy: We've got the #1 pick in the 2027 NHL Draft coming. Even better, DuPont falls under The Shouneyia Law: All Michigan stars should be 5'11" wigglers who score in droves. Dusty May reaction: We're blindsided that it happened in late June, but didn't expect Dusty to be here for 30 years. It takes a Tom Izzo who loves being the king of a tiny country to do that. Could be a Mike Macdonald/Jesse Minter thing: sometimes you get a legend on his way. Circumstances of college basketball today amplified Dusty's genius. His ability to put together a roster was especially effective in a situation where everybody's rosters are poachable. Converse of Bo, who was the right guy for a time when players were really trapped at one school through the course of their development. Sam: Dusty could have won in any era (point conceded). Boynton/staff? What does "interim" mean? Probably that it's a "you've got a year to show it." Will he be interim for the entirety of next season? Yeah. Then why aren't we calling Josh Schertz? Brian: Disabuse people of the notion that going from college to the NBA is a good idea. Brad Stevens is one man. Dusty? Based on history he'll get chewed up, because NBA coaches are disposable and not really in charge. Beilein lost his damn mind (yes, would say this to his face); he was a fundamentals-teaching college lifer. Counterpoint: Dusty's not as much of a college coach; he's a roster-builder and a locker room guy who loves to watch film, isn't interested in spending half of his time fundraising. Brian goes off on Warde for losing four great coaches to better jobs, Craig argues Dusty told Warde I'm staying and every one of those events is explainable. Sam: There was plenty of evidence you were going to lose Dusty next year, but not this June. Seth argues (borrowing from a commenter) is it doesn't look like we're being proactive (is there any AD in America who wouldn't give Dusty the best contract in the Big Ten?). Consideration: If you poach another coach, that's two rosters and coaching staffs you can build from rather than fighting Dusty for your staff and fighting everyone else in college basketball for your roster. Canham always had three coaches in his drawer. Being a leader doesn't just mean defending your tower; you have to be agile, and ready to make decisive, advantageous moves. From an outsider's perspective, does it look like that's what's going on in our athletics department, or does it look like we're making decisions on ChatGPT? Why Duke kept Scheyer: they grew him, and they have a basketball culture.

“It was this conversation between three generations — but I was the only one who could speak. Someone wise told me to recognize the gifts that come with change. That was really a gift. There’s a connection there across generations. And that’s really what Hoffman does.” – Mike Ingrasci Drew and Mike/Hoffman Podcast Studio Hoffman’s Director of Marketing, Mike Ingrasci, sits down with Drew to talk marketing, brand, and his Hoffman experience. The son of Raz and Liza Ingrasci, founders of the Institute, Mike’s experience of Hoffman goes way back. He shares, “I think that I got Hoffman a bit through osmosis, whether it was like whispers in the house, teachers who came to visit at dinner, just the way in which my parents raised us as children. …They really let us be kids, and they were protective of that, because they had done the Process, and they knew what that meant.” Raz, Mike, and Leo Since Raz’s passing, Mike has reflected on the gifts that come with change. His friend suggested this as a way through the tough time ahead. Between the day Raz passed away, Dec 31, 2025, and the day of his Celebration of Life in March, Mike and Sara needed to take turns putting Leo to bed. Leo was going through a stage where he didn’t want to be left alone. So every other evening, Mike would lie on the floor by Leo, writing into his Notes app on his phone. One night, he realized that there were three generations linked – father, son, grandson – and only one of them – Mike – could speak. He continued to write the words from this generational connection, eventually sharing them with the over 1500 friends and family gathered. As Mike shares, this is a cornerstone of what Hoffman is about. Aligning and refining Hoffman’s Brand: As Director of Marketing, one of Mike’s goals is to align and refine Hoffman’s brand to accurately reflect the decades of powerful transformational experiences of well over 100,000 Process graduates. When young, Mike had a hard time knowing how to talk about the Process. He knew his parents were ‘helping people,’ and that they loved and wholeheartedly believed in the Process. Once Mike took the Process in 2009, he understood, as a lived experience, what he could never conceptualize. And now, it is perfect that he is the guide for this elevation of Hoffman’s brand into something that reflects what it is and makes it welcoming, understandable, and reflective of its organic coolness. Armed with a mood board, Instagram, and a lifetime surrounded by Hoffman, Mike is crafting an ever-evolving invitation into the profound beauty and magic of the Hoffman Process. For Mike, Brand = Promise + Experience + Reputation.  At Hoffman, these three things have always been incredibly strong. The Process delivers on its promise, the experience is transformative, and the reputation speaks for itself. Mike’s approach isn’t about changing any of that…it's about building the world around it: creating an ecosystem that feels thoughtful, elevated, and welcoming for both people discovering Hoffman for the first time and graduates who continue to engage with it for years. His goal is simple: to make every touchpoint reflect the integrity of the Process, and elevate how Hoffman is experienced and perceived while remaining true to the work itself. We hope you feel the warmth and care of this invitation and conversation. https://youtu.be/OlvZy60Vjkc Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Mike Ingrasci: Liza, Mike, Raz, and Marissa Long before joining the Hoffman Institute as Director of Marketing, Mike Ingrasci was embraced by the Process. His parents, Raz and Liza Ingrasci, served as its stewards for decades. Hoffman was woven into the fabric of Mike’s childhood. Mike earned a BFA from USC's School of Cinematic Arts before beginning his career as Director of Video at Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp. He joined Barack Obama’s historic 2008 presidential campaign as an intern, then became a key member of the 2012 Obama campaign’s Chicago-based video team. He produced content for the President throughout his successful re-election campaign. This experience reinforced Mike's belief in the power of storytelling to move people and create change. Leo, Mike, Sara Ingrasci Over twelve years, Mike helped build John Elliott into one of the world’s most respected independent fashion brands. He led sales and brand marketing while helping shape its creative voice. During Mike's tenure, the brand earned accolades, including GQ’s Best New Menswear Designer, presented runway shows in New York and Paris, and collaborated with globally recognized brands Nike, Converse, Gap, and more. That experience shaped Mike’s approach to marketing: the best stories don’t sell — they connect. Although Mike grew up around Hoffman, the Process itself remained unknown until he attended in 2009. His biggest takeaway? While many of us spend our lives searching for love outside ourselves, we’re ultimately looking for the ability to give more love — and the openness to receive it. This realization underscores Mike’s work, relationships, approach to fatherhood, and the stories he tells. Mike lives in Northern California with his wife, Sara, and their two-year-old son, Leonardo “Leo” James. Leo’s middle name honors Raz, whose lifelong dedication to the human potential movement inspires Mike’s work and belief in the transformative power of the Process.

ESAÚ E JACÓ. PREDESTINADOS? – ENCONTRO COM AS PROFECIAS 007 A profecia que vamos estudar hoje apresenta alguns aspectos de grande importância para todos nós, mesmo tendo sido anunciada há muito tempo atrás. O nascimento de um filho é algo que gera alegria, ansiedade, preocupação. Mas a maior ansiedade é causada quando se quer, se deseja um filho e não se pode tê-lo. Isaque, o filho da promessa de Abraão, tinha quarenta anos quando se casou com Rebeca. Rebeca não podia ter filhos. Como resultado de muita oração ela ficou grávida. E o casal estava certo. Eles estavam usando o meio correto de resolver um problema. A oração é a chave que abre os armazéns do céu. E nós precisamos usar mais essa chave. Muitos diante dos problemas fazem promessas a santos e espíritos; oferecem sacrifícios de animais e até de seres humanos. Esta, porém, não é a forma indicada pela Bíblia para resolver um problema. Se você está com problemas não precisa pagar nada a ninguém. Onde você está, se puder se ajoelhar, fique ajoelhado; se não puder, não se preocupe. Ore. Converse com Deus, conte o seu problema. Inicie uma luta, junto com Deus, diante da dificuldade que você enfrenta. A escritora Ellen White define a oração como sendo o “único meio para se obter êxito diante de um conflito” (Atos dos Apóstolos, p. 564). Portanto, não busque outro caminho. A oração é o meio apontado por Deus para resolver o teu problema. Gênesis 25:21 diz que Isaque orou insistentemente. Aí está o segredo: a perseverança na oração é a chave para obter resposta ao problema. Isaque devia aprender que o filho da promessa, seria o resultado da manifestação da graça divina. Isaque tinha 40 anos quando se casou com Rebeca (verso 20).  O verso 26 – última parte – diz que ele tinha sessenta quando os gêmeos nasceram. Portanto ele orou, pelo menos, 19 anos sobre o problema que o atingia! Amigo ouvinte, quando você tem um pedido a Deus, por quanto tempo você ora? Isaque orou 19 anos! Que exemplo para nós que nos queixamos tanto dos problemas. Por isso, se você tem dificuldades com marido, esposa, filhos, trabalho, saúde; eu tenho a solução para os seus problemas: comece a orar! Mas, vamos a profecia de Gênesis 25:22 e 23: “os filhos lutavam no ventre dela; então, disse: se é assim, por que vivo eu? E consultou ao SENHOR. Respondeu-lhe o SENHOR: duas nações há no teu ventre, dois povos, nascidos de ti, se dividirão: um povo será mais forte que o outro, e o mais velho servirá ao mais moço.” � Esta profecia envolvia dois fetos, que segundo a descrição da mãe, lutavam em seu ventre. Rebeca estava preocupada. Naquele tempo não existiam os recursos da medicina moderna. Então ela questiona o Senhor Deus: “Por que isto está acontecendo comigo?” Este é o tipo de pergunta que fazemos com muita freqüência. “Por que eu?” “Por que só acontece comigo?” Amigo ouvinte, os problemas não são privilégio de uns poucos e nem só dos que estão distantes de Deus. Mesmo os que estão do lado de Deus podem ser atingidos pelas dificuldades. O significado da profecia. Verso 23: “São dois povos” – A promessa feita a Abraão agora começa a se cumprir. O mais novo, o que nascer por último, será mais forte; o que nascer primeiro será mais fraco. Assim nasceram Esaú e Jacó. Jacó tornou-se o pai da nação de Israel. Ninguém tem dúvidas disso. Esaú, pai dos edomitas. (Gênesis 36: 31-43). A história bíblica registra que essas duas nações irmãs foram sempre inimigas. Mas Israel, porém, demonstrou ser o mais forte. Vou citar só um exemplo: Davi – Rei de Israel, subjugou os edomitas (II Samuel 8:14) e o rei Amazias mais tarde os derrotou (II Reis 14:7). Diante desta profecia muitos podem questionar: “Então Deus predestinou Jacó para o sucesso e Esaú para o fracasso!” Amigo ouvinte, a Bíblia não apóia a idéia da predestinação como alguns a defendem. Um para o sucesso e outro para o fracasso. Deus não seria um Deus de amor, como é apresentado em I João 4:8, se de uma forma ditatorial, já determinasse um para o fracasso e outro para o sucesso. Como explicamos isso então? Deus é onisciente e Ele conhece o passado, presente e futuro. Para Ele tudo é conhecido, é sabido, porque Ele é Deus. E como Deus Ele contou à uma mãe aflita o que iria acontecer com seus filhos. Mas jamais Deus marcou um para o fracasso e outro para o sucesso. Amigo ouvinte, não pense que você, por estar passando eventualmente por alguns problemas, foi predestinado por Deus para ser um perdedor, um fracassado. Você é muito especial para Deus. Ele é amor. Ele te ama. Viva feliz, confiante no Deus que ouviu a oração de um pai aflito e respondeu a pergunta de uma mãe que estava tomada de preocupação. Um Deus que tem você em alta conta e deseja tornar realidade cada um de teus sonhos. E sempre é bom lembrar também: Creia no Senhor teu Deus e você estará seguro. Creia nos profetas dEle e você prosperará (II Crônicas 20:20).

The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan and Question Master Tiffanny Dreams, Orbs, Animal Souls, Remote Viewing, and the Energy Behind Manifestation Julia Cannon Opens The Metaphysical Hour In this episode of The Metaphysical Hour, hosts Julia Cannon, Tracie Mahan, and Tiffany welcome listeners back for a live question-and-answer conversation about energy, dreams, spirit communication, remote viewing, manifestation, and QHHT. Julia begins by explaining that the previous week had been unusually draining for her energetically, and Tracie connects that to the possibility of solar flares, moon energy, and larger energetic shifts. The hosts check in with the audience, ask listeners to share where they are shining their light from, and frame the show as a global grid of people strengthening their energy together. Energy Shifts, Sleep, and Forward Movement The opening conversation focuses on how the hosts are personally feeling. Tracie says she feels more optimistic, as if a stagnant or paused energy has finally begun moving again. Julia agrees that things feel better than the previous week, especially because she has been sleeping better. The hosts emphasize the importance of sleep for the body, even if the soul itself does not need it in the same way. They describe the current energy as one of gradual forward movement, after a period of waiting, limbo, and low vitality. Orbs, Colors, Shadows, and Trusting Inner Feeling The first questions involve the meaning of gray or black colors around orbs or people, and why crossed-over pets may sometimes appear as dark shadows. Tracie suggests that gray may indicate cloudy or depressed energy, while Julia says it could also reflect a partial disconnection from the body or a state of trauma, depending on the context. They both stress that the person seeing the orb or shadow should trust their own feeling. If the experience feels loving or curious, that matters; if it feels fearful, the viewer should check whether the fear is coming from the situation or from their own uncertainty about the unknown. Animal Kingdoms and Collective Souls The hosts also discuss the idea of collective souls in the animal kingdom, connecting it to Dolores Cannon's teachings about animal group souls. Julia explains that animals are part of a collective or group consciousness, but when a person brings an animal into their personal life, gives it love, attention, and a distinct personality, that relationship helps develop the animal's individuality. Tracie adds that this relationship gives the animal soul an opportunity to evolve. The conversation presents human-animal relationships as spiritually meaningful, because love and connection can help an animal soul become more individualized. Remembering Dreams and Understanding Dream Symbols Another major theme is dream recall. The hosts recommend writing dreams down as soon as possible after waking, because details disappear quickly if people wait until morning. Tracie shares that she does not always write dreams down, but certain dreams have stayed with her for years because they felt more like visions than ordinary dreams. Tiffany recalls childhood dreams about “killer rolling pulleys” wearing Converse shoes and sunglasses, which leads the hosts to discuss how strange dreams may be visits to other worlds, symbolic experiences, or reflections of other lives. They also recommend using dream books, especially Betty Bethards' The Dream Book, while reminding listeners to trust what resonates personally. Dreams, the Veil, and Shadow Beings Julia and Tracie explain that some experiences after sleep, such as seeing shadow figures or having sleep-paralysis-like visions, may happen because the soul is not fully reconnected with the body yet. In that transitional state, a person may see through the veil into another dimension and interpret what they see through fear. Julia says some people assume they are seeing dark or evil entities when they may actually be seeing guides or other beings in a form the conscious mind cannot fully process. The hosts encourage listeners to remove fear and judgment, pray or call in their team if needed, and remember that not everything unfamiliar is harmful. Fear, ETs, and Learning to Stay Centered The hosts spend time discussing fear as one of the major energies people come to Earth to experience and learn from. Tracie shares a memory of a mantis-being dream or encounter in which she kept checking her solar plexus to see whether fear was present. Because she felt no fear, she stayed with the experience. Julia says extraterrestrial beings and other-dimensional beings often work to approach humans in ways that do not immediately trigger fear, because fear interferes with communication and growth. The hosts explain that fear can sometimes be protective, but living in fear keeps people from expanding. Manifestation, Soul Contracts, and What Really Needs to Be Created A question from Instagram leads to a discussion about manifestation and soul contracts. The question asks whether manifesting can work if the soul has already planned certain lessons. Julia and Tracie explain that if a desired manifestation would interfere with a soul path, it may not happen. They use the example of someone trying to manifest a lottery win when the deeper desire may actually be freedom, travel, ease, or playfulness. They suggest focusing on the feeling or experience behind the desire rather than the specific outer object. They also caution that manifestation cannot control another person, because each soul has its own path and free will. Remote Viewing, Remote Healing, and Energy Connection The hosts then discuss remote viewing and remote healing. Tracie says remote viewing has been coming up more often and that beings such as the mantis beings have been working with people on telepathy and remote perception. Julia and Tracie explain that because everything is energy, people can practice remote viewing by connecting with a person, place, pet, or situation through the energy field. They share examples of remotely checking on animals and of a group remote-healing exercise during a trip to Egypt, where participants attempted to perceive and send healing to someone at a distance. The lesson is that energy connection does not require physical proximity. Colors, Auras, Sound, and Expanding Perception A listener asks about seeing colors while sending love and light. Julia and Tracie say this could be the person's aura, spirit energy, guides, or the energetic field responding. They explain that energy has color, sound has color, and as consciousness evolves, people may begin seeing more colors, auras, and dimensional overlays than before. Julia connects this to expanding perception, DNA activation, and humanity becoming a vibrational match for frequencies that have always existed but were not previously visible to most people. QHHT, Santa Fe Retreat, and Closing Reminders The episode closes with reminders about QHHT, where listeners can find practitioners, ask deeper questions, and become practitioners themselves. Julia directs people to QHTOfficial.com, while Tracie mentions the coupon code The Magic Is Real for the Level One course. They also promote an upcoming retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico, scheduled for September 3–7, with the discount code 5DLOVE. The show ends with the hosts thanking the audience, encouraging listeners to continue exploring their intuition, and reminding them that energy, dreams, fear, manifestation, and spirit communication are all part of the larger process of awakening.

Day One Agency's efforts to capture Gen Z's attention with Adam Levine-inspired Chipotle campaigns and Webby-winning Converse launches have paid off: the midsize agency reported a 7.4% revenue increase for 2025. For CEO Josh Rosenberg, the key isn't about chasing every fleeting TikTok trend, it's about radical listening. In this episode, Josh sits down to discuss the delicate balance of keeping legacy brands like L.L. Bean modern without losing their core identity, and how they turned a viral internet meme into a massive, community-driven campaign for Chipotle. He breaks down why true authenticity is a brand's ultimate defense in the age of AI, how Day One's new editorial work helps clients navigate an increasingly complex cultural landscape and what the agency's signature "Day One Orange" says about their approach to fresh storytelling. campaignlive.com Music - Take you Out by Lucid Tides, courtesy of Triple Scoop.

The time has finally come. Julia reacts to the series finale of HBO's beloved, "Euphoria." While Julia is still enticing, beguiling, interesting, and as funny as ever, this episode goes deep. Join this day one Zendaya stan as she emotionally says bye to her close personal friend, Rue Bennett. The finale was not perfect (you still could not pay Julia to want to hear Alamo tell Maddy she needs to have his cocoa-colored babies (like what)), but Euphoria was a beautiful and usually very raw show that introduced us to both the struggles and beauty of a character that will go down in popular culture history, so eloquently and honestly portrayed by Zendaya Coleman. Julia wishes Rue Bennett nothing but eternal peace, and she hopes you do as well. Be present for this episode... laugh, cry, hold hands with a loved one, and remember the kind, Converse-wearing soul we patiently awaited to see on our screens every Sunday night. Regardless of what you think of the show, please accompany Julia on this farewell to Ruby "Rue" Bennett, and let us remember and celebrate her forever!

Based on Lady Antonia Fraser's 2001 biography and directed by Sofia Coppola, the 2006 Oscar-winning movie Marie Antoinette portrays the queen in a way you might not expect, making her a relatable person, a teenager who becomes a leader, coping with life's ups and downs all while trying to have some fun too. The stylistic flair and visual embellishments (watch for a pair of Converse sneakers) make plenty of scenes feel like a dessert tray thanks to the friendly, sweet color choices and Milena Canonero's work which won a 2007 Oscar for Best Achievement in Costume Design. Designer Sofia Cababa Wood has always loved the movie and as a teenager reenacted moments while visiting France, it's a movie the Seattle-based product designer at eBay definitely watches once a year.-Sofia Cababa Wood is a Seattle-based product designer at eBay. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Visual Communication Design from the University of Washington in 2020. She cut her teeth at various design studios, with a specialty in data visualization.

In this episode of Face2Face, David Peck sits down with filmmaker Andy Hines and songwriter Adam Baldwin to explore the powerful Canadian film Little Lorraine. What begins as a conversation about a song becomes a deeper reflection on storytelling, community and the human condition. Together, they unpack how a simple narrative rooted in Cape Breton evolves into a compelling film about desperation, resilience, and belonging. With stunning cinematography and emotionally rich performances, Little Lorraine is ultimately a story about family, survival and the quiet search for healing in hard times.Andy Hines was born into a creative family, Andy's passion for the arts has been a lifelong endeavor.

Beyond filmmaking, Andy has spent time as an art director for Converse special projects and as a creative director for Grammy nominated singer Khalid, designing the campaign that brought Khalid on the tarmac for his historic performance in front of the Virgin Galactic on its maiden voyage to space.When Andy is away from set, he spends much of his time in the wilderness of Canada and Northern California raising his two daughters, tending to his lifelong passion of raising chickens and goats.Adam Baldwin is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Nova Scotia known for his vivid, character-driven storytelling and East Coast perspective. Blending folk, country, and rock influences, his music explores themes of hardship, resilience, and everyday life with honesty and depth.His song Lighthouse in Little Lorraine, inspired by a real story, became the foundation for the feature film of the same name.

But in reality, it does the opposite. It waters down your brand, confuses your audience, and makes you forgettable.The brands that actually win — the ones doing millions — all have one thing in common: a hero product.In this video, I break down what a hero product really is, why it's so powerful, and how it's the key to building a clothing brand that people actually remember and buy from. I walk through real examples like Supreme, Nike, Fear of God, Converse, and Lululemon, and show you exactly how they use this strategy to dominate.I also explain how to identify your own hero product (hint: you don't choose it — the market does), and how to use it to drive more traffic, increase conversions, and sell the rest of your product line way easier.f you're trying to grow a clothing brand in 2025, improve your marketing, or finally get consistent sales — this is something you need to understand.

In this episode of Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I'm joined by Willow Weston, whose brand-new book Collide: Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt released today, March 10. Willow shares her powerful story of how God met her in the middle of deep pain and completely transformed her life.Growing up in a difficult environment with an alcoholic parent, Willow carried years of unspoken hurt and brokenness. By the time she reached college, the weight of those secrets had become overwhelming. But God had a different plan for her life—one that began with a “crazy Christian lady” named Cindy who simply invited Willow into her home, listened to her story, and introduced her to Jesus.Through that relationship, Willow began asking deeper questions about faith, purpose, and healing. At 21 years old, she surrendered her life to Christ, and everything changed.In this conversation, Willow shares how her personal healing journey led to the creation of Collide Ministries, which now serves thousands of women each year.Together we talk about: • Why avoiding pain actually causes more pain • The difference between asking God for healing and participating in healing • How unresolved hurt can impact our relationships, families, and even our physical health • The importance of safe community and letting others carry our burdens • Why you don't have to have everything figured out before God can use your storyWillow reminds us of a powerful truth:Jesus never avoided pain—He ran straight toward it.And if you've been avoiding your own wounds, today might be the day God is inviting you to step toward healing.If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, this episode is for you.Your healing matters.And you are worthy of it today.Bio:Willow Weston is an author, a speaker, a podcast host, and the founder of Collide, a ministry impacting women nationwide. With decades of experience, Willow brings passion and truth, sharing her own journey of pain to inspire others to invite Jesus into their brokenness so they, too, can experience healing. Willow leads conferences that empower, heal, and transform women. She has authored several Bible studies, including The Birds and the Lilies; Personal and Powerful; Go Ahead; Yes, You; and Collide and Converse.Willow loves telling stories and inviting others to share theirs. She's a spelling bee champ but loses miserably in Trivial Pursuit. She can throw a mean dinner party but is a criminal at the local library. She has a hippie name and once lived on a school bus as a kid. Willow frequents coffee shops more than she'd like to admit and sits across from hurting people in the hope that they will find help for their pain. She uses china on Wednesdays and loves making the ordinary feel extraordinary. Willow battles insecurity and old wounds every day, just like you probably do too.She collided with Jesus in college, and He became her direction, her healer, her hope, and her rescuer. Jesus met her in her brokenness and has used her there too. She's been married for more than 30 years and has two kids who teach her more about God and life than she could ever teach them. Willow is as real as you get, obsessed with hosting parties, coffee, the beach, and a good, good story.Anchor Verse:Deuteronomy 30:3Connect with Willow:Website: https://www.willowweston.comMinistry Website: https://wecollide.netIG: https://www.instagram.com/willowanneweston***We love hearing from you!

Recorded live in the Narvar Podcast Studio at NRF Big Show, Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc sit down with Dan Frommer, the iconic tech journalist and Founder of The New Consumer, to explore the forces reshaping retail and consumer behavior. Frommer challenges the prevailing “vibecession” narrative, arguing that despite low consumer sentiment readings, spending remains resilient. Drawing on proprietary survey data from 3,000 U.S. consumers, he outlines a nuanced picture: younger consumers are increasingly digital-first, deeply connected to creator culture, and entering their peak earning and spending years. Millennials show the highest trust in AI, while Gen Z is more skeptical about automation's impact on work and identity. GLP-1 medications are seen as a game changer, driving shifts in spending. Health and longevity also take center stage, with more than 40% of Gen Z and Millennials in “health optimization mode.” Frommer highlights TikTok Shop's explosive rise as creator-led commerce flips marketing economics. In the news segment the hosts discussion how the Supreme Court's IEEPA tariff ruling triggers chaos for retail. With up to 70% of tariffs affected, pricing and supply chain uncertainty now dominate. Retailers face refund confusion, volatility, and political storms. Walmart posts strong earnings but signals a slowing trend. Half of its e-commerce orders ship from stores, three-hour delivery reaches most Americans, and retail media surges ahead. Wayfair gains share in a struggling home market, but staying unprofitable raises tough questions. In the “Remarkable Story of the Week” of the week, Aritzia acquires Fred Segal's intellectual property, as plans to resurrect the storied West Coast fashion retailer. On the radar: sneaker wars intensify as New Balance nears $10B in revenue and Nike navigates turnaround pressures at Converse. QVC also is reportedly mulling a Chapter 11 filing.

Sports lifer. Road warrior. Straight shooter. In this no‑holds‑barred conversation, veteran sports marketer, former minor‑league ballplayer, and acclaimed author Bob Wilber opens up about a wildly unconventional career that somehow connects the Detroit Tigers minor-league system, Converse sneaker deals, indoor soccer barns, and nitro Funny Car mayhem. Wilber takes us inside a childhood spent in dugouts and press boxes as the son of longtime Major League catcher, coach, and scout Del Wilber, and a trailblazing mother who broke barriers in the St. Louis Cardinals' front office. From there, we follow him onto college diamonds and through the harsh realities of chasing – and losing – the big‑league dream. The story hardly slows down. Wilber walks through his pivot into sports marketing and front‑office life, selling corporate America on emerging properties and trying to keep the MISL's St. Louis Storm, NPSL's Kansas City Attack, and CISL's Indianapolis Twisters alive in the boom‑and‑bust world of indoor soccer. Then he details his second (third?) act in motorsports, running NHRA Funny Car teams and becoming one of drag racing's most distinctive PR voices and storytellers. Along the way, Wilber talks candidly about burnout, constant travel, reinvention, and why he finally stepped away to write his autobiographical "Bats, Balls, & Burnouts: A Life of Sports, Marketing, and Mayhem". If you care about the business behind the games – the hustle, the politics, the strain on real life – this conversation is a masterclass in how sports really work once the lights go off and the fans go home! + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK:  "Bats, Balls, & Burnouts: A Life of Sports, Marketing, and Mayhem": https://amzn.to/3Myak3F SPONSOR THANKS: Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

Episode 413 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Scott Savitz, Founder and Managing Partner of Data Point Capital and Founder & former CEO of Shoebuy.com which is now known as Shoes.com. In my opinion, Boston doesn't give itself enough credit, especially when it comes to consumer brands. It's the home to consumer icons like Bose, SharkNinja, Dunkin, TJX, and many more. But if you look at the footwear category, it is a powerhouse with leading brands like New Balance, Converse, Sperry, Keds, Rockport and next generation companies like NoBull, Oofos, and BRUNT. So, maybe it comes as no surprise that one of the first companies to sell footwear online was headquartered in Boston and yes, that is Shoebuy. This was back in 1999, when buying shoes online wasn't a thing and even Zappos was just getting started. Thus, I was excited to break down this major eCommerce success story that completely disrupted an industry on so many different levels. Today, Scott is a Venture Capitalist and his firm, Data Point Capital, invests in revenue-stage technology companies across both B2B and B2C categories. The firm's portfolio includes DraftKings, Rent The Runway, Resident, Black Kite, Jebbit, and others. In this interview, we cover: * Scott's background story and early professional experience in the mortgage and banking industry. * What it was like building a company in the early days of eCommerce and ignoring the naysayers. * How Shoebuy won over the brands and the details about their - at the time - innovative virtual inventory model. * Strategies around customer acquisition combined with a focus on capital efficiency to scale the business. * The story of the acquisition to IAC. * What led Scott down the path of starting Data Point Capital and what they are targeting for investments. * And more

Double Hit - Managing the time continuum is risky business.Chris Morton's stories have been described as being in the genres of slacker lit, sci-fi lit, sci-fi psyche, magical realism, and avant-garde. He is the author of three novels, six novellas, and over thirty short stories. An English teacher for twenty years, Morton is also the author of the teaching guide: 'TEFL Flashcard Games for Young Learners.'Our wonderful Untold Tales Author Shamaan Casey was raised in Converse, TX. Growing up, he always watched a lot of animation, which gave him a deep appreciation for voice acting, which only grew as the years went on. Even from a young age, he had a voice that commanded the attention of others. Though not an attention seeker, he always noticed how heads would turn when he spoke, and he was often compared to James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman, even in middle school. When he chose to pursue a career in culinary arts and work as a food salesman, everyday people would tell him that I should be in radio. With years of public speaking experience thanks to his religious ministry, he finally yielded to all of the advice he had received over the years and finally embraced getting into the world of voice-over by making audiobooks. Now, he combines my vocal talents with his love of reading to help bring stories to life. When he's not reading, he's cooking, baking, or gaming. Whatever he's doing, he's got a story to tell.
