Karol Markowicz sits down with Zachary Kussin, real estate editor at the New York Post, for a wide-ranging conversation about journalism, New York City real estate, personal style, resilience, and the value of embracing who you really are. Kussin shares the unlikely story of how a Craigslist job posting helped launch his journalism career, eventually leading him from The Real Deal to the New York Post. He explains what makes real estate reporting such a unique beat and how years of hard work, unexpected opportunities, and a little luck shaped his career. The conversation also turns personal as Kussin recounts losing nearly everything when a seven-alarm fire tore through his New York City apartment building. The experience gave him an opportunity to rebuild—not just his home, but a space that genuinely reflected his personality, travels, and lifelong love of antiques, vintage jewelry, fashion, and design. Karol and Zachary discuss growing more confident with age, finding your people, developing meaningful relationships, pursuing unconventional passions, and refusing to change yourself simply to fit other people's expectations. Kussin also shares his philosophy for living a happier life: embrace adventure, pursue what genuinely interests you, take chances even when you don't know the outcome, and have the confidence to be yourself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How can architects move away from billable hours, trade traditional fees for equity, and step into the role of initiators rather than waiting for client calls?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, host Evelyn Lee speaks with Lisa Sauve, co-founder of Synecdoche, a design-make practice based in Detroit. Lisa's entrance into practice bypassed traditional firm hierarchies entirely. Her firm's first project came off Craigslist before she finished undergrad, a 110-square-foot office interior for $1,500 that she skipped graduation to build, which ultimately won Architizer and Inc. Magazine's World's Coolest Offices in 2009.As a 22-year-old single mother balancing parenthood and education, Lisa built her business out of necessity. The flexibility of working asynchronously on small projects was the only path forward that allowed her to parent while earning three degrees. For eight years, Synecdoche operated in partnership with architects of record who stamped their drawings. Lisa intentionally delayed licensure to serve as a model for alternative practice, sitting for exams only when defending her model to traditional peers became a distraction from the work itself.The conversation explores how Synecdoche operates without billing time or tracking billable hours. Instead, Lisa focuses on outcome-driven, value-based compensation, taking equity in client ventures, receiving distributions, and structuring creative deals like exchanging formal rent credits for tenant sweat equity during building renovations. She also breaks down her approach to client intake, including asking the fundamental question that most architects overlook: "How did you arrive at that budget?""We don't track time. We've never billed time. Because the client doesn't care about how much time I spend on things, they care about if they're getting the outcome." - Lisa SauveThis episode offers a fresh perspective on firm ownership, risk, and value creation. By challenging the profession's reliance on time-based billing and rigid operational norms, Lisa demonstrates how architects can expand their agency, align with client goals, and build resilient, multi-stream business models. Guests:Lisa Sauve is the co-founder and CEO of Synecdoche, a Detroit-based architecture and design-make studio working across commercial design, development feasibility, branding, and fabrication. Balancing practice and academia, she serves as an educator and advocate for alternative licensure pathways, code reform, and non-traditional business models in AEC. This episode is especially for you if:✅ You want to learn how to transition away from billable hours toward value-based pricing and equity-driven compensation models.✅ You are curious about non-traditional career paths, alternative pathways to firm ownership, and navigating practice as a parent.✅ You want to understand how to structure creative real estate deals, tenant sweat equity, and passive income streams for your practice.✅ You are interested in how asking deeper financial questions during client onboarding can align design solutions with business metrics.✅ You believe architects should act as proactive initiators and instigators rather than passive service providers.What have you done to take action lately?

This week on The Lonely Stoner, TJ sits down with one of his biggest lifelong influences: his Uncle Curt (aka DurtiCurti, the mastermind behind DurtiBeats). From sneaking into his room to play video games to taking 16-hour road trips to Michigan, DurtiCurti helped shape TJ's taste in music, gaming, and life. This session is a raw dive into the generational shift between the '80s and '90s and today's "fast food" culture. We look back at the chaotic, uncontrolled days of the early internet—reminiscing over the unscripted freedom of MySpace and the absolute lawlessness of Craigslist—and discuss how the modern era has created a toxic "main character syndrome". We also take a massive trip down stoner memory lane, tracking the evolution of dry herb vaping from the days of the Magic Flight Launch Box and the OG Pax to the premium, "buy once, cry once" quality of Storz & Bickel. So whether you Pack a bowl, grab your coffee, starting your workout, getting through your shift, or stuck in traffic. Thank you for listening and letting us cloud your mind.

Bobby gives us an update from the trenches of parenthood after a rough night at home. His baby is teething and we debate whether you should ever “blink” when you’re this tired. We talked about a time Amy went over to a guy's house to buy something off of Craigslist. We advise Amy to STOP having strangers off the internet come to her house. Bobby brings in what could be great news for Amy. A man found a Texas A&M ring on a beach. Could it be hers that's been missing for years?!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What started with a Craigslist ad and a love of food turned into one of Arizona's most recognizable independent burger spots.In Episode 224 of On The Delo, Delo sits down with Bret Shapiro, Chef/Owner of Paradise Valley Burger Company, to talk about 15+ years of PV Burger, the realities of restaurant ownership, and why Bret has never been interested in following the traditional growth playbook.Bret shares the story behind taking over the original restaurant, building a loyal crew and customer base, and eventually moving PV Burger from its longtime 40th Street and Bell Road location to Scottsdale. They get into staying independent, using his own capital to grow, keeping restaurant footprints small, navigating rising costs, and the advice Bret has followed from the beginning: if something has to change, raise the price before you lower the quality.Of course, they talk burgers too—from the story behind the Burger Brulee and Paradise Burger to the TV appearances that put PV Burger in front of a national audience, including Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Man v. Food, Guy's Grocery Games, and Check, Please!

This week on The Tone Mob, Blake sits down with Frank Gross, founder of Thunder Road Guitars Seattle, for a conversation about music, retail, risk, reinvention, and the strange magic of simply refusing to disappear. Frank tells the story of leaving the band life behind, moving back to Seattle, and slowly turning Craigslist flips, pawn shop finds, and a tiny workspace into one of the most respected guitar shops on the West Coast.

The Craigslist Killer, the 2011 Lifetime film based on the true story of Philip Markoff, a Boston University medical student whose seemingly perfect life concealed a shocking double life. On the surface, Markoff appeared to have everything going for him, a promising medical career, a loving fiancée, and a bright future. But behind closed doors, investigators uncovered a series of violent crimes connected to women he contacted through Craigslist's "erotic services" ads.

This episode first aired on November 2, 2017. In February 2016, 19-year-old Morgan Bauer left Aberdeen, South Dakota, with plans to begin a new life in Atlanta. She'd arranged to stay with people she met on Craigslist, but within weeks of arriving, Morgan stopped contacting her friends and family and vanished without a trace. Her case was soon overshadowed by damaging internet rumors that called her disappearance into question and diverted attention from the people last known to have been with her. Nearly six years after our original episode aired, investigators recovered Morgan's remains in Porterdale, Georgia, and arrested the same couple discussed in our 2017 coverage. One has since pleaded guilty to her murder, while the other remains accused. Stay with us after the replay for an update on the major developments that finally revealed what happened to Morgan.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Old Caz Beer co-founder Bryan Rengel is our guest with Herlinda Heras and Daedalus Howell on the Brew Ha Ha today. He has been on Brew Ha Ha before, most recently this episode in January of 2024. Bryan explains that Old Caz was founded on what he calls the Free Craigslist Model of business development. They were able to build the whole brewery from equipment and furnishings that they got for free on Craigslist. They fixed all their own office furniture, and the whole taproom with a walk-in fridge, and more. It’s an ethos that he has never stopped applying to the business. The Old Caz Cavalcade When they opened their location in Somo Village, they conducted a trek to the new place that attracted 300 people for a 3.5 mile walk. Now for the new Petaluma location, they are organizing the Old Caz Cavalcade. This time walkers will leave on the trail then take the train down. Or, bicyclists will have a route that leads to the Smart Train Bike Path, which itself leads right to the Old Caz Backyard. You have a choice of routes. +++{Russian River Brewing}+++Visit Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Check out their website and socials for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more.+++{Russian River Brewing}+++ The bike route is almost totally flat. Old Cazadero Road is the origin of the Old Caz Beer name. That was their favorite difficult ride among all the local hills. +++{ProChiller Green}+++Visit our sponsor Pro Chiller online for all the info about their new CO2-based Pro Green Solutions.+++{ProChiller Green}+++ Bryan is the father of two young boys and a lot of other people at the brewery have young families. So it was important for them to make the location family friendly with an area that is safe for children.

There's a new drama on Binge that's already got everyone talking, and the cast list alone is worth the watch — Jennifer Garner, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, Judy Greer, Timothy Olyphant and a scene-stealing Chloë Sevigny. Based on a beloved bestseller, it follows a grieving food blogger who gathers a friend from every era of her life for one weekend on the island. And we can't stop thinking about the Netflix true crime doc that's genuinely one of the best we've seen. It opens with an idyllic Californian couple, some terrifying anonymous emails and a Craigslist twist too disturbing to spoil — then keeps flipping. Conflicting accounts, lying witnesses, evidence that changes everything: you won't know what to think until the very end.Plus a soapy, sexy small-town Texas romance is back on Netflix for season two — basically Yellowstone's fun cousin, led by two faces you've loved for years.

Ever wondered what happens when you cross the digital gig economy with pure, unadulterated madness? This week, we're bypassing the wholesome handmade crafts on Etsy to dive into a wild subculture of online spellcasting—where you can Apple Pay your way into obsession love spells, graveyard hexes, or a proxy contract to sell your soul to Lucifer. But it doesn't stop there. We're also exploring the darkest and dumbest corners of Craigslist, Fiverr, and eBay, from professional breakup proxies and fake paparazzi for hire to bound demon entity listings and haunted dolls with warnings attached. Buckle up, because it gets weird fast.SPONSORS:EarnIn: Money shouldn't be a mystery, but getting your paycheck when you actually need it sure helps.

Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—episodes I return to when I'm stuck. When a pattern I've been conditioned to see suddenly needs to be broken, I go back to the people who help me think differently. This one with Ben Uyeda is near the top of that list. Ben is a designer, entrepreneur, and creative force of nature who left a successful architecture firm and an Ivy League teaching gig to bring high-design ideas to the masses through media. His designs—widely shared, often free—have reached tens of millions of people and are being built around the world. And his most recent project? A 65-room hotel on 180 acres in the California desert, adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park, built with a team but rooted in the same hands-on curiosity that started with a concrete vase on YouTube. When this episode first aired, I called it one of the most shocking conversations of the year—not because Ben tried to shock anyone, but because I didn't expect it to blow me away. It did. It still does. His superpower is orthogonal thinking. Where most of us see the world through the patterns we've been trained into, Ben keeps asking the next question—about scale, purpose, risk, money, mastery, and what creatives actually want when they say they want "more." This conversation changed how I think about career growth. I think it can change yours too. "Forget scaling. What I think is really intriguing is this idea of escalation." — Ben Uyeda Summer School: Ben Uyeda on Escalation, Purpose, and Building Bigger Without Losing Yourself Ask Ben how he describes what he does, and he keeps it almost stubbornly simple: he designs things and he makes them. Those things range from a small concrete vase to a dining table to homes—and all the way up to Reset Hotel: 65 rooms on 180 acres near Joshua Tree. The leap sounds impossible until you understand his model. Most creatives, Ben argues, get trapped in a false choice. Either you're the solo maker—writing the book, building the table, running the photo shoot—or you're the manager of something massive, taking in everyone's opinions and slowly losing contact with the craft. He thinks the more interesting path sits between them: escalate. Scaling is repeating one thing at higher volume for better margins. Escalation is using each project as practice for a bigger adventure—vase to furniture to staircase to house to hotel—with new skills, collaborators, and risk at every step. There is no clean line from designing a vase to building a hotel. But there are incremental steps. In Ben's case, roughly five years from vase to house. Another five from house to hotel. Each jump maybe 50x to 100x in scale. The next project isn't the destination. It's skill-building—and an opportunity to meet the people you'll need when the economic risk gets larger. That distinction is the heart of this episode. And if you've ever chased "scale" when what you really wanted was growth, challenge, grit, relationships, and a life that still feels like yours, this one will hit hard. What You'll Hear in This Episode How Ben describes his work—from concrete vases to a desert hotel, and why he focuses on the doing Why small creative projects feel like Zen practice—and why bigger ones require learning to pass the ball The tension every creator knows: curiosity and economic safety often feel like they're pulling in opposite directions Scaling vs. escalating—and why most creatives think they want scale when they actually want challenge, skill, and connection The paperclip-to-house Craigslist story as a model for adventurous creative careers Why nature is becoming a luxury good—and how that thesis shaped Reset Hotel Ben's multi-year process for building a point of view: observations, post-its, journaling, and knowing when you're secure enough to ask bigger questions How to borrow pattern recognition from outside your field (Ben's favorite: food) What AI changes—and what it doesn't: reputation, responsibility, and embracing creative fear instead of waiting until you feel safe The story of Reset Hotel, Industry Night for creatives, and why physical immersion may be the next horizon Scale vs. Escalate This is the idea I keep coming back to—and the one that originally made this episode unforgettable. Typical entrepreneurial advice says: find a minimum viable product, then scale. For creatives, Ben says, that model often fails. Scaling optimizes for volume, repetition, and efficiency. Escalation optimizes for adventure: trade the paperclip for the lighter, the lighter for something bigger, and keep going—not by doing the same trade forever, but by graduating the game. Chase's own lived experience lines up with Ben's: escalation built the best things in his life—relationships, skills, grit, humanity. Scaling often decoupled him from those same things. That's the trap. People hear "economic upside" and chase repetition. What many of them actually want is escalating challenge—backstory, resources, personal development, network, connection—the exact texture of a project like building a hotel with your hands, your partners, and your reputation on the line. Ben didn't know this as sage wisdom going in. He learned it. Early ambition and big swings "worked," but felt like speedrunning a video game—fast completion with a strange emptiness afterward. Over time he learned something more useful about himself: his long-range visionary chess game is limited, but his commitment and belief once he chooses a path are incredibly strong. That self-knowledge became the architecture for taking on Reset. Nature as Luxury—and How a Hotel Got Built from a Thesis Ben's confidence in the hotel didn't come from a weekend of inspiration. It came from years of noticing. One signal: between roughly 2013 and 2016, monthly active users on Instagram and visits to national parks both exploded. The attention economy was booming—and simultaneously creating unprecedented demand for its opposite: walking through Yosemite or Joshua Tree, somewhere with little or no cell service. His larger thesis: as digital consumption becomes frictionless, we start craving the analog. The more algorithmically efficient our feeds get, the more we want to throw the phone aside, touch grass, hike, watch a real sunset. Because digital experiences got so good at being artificial, nature itself starts to feel like a scarce luxury—not just a pretty view from a coastal city, but immersive emptiness, dark skies, raw land. That thesis, plus an audience built by sharing design ideas, plus collaborators from craftspeople to investors, plus a shipping-container house project that opened new conversations—those pieces compounded into Reset. Ben is blunt that this kind of vision doesn't arrive as effortless brilliance. It's multi-year. Curious. Plodding. Built from obvious observations written on post-it notes until they start to arrange themselves into a next move. His practical advice for creatives trying to think at that altitude: Don't pour all your curiosity into tools and tactics alone. Also ask the scarier questions: What's my place in this discipline? What's my place in the broader economy? Earn enough security to think. For Ben, around $100k of income was the point where economic stress dropped enough for bigger questions to enter the process—not as luxury branding, but as creative fuel. Look outside your industry. Food is his favorite lens because he has emotional distance plus deep daily connection. Farm-to-table, farmers markets becoming aspirational, celebrities posting chickens instead of Bugattis—he's watching a backlash against efficiency and mass production. Then he asks: what's the design-and-craft version of that for me? Talk it out with peers. The work is often solo. The therapy and pattern recognition are better in community—ideally in person, without a competitive chip on your shoulder.

The creator economy still rewards the idea that the goal is to make one thing and multiply it forever. Platforms still optimize for volume. AI is accelerating that pressure—making certain end products cheaper and more abundant, and making a lot of talented people scared. Ben's counsel isn't "don't worry." It's the opposite. Be scared. Talk to friends. Diversify your thinking. Double down on reputation and responsibility—being the person clients call because you fix problems, even when the brief is imperfect. Accept that fear doesn't vanish when you "make it." Often it gets worse, because you feel like you have more to lose. And that's the trap: postponing the wild, scary, purpose-shaped adventure until you feel safe. Safety delayed often becomes safety that never lets you move. Meanwhile, the deeper trend he named—digital ubiquity creating hunger for physical, immersive, scarce experiences—keeps compounding. Reset Hotel is that thesis made concrete. Industry Night—his informal peer-to-peer gathering for creatives—is another version of the same idea: horizontal connection in a culture that keeps selling top-down scale. Whether you escalate toward something as large as a hotel or simply toward a braver version of your next project, the question remains the same: are you chasing repetition, or are you chasing a life? Keep Going Deeper If this conversation resonates: Reset Hotel: stayreset.com · @reset.hotel Ben online: benuyeda.com · Instagram · HomeMade Modern on YouTube Earlier conversation: Escalate & Evolve: A Blueprint for Career and Life with Ben Uyeda Follow Ben: Instagram | Website | YouTube Questions to Reflect On Am I optimizing for scale (repeat one thing) or escalation (grow into bigger adventures)? What would my "next size up" project be—not 100x overnight, but one honest step beyond what I've already made? Where am I chasing economic certainty in a way that quietly starves my curiosity? What obvious cultural observation have I been noticing—and what would it mean if I took it seriously for my own work? Am I pouring all my curiosity into tools and tactics while avoiding the harder questions about my place in the economy? Where am I postponing a meaningful risk until I "feel safe"—and what might that delay really cost? In an age of AI and infinite digital content, what physical, scarce, or immersive experience could only come from me? The Core Idea Most creatives don't actually want to become a machine that repeats the same win forever. They want a life that escalates: bigger challenges, deeper skills, richer relationships, and work that still feels like craft even when the coordination gets complex. Ben's path—from free design ideas online to a modernist hotel on the edge of Joshua Tree—isn't a prescription to go build hospitality. It's a reminder that purpose compounds through projects. Each one prepares you for the next. Each one brings in the people you'll need later. And the goal isn't to arrive as fast as possible. It's to grow into someone who can hold more risk without abandoning who they are. If there's one lesson worth carrying forward from this Summer School session, it's this: Don't confuse scaling with growing. The creative life you're probably hungry for is escalation—one braver project at a time.

What's on Craigslist 7-20-2026 …Toddler Drum Set Free (for my own worst enemy) …For Sale: Slightly Chewed-Up Comfortable Couch …Please for the Love of God! Take My Elliptical …Looking to hire someone to wait in line Pokémon Cards

In Part 2, we begin with Todd and me rapping about how much digital technology has changed just in our lifetimes. Even when he was in school in Colorado, San Francisco had been a goal for Todd, a destination. He got his impression of The City from skateboarding magazines and TV shows. But before moving here, Todd went to Europe, as he puts it, "chasing a girl." He even tried living overseas. When that didn't work out, he moved back to Grand Rapids to save money. In 2001, he made the big move west. When Todd arrived, he had a job already lined up for him. He just needed to find a place to live. He'd respond to Craigslist ads for apartments, but when he showed up to look at one of them, a roommate situation, it had turned into a party. He got the place, his first San Francisco apartment, at Waller and Masonic. Todd takes a moment to reminisce about living in that area, which he's continued to do in the many years since he moved to San Francisco. His walk down memory lane leads us to the Lower Haight. Todd met a lot of cool people at that first SF job, a dotcom, naturally. One of those coworkers had a separate office space in the Lower Haight that served as an auxiliary pressing plant for a record-pressing company based in the Czech Republic. That coworker was bailing on their job and handed the space and the gig over to Todd. It put him face-to-face with musicians in need of vinyl to be pressed. He handled album art as well. His worlds of art and music were colliding in meaningful ways. He quit his dotcom job to do this new gig full-time under the name Circuit 73. More on that later. In addition to the record-pressing gig, Todd was doing flyer art for a friend's monthly zine as well as other various flyer work. He also did album artwork. Two friends who were new at the time were looking for a space to open a music gear store. They ended up in the same space in the Lower Haight where Todd based himself. Todd's graphic design work really started to take off around this time, the early 2000s. He'd only been in San Francisco a couple of years, but Todd felt like he was where he needed to be. I ask Todd whether, all those years ago, he had a plan for how long he would try his new city out. He says he didn't, but back then, he felt like he wouldn't be here the rest of his life. And yet, more than 20 years later, here we are. Then we turn to one of Todd's alter egos/pseudonyms/whatever you wanna call its—Ink Letterman. That persona was born when Todd got his first Instagram account, around 2014 or so. He wanted an alias, and landed on that. It took off around 2020, when he started doing mural work in the early days of the pandemic. Rewinding a bit, Todd started DJing under the name Circuit 73 (another alias) around 2005 or so. He eventually took a lot of time off from music, though. His growing collection of physical media started to make him anxious, so he stopped buying records. He also started a family in this time. Eventually, digital music platforms more or less solidified, so that helped. He also started listening to KUSF/90.3 FM. Being in an office, sitting in front of a computer, it all led to burnout as well. His son was born in 2015 and he semi-retired from graphic design to focus on being a parent and leaning in more to his art (and away from design). Todd's art is part of a group show curated by Known SF and 415 Zine that's up now through August 24 at Mini Bar. Eventually, DJing came back into Todd's life. He's quick to give credit to KEXP/92.7 FM for roping him back in. Another source of inspiration is his son, Oscar. He loves music as much as his dad does, and the two listen together quite a lot. Todd points to both the quantity and the quality of new music in the recent past. He's excited about a surge in old music being reissued as well. He's got a monthly gig, last Friday of every month, as DJ Circuit 73 at 540 Bar on Clement. And his radio show, Directions in Stereo, is on KXSF/102.5 FM every Monday from 10 p.m. to midnight. We end the episode with Todd plugging himself. Follow him on Instagram @inkletterman. Find him on Soundcloud @circuit73. Photography by Dan Hernandez

Take the free quiz to find out why you're stuck in a sex rut: https://TheBetterBedroom.comWhat does it actually take to feel dominant in the bedroom, and why do so many of us freeze up when it's our turn to lead? In this episode, Heather sits down with Amanda Dames, a kink consultant and former professional dominatrix, to break down the real skills behind dominance, submission, and power dynamics in a relationship.Amanda spent two years working at a dungeon while holding down a corporate job at the Wall Street Journal, and she brings that hands-on experience into a real conversation about how dominant and submissive roles actually work, how to figure out your own authentic style, and how to vet a partner for safety before you ever get started. They cover the different types of Doms (Master, Traditional Dom, Caretaker Dom, and Pleasure Dom), the different types of submissives (service subs, slaves, baby girls and boys), the red flags that signal an unhealthy power dynamic, and why most of what we see about kink and BDSM in movies sets totally unrealistic expectations.If you're ready to go deeper than a podcast episode, visit https://HeatherShannon.co to request a free consultation and learn about Heather's signature Pathway to Passion coaching program.Timestamps: 0:00 Amanda's path from marine biology to the Wall Street Journal to a Craigslist dominatrix job 4:30 Discovering a more powerful, dominant version of herself 8:00 What a Dom's real job actually is, and how to avoid burnout 17:00 Why you need to talk to your partner before you talk divorce 19:30 How a real negotiation between a Dom and a client actually works 26:30 Why being patient with yourself matters more than getting it right the first time 30:00 The four types of Dominants, explained 36:20 The submissive types, and how to find your own style 37:50 How to vet a Dom (or any partner) for safety 45:00 Why movies like Secretary and Baby Girl are not how-to videos 51:00 Amanda's free worksheet for talking about your desires with confidenceTake the free quiz: https://TheBetterBedroom.comLearn more about Heather's Pathway to Passion coaching: https://HeatherShannon.coGet Amanda's free worksheet, Speaking Your Desires With Confidence: https://AmandaDames.comThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes writer, podcaster, and comedian Courtney Kocak, who grew up in small-town Minnesota and now splits time between Austin and Los Angeles, to discuss her debut memoir, Girl Gone Wild. Courtney traces her musical influences from classic rock radio and movie soundtracks to college-era rap, indie, and classic rock, and shares how reading and acting shaped her love of storytelling. She recounts joining the Girls Gone Wild tour via a Craigslist ad, realizing the behind-the-scenes coercion and exploitation, and leaving after seven weeks amid depression and financial stress. The conversation follows her pivot from acting to writing, essaying, and podcasting, including her long-running show Private Parts Unknown, plus The Bleeders and Podcast Bestie, and touches on Stevie Nicks, Lilith Fair, stand-up goals, and the “Thunder Road” question of whether Mary gets in the car. https://www.courtneykocak.com/ 01:28 Meet Courtney Kocak 03:38 Growing Up With Music 07:10 College Tastes And Mixes 09:36 Books And Acting Bug 12:17 Acting School And Regrets 16:00 Girls Gone Wild Origins 19:20 Behind The Scenes Reality 20:52 Leaving The Tour 23:41 Finding Meaning Afterward 25:49 Funny Book Chapters 27:01 Leaving Acting for Writing 31:02 Finding Her Voice 31:43 Stevie Nicks Obsession 33:47 Private Parts Unknown 39:39 Creative Bucket List 40:50 Stand-Up and Perspective 44:41 Thunder Road Mary Debate 47:31 Where to Find Courtney 49:05 Final Sign-Off and Blessing Learn more about your ad choices.

Tune in as the team discusses: Why land is still selling in 2026, but buyers expect better marketing Which platforms work best for inexpensive land versus higher-priced parcels How to use Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Landmodo, LandFlip, Land and Farm, and neighbor outreach Why your buyers list should be focused by region and property type How fast follow-up and phone conversations improve conversion rates Why “systems equal freedom” when scaling land sales How headlines, pricing, copy, photos, and storytelling can revive stale listings Why flaws like flood zones, slopes, or rough terrain can become part of the sales story How TikTok and short-form video are producing real land sales Why most sales still happen on terms rather than cash TIP OF THE WEEK Mark Podolsky: Build a true marketing system, not just a few random ads. Track where your leads come from, follow up consistently, and invest more in the platforms producing results.Scott Bossman: Do not overlook neighbors, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or your buyers list. The cheapest lead is often already connected to the area where your parcel sits.Mike Zaino: Price land so it feels attractive, affordable, and easy to say yes to. Scale wins when your systems help you repeat mailing, marketing, and follow-up consistently.Jon Burnett: Use story-driven marketing and strong visuals to make each property feel compelling.

Craig Newmark turned down an $11 billion offer for Craigslist, and he's already given away $570 million of his own money chasing a number even bigger than that.This podcast is made by Hampton, a community for founders doing on average $25 million a year in revenue. We saw a lot of these money conversations happening privately behind closed doors and we thought, "What the heck, let's make it public." If you're a founder, apply here: joinhampton.com/mwCraig founded Craigslist off a mailing list in 1995. He turned down that $11 billion offer, and since then has given away $570 million through his foundation, aiming for a billion before he dies. He funds NYPD bomb squad gear, an NYU cardiologist's AI research, Wikipedia, journalism schools, and pigeon rescue. He's 73, hasn't owned a car in ten years, and just upgraded from $50 Skechers to $80 Skechers.This one gets into what happens once a founder's number stops being the problem, the Sunday school lesson behind his moral compass, why his own headline net worth is wrong, the two causes eating most of his giving budget, and his plan to train an LLM to keep making his philanthropic decisions after he's gone. It closes on Take Nine, his campaign for the nine-second pause that stops most scams.Sponsors: Daily Body Coach - achieve your dream body with https://moneywise.dailybodycoach.comSubscribe to Moneywise: https://www.youtube.com/@themoneywisepodcastFollow Daniel on X: https://x.com/danielcberkListen on Spotify / Apple Podcasts: [search "Moneywise Hampton"]

Long shots don't always pan out the way you hoped. Sometimes they catch fire. Sometimes they mug you. Shauna McGarry, a TV writer who can't shake her mother's thrift-store instincts, talks herself into a $2,500 used hot tub from a shady Craigslist dealer named Dan. Things don't turn out so great. David Crabb waitered through the days after 9/11 at one of the only open restaurants in lower Manhattan, listening to strangers unburden themselves over candlelight. By the end of the week he'd saved $900 for a U-Haul, and on the walk home from his last shift, drunk and carrying a magnum of wine, he felt an arm clamp around his neck and something jab into his ribs.
