Adam Skolnick earned his writing chops as a travel and adventure sports journalist for the New York Times, ESPN, the BBC and Lonely Planet. It taught him the vital skills of getting the words out immediately, and writing fast. He was the ghostwriter for David Goggins' memoirs 'Can't Hurt Me' and 'Never Finished'. Also published 'One Breath', about the world of free-diving, which was turned into a Netflix documentary, and 'Forever Swim', about open-water swimming legend Antonio Arguelles. Adam also appears in Rich Roll's fantastic podcast, discussing health and wellbeing. His new novel is 'American Tiger', about Bell Tern who, when on the school bus, sports a tiger roaming around the streets of suburban Los Angeles. It's rooted in the stunning southern Californian landscape and stacked with vivid characters. We discusses his attempts to 'de-sacredise' his space and day, also the different passes he does for each individual character, and what an idea needs to be to get him excited. You can hear about his new cue-card process, how the idea came during a free-diving competition, and how he deals with the fine line between creative burnout and being productive.This episode is sponsored by Ulysses.

In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric react to a call from The Ramsey Show with George Kamel and John Delony, where a 26-year-old caller wrestles with whether to wipe out his $20,000 savings to pay off credit card and truck debt. Using that scenario as a springboard, they dig into the psychology of safety, why cash in the bank feels like a “warm blanket,” and how to make smarter decisions about debt payoff and emergencies—without accidentally rebuilding high-interest debt later. The conversation eventually veers into gambling, new casino tech, and the dangerous allure of hooking your bank account up to slot machines and even Uno tables. On this episode we talk about: Why a $1,000 emergency fund often isn't enough in real life, even if it sounds good on paper The tradeoff between aggressively attacking debt versus keeping meaningful cash reserves for job loss or life emergencies How gambling debt, sports betting, and new “bank-connected” casino tech can quietly wreck your finances Why having cash while still in debt can be a psychological trap—and why zero cash can be just as dangerous Creative ways to pay down car loans faster (without draining your savings) like extra jobs, lump-sum payments, and clear payoff rules Top 3 Takeaways Credit card debt should go first: if you have the cash to kill high-interest consumer debt—especially from gambling—do it quickly before it snowballs. Staying liquid matters: draining a $20,000 cushion down to $1,000 just to slightly lower a truck balance can backfire if you lose your job or get hit with real emergencies. Systems beat vibes: set clear rules (e.g., “everything above X in savings goes to the loan each quarter”) so you can both protect your downside and make real progress on debt. Notable Quotes "If you have credit card debt that lasts beyond a 30-day cycle, you're using it wrong." "When you see cash in your account, you think it's yours—but if you're in debt, by definition, it's not; it belongs to your creditors." "Please don't hook your debit card or bank account up to a slot machine—that's how you go from ‘just having fun' to ‘I'm not going home tonight.'" ✖️✖️✖️✖️

An Effortless Morning Meditation with no music  The Abundant Creative State is a 15-minute morning meditation designed to help you begin the day from calm, clarity, and creative flow. Rather than trying to motivate or visualise a better future, this practice gently settles the nervous system and quiets the mental noise that drives effort, pressure, and overthinking. As the mind slows, a more natural state of creativity and abundance becomes available — not through force, but through presence. This meditation is ideal if you want to: Start the day feeling grounded rather than rushed Reduce mental effort and inner pressure Access clearer thinking and creative insight Move into action from calm instead of control There is nothing to fix or achieve here. Simply allow the mind to settle and notice what insights, opportunities and inspiration becomes available when you stop trying. Best listened to in the morning, seated or lying down, before engaging with the day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Me — Paul Sheppard ⭐️ If you feel anxious, stressed, or stuck in your own head, you're not alone — and you're not broken. My work is about helping people step out of constant overthinking and reconnect with a calmer, clearer way of being. Rather than trying to fix the mind, I guide people to notice what exists beyond it — a quieter awareness where clarity, confidence, creativity, and direction naturally emerge. This channel is a space to slow down, see through limiting mental patterns, and begin living and working from a more grounded, present state. No pressure. No forcing. Just a different way of relating to your mind — and yourself.

Wellness can feel complicated, but most of what matters for long, healthy living is surprisingly simple. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with my longtime friend Dr. Ezekiel “Zeke” Emanuel—oncologist, bioethicist, and author of Eat Your Ice Cream—to explore six core principles that support longevity, from food and movement to social connection and purpose. Zeke shares what we're getting wrong about wellness, why community matters more than we think, and how small choices can reshape both our health and our healthcare system. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: • Why simple habits outperform extreme biohacks—and how to build them into daily life • How social connection protects your health as powerfully as diet and exercise • What to eat for longevity without tracking, restricting, or following trends • How movement, strength, and flexibility each support long-term health and function • What actually improves sleep when you can't “try harder” to rest Longevity isn't about obsession. It's about balance, community, and simple choices. The basics still work, and they matter more than ever.

In this episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I'm finally pulling back the curtain on how we insure our own portfolio. For about 12 years, my family and I have insured all of our non-owner-occupied, investment properties through National Real Estate Insurance Group (NREIG), whether it's buy-and-hold rentals, multifamily, or creative subject-to deals.   I'm joined by Seth Markum, Executive VP of Sales at NREIG, with 20+ years in property and casualty insurance and a background in building one of the first national online commercial P&C agencies. We break down landlord insurance vs. homeowners insurance, why rental properties are treated as commercial exposure, and how NREIG structures real estate investor insurance across single-family, multifamily, short-term rentals, mobile homes, land, and creative strategies even if you're using multiple LLCs in multiple states.   Seth also walks you through their monthly reporting program, how one flexible policy can follow a property from occupied to vacant to renovation without gaps in coverage, and how they handle subject-to insurance the right way.   If you've ever wondered how to properly insure your rental properties and real estate investments, this episode will show you exactly what to ask for and how to get a proposal from NREIG.   Key Talking Points of the Episode: 00:00 Introduction 01:11 Who is Seth Markum? 03:19 Landlord vs. homeowner policies (and why homeowners "never works") 04:18 One company vs. multiple niches: why customization matters 05:08 No one-size-fits-all: mix forms, deductibles & locations 06:21 What makes NREIG different from other insurance companies 08:19 Why you don't want "agent Bob on the corner" for creative deals 09:01 Making insurance simple for real estate investors 10:02 Dealing with vacancies and fix and flips with NREIG 11:21 How to get a proposal from NREIG 13:10 The importance of understanding the kind of insurance you have   Quotables   "If you're not getting a customized policy… that may not be the scenario that you want to entertain."    "All phases of occupancy are contemplated on our single policy form."   "If you just want something that's going to be all encompassing, no matter what your strategy is, this is going to be the best solution for you."   Links   NREIG https://nreig.com/ sales@nreig.com   QLS 4.0 - Use coupon code for 50% off https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qls Coupon code: pod   Apprentice Program https://3paydaysapprentice.com Coupon code: Podcast   Masterclass https://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   3 Paydays Books https://3paydaysbooks.com/podcast   Strategy Session https://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   Partners https://smartrealestatecoach.com/podcastresources

This week I had the chance to sit down with two fascinating guests who are at the forefront of bridging the worlds of digital performance marketing and traditional television advertising. Nick Fairbairn, VP of Growth Marketing at Chime, and Andy Schonfeld, CRO at Tatari, walked me through how they've transformed Chime from a pure digital-first, DTC neobank brand built on social and search into a sophisticated advertiser that runs television campaigns with the same performance mindset they apply to Meta and Google. Their partnership has evolved from small linear TV tests six years ago to a comprehensive full-funnel TV strategy that blends brand building with direct response metrics.Nick and Andy shared incredible insights into the evolution of performance TV, from navigating the COVID-era inventory opportunities to understanding why linear TV still matters even as streaming dominates the conversation. They explained how Chime approaches television with a portfolio strategy, balancing premium reach moments like live sports with more targeted direct response placements, and why creative and media planning have become the "new targeting" in a world where precise one-to-one identification remains expensive and imperfect. We also dove into the challenges of measuring TV in a fragmented landscape, the role of AI-driven creative, and whether shoppable TV will actually move the needle or remain a marginal innovation. Key HighlightsHere's a shorter version:

Welcome to another episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. In today's inspiring conversation, I am joined by artist and intuitive Cameron Cohen. Cameron dives into her journey as a Renaissance woman who boldly blends creativity and intuition to help others manifest their dreams through art. Together, we unpack what it means to embrace being bossy, the importance of unapologetically owning your gifts, and practical ways to ground yourself, manifest magic, and stay aligned with your passion even when confronting societal expectations or skepticism.

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Johnny Hilbrant—SoulCycle instructor turned viral sensation, also known as "PE Guy." From his roots riding and teaching at Soul in Chicago and Boston, Johnny talks about his journey from fitness enthusiast to comedic creator, blending his knack for improv and sharp observational humor to lampoon a familiar character . . . the "private equity bro" you inevitably get cornered by at a wedding or some other event. The conversation gets into how Johnny developed his PE Guy persona, why the character resonates so widely (with both chuckling fans and the occasional real-life PE pro who's less amused), and how he manages authenticity even as brand partnerships and cameo requests start rolling in. Along the way, Johnny and Pete also discuss the importance of self-awareness, the ability to laugh at yourself, and the line between satire and selling out. Whether you're in the PE world, the HALO sector (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor), or just love a good roast, this episode is packed with insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and plenty of laughs. On the private equity lifestyle Hilbrant states, "Some of these folks seem to be a little bit . . . haphazard, like a runaway train, because they're among other people who are buying watches and flying privately." Key themes discussed SoulCycle instructor journey and community. Industry changes and business model evolution. Creation and popularity of "PE Guy" character. Satire of private equity culture. Audience feedback and handling criticism. Brand partnerships and authenticity challenges. Creative process behind viral content. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Journey Into SoulCycle & Fitness Industry Johnny shared how he began his SoulCycle journey in Chicago while searching for his next career move. After auditioning with 60 others and being one of only two selected, he trained with Soul before relocating to Boston, where he found both community and success as an instructor. 2. Evolution of SoulCycle Culture: The conversation also touched on the shifts in SoulCycle's energy and market position over the years. Hilbrandt acknowledged changes due to increased competition and tweaks to the business model, but emphasized that the unique, immersive studio experience and community still remain, even if the industry's "buzz" has faded a bit. 3. Viral Creation of "PE Guy": The "PE Guy" character began as a playful exaggeration of a certain type you meet at weddings—someone who talks at you endlessly. He used a filter to bring this persona to life, and after giving the character a private equity job, the videos quickly went viral. He credits the rapid rise to relatable satire and people recognizing the archetype. 4. Reception of Satire—Mostly Positive, Rare Backlash: Most of the audience, even those in private equity, really appreciate Hilbrandt's satire. He's largely received positive feedback, with a few exceptions (such as one in-person encounter with a Bain professional who took it personally.) He noted the importance of self-awareness and being able to laugh at oneself, a skill he thinks can foster humility and potentially even positive changes in the finance industry. 5. Creative Process & Brand Partnerships: Hilbrandt described his creative process as a mix of structured and spontaneous inspiration—sometimes scripting out ideas, other times improvising based on something he sees or hears. The success of "PE Guy" has led to lucrative partnerships, especially with B2B and tech brands, though luxury brands are often hesitant to be self-deprecating. He's committed to maintaining authenticity and resisting "selling out," balancing brand deals with staying true to the character's comedic roots.

An Effortless Morning Meditation The Abundant Creative State is a 15-minute morning meditation designed to help you begin the day from calm, clarity, and creative flow. Rather than trying to motivate or visualise a better future, this practice gently settles the nervous system and quiets the mental noise that drives effort, pressure, and overthinking. As the mind slows, a more natural state of creativity and abundance becomes available — not through force, but through presence. This meditation is ideal if you want to: Start the day feeling grounded rather than rushed Reduce mental effort and inner pressure Access clearer thinking and creative insight Move into action from calm instead of control There is nothing to fix or achieve here. Simply allow the mind to settle and notice what insights, opportunities and inspiration becomes available when you stop trying. Best listened to in the morning, seated or lying down, before engaging with the day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Me — Paul Sheppard ⭐️ If you feel anxious, stressed, or stuck in your own head, you're not alone — and you're not broken.

How a Teen and Her Mom Turned Breathwork Into a Book for Kids. This episode shares the story of how a teen and her mom turned breathwork into a book for kids. Inhale, Exhale, Shoot is a beautifully illustrated children's book born from a mindful mother-daughter collaboration. Co-written by integrative psychiatrist Dr. Holly MacKenna and her 13-year-old daughter, Maeve Graffanini, the book is a gentle guide to teaching kids mindfulness through the language of basketball, breath, and big emotions. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or someone passionate about helping children regulate emotions, this conversation offers a fresh, creative way to connect. It's a powerful reminder that when we pause to breathe, we open the door to presence, empathy, and resilience for children and ourselves. We also explore how creative projects, especially ones shared across generations, can become meaningful tools for healing, growth, and impact. Pearls of Wisdom: Teaching kids to breathe through big feelings is one of the most powerful lifelong gifts we can offer. What looks like anger in children is often something deeper like fear, anxiety, or overwhelm. Mindfulness helps us meet the root emotion. Creative metaphors, like basketball, can make mindfulness more accessible, relatable, and fun for kids. Co-creating a book strengthened Holly and Maeve's relationship and helped them navigate life's significant transitions together. Mindfulness isn't just a solo practice but something we can model, share, and co-create with those we love. Reflection Questions: When a child in your life has a big emotion, how do you usually respond? Could a breath shift the interaction? What projects or practices bring you closer to your children or your inner child? How might you integrate creative mindfulness practices into your family or classroom? Stay for the mindful moment at the end, where you'll be invited to enjoy a few breaths with us.     If you would like to donate a copy of Inhale, Exhale, Shoot to a child who needs it, you can do so this month for just $15 at susanschadtpress.com. Maeve and her school's service club are hand-delivering these books to shelters in New Orleans—mindfulness in action. If you would like to order a copy as a holiday gift, the book is available on Amazon or at susanschadtpress.com.  For those craving a reset and deeper embodiment of these practices, join me for a retreat where mindfulness, rest, and healing come alive in community. Upcoming dates are at www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats. To bring these kinds of mindful, compassionate conversation to your organization, team, or conference, Dr. Mahoney offers keynote talks and workshops on emotional awareness, leadership, and well-being.

In today's episode, host James Cox sits down with Chicago‑born jazz virtuoso Brian Culbertson – a multi‑instrumentalist, composer, producer, and the man behind the acclaimed album “Day Trip.”From Brian's early days tinkering on piano at eight, picking up trombone in the school band, and discovering the magic of a home studio at twelve, to his modern‑day workflow that blends live horns, synth‑laden beats, and the Output Arcade plug‑in that sparked the track “Sandcastles,” the conversation drifts through:The instrument journey: why piano became his songwriting hub, how drums shaped his groove sense, and the challenge of playing piano passages that push his limits.Music theory & learning: a down‑to‑earth take on why theory is “baby steps” and how a good teacher can make it approachable for anyone.Creative influences: everything from Earth, Wind & Fire and Tower of Power to classical, EDM, Mongolian metal (The Hu) and dark hip‑hop—showing how eclectic listening fuels fresh ideas.Production vs. performance: why the studio feels like home, the painstaking process of polishing a record, and the tricks he uses to translate studio vibes to a live stage.The “Day Trip” story: how nine songs were written in just four days with co‑writer Nicholas Cole, and the emotional contrast between rapid bursts of inspiration and years‑long labors of love.Beyond the music: Brian's passion for wine, the creation of his signature blends, the Napa Valley Jazz Getaway he co‑hosts, and the balance of artistry with entrepreneurship.Get ready for a deep dive into a musician's mindset, a handful of quirky anecdotes (no secret studio rituals—just a shower and a good vibe), and plenty of tips for anyone who dreams of turning a musical spark into a polished record.Press play, lean back, and let the conversation remind you why, when words fall short, music always finds a way to speak.

In our heads, I think most of us create this fantasy where everyone gets everything they want to do done, apart from us. So today I want to remind you that you're not alone.

He's developed, overseen, and produced over 1,000 hours of non-fiction programs and specials in nearly every genre, with a particular passion, expertise, and contacts in history, archaeology, and international exploration. He write a series of satirical adventure novels: Prime Time Travelers, Prime Time Pompeii, and, the forthcoming Prime Time Troy. They're all about a time-traveling TV crew uncovering forgotten LGBTQ voices from the past.Petronius (20 C.E. - 66 C.E.) served as a Governor in the Roman Empire and ultimately as Consul, the most powerful position in the Empire. When he left public service, Emperor Nero named him the Arbiter Elegantiae, or master of elegance.

Send us a textWant a marketing plan that survives platform changes, rising CPCs, and slow seasons? We sit down with CMO Matt Tyner to unpack a practical playbook for home service companies that blends brand building with capacity-aware demand generation. From HVAC to roofing, Matt's path reveals why the cheapest leads come from strong brands, how consistent execution compounds, and where most contractors accidentally sabotage their results.We get tactical fast: schedule blocking that protects strategy time, capacity boards that guide spend, and a weekly reporting rhythm that replaces guesswork with clarity. Matt outlines the metrics he tracks—booking rate, set rate, close rate, average ticket, reviews, NPS, and referrals—and explains how a dedicated follow-up team added millions in closed revenue without turning up the pressure. You'll hear why education-first newsletters outperform coupon blasts, what a thoughtful 120-day estimate cadence looks like, and how to keep tone aligned with your sales DNA.If you run multi-location brands, you'll appreciate Matt's deep dive on localization. Creative must reflect the market; what works in the Midwest can ring false in Florida. We talk about filming smarter, tightening shots, and adapting social and media mixes to demographics and seasonality. And when it comes to channel strategy, Matt makes the case for diversification: balance SEO, LSA, PPC, direct mail, OTT/CTV, OOH, referrals, and community partnerships so no single platform can derail your pipeline.The throughline is simple and demanding: consistency is the real silver bullet. Stick with partners long enough to learn, keep budgets steady enough to measure, and show up for your community so trust precedes every search. If you're ready to get brand-forward, tighten your follow-up, and lead with empathy while you scale, this conversation will give you concrete steps to start today.If this resonated, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a contractor friend who needs a steadier plan.

A must-listen for anyone wanting to take action, build confidence, and create win-win partnerships in creative finance.

Award-winning author and Hollywood veteran Kay A. Oliver joins Was It Chance to unpack a career shaped by creative persistence, hard-earned reinvention, and the courage to walk away from systems that no longer fit. With more than three decades in Hollywood—spanning writing, production, consumer products, and studio work—Kay shares what it really takes to survive (and stay sane) in an industry driven by power, timing, and compromise. After being laid off during a breast cancer diagnosis, Kay made a pivotal decision: stop waiting for permission and start telling stories on her own terms. That choice led her to novel writing, where her work has earned more than 30 literary awards and sparked interest from streaming platforms for adaptation. In this episode, Kay breaks down the creative and business realities of Hollywood, the difference between writing for screen versus page, why failure is a prerequisite for success, and how trusting yourself can be the biggest creative risk of all. This conversation is candid, sharp, and deeply grounded in lived experience—proof that sometimes the most important “chance” is deciding not to play by someone else's rules. Connect With Us:
