Podcasts about Detour

Darren LaCroix says, "The most important part of a presentation is the thought process in the listener's mind." As presenters, we have to be aware of this continually. In this episode, Darren and Mark explore ways that speakers send audiences on 'mental detours,' and dilute their messages…without realizing it. Understanding and correcting these detours will provide greater clarity and help us to become unforgettable.   SNIPPETS:   • Be clear about what you want your audience to think   • Beware the Cherry Tree Effect • Avoid introducing characters near the end of your presentation   • Avoid prompting and audience memory amidst your own story   • Be aware of extraneous unrelated details   • Ensure that props, illustrations, visuals, and media don't hijack your message   • Coined words and humor can overshadow your point   • Copying other speakers style and content are distracting   • Inaccurate quotes and facts can cause audience to tune out   • YOU, the speaker, will clarify or dilute your message       Work with Mark and Darren: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com/get-a-speaking-coach/   Check Out Stage Time University: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com

What if the wrong turn that changed your life wasn't even yours to take? In this episode, Justin Gray, serial entrepreneur and Managing Partner at In Revenue Capital, shares how five exits worth more than $500 million in enterprise value all trace back to one unexpected introduction at a Phoenix bar. His girlfriend at the time ran into a founder, turned down a job offer, and said: talk to my boyfriend instead. That detour led Justin to employee number six at a fintech startup, his first liquidity event, and everything that followed. Today he invests in early stage B2B vertical SaaS companies, not just with capital but with his team's hands deep in the work alongside founders every single day.   [00:03:30] What He Does and Who He Serves Serial entrepreneur with five successful exits worth over $500 million in enterprise value Managing partner at In Revenue Capital, an early stage B2B vertical SaaS venture fund Invests at seed and Series A with a hands-on operator-immersive model Two portfolio companies have already exited since the firm launched in 2023 [00:05:00] How He Got Here Wanted to be a writer in college; pivoted to business and marketing when the money wasn't there Left school four credits shy of a degree; graduated into the post-September 11th job market Took a string of marketing jobs he hated; became a self-taught Swiss Army knife of go-to-market Frustrated by the siloed, arts-and-crafts lane that marketing was stuck in [00:08:00] The Startup That Changed Everything Joined a five-person payments startup in 2006 as employee number six Took three to four months to evaluate the decision; it turned out to be the best of his life Grew the company from roughly $1 million to $294 million in annual revenue Cashed out his equity and went on to found four more bootstrapped companies [00:13:30] What Inspires Him: Upleveling People Running a services firm taught him that people are the most important asset in any business Created a phantom equity program at LeadMD; half the enterprise value went to employees at exit Over a third of those employees have since gone on to start their own companies The freedom to build something is what most people need; liquidity is the key that unlocks it [00:17:30] How In Revenue Capital Actually Works Does not maintain a traditional venture fund; operates under a fundless sponsor SPV model Flies into new portfolio companies for a day and a half workshop after closing Builds a three-pillar assessment framework using market data, portfolio benchmarks, and AI One firm partner is currently serving as CRO for a portfolio company full time [00:23:30] What the Engagement Looks Like Day to Day Founders have the team on Slack, email, and phone; communication is always on Helps with hiring, messaging, pricing, customer success, CRM rollouts, and deal cycles If there is one thing that creates outsized value, it is helping founders hire the right people Knowing what great looks like at each stage is context most first-time founders don't have [00:28:30] The Relationship That Changed Everything: The Founder at the Bar His girlfriend ran into a founder at the Coach House bar in Phoenix; a disagreement led to an apology The founder offered her a job; she declined and said: my boyfriend hates his job, talk to him That introduction led to the payments startup, the first liquidity event, and everything after Without that random bar encounter, Justin says he would still be sitting in a cubicle [00:33:30] The Painful Lesson That Came With It The same founder later invested in two of Justin's subsequent companies out of shared camaraderie Their definitions of success were completely different; misalignment became costly and painful Justin had to buy the founder's half back at multiple seven figures he didn't have earmarked for that The lesson: alignment on goals, exit paths, and vision must come before any partnership [00:38:30] Final Word: Unscalable Things Drive Success Hosts the Cheat Code and Friends podcast with relationships-driven conversations Published The GTM Cheat Code in February 2025; a national bestseller about doing unscalable things All of In Revenue Capital's deal flow comes through venture partners who trust the team The model: provide value to partners first and the doors open on their own   KEY QUOTES "The sixth ingredient that builds a great tech ecosystem, more important than all the others, is context. You have to know what great looks like." - Justin Gray "Everyone thinks they need to only do things that scale. But if you create a culture of hyper value, reward first and revenue second, the relationships open every door." - Justin Gray CONNECT WITH JUSTIN GRAY Website: https://www.inrevenue.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/inrevenue   Thanks for tuning in!

Send us Fan MailThe Big IdeaProfessor Adam Braus pitches a fix nobody's tried: instead of taxing property at a flat rate, tax it like income — progressively. Own a modest home? You're barely taxed. Own a $50 million real estate empire? You pay real money. It's a property tax with a conscience, and Adam argues it could solve the housing crisis, fix California's broken Prop 13 system, and take a swing at the billionaire-hoarding problem all at once.Scot Maupin, doing his usual generous-interrogator thing, pokes at yachts, shell companies, and whether landlords will just pass the cost to renters — and Adam's got an answer for all of it.What's Broken Right NowProp 13 locks property taxes to a home's original purchase price — not what it's worth today. Buy a house in 1985 for pocket change, and decades later you're still paying taxes on pocket change, even as the home is worth millions.This hits commercial property too — including, allegedly, golf courses that shuffle ownership through shell-share tricks so they're never technically "sold."The result: California's budget is starved relative to its actual wealth, and the state leans harder on income tax to compensate — which hits working people disproportionately harder than a property tax would.Meanwhile, in places like Montana and Hawaii, wealthy outsiders are buying up land and driving housing costs through the roof — not because there's a housing shortage, but because of hoarding and speculation.The Fix: Progressive Property TaxInstead of one flat rate on a property's value, tax brackets stack on a person's total property holdings:First $200K (or so): little to no tax — protects ordinary homeowners and grandmas on fixed incomes.$200K–$2M: a low rate, comparable to today's lowest-tax states.$2M–$10M+: rates climb toward the top of the national range (2%+).+$50M: a "super bracket" — 2.5–3%+ on the excess.The pitch: this could roughly double California's property tax revenue (from ~$100B to $170–200B), funneled toward building housing, ending homelessness, and politically popular wins like paid leave — while lowering the tax burden on working people (no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security).How It Closes the LoopholesA beneficiary registry (already used in Australia and some U.S. states) ties every property to a real human owner — so you can't dodge the tax by splitting ownership across an LLC for every house, or spreading deeds across family members.Commercial real estate is included. Adam's pitch turns this into a two-for-one: tax pressure forces a sell-off of empty downtown office space (a post-COVID glut), and the state can buy it cheap and convert it into actual housing — bringing residents (and life) back to dead downtowns.The Objections, Pre-DebunkedScot plays it straight and asks the obvious questions:"Won't the rich just flee to Florida or Montana?" Adam's counter: capital flight of real estate is mostly harmless — the buildings can't be packed in a suitcase. If a billionaire sells, the property stays in-state; prices just come down, which is the point."Won't this just raise rents?" Possibly nudges the very top of the market, but the broad base of affordable housing should barely move — maybe even gets cheaper as demand shifts."Will yachts and jets count?" No — keep it simple, this is real estate only.Where the Idea Comes FromAdam name-checks Gary's Economics (and its scrappier YouTube cousin, Barry's Economics) for the broader "tax wealth, not work" framing, and ties the proposal back to existing progressive wealth-tax proposals from Bernie Sanders (the famous "8% bracket above $1B," pegged to average market returns) and Elizabeth Warren (flat 2% above $50M) — positioning the progressive property tax as a more politically palatable, state-level cousin of those ideas.Detour of the EpisodeA spirited tangent on Maine's Senate race, Graham Platner — oyster farmer, combat veteran, and the episode's pick for "proof this message can win" — plus a running bit on whether wind turbines can literally use up the wind. (They cannot. Probably.)Quotable"I'm so wealthy that I can't pay the tax on my wealth." — the complaint Adam says is doing a lot of work to protect a small number of very rich people.Want me to also draft a short, punchier episode description (the 2–3 sentence blurb for podcast apps) or social media copy to go with these notes?

Een bomvolle aflevering van In Het Wiel, met onze wielerverslaggevers ter plaatse in de Ronde van Zwitserland en de Baloise Belgium Tour. Over de overmacht van Tadej Pogacar, de doelen van Mathieu van der Poel, de Tour-selectie van Olav Kooij en de ritzege van Femke de Vries. Niek Goedvolk bespreekt het allemaal met Roxane Knetemann en verslaggevers Daniël Dwarswaard en Marijn Abbenhuijs. Uiteraard is er ook volop aandacht voor misschien wel het grootste nieuws van de dag: het afhaken van Wout van Aert voor de Tour de France. Hoe groot is die aderlating voor kopman Jonas Vingegaard? Wie moet de Belg vervangen in de selectie van Visma-Lease a Bike? En scheelt het misschien ook dat er nu geen renners meer meegaan die eigen ambities willen nastreven? Je hoort het allemaal in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the hardest things to understand if you didn't abuse your child or children, is that their estrangement may still be a way of protecting themselves. Although there are estranged adult children with horrific stories of abuse and neglect, they are not the only ones creating distance from parents and family. Parents of all backgrounds, temperaments, disciplinary styles and socioeconomic levels are being held at arm's length by adult children who were not abused, and yet are motivated by self-protection. They're not lying. They just might be talking about factors that are all but invisible to you, and even to other family members. In this cornerstone two-part episode (Part 1 can be found at https://reconnectionclub.com/225), you'll learn about relationship dynamics that may be unfamiliar or challenging, that could contribute to your adult child's going no-contact or low-contact. Once you understand what they're protecting themselves from, you can begin the work of reducing the impact of those factors, and healing your relationship. For much more evidence-based information and tools to repair the parent-adult child relationship, read host Tina Gilbertson's book, Reconnecting With Your Estranged Adult Child. https://amzn.to/2ZhetMe Reconnection Club members can discuss this and every episode in the General Discussion forum inside the Reconnection Club.

Na een weekje vakantie zijn Sander Valentijn, Jeroen Vanbelleghem, Jan Hermsen en Bobbie Traksel terug met genoeg stof om over te discussiëren. In de Tour Auvergne – Rhone-Alpes won Del Toro en we bespreken zijn enorme sterke statistieken in het afgelopen jaar. Seixas viel, dus worden de keuzes van Decathlon – CMA CGM om hem door te laten rijden onder de loep genomen. Verder aandacht voor de verhoudingen bij Lidl – Trek en de (tanende) voorbereiding van Wout van Aert richting de Tour. Aangezien de eerste grote ronde van het jaar er alweer een tijdje op zit, is het tijd om onze eigen WorldTour Power Rankings weer onder de loep te nemen, met interessante discussies over welke teams wel en niet boven zichzelf uitstijgen. Verder in de voorbeschouwing aandacht voor de toekomst van het wielrennen met het nieuwe concept in de Tour de Suisse, sprintgeweld in de Baloise Belgium Tour en waarom ook de Ronde van Slovenië ons veel kan vertellen richting de Tour de France.

At nineteen years old, he was looking forward to a quiet drive to the city where he would be starting college. The route was simple, the highway was familiar, and the trip should have been uneventful.Then a late-night detour changed everything.After being forced off the highway, he found himself navigating unfamiliar roads with a dead phone and no directions. What followed was a series of encounters and discoveries that felt increasingly disconnected from reality.An unfinished bridge. An eerily empty village. A young couple who seemed just as lost as he was. Years later, he still isn't sure whether he stumbled into an elaborate coincidence, an urban legend brought to life, or something far stranger.Because the deeper he thinks about that night, the harder it becomes to explain where he actually was. #RealGhostStories #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #UrbanLegend #PhantomTown #VanishingHitchhikers #ParanormalEncounter #TrueGhostStory #LateNightDrive #UnexplainedMysteryLove real ghost stories?

De Dauphine verveelt geen moment. Visma wint de ploegentijdrit, zelfs zonder Wout van Aert, die er al na acht minuten af moest. Seixas gaat zo hard de klim op dat zijn eigen ploeggenoten eraan kapot gaan. En verder is het feest voor de vluchters: Charmig en Simmons pakken allebei een ritje mee. Jonne, Maike en Benja bespreken de Dauphine en wat we hiervan meenemen naar de Tour, en het allerbelangrijkste nieuws: we kunnen deze zomer slapen bij de geitjes van Thibaut Pinot!

We dive into his goals for Baby Giro, Worlds, and the hunt for that first pro contract — plus some classic stories about Uncle Mick and the Rogers family legacy.A grounded, smart, no‑bullshit chat with a rider who's got the engine, the attitude, and the trajectory to go all the way.If this episode wasn't enough Detour for you, the good stuff lives at thedetour.online with deeper stories, race breakdowns, and the kind of cycling mayhem we can't fit into a clip.

De Tour Auvergne - Rhône-Alpes is voorlopig de ronde van de ontsnappingen. Na Alex Baudin en Anthon Charmig, was ook de derde rit in lijn er eentje voor de vluchters. Al zat het vandaag allemaal wat dichter bij elkaar. Quinn Simmons mocht uiteindelijk zijn handen in de lucht steken. In deze nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel heeft Niek Goedvolk het met Roxane Knetemann en Daniël Dwarswaard uiteraard even over Simmons, maar vooral nog even over de ploegentijdrit van gisteren. In hoeverre was dat een generale voor de Tour de France? En heeft Netcompany-Ineos de verkeerde keuze gemaakt door Kévin Vauquelin te laten wachten op Oscar Onley? Bij Visma - Lease a Bike moest Wout van Aert al heel vroeg lossen. Is dat een probleem richting de Tour, of is er nog tijd genoeg om weer in vorm te komen? Ondertussen maakt kopman Matteo Jorgenson een sterke indruk. Kan hij het toptalent Paul Seixas lastig maken in strijd om de eindwinst?

Original Release Date: Monday 8 June 2026    Description:   Phil was actually worried he and Dean wouldn't have enough to discuss to fill this week's show and wow was his worry unfounded! The gentlemen get the conversational ball rolling with the return of “What We're Reading” wherein four quite fascinating and quite disparate works get covered, leading to in-depth discussion about such topics as painting watercolors, epistolary novels, the comedic genius of Norm Macdonald, and life in Austria-Hungary of the early 1900s. All the major prizewinners at Cannes 2026 get discussed, and the early summer U.S. box office gets celebrated. Then, however, the tone turns darker, as the need for a full-on boycott of Paramount and its properties gets expressed, and the ramifications of waiting for the Warner Bros. merger to launch said boycott get explored. Dean saw The Sheep Detectives and shares his thoughts. Phil watched the classic 1945 film noir Detour and spills the dirt on its director's fall from grace, hails the film as a must-watch for aspiring filmmakers, and regales Dean with a delightful fact about the career of the film's lead actress, Ann Savage.

Michael 'Bling' Matthews sits down for his most raw, revealing, and emotional conversation yet - a full, unfiltered walk through the crash that nearly ended everything, the surgeries that saved him, the dark moments that almost broke him, and the fire that brought him back.From hitting a fire truck at a combined 100 km/h, to weeks in hospital unable to feed himself, to the surgeon who rebuilt him, to Tadej Pogačar calling every day to keep his head above water - this is the story behind the story.Bling opens up about the fear, the gratitude, the shift in mindset (“less bullshit, more truth”), the people who showed up when it mattered, and the rediscovery of why he rides. Now, on the eve of his return at the Critérium du Dauphiné, he reflects on the journey, the scars, the perspective, and the purpose that came out the other side.A must‑listen for anyone who's ever stood at a crossroads and wondered if they could fight their way back.If this episode wasn't enough Detour for you, the good stuff lives at thedetour.online with deeper stories, race breakdowns, and the kind of cycling mayhem we can't fit into a clip.

Connor Wright rolls into the Talent Tool Shed with the perfect blend of country grit, mountain‑bike swagger and wide‑eyed honesty about what it's really like stepping into the chaos of European road racing. From learning to descend in abandoned mine shafts in Kalgoorlie to juggling Nations Cup road blocks, MTB World Cups and a future Olympic dream, Connor opens up on the wild ride he's living right now.Dan and Plumber Dunc dig into his results, his mindset, the crossover between MTB and road, the teams circling him, the “no dickhead policy,” and why he refuses to give up mountain biking no matter how juicy the carrot gets. It's raw, funny, and full of the kind of nuggets young riders actually need.A genuine talent, a grounded bloke, and a name you'll be hearing a lot more of.If this episode wasn't enough Detour for you, the good stuff lives at thedetour.online with deeper stories, race breakdowns, and the kind of cycling mayhem we can't fit into a clip.

Sam Bewley goes deep on what really happens inside a WorldTour team — the culture, the pressure, the Giro review, the young guns, the budgets, the bullshit, the AI, all of it.From managing riders who need a rocket to understanding the new generation, Bewley breaks down the modern sport in a way only someone who's lived it can. He opens up on:• why culture beats money• how teams actually review a Grand Tour that goes sideways• the truth about young riders and motivation• the rise of Biniam Girmay and the Eritrean fanbase• Brady Gilmore's “mad dog” mentality• George Bennett's resurgence• how AI is already changing strategy and selection• what to expect from the Tour de FranceIt's honest, sharp, funny, and full of behind‑the‑scenes stories you won't hear anywhere else.A proper Backstage with Dan Jones chat.If this episode wasn't enough Detour for you, the good stuff lives at thedetour.online with deeper stories, race breakdowns, and the kind of cycling mayhem we can't fit into a clip.

Lorrie: Because Voldemort cursed the curriculum... JC: If people can't defend themselves on a very basic level -- people can't do critical thinking or media literacy, or just basically being able to do things without having to turn to AI -- that feels like an intentional long game to do damage to society so that people have to rely on something else.

After 70 episodes, I've noticed a pattern that keeps showing up in every corner of longevity, wellness, and medicine: people don't fail because they “don't care.” They fail because the signal is buried under hype, and because perfectionism makes the basics feel impossible to sustain. So I step back and share a simple framework  for living long and well: treat evidence like a compass, treat hype like a detour, and treat perfectionism like a parking brake.I walk through how to read health evidence without getting lost. Randomized controlled trials vs observational studies, replication, meta-analyses, and the most important filter of all: are we looking at meaningful outcomes like fewer heart attacks, better function, clearer thinking, and longer life, or are we just watching biomarkers move. We also revisit how research in stable coronary artery disease forced a shift away from the intuitive “fix the plumbing” story and back toward the unglamorous risk factors that actually drive health.Then we get practical about what to do when averages don't map cleanly onto you. Using sleep and melatonin as an example, we explain a careful N-of-1 approach, including the power of stopping and restarting so you can tell whether a change truly helps. From there, we break down the “hype equation” using mitochondrial health and NAD claims to show how plausible mechanisms, credentials, anecdotes, and incentives can make weak evidence feel strong.Finally, we make the case for “good enough” health: the 80-20 moves that deliver most of the benefit, plus the mindset that leaves room for joy. If this helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who's tired of wellness noise, and leave a review so more people can find the compass.Send us Fan Mail

Modern Warfare 4 got revealed, 007 First Light is finally out, and the Hell Let Loose: Vietnam beta dropped — so naturally we spent an episode on the franchise we swore off, a Bond game that isn't quite Hitman, and a beta that can't hold a frame rate. We get into the HLL: Vietnam open beta (the rubber-banding, the keybinds that won't stick, the studio's track record) and whether it's worth grabbing at the June 18 launch. Then 007 First Light: it's sitting at 88 on Metacritic and "best Bond since GoldenEye," but is it actually a let-down if you came in expecting Hitman? We break down why the reviews and the disappointment can both be right. Then the big one — Modern Warfare 4. Korea-but-modern is a genuinely cool setting, Ballistic Authority gunplay, DMZ is back, it skips last-gen. We also get into the death of the Warzone era, where extraction shooters go next (Tarkov, Arc Raiders), and a detour into Elden Ring. And we close on Aliens.gov: the site the UFO community thought was disclosure, that turned out to be something very different. Two friends, zero corporate takes.

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside is leaning transition and change. How can we embrace the path before us even when it hasn't looked like what we thought it might? What is available when we continue to trust and believe that what's possible is not lost, but it's still on the way? I also did a card pull today. We've got three different cards from three different decks coming into play today.1. First Card (card imagery - a tree reflected by itself): Spring Equinox (10:54min)What is hiding in plain sight? Notice your patterns and imagery around you to find things you haven't noticed.This is a rebirth of YOUR world - yes, it's been hard, but you're ready to come into what's next What is more painful... to cling to what was or to make space for what you're birthing now? 2. Second Card (card imagery - a glorified vulva shape with sophia halo): Rita of Casica (18:29min) Prayer and possibility are the invitation in this card Keep believing in what you want. Don't give up. "The path to what we desire is in our belief that it is still possible."3. Third Card (card imagery - man holding a spear): Warrior (29:55min) You are primal love and held by primal love, stand strong in your convictionsKnow that if you're feeling stretchy around holding you boundaries or shifting the dynamics of a relationship that you are supported... stand your ground 2026 PLAYLIST: Each week of 2026, I'm selecting a song that resonates with the message of that particular Fireside Friday.

Heela Yang built Sol de Janeiro, one of the most beloved body care brands, from her dining room, but her path there looked nothing like a typical business plan. After twelve years in corporate beauty following stints at Goldman Sachs and a Harvard MBA, she left New York for Brazil for love, only to find herself pregnant, isolated, and unable to do the work that had always defined her. A single afternoon on a beach, surrounded by women of every shape in a very small bikini she'd been talked into, changed everything. In this episode, Heela shares how that moment became the emotional blueprint for Sol de Janeiro, the cult-favorite brand that launched a craze for mists and body care and built a business around embracing your body and skin as it is, no matter what size or shape.

Send us Fan MailPlans don't fall apart politely. They break your timeline, mess with your reputation, and hit you when you're already tired. We start with a raw confession: preaching can feel strange when people assume the person up front has everything figured out, and turning 40 has a way of dragging every unanswered question into the light.From there, we follow a thread through Scripture that most people try to skip: God's best work often comes packaged as disruption. Abraham waits decades for a promise and still faces an impossible test. Joseph does the right thing and lands in prison anyway. Stephen serves and gets stoned. Saul becomes Paul and pays for it with his life. Following Jesus doesn't erase hardship, it often clarifies it.Then we sit in Matthew 1 and 2 with Mary and Joseph, a young couple whose world gets “derailed” by a miracle they didn't ask for. Joseph tries to protect Mary, an angel reframes the whole story, and suddenly the Messiah arrives alongside fear, gossip, and a king who wants a baby dead. If you've been saying, “God, this wasn't the plan,” you're not alone, and you're not abandoned.Listen, share this with someone who needs steadiness, and if it helps, subscribe and leave a review so more people can find it.

This episode takes a ride down one of film noir's darkest highways with Detour (1945), directed by Edgar G. Ulmer.

Do you feel constantly troubled by your sin—driven to create new “lines in the sand” just to feel good enough? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef warns that when we try to earn God's acceptance, we trade Gospel freedom for spiritual exhaustion—shackling ourselves with legalism and elevating our own rules to the level of God's commands. Jesus confronted this very mindset in the Pharisees, who were meticulous about external religious behavior while neglecting the weightier matters God desires—mercy, faithfulness, and justice (Matthew 23:23). Their outward appearance looked impressive, but Christ exposed the inner reality: hypocrisy and emptiness (Matthew 23:27–28). Dr. Youssef explains that legalism always leads to discontentment because it makes salvation feel like “grace plus something”—church attendance, rituals, moral checklists, reputation, or performance. But the Gospel is better: Jesus did it all on the cross. Peace with God comes by grace through faith—God's gift, not our achievement—so no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8–9). If a legalistic mindset has shifted your focus from God's grace to man-made rules, this devotional calls you to repent of self-righteousness and rest in Christ's finished work. Prayer: Father, thank You for Your grace. Help me to be on guard against legalism in my life, allowing You to sanctify me from the inside out instead of trying to change myself from the outside in. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace” (Romans 6:14). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Matt White joins us from the Giro d'Italia for one of his most open and wide‑ranging chats yet. We cover everything from Movistar's resurgence to the chaos of the Giro, the culture shift in modern cycling, and the stories that defined the GreenEDGE era.Whitey reflects on the Matthews vs Cadel hilltop finish, the infamous day they “didn't ride one metre”, and the year the team finished the Giro with only two riders. He talks through the evolution of the sport — data, staff arms races, bottle crews, and why the job of a DS is almost unrecognisable compared to a decade ago.We dive deep into his move to Movistar, what he's brought to the team, and why their identity is shifting. Whitey also opens up about working with Simon Yates, why he wasn't surprised by his retirement, and how Yates' Giro heartbreak in 2018 shaped the champion he became.There's everything you expect from a classic Detour chat: backstage pass chaos, birthday‑cake scams, sparring with bus drivers, food stories from the Giro, and the kind of cycling insight only Whitey can deliver.If you love proper cycling storytelling, this is Whitey at his best — honest, sharp, funny, and full of gold.

Michael is joined by Craig Singleton, Senior Director of the China Program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, to preview the long-delayed summit between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week. With the war in Iran looming over the meeting, Craig discusses whether Beijing will leverage its influence over Tehran as a bargaining chip or continue to provide the regime with a critical economic lifeline. He also focuses on the unbalanced dependencies that define the U.S.-China relationship—from the weaponization of trade to the national security risks posed by Chinese dominance in the battery and electric vehicle markets. Craig also explains what China's plans could be for Taiwan, and why the U.S. can't build its next industrial economy on supply chains controlled by Beijing.

There are places in Iceland that are easy to visit. And then there are places that require a bit more effort, but reward you in ways you honestly don't expect. I'm sharing 5 places across the country that are absolutely worth the detour. These aren't your typical Golden Circle stops. These are the kinds of places that make people say: “Wait… THIS was in Iceland?!” If you're planning a trip and want to go beyond the basics, this list is for you. Table of Contents How to Reach These Places (Car & Camper Van Tips) Látrabjarg (Westfjords) Seyðisfjörður (East Iceland) Hveradalir (Highlands) Plan Your Trip with My Iceland Map Westman Islands / Vestmannaeyjar (South Iceland) Siglufjörður (North Iceland) Sample Route Using These 5 Detours Random Fact of the Episode Icelandic Word of the Episode How to Reach These Places (And Save on Your Rental) Let's be real for a second. To visit places like these, especially the Westfjords, Highlands, and North Iceland, you'll need your own vehicle. Public transport won't get you to most of these locations, and guided tours often don't go this far off the beaten path. That's where having the right rental car or camper van makes all the difference. I personally use and recommend: Go Car Rental Iceland Go Campers I've partnered with them for years because: They have a wide variety of vehicles (from small cars to fully equipped campers) Their customer service is amazing And they make it easy to travel around Iceland confidently How to Save + Get Free Extras When you use my link:gorentals.is/allthingsiceland You'll automatically get: 7% off your rental Plus some really helpful extras Here's exactly what to do: For Go Car Rental: Click the link and enter your travel dates The 7% discount is automatically applied When you get to “Insurance & Extras” Select 4G WiFiYou'll see the price does not increase, it stays the same For Go Campers: Click the same link and choose your camper The 7% discount is automatically applied Under the “Sleeping” section Select a sleeping bag Again, the price stays the same It's one of those little things that makes a big difference when you're traveling around Iceland. 1. Látrabjarg (Westfjords) If you're craving something remote, raw, and wildly beautiful, this is it. Látrabjarg is the westernmost point of Iceland, and is known for its dramatic sea cliffs and incredible birdlife. Why Látrabjarg worth the detour: One of the best places in Iceland to see puffins up close Massive cliffs stretching for kilometers A true “edge of the world” feeling Important tips: The road can be rough, so take it slow Best visited in summer (June–mid August for puffins) Not recommended in winter, late fall or early spring. You can use a 2wd to get here but a 4×4 makes the trip easier and smoother. This is exactly the type of destination where having the right vehicle matters. 2. Seyðisfjörður (East Iceland) This town feels like stepping into a completely different side of Iceland. The drive into Seyðisfjörður alone is unforgettable. The winding road down a mountain pass into a peaceful fjord surrounded by waterfalls is incredible. What makes Seyðisfjörður special: Eclectic, artistic vibe The iconic
