She sold out. Twice. Wendy is a homeschool mom of six, a former nurse, and a Print School student who launched the Plan Prep Pray Homeschool Mom Planner — an all-in-one planner built for the reality of homeschooling and home management at the same time. Her 2025–2026 planner sold out. Her 2026–2027 planner sold out too. Now she's back with a preorder for her 2027–2028 dated planner and a brand new undated version — because her audience asked for it and she listened. In this episode, she talks about what went into designing a planner that actually works for homeschool moms, what the Kickstarter felt like, and why she's convinced none of it happened by accident.

In this captivating episode, we sit down with Bennett Tanton, host of The Broadcasting Seeds Podcast—a show that fearlessly explores controversial, mind-expanding topics on the edges of the unexplained, from spiritual warfare and hidden history to cryptids, the supernatural, and the unseen forces shaping our world.Bennett shares his own extraordinary paranormal journey, including encounters that were simply “too big” to ignore. He recounts a chilling experience with a giant Bigfoot in the wilds of Alaska, part of a series of high-strangeness events that have marked his path. We dive deep into his near death experience that gave him the sudden ability to read auras, which has transformed how he perceives people and the energies around them.Drawing from his background working with top government officials, Bennett opens up about observing dark auras surrounding certain key figures—and how this gift has sharpened his ability to detect hidden intentions, spot people carrying dark shadows, and navigate the unseen battles in everyday life and positions of power.From military service as a former Reconnaissance Marine and US Army Infantryman to his work as a researcher, podcaster, and author investigating faith, mystery, and the roots of civilization, Bennett brings a grounded yet open perspective to these extraordinary experiences.Whether you're into Bigfoot lore, aura reading, spiritual discernment, or government-adjacent high strangeness, this conversation blends the personal, the profound, and the paradigm-shifting.

What would it look like to sell something that doesn't technically exist yet, with no testimonials, no returning cohort, and almost no runway? That's exactly what I've been doing this month with The Decision Room, a $12,000 six-month mastermind I built from scratch and started selling before I had a single person in it.  The most important thing I learned in the process had nothing to do with marketing tactics. It had everything to do with what was holding the offer up when there was nothing tangible behind it.  In this episode, I'm walking you through the full behind-the-scenes of this launch: what I did that most marketers would call unhinged, the moment I almost talked myself out of running it, and the one shift that changed how I sell. If your sales have felt harder lately and you can't quite name why, this episode is going to give you a sharper way to look at the problem. Timeline Highlights [00:00] – Selling a $12,000 mastermind with no cohort, no testimonials, and a launch built almost entirely on conviction [01:10] – Why launching a mastermind from zero is one of the hardest things to sell as an online business owner [01:57] – Why declining sales at the six-figure level usually isn't a tactics problem [02:42] – The two ways conviction erodes: outgrowing your offer vs. never fully committing to it [05:54] – The Decision Room Mastermind: what it is, who it's for, and why the deadline matters [09:28] – What it meant to sell this offer when the only thing holding it up was personal belief [15:54] – Breaking the marketing rules: no launch event, no runway, no existing cohort feeding renewals [38:46] – The unconventional outreach moves: cold DMs, competitor asks, former coaches, and a networking group [50:10] – What changed when I stopped pre-deciding people's answers and started asking directly Top Quotes from the Episode "You cannot sell what you have not fully decided to sell."  "When you're selling something that doesn't exist yet, the only thing carrying it in those early days is how much you believe in it." "How somebody buys from you is always a reflection of your conviction, and you can't talk your way around a belief that you don't have." "Sometimes you literally need to make less money in the short term to be faithful to the thing you're creating, so it can grow for the long run." "I stopped pre-deciding people's answers for them. I stopped assuming they'd say no. I stopped assuming they'd be weirded out. I just decided to ask." "If you can ideate something and go sell it before you've built it, you can pretty much do anything in business. That's the skill." "I named the offer after the mechanism, not the outcome, and I trusted my buyer to be smart enough to understand why that matters."

After spending years building unvalidated products that went nowhere, Tibo Louis-Lucas completely changed how he approached startups. In this episode of the ProductLed Podcast, he shares how those early failures pushed him toward a faster, revenue-first way of building, one that eventually led to the success of Tweet Hunter and Taplio, and now powers a growing portfolio of product-led SaaS businesses. Tibo breaks down why revenue is the only validation that really matters, how Tweet Hunter stood out in a crowded market by going deep on a single platform, and the unusual distribution playbook that helped it take off. That included giving a major profit share to a creator-partner and building a network of “creative investors” who amplified the product from day one. The conversation also dives into why selling a company was far less glamorous than it sounds, and why Tibo now prefers building and holding long term. He shares how he thinks about creating an “indie hacker stack” for a specific persona, how AI has changed his day-to-day workflow, and why he now spends less time coding and more time reviewing, iterating, and building systems. One of the biggest takeaways is his operating style: no calls, fast feedback loops through DMs, and a strong focus on staying close to paying users. For founders building product-led companies, this episode is packed with practical lessons on validation, distribution, focus, and building with speed in the AI era. Key Highlights: 02:21 - Why Two Failed Startups Changed EverythingTibo shares the painful lesson of spending years on unvalidated ideas, and how that pushed him to become relentlessly validation-driven.05:38 - Revenue Is the Only Validation That CountsWhy free users can be misleading, how Tibo evaluates startup ideas today, and what made Tweet Hunter feel different almost immediately.09:47 - How Tweet Hunter Won a Crowded MarketThe strategy behind focusing on one platform deeply, serving creators instead of enterprises, and building something clearly better for a narrower use case.12:11 - The Distribution Deal That Fueled GrowthHow Tibo partnered with influencers using profit share and exit incentives, and why aligning distribution with the product was such a powerful lever.15:25 - The Creative Investors Growth EngineWhy he gave small ownership stakes to 17 creators, how that amplified launches and updates, and what made the model work.19:31 - Why Selling Wasn't the Dream OutcomeTibo opens up about the pressure of earnouts, platform risk, and why the acquisition experience made him want to build and hold instead.23:46 - Building an Indie Hacker Software StackWhy Tibo organizes his portfolio around a specific persona instead of a single vertical, and how he thinks about expanding from five products to more.34:54 - No Calls, More DMs, Better FeedbackA look at his no-meeting policy, why DM-based customer conversations work so well for him, and how staying close to users improves product decisions.37:18 - How AI Changed the Way He BuildsTibo explains how AI emptied his backlog, turned him into a QA-first builder, and created a new challenge: resisting feature creep.

In this episode, I share a recent lesson I've been learning in my business about feedback, expectations, and letting go of outcomes I can't control. What started as frustration over not getting replies to emails, DMs, and workshop invitations led me to rethink how I show up and serve my audience.    As I share that story, I connect it to a common challenge many yoga teachers face: looking for validation from students, feedback after class, or signs that we're doing a good job. If you've ever found yourself feeling discouraged by a lack of response or wondering what others think of your teaching, this episode offers a different perspective—one that may help you feel more grounded, present, and connected to why you teach in the first place.   Here are some teaching resources you might like:     https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/tips-for-new-teachers/     https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/from-the-interview-chair-e-book/     https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/Yoga-Anatomy-Accelerator

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Laura breaks down why a lead tracker is a non-negotiable tool for interior designers who want more consistent revenue and a calmer, more predictable pipeline. A lead tracker gives you visibility and control, so you stop relying on your inbox, DMs, and memory to manage inquiries. It also gives you grace, because when you can see the full timeline of a lead, you stop taking silence personally and start responding like a CEO with a clear follow-up system.Laura explains exactly what to include on your tracker, from lead basics and lead source to project scope, budget range, and pipeline stage. The real game-changer is tracking key dates at every touchpoint: when you responded, when you sent the welcome guide, when discovery was scheduled and completed, when the proposal and contract were sent, when follow-ups happened (and how), and when the contract and deposit were received. Those dates reveal where leads ghost or drop off, help you calculate your standard time-to-close, and show you which stage needs refinement.You will also learn when to send the “magic email” for drifting leads. It is a kind but firm message that creates a clear decision point, removes pressure, and protects your calendar by giving the client two paths forward: move ahead by a specific date, or pause and reconnect later. With a date-based lead tracker, you gain powerful metrics like conversion rates by stage, response time, sales cycle length, follow-up effectiveness, drop-off points, pipeline value, and lost-lead reasons, all of which help you nurture and finesse your process so closing clients becomes more predictable.In just one focused hour, we'll dive into whatever you need most—pricing strategies, client management, attracting high-end clients or building repeat business. You'll get clarity, strategy, and expert advice based on my 27+ years of running a thriving, seven-figure design firm.This is your chance to get real answers to the questions you've been dying to ask—from someone who's actually been there.Book your session as you need it—no strings attached.Be sure to follow along on Instagram @thebusinessofbeautifulspaces + @thorntondesign to stay up to date on what we're talking about next week.

Love Island USA Daily – After Aftersun Ep 1 – June 13, 2026 Love Island USA Season 8 gets a whole new layer as Kirsten MacInnis analyzes the debut of After Sun, the fresh post-villa talk show hosted by Ciara Miller and Tefi Pessoa. This episode peels back the curtain on what happens when islanders face the real world, phone in hand and social media buzzing, right after elimination. With Sean and Bea fresh off their exits, fans get an unfiltered look at nerves, backlash, and the search for connection beyond the villa. Kirsten walks listeners through Sean's whirlwind reunion with his phone, from wading through 700+ DMs to dealing with unexpected shade from the mayor of Bethlehem. Family FaceTimes reveal vulnerability as Sean processes both support and criticism. Meanwhile, Bea tackles questions of identity and representation, finding joy in seeing herself as more than a “diversity hire” and candidly discussing her connection with Gabe along with her place in disability and LGBTQ+ conversations online. Ciara and Tefi's chemistry as After Sun hosts sets a new tone, blending humor, honesty, and listener engagement for a deeper dive into cast dynamics. Key discussion points: Sean facing online scrutiny, family support, and the awkwardness of local politics crossing over with reality TV fame Bea's response to social media rumors, her pride in disability representation, and the challenges of being misread by the public Missed connections: the potential sparks between Sean and Anaya and why they never lit up Behind-the-scenes drama on gossip, style (KC's DIY looks get a major callout), and playful “bone collector” confessions Ongoing struggles with honesty and vulnerability, especially among the guys determined to protect their “good guy” image Kirsten's recap asks how vulnerability, identity, and public perception reshape Love Island's endgame. Will KC and Anaya's sparks turn into something real, and how will social media shape the journeys of cast-offs like Sean and Bea?

In this episode, we sit down with Jeff Finup — the creative force behind Badgerland Legends. A Wisconsin native, author, researcher, speaker, and passionate curator of the Badger State's strange lore, Jeff has built a massive following by sharing daily stories of forgotten history, hauntings, cryptids, and high strangeness.We dive deep into Wisconsin's reputation as a hotspot for high strangeness, exploring why the Badger State seems to attract more than its share of the unexplained. Jeff shares his own incredible personal UFO encounter from 2004, along with his fascinating experiences with synchronicity — those meaningful coincidences that feel too perfectly timed to be random. We discuss what synchronicities might mean, why they occur, and how they often surface during investigations into the unknown.We also cover the legendary Beast of Bray Road (Wisconsin's famous werewolf and dogman sightings), memorable UFO landings and close encounters across the state, and the rich Cornish pasty connection — how 19th-century miners from Cornwall, England, and Wales brought their food traditions, superstitions, and tommyknocker folklore to Wisconsin's lead mining regions.Packed with compelling storytelling, personal experiences, and thoughtful exploration of the unknown, this episode is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by folklore, the paranormal, and the hidden wonders of Wisconsin.

If you feel like you don't have enough leads or your audience isn't growing fast enough, this episode is going to completely shift your perspective. In this episode of The Real Truth About Business podcast, I'm sharing a series of Back Pocket Insights conversations focused on where your leads are actually hiding and how to expand your audience in a way that supports real revenue growth. This is for service-based entrepreneurs who are stuck in a revenue plateau, thinking they need more visibility when in reality, they're not fully leveraging what's already in front of them. After 9 years of experience, I can tell you most businesses don't have a lead problem. They have an awareness and action problem. Inside this episode, I break down how to identify hidden leads in your pipeline, how to move them through your sales process, and how to intentionally grow your audience.What You'll Learn:Why you already have more leads than you think in your pipelineHow to identify and activate hidden leads for faster revenue growthThe biggest mistake service-based entrepreneurs make with lead generationHow to move conversations into your sales process effectivelyWhy audience growth is directly tied to intentional actionHow to expand your network without overcomplicating your business strategyEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Introduction: Back Pocket Insights and coaching-style episodes[02:00] Why most entrepreneurs think they have zero leads[05:00] What actually qualifies someone as a lead[08:00] How leads are hiding in your DMs, content, and conversations[12:00] The problem with “friend-zoning” your audience[15:00] Why you need to give clear next steps in your sales process[18:00] Expanding your audience through intentional connection[21:00] Real-life example: building relationships through simple actions[24:00] Taking responsibility for audience growthKey Takeaways:You Have More Leads Than You ThinkHere's what I see constantly. Business owners saying they have zero leads.After 9 years of working with service-based entrepreneurs, I can tell you that's almost never true.If you have:People clicking your emailsConversations happening in your DMsEngagement on your contentPeople asking questionsYou have leads.They may not be “ready to buy” leads, but they are in your pipeline. And ignoring them is what slows your revenue growth.You're Likely Letting Leads Slip Through the CracksMost people only count someone as a lead when they say, “I want to work with you.”But that's not how a real sales process works.Leads are:People leaning into your contentPeople asking questionsPeople showing interestWhen you don't recognize these moments, you miss opportunities to move them forward.Inside the Focused Visionary Framework, this is a Pipeline problem. You're generating interest, but you're not converting it.You Might Be Friend-Zoning Your LeadsThis is one of the biggest mistakes.You're having great conversations. Building relationships. Providing value.But you're never giving the next step.So your audience stays stuck in conversation instead of moving into decision.Clear direction is what turns engagement into revenue growth. Without it, your sales process stalls.Audience Growth Requires Intentional ActionThis is where most people get it wrong.They look at others and think:“They have a bigger audience”“They're more connected”“They're more visible”But the difference is simple.They are taking action to meet people.Just like the example in this episode, people who build strong networks are actively:Starting conversationsShowing up in spacesEngaging with othersThey are not waiting for people to come to them.You Are Responsible for Expanding Your AudienceThis is a hard truth, but it's necessary.If your audience isn't growing, it's not because of the algorithm.It's because you're not putting yourself in enough places to be seen.That could look like:Networking eventsOnline communitiesSocial engagementDirect outreachBusiness growth requires you to be proactive, not passive.Small Actions Create Big MomentumYou don't need a massive strategy overhaul.You need:One new conversationOne follow-upOne introductionOne next stepThese small actions compound over time and strengthen your pipeline.That's how you create consistent lead generation and move out of a revenue plateau.Resources MentionedSubscribe to Back Pocket Insights for FREEBook a CEO Strategy Call Learn more about The Missing Piece IntensiveLearn more about The Focused Visionary AcceleratorDownload the FREE Lead and Conversion TrackerSubscribe to the Sunday Morning Brew NewsletterAbout the Host:Michelle DeNio is a business strategist based in Sarasota, Florida, specializing in helping service-based entrepreneurs break through revenue plateaus using her Focused Visionary Framework.

If Daniel wrote these shownotes they would be much nicer. But honestly, this was exhausting. Listening to people who just ramble on about things they know nothing about is tiresome. I don't know how people listen to this for pleasure. It's a genuine waste of time. But Daniel knows all about it. The dopamine hits. The self righteous anger. The feeling of tribalism. It's all baked into the piece. And while nobody seems to actually listen to their longform podcast (their listenscore is average at best), they get huge amounts of reach by making snappy little reels for social media. Reels like the one where they read out an email from the WikiLeaks/Podesta breach better known as 'Pizzagate' - except they don't read out what the emails actually say. Is this intentional or accidental? That's hard to tell. But there's one thing that's easy to see - especially for anyone familiar with DMs work - these unwitting clowns are doing the bidding of billionaires who have pushed an agenda through 'citizen journalists' and astroturf media outlets to destroy faith in institutions and create culture wars to distract us from their efforts to pillage the world for insane amounts of money. The greatest trick billionaires ever played was convincing idiots that trans kids are the problem. These guys are the the useful idiots of the Epstein class. Dan prepared a giant write up for this and did a great job. It's an excellent episode. I also finished a law exam that day (done for the semester - woot) which means I was, uh, academically refreshed by the time we started. But it gets worse. I even edited out some slurring at the end - my god. Definitely throwing stones in a glass house by the end...! Enjoy this descent into the minds of those who seek to unite us by bricking people they disagree with. It's hard to understand how that works, but bro just trust the plan. PS - if someone offers to fly you somewhere to do something you should ask who they are and maybe google them first. I would reference Tenet Media here but they knew what they were doing and who was paying them. I guess they get credit for that.

Hello EICrystals! This week on the podcast- shocking sex stunts, digital literary drama, surveillance for safety. Plus: a suspicious vibrating sound, Oenone losing her voice & Ruchira filing paperwork. First up- provocateur and viral adult creator Bonnie Blue is back in the headlines after turning her baby shower into... well, a very different kind of shower. The 27-year-old has begun releasing footage from Saturday's event, where 112 attendees reportedly took part over the course of six hours. Is this an adult entertainer exercising her bodily autonomy or a huge safeguarding concern for her unborn baby? And are we complicit for covering it? Let us know in the comments/ our DMs if you think this should be the last time we say the words Bonnie or Blue on the pod.Next up- we know that hot girls read, but do hot girls also file trademarks for widely used phrases they didn't invent? Last week business owner and BookTok creator Allie Mitrovich announced (in a now-deleted post) that she had officially secured the registration for the phrase "Hot Girls Read". We track the backlash, the outcome and ask why everyone online thinks they have to be a business owner.And finally: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that tech companies must introduce in-built software that stops underage users from taking or sharing nudes. Apple and Google have both been given until September to comply or will face legislation to force them to do so. Is this a major win for child safety or a sly attack on all of our most fundamental privacy rights?We hope you luuuurve today's episode because we luuuurved making it for you.

Welcome to episode 336 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! Three months out from the ÖTILLÖ Swimrun World Championship, and we are bringing you our most-requested episode type: the full day-by-day travel guide for race week in Sweden. We have done this race a handful of times and we get the same DMs every single year, so we decided to just answer everything in one shot. Where to stay, how to get from the airport, whether you actually need cash (you don't), what goes in your drop bag, and yes, how many fikas you can realistically fit into a single trip. We walk you through the whole week, starting from arrival at Arlanda and the Arlanda Express into Stockholm, through choosing between city center or Sigtuna, getting to Djurönaset and entering the race bubble, the ferry to Sandhamn on race morning, and finally what happens after you cross the finish line at Utö. We make the case for staying Monday night so you catch the post-race breakfast, which genuinely might be one of the best parts of the whole experience. We also check in on where our training is. Chip wrapped up a recovery week after ÖTILLÖ Orcas Island and jumped into a new block with a 4500-yard Monday swim thanks to Coach Liz, plus a new HYROX event on the calendar to keep the strength routine honest. Chris is officially starting his build, has been using the mental performance app from Dr. Erin Ayala's recent episode, and is treating strength as cumulative rather than all-or-nothing. Before the travel guide, we spend some time on gut training, which is something we are actively working on as part of our ÖTILLÖ prep. We break down how to establish your baseline carb intake, how to ramp it up incrementally, and the two practical tips we actually use in our own training: the 20-minute timer on the watch and grabbing an extra gel at every aid station. If you are planning on being out there for eight, ten, or thirteen hours, this stuff matters. Precision Fuel & Hydration has a free race planner tool with ÖTILLÖ loaded in, and their sports science team offers free one-on-one calls if you want to talk through your fueling plan specifically. Finally, keep an eye out for our Löw Tide Böyz Fika Meetup announcement. We will be hosting it again in Stockholm on Saturday, and last year we took over a pretty solid chunk of the cafe. You won't want to miss it. Enjoy!  That's it for this week's show.

You have to train people, put them in place." — Marcia DavisWhat does it take to run multiple restaurants, event centers, and once 37 Airbnbs without burning it all down? On this episode of Diversified Game, Kellen Coleman sits down with Marcia Davis, restaurateur and entrepreneur who moved from St. Louis to Atlanta with her husband Chef Mark Davis and built a self-taught empire from a 2011 catering company.Marcia breaks down the difference between owning a ton of businesses and owning five successful ones, why she moves slow and strategic, how she mastered payroll, hiring, and systems through trial and error, and why she sold off her Airbnb arbitrage at the right time. We get into raising kids with an ownership mindset, putting them out at 18 to learn real life, community give-backs, and why she still answers her own DMs for free.No celebrity hookup.

In this episode, you'll learn how to stop "posting more" and start running intentional, 3–7 day conversion campaigns that turn your existing audience into inbound DMs, sales calls, and clients.Jason breaks down how to pick a hyper-specific pain, anchor it to a single unique mechanism, and engineer a simple content sequence that shifts beliefs, builds demand, and drives people into a live workshop or other conversion event—without needing a bigger audience or more ads. "One well-run campaign will beat 90 days of value content, if you're saying the right words in the right way to the right people."   Key Points Information is a commodity; strategy is the edge Weekly content rhythm warms your audience Four content types: connection, influence, authority, conversion Conversion campaigns: 3–7 day intentional sequences Four moves: trigger, sequence, event, follow-up Pick one specific pain, not a broad niche Anchor that pain to one pillar/unique mechanism Make four sales: belief, identity, solution, proof Live workshops/masterclasses convert best for coaches Great hook = clear, outcome-focused, "without X" Day 1: raise-hands / opt-in style post Day 2: belief-shifting post with story/metaphor Day 3: proof post with client case study Day 4–5: launch + last-call posts, same CTA Follow up DMs and emails to close high-intent leads You don't need more followers—just better campaigns Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Day and the Department of Human Relations to Harryhausen's Restaurant, the Glob Theater, and new details about the highly anticipated Monsters, Inc. door coaster, Disney is beginning to paint a clearer picture of what guests can expect when they step into Monstropolis. We discuss why Disney chose to set the land after the events of Monsters, Inc., whether H.U.M.A.N. Day is a clever storytelling solution, what these new details mean for Hollywood Studios, and the question many fans are still asking: was it worth losing MuppetVision 3D?

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Brad Olsen—acclaimed researcher, award-winning author, and intrepid explorer—for an unforgettable deep dive into one of Earth's most enigmatic frontiers. A captivating speaker and the visionary mind behind the bestselling Esoteric Series, Brad Olsen has authored eleven books that challenge conventional narratives and illuminate hidden truths. His latest, Secrets of Antarctica: The Untold History of the Ice Continent, builds on decades of rigorous investigation and personal adventure. Having journeyed to all seven continents—including a daring sailboat expedition to Antarctica itself—Brad brings unparalleled firsthand insight to the table.We plunge into Antarctica's veiled past: rumored Nazi sites, Admiral Richard Byrd's groundbreaking expeditions and their profound implications, and the persistent legends of Hollow Earth, inner-world civilizations, and possible ancient or lost continents. Brad masterfully unpacks the Antarctic Treaty—exploring why every major global power united to establish it and why the continent remains heavily restricted to independent explorers and civilians. Why are vast swaths of this frozen realm strictly off-limits? What extraordinary discoveries lie beneath the ice? And what vital secrets are world governments determined to protect?From suppressed archaeological finds and forbidden zones to paradigm-shifting theories that question everything we think we know about our planet's history and geography, this conversation delivers electrifying revelations, compelling evidence, and lingering mysteries that will ignite your sense of wonder. Whether you're fascinated by hidden history, ancient civilizations, conspiracy realities, or the frontiers of human knowledge, this is an episode you simply cannot miss.www.bradolsen.comGear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

John is joined by Arlo Parks and Baird to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘Ambiguous Desire'. Arlo Parks is an indie-pop singer-songwriter from West London. After uploading demos to BBC Introducing as a teenager, she quickly attracted industry attention. Her debut album, ‘Collapsed in Sunbeams', arrived in 2021, establishing Arlo as one of the defining artists of her generation and earning her the Mercury Prize and two Grammy nominations. Arlo's third record, the more electronic-focused ‘Ambiguous Desire', was released in April 2026, co-written and produced by Baird, along with additional collaborators Paul Epworth and Sampha. Sitting down at Strongroom Studios in London, with Baird joining online, Arlo and Baird discuss the “runaway train” of their symbiotic creative process and how they recreated the feel of the club and dancefloor through the record's distinctive grooves. They share never previously heard freestyles, demos and vocal tracking secrets from the studio, and they answer questions from our Patreon community!

Why some entrepreneurs make sales faster than everyone else has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with their willingness to take action.
