314: QUIPA: Processes that Drive Profit With over two decades of experience as a workroom owner and interior designer, Hope Arbery understands the real challenges behind custom work—long hours, pricing uncertainty, and the constant pressure to get everything just right. She founded QUIPA to provide the tools she—and so many others—wished they had: automated yardage and pricing calculations, professional estimates, and systems that bring clarity instead of chaos. Hope is deeply committed to helping workrooms not just survive, but truly thrive with confidence, professionalism, and profit. In today's conversation, we're diving into what inspired her to create QUIPA, how it works, and the key problems it solves for workrooms everywhere. Topics Mentioned: Project management and pricing support Modernizing workrooms Simplified operations and communication Key Thoughts:  Modernizing workrooms in the custom soft furnishings industry to remain competitive is very important. The demand for efficiency and accuracy is increasing, and estimating and project management tools can provide assistance. The complexity of teaching the intricacies of window treatments prohibit many from hiring. Providing estimates quickly helps maintain project momentum and avoid losing clients due to delays.

Jen Psaki looks at catastrophic polling data about how Americans feel about Donald Trump and his handling of issues like the economy and his war with Iran Jen also shares interviews from MS NOW reporter Alex Tabet with frustrated Trump voters who turning away from Trump. "They thought he was going to lower costs. They thought he was going to end the wars. They thought he was going to drain the swamp. They thought he was going to release the Epstein files. And now they're feeling pretty disillusioned." Democratic candidate for Senate from Texas, James Talarico, talks with Jen Psaki about how Donald Trump's broken promises and the hardships imposed by Trump's economy are giving his campaign the opportunity to connect with previously inaccessible voters and have a real shot at flipping that Senate seat in November. Norm Eisen, executive director of Democracy Defenders Fund, talks with Jen about the illegality of Donald Trump's self-indulgent use of federal resources, including the White House, for his personal aggrandizement and birthday celebration. John Brennan, former director of the CIA, joins to discuss Jay Clayton, Donald Trump's new DNI nominee, and the perils of Bill Pulte serving in the acting-DNI role for even a short period of time.

In the Electrek Podcast, we discuss the most popular news in the world of sustainable transport and energy. In this week's episode, we discuss our Rivian R2 first drive, BYD going nuts on flash charging, Donut Lab's miracle battery being seemingly dead, and more.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil live from the Glenn Bar and Grill. The guys recap Zach's time on the golf course yesterday, playing 100 holes for charity, and all the massive news in Denver sports yesterday that he missed. Zach and Phil react to the latest in the Jonothan Cooper story with the law and his domestic violence allegations. Could Cooper get released from the Broncos with the poor decisions he's made in the last week? We react to Davis Webb explaining how Jaylen Waddle coming to Denver reminds him of when the Bills traded for Stephon Diggs in Josh Allen's third season in the NFL. Will Bo Nix take a massive leap in production like Allen did with the arrival of an elite number one receiver? We hear from Joe Sakic and his comments from the Avalanche's end-of-the-season press conference. Is the Avs organization not upset enough about the way they were defeated in the playoffs? 

At last week's NYU IHIF, Glenn Haussman talks with John Schultzel, Chief Growth Officer at Olympia Hospitality, about drive-to demand, shrinking booking windows, rate discipline, destination marketing, and how hotels can stay close to guests without losing the human side of hospitality. Olympia operates across New England, up and down the East Coast, and as far west as Colorado, giving John a clear look at different market patterns. He sees continued opportunity in drive-to leisure markets, even when broader economic stress makes travelers more cautious. Drive-to demand can hold up when travelers still want a getaway but rethink distance or transportation Short booking windows make pricing discipline harder when hotels watch pace late in the week Creative packages beat panic discounting when travelers make last-minute decisions Hotels need stronger destination marketing because guests often choose the place before they choose the property Weather should change the message, not kill the opportunity AI can help marketing teams move faster while still keeping the human side of hospitality intact Thanks to Actabl.

In this Episode, we ask a simple question: What's normal anymore? Because if what's happening in Canada right now is considered normal, then normal needs a new definition. From rising costs and political spin to policies that somehow make less sense the more they're explained, we look at the strange new reality Canadians are expected to accept without question. Nothing to see here, folks... just a perfectly normal country doing perfectly normal things. Right? Riiiiiiight!

The conversation moves beyond cards and into something deeper: how collectors with completely different motivations can still share the same hobby. As the debate over collecting versus investing continues, the panel explores the role of perspective, bias, identity, and why so many hobby disagreements stem from people approaching sports cards in fundamentally different ways. The discussion touches on the Hobby Spectrum, the relationship between purists and investors, and the importance of understanding other viewpoints without needing to adopt them yourself. It's a thoughtful and fitting conclusion to one of the most philosophical Sports Cards Live episodes in recent memory. Sports cards is a lifestyle.

Christian Ashley and Jill Elizabeth dive deep into the 2022 film "Prey," a prequel in the iconic Predator franchise, fresh out of their Drive-In theater experience. They kick things off with a major takeaway: this flick flips the script on traditional storytelling with its strong female lead, Naru, who stands tall against both the titular predator and the colonizing French trappers. Jill's enthusiasm shines through as she praises the film's feminist undertones and its respectful portrayal of Native American culture. Christian chimes in, relishing the clever nods to mythology and the way the film weaves in themes of ecological balance and colonization. With a mix of insightful analysis and light-hearted banter, they explore how "Prey" not only revives the franchise but also makes a statement about who the real monsters are in a world driven by conquest and survival. Exploring the cinematic landscape of the Predator franchise, the discussion dives deep into the film 'Prey,' a fresh take that not only revives the series but does so with a keen sense of cultural awareness. Christian, Jill, and Ash break down the film's narrative, which centers on Naru, a young Comanche woman who defies traditional gender roles to become a warrior in her own right. Jill expresses her enthusiasm for the film's feminist undertones, noting how Naru is portrayed not as a mere accessory to the male-dominated plot but as a fully developed character who stands at the forefront of her own story. The dialogue flows effortlessly as they dissect the film's themes of colonization, identity, and survival within a historical context that isn't often acknowledged in mainstream cinema. They highlight how Naru's journey is emblematic of the struggle against both the literal and figurative predators that seek to undermine her existence. As they navigate through the film's plot points, special effects, and character development, the hosts manage to weave in their personal experiences and insights, creating a rich tapestry of conversation that encourages listeners to rethink what a 'hero' looks like.Takeaways:Christian and Jill dive into the film 'Prey', exploring its fresh perspective as a prequel in the Predator franchise, which brings much-needed female representation to the forefront.The duo praises the film's protagonist, Naru, emphasizing her growth from an underestimated hunter to a capable warrior, showcasing a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.They discuss the cultural themes in 'Prey', particularly the depiction of colonization and its impact on Native American culture, cleverly intertwining it with the notion of who the real predators are.Christian highlights the film's unique setting in 1719, away from the typical American expansion narrative, which adds depth to the story and challenges traditional tropes in action films.Jill points out the lack of a 'white savior' trope in the film, which is a refreshing take, allowing Naru's character to shine without falling into cliched pitfalls.The conversation wraps up with a humorous take on their favorite movie snacks and beverages for the Drive-In, showcasing their relaxed vibe and camaraderie.Mentioned in this episode:Systematic GeekologyOur show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

4th Step – On Obedience The Ladder of Divine Ascent was written primarily for monks. However, the words of Saint John Climacus at the beginning of the first chapter indicate that his intention is to address every person who longs for salvation. He says: “The gates of eternal life are open to all. The goal of our life is to follow Christ and to become like Him in His divine love.”

Steel is one of the most important drivers of ship recycling values, but recycling offers are not based on steel prices alone. In the first episode of Steel, Ships, and Recycling Values, Nayeem Noor, VP - Business Development and Communications at GMS, speaks with Jamie Dalzell, Head of the GMS Singapore Office, about how recyclers assess steel markets when pricing vessels for recycling. The discussion looks at why plate prices matter, how re-rollable steel is valued, and why local demand, financing, currency, inventories, import pressure, and timing risk all influence the final recycling offer. The episode also explains why strong steel prices do not always lead to more vessels being sold for recycling. Freight markets, trading opportunities, seasonal timing, and owner strategy all play an important role in deciding whether a ship actually comes to market. For shipowners, brokers, financiers, traders, and maritime professionals, this episode offers a practical look at how recycling values are formed and why steel remains central to the global ship recycling market. Stay tuned to GMS Podcasts for more episodes of Inside the Markets covering ship recycling trends, trading flows and maritime market intelligence from key recycling and shipping hubs worldwide. Subscribe to the GMS Podcasts and follow GMS on LinkedIn for future updates and discussions.

(Valid through June 14th) This week, Dave returns from Alaska Comics Camp — https://minicon.alaskarobotics.com/comics-camp/ — with a glowing review of what he calls one of the most meaningful experiences of his professional life. He explains how the camp blends education, community, mentorship, and artistic growth in a remote setting that forces attendees to disconnect from technology and reconnect with one another. Along the way, Brad and Dave discuss what makes the camp special, the value of peer-to-peer learning, the recent panic over Kickstarter's updated NSFW guidelines, Eisner nominations, and the realities of pursuing recognition in comics. Alaska Comics Camp Alaska Robotics Comics Camp is a four-night creative retreat in the southeast Alaska rainforest for comics pros, visual storytellers, and adjacent creators — writers, game devs, filmmakers, journalists, musicians, and more. You have to apply to attend. It's not a standard “buy a badge and show up” event; accepted campers attend after the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con in Juneau.  Cost: Camp is listed at $800, which includes four nights of lodging, meals, and transportation to/from downtown Juneau. Financial aid is available, and asking for aid does not affect application review.  What to expect: workshops, presentations, peer conversations, campfires, board games, hanging out, and wandering through the woods and nearby ocean beach — basically “a professional development conference for people who don't like conference rooms.”  Comfort level: rustic but not brutal — heated cabins, bunk beds with mattresses, flushing toilets, hot showers, power outlets, meals, snacks, coffee/tea, towels, and comfort items are provided. There's no regular Wi-Fi or cell service at camp, though service is reachable by hike or ride.  How to participate next year: watch the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con / Comics Camp site and their social channels for the next application window. Recent camps have used an application process with deadlines months ahead of the event, so don't wait until spring to start looking. https://minicon.alaskarobotics.com/comics-camp/ Topics Covered A complete tour of Alaska Comics Camp and how it evolved from a small Juneau event into an international gathering of cartoonists School visits, library presentations, the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con, and the camp experience itself Why the lack of cell service is one of the camp's greatest strengths Classes taught by attendees on topics including storytelling, lettering, humor writing, character development, publishing, and business An NSFW-comics discussion that impressed Brad with the camp's openness and professionalism The importance of "Comics Rules" (similar to Chatham House Rules) in creating a safe environment for sharing industry information Real-world discussions of publishing contracts, agents, income, and career sustainability The anonymous income survey that helps attendees understand the wide range of successful cartooning careers Why Alaska Comics Camp has become one of Dave's favorite events in all of comics Stories from ComicLab listeners who attended camp after hearing about it on the podcast Dave's observations about Alaska's landscape, culture, and strong sense of community The tale of a failed camp water pump and Pat Race's MacGyver-level solution involving a distillery, a fire department, and a garden hose The viral misinformation claiming Kickstarter had banned pornography What Kickstarter's updated NSFW guidelines actually said Why Stripe — not Kickstarter — is the real concern for adult-content creators Brad's emergency solo Pro Tips episode explaining the new guidelines How creators can avoid overreacting to social-media panic cycles Listener feedback about what Brad and Dave's voices sound like to non-Americans Congratulations to friends of the show, including Ryan North, Glenn Fleishman, Tony Cliff, and Steve Lieber, on their Eisner nominations A discussion about award submissions, advocacy, and why creators must nominate themselves The realities of comics awards, including Eisners, Ringo Awards, Hugos, Reubens, and Ignatz Awards Whether award nominations come from changing your work — or simply years of steady improvement and persistence You get great rewards when you join the ComicLab Community on Patreon$2 — Early access to episodes$5 — Submit a question for possible use on the show AND get the exclusive ProTips podcast.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Phil and Will live from Todd Creek Golf Course. The guys react to the breaking news of the day in Sean Payton and the Broncos agreeing to a new 5-year contract extension. Will Payton get a pay raise in his new contract after all the success he's had in Denver the past few seasons? Does this rule out a future in which Davis Webb will be the head coach of the Broncos? Phil and Will continue to discuss Sean Payton's contract extension, and we hear from Sean on how great ownership has been here in Denver, and still being excited about football. We pivot to the Avalanche as Joe Sakic spoke today at the team's end-of-the-season press conference. We hear Sakic's thoughts on Jared Bednar returning for next season, even in the final year of his contract. Will Bednar get an extension before the next season starts? Will the Avs and Cale Makar agree on a contract extension this offseason? 

In hour 4 of The Drive, Phil and Will take a deep dive into the Broncos as they continue to work out at OTAs. We hear from Sean Payton about how his contract extension gives the players in the locker room consistency. What did Phil notice out at practice today? What did the guys make of Jahdae Barron not participating in team drills? Is Barron in line to take over as a starter in the secondary, or will it be another year of him being a depth piece? How much has Bo Nix been involved during practice? What did Sean Payton have to say about the Jonothan Cooper situation, and are we expecting the NFL to get involved? We react to the breaking news of the results of the Hart Trophy. Why did our guy, Nathan MacKinnon, finish in third behind Kucherov and McDavid? We wrap up the show with Zach Bye joining the show after completing his 100 holes today. 

In hour 2 of The Drive, Phil and Will take a deep dive into the Broncos as they continue to work out at OTAs. We hear from Sean Payton about how his contract extension gives the players in the locker room consistency. What did Phil notice at practice today? Why were JK Dobbins and Jonah Coleaman absent from practice today? Will we continue to see an uptick in production from Evan Engram in the offense this season after a slow start to his time in Denver? How much has Bo Nix been involved during practice? Today's "Three Count" includes our reaction to one of the greatest NBA Finals games in history in which the Knicks came back from down 29 to win on a miraculous OG Anunoby tip-in, the Rockies going for a sweep today after beating the Cubs in two straight games, and previewing the World Cup that started today. We hear from Sean Payton about how bringing in Jaylen Waddle lifts the entire receiving room. Who will step up and be the number three receiver behind Waddle and Sutton? 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Phil and Will react to Josh Kroenke explaining why the Avalanche and Nuggets are not in the same situation and why he is not treating their offseasons the same. Why is Josh much more involved with the Nuggets and not as much with the Avs? Could the Avalanche make a splashy trade this offseason that shakes up the core of the team? Would the Avs be able to recoup any assets in return for Val Nichuskin or Ross Colton? We react to the news of the day in Sean Payton and the Broncos agreeing to a new 5-year contract extension. We hear from Sean on how great ownership has been here in Denver, and wanting to coach until he stops being excited about football.  We pivot to the Avalanche as Joe Sakic spoke today at the team's end-of-the-season press conference. We hear Sakic's thoughts on Cale Makar's looming extension and the injuries the team suffered in the playoffs. 

With the release of some HUGE movies on this date we run down our Top Summer Blockbusters in Rank You Very Much, plus what happens when you're on the water and the fish decide to fight back? And World Cup fans from across the planet are baffled by Buc-ee's Waffle house and ranch dressing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sunny Verma from Locked On Illini joins the show to discuss why former Illinois star Keaton Wagler potentially landing with the Chicago Bulls could be an ideal situation for both sides.  The conversation also turns to the latest Illinois football and basketball recruiting developments as Bret Bielema and Brad Underwood continue building momentum on the recruiting trail. From quarterback commitments to basketball targets, we discuss the names Illini fans need to know. Later, we take a trip down memory lane and draft our Top 10 Players of the Tim Beckman Era at Illinois. Despite the struggles of those teams, several standout players emerged and left lasting marks on the program. Plus, listeners get introduced to the newest member of The Drive team as we welcome intern Quinn Flavin to the show! Follow The Drive on X, Instagram, and Facebook.

This time we talk about Brian Trenchard-Smith's 1986 post-apocalypse nightmare, Dead End Drive-In.

What happens when you can feel the passion coursing through your veins but the heartbeat of your direction drops to a murmur? That is the question I have been wrestling with recently. In this episode, I chose to be quietly gutsy and share a deeply personal reflection on how drift can quietly ebb into our lives whilst disguising itself as diligence, responsibility and even productivity. We explore the tension between drive and direction, the role of perfectionism, and why sustainable excellence feels far more liberating than chasing the illusive perfection. If you have ever felt busy but strangely stuck, this conversation may help you see your own journey from a different perspective.   Key Points

The discussion sparked by the Jackie Robinson patch card purchase evolves into a much larger conversation about money, risk, and the purpose of collecting. Are sports cards investments? Should collectors think about future value when making purchases? Is there ever a situation where going into debt for a card makes sense? Jeremy, David Chase, Chris McGill, and Joshua Adams explore the differences between collecting for enjoyment, collecting for financial gain, and the increasingly blurred line between the two. The result is one of the most spirited philosophical debates of the night. Sports cards is a lifestyle.

The Drive is Live The Sheik John Hodge joins the show. Tennessee baseball is working overtime.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil debate how much the latest snag with Denver water will impact the Broncos' chances of moving to Burnham Yard for the next site for their stadium. How confident are the guys in the organization's preferred site still being the most viable option? Will this set back the Broncos' timeline of wanting to open a new stadium in 2031? Will the Broncos be able to extend their lease at Empower Field if they aren't ready to move by 2031? Did Broncos ownership always know that building in the city of Denver would be too difficult? Who would be to blame if the Broncos aren't able to cross the finish line and build their stadium in Denver? We react to Bleacher Report's rankings of the top wide receiver rooms in the NFL. Where did the Broncos land on the list, and did they get "done dirty" with a low ranking? Who do the guys believe will be the Broncos' number three wide receiver? 

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross-talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss the scene in New York City after the Knicks' loss in Game 3 and how fans have taken it too far with the crime and violence in the streets. Zach and Phil discuss what they are looking for at Broncos OTAs this week. Will Evan Engram gain a larger role in the offense? We hear from Garrett Bolles and his love for Davis Webb. Are we prematurely appointing Webb as an elite play caller? We react to Bleacher Report's rankings of the top wide receiver rooms in the NFL. Where did the Broncos land on the list, and did they get "done dirty" with a low ranking? Who do the guys believe will be the Broncos' number three wide receiver? We preview tonight's massive Game 4 in the NBA Finals and react to the number of viewers Game 3 had.
