Meet Jeremy Hill, Co-Founder and CEO of Arcana — a next generation nature resort complete with seasonally immersive science-based experiences that help guests feel nature's true restorative powers. In this return episode, Jeremy shares what's changed (and what hasn't), plus Arcana's biggest leap yet: a newly acquired 56-acre property that gives the brand the zoning, septic capacity, and infrastructure required to scale — without diluting the Arcana promise. In this conversation, Jeremy and I discuss: How Arcana performed in the real world after launch (and why the early guests helped propel the waitlist) What the team learned from the pilot site — from cabin entrances and guest flow to privacy, operability, and experience design The truth about “tiny cabins” and how Arcana thinks about unit size, outdoor space, and central amenities What Jeremy's acquisition checklist looks like (proximity to a major city, the right zoning, and why septic is everything) How Arcana is repositioning an existing, cash-flowing resort with seven cottages and two houses into an Arcana-level experience Brand strategy: how to expand into new sites while still honoring the flagship brand promise (and when a sub-brand might make sense) How Jeremy is weighing construction loan options (traditional bank vs private lender) and the realities of taking on debt in Canada The longer-term vision: Arcana across North America, what an exit could look like, and why consistency is the superpower in experiential hospitality Arcana is targeting a summer 2027 opening for the fully repositioned property.

Kristen Jensen, founder of Defend Young Minds and author of Good Pictures Bad Pictures, talks with Sissy and David about why parents need to start conversations about pornography early—ideally as soon as kids have access to screens. She explains how porn often finds kids through friends' devices, social media, apps, and even AI, and why proactive, calm conversations help build an “internal filter” that tech safeguards alone can't provide. Kristen also addresses the link between pornography, addiction, and rising child-on-child harmful behavior, and offers practical steps for parents if exposure happens: stay calm, make a plan, keep talking, and remember that porn is the problem—not your child.

Revitalizing Private Practice: Strategic Medical Marketing with Laura WoodardIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge speaks with Laura Woodard, the Founder of Grass Roots Medical Marketing, about the intensifying pressures facing independent physicians today. With corporate consolidation and administrative burdens causing an exodus of private practitioners, Laura shares her thirty years of expertise to help doctors reclaim their local authority and compete effectively with hospital-owned entities. This conversation provides a high-level roadmap for healthcare providers to bridge the gap between their clinical excellence and their digital presence, ensuring they can reach the patients who need their specialized care most.The Foundational Pillars of Patient Acquisition and RetentionSuccess in the modern medical landscape requires moving beyond traditional word-of-mouth and establishing a digital infrastructure that functions as a 24/7 patient advocate. Laura explains that a private practice's digital "front door" consists of three non-negotiable elements: a high-performing, mobile-optimized website, fully claimed and consistent online profiles, and a proactive strategy for review management. Because a staggering percentage of patients consult reviews and search results before booking, an outdated website or an incomplete Google Business Profile isn't just a minor oversight—it is a direct barrier to growth. By optimizing these touchpoints, doctors can signal credibility and accessibility, turning passive searchers into loyal patients before they even step into the office.Beyond the digital interface, the "second front door" of any practice is the front desk staff, whose interactions often dictate the tone of the entire patient experience. Laura emphasizes that marketing doesn't end when a lead is generated; it continues through every phone call and check-in procedure. High-performing practices invest in customer service training for their administrative teams, ensuring that empathy and efficiency are prioritized as much as clinical outcomes. This holistic approach ensures that the promises made by the practice's marketing are consistently fulfilled by the staff, protecting the provider's reputation and fostering a culture that naturally generates positive online feedback.For busy practitioners who are already balancing patient care with administrative duties, the transition to strategic marketing can feel overwhelming without a systematic framework. Laura introduces the "GRASS Formula"—Gauge, Recognize, Accelerate, Support, and Success—as a data-driven method to diagnose marketing weaknesses and implement sustainable improvements. By auditing website speed, heat-mapping user behavior, and automating review requests, doctors can move from a reactive "do-it-yourself" struggle to a proactive, "done-for-you" growth model. This shift allows physicians to focus on their primary mission of healing while a team of specialists manages the complexities of SEO, social media, and reputation management.About Laura Woodard:Laura Woodard is the Founder of Grass Roots Medical Marketing and a seasoned marketing strategist with over three decades of experience. Driven by her personal journey as a caregiver and her deep respect for the physician-patient relationship, she specializes in helping private practice doctors survive and thrive in an increasingly corporate healthcare environment.About Grass Roots Medical Marketing: Grass Roots Medical Marketing is a full-service marketing agency dedicated exclusively to supporting private practice physicians and small medical groups.

In this episode of The Root of All Success, Jason Duncan sits down with Diane Canada, national TV commentator, podcast host, speaker, and author of the Lady Up America series. After losing her brother to the invisible wounds of war from Afghanistan, Diane ran for TN State House, launched a national training movement for Christian women, and appeared on Newsmax, News Nation, and Fox News.

How music, entrepreneurship, and politics all prepared her for cultural leadership Her upcoming book Lady Up in These Last Days releasing Spring 2026 If you're searching for purpose beyond profit, want to lead with faith in a hostile culture, or need to know how to influence without confrontation — this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about Christian leadership in America today.

#119.Josh sits down with regulars Matthew and Michael Jacober, along with special guest Eli Feldman, a Boston-based restaurateur and AI advocate. The group dives into a wide-ranging conversation that starts with the prestige of 17th-generation winemaking and quickly shifts into the high-stakes world of modern hospitality. They explore the Noma pop-up in LA, debating whether a $1,500-a-head experience funded by American Express is a genuine culinary event or a "state of mind" marketed for brand clout.Eli shares a fascinating deep dive into his "Bite" and "Fails" philosophies, detailing how he used AI to analyze kitchen line movements and KDS data to slash ticket times by 75%. The conversation takes a serious turn as the group shares legal war stories involving real estate disputes, blood on the walls, and the emotional complexities of employee-employer breakups. They close with a sobering look at the "Barbell Economy"—the disappearance of mid-tier restaurants in favor of private equity-backed groups and the impending wave of white-collar workers entering the hospitality industry out of necessity.Links and resources

California, once a powerhouse of domestic energy production, now finds itself increasingly reliant on foreign fuel sources. Driven by stringent environmental regulations and policies that have led to the closure of numerous refineries, the state is now importing fuel to meet its energy demands. This shift raises critical questions about energy independence and the true cost of California's climate initiatives. Is this a sustainable path forward, or are these policies undermining the state's energy security and driving up costs for consumers? We explore the implications of California's energy policies and their impact on the state's economy and its citizens. It's time to examine the facts and ask: Are California's green dreams turning into an energy nightmare?

Selina Boyd, international editor of The Good Schools Guide, reveals what actually matters when parents choose schools for their children. With over a decade reviewing international schools and more than 1,600 schools assessed worldwide, Selina explains why authentic leadership isn't about what leaders say about themselves, but what parents and students say about them. This conversation challenges school leaders to rethink how they communicate their school's story in an era where parents are savvy researchers who trust other parents more than polished marketing materials. You'll learn the specific moments that signal whether students are genuinely thriving, from children running up to show their work to sixth formers who can articulate why they chose your school. Selina shares practical examples of authentic school storytelling, including how one international school used Instagram reels to connect with future students in a way that felt genuine rather than contrived. If you're trying to build trust with prospective families whilst navigating social media and modern parent expectations, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on letting others tell your school's story.

The first American edition was published in April 1848 by Harper & Brothers of New York. After Emily's death, Charlotte edited a second edition of Wuthering Heights, which was published in 1850.Though contemporaneous reviews were polarised, Wuthering Heights has come to be considered one of the greatest novels written in English. It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, including domestic abuse, and for its challenges to Victorian morality, religion, and the class system. It has inspired an array of adaptations across several types of media.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:29 UTC on Monday, 16 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Wuthering Heights on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kimberly.

The cross of Christ drives us to pick up our own crosses daily and follow Him, to have a heart of compassion in the face of great suffering, and to outrageous forgiveness as we have been forgiven. (Luke 23:26-34)

In this episode of The Wrap, Chris Whalen argues that the AI narrative is stalling and we're witnessing a sustained rotation from tech, AI, and crypto into safer, income-generating stocks. Chris points out that JPMorgan — arguably the best-run bank in America — has fallen from the top of his rankings to 87th place in just six months, a dramatic shift showing managers are rotating into smaller cap names. He describes this as a "manic, momentum-driven market" where the extraordinary gains of 2025 are now being given back. Chris is skeptical of both the AI and crypto narratives, calling them "driven by Wall Street hype," and notes that crypto is suffering specifically because the AI story has broken down. For 2026, he advises looking for safety and income rather than growth, remains long gold and silver despite volatility, and cautions that "this year is going to be a much more difficult year" for most sectors. On housing and the Fed, Chris lays out what Kevin Warsh and Scott Besant must do: swap the Fed's $2 trillion MBS portfolio to Treasury, restructure low-coupon securities into CMOs, and bury them in insurance company balance sheets to unlock the housing market.Links:    The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/  Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen    Website: https://www.rcwhalen.com/   Timestamps:0:00 Welcome and intro 01:00 AI narrative stalling, tech's worst week since November 1:59 Is this a healthy correction or something bigger? 4:58 JPMorgan now ranks 87th — what does that tell you? 6:36 Small caps rule right now — managers rotating to safety 7:30 What does it mean if managers won't own the best bank in America?8:30 The link between crypto and AI 11:32 Chris is skeptical of both AI and crypto narratives 11:57 What's the next legitimate growth story for the US? 13:15 All that trapped private equity capital in tech 14:55 Fannie and Freddie earnings — but where's the growth? 17:00 What Warsh and Bessent need to do to fix housing 19:00 Should the Fed engage in fiscal issues? 21:54 The Fed's real mandate — keeping the Treasury market open 23:00 What should Warsh do with the MBS on the balance sheet? 24:58 Why we haven't seen a typical crash cycle 26:17 What's the trade for 2026?

From leading R&D at a biotech startup company to conducting environmental monitoring for NASA, Veronica Garcia, Ph.D., Scientific Director of the ASM Applied and Environmental Microbiology unit shares how experiences throughout her career have informed her appreciation for microbes and their real-world applications. She also discusses how the ASM AEM unit will support scientists around the globe by fostering collaboration and advocating for scientific advancements in areas like climate change, water systems and food production. Ashley's Biggest Takeaways Prior to her role as Scientific Director for ASM Applied and Environmental Microbiology unit, Garcia was Senior Director of R&D at Boost Biomes, a biotech startup focused on bio-pesticides and bio-fertilizers. Garcia's passion for microbiology began studying soil remediation at Texas A&M University. Seeing microbes under the microscope for the first time felt like discovering "another world," sparking a lifelong fascination with what microbes are and can do. Driven by a desire to see her science make an immediate impact, Garcia was drawn to industry after completing her Ph.D. At Boost Biomes, a biotech startup company, Veronica helped transform diverse microbial isolates into bio-pesticides, bio-fertilizers and bio-stimulants for agriculture and food. She progressed from bench scientist to senior Director of R&D, overseeing discovery, genomics, bioinformatics and product development, and learned the realities of scale-up, cost, regulation and end-user needs. She also monitored air, water and surfaces for the shuttle and ISS and NASA, ensuring astronaut safety by tracking microbial loads and potential pathogens. ASM is organizing around 3 scientific units, ASM Applied and Environmental Microbiology (AEM), ASM Health and ASM Mechanism Discovery. These units will equip researchers to translate discovery into impact while providing a forum to collectively shape the future of the field. The AEM unit provides the space and unique expertise for microbial scientists and partners to directly contribute to a healthier, more sustainable world through applied and environmental innovation and brings together experts whose work connects microbial processes to outcomes in ecosystems, infrastructure, food systems and planetary health.

At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Zack Schwartz, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Trustifi, joined Doug Green to discuss a critical but often overlooked reality: while AI dominates headlines, email remains the primary attack vector for cybercrime. Trustifi delivers a full-suite email security platform purpose-built for MSPs, enabling easy deployment, centralized management, and advanced protection against next-generation AI-driven phishing attacks. Schwartz emphasized that over 91% of cyberattacks still originate from inbound email—and the sophistication of those attacks has grown dramatically with AI tools. “Cyber criminals are leveraging AI to create extremely nuanced attacks,” he explained. Trustifi addresses this by combining high-efficacy inbound phishing detection with innovative AI-driven training tools. One standout feature allows MSPs to convert a real phishing attack into customized security awareness training, generating targeted video content based on an incident that actually occurred within a customer's environment. A key differentiator is Trustifi's “journal-only mode,” which allows MSPs to deploy the platform without interrupting live email flow. The system produces a full report showing how Trustifi would have responded to threats, creating what Schwartz described as a powerful “aha moment” for customers. According to Trustifi, this approach converts over 80% of opportunities and requires only minutes to set up—at no cost to the partner or end client. Beyond inbound threats, Trustifi also addresses outbound risk and compliance requirements, including HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, and broader data loss prevention (DLP) concerns. Many organizations underestimate how much sensitive information leaves their network via email. “It's a big issue of not knowing what you don't know,” Schwartz said, highlighting how classification and encryption tools expose hidden vulnerabilities. With no minimum requirements, free NFR licenses for MSPs, and strong momentum away from legacy email gateways, Trustifi is positioning itself as a high-margin opportunity within the channel. The message to MSPs: start internally, see the exposure firsthand, and then extend protection across your customer base. Visit https://trustifi.com/

Fear rarely announces itself. It doesn't walk into your life yelling. It whispers. It sounds logical. Responsible. Even wise. But underneath, it's often just a negative imagined future—a story your mind is telling you that hasn't happened and may never happen. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface unpack how fear actually works—and why so many people don't even recognize when they're operating in it. Fear often begins with a subtle focus on lack or negativity, which grows into doubt and eventually becomes paralysis. The conversation identifies three of the most common fears that quietly shape decisions:Fear of the Unknown → Robs you of purpose by demanding certainty God never promised.Fear of Loss → Keeps you from sowing, risking, and stewarding what God has given you.Fear of Failure → Distorts identity and keeps you performing for approval instead of living from it.Garrett and Nick explain how the human brain is wired for survival, constantly imagining worst-case scenarios—but that same creative power can be redirected toward faith, growth, and what's possible.This episode is a call to recognize fear for what it is, stop letting imagined futures dictate present obedience, and step into the life God is actually inviting you to live. Because most of the time, the thing stealing your future isn't real. It's just believed.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

In this episode from the Inch360 Conference, cybersecurity expert Heather Stratford explores how AI is revolutionizing phishing attacks and social engineering tactics. She breaks down the rapid adoption of AI—with ChatGPT reaching 100 million users in just two months—and explains how criminals are weaponizing machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing to create highly personalized, sophisticated attacks.Stratford examines real-world breaches including the MGM hack and a $25 million deepfake Zoom scam, demonstrating how attackers combine voice impersonation, social engineering, and AI-generated content to bypass traditional security measures. She reveals the shocking accessibility of cybercrime tools, with AI-powered phishing kits available for just $20.The episode emphasizes that once-a-year security training is no longer sufficient. Stratford advocates for weekly micro-learning sessions, monthly phishing simulations, and role-specific training—especially for executives, accounting teams, and anyone with financial access. She stresses that while technology defenses are important, the human element remains the most vulnerable layer, making continuous employee education critical in the AI-driven threat landscape.

Today, Beneil is just as bold about his faith as he is in the cage.This episode is a powerful testimony of what it looks like to lay everything down for Christ—no matter the cost.
