We're chatting cash following the release of Dundee United's annual accounts, with a near-£1m post-tax loss telling only half the story.  Turnover of £10.5 million, record commercial revenues, healthy wage-to-turnover ratio and a £350,000 provision to HMRC over the disputed R&D Tax case are among the major talking points.  Now, how do United take the next step towards bottom-line profitability?  On the pitch, we chew over the upcoming trip to Ibrox. Will Rangers have renewed resolve following the sacking of Russell Martin? Or can United take advantage of remaining fragility?  And the guys discuss what changes Jim Goodwin could make.    Across the road, Dundee are seeking their first victory over Celtic at Dens Park since Tommy Coyne's winner in 1988.   Will Sunday be that day?  What must improve if the Dark Blues are to stun Brendan Rodgers' champions? There are certainly selection dilemmas for Steven Pressley – only exacerbated by a couple of injury doubts.   And why a returning Cesar Garza SHOULD be a major boost for Dundee after shining against some global giants on U/20 World Cup duty. But will he get a chance?  Courier Sport reporter Alan Temple is joined by ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.  Twa Teams, One Street is proud to be supported by SPAR Scotland.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos 

Laura's back, and the panel dive into Celtic's upcoming clash with Dundee — and what Alistair Johnston's return could mean for a side still struggling for attacking rhythm. Alan lays bare the stats behind Celtic's faltering midfield and argues that January recruitment may be the only way out of the creativity slump. James dissects Hearts' surprising early form and explains why their numbers might flatter them, while also giving a level-headed look at the Rangers managerial circus. The team finish with an eye toward how Celtic can rediscover fluency and control against the league's weakest side.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

I'll often use these terms interchangeably to avoid repetition, but they describe two very different things. The main distinction: ski areas rise directly from parking lots edged by a handful of bunched utilitarian structures, while ski resorts push parking lots into the next zipcode to accommodate slopeside lodging and commerce.There are a lot more ski areas than ski resorts, and a handful of the latter present like the former, with accommodations slightly off-hill (Sun Valley) or anchored in a near-enough town (Bachelor). But mostly the distinction is clear, with the defining question being this: is this a mountain that people will travel around the world to ski, or one they won't travel more than an hour to ski?Arapahoe Basin occupies a strange middle. Nothing in the mountain's statistical profile suggests that it should be anything other than a Summit County locals hang. It is the 16th-largest ski area in Colorado by skiable acres, the 18th-tallest by lift-served vertical drop, and the eighth-snowiest by average annual snowfall. The mountain runs just six chairlifts and only two detachables. Beginner terrain is limited. A-Basin has no base area lodging, and in fact not much of a base area at all. Altitude, already an issue for the Colorado ski tourist, is amplified here, where the lifts spin from nearly 11,000 feet. A-Basin should, like Bridger Bowl in Montana (upstream from Big Sky) or Red River in New Mexico (across the mountain from Taos) or Sunlight in Colorado (parked between Aspen and I-70), be mostly unknown beside its heralded big-name neighbors (Keystone, Breck, Copper).And it sort of is, but also sort of isn't. Like tiny (826-acre) Aspen Mountain, A-Basin transcends its statistical profile. Skiers know it, seek it, travel for it, cross it off their lists like a snowy Eiffel Tower. Unlike Aspen, A-Basin has no posse of support mountains, no grided downtown spilling off the lifts, no Kleenex-level brand that stands in for skiing among non-skiers. And yet Vail tried buying the bump in 1997, and Alterra finally did in 2024. Meanwhile, nearby Loveland, bigger, taller, snowier, higher, easier to access with its trip-off-the-interstate parking lots, is still ignored by tourists and conglomerates alike.Weird. What explains A-Basin's pull? Onetime and future Storm guest Jackson Hogen offers, in his Snowbird Secrets book, an anthropomorphic explanation for that Utah powder dump's aura: As it turns out, everyone has a story for how they came to discover Snowbird, but no one knows the reason. Some have the vanity to think they picked the place, but the wisest know the place picked them.That is the secret that Snowbird has slipped into our subconscious; deep down, we know we were summoned here. We just have to be reminded of it to remember, an echo of the Platonic notion that all knowledge is remembrance. In the modern world we are so divorced from our natural selves that you would think we'd have lost the power to hear a mountain call us. And indeed we have, but such is the enormous reach of this place that it can still stir the last seed within us that connects us to the energy that surrounds us every day yet we do not see. The resonance of that tiny, vibrating seed is what brings us here, to this extraordinary place, to stand in the heart of the energy flow.Yeah I don't know, Man. We're drifting into horoscope territory here. But I also can't explain why we all like to do This Dumb Thing so much that we'll wrap our whole lives around it. So if there is some universe force, what Hogen calls “vibrations” from Hidden Peak's quartz, drawing skiers to Snowbird, could there also be some proton-kryptonite-laserbeam s**t sucking us all toward A-Basin? If there's a better explanation, I haven't found it.What we talked aboutThe Beach; keeping A-Basin's whole ski footprint open into May; Alterra buys the bump – “we really liked the way Alterra was doing things… and letting the resorts retain their identity”; the legacy of former owner Dream; how hardcore, no-frills ski area A-Basin fits into an Alterra portfolio that includes high-end resorts such as Deer Valley and Steamboat; “you'd be surprised how many people from out of state ski here too”; Ikon as Colorado sampler pack (or not); local reaction to Alterra's purchase – “I think it's fair that there was anxiety”; balancing the wild ski cycle of over-the-top peak days and soft periods; parking reservations; going unlimited on the full Ikon Pass and how parking reservations play in – “we spent a ridiculous amount of time talking about it”; the huge price difference between Epic and Ikon and how that factors into the access calculus; why A-Basin still sells a single-mountain season pass; whether reciprocal partnerships with Monarch and Silverton will remain in place; “I've been amazed at how few things I've been told to do” by Alterra; A-Basin's dirt-cheap early-season pass; why early season is “a more competitive time” than it used to be; why A-Basin left Mountain Collective; Justice Department anti-trust concerns around Alterra's A-Basin purchase – “it never was clear to me what the concerns were”; breaking down A-Basin's latest U.S. Forest Service masterplan – “everything in there, we hope to do”; a parking lot pulse gondola and why that makes sense over shuttles; why A-Basin plans a two-lift system of beginner machines; why should A-Basin care about beginner terrain?; is beginner development is related to Ikon Pass membership?; what it means that the MDP designs for 700 more skiers per day; assessing the Lenawee Express sixer three seasons in; why A-Basin sold the old Lenawee lift to independent Sunlight, Colorado; A-Basin's patrol unionizing; and 100 percent renewable energy.What I got wrong* I said that A-Basin was the only mountain that had been caught up in antitrust issues, but that's inaccurate: when S-K-I and LBO Enterprises merged into American Skiing Company in 1996, the U.S. Justice Department compelled the combined company to sell Cranmore and Waterville Valley, both in New Hampshire. Waterville Valley remains independent. Cranmore stayed independent for a while, and has since 2010 been owned by Fairbank Group, which also owns Jiminy Peak in Massachusetts and operates Bromley, Vermont.* I said that A-Basin's $259 early-season pass, good for unlimited access from opening day through Dec. 25, “was like one day at Vail,” which is sort of true and sort of not. Vail Mountain's day-of lift ticket will hit $230 from Nov. 14 to Dec. 11, then increase to $307 or $335 every day through Christmas. All Resorts Epic Day passes, which would get skiers on the hill for any of those dates, currently sell for between $106 and $128 per day. Unlimited access to Vail Mountain for that full early-season period would require a full Epic Pass, currently priced at $1,121.* This doesn't contradict anything we discussed, but it's worth noting some parking reservations changes that A-Basin implemented following our conversation. Reservations will now be required on weekends only, and from Jan. 3 to May 3, a reduction from 48 dates last winter to 36 for this season. The mountain will also allow skiers to hold four reservations at once, doubling last year's limit of two.Why now was a good time for this interviewOne of the most striking attributes of modern lift-served skiing is how radically different each ski area is. Panic over corporate hegemony power-stamping each child mountain into snowy McDonald's clones rarely survives past the parking lot. Underscoring the point is neighboring ski areas, all over America, that despite the mutually intelligible languages of trail ratings and patrol uniforms and lift and snowgun furniture, and despite sharing weather patterns and geologic origins and local skier pools, feel whole-cut from different eras, cultures, and imaginations. The gates between Alta and Snowbird present like connector doors between adjoining hotel rooms but actualize as cross-dimensional Mario warpzones. The 2.4-mile gondola strung between the Alpine Meadows and Olympic sides of Palisades Tahoe may as well connect a baseball stadium with an opera house. Crossing the half mile or so between the summits of Sterling at Smugglers' Notch and Spruce Peak at Stowe is a journey of 15 minutes and five decades. And Arapahoe Basin, elder brother of next-door Keystone, resembles its larger neighbor like a bat resembles a giraffe: both mammals, but of entirely different sorts. Same with Sugarbush and Mad River Glen, Vermont; Sugar Bowl, Donner Ski Ranch, and Boreal, California; Park City and Deer Valley, Utah; Killington and Pico, Vermont; Highlands and Nub's Nob, Michigan; Canaan Valley and Timberline and Nordic-hybrid White Grass, West Virginia; Aspen's four Colorado ski areas; the three ski areas sprawling across Mt. Hood's south flank; and Alpental and its clump of Snoqualmie sisters across the Washington interstate. Proximity does not equal sameness.One of The Storm's preoccupations is with why this is so. For all their call-to-nature appeal, ski areas are profoundly human creations, more city park than wildlife preserve. They are sculpted, managed, manicured. Even the wildest-feeling among them – Mount Bohemia, Silverton, Mad River Glen – are obsessively tended to, ragged by design.A-Basin pulls an even neater trick: a brand curated for rugged appeal, scaffolded by brand-new high-speed lifts and a self-described “luxurious European-style bistro.” That the Alterra Mountain Company-owned, megapass pioneer floating in the busiest ski county in the busiest ski state in America managed to retain its rowdy rap even as the onetime fleet of bar-free double chairs toppled into the recycling bin is a triumph of branding.But also a triumph of heart. A-Basin as Colorado's Alta or Taos or Palisades is a title easily ceded to Telluride or Aspen Highlands, similarly tilted high-alpiners. But here it is, right beside buffed-out Keystone, a misunderstood mountain with its own wild side but a fair-enough rap as an approachable landing zone for first-time Rocky Mountain explorers westbound out of New York or Ohio. Why are A-Basin and Keystone so different? The blunt drama of A-Basin's hike-in terrain helps, but it's more enforcer than explainer. The real difference, I believe, is grounded in the conductor orchestrating this mad dance.Since Henceroth sat down in the COO chair 20 years ago, Keystone has had nine president-general manager equivalents. A-Basin was already 61 years old in 2005, giving it a nice branding headstart on younger Keystone, born in 1970. But both had spent nearly two decades, from 1978 to 1997, co-owned by a dogfood conglomerate that often marketed them as one resort, and the pair stayed glued together on a multimountain pass for a couple of decades afterward.Henceroth, with support and guidance from the real-estate giant that owned A-Basin in the Ralston-Purina-to-Alterra interim, had a series of choices to make. A-Basin had only recently installed snowmaking. There was no lift access to Zuma Bowl, no Beavers. The lift system consisted of three double chairs and two triples. Did this aesthetic minimalism and pseudo-independence define A-Basin? Or did the mountain, shaped by the generations of leaders before Henceroth, hold some intangible energy and pull, that thing we recognize as atmosphere, culture, vibe? Would The Legend lose its duct-taped edge if it:* Expanded 400 mostly low-angle acres into Zuma Bowl (2007)* Joined Vail Resorts' Epic Pass (2009)* Installed the mountain's first high-speed lift (Black Mountain Express in 2010)* Expand 339 additional acres into the Beavers (2018), and service that terrain with an atypical-for-Colorado 1,501-vertical-foot fixed-grip lift* Exit the Epic Pass following the 2018-19 ski season* Immediately join Mountain Collective and Ikon as a multimountain replacement (2019)* Ditch a 21-year-old triple chair for the mountain's first high-speed six-pack (2022)* Sell to Alterra Mountain Company (2024)* Require paid parking reservations on high-volume days (2024)* Go unlimited on the Ikon Pass and exit Mountain Collective (2025)* Release an updated USFS masterplan that focuses largely on the novice ski experience (2025)That's a lot of change. A skier booted through time from Y2K to October 2025 would examine that list and conclude that Rad Basin had been tamed. But ski a dozen laps and they'd say well not really. Those multimillion upgrades were leashed by something priceless, something human, something that kept them from defining what the mountain is. There's some indecipherable alchemy here, a thing maybe not quite as durable as the mountain itself, but rooted deeper than the lift towers strung along it. It takes a skilled chemist to cook this recipe, and while they'll never reveal every secret, you can visit the restaurant as many times as you'd like.Why you should ski Arapahoe BasinWe could do a million but here are nine:1) $: Two months of early-season skiing costs roughly the same as A-Basin's neighbors charge for a single day. A-Basin's $259 fall pass is unlimited from opening day through Dec. 25, cheaper than a Dec. 20 day-of lift ticket at Breck ($281), Vail ($335), Beaver Creek ($335), or Copper ($274), and not much more than Keystone ($243). 2) Pali: When A-Basin tore down the 1,329-vertical-foot, 3,520-foot-long Pallavicini double chair, a 1978 Yan, in 2020, they replaced it with a 1,325-vertical-foot, 3,512-foot-long Leitner-Poma double chair. It's one of just a handful of new doubles installed in America over the past decade, underscoring a rare-in-modern-skiing commitment to atmosphere, experience, and snow preservation over uphill capacity. 3) The newest lift fleet in the West: The oldest of A-Basin's six chairlifts, Zuma, arrived brand-new in 2007.4) Wall-to-wall: when I flew into Colorado for a May 2025 wind-down, five ski areas remained open. Despite solid snowpack, Copper, Breck, and Winter Park all spun a handful of lifts on a constrained footprint. But A-Basin and Loveland still ran every lift, even over the Monday-to-Thursday timeframe of my visit.5) The East Wall: It's like this whole extra ski area. Not my deal as even skiing downhill at 12,500 feet hurts, but some of you like this s**t:6) May pow: I mean yeah I did kinda just get lucky but damn these were some of the best turns I found all year (skiing with A-Basin Communications Manager Shayna Silverman):7) The Beach: the best ski area tailgate in North America (sorry, no pet dragons allowed - don't shoot the messenger):8) The Beavers: Just glades and glades and glades (a little crunchy on this run, but better higher up and the following day):9) It's a ski area first: In a county of ski resorts, A-Basin is a parking-lots-at-the-bottom-and-not-much-else ski area. It's spare, sparse, high, steep, and largely exposed. Skiers are better at self-selecting than we suppose, meaning the ability level of the average A-Basin skier is more Cottonwoods than Connecticut. That impacts your day in everything from how the liftlines flow to how the bumps form to how many zigzaggers you have to dodge on the down.Podcast NotesOn the dates of my visit We reference my last A-Basin visit quite a bit – for context, I skied there May 6 and 7, 2025. Both nice late-season pow days.On A-Basin's long seasonsIt's surprisingly difficult to find accurate open and close date information for most ski areas, especially before 2010 or so, but here's what I could cobble together for A-Basin - please let me know if you have a more extensive list, or if any of this is wrong:On A-Basin's ownership timelineArapahoe Basin probably gets too much credit for being some rugged indie. Ralston-Purina, then-owners of Keystone, purchased A-Basin in 1978, then added Breckenridge to the group in 1993 before selling the whole picnic basket to Vail in 1997. The U.S. Justice Department wouldn't let the Eagle County operator have all three, so Vail flipped Arapahoe to a Canadian real estate empire, then called Dundee, some months later. That company, which at some point re-named itself Dream, pumped a zillion dollars into the mountain before handing it off to Alterra last year.On A-Basin leaving Epic PassA-Basin self-ejected from Epic Pass in 2019, just after Vail maxed out Colorado by purchasing Crested Butte and before they fully invaded the East with the Peak Resorts purchase. Arapahoe Basin promptly joined Mountain Collective and Ikon, swapping unlimited-access on four varieties of Epic Pass for limited-days products. Henceroth and I talked this one out during our 2022 pod, and it's a fascinating case study in building a better business by decreasing volume.On the price difference between Ikon and Epic with A-Basin accessConcerns about A-Basin hurdling back toward the overcrowded Epic days by switching to Ikon's unlimited tier tend to overlook this crucial distinction: Vail sold a 2018-19 version of the Epic Pass that included unlimited access to Keystone and A-Basin for an early-bird rate of $349. The full 2025-26 Ikon Pass debuted at nearly four times that, retailing for $1,329, and just ramped up to $1,519.On Alterra mountains with their own season passesWhile all Alterra-owned ski areas (with the exception of Deer Valley), are unlimited on the full Ikon Pass and nine are unlimited with no blackouts on Ikon Base, seven of those sell their own unlimited season pass that costs less than Base. The sole unlimited season pass for Crystal, Mammoth, Palisades Tahoe, Steamboat, Stratton, and Sugarbush is a full Ikon Pass, and the least-expensive unlimited season pass for Solitude is the Ikon Base. Deer Valley leads the nation with its $4,100 unlimited season pass. See the Alterra chart at the top of this article for current season pass prices to all of the company's mountains.On A-Basin and Schweitzer pass partnershipsAlterra has been pretty good about permitting its owned ski areas to retain historic reciprocal partners on their single-mountain season passes. For A-Basin, this means three no-blackout days at Monarch and two unguided days at Silverton. Up at Schweitzer, passholders get three midweek days each at Whitewater, Mt. Hood Meadows, Castle Mountain, Loveland, and Whitefish. None of these ski areas are on Ikon Pass, and the benefit is only stapled to A-Basin- or Schweitzer-specific season passes.On the Mountain Collective eventI talk about Mountain Collective as skiing's most exclusive country club. Nothing better demonstrates that characterization than this podcast I recorded at the event last fall, when in around 90 minutes I had conversations with the top leaders of Boyne Resorts, Snowbird, Aspen, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Snowbasin, Grand Targhee, and many more.On Mountain Collective and Ikon overlapThe Mountain Collective-Ikon overlap is kinda nutso:On Pennsylvania skiingIn regards to the U.S. Justice Department grilling Alterra on its A-Basin acquisition, it's still pretty stupid that the agency allowed Vail Resorts to purchase eight of the 19 public chairlift-served ski areas in Pennsylvania without a whisper of protest. These eight ski areas almost certainly account for more than half of all skier visits in a state that typically ranks sixth nationally for attendance. Last winter, the state's 2.6 million skier visits accounted for more days than vaunted ski states New Hampshire (2.4 million), Washington (2.3), Montana (2.2), Idaho (2.1). or Oregon (2.0). Only New York (3.4), Vermont (4.2), Utah (6.5), California (6.6), and Colorado (13.9) racked up more.On A-Basin's USFS masterplanNothing on the scale of Zuma or Beavers inbound, but the proposed changes would tap novice terrain that has always existed but never offered a good access point for beginners:On pulse gondolasA-Basin's proposed pulse gondola, should it be built, would be just the sixth such lift in America, joining machines at Taos, Northstar, Steamboat, Park City, and Snowmass. Loon plans to build a pulse gondola in 2026.On mid-mountain beginner centersBig bad ski resorts have attempted to amp up family appeal in recent years with gondola-serviced mid-mountain beginner centers, which open gentle, previously hard-to-access terrain to beginners. This was the purpose of mid-stations off Jackson Hole's Sweetwater Gondola and Big Sky's new-for-this-year Explorer Gondola. A-Basin's gondy (not the parking lot pulse gondola, but the one terminating at Sawmill Flats in the masterplan image above), would provide up and down lift access allowing greenies to lap the new detach quad above it.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's last several days have been a whirlwind of public delight, surprise business moves, and the kind of headline-grabbing escapades that have kept him in the pop culture conversation for more than a decade. According to The Scotsman and The Mirror, Bieber descended on Scotland at the start of October for the Dunhill Links golf tournament in St Andrews but promptly made the trip an event in itself. The sight of one of the world's biggest superstars dancing with fans in Dundee pubs and posing for photos in a woolly hat, pint in one hand and smile on his face, quickly went viral. Social media was peppered with videos and comments from stunned locals: “Spending my Saturday night with Justin Bieber in Dundee was not on my 2025 bingo card” became the viral sentiment of the hour. Fans and pub staff alike agreed—he wasn't posturing as a global superstar, he was genuinely vibing with everyday Scots. Chelsey McQuillan's TikTok showing him dancing at Abandon Ship bar racked up hundreds of thousands of views, while Instagram documentation of his golf outings, windswept hair, and sunset beer runs only fueled the “Justin goes native” narrative.But this was not just about fun and alcohol. According to The Mirror and RTE News, he filmed and rapidly dropped an impromptu music video for his new single “Bad Honey” at Abandon Ship—directed by his longtime creative partner Rory Kramer—a project praised both for its spontaneous energy and for its local flavor. Absent from this Scottish adventure was his wife Hailey, who has been busy making headlines of her own after selling her Rhode beauty line for a reported $1 billion; Forbes pegs her personal net worth at around $300 million. Bieber, meanwhile, seemed content to focus on his art, his friends, his fans, and the moment.The week also brought milestone business news; People and TMZ confirmed that Bieber and his former manager Scooter Braun reached a $31.5 million financial settlement after a protracted dispute involving commissions, debts, and the fallout from Bieber's canceled Justice tour. This ties up a chapter that included Bieber's headline-making $200 million music catalog sale in 2022 and the end of his professional relationship with Braun after more than fifteen years together. The split is notable—Braun was key to Bieber's early supernova rise, but told host Steven Bartlett that “there comes a point where he probably wants to go on and show that he can do it”—and so far, Bieber seems to be thriving creatively on his own. Press Association confirms his musical return this year with two new albums, Swag and Swag II, his first full-length releases in four years.The pop icon also landed headline billing at Coachella 2025, which was just made official by organizers this week. Bieber will headline alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G in what is billed as the most diverse and star-packed lineup in years.His current social media output radiates happiness, camaraderie, and freedom, suggesting that, after a turbulent few years both personally and professionally, Bieber is settling comfortably into a new—and possibly much more sustainable—chapter of superstardom. There have been speculative reports about past financial worries prompting his catalog sale, and some sources hint at personal struggles, but the dominant headline is clear: in pubs, on the links, atop the world's biggest festival stages, Justin Bieber is showing the world that his story—and possibly his best work—is still being written.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has just reemerged in a major way after a relatively quiet period and the past few days have seen a swirl of headlines and speculation about both his business and personal life. According to multiple outlets including People and RTÉ, Bieber surprised fans by filming an impromptu music video in Dundee, Scotland for his new single Bad Honey. The video, which captures him wandering around an empty local pub called Abandon Ship while drinking beer and reflecting alongside a mirror with the phrase Not everything sucks, has already racked up over 120,000 likes on his Instagram. The surprise drop is part of Bieber's broader return to music following a four year break. Bad Honey is from his latest album Swag II, which along with its prequel Swag, signals not just new music but reportedly a new era for Bieber in terms of style and tone. The video was shot by his longtime collaborator Rory Kramer, with the two reportedly editing it together on a flight home from Scotland. Local bar staff in Dundee described Bieber as kind and down to earth, taking time to chat with employees and guests before filming.Meanwhile, there is major business news. People reports that Bieber and his former manager Scooter Braun have reached a $31.5 million settlement to resolve a financial dispute connected to concert advances and unpaid commissions. This resolves issues stemming from Bieber's 2022 Justice tour and the massive $200 million sale of his music catalog in late 2022, a move initially speculated—per a May 2025 documentary—to be motivated by financial strain after tour cancellations. While neither Bieber nor his representatives have commented directly on this, the financial settlement could mark an inflection point in his business dealings, especially as he moves forward with his seventh album Swag and his new fashion brand SKYLRK, both announced alongside news of his settlement.Bieber has also been photographed enjoying downtime in Scotland, golfing at iconic courses like St Andrews. On social media, there's been buzz both for and against his new material, with Perez Hilton on YouTube describing the new music video as both a bop and cringe-inducing, fueling further debate about Bieber's current state and direction. There is fan interest in his evolving relationship with wife Hailey Bieber after recent reports in People highlighted ongoing challenges but insisted they remain committed to each other, calling each other soulmates. Overall, this week marks Justin Bieber's most significant public and career resurgence this year, set against the backdrop of major personal milestones and business resets.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The ladies discuss the lure of Labubu and the rise of "rightwing nihilism."

FIVE NEW businesses to INSPIRE On this episode of Join Up Dots, we dive deep into the world of side hustles and the extraordinary power of simply starting where you are. Sometimes the hardest part isn't skill, money, or opportunity—it's just believing that action will actually lead somewhere. And over the past few months, listeners of this very show have been proving that point with stories that show what's possible when you take an idea and put it into motion. It all began with a simple suggestion: try selling on Facebook Marketplace. It's a place most of us scroll past without thinking too much, but it's also a treasure trove of hidden value. People give things away for free, or at rock-bottom prices, just to get rid of them. And with a bit of imagination, elbow grease, and courage, those things can be turned into income. This episode is filled with the real voices of listeners who heard that advice, tried it for themselves, and discovered just how powerful that one step can be. Take Daniel from Stockport. He never thought side hustles were for him. He worked full time, listened to podcasts, but never acted. Then he heard me talk about broken running machines. People were leaving treadmills out on the curb or listing them online for free, just wanting them gone. That sparked something. Daniel collected one, tinkered with the belt and fuse, and suddenly he had a working machine. He sold it within days for £150. What's remarkable isn't just the money, but the ripple effect. That one sale showed him he wasn't trapped by his day job—he could create value out of nothing. Since then, he's flipped six machines and is building confidence with every sale. Yes, his garage is bursting at the seams, but he's also bursting with momentum. Then there's Rebecca from Melbourne. She's a mum of two who saw an opportunity in toys. She knew from experience how expensive they can be, and how quickly children outgrow them. So she started small with a $20 box of LEGO, cleaned it, sorted it, and turned it into $90 within a week. That snowballed into trampolines, ride-on cars, and playhouses—items people considered junk but that parents snapped up once they were cleaned. Rebecca's had her share of headaches: people not showing up, muddy items needing endless scrubbing, the grind of haggling. But she's now making $300 a week just from flipping toys, proving that side hustles don't need to start big to be impactful. Andre in Bucharest took a different path. He didn't have money to invest, but he had time and determination. He picked up free furniture, sanded it, painted it, and sold it on. A battered wooden dining table turned into £95 profit. Old IKEA cabinets, given new handles and a fresh coat of paint, brought in £180. For Andre, the challenge has been transport—scratched car interiors and the stress of moving bulky furniture—but the reward has been discovering confidence. People loved what he created, and they paid for the uniqueness of an “upcycled” piece. His story reminds us that the barrier isn't resources, it's mindset. Meanwhile, Sarah in Toronto was drowning in kids' clothes, an everyday reality for parents. Instead of donating them like usual, she bundled them into age and season groups and sold them online. They sold within a day. That was the turning point. She reached out to other parents, gathered bags of clothes, and suddenly had more stock than she could handle. The living room looked like a charity shop explosion, but the money started to flow. Last month, she made just under $800, enough to pay down a lingering credit card debt. For Sarah, the issue has been organisation, space, and time. But she realised parents were buying not just clothes—they were buying convenience. She had solved a problem for people, and in doing so, she had solved one of her own. And finally, Colin in Dundee. He thought side hustles were too much hassle, having failed with others before. But when he spotted how many garden tools were being discarded—lawnmowers, strimmers, pressure washers—he decided to take the leap. A petrol mower that wouldn't start cost him a £4 spark plug to repair, and he sold it for £85. Two broken pressure washers bought for £10 each became one working unit that sold for £120, plus spare parts sold separately. The struggles have been messy: mud, oil, endless haggling, and a driveway cluttered with tools. Yet three months in, he's earned nearly £1,000. More importantly, he's regained a sense of purpose. What was once just junk has become a way to prove to himself that he can still create, build, and grow. What all these stories have in common is that they didn't start with grand business plans, large investments, or polished strategies. They started with ordinary people listening to an idea on Join Up Dots and daring to test it. Each person faced their own setbacks: space problems, unreliable buyers, transportation headaches, or sheer lack of confidence. But each one also found a way through. And in finding that way through, they discovered something even more valuable than the money—they discovered belief in themselves. That's the heart of this episode. You don't need to know everything in advance. You don't need to start perfectly. You just need to start. Whether it's a broken treadmill, a pile of LEGO, an old wardrobe, a bag of clothes, or a muddy lawnmower, there's always an opportunity waiting if you're willing to look at it differently. So as you listen, think about what's sitting right in front of you. What's lying around your house unused? What do people in your community throw away without thinking? The stories shared today prove that taking action—any action—is worth more than overthinking the perfect plan. And here's where you can play your part. If these stories have inspired you, if they've made you rethink what's possible for you, then share this episode. Spread it with your friends, family, and anyone who needs that spark of belief. Use the hashtags #JoinUpDots #SideHustleStories #MarketplaceSuccess to keep the conversation moving. Every share might be the nudge that helps someone else see what they're capable of.
