Send us a message!Condo-hotels and resort-style properties sit in a tricky middle ground. They are not traditional hotels, but they are not quite vacation rentals either. Many still run on hotel tech stacks, charge hotel-style commissions, and operate with hotel-era assumptions.Meanwhile, guests are increasingly searching on vacation rental channels, homeowners are asking why they cannot find their units online, and off-site managers charging half the commission are pulling inventory away. In our February First-of-the-Month bonus episode, we sit down with Emmanuel Lavoie, CEO of Jetstream, to unpack why so many condo-hotels and resort operators still resist distribution on channels like Airbnb and Vrbo, what it really takes to service this category well, and how AI is starting to reshape channel management.Episode Chapters:01:17 - Leaving a 10-year engineering career for travel tech03:33 - How a Canadian OTA accidentally became a channel manager9:43 - Why resorts still hesitate to embrace Airbnb and Vrbo12:00 - What full-service channel management actually includes13:42 - Why a $10 billion company chose service over cheaper tech15:18 - Off-site managers are winning the homeowner battle16:56 - The challenge of selling non-unique inventory on Airbnb24:12 - Why one listing with 300 reviews beats 50 identical listings30:42 - Building an AI-powered guest communication system35:27 - Using AI for listing content creation at scale38:21 - Empowering frontline teams as AI champions42:09 - The human side of AI disruption44:02 - Where Jetstream is heading nextConnect with Emmanuel:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmanuel-lavoie-5b89b924/ Website: https://jetstreamtech.io/ ✨ Exclusive Offer to Alex & Annie Listeners:Streamline your short-term rental operations with Hostfully.Mention the Alex & Annie Podcast when you sign up and get free onboarding ($1000 value).

Ann Brensley is recognized for her focus on parental involvement and educational policy reform, emphasizing the importance of family values in governance.

They address parental rights, transparency in education, and the role of schools in students’ personal development. The episode explores the growing concern about inappropriate content and lack of parental opt-in, how mental health issues in youth are addressed, and the importance of moral courage among parents advocating for their children’s safety.

On this episode, our hosts, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and Citizen Co-founder Larry Platt, invite onto the show a new friend from the Citizen's recent Ideas We Should Steal Festival. Matthew Tuerk is a wicked skater. He's a punk-rocking tattoo connoisseur. He's a marathoner, and the popular second-term mayor of Allentown, PA who has made it his mission to bring back his city's manufacturing success. "This guy is a fanatic about economic development," said Platt. "He's turned Allentown into Pennsylvania's third-fastest growing city." "We had this idea that you could still make stuff in cities," Tuerk replied. "Soot and smog-filled cities are not what the future of manufacturing looks like. Manufacturing needs people. It needs good, high-paying jobs. There are a lot of folks that came to Allentown looking to tap into the American Dream. Empowering people should be our motivation." Then Platt prompted Tuerk to show off his unique Allentown flair. "I have the city seal tattooed on my chest," Tuerk declared, unfastening a few buttons on his shirt. "That's commitment," Nutter said with a laugh. Join us for an entertaining and informative episode about a city with its first Latino mayor "restoring a little bit of faith in the power of government to actually meet people's needs."

Almost 80% of women will experience weight gain as they enter perimenopause and menopause, and what makes it even worse is that the strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s stop working entirely. I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this solo episode, I'm breaking down the exact science behind why menopause destroys your metabolism, why eating more protein first could actually be making things worse, and the precise order of operations you need to follow to reverse metabolic dysfunction and lose visceral fat - the dangerous fat underneath your abdominal muscle that increases your risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This isn't about eating less and moving more. This is about understanding the deep mechanistic disruptions happening in your mitochondria, insulin signaling, liver function, and fat cell biology during menopause, and using science-backed strategies in the right sequence to fix them. I'm also sharing my own story of gaining 35 pounds in early perimenopause and another 10 pounds from testosterone therapy because my androgens were too high relative to my estrogen. You'll Discover: ● Why 80% of women gain weight in perimenopause and menopause ● Why eating more protein before fixing insulin resistance and glucose utilization can trigger gluconeogenesis ● The mitochondrial shutdown ● How fiber intake reduced visceral fat by 24.6% over 16 weeks in postmenopausal women ● Why yo-yo dieting and extreme caloric restriction can slow metabolic rate by 20-30% ● Why excess androgens relative to estrogen drive insulin resistance and pre-diabetes in menopause, and why testosterone therapy without proper estrogen management can worsen metabolic dysfunction despite improving libido and mental sharpness ● How hormone replacement therapy improves insulin sensitivity through estradiol activity at cell and mitochondria PLUS, the complete exercise protocol and its benefits. This episode is for women frustrated by unexplained weight gain in perimenopause or menopause, those who've been told to just eat more protein and lift weights without results, or anyone struggling with elevated fasting glucose despite cutting carbs.

Making the Invisible Visible: A SEAL's Mission to Redefine Mental HealthThis week on the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie sit down with Jonathan Wilson, founder and CEO of INVI MindHealth, a groundbreaking mental-health technology company built on one powerful mission: to save and improve lives by making the invisible visible.Jonathan's journey is anything but ordinary. He began his professional career serving over a decade as a United States Navy SEAL, deploying to multiple combat theaters across several SEAL Teams. After leaving active duty, he carried the mindset of service into the private sector—first as an equity trader at Goldman Sachs in New York City, and later at Capital Group.In 2012, Jonathan co-founded and led the SEAL Future Foundation (SFF), a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting Navy SEALs in their transition beyond service. Under his leadership, SFF has helped thousands of SEALs and returned millions of dollars to the community—providing support in education, career development, and long-term well-being so operators can continue a life of service.Now, through INVI MindHealth, Jonathan is tackling one of the most critical challenges facing both the military and civilian worlds: mental health. INVI's technology leverages objective data to provide early insight, awareness, and intervention—bridging the gap between how someone looks on the outside and what's happening on the inside.Jonathan also brings elite academic credentials to the table, holding an MBA from the University of Oxford and graduating from the Program for Leadership Development at Harvard Business School.This is a conversation about purpose, prevention, and pushing the mission forward—no matter the battlefield.In this episode you will hear:• I inevitably landed on a book that I found from Vietnam: The Frogman Book and I thought: “What is this?” I read that and I was like: “This is it. This is what I wanna be.” (24:39)• Looking back now, I think the Lord is probably teaching me a lesson. I got caught with a fake ID card. You're done. From that point I hit one of lowest points. (27:22)• [I went to SEAL] Team 4. We ended up going to Bagdad. I did back-to back. It's what team guys want. We were doing DA's, hostage rescues; we were operating damn near every night. (45:16)• After being married and with 5 kids, and we had lost a lot of friends – maybe it's time to get out and I agreed. (48:04)• In my head I was thinking, what's the next hardest thing? That's how my brain thinks. (48:40)• I didn't think I'd fit outside. I partially still feel that way. (50:32)• SEALS wasn't my purpose. I think being a father and a Christian is. But I think the Lord put me on this planet to really see this business we're creating of helping as many people as possible with their mental suicide. Empowering them to be the best version of themselves they can be. (55:13)• We created INVI Mind Health. (IInvisibleVisible) (57:12)• We created an algorhythm that pulls all the biometrics from any wearable you've got, and we help you get your mind score. (63:22)• [Marcus] When team start to spiral, they'll pull away. They don't want to detonate in front of their buddies. (66:34)• Our mission is to save lives by making the invisible visible. (72:29)

From graduate engineer to CTO, Andrew Phillips' 16-year journey at Skyscanner is a story of continuous reinvention. He didn't chase titles—he chased growth, deliberately stepping out of his comfort zone and unlearning the habits that no longer served him. What's kept him at the company for over a decade isn't status, but challenge: new teams, unfamiliar problems, and the chance to stay close to the work, even as his scope of leadership expanded.In this episode, we explore how Andrew is now applying that same mindset to leading in the AI era—personally and professionally. He shares how he's built a personal AI stack to stay more present, how Skyscanner is blurring traditional team roles to unlock speed, and why “directed autonomy” is more important than ever. For leaders navigating scale, technology, and the desire to make meaningful impact without burning out, Andrew offers a powerful perspective.Key TakeawaysGrowth through discomfort: Andrew's biggest accelerations came from switching roles and leaving his comfort zone—not climbing a predefined ladder.AI as a leadership enabler: He uses AI tools to be more present, thoughtful, and effective—especially during high-stakes meetings.From feature factory to outcome focus: Leaders must reconnect people to impact, not just output.Directed autonomy: Empowering teams with AI means giving clear goals—not micromanaging the execution.Unlearning process overreach: Traditional roles, ticketing systems, and rigid handoffs are ripe for reinvention in AI-native organizations.Additional InsightsThe personal AI stack Andrew uses includes ChatGPT, Otter, Cursor, and SpecKit—enabling him to ideate on walks, build apps during board meetings, and maintain strategic presence.Skyscanner's senior engineers are back coding, using AI to close the gap between architectural thinking and execution.AI-driven productivity unlocks don't just mean faster work—they mean better work-life balance, deeper engagement, and more human leadership.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode RecapAndrew Phillips shares how stepping into uncertainty—and building his own AI stack—transformed his leadership at Skyscanner.

Almost 80% of women will experience weight gain as they enter perimenopause and menopause, and what makes it even worse is that the strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s stop working entirely. I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this solo episode, I'm breaking down the exact science behind why menopause destroys your metabolism, why eating more protein first could actually be making things worse, and the precise order of operations you need to follow to reverse metabolic dysfunction and lose visceral fat - the dangerous fat underneath your abdominal muscle that increases your risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This isn't about eating less and moving more. This is about understanding the deep mechanistic disruptions happening in your mitochondria, insulin signaling, liver function, and fat cell biology during menopause, and using science-backed strategies in the right sequence to fix them. I'm also sharing my own story of gaining 35 pounds in early perimenopause and another 10 pounds from testosterone therapy because my androgens were too high relative to my estrogen. You'll Discover: ● Why 80% of women gain weight in perimenopause and menopause ● Why eating more protein before fixing insulin resistance and glucose utilization can trigger gluconeogenesis ● The mitochondrial shutdown ● How fiber intake reduced visceral fat by 24.6% over 16 weeks in postmenopausal women ● Why yo-yo dieting and extreme caloric restriction can slow metabolic rate by 20-30% ● Why excess androgens relative to estrogen drive insulin resistance and pre-diabetes in menopause, and why testosterone therapy without proper estrogen management can worsen metabolic dysfunction despite improving libido and mental sharpness ● How hormone replacement therapy improves insulin sensitivity through estradiol activity at cell and mitochondria PLUS, the complete exercise protocol and its benefits. This episode is for women frustrated by unexplained weight gain in perimenopause or menopause, those who've been told to just eat more protein and lift weights without results, or anyone struggling with elevated fasting glucose despite cutting carbs.

What if your chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or overwhelming perimenopause symptoms aren't just hormonal, but neurological? I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this groundbreaking episode, I sit down with Ashok Gupta, founder of the Gupta Program and pioneer in neuroplasticity-based brain retraining for chronic illness. Ashok's personal journey from debilitating chronic fatigue syndrome at Cambridge University to complete recovery led him to develop a program that has now been validated in seven clinical studies and helps thousands of people worldwide rewire their nervous systems to heal. You'll Discover: ● Why 85% of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and mast cell activation cases occur in women aged 35-60, and how perimenopause creates a "drought in the kingdom" that sensitizes the nervous system ● How your immune system and nervous system become traumatized after fighting off threats and keep firing weapons of war even after the battle is over, causing widespread inflammation ● Why survival is the number one priority of your brain, and how it would rather trigger your immune and nervous systems wildly to protect you than bring you back to balance ● How neuroplasticity works through repetition and intensity to rewire the brain, just like learning to drive a car transforms from conscious effort to automatic behavior ● Why estrogen loss in perimenopause builds more brain receptors (not less), affects the cannabinoid system and mitochondrial function in the prefrontal cortex, making the nervous system hypersensitive to fluctuations ● The neuroimmune conditioned syndrome framework covering symptoms like poor sleep, pain, fatigue, swollen glands, temperature fluctuations, post-exertional malaise, and cognitive dysfunction across multiple mysterious illnesses ● How the Gupta Program was four times more effective than sleep advice, diet, supplements, and activity recommendations for long COVID fatigue in independent studies ● Why modern medicine treats hardware problems (broken bones) well but fails at software problems (nervous system dysregulation) that account for 50% of doctor visits PLUS, we talk about the first-ever clinical study on perimenopause and menopause using the Gupta Program, and you can participate! This episode is for women experiencing chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, long COVID, anxiety, or overwhelming perimenopause symptoms that medications haven't helped. If you're tired of being told "it's just stress" or "it's all in your head," this conversation will change everything. Watch now and discover how retraining your brain can heal your body, and how you can participate in groundbreaking research.

In this episode of Wellness at the Speed of Light, Dr. Stefano Sinicropi speaks with Dr. Alice Burron, founder of Strategic Action Health, about why so many people feel disconnected from their own health and how that disconnect shapes long-term outcomes. The conversation centers on a simple but often overlooked idea: health decisions are made every day, not only in clinics or during moments of illness. Dr. Burron explains how modern healthcare culture has encouraged people to hand responsibility over to systems, prescriptions, or chance, rather than staying actively engaged with the fundamentals that support wellbeing. Drawing parallels to the precision required in surgery, she emphasizes that daily choices deserve the same level of intention and awareness. Dr. Burron introduces what she calls the “core four”: exercise, nutrition, hydration, and sleep. Rather than framing these as lifestyle tips, the episode explores why they form the physiological foundation of health, performance, and resilience. When these basics are neglected, prevention weakens and care becomes fragmented. When they are prioritized, individuals are better positioned to support longevity and overall wellbeing. This episode challenges listeners to rethink prevention, personal responsibility, and the role of precision in everyday health decisions. It is relevant for anyone interested in wellness, performance, and sustainable approaches to long-term health. The discussion offers a grounded, educational perspective on how mastering the fundamentals can shift not only individual outcomes, but the broader way we think about healthcare.

They share personal anecdotes, including a relatable story about dealing with new insurance cards, which triggers a discussion on the balance between guiding children and allowing them to learn through experience.

QUOTES: “Once we understand what something means, we can understand how we can change those behaviors in order to be construction instead of destructive.” “Chances are, your gaslighting tactics are not just being used in your coupleship, but other areas of your life too.” “Staying in the victim role is not going to contribute to optimal healing.”
If you've ever wondered why it's easier to order groceries on your phone than to legally cut hair, start a home business, or switch careers, this episode explains exactly what's gone wrong.America's labor policies are stuck in the past—designed for a 1930s economy that no longer exists. Meanwhile, workers have moved on. They want flexibility. They want choice. They want opportunity. And increasingly, government is standing in the way.My guest is Austen Bannan, Workforce Policy Fellow at Americans for Prosperity and one of the sharpest voices making the case for worker freedom over bureaucratic control. Austen works at the intersection of labor policy, occupational licensing, and education reform—where outdated rules quietly crush opportunity for millions of Americans.This is a conversation about why empowering workers—not protecting systems—is essential if we actually want people to prosper.
Episode Description:To launch our “From the Archive” series, James revisits his candid talk with Sara Blakely about turning fear into fuel, reframing failure, and selling a simple product with language and grit. You'll hear the bathroom demo that won Neiman Marcus, the three-part courage engine she still uses, and how to protect the thinking time that sparks real ideas. What You'll Learn:A usable framework for courage: how gratitude, mortality, and mission help you act when you're anxious. Cold-call tactics that open doors: lead with humanity, humor, and a clear benefit; remove “doubt language.” Naming and language as strategy: why one word, cadence, or sound (“K”) can change response and recall. Prototype → proof → order: how to create momentum before the back office exists—and survive it. Idea hygiene: protect thinking time, keep an “idea log,” and test small, real-world demos fast. Timestamped Chapters:[02:13] “What did you fail at this week?” — redefining failure at the dinner table. [03:13] Why this conversation outranked a big news assignment. [04:25] Mission beyond profit — Belly Art Project and maternal health. [06:17] Empowering women: the through-line from day one. [08:00] Gratitude and anxiety — learning courage in real time. [10:12] Mortality as perspective; the loss that changed her trajectory. [12:19] Purpose larger than self—doing the scary thing anyway. [14:50] The Warren Buffett premiere pep talk: “Get over yourself.” [17:08] Stand-up as training for product storytelling. [19:00] Seven years of cold calling: rejection as reps. [21:33] Wayne Dyer and “how to think” vs. “what to think.” [26:16] The “fake commute”: protecting thinking time. [30:00] “Are you my idea?” — from cut-off pantyhose to a canvas under clothes. [33:00] The value of a word: comedy, cadence, and copy. [34:03] Why she bet on a name with a hard “K.” [42:52] The Neiman Marcus call, the in-person pitch, and the bathroom demo. [49:31] “We don't have crotches” — surviving ops chaos on the first big order. [52:00] Tears in Office Depot and learning the bill of lading.

Recovery can be very difficult because of shame. Shame is an obstacle to healing for everybody. How can you face hard truths about your own dark side without drowning in the shame? Partners can learn how to not add to the stranglehold of shame that stomps on the soul of their partner & wiggle up to the wall of denial to restore hope.
