Teyana Taylor has changed the game in entertainment throughout her career—so much so that it landed her on the cover of Marie Claire's Changemakers Issue. After living her life in the spotlight for decades as an actress, choreographer, creative director, and artist, Taylor shocked fans when she announced that she would be retiring from music in 2020. Now, years later, she's made a comeback with her brand-new album, Escape Room. The record is just the latest addition to her portfolio as a creative powerhouse. Taylor joins us to discuss the big three (money, power, and style)—including why she isn't afraid to invest money in her projects, how she finds power in being a lover girl, and what it was like working with Ruth E. Carter on her iconic Met Gala look.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Laura Hawkins is the founder of Gamemasters Escape Solutions, a creator and operator of high-performing escape rooms for hotels and resorts. After a successful career making viral television advertising, she discovered escape rooms on a European trip. She turned a passion project into a 14-room operation and a turnkey hotel amenity business (including installs at Atlantis, The Bahamas). She joins us to talk revenue, resorts, and escape room design. • Budget-season hot take: maximize social first and add hyper-targeted print ads if you have the cash. • From receptionist to rainmaker: Laura hustled her way off the front desk and into award-winning ads. • “Just Slow Down”: the graphic traffic-safety campaign that made her the Quentin TarantinA of Winnipeg. • Vacation plot twist: one so-so Dublin escape room → Athens upgrade → Paris hook → new career. • Resorts love it: low staff, durable props, and constant revenue. • Corporate catnip: team-building, communication, respectful-collaboration—plus a true differentiator vs. the hotel next door. • Design recipe: theme first → story → tactile puzzles (knobs, secret doors, scents)… and yes, limes. • Player pro tip: communicate, inventory the space, and OPEN. THE. DRAWERS. Our Top Three Takeaways: 1. Escape Rooms Are a High-ROI Amenity for Hotels and Resorts Laura emphasized that escape rooms offer hotels a unique way to generate revenue while differentiating from competitors. Unlike spas or waterparks, escape rooms appeal to a wider demographic—from families with young kids to teenagers, grandparents, wedding parties, and corporate groups. They're low-labor, durable, and cost far less to install and maintain, while still driving constant guest traffic and ancillary spending at restaurants and bars. 2. Immersive Entertainment Strengthens Guest Connection For Laura, the heart of escape rooms is shared experience. Guests disconnect from screens, collaborate face-to-face, and leave with stories they'll continue discussing long after the game. This creates a sense of joy and connection that builds loyalty and word-of-mouth—two of the strongest assets for hotels seeking repeat visits and community engagement. 3. Differentiation Requires Courage and Creativity Laura challenged hotels to show more boldness in shaping guest experiences. Too many properties look the same, leaving price as the only deciding factor. By embracing immersive, playful, and customizable amenities—like themed escape rooms or even immersive dinner theater—hotels can stand out, create memorable stays, and deliver new revenue streams.

In Folge 121 von „Podcast ist echt nicht einfach!“ begrüße ich Uke Bosse – Schauspieler, Medienmacher und Professor für Game Design. Gemeinsam sprechen wir über die spannende Frage, wie Theater ein größeres Publikum erreichen kann und welche Rolle Gaming dabei spielt.Ausgehend von Pen & Paper-Rollenspielen diskutieren wir, wie interaktives Theater aussehen könnte und warum Escape Rooms eine faszinierende Brücke zwischen Gaming und Bühne schlagen. Uke gibt Einblicke in seine eigenen Projekte, die genau darauf abzielen: Erlebnisse schaffen, die Menschen aktiv einbinden und das klassische Theatererlebnis neu denken.Natürlich geht es auch um die Zukunft der Medien: Welche Möglichkeiten eröffnet Künstliche Intelligenz im Fernsehen? Wie verändert sie Storytelling, Produktion und Zuschauererfahrung? Und: Welche Spielmechaniken funktionieren – und welche verderben das Erlebnis?Ein inspirierendes Gespräch über Kreativität, Innovation und die Schnittstellen von Games, Theater und KI.

In this episode of the 3v0 Podcast, Brendan and Jordan dive headfirst into Blue Prince, one of the most unique indie puzzle games of the year. Developed by solo dev Tonda Ross, Blue Prince blends roguelike mechanics, intricate escape room puzzles, and immersive lore into a mind-bending mansion mystery. We discuss the game's layered mechanics, the importance of obsessive note-taking, and the joy (and madness) of solving estate-wide riddles with a friend. Plus, we share our personal gameplay experience, including the bizarre clues, secret safes, the elusive 46th room, and the Pepe Sylvia-style conspiracy board of it all. And stick around for a bonus round of “Two Truths and a Lie” featuring iconic architectural landmarks. If the Riddler had a panic attack and tried to design a house, it would probably look like this.

I started City Girl Savings back in 2015, while I didn't go-full time with running the business until 2021, I've had women working for me long before then. I always had the intention of hosting a team retreat, but the timing was never right. In 2024, I declared there would never be a “perfect” time, so I made the decision to get our dates on the calendar! I reached out to The CGS Team via slack to confirm dates nearly 8 months out. By the end of December, I received final RSVPs and started booking everything. In this episode, I'm sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the first ever CGS Team Retreat and how the overall weekend together went. Here's a glance at this episode: [01:53] In spite of working together since 2022, the CGS Team retreat was the first time CGS Team members met in person. [03:27] Meeting at Raya's place in Palm Springs was a great location since 2 of the 5 CGS Team Members already lived in California. [07:00] Curious who the first one to fall asleep each night was? If you guessed Raya, you're right! She shares some background on why that was. [10:03] The CGS Team proved they could work well together while trying to get off The Titanic during an Escape Room activity. [12:06] Before parting ways Sunday morning, the CGS Team had their final meal together at a local Palm Springs diner! Rate, Review, & Follow: Did you love this episode?

Life feels like an escape room sometimes — the clock's ticking, and the pressure's real. Temptation pops up like a game of Whack-a-Mole, and the enemy's goal?

Don't fall for the bait... choose wisdom, move fast, and walk in the win that's already yours

Whether you're planning a corporate retreat, student leadership event, or just love a good personality-meets-puzzle metaphor, we'll show you how the Enneagram can help you understand your teammates better!
Tune in for a masterclass in data leadership. Josh Cunningham, Group Head of Data and AI Culture at Lloyds Banking Group, unveils how this distinguished institution is boldly innovating with cutting-edge AI. Josh provides a riveting look into his unique role, which is dedicated to accelerating talent, building capabilities, and articulating data and AI's profound impact across the organization. Learn how Lloyds is rapidly expanding its data and AI graduate scheme and learn more about their ambitious quest to be the "most data literate bank". Hear how their innovative five-persona literacy framework, and engaging initiatives like the "Data and AI Summer School" and a physical "Data Escape Room," are driving their business forward on data and AI.Key Moments: The "People Side" of Data and AI (12:33): Reflecting on his career, Josh highlights his passion for the "people side" of data and AI, focusing on building teams and fostering career development. This addresses a critical industry gap where technology readiness often outpaces human capability.Scaling Data and AI Talent (17:23): Lloyds Banking Group significantly scaled its data and AI graduate scheme from approximately 10 to 100 graduates annually over three years, while demonstrating a proactive approach to balancing between AI training and tool adoption for their increasing talent pool.Data and AI Literacy Framework (22:52): Lloyds developed a data and AI literacy framework with five personas, from "data beginner" to "citizen," representing an evolving maturity lifecycle. This framework helps map and track colleagues' literacy levels over time.The Data and AI Summer School (29:06): Josh highlights this major, two-month, virtual program that offers over 200 live sessions hosted by internal and external experts. It covers diverse data and AI topics for all colleagues, from beginners to practitioners, and has attracted over 42,000 sign-ups in the previous year.The Physical Data Escape Room (32:18): Lloyds innovated with a physical data escape room that tours the UK, designed to engage colleagues (even those disengaged with data). Its puzzles, anchored to the entire data value chain, enable "learning by stealth" with phenomenal feedback. Key Quotes:"It's trying your best to meet people where they are and make it real for them. So... finding a way to anchor the learning to something that's relevant to their their day to day role, is always gonna make it land better." - Josh Cunningham"I think every organization needs to find a really well-structured balance in terms of training versus adoption." - Josh Cunningham"If I was to think about our data and AI literacy framework, we've developed a framework that consists of five personas. We've tried to break it down in terms of where people might be on their data or AI literacy journey. You can go from data beginner through to data enthusiast, through to data and AI explorer, through to storyteller, through to citizen. - Josh CunninghamMentionsLloyds Banking Group - Escape RoomLloyds Banking Group's partnership with Women in Data Lloyds Banking Group's partnership with Code First Girls The AI Daily Brief PodcastGuest Bio:Josh Cunningham is the Group Head of Data and AI Culture at Lloyds Banking Group, where he leads the Data Culture Pillar—one of five strategic pillars in the Group's data strategy.

My Girlfriend's Apartment Is Giving Me AnxietyHow would you handle this? You want to move in with your girlfriend, but she has a ton of knick-knacks, plants and just plain stuff. He is a minimalist and feels like he couldn't move in with her if she didn't at least get rid of half of it. No Makeup On The First DateIn general, Gen Z has trended towards skipping out on classic date nights like traditional dinners and drinks in favor of more adventurous, active ventures like ocean swims, yoga sessions, or rock climbing. These activities allow potential paramours to get to know each other without the pressure of sitting across from each other and talking for hours on end — though eventually, there comes a point in a relationship where this is necessary. The latest move to ease the tension and anxiety of a first date? No makeup, a la Pamela Anderson. Both Millennials and Gen Zers have taken to the Internet to share their experiences with the movement, and overall, they're psyched about their new looks, and the confidence boosts it can — potentially, as @madisonoud pointed out — bring with it. (No thanks, Tom Hanks)Looking Good Vs Feeling GoodAlong the same vein, people are saying that feeling healthy makes them feel attractive. Exercising and eating well, give the confidence a boost. Let me guess, you should cut ut alcohol? Booooooo.Second Date UpdateJordan and Elise met at a birthday party. They discover they love puzzles, so they go to an Escape Room for their first date. They did it in under an hour, but now she has ghosted.

It appears as though we are watching the early stages of the second Bolshevik Revolution unfolding, as military-aged fighting men with negligible skills, no ability to speak the language, and low IQ are being intentionally flooded into the West. The question becomes less about what is happening and more about how to adjust to this new variable, which does not appear to be going away anytime soon. Do you stay and hunker down for a long slog, or do you quietly plot your escape and leave while you still can? We explore a few solutions that could help with decision-making.
