Wanda Wen, founder and creative force behind Soolip, is celebrated for her unremitting romance with the artisanal and the inherent beauty of things touched by hand. Established on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood in 1995, and now nestled in Westlake Village, Soolip was built upon a profound love of paper - the tactile, expressive medium that continues to inspire Wen's world of refined artistry and soulful luxury.   A USC business graduate and former New York fashion executive with Perry Ellis and Stephen Sprouse, Wen blends business acumen with a discerning eye for art, style, and meaningful detail. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, Town & Country, Better Homes & Gardens, and more, and she has appeared on The Today Show, HGTV, and as a judge on Freeform's Wrap Battle alongside Carson Kressley and Sheryl Underwood. Author of The Art of Gift Wrapping (Potter Craft/Random House), Wen is also known as America's “go-to gift wrap stylephile.” A dedicated yogi and teacher, Wen infuses mindfulness into all she creates. She co-launched YogaLand Game in 2018, an experiential board game for yoga enthusiasts that unites her passions for design, creativity, and uplifting others, and is set to launch YogaLand version 2, for the young generation ages 6 - 12, in Spring 2026. In today's episode, Nada talks with Wanda about her lifestyle brand and its evolution over the decades, all while managing to remain true to its original mission statement. Wanda takes us back to the beginning when her love of beauty and letter writing coalesced into a paper company that started in her garage, and details for us the flagship store's rapid growth into several niche markets. She explains the meaning behind the name “Soolip” and encourages us with the life mantras that keep her and her business grounded. And offers listeners a chance to engage in upcoming workshops and yoga lessons. For more information, visit Soolip's website.

In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Justin Taylor, MD, an associate professor in the Division of Hematology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, about the growing role of artificial intelligence in cancer information–seeking and what this means for clinicians caring for patients with hematologic malignancies. Dr Taylor's recent work explores how patients are increasingly turning to AI tools to better understand their diagnoses and treatments, and why oncologists must be aware of the accuracy, limitations, and clinical implications of these technologies.

A billion-euro bet on Europe's most uncertain frontiers: climate, deep tech, and industrial transformation. Can government-backed funds catalyze global champions—or do they risk crowding out private capital?Dr. Elisabeth Schrey leads the Deep Tech & Climate Fonds (DTCF), a €1B investment vehicle co-financed by Germany's Future Fund and ERP Special Fund. From Munich to Berlin to Brussels, she's navigating the hardest question in European venture: how to deploy government capital without distorting markets.Together, we explore how DTCF is shaping Europe's growth-stage landscape, what it takes to invest in policy-fragile verticals like hydrogen and climate tech, and why Europe's future industrial champions may depend on funds like this.Here's what's covered:01:47 Why Elisabeth Took the Helm at DTCF (and What Gap It Fills)03:32 The Co-Investment Model: Benefits, Limits, and Founder Experience05:38 Crowding Out or Catalyzing?

Who invents these things? and what experience do they have that gets them to the point that they can invent these things?  Entrepreneurs are a crafty bunch. They dream. They test themselves. They switch gears on the fly. So goes the story of Greg Lambrecht, the inventor of the Coravin wine preservation and dispensing system. You have to believe the story, though it seems unbelievable, because it is true. Imagine a podcast where invention, passion, and the enduring mystique of wine come together—where stories of ingenuity inspire new perspectives on the familiar rituals of sharing a bottle. Welcome to Wine Talks, and in this special episode, we sit down with none other than Greg Lambrecht: medical device inventor, Chairman, and founder of Coravin, the revolutionary wine preservation system that's changed the way we taste and savor the world's finest bottles. Our journey begins not in a vineyard, but deep inside the world of plasma physics, where a young Greg Lambrecht first dreamed of fusion reactors before pivoting toward medicine and, ultimately, the creative crossroads that would see him transform both fields. It's the kind of path mapped by an insatiable curiosity, a "ferocity of purpose"—as Greg Lambrecht puts it—that won't let go until a solution is found. Whether protecting healthcare workers with safer needles or opening doors to rare wines without ever pulling a cork, Greg Lambrecht's inventions answer needs no one thought to ask out loud. What sets this conversation apart isn't just its recounting of triumphs over glass and grape, but the philosophy animating Greg Lambrecht's work. He believes wine's true essence lies not in luxury, but in experience: its power to bring people together, its infinite variety ripe for exploration, its uncanny knack for weaving memory and flavor into moments we'll never forget. Wine, as he reminds us, is the "most social beverage," a thread running through history that binds strangers and friends alike. Threaded throughout the episode is an unyielding optimism: that even as wine faces cycles of challenge—from shifting tastes to industry headwinds—it will endure, because what it offers is elemental and unchanging. Imbued with the joy of discovery and a respect for craftsmanship, this episode doesn't just trace the arc of an inventor's career; it champions a deeper message. Innovation and tradition aren't adversaries, but partners that keep the world of wine vital and surprising for the generations yet to come. So pour a glass, settle in, and let this episode remind you that sometimes, the best stories—and the best bottles—are those we share together, with curiosity and an open mind. The future of wine, it turns out, is a journey made one meaningful sip at a time.     #WineTalksPodcast #GregLambrecht #PaulKalemkiarian #Coravin #WineInnovation #WinePreservation #Entrepreneurship #WineIndustry #WineByTheGlass #WineDiscovery #WineExperience #MedicalDevices #WineCulture #WineTasting #WineTechnology #ChampagnePreservation #WineMemories #Sommelier #WineEducation #WineCommunity

The Agency Brief The Militia Act of 1792: Federal Mandate for Private Firearm Ownership Five months after ratifying the Second Amendment (December 1791), the same Congress passed the Militia Acts in May 1792.   The Two Acts May 2, 1792 – Calling Forth Act -  Authorized the President to call the militia into federal service. May 8, 1792 – Uniform Militia Act - Mandated private armament and established uniform national standards (passed on the final day of the session).   Reason for Passage A direct response to St. Clair's Defeat (November 1791), the worst U.S. military loss of the era. Congress responded by: Expanding the professional army (the Legion of the United States) Requiring citizens to arm themselves as a ready reserve — ensuring the nation didn't rely on a large standing army many feared could threaten liberty   Who Was Enrolled “Each and every free able-bodied white male citizen” aged 18–45. Enrollment was automatic, with limited exemptions. Some states broadened eligibility.   Required Equipment (Section 1 — purchased and maintained at personal expense) Musket or firelock (military caliber, bayonet-capable) or rifle Bayonet and belt Knapsack, pouch, two spare flints Cartridge box with ≥24 cartridges (or ≥20 balls for rifles) Officers: additional privately purchased items (pistols, swords, fusils, etc.) Failure to appear properly equipped at muster resulted in fines enforced by militia courts-martial. These weapons had to be military-standard and fit for immediate service, not hunting or sporting pieces.   Meaning of “Well Regulated Militia” in 1792 To the Founding generation: Equipped with military-standard arms Organized and trained at regular musters Inspected and ready for immediate use

Welcome back to Stories from the River! We are continuing our recap series from the Grand Reopening Celebration of our latest Ashley Store 7.0 transformation in Mooresville, North Carolina. In today's episode, CEO Charlie Malouf sits down with Mooresville General Manager Nathan Jeter to discuss the remodel experience and results from the reimagined Lake Norman store, The Lake. The Mooresville Ashley store has been around for over 17 years, and its success was never questionned. Nathan Jeter and his winning team have stood out in the Company. However, this fall, the team at The Lake welcomed a long-awaited remodel of their beloved store to the Ashley 7.0 model. Expanding the Sleep Shop to twice its size and reinventing the showroom with the fresh 7.0 design will only help this team reach new heights in the coming season.  In today's interview conducted in the showroom following the ribbon cutting held last month on October 7th, we get an insight into what Nathan and his team think about the brand new remodel. The conversation explores the journey leading up to the ribbon cutting, and they reminisce about the seventeen years since the store first opened, its journey to where it is now and the various wonderful Memory Makers who got it to this moment. Jeter particularly reflects on the instrumental impact that Renee Bradley has had on the store and how helpful Tim Sayles was during the construction process.  In a surprising move, the Mooresville store managed to win Store of the Month, the presigious Yoda award, twice amidst the construction. Jeter credits this to his team of Memory Makers. He remarks that the team's resilient mindest, strategic planning, and the support of both long-term Memory Makers as well as some newcomers help make the Mooresville store the award-winning location.  Stayed tuned for other conversations from this event as the stories will highlight Mooresville Memory Makers and their strength, resilience and ability to thrive during chaos.    Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Nl607F39JFQ  Visit https://www.storiesfromtheriver.com  for more episodes.   Broad River Retail brought this show to you.

Last week, the Bottle Bill coalition held a press conference to announce the results of our statewide survey, which found that the large majority of stores that sell Bottle Bill-covered beverages do not post the legally required "Bottle Bill of Rights" sign. These signs are meant to alert consumers that they can take back the covered beverages they purchased there for their nickel return. Two arrests were made outside of the Governor's Mansion in Albany, Monday morning, after Bottle Bill protestors dumped a truckload of cans and bottles at the gate. Employees from bottle redemption centers across the state gathered to dump the multiple days' worth of waste. They are seeking an increase in the handling fee as well as increasing the nickel deposit to a time. Blair Horner of NYPIRG gives an update about the Campaign to Mark Dunlea of the Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

In the latest episode of On The Line, Matt Gurney welcomes two very different guests for two very different conversations — and both of them are well worth your time.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Forestry For The Future. Canada's housing crisis demands bold, scalable solutions. Build Canada Homes is an opportunity to leverage Canadian wood in modern construction. Wood-based methods like mass timber and modular construction can significantly reduce build times, waste, and carbon emissions, while supporting local economies. Expanding building codes, streamlining approvals, and prioritizing domestic wood in federal projects could double demand and foster job creation in rural and northern communities.Despite trade challenges and market volatility, a partnership between industry and government is vital to stabilize the sector, enhance competitiveness, and deliver innovative, sustainably sourced Canadian wood products for homes across Canada and abroad. With capacity growing across provinces, stable demand and predictable financing are key to unlocking the sector's potential.We need to Build Canada Homes with Canadian wood. To learn more, visit ForestryForTheFuture.ca.The episode opens with a wide-ranging chat with Dan Seljak, who joins Matt to unpack an issue that somehow turned into a strangely complicated political fight in Toronto. The whole thing should have been simple: should the city allow small retail outlets inside residential neighbourhoods? Most of us grew up with corner stores, coffee shops, and little walk-in places woven into the communities around us. But Toronto's own governance rules have made these kinds of businesses nearly impossible to open, and the city has been steadily losing the ones it still has. What followed was an unexpectedly intense battle to protect those remaining shops and to make space for new ones. Dan talks about how he found himself pulled into the fight, what it revealed about the way cities make decisions, and why something so basic became so hard. He and Matt dig into a bigger question, too: how did urban governance in Canada become so tangled that even the simple things are impossible to achieve? This isn't a left-right issue — there's a surprising amount of agreement across political lines — and yet nothing gets done. How did we box ourselves into this, and how do we get out?You can read more from Dan, and keep up with his work, at Another Glass Box.After Dan, John Wright joins the show. John is a long-time friend of The Line and has been involved in a campaign to raise public awareness about a once-celebrated Canadian military hero who has almost disappeared from our national memory. He and Matt pick up the thread from last week's discussion about Remembrance Day on The Line Podcast, exploring why these stories fade and why they matter. John also shares a quick update on his own professional world — and it's worth sticking around for. For more information about John's new venture, go here.

At 19, Ben Francis was lifting weights during the day and delivering pizza at night. He didn't have money. He didn't have fashion experience. He didn't even know how to sew. What he did have was a front-row seat… to a new online trend. Before Instagram and influencers became a strategy, a handful of YouTubers were redefining gym culture — building identity and community online. With his gymwear brand Gymshark, Ben didn't try to compete with Nike. He didn't try to buy ads. He did something much more powerful: He built relationships. He sent free T-shirts to the Youtubers he admired. He learned what gym-goers actually wanted to wear: tapered tracksuits, and shirts that emphasized their muscles.Today, Gymshark is valued at more than a billion dollars, and Ben is the youngest billionaire in the UK. But his story is not just about business. It's about identity, discipline, humility—and learning to grow as fast as you can learn. What You'll Learn: How to build a brand by building community first How to hire smart people without losing control of your companyAvoiding imposter syndrome by creating your own apprenticeship program How to get stronger by staying in your lane Timestamps: 06:15 - The IT education that changed Ben's life17:48 - Gymshark's first sale: a £2 profit that had him dancing in his bedroom20:06 - Early apparel—Screen-printing T shirts, a single sewing machine 23:50 - How YouTube bodybuilders became their best marketers 40:48 - How Ben hired his own boss–and what he learned from him47:44 - Expanding to the US: a bone-chilling trip to Ohio 50:35 - The bodybuilder's aesthetic: big shoulders, narrow waist53:58 - The painful breakup between Ben and his co-founder 1:04:49 - Why he earned the nickname “Hurricane Ben.” 1:12:30 - A legacy company: Resisting the urge to grow beyond the gym 1:19:19 - Small Business Spotlight This episode was produced by J.C.

In this powerful, deeply personal interview, Tanc walks us through a life shaped by gang culture, prison time, cartel connections, near-death situations, and ultimately—transformation. From his early days in the California state system to navigating the dangerous world of cross-border drug trafficking, he breaks down how major operations moved product from Peru and Mexico into the U.S., what it was like coordinating “jumps” across the border, why warehouses sat full of hundreds of untouched bricks, and the razor-thin line between survival and disaster. He also opens up about fatherhood changing his mindset, the struggle to find legitimate work after prison, facing racism while trying to re-enter society, and how community college became the unlikely start of a new path. This episode dives into: -His final state bid and what made him leave gang life behind -How he became involved with high-level cartel operators -The logistics behind massive cross-border drug shipments -The paranoia, betrayals, and close calls that come with the lifestyle -The moment he knew the feds were closing in -How education and family pulled him toward a different life Go Support Tanc!

It's easy to believe that the secret to creating great fragrances lies in having more materials - more naturals, more synthetics, more obscure aroma chemicals. But as Karen explains in this episode, the opposite is usually true. Expanding your organ too quickly can overwhelm your creativity, stall your progress, and make it harder to build the strong foundation you need to truly master the craft of perfumery. Karen breaks down exactly why “more” is rarely the answer, why many professionals still work with a limited palette, and how to experiment, build skill, confidence, and clarity by initially using a focused, small set of materials. KEY TAKEAWAYS In perfumery, progress comes from starting simple and structured learning - not from collecting hundreds of bottles. Most trained perfumers work with a tight palette that they fully understand. Don´t be tempted to start by exploring big scent concepts, they can tempt you into collecting unusual materials prematurely. Start by making simple scents first. Remember most powerful or “interesting” materials only work in tiny amounts. Without practice and proper dilution, they can easily unbalance a blend. Start by practicing with a focused set of ingredients. Learn to dilute them correctly, carefully observe how each material and combination behaves and make notes. BEST MOMENTS “Weird, wacky, interesting materials do not make you more creative. They don't make you a better perfumer - knowing how to use them does.” “You are literally trying to build this whole city before you've built your shed in the garden.” “If you change everything in a formulation over and over again, you're going to keep going around in circles.” “You can own hundreds of materials and still be guessing and floundering, or you can have 20 core materials and be working with them and learning about how they interact with each other.” EPISODE RESOURCES Use the discount code shared during the show to master the 70 most important materials you need to build a strong skill foundation for your perfumer career by going here - https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/materials-mastery https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/studio-classes Getting Started Guide: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/podcast-getting-started-guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/artisan-perfumery-mastermind Website: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher, and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way. Karen has inspired thousands of students to explore their olfactory sense and create their own personalised fragrances. With extensive product development experience in both the commercial perfumery and the organic skincare industry, Karen is able to offer a unique insight into creating natural and mixed media fragrances for fine fragrance, room scents and skincare/bodycare products using commercial perfumery techniques. Karen is also a certified meditation teacher and has a passion for helping people to create daily rituals that integrate scent with other modalities to shift state and increase your sense of wellbeing.

If you've ever wondered why every time life/business gets good… you suddenly freeze, spiral, overthink, shut down, or blow it up? This episode is your awakening. Because “expanding your capacity” isn't about meditating more, journaling harder, or trying to be a spiritually enlightened robot. Capacity is your tolerance for change, your ability to hold more, and the energetic bandwidth your nervous system feels safe operating in. Every new level of success comes with a bigger load to hold money, clients, visibility, pressure, opportunity, emotional intensity AND, if your system isn't calibrated for that level? Boom. You hit your next brick-wall edge. Today, we're breaking down: WTF capacity actually is (and why you keep hitting your edge) The  science behind why you can't hold success How to expand your “brick-wall thresholds” without spiralling The real reason you sabotage when things get good How to build a nervous system that can finally hold the life you're creating If you've tried strategy, mindset work, affirmations, and still can't seem to sustain momentum: capacity is the missing piece.

Ever wondered what happens when sales training expertise meets veteran transition needs? In this conversation with Michele McManamon, CEO and Co-Founder of Operation New Uniform, Cam and Otis explore how a single scholarship offer evolved into a national movement helping veterans build meaningful civilian careers."We're not teaching them how to interview, we're teaching them how to sell," Michele explains, sharing how ONU helps veterans translate their military experience into success beyond service. What began as one scholarship to her Sandler sales program has grown into an organization that's impacted over 700 servicemembers, veterans, and military spouses across 28 states.From expanding veterans' career perspectives to sharing stories of transformation, Michele offers valuable insights into the challenges of transition and the power of mindset. As Otis puts it, “Every time I stood up in front of the boss and said, ‘This is what I think we should do'… I was selling.

What does it take to deliver anesthesia in a hospital with no ventilator, scarce medication, and power that cuts out mid-surgery? Today we're joined by Dr. Mark Newton, pediatric anesthesiologist and longtime medical missionary, Mary Mungai, one of Kenya's first licensed nurse anesthetists and a leader in anesthesia education across East Africa; and Jackie Rowles, IFNA President and founder of Our Hearts Your Hands will take ​you ​far ​beyond ​the ​walls ​of ​the ​US ​Hospitals ​and ​surgery ​centers ​into ​low ​income ​countries ​where ​nurse ​anesthetists ​are ​delivering ​care ​under ​some ​of ​the ​most ​resource-limited ​and ​demanding ​conditions ​in ​the ​world.   Together, they share extraordinary stories of resilience, courage, and compassion — from training the first nurse anesthetists in Kenya to bringing safe anesthesia to war-torn regions like South Sudan and Somaliland. It's a look at how education, mentorship, and global partnerships are transforming access to safe surgical care — one provider, one patient, and one country at a time.

Behind every legendary hotel reopening is a team that makes the impossible look effortless. I spoke with Mary D'Argenis-Fernandez, President of MDA Hospitality Solutions, about her company's incredible work training the team at the newly reopened Waldorf Astoria New York — one of the most anticipated returns in hospitality. Mary explains how her team prepared staff across every outlet — from Peacock Alley to Lex Yard — to deliver flawless service from day one. We also explore how training drives profitability, retention, and guest satisfaction in today's high-turnover world. This conversation on #NoVacancyNews is a reminder that hospitality excellence starts with investment in people.

In this episode of The Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with Mike Stohler—Navy veteran, former airline pilot, and now co-founder of Gateway Private Equity Group to talk about the highs, lows, and pivots that shaped his real estate journey.   Mike's story is a masterclass in perseverance and reinvention. He went from losing everything in his early 20s to owning and managing over 1,500 multifamily units and expanding into hotel investing across the U.S. and Spain.   We cover how he turned failure into fuel, built confidence through education and mentorship, and made the leap from W-2 employment to full-time investing. Mike also shares his transition from multifamily to hospitality and how partnering with experienced operators helped him scale internationally.   If you've ever struggled with fear, self-doubt, or analysis paralysis, this episode will show you what's possible when you commit to learning, surround yourself with the right people, and take calculated risks toward financial freedom.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:06 Refocusing before the new year and setting goals for 2026 02:02 Meet Mike Stohler: Navy vet, former airline pilot, and real estate entrepreneur 04:01 Buying properties with no experience and losing everything 05:29 Learning resilience through military discipline and rebuilding after failure 07:27 The mindset shift from fear to action—"Just make the move" 09:28 The biggest fears holding investors back and how to overcome them 11:05 Why mentors and proximity are the ultimate accelerators for success 12:06 The power of partnership: how to shadow and learn from experienced investors 17:01 Balancing family, business, and burnout while making the transition from W-2 19:42 "Apartments are not hotels"—why hospitality is a completely different game 21:14 Building partnerships with experienced operators and profit-sharing structures 23:38 Why Spain?
