Podcasts about Fall in Love

Why do some homes feel timeless while others look dated within a few years? Annie Meyers-Shyer—the creator behind @thisoakhouse, former Chanel and Harper's Bazaar PR executive, and daughter of legendary filmmaker Nancy Meyers—joins Molly and Emese to share the design philosophy that's made millions fall in love with her approach to interiors. Annie explains how documenting her own family renovation unexpectedly led to a bestselling design book, then shares the practical advice every homeowner should know: how to build mood boards that actually work, why she always asks "Will I love this in 10 years?", how to find a contractor you can trust, why every room needs something old, and why she refuses to color match paint. Whether you're renovating an entire house, refreshing one room, or simply want your home to feel more like you, this episode is packed with timeless design advice you'll come back to again and again.

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with Bible teacher, author, and The Bible Recap host Tara-Leigh Cobble for a conversation that might completely change the way you read Scripture. If you've ever opened the Bible and felt confused, overwhelmed, discouraged, or wondered if you're missing something, this episode is for YOU. Together, they unpack one of the biggest mistakes Christians make when reading the Bible, why so many of us unknowingly read Scripture through the lens of culture instead of God's character, and how seeing the Bible the way it was intended changes everything. They also talk about why reading the entire Bible matters, what happens when verses are taken out of context, and how to move from simply reading God's Word to genuinely knowing and loving Him through it. As always... be sure to stay you and stay true!   Topics we dive into: -Are you reading the Bible the way it was meant to be read? -Why do so many Christians struggle to understand Scripture? -Why does reading the entire Bible matter? -What is the Trinity? -What does it actually mean to fall in love with God's Word?   Helpful Resources: The Bible Recap by Tara-Leigh Cobble: https://www.thebiblerecap.com/ The Joy of the Trinity by Tara-Leigh Cobble: https://a.co/d/0fBssi8C Dare To Be True by Madison Prewett Troutt: https://a.co/d/gdfpHX5 Stay True Website: https://www.staytruepodcast.com Stay True Merch: https://www.staytruepodcast.com/merch Veracity: For up to 65% off your order, head to VeracityHealth.co and use code STAYTRUE.

Send us Fan MailThey say “rest day,” but the Tour de France never really rests. We're back with a mid-race reset from the 2026 Tour de France, recapping where things stand after 15 stages and why Stage 16's individual time trial could still shake the leaderboard. Between huge mountains and unpredictable weather, the race has already delivered the kind of chaos that makes fans either fall in love with cycling or start yelling at the TV.We dig into the biggest storylines: Pogacar's wins and the growing talk of cycling immortality, Evenepoel's breakthrough road stage and his best shot to gain time against the clock, and Pidcock's high-risk breakaway style that brings points, penalties, and controversy. We also talk crashes and the weird moments that can flip a Grand Tour in seconds, plus the reality that even proven winners can hit total exhaustion in the high mountains.Then we go where cycling always leads sooner or later: anti-doping. We unpack what it means when riders get woken up at 2 a.m. or 5 a.m. for testing, how the athlete biological passport fits into modern enforcement, and why storing samples for 10 years is both reassuring and unsettling. Along the way we debate what “fair” looks like when sleep, recovery, and performance are all tied together, and we ask whether today's systems match what the sport needs in 2026.If you're following the Tour de France, love time trials, or just want smarter cycling analysis without the fluff, hit play.

It's Marvel Monday and we're entering the Ten Rings! ABOUT SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS Shang-Chi, the master of weaponry-based Kung Fu, is forced to confront his past after being drawn into the Ten Rings organization. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS September 3, 2021 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS Director: Destin Daniel Cretton Writers: Dave Callaham, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Lanham Cast: Simu Liu as Shaun/Shang-Chi Awkwafina as Katy Tony Leung Chiu-wai as Xu Wenwu Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery Meng'er Zhang as Xialing Fala Chen as Li Michelle Yeoh as Ying Nan BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS A thousand years ago, a dude named Xu Wenwu discovers the mystical ten rings which grant godly powers including immortality. He gains crazy power and wealth for the next 1000 years. In 1996, Wenwu searches for Ta Lo, a village said to harbor mythical beasts. He travels through a magical forest to the village entrance but is stopped by a guardian, Ying Li. They flirt via fighting and fall in love. They end up having two kids, Shang-Chi & Xialing. In the present day, Shang-Chi works as a parking valet in the States with his best friend Katy. One day, they are attacked on a bus by men who steal a pendant that Li gave to Shang-Chi. We find out that the Ta Lo villagers rejected Wenwu so Li chose to leave with him. Wenwu abandoned his organization and locked away the ten rings. But clearly something's happened! Shang-Chi & Katy go to find Xialing, because they assume it was the Ten Rings that took his pendant and will go after the matching one Xialing has. They find Xialing at a secret fight club which she founded after escaping from Wenwu at 16. The Ten Rings attack the fight club and capture Shang-Chi, Katy, & Xialing. At the Ten Rings' compound, Wenwu uses the pendants to reveal a mystical map leading to Ta Lo. Wenwu explains that he has heard Li calling and believes she has been held captive in Ta Lo behind a sealed gate. He plans to destroy the village unless they release her. But that's not possible because she's dead. When Shang-Chi is seven years old, Li is murdered by Wenwu's enemies, the Iron Gang. Knowing his dad is crazy, they are like nah. We aren't helping you. They escape with the aid of disgraced actor Trevor Slattery and his mystical friend Morris, who guides them through the enchanted forest to Ta Lo. The group meets Li's sister Ying Nan who makes sure they are trained up. Wenwu and the Ten Rings arrive and attack. Wenwu overpowers Shang-Chi, and attacks the Gate he thinks his wife is being held behind. Turns out it's not his wife, it's the Dweller-in-Darkness. Wenwu saves Shang-Chi but is killed by the Dweller-in-Darkness. He gives the rings over to Shang-Chi before he dies. Shang-Chi and company are able to slay the Dweller-in-Darkness. Afterward, Shang-Chi and Katy return to San Francisco where no one believes their story. The sorcerer Wong shows up to get them. In a mid-credits scene, Wong introduces Shang-Chi and Katy to Bruce Banner and Carol Danvers and the group discusses the origins of the rings.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Tyler Tisue. We discuss: Tyler explains why land investors need a "base hit" mindset instead of always swinging for the fence. How EHD wiped out Iowa's mature bucks—and why Tyler predicts giant bucks return within two to three years. Tyler reveals 86% of Iowa farms are owned outright, with zero debt against them. A Twitter poll shows 44% of farmers expect a profit in 2026, only 25% expect to lose money. The wild story of an Amish family bidding war that pushed land to $250 per CSR point. Why most recreational land buyers 1031 exchange instead of holding a farm forever. Tyler previews his 86-acre Van Buren County, Iowa auction on August 5, split into two tracts. Jake previews his 40-acre Hancock County, Illinois auction, home to a booner buck shot last season. Tyler breaks down why today's roughly 6.5% interest rates are historically normal, not a red flag. Tyler's rule for every seller: never fall in love with a farm you're planning to sell. And so much more!

Episode 3082: Dr. Diana Kirschner explains that finding the right partner is often less about instant fireworks and more about building a relationship grounded in friendship, mutual admiration, growing attraction, and emotional security. She shares the key signs of a healthy, lasting connection along with practical ways to nurture chemistry when it doesn't appear immediately, offering listeners a hopeful and realistic perspective on finding lasting love. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://lovein90days.com/4-things-that-happen-when-you-find-the-right-one/ Quotes to ponder: "When you find the right one: You feel like you've met someone who could be a great friend." "You can be real and authentic with him. There is more ease, more playfulness and less anxiety." "Studies show that people who are emotionally aroused, whether by joy, fear, or any feeling, fall in love more easily. As two love researchers once wrote, “Adrenaline makes the heart grow fonder.”" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ok - I talk about harp happiness a lot. Really a lot. That's because playing the harp has always brought me happiness. Sure, playing the harp is hard work sometimes, and I've had my share of frustration too, but for me the challenges are outweighed by the joy every time. It's the joy that keeps me going and I hope that your own harp happiness sustains and inspires you too. I mention this because I have a special guest on today's show and she positively radiates harp happiness. Her name is Alexandra Chang, and if you haven't heard of her already, just listening to her talk about her love of music and the harp is going to make you fall in love with her.  Alex is an electric acoustic harpist and composer and as you will hear, much of her performing is collaborative improvisation, particularly with the Rock City Falls Trio, a cross-genre ensemble. She recently completed a Jazz and Sonic Music residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity for performance and composition and premiered the work A Shared Woven Melody at the Jazz and Sonic Arts Concert as part of their 2024 Gather Listen Hear Summer Arts Festival. She was awarded the 2025 Art Connects Artist Grant. Art Connects is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts & New York State. She teaches at Rutgers University as an Associate Professor of Practice at the Arts, Culture and Media Department. She is also the co-director of Improv Spaces and runs the Improv Spaces Music Festival, based in upstate New York, with creative partner percussionist Adam Forman.  But before I play our conversation for you, I want to preview three things she mentions that give a more complete picture of her musicianship than just the raw facts from her bio. First, she practices the pedal harp every day. Second, she always has music by Bach on her music stand. And third, she's only been playing the harp for six years. Yep, I couldn't believe it either.  I will play a clip from one of the selections on her album at the end of our conversation. I want you to hear from her first. So without any more delay, here is my conversation with harpist Alexandra Chang. Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Where to find Alex: Her website: https://www.alexchangmusic.com/ Her bandcamp link: https://alexchang.bandcamp.com/ The Topos Festival where Alex will be playing with the Rock City Falls Trio: Improv Spaces | Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) Improv Spaces Music Festival on Sept. 6: Improv Spaces Music Festival | Troy Savings Bank Music Hall  Get involved in the show!

K1's machines now support on-chain and Lightning purchases with full self-custody, cutting out Strike, Blink, and OpenNode entirely. Edgar demos a live on-chain purchase and explains why every K1 transaction is RBF disabled, so once it's broadcast, it's final.K1 machines now run in 28 countries. That growth reflects real tech innovation in Bitcoin hardware, built for the global market from day one. The team solved for different bill sizes, currencies, and KYC rules in every country they shipped to. Edgar covers how KYC gets configured machine by machine, why K1 stays buy-only for now, and a cash-dispensing module already demoed at the Adopting Bitcoin conference.Small business owners get a direct pitch here. Edgar walks through the three K1 tiers, Mini, Mini Plus, and Mini Global, plus pricing and why the bill acceptor is the hardest part to build. If you're exploring digital asset management or a new source of business growth, a Bitcoin ATM in a coffee shop or corner store is a low-friction way to start.Then there's Bolivia. Edgar saw a fiat currency failing in real time, banks offering 6 Bolivianos to the dollar while the street rate hit 10. The government built its own workaround digital payments network just to keep money moving. This is what pulls people toward hard money. Watching their savings shrink every week, people in Cochabamba are turning to Bitcoin.Edgar also shares K1's education tools: a crayon-and-paper workshop that teaches private keys, and a board game called MerkColor that teaches Merkle trees in under a minute. He talks about pitching investors an estimated 5,000 times on a Bitcoin startup accelerator and reality show, plus his advice for founders: fall in love with the problem you're solving.

When I decided to expand beyond my blog and start interviewing authors on Zoom, it was the height of COVID. Book tours had been canceled, but one thing hadn't changed: people were still reading. I took a chance and started reaching out to authors, hoping they'd say yes to chatting with me from home.One of the very first authors to say yes was Kerri Maher. As a fellow Massachusetts native, I was especially excited to connect with her, and I've been a fan ever since.Today, I'm thrilled to officially welcome Kerri to Books Are Chic for the very first time as we celebrate her gorgeous new historical novel, Summer of Love.This is a beautiful story about music, motherhood, family, love, secrets, and the transformative spirit of California in the late 1960s. It's immersive, emotional, and completely transports you to another time and place.We talked about the incredible research behind the novel, her travels to California, how her writing has evolved since we first met, and why this era continues to captivate readers. Kerri has a remarkable gift for making historical fiction feel immediate and relevant, and her novels always leave me heading down fascinating Google rabbit holes—or, in this case, creating the ultimate summer-inspired '60s playlist.I can't wait for you to listen to this conversation and fall in love with Summer of Love.

Under the Buldrick Empire's rule, Owena finds herself fighting alongside a rebel force. Her aptitude for strategy and swordsmanship come to the fore.

What does it actually take to build healthy relationships? In this Therapy Thursdays episode, John Kim answers some of the most common questions about love, healing, attachment, and personal growth. From redefining what it means to fall in love to understanding why peace is something you give yourself - not something you find - this episode explores the inner work that shapes the way we connect with others. John shares practical insights on anxious attachment, healing after toxic relationships, rupture and repair, emotional safety, and why the healthiest relationships are built through daily choices rather than fleeting feelings. He also explores the importance of studying yourself, accepting impermanence, and living a "through me" life instead of feeling like life is happening to you. In this episode: • Why peace is something you can give yourself • What it means to live a "through me" life • Why self-help is really the lifelong study of self • How fear of impermanence fuels suffering • The qualities that should never be negotiable in relationships • The difference between falling in love and choosing to love • Signs you're in a healthy, secure relationship • Whether emotional attraction alone is enough • Why every relationship requires rupture and repair • Understanding anxious attachment when you're apart from your partner • How healthy relationships can help support emotional healing • What your nervous system needs after a toxic relationship • Two questions that can help guide your life and relationships

Tread Perilously's summer grab bag month continues with an episode of Automan called "Unreasonable Facsimile." When Walter is given the chance to develop a video game based on a popular prime time soap opera, Auto mistakenly watches the show instead of his assigned case files. The result: Auto wants to fall in love and experience the sort of passion dramatized on television. Meanwhile, Walter and Auto end up working a case involving a dead aerospace CEO and his beautiful daughter. Will she spark with Auto and will he learn about this thing humans call "love"? And will it prove he can make the intuitive leap necessary for true artificial intelligence? Is Automan finally finding its footing? Erik considers the possibility while Justin maintains it's just Automan. Delta Burke makes a rare appearance, leading to another episode of Tread Perilously Loves Delta Burke. Fellow guest star Glenn Corbett looks unreal throughout. The Hutts end up part of the plot for some reason. The pair debate how to pronounce director Winrich Kolbe's name.

Jesus for the Jews? God fearers? How to fall in love? Join Dr. David Anders on Called to Communion.

We have officially reached the penultimate film of our 2026 Summer Blockbusters lineup with the absolute biggest, wildest surprise smash hit of the entire year: Curry Barker's independent supernatural horror phenomenon, Obsession. Made on a micro-budget, this movie completely took over the box office, shattered all expectations, and left audiences absolutely stunned.To help handle the intense psychological discomfort of this modern cautionary tale, Mackenzie cooked up this week's custom cocktail - none other than The One Wish Willow - a smoky mezcal paired with blood colored berries to go with the gore.This week, we dive headfirst into the terrifying world of the One Wish Willow. We analyze Michael Johnston's performance as Bear, the music store employee who uses a mysterious novelty item to make his crush fall in love with him, and we absolutely gush over Inde Navarrette's star-making, powerhouse performance as Nikki. We break down the unsettling way the film balances pitch-black comedy with genuine dread, highlighting those deeply eerie, shadow-draped scenes that force you to scan the corners of the screen. We also debate the film's brilliant take on the "nice guy" trope, looking at how Bear becomes the true villain of his own story by stripping away Nikki's freedom just to satisfy his own ego. It is a tense, jaw-dropping, and deeply thought-provoking discussion that will make you rethink your dating life.If you want to hear us break down the exact moment this movie shifts from an awkward romantic comedy into a full-blown nightmare, this is the grand finale you cannot miss. We are blending our awe for a fresh new voice in horror with our usual banter to bring our summer blockbuster marathon to a triumphant, spine-chilling close.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

Do you ever get the itch to redecorate your entire house—especially when you've committed to not buying anything new? You're not alone. During Low Buy July, that desire for something fresh and new can feel overwhelming. But what if the solution isn't at the store? What if everything you need is already in your home? In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp sits down with Tenneil Register to explore the art of "shopping your own home." Tenneil, who brings a designer's eye to everyday spaces, shares how most of us have beautiful things in our homes—we've just stopped seeing them. What You'll Learn in This Episode How to walk through your home with fresh eyes—as if you just moved in or you're browsing someone else's estate sale The importance of "white space" and how clutter becomes an invisible backdrop Practical steps for a home walkthrough that doesn't end in chaos Creative ways to repurpose everyday objects (think: vintage hardware bins for shoes, old trim turned into shelving) Why putting something away for 30 days can help you decide if you truly love it How to search for inspiration by object size, shape, and color—not just function Key Takeaways You don't have to be a minimalist to have a beautiful home. If you're a maximalist at heart, that's okay! The key is putting purpose and order to the pretty things you love. Create a staging area. Use a folding table or guest bed to gather items as you walk through your home. Separate your favorites from maybes, and have a donation box ready for the no's. Think about reassignment. Does this item need a new place in this room? A different room? A different season? If the answer is no to all three, it might be time to let it go. Set a time limit. This process can have a domino effect—suddenly you want every room to look its best. Give yourself boundaries so you don't get overwhelmed. Whether you're feeling the Low Buy July itch or simply want to fall in love with your home again, this episode offers practical, creative strategies to refresh your space without spending a dime.

What if falling in love with your next level was the thing that changed everything?In this episode, I teach one of the most powerful reframes you will ever come across when it comes to going after your next level because most of us have been taught that reaching our vision is about focusing harder, taking more action, and grinding towards what we want. And while that is part of the picture - it is not the whole picture.When you fall in love with someone, you do not have to remind yourself to think about them. You cannot get them off your mind. And when you bring that same quality of energy, that warmth, that certainty, that natural and easeful orientation, to your next level, your vision, the version of you on the other side everything shifts.Because the next level that is meant for you is the love child of your conscious and subconscious mind working together. And in this episode, I show you exactly what it takes to get both minds in the room, moving in the same direction, towards the same beloved.Topics covered on Why The Law Of Attraction Isn't Working:Why focusing on your vision isn't enough the two projections running simultaneously in your conscious and unconscious mindWhy obsessive focus can be counterproductive and the specific suggestion your unconscious mind is receiving when you forcing your vision"Guess what? You don't trust me" what your unconscious mind is really hearing when you force the focusWhat actually happens when the underlying belief clears and why the next level becomes a walk in the parkHow to fall in love with your next level, your vision, and the version of you on the other sideThe love child of your conscious and unconscious mind - what aligned manifestation actually looks and feels like.Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTube

This (almost) Fourth of July conversation originally appeared on Jenny Holland's channel, Saving Culture From Itself, but it's really a "collab," as they say in the pod-biz. Meghan has talked with Jenny before on YouTube livestreams, but this is the first time they've done an official podcast together. This conversation kept circling back to the kinds of tripwires and trigger points that cause people to tune out ideas before they even hear them—for instance my advocacy for Spencer Pratt in the L.A. mayoral race a few months ago and Jenny's support of . . . Brexit. (She lives in Belfast in Northern Ireland.) We also talked about how Meghan began her career at the tail end of the golden age of magazine journalism, and what it was like watching that world start to shift around 2012-13. Finally, in the spirit of the season, they talked about American exceptionalism, generosity of spirit, and Jenny's husband's 1987 trip to the US as part of the "Children of the Troubles" program — the trip that made him fall in love with this country.   Catch more of Jenny's cultural critiques directly on her YouTube channel:

Debora MastersonTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Debora Masterson. Debora is an author who just released her debut novel! 'Freedom Quest: A Love Story' follows the story of Grace and Michael who fall in love in the mid 1960s, break up, get back together, and some bits of the incredible life that happens to them during the space between. This book is roughly 85% true according to the author. The character of Grace is Debora, and the character of Michael is Craig. Debora's real life soul mate Craig Ingraham was a musical phenom and a prolific songwriter. He also lost his way, fell into some rough circumstances, and even unwittingly joined a cult! This book is a wild ride. There are drugs, mayhem, love, loss, cults, music, dancing, and even some famous people. Available wherever you get books, 'Freedom Quest: A Love Story' is also in the process of being turned into an audiobook. There is also a companion Spotify playlist which has songs from the actual band Freedom Quest, recorded back in the early 1970s. In this episode, Debora shares some of her personal reasons for writing this book, some of the fun times between her and her soul mate, and some of the stuff that didn't quite make the book. We also take a bit of a dive into her experiences with transcendental meditation (TM), and even a local historical landmark that she helped save. Buy the book, listen to the playlist, and check out the short documentary that she & Craig made to honor their fallen friend in Vietnam.

Brandon Carr helped build Old Dominion Football from the ground up.

Tom Astarita, founder of Modern Art Jiu Jitsu, is a highly regarded instructor known for his thoughtful, conceptual teaching style and innovative approach to leg locks and guard. He's trained with some of the best in the world and is dedicated to making Jiu-Jitsu accessible, fun, and sustainable.Most people think mastering hundreds of techniques is the key to unlocking Jiu-Jitsu greatness. Tom Astarita reveals a counterintuitive approach: focusing on just one or two "strange" moves, like the Baratoplata or Z-lock, can fundamentally transform your game. Rather than drowning in collections of techniques, learn how emphasizing concepts and simplicity accelerates your growth and keeps the art enjoyable.In this episode, Tom shares how his philosophy of "swords and shields" helps practitioners build a resilient, effective game without overcomplicating things. You'll discover: why most instruction is too dense and how to distill your training into core principles; the importance of safety, flow, and patient learning in progressing faster; and how adopting Japanese terminology brings clarity and focus to your technique. We also dive into how modern social media influences competition and why our love for the moment of rolling and competing can get clouded by highlight reels.Tom discusses how old-school Jiu-Jitsu prioritized genuine love for the art over social media fame, a mindset he believes we need to revive. He emphasizes that the best students are those who prioritize safety, presence, and a deep love for the craft over flashy moves or belts. Plus, Tom reveals his approach to gym ownership, blending community-building with concrete techniques, and how to keep your training fun, safe, and inspiring over the long haul.Whether you're a beginner looking to break through plateaus or a seasoned practitioner aiming for more meaningful progress, this episode will challenge conventional wisdom and inspire you to reframe your entire Jiu-Jitsu journey.

Frédéric Guitton: How iTarget Golf Is Gamifying the Future of Driving Ranges What if the driving range became more than just a place to hit a bucket of golf balls? In this episode of The Gametime Guru Podcast, Shane Larson sits down with Frédéric Guitton, Chief Revenue Officer of iTarget Golf, to talk about golf technology, driving range innovation, sports business, and how gamification is changing the way people experience the game of golf. This conversation is for golfers, driving range owners, golf course operators, sports entrepreneurs, families, and anyone interested in how technology can enhance sports experiences without taking away from the game itself. Frédéric shares how iTarget Golf is helping driving ranges create a more interactive and memorable experience through LED targets, interactive bay lights, ball tracking integration, and gamified golf experiences that reward players in real time. Instead of the traditional driving range experience where someone simply buys a bucket of balls and hits into an open field, iTarget Golf helps facilities create moments of instant feedback, competition, and entertainment. The goal is to make practice more fun, help golfers build confidence, attract new audiences, and give range owners new ways to grow their business. We talk about the gap between traditional golf practice facilities and high-end golf entertainment venues, and why there is a huge opportunity for driving ranges to become more engaging, more visual, and more family-friendly. Frédéric also explains several iTarget Golf products and concepts, including Night Saber, Strike Point, in-bay interactive lights, and Cash Cup Golf. Each product is designed to create a better player experience while also helping golf facilities improve customer retention, increase engagement, and create new revenue opportunities. In this episode, we talk about: How iTarget Golf is gamifying the driving range experience Why golf technology is changing the way people practice How LED golf targets create instant feedback for players Why driving ranges need to think beyond buckets of balls How range owners can create better customer experiences The difference between traditional golf practice and golf entertainment Why families and casual golfers are important to the future of golf How driving ranges can attract a wider audience How gamification can help build golfer confidence Why technology should enhance the sports experience, not take it over The business side of golf facilities and revenue growth Affordable installation and practical implementation for range owners Weather, maintenance, warranty, and operational questions How iTarget Golf is installing systems around the world The future of sports technology and golf innovation One of the biggest themes of this episode is that technology works best when it enhances the experience. Frédéric explains that the mission is not just to sell targets. It is to help create better memories, better practice sessions, better family experiences, and more opportunities for people to fall in love with golf. Whether you are a golfer looking for a more enjoyable way to practice, a driving range owner looking to grow your business, or someone interested in the business side of sports technology, this episode offers a fascinating look at where golf entertainment is headed.

Artist, singer, designer, muse, creative director, and Tumblr icon KESH has never been too interested in adhering to the typical standards of beauty.

This level of “divine creativity” as KESH puts it, is what made me - along with so many others - fall in love with her. From spray painting the back of her classmates' uniforms in Croydon, to collaborating with American Apparel, to creative directing a Good American shoot with TLC, tune in as we discuss KESH's creative journey, inspirations, use of beauty as a form of armor and so much more.
