Podcasts about fire pits

In this conversation, Jason and his son, Ethan, sit down with Jim Lovejoy for an honest, deeply personal discussion about leaving behind performance-based Christianity and discovering the freedom of beloved identity. Jimmy shares his remarkable journey from Marine, coach, and revival-driven evangelist to a father, mentor, and voice calling people into rest, family, and the love of God. The guys explore the difference between striving and learning, revival and reformation, church as an event versus church as family, and why the future of the Kingdom may look more like fire pits, shared meals, and authentic relationships than polished stages. If you've ever wondered whether God's love is bigger than your performance, this conversation offers hope, healing, and a fresh vision of what it means to follow Jesus.For more info on Jim: https://www.thenorthgateoh.com/JOIN A Family Story's Mailing Listhttps://dashing-field-76805.myflodesk.com/pie4be6wtoJOIN the Rethinking God with Tacos Facebook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/godandtacosFollow Rethinking God with Tacos on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/rethinkinggodwithtacos/Follow Jason's personal Facebook page at:https://www.facebook.com/afamilystory.org/Follow Jason on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/jasonclarkis/Follow Jason on X at: https://x.com/jasonclarkis SEND A DONATION!!https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/36393kxxeh8

Send us Fan MailI tell you my favorite part of my Scotland Trip and tie it to a great story about Mary Queen of Scots and a severed head! The Tom Sandoval and Victoria Lee Robinson fire pit video just dropped and I have exclusive details that are NOT being reported anywhere else. I'm breaking down exactly what was really happening in that room before the cameras caught it, why Tom Sandoval pushed Victoria Lee Robinson's father Will Robinson into the lit fire pit, and the real reason this all exploded on June 3rd. I also walk you through Vanderpump Rules Alumni, Tom Sandoval's entire toxic relationship history with Kristen Doute, Ariana Madix, Rachel Leviss, and now Victoria Lee Robinson because once you see the pattern across every single relationship, you will never look at this Vanderpump Rules star the same way again. Was Tom Sandoval the victim here or is this the same playbook he always runs? I'm giving you the timeline, the receipts, and the tea that changes everything. I also got EXCLUSIVE TEA that no one else has about this story and most of that is in the Dishing Drama Dana Patreon! I'm dropping the bombshell detail about something Tom Sandoval allegedly forced Victoria Lee Robinson to do that caused her tremendous pain, the proof that could blow up his entire case, the real reason Ladies of London: The New Reign got cancelled and who I think is behind the rumor going around, a Caroline Manzo family member taking shots at Jacqueline Laurita, and Part 2 of my mind-blowing conversation with UAP filmmaker Darcy Weir exposing every single Cosmic Disclosure grifter on Gaia TV one by one — and trust me, you have never heard anything like it.

Toronto wasn't where I expected to find the next chapter of FAN48.After swapping Miami sunshine for Canadian rain, I find myself in a downtown sports bar wondering whether I've already grown tired of giant screens and manufactured fan zones. But as ever, the story isn't in the football. It's in the people.An Ecuadorian supporter and her Canadian fiancée explain why representing a small nation on the World Cup stage matters. A bartender reflects on how football is bringing strangers together across one of the world's most multicultural cities. A Qatari engineering student wrestles with what home means after moving halfway around the world. And somewhere in between, I discover a quiet Toronto bar where the football is simply happening in the background and the conversations take centre stage.This is FAN48 at its simplest: no pundits, no tactics boards, just people gathering around the same game for very different reasons.Host: Rob Shaw CameronFAN48: fan48.infoInstagram: @fan48podWhatsApp: +44 7518 715948#Toronto #Ecuador #WorldCupFans #CulturalConnections #FAN48

Yosemite is one of the most visited national parks in America, attracting more than 4 million visitors every year. But when it comes to short-term rentals, the opportunity may be even bigger than most investors realize. In this week's Monday Market Data Report, Mark Lumpkin breaks down the Yosemite STR market, including travel demand, regulations, seasonality, and the amenities that separate average properties from true standouts.Here's what the data shows: Fire Pits → 64% of listings  Hot Tubs → 61%  Pools → 13%  Home Gyms → 13%  Game Rooms → 10%  Saunas → 8%  Playgrounds → 6%  Waterfront → 4%  Pickleball Courts → 1% The takeaway?Most Yosemite rentals stop at a fire pit and hot tub.

The backyard has become more than a place to grill, sit, or pass through on the way back inside. Increasingly, it is being treated as an extension of the home itself: a gathering place, a design statement, and a stage for the small rituals that bring people together. Solo Stove has leaned into that evolution, transforming fire, outdoor cooking, and even cooling into thoughtfully designed experiences that make gathering outside feel easier, warmer, and more memorable.As outdoor spaces become central to gathering, brands face a bigger challenge: creating products that shape the experience, not just serve a function. So how does Solo Stove use thoughtful product differentiation to turn backyard products into outdoor rituals people want to return to?Welcome to DisruptED. Host Ron J. Stefanski speaks with Markus Allemann, SVP of Product at Solo Stove, about how the company is building beyond its original fire pit identity into a wider portfolio of outdoor products. Their conversation looks at how differentiation shows up across Solo Stove's product experience, from durability, testing, and materials to outdoor cooking, gas fire pits, cooling products, and the design details that make backyard gatherings feel more memorable.The main topics of conversation…Differentiation is the product strategy. Allemann argues that Solo Stove's edge comes from differentiating every touchpoint, from the visuals and buying journey to unboxing, assembly, performance, materials, cleaning, and long-term durability.Small design choices create emotional loyalty. In the episode, Allemann points to details like griddle knobs, lid hinges, handles, flame patterns, airflow, and heat output as examples of product thinking that customers may not consciously analyze but feel in use.Solo Stove is expanding from heat into year-round outdoor experiences. The discussion moves from wood-burning and gas fire pits to griddles and cooling products, including an outdoor air-conditioning cooler designed to extend the brand's relevance into summer gatherings, beach days, soccer games, and other warm-weather occasions.Markus Allemann is a global product development and engineering leader with more than 30 years of experience across new product development, innovation, manufacturing, quality, operations, and scaling startups. He has developed and launched consumer and commercial products for major brands including Bosch, Dremel, SKIL, Hoover, Dirt Devil, Honeywell, Braun, Vicks, PUR, Victory, and Solo Stove. His career spans leadership roles across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the U.S., with deep expertise in product design, value engineering, sourcing, lean manufacturing, and building global teams.

PAID TO BE A CYCLE BREAKER - Get Your Ticket Here https://www.skool.com/breadwinner-energy-club-7485 The coaching industry is a multi-billion dollar machine and it was not built for you.The frameworks are white. The pricing psychology is white. The launch models are white. And the “manifesting”? Stripped from traditions that white women repackaged and sold back to you without credit, context, or medicine.In this episode of the Breadwinner Energy® Podcast, I'm breaking down what it actually looks like to decolonize your business not as a concept, but as a daily practice. I'm naming the five colonial systems that have been passed down through your family line and showing up in your business right now: silence and obedience, hustle culture, disconnection from intuition, over-giving, and limited access to wealth and power.Then I'm giving you five things you can decolonize in your business today your offer structure, your pricing, your sales process, your content, and your definition of success.If you're a woman of color building a healing based business and something has always felt off about the strategies you've been taught — it's because they were never made for someone like you. This episode is your permission slip to burn the map and build the road.This episode covers:What decolonization actually means (and what it doesn't)The 5 colonial systems still running your life and businessHow patriarchal and colonial frameworks show up in pricing, offers, sales, and contentWhy hustle culture is a colonial inheritance, not a work ethicHow to stop over-delivering, over-explaining, and doing emotional labor for clientsWhy reclaimed wealth is more than money — it's time, health, peace, and legacyHow to build from YOUR roots instead of someone else's template1. Silence and ObedienceColonial systems rewarded women especially women of color for being quiet, compliant, and self-sacrificing. In business, this shows up as diluting your messaging, softening your truth, and making yourself palatable for audiences that were never yours to serve.2. Hustle CultureHustle, struggle, and sacrifice have been glorified for generations. it's a colonial inheritance. Decolonizing your business means allowing yourself to rest, to build wealth in a way that feels good, and to stop treating burnout as proof that you're doing it right.3. Disconnection from Intuition and Cultural RootsSystems like organized religion and Western education were designed to make women distrust their own inner knowing. Your intuition, your cultural wisdom, your ancestral practices — these are not “woo.” They are your competitive advantage and the foundation of your medicine.4. Over-GivingIf you're over-delivering, over-explaining, and doing emotional labor for your clients — that's not leadership. That's codependency. Decolonizing your business means teaching your clients to be empowered, not dependent. It means charging for your energy, not just your time.5. Limited Access to Wealth and PowerWomen of color have been historically excluded from wealth, ownership, and leadership. Decolonizing your business means rewriting your relationship with money, power, and leadership — and building wealth from a place of truth rather than trauma.Then I give you 5 things to decolonize right now: your offer structure, your pricing model, your sales process, your content strategy, and your definition of success.

In this week's Monday Market Data Report, Mark Lumpkin breaks down the amenity data for The Poconos — one of the most competitive and heavily amenitized STR markets in the country.This episode reveals a massive truth about the Poconos:Amenities aren't optional. They're everything.Using data from STR Search, we break down what top-performing properties are doing differently — and why some homes generate $250K+ per year while others struggle to break even in the exact same location.Here's what the data shows:• Fire Pits (83%) → +$42,750/year • Hot Tubs (75%) → +$45,600/year • Game Rooms (71%) → +$41,100/year • Playgrounds (41%) → +$55,000/year • Saunas (19%) → +$21,000/year • Movie Theaters (13%) → +$58,000/yearThe takeaway is clear: amenity stacking drives revenue in the Poconos.Properties with multiple high-impact amenities consistently outperform — while under-amenitized homes fall far behind, even if they share the same location, views, and bedroom count.If you're investing in the Poconos, this episode gives you the blueprint to compete — and win.Subscribe for market data every Monday and expert guests every Friday.

What if the thing that almost destroyed your family is the exact thing you're supposed to get paid for?Paid to Be a Cycle Breaker: GET YOUR TICKET https://www.skool.com/breadwinner-energy-club-7485Not in a cute inspirational quote way. In a this-is-my-intellectual-property-and-it-funds-my-children's-future way.In this episode of the Breadwinner Energy® Podcast, I'm breaking down what it actually means to be paid to be a cycle breaker and how your inherited abuse, trauma, and poverty become the foundation of a business that reclaims wealth.I'm teaching you the 3-part framework for turning your ashes into intellectual property: how to identify your inherited pattern, how to turn your survival into a story arc that sells, and how to stop giving away the most valuable asset your business will ever have.If you're a woman of color, an indigenous woman, a healer, or a practitioner who came from something hard and you know your story is worth more than a caption this is the episode that changes how you see your entire business model.1. Identify Your Inherited PatternEvery cycle breaker carries an inherited pattern — abuse, poverty, addiction, silence, abandonment. This isn't your shame. It's your raw material. I walk you through how to name the generational pattern you were born to disrupt and why that pattern is the origin of your entire methodology.2. Turn Your Survival Into a Story ArcYour story has three parts: the wound (what was done to you), the wilderness (how you survived it), and the reclamation (what you built from the ashes). This arc isn't content. It's the backbone of your brand. It goes in your sales page, your podcast, your offer name, your framework — everywhere. I teach you how to map yours.3. Claim Your Story as Intellectual PropertyYour story is not a freebie. It's not a lead magnet. It's intellectual property. It's a methodology. It's something people should pay to learn from because nobody else survived exactly what you survived and turned it into exactly what you're turning it into. The moment you make the switch from “sharing” to “transferring mastery,” your pricing, your positioning, and your confidence change permanently.If this episode hit you in the chest, this is your invitation to come sit at the fire.Paid to Be a Cycle Breaker is a 3-day live experience happening inside the Fire Pit April 27–29, 2026. Over three days, we take your inherited abuse, trauma, and poverty and turn it into the thing that funds your family. Your story becomes your mastery. Your mastery becomes intellectual property. Your IP becomes wealth.JOIN THE FIRE PIT

Taxes and government policies can turn the cozy world of homeownership into a rollercoaster ride of headaches and surprises, and that's exactly what Eric is diving into today. With a keen eye on the Portland metro area, he spills the tea on how local woes, like homelessness and mental health issues, are affecting property values and creating a domino effect on homeowners. You won't believe the steep discounts investors are taking on commercial buildings—talk about a fire sale! He also gives us the lowdown on Washington's new income tax and how those millionaires are packing their bags faster than you can say “tax evasion.” So buckle up as we explore how these fiscal shenanigans impact us all, whether we own a home or just dream of one!Gather around, folks! Eric G. has another juicy mid-week update for us, and this one is packed with insights on how taxes and government shenanigans are turning the homeowner's world upside down. Eric's easy-going style makes it feel like you're just hanging out, but trust me, the topics he tackles are nothing to sneeze at. Starting with a sobering look at Portland's struggles with homelessness and mental health, he connects the dots between societal issues and housing market trends, suggesting that it's not just about building more homes – it's about addressing the root causes of displacement and instability. He then segues into the tax situation in Washington state, where a new income tax has popped up like that annoying ad you can't skip. Eric's take on this is both humorous and critical, especially when he highlights how big names are fleeing the state in the wake of higher taxes. It's a classic case of “tax the rich, and they'll just take their ball and go home,” which could have serious implications for the local economy and, by extension, homeowners. Eric's witty banter keeps the mood light while addressing the heavy reality of these issues, reminding us all to stay vigilant about the policies that affect our pocketbooks. As the episode progresses, Eric encourages listeners to be proactive in their communities and to hold local leaders accountable. He shares anecdotes that illustrate how decisions made in city halls can have direct impacts on our neighborhoods, from rising energy costs to quirky regulations that seem to exist just to irritate homeowners. With a blend of humor and earnestness, he drives home the point that we all need to engage with the political landscape – after all, it's our homes and communities on the line. So, whether you're a homeowner or just someone who values stable neighborhoods, this episode is a must-listen!Takeaways:In today's episode, Eric sheds light on how taxes and government policies can significantly impact homeowners, highlighting the need for residents to stay informed and engaged.The struggles in the Portland metro area with homelessness and drug addiction are not just social issues, but they directly affect property values and community safety.Washington state just passed an income tax that may face legal challenges, showcasing the ongoing debate about taxation and its implications for high earners and local economies.Eric emphasizes the importance of local governance and how certain laws, like those restricting fire pits, can seem arbitrary and unfair to homeowners, urging listeners to hold officials accountable.The episode discusses how rising taxes and fees are often a result of governmental spending issues, rather than a need for higher taxation, which ultimately burdens homeowners.As the weather turns wild with rain and potential flooding, Eric reminds listeners to prepare their homes and stay safe while navigating these seasonal challenges.Links referenced in this episode:aroundthehousonline.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:Eric G.Elephants DelicatessenStarbucksHoward SchultzThanks for listening to Around the house if you want to hear more please subscribe so you get notified of the latest episode as it posts at https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/listenIf you want to join the Around the House Insider for access to the back catalog, Exclusive Content and a direct email to Eric G and access to the show early https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/support We love comments and we would love reviews on how this information has helped you on your house!

In this week's Monday Market Data Report, Mark Lumpkin breaks down the short-term rental amenity data for Bend, a popular mountain destination known for skiing, outdoor recreation, breweries, and year-round tourism.Using data from STR Search, this episode looks at which amenities top-performing properties are using to outperform their competition—and how much additional revenue those features can generate.Here's what the data shows in Bend:• Hot Tubs (59%) → +$16,834/year • Fire Pits (34%) → +$2,276/year • Home Gyms (11%) → +$8,004/year • Saunas (6%) → +$8,839/yearThe biggest takeaway? Bend is still lightly amenitized compared to many other STR markets.Some amenities—like pickleball courts and game rooms—are so rare they barely show up in the data, meaning investors who add them could dramatically differentiate their properties.If you're investing in Bend or considering a mountain market, this episode breaks down the amenities that can give your property a competitive edge.Need help finding the right property?

Halloween is here, and Open Space Radio is celebrating with one of our most hauntingly fun episodes yet. In this special episode, we sit around the virtual campfire to share a few eerie tales from park and recreation professionals. From ghostly encounters in historic parks to strange happenings at community events, this episode is packed with stories that remind us how our parks come alive (and sometimes come back to life) after dark. Halloween Celebrations Across the Country Before diving into the stories, we highlight some of the incredible ways communities are celebrating Halloween this year. In Denton, Texas, for example, the city celebrates all 31 days of October with more than 300 events and 30 placemaking experiences, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors downtown. Cobb County Parks in Georgia brings the scares with its ever-growing haunted house event, which has expanded into a seven-day attraction boasting 17,000 square feet of spine-tingling fun. And in Rutland, Vermont, a legendary Halloween parade continues its decades-long tradition of bringing the community together. True (and Truly Spooky) Stories From the Field The stories that follow are first-hand accounts from professionals who have experienced things that defy easy explanation: The Whistling at the Senior Center: In Wyoming, Michigan, a staff member setting up for an event alone on a Saturday heard whistling echoing through the darkened building, even though every door was locked. Elise's Watchful Spirit: At Farrel–McWhirter Park in Redmond, Washington, longtime staff have grown accustomed to the lingering presence of the park's original owner, Mrs. Elise Farrel–McWhirter. From flickering lights to the scent of pipe tobacco wafting through empty rooms, her spirit seems to remain as she lovingly watches over the land she donated more than a century ago. The Fire Pit at Great Pond: In Maine, a routine maintenance check took a terrifying turn when a park and recreation professional found himself face-to-face with a family of baby skunks and a very protective mother. This suspenseful (and slightly comedic) tale proves that not all scares are supernatural! The Ghost in the Mist: During a New Year's Eve event in Belfast, Maine, a director captured what appeared to be a face (and a specific finger) in a mysterious mist that appeared during a community bonfire. The photo, still a topic of conversation at city hall, left her with chills that haven't quite faded.   This episode of Open Space Radio is sponsored by the American Sports Builders Association:The American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) brings together the experts who design, build, and supply the sports facilities that bring communities to life. Their members are dedicated to creating safe, high-quality places where people can play, compete, and connect.

Send us a textOn today's Out In The Garage podcast I am going to unpack our upcoming Fire Pit Friday Night gathering. Men are drawn to a fire. There is something about men gathering around a fire that causes a connection that we don't find too many other places. Since it is difficult to get us around an actual fire, we are going to create our own.  We are inviting you to join us for a powerful evening of sharing of the word, worship, and connection designed to encourage and equip you to live boldly for Christ with men all over the globe. Here's your part in all this:1.Show up on Friday November 7th2. If you are able, invite other men to your home to join you on this Firepit Friday Night. Once we log off of our Virtual Fire Pit you can keep the conversation going.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome to another great show here on The Money Pit, where we're always here to remind you that you can do it yourself, but you don't have to do it alone! If you're a DIYer, join us for this week's top home improvement tips, including: - Home Improvement ROI: We unveil the top five home improvement projects that deliver the best return on your investment, perfect for boosting equity and impressing buyers. Learn why fall is a great time to start these projects due to cooler weather and more flexible contractor schedules. - DIY Pavestone Fire Pit: Get a step-by-step guide to building a modern square fire pit using Ladera Wall Block from Pavestone. This DIY-friendly project requires no cutting or special caps, making it a perfect weekend upgrade to transform your outdoor space with a rock-solid, heat-safe feature. - Color Trends for 2026: We explore the latest trends in color strategy for 2026, focusing on warm, earthy color palettes like terracotta, ochre, and olive, as well as soft textural neutrals and restorative darks. - Preventing Frozen Pipes: As the fall chill arrives, we offer crucial advice on preventing frozen pipes by disconnecting outdoor hoses, shutting off exterior spigots, and insulating exposed pipes in unheated areas.   Q & A: - Robert from Michigan wonders if an air heat pump would be a more efficient heating solution for his older house with electric baseboard heat. A mini-split system is very efficient, but it's best to set the thermostat and leave it, using baseboard heat only as a backup for extra chilly days. - Mary from Delaware is replacing her 25-year-old shingles and asks about a replacement attic fan versus a ridge vent. We recommend a continuous ridge vent paired with soffit vents instead, since attic fans can pull air-conditioned air from the house into the attic and increase cooling costs. - Thurman from Arkansas has a blank wall and wants to know what's needed to install a new window. While it's a DIY-doable project for a smaller window, we suggest hiring a pro if he's not comfortable with disassembling and reassembling a load-bearing wall. - Steve needs guidance on repairing crumbling grout on his front stoop. We advise chiseling out the old grout and vacuuming loose debris, then using a Type M mortar that's recommended for its strength and applied with a piping bag.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Can you safely have a fire pit or grill on your deck? We explore safety rules, product solutions, and why some setups void warranties.

SHOW NOTES: Hello there, Money Pit fans, and welcome back to the show where we help you make your good homes even better! Whether it's inside or outside, from your floorboards to your shingles, we are on your side! So give us a call at 888-Money-Pit to be part of the show. This hour, we cover a wide array of topics to help you protect your home, boost curb appeal, and even save you money. - Fall Cleanup Checklist: Check off your “to-do” list with essential fall cleanup tasks to get your home ready before the cold weather sets in, from gutters and gardens to garages and gear. - DIY Fire Pit: Turn up the heat in your backyard by easily building a beautiful and durable fire pit in minutes using Pavestone products. - Shower Mold: If you're dealing with a "fuzzy" shower, we'll walk you through the steps to safely remove old moldy caulk, prep the area, and reapply a fresh bead that will resist mold and mildew for years.   Q & A: - Michelle in Minnesota has moisture coming up through her laminate bathroom floor on a concrete slab. We advise checking exterior drainage and adding a bathroom vent fan or humidistat to address the issue. - Glenn in Florida asks about borax-treated cellulose attic insulation to control Formosan termites. While the idea isn't new, its overall effectiveness for whole-house Formosan termites is less common. - Grace has concerns about her 40-year-old concrete patio, which is discolored, raised, and dangerous. We suggest restoring the loose bricks and applying a finish, such as a stone veneer, thin pavers, or an acid stain, terrazzo, or slate treatment to the surface. - Wally is redoing his sunroom and is worried about the unevenness of the old, cracked concrete floor. We recommend using luxury vinyl plank or hybrid stone flooring, which can float over existing cracks, and sealing those cracks. - Pat in Arkansas discovered that her new heat pump was not effectively removing humidity from her home. We explain that a whole-house dehumidifier integrated into the HVAC system is the most effective solution for maintaining ideal home humidity levels. - Greg in Delaware needed help removing lime scale buildup on his shower door that resisted standard cleaners. We suggested a simple test with white vinegar to see if it's true lime scale or if the door's surface might be etched. - David has questions about his crawl space insulation that's falling down, insulating the walls, and the use of old foundation vents. We recommend supporting the existing insulation with wires and keeping foundation vents open for about nine months of the year to allow moisture to vent.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?
