    Jim Hill and Dan Graney unwrap a stocking full of Marvel mayhem in this fourth episode of the Marvel Us Disney reboot — a show equal parts MCU, theme-park history, and pop-culture cheer. They start with LEGO's new Marvel Avengers: Strange Tails (yes, that's T-A-I-L-S), plus a check-in on Jeremy Renner, David Harbour, and this year's Marvel merch blitz, Unwrap the Universe. From there it's on to the big one: Avengers: Doomsday. The Russos return, Robert Downey Jr. re-enters the MCU — as Doctor Doom — and the franchise looks to reset the board ahead of Secret Wars. Later, Jim and Dan explore Simu Liu's “love letter to superhero movies,” Patrick Stewart's possible farewell, and a “What If” worth debating — would Marvel even exist without the MCU? Finally, Jim opens the vault for Theme Park Archaeology, uncovering the Marvel attractions that never were — from Hong Kong's Oscorp Tower of Terror to Disneyland's unbuilt Wakanda expansion — and a first look at Rocket & Groot's Galaxy Spin coming to Disney Cruise Line. HIGHLIGHTS LEGO Marvel Avengers: Strange Tails debuts Nov 14 on Disney+ Avengers: Doomsday trailer drops Dec 19 with Avatar: Fire & Ash Simu Liu's “love letter” to superhero movies & Patrick Stewart's rumored retirement MCU legacy talk: Kang, Shuri, and the future of Black Panther Theme Park Archaeology: the Marvel rides that never made it to the parks Rocket & Groot's Galaxy Spin sets sail March 10, 2026 aboard the Disney Adventure Hosts Jim Hill — @JimHillMedia | @JimHillMedia | jimhillmedia.comDan Graney — @TheHubbubbery | @TheHubbubbery | thehubbubbery.com Support the Show Enjoy Marvel Us Disney?

Welcome back to another episode of the Peaceful Parenting Podcast. Today's episode is about why you shouldn't do special time, which is, I admit, a little bit of a provocative hook here. But it's something that Corey brought to my attention that we have been talking about a lot. And then after last week's podcast, we both agreed—after the podcast with Joanna and her complex kid—we both agreed we have to talk about this, because this is something that probably a lot of parents are feeling a lot of conflict, guilt, and shame around: not doing special time or not wanting to do special time or not being able to do special time.Sarah: Hey Corey. Welcome back to the podcast. Tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do.Corey: Hi, I am Corey Everett, and I am a trained peaceful parenting coach, and I work for Sarah. I live in Ontario, but I work with clients all over the world doing one-on-one coaching. And I myself am complex and have a complex child. And I have two kids. I never can remember this, but I have a 7-year-old and a 10-year-old.Sarah: I am glad you're not the only one who can't remember their kids' ages. I have to stop and think. Okay. Well, I'm so excited to talk about this. And this is actually something that you and I have talked about over the years, because you have found it really difficult to do special time with your complex kid. Maybe just tell us a little bit about what happened when you tried to do special time and why you eventually sort of gave it up. And, you know, this is something that Joanna in the podcast last week—the coaching podcast—she was talking about how she didn't want to do special time with her kid because she was so exhausted. So I think this is sort of like a two-part: why sometimes special time doesn't work for the kids and why it doesn't work for the parents. So let's start by talking about what happened when you would try to do special time with Big C, who's your 10-year-old.Corey: Okay, so when I would try and do special time with Big C, I actually found—first of all—I didn't really feel very present in it. I felt like I was trying to do it, but I felt like I didn't have a lot of energy for it. I think he could feel that. So I just didn't feel very engaged in it and I just felt exhausted, and it just felt like another thing on my to-do list. And so therefore he didn't necessarily enjoy it as much either.We did do a podcast—it'd be really great, I can put it in the show notes—where we talked about some things for peaceful parenting that aren't working, and I did a really good description in that one of why special time didn't work for him.Sarah: Okay.Corey: And so we can have them listen to that if they want more details on that part. Instead, I think I want to really focus on why it didn't work for me and why I'm finding with my clients it's not working for them either.Sarah: You know what, sorry to interrupt you. I realize we should really just say what special time is, in case—like it's such a gold standard of peaceful parenting—but there could be some parents listening to this, parents or caregivers who are newer to special time and might not know what it is.Special time—and there are, I think, some other brands of parenting that might have other names for it—but basically the gold standard is 15 minutes a day of one-on-one time with you and your child, where you put aside the to-do list, put away your phone, and some people suggest that you set a timer and say, “I'm all yours for the next 15 minutes. What do you want to play?” It's really immersing yourself in the child's world. That's one of the main ideas of special time: that we're immersed in our child's world of pretend play or some kind of play. It can be roughhousing or it can be playing Lego or dolls—something that is really child-centered and child-led.So that is special time. And let's take it from there. You had mentioned already that energetically it was really hard for you.Corey: I think the best way that I can explain this is if I paint the picture for you of what it looks like to be a parent of a complex kid. And—Sarah: Wait let's give a definition of complex—we've got to make sure we're covering the basics here. What's a complex kid?Corey: Okay, so a complex kid. This term, I first heard it from Elaine Taylor-Klaus—and we can also put in the show notes when you had her on the podcast. She is amazing. And basically, we're really often talking about neurodivergent kids here. But it can be more than that. It's just kids who need more.Sarah: It's that 20% of kids that we talk about—the 80% of kids who, you know, you say “Go put your shoes on and wait for me by the door,” and they go and do it and they don't have the extra big feelings. So in my idea of it, it can be neurodivergent and also spirited, sensitive, strong-willed. The kids who are not your average, typical kids. And I always say that when I tell people what I do—parenting coach—some people look at me like, “Why would anyone need a parenting coach?” and other people are like, “Oh, I could have used you when my kids were growing up.”So really there are kids who are—I'm sure they're wonderful—but they're not as more or complex as some other kids.Corey: Kids that you almost don't have to be as intentional about your parenting with.Sarah: Yeah. You don't have to read parenting books or listen to parenting podcasts. I would hazard a guess that most people who listen to this podcast have complex kids.Corey: Yes. They're our people. We always say the people who are our people are the ones who don't have to talk about challenges around putting on shoes.Sarah: I love that.Corey: That seems to be the number one thing we're always talking about.Sarah: We always use that as an example, whether it's sensory or strong-willed or attentional. It is kind of like one of those canary-in-the-coal-mine things. Will your child go and put their shoes on when you ask them to? If the answer is no, you probably have a complex kid.Corey: Yes, I love that it is the canary in the coal mine. So that's what our complex kids are. And for the parents of these kids, I think of these parents as being absolute rock stars. They are just trying so hard to peacefully parent their kids. And, like we said, they're reading all the books, they're listening to this podcast, they've probably signed up for all sorts of online seminars and courses and just do all of the things.Often these parents were not peacefully parented themselves. Most people weren't. So they're learning a whole new parenting style. And a lot of people today are getting all their information off Instagram and TikTok reels that aren't very nuanced, so they're also not getting really full information. They're trying so hard off of all these little sound snippets.Sarah: Or the peaceful parenting or gentle parenting advice that they're being given, and what's supposed to happen just doesn't look like that for their kid. And that reminds me—the other podcast that we did about when peaceful parenting doesn't “work,” we could link to that one too.Corey: Yes. Parents of complex kids are also trying to problem solve so many challenges because the world is often not designed for their kids, and it's often not designed for them.Sarah: Say more about that—about “not designed for their kids.” What's an example of how that might show up?Corey: So an example is conventional schooling. They're expected to go into this noisy environment and just be able to eat the food they've been sent and listen all day and stay in their seats and learn the same way that everyone else is learning. I didn't really realize how complex my kid was until I tried to send him to daycare.Sarah: I was just thinking about the spirit days at Big C's school, and how you've shared with me that those spirit days—like pajama day or “everyone wear the school colors day”—for some typical kids can be exciting and fun and a diversion. And for complex kids that can cause a whole level of stress and anticipation and the change of routine. Other parents of non-complex kids might be like, “Whatever, it's not a big deal.” For our complex kids, it throws them for a loop.Corey: Yes. My first moment of starting to realize there was something I needed to pay more attention to was they were having a movie day at Big C's daycare, and they said he kept covering his ears and hiding. And that was my first idea that every other kid was so excited that it was movie day. They'd been looking forward to it. And for my child it was just so loud, and then suddenly the lights were turned off, and the whole situation was throwing him off.So that's what I mean. We're designing the world for kids who are excited about movie day or special event days. But for complex kids, this is a complete change in their routine and all sorts of different sensory things that are happening that can make it really hard for them.Sarah: Or that they can't handle as much as other kids. I have a client who was just talking about how she's realized for her son, who's nine, that they literally can't do anything after school. They can't stop at the store and run in and grab a few things. They really just have to come straight home and not do anything extra or different. And he does so much better when he can just come home and unwind and needs that.Corey: Yes, exactly. So the world wasn't designed for them. And then consequently, the world was often not designed for those parents either. So many of the people we work with—including ourselves—only start to realize how complex we are once we start identifying it in our children. So it's just not really an accommodated world.Sarah: So talk about how that has led to burnout for you. And by the way, when you started talking about rock stars—in the membership the other day, in office hours, one of our members, I'll call him D, who works incredibly hard and has two very complex kids, was just sharing how dark and hard life had been feeling for him lately. And I said, honestly, I just want to give you a medal. And I grabbed this off my desk and held it up—this silver milagro from Mexico that's a bleeding heart. It was the closest thing I had to a medal.But I really feel like so many parents who have hard or more complex kids, all they feel is that they're doing a bad job. They don't realize that they're up against something other people are not up against. They don't realize that because that's all they know—unless you have one kid that's not complex and one that is—you just don't know that you're working so hard and things are still hard. It feels like you must be doing something wrong or failing. What they don't realize is that you can do everything “right” in peaceful parenting, and things are still really hard if you've got a complex kid.Corey: Yes. And the last thing I want to say to help paint this picture is that these parents—part of what they're dealing with, and I actually think this is huge—all parents today have a huge amount of family admin: managing appointments and things from the school and all those kinds of things. But that's this other crushing weight we're carrying as parents with complex kids: the admin.Sarah: Right.Corey: The amount of communication we have to do with daycare providers and teachers almost every day at points—Sarah: And also the searching. I've watched you go through this, and I watched my sister go through this, and countless clients. The searching to try to figure out what exactly is going on with my kid so that I can best support them. And even with the privilege you have and my sister has in terms of being able to access specialists and testing and all of that—even with that privilege—it's still almost a full-time job. And then getting the OT or the supports too.Corey: Yes. I started for this podcast listing some of the people I've had to coordinate with over the years, and I was like: different types of medical doctors, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, social workers, dieticians… so many. And just so much coordinating and searching. And the other thing that's hard is you also then have homework from each of these people. So not only do you have to make appointments and get your children to appointments, you then have to fill out all this paperwork to get reimbursed or get payment sorted. Then there's all the paperwork they want you to sign for ongoing parts of that. Then they have homework for the kids that they're supposed to be doing all the time to help them with whatever's going on. It's endless.Sarah: Yeah. And then there's the day-to-day. Tell us—paint a little picture of the day-to-day living. Not only do we have the world that isn't built for them or for you, and then all of the extra stuff that goes along with having a complex kid, but then the day-to-day life. Speak to that a little bit.Corey: Yeah. I think that's the thing you just see is so painful to talk about for all the people in our membership and our clients, and I've experienced it firsthand. You had children to add love to your family. And then you love them so much and you're struggling because there's chronic dysregulation, and they're having such a hard time getting through your daily routines, and they need more supervision than the average child does. Just getting through the day can be really challenging when you have a complex kid. And then if you yourself are complex, your nervous system is getting completely overwhelmed by trying to be the calm for everyone's storms.Sarah: It's a lot, Corey. I understand why you get emotional about it. It's a lot. And you're still in the thick of it with two young kids. I think everyone who's listening to this can relate.Okay. So how and when did you decide that you were going to quit special time, and what does that look like? And—I just want to center us here—the reason why we do special time is for connection, right? Complex kids need connection just as much or more than typical kids. And so just because we're saying you might want to quit special time, it does not mean we're saying you want to quit connection. So what does that look like? What have you found? Because I know you're super connected with your kids. I've seen you together. I know the things they say to you and about you, and that you have an awesome connection. So what do you do for connection when special time does not work?Corey: A big thing that I've been telling clients and that I've done in my life is—first of all, I had to acknowledge to myself, it felt like shame. Because here I am—it's one of the first things we tell everyone we work with: “Are you getting one-on-one time doing special time with your child?” And then I'm sitting there being like, but I don't really do this. I get a ton of one-on-one time with my children. And I think that's at the heart of it. But what I realized is because we're carrying all those weights we talked about, your whole life feels like it's all about this kid. And then to be like, “You know what? Let's make it more about you and give you another 15 minutes,” just feels—I almost felt like I don't have this in me.So I realized: let's pick things that we can do together that are interesting for both them and me. Instead of getting locked in their play and being led by them, I'm finding things that we're co-creating together.Sarah: And can I just note too that you've told me—and I know you said you talked about this in another podcast—but I just want to say it again: a lot of times complex kids' play doesn't look like typical kids' play. So you might be like, “What do you want to play?” and they're like, “I don't know.” They don't have the same kind of “Okay, let's play store and you be this and I'll be this.” Or they play with their toys in a different manner. So it can also be just awkward to insist that you play with them when that's not their style anyway. I just wanted to throw that out there.Corey: Yeah. And, or if I did, they're always telling me I'm doing everything wrong.Sarah: Right. Because I do think that play—I do think that for most kids, even though we're saying don't do special time—I do think that for most kids it is important to put yourself in their world. And I don't want people to think, like, “Okay, this means I never have to try to do special time.” We're just saying if it's not working for you for these various reasons—whether it's because of your own constraints like it was for Joanna, or because it doesn't work for your kid—it doesn't mean that you're doing it wrong and that there's no way to connect and that you should just give up.But I do think that—just a side note—I'd say the majority of kids, play in their world is the key to a lot of connection. But for some complex kids, that just isn't their mode. For some of them.Corey: Yeah. Because I think we were coming out of special time feeling angry.Sarah: Right?Corey: Because we were coming out of it like, “I'm trying to get lost in my child's world,” and he's just like, “You're not doing anything right, Mommy.” It was frustrating for him because he had these ideas and he couldn't really get me to do it right. And I think for some kids that can be really empowering, where they like that feeling of being in control and telling them. But for him it was frustrating because he's like, “I had this vision, and you are just not executing.” I'm like, “I don't know, I'm trying to execute your vision.” So I think that's why for us, I could just tell it wasn't just me—neither of us were finding it was working.Sarah: But—Corey: We were desperately wanting to be together.Sarah: Okay. So you said “finding,” right? I interrupted you when you were talking about finding things that were co-interests—things that work for both of you, co-creating.Corey: Yes. When they were younger, one of the big things I did was buy myself really special pencil crayons and nice watercolor paints because both of them loved doing art. So I could sit and do art with them and use my fancy coloring books and feel very “we are together doing something” that was making me feel really good, but they also felt really happy, and they loved showing me what they were making.Sarah: And did you let them use your stuff? Because I think that would be really hard for me, because you can't really be like, “These are my special things, and you use these Crayola ones.” How did you navigate that?Corey: Okay, so that was really hard. This never would work for my husband, so I'm going to acknowledge for some people this wouldn't work. I let them grab my crayons, and they dropped them a lot. I acknowledged that they were not going to last. But I still wanted good ones available to me. So I had to be flexible. They definitely grabbed them, and the watercolors were wrecked really quickly. But they respected not touching my special brushes for some reason. So I kept my own special brushes for the painting.Sarah: You know, that reminds me—one of our members has a just-newly-3-year-old who's super complex, and she was talking about how she was doing a jigsaw puzzle, like a proper adult thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle. And she was really worried that—since it was on the table in a room where the parents could be—her kid was just going to come in and wreck it. Instead, her child is really good at jigsaw puzzles and is doing them with her. So I think sometimes—she's totally shocked and thrilled that this has become something—and this is clearly a case of coming into the adult world of a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle. You just reminded me—she put a post in our Facebook group about how… I don't know, did you see that post?Corey: Yeah, I did.Sarah: About how wonderful it's been to have her just-turned-3-year-old do these adult jigsaw puzzles with her. So that's a perfect example of what you're talking about, I think.Corey: I think it's—so I love what you're saying here, because we're always told “go into their world,” but there's something really powerful about letting them into yours. I didn't actually realize that's what I was doing—I've been bringing them into my world with me, and then they feel really special being allowed in there with me. And so it creates this really beautiful thing, but I'm flexible about letting them in there, knowing it's going to look different.Sarah: Right. What are some other things that you've done besides art that might be inspiring?Corey: I realized a long time ago I had to let go of the idea that I needed to read really interesting books to my kids so that every night we could look forward to reading beautiful stories that drew me in. We actually realized bedtime has started getting hard again, and we realized it's because we're in between books. So that is something—and a shout-out to my mom; she's really good at researching books—she's come up with some really cool books that have really diverse characters and really interesting stories. That's been another really important thing: don't just read. I've picked really good books that draw me in.And so last night we actually just started a favorite series of mine. I kid you not, I'm reading to my 10-year-old a feminist fantasy book that I read when I was a tween. It's called Dealing with Dragons, and he actually is loving it.Sarah: Nice. So you're saying—maybe you misspoke—you said you had to give up on reading books that you… beautiful books that you liked. But did you mean that you were finding beautiful books that you liked?Corey: Yeah, sorry, that's—earlier on I felt like I was just reading, you know, books that I thought they would like.Sarah: Oh, okay.Corey: But instead I was like, “The heck with that,” and I found books that I loved, and I started reading those to my kids. And then they loved them. And then that really got us so excited about bedtime.Sarah: Great, great.Corey: We got through it, and we would read that together, and it became—I actually think reading books that I love to my kids has become one of the most important special times that we have each day.Sarah: So another co-creating—something that's interesting to both of you. And it's not necessarily going into their world and reading the Captain Underpants or something that they might like that you find mind-numbingly boring. And maybe Captain Underpants isn't boring—I've never read it—but I'm just using that as an example.Corey: That's a perfect example. So it's like, here, I'm providing those books for them to read to themselves for their reading time. Absolutely—read all the Captain Underpants, the Dog Man you would like. But my goodness, when I'm reading to you, I'm picking something. And look, we've abandoned lots of books that we started reading that they couldn't get into. We keep—we just keep trying.Sarah: Okay. What else—what else is next?Corey: Exercise.Sarah: Okay.Corey: I've realized exercise for me is the number one way for me to deal with stress. Of all things, I need to exercise to help manage stress. And it's very hard to fit in exercise when you have complex kids. So from the time they were little, we've been very flexible about how we've done it. But my husband and I have—once again, instead of picking things they're naturally into (this is starting to sound really funny)—we just brought them into our exercise with us, and they love it. From the time they were little, we had a balance bike for my littlest guy. He was on that balance bike, and we were riding bikes together.So my littlest one ended up being able to ride a regular bike before he was three.Sarah: Same with Maxine. Those balance bikes are amazing. She just—yeah. It's crazy.Corey: Yeah. And sometimes—Sarah: Sometimes you're like, “What have I done?” The 3-year-old is riding off.Corey: It's true. It was unbelievable, though. So we just rode our bikes together. From the time ours were very little, we had them as little guys on—you can get an attachment to your bike—and my husband put them on his road bike with him and would take them for rides on his road bike.Sarah: There's also the trailer bike too, which we had, which is good.Corey: So we did that. We had our youngest on skis when he was two. COVID kind of interrupted some of that, but now we ski every weekend with our kids, and we decided to do that instead of putting them into organized sports so that we would all be doing it together.Sarah: Oh, I love that. Instead of dropping them off and they're playing soccer, you're all doing stuff together.Corey: Yes.Sarah: I mean, and you could—and, you know, for other families—you could just go and kick the ball. Or I always say, chase your kids around the playground if you feel like you don't have time to exercise but you need to. It can be that simple, right? Kicking the ball around, chasing them around the playground—get some exercise and have some connection time too.Corey: Yeah. One of the ways we got our one son kind of good at running is taking the kite to the park, and we just ran around with the kite. But we started even going to—and I advised another family to do this—going to a track together, because it's a contained area where everyone could run at different speeds. And the really little ones were playing on the inside of the track with soccer balls and things like that, and then everyone else could be running around the track.Sarah: Love it.Corey: So getting really creative about literally bringing them into our world of things that we love, and then connecting deeply. And it's one of those things where it's an investment you make over time. It starts small, and you have to be really flexible. And there are these little hands grabbing all your fancy pencil crayons, and you're having to deal with it. And then one day you're sitting beside them, and they're using them themselves—drawing works of art.Sarah: Yeah, yeah.Corey: And it's happening now where my older son and I have been going for runs together around the neighborhood, and we have the best talks ever because I'm sideways listening. We should talk about sideways listening, actually.Sarah: Okay.Corey: So I learned about this from you. You have a great article—I recommend it to everyone—it's called “Staying Close to Your Tweens and Teens,” and that's where you talk about how it's actually easier for people, I think, to have important conversations when you're side to side, because it's not that intensity of looking at each other's faces. This is extra true for neurodivergent people who sometimes have a hard time with eye contact and talking in that way. So we go for these runs together all around our neighborhood, and I hear everything from my son during that time because we're side by side. So it's become special time, where it started when I taught him to come into my world with the track running and all the different things, and now that we're running, he's bringing me into his world.Sarah: Love it. Do you find that a lot of complex kids have special interests—do you find that there's a way that you can connect with them over their special interest? Does that feel connecting to you if it's not something—like, I'm literally just curious about that.Corey: I think that can be tricky, but I do think it's very important. I've learned that I was having a hard time with how much my kids loved video games because I've never liked video games. And, you know, as someone with ADHD, it's so hard to focus on things that I don't find interesting. And I realized that I've spent all this time cultivating bringing them into my world, and we've gotten to such a beautiful, connected space that I do need to go into theirs. And now that they're older, I'm finding it is easier to go into their world, because we're not trying to make some sort of play thing happen that wasn't natural.Sarah: Right.Corey: So I have been making a point now of—I've sat down and been like, “Show me how to play. I'm a beginner. Teach me how to do this.” And I've been playing video games with them. I'm so bad.Sarah: You know, in our podcast with Scott Novus about how to stop fighting with your kids about video games, he says how good it is for kids to see you be bad at something.Corey: They're seeing it.Sarah: I love that.Corey: I'm so bad. I cannot even a little bit. So they find it very funny. I've been playing with them and letting them talk to me about it, and I've found that's been really important too. Because I keep on saying, “Do you see why they love this so much?” And I'm kind of like, yes—and I see what skills you're learning now that I've tried it. It takes so much skill and practice to be good at these complex video games on the Switch and on the PlayStation. So I am learning a lot, and I feel like we are shifting now, where I found a way to connect with them by bringing them along with what I was into, and now that they're older, we are switching where I'm able to go back into their world.Sarah: Right. Love it. So we also—you know, I think delighting is something that probably you still do, and we always talk about that as the low-hanging fruit. If you can't do special time or it doesn't work for you, delighting in your child throughout the day—letting the love that you feel in your heart show on your face, right? And then finally, you talked about using routine—the things that you do throughout the day—as connection. Can you talk about that a little bit before we go?Corey: Yes. So this is where long-time listeners of our podcast know that although special time is a big fail for us, I'm really good at being silly with my kids. Really good at being silly. And I'm very inspired listening to Mia from Playful Heart—Playful Heart Parenting. I think I told you, listening to her talk, it was like the first time I heard someone talking about exactly how I do playful parenting. And it's just injecting play and silliness and drama throughout your everyday things you're doing together. And so we do that all the time to get through the schedule. Especially now, my 10-year-old is starting to act a little too cool for some of this, but it's still really happening with my 7-year-old, where we're always singing weird songs about what we're doing, and I'll take on weird accents and be my characters. I'm not going to demonstrate them here—it's far too embarrassing—but I still have my long-running characters I can't get over.Sarah: You've got, like, the dental hygienist—what's her name?Corey: Karen. Karen the dental hygienist.Sarah: What's the bus driver's name?Corey: I have Brett the bus driver. We have “Deep Breath,” who's like a yogi who comes in when everyone needs to take deep breaths. There's—oh, her name's So? I'm not sure why. So is the dresser who's really serious and doesn't know how to smile. So if my kids ever need help—this has also been a big way that I delight in them, I think—if they ever need help getting dressed (which complex kids need help getting dressed for a long—)Sarah: And even body doubling when they don't need help getting dressed, right?Corey: Yes. So I would always pretend to be a dresser who was sent in to get them dressed in their clothes, and they didn't know how to smile. So they're always trying to teach me how to smile when I'm keeping a serious face. And actually, recently I was doing this and I was having such a hard time not laughing that my lips started visibly quivering trying not to smile and laugh.Sarah: I love that.Corey: I think it was the hardest I've ever seen my 7-year-old laugh. He was on the floor laughing because I was like—Sarah: And for anyone who this sounds hard for—just, you know, it takes practice, and anyone, I think, can learn to be playful. And I love Mia's account—we'll link to that in the show notes. I love Mia's account for ideas just to get you started, because I know you—you're a drama kid. I'm not. But I still found ways to get playful even though it's not my natural instinct. And so you can—this way of getting playful and connecting through the day and through your daily routine—you can do that. It'll take maybe a little practice; you might feel funny at first. But I think it's possible for everyone to do that.So thank you so much. We have to wrap up, but I also want to point out that anyone who wants to connect with you, reach out to us. Corey's available for coaching. She's a wonderful coach. And I have people who specifically ask for Corey because they can relate to Corey's experience as a parent of complex kids. And so, on our website, reimaginepeacefulparenting.com, there is a booking link for a free short consult or for a coaching session. We'll also put that in the show notes. So if you want some more support, please reach out to us. Either of us are here and want to help you.And, Corey, thank you for your honesty and vulnerability—vulnerability about being a parent of a complex kid and sharing how you can do that connection, even if it feels like special time is just too hard and something that doesn't work for you or for your kid. And thanks to Joanna for also inspiring us to get this out there to you all.Corey, before I let you go, I'm going to ask the question I ask all my guests, which is: what would you tell your—you had a time machine and you could go back in time—what would you tell your younger parent self?Corey: Okay.Sarah: About parenting? What do you wish you knew?Corey: I think what I wish I knew—I think this is easier than I thought it would be, because I just told my best friend who just had a baby this—and it's: trust your intuition. I think I spent so much time looking for answers outside of myself, and I could feel they weren't right for my kid or for me, that I was so confused because other people were telling me, “This is what you should be doing.” And the more I've learned to trust my gut instinct and just connect deeply—and this special time example is perfect—I knew it wasn't working for us, and I intuitively knew other ways to do it. And I wish I could have just trusted that earlier.Sarah: And stopped doing it sooner and just gone with the other connection ideas. Yeah. Thank you so much, Corey. This has been so great. And, again, we'll put the link to anyone who wants to book a free short consult or coaching session, and also to our membership, which you've heard us mention a few times, which is just a wonderful space on the internet for people who want some community and support with their complex kid.Thanks, Corey.Corey: Thank you.>> Please support us!!!

    Everyone's talking about AI like it's plug-and-play. Spoiler: it's not. In this episode, Rob digs into why Big Tech's billions in AI R&D haven't yet turned into matching revenue — and what that means for the rest of us. The truth? The real business wins don't come from off-the-shelf models; they come from smart customization. Rob breaks down the "magic Lego brick" approach that separates hype from practical reality, showing how everyday tools like Power BI and Power Automate can connect to AI in surprisingly simple (and powerful) ways. He also revisits Bill Krolicki's "Vendor Bot" example to prove that you don't need to be a researcher or a billionaire to make AI deliver real results. If you've ever opened ChatGPT, asked it to "optimize operations," and gotten nowhere — this one's for you.

    Government data doesn't just live in vaults anymore, and the latest suspected foreign cyberattack at the Congressional Budget Office proves how fragile our policy pipeline can be. We unpack why breaches keep landing on core agencies, what “zero trust” actually changes, and how identity, patch cadence, and monitoring fit together when the stakes are Congressional forecasts and budget models.Then we pivot hard into the human side of tech: a Detroit police officer's pantsless Zoom court moment. It's funny until you realize how remote optics shape trust in high-stakes settings. We share practical rules for video etiquette, attention, and boundaries that actually stick. From there, we wade into the strangest product of the week: IKEA's $200 “phone bed” that gamifies bedtime with vouchers. Silly? Maybe. But the ritual taps real sleep science, and we explain cheaper ways to build the same habit without feeding your charger a duvet.We also bring a hands-on pick from Gadgets & Gear: Raycon's Essential Open Ear earbuds. Open-ear audio makes more sense for city walking and office life than full isolation, and the battery life plus sub-$60 sale price make them an easy upgrade. Between sips of Remus Repeal Reserve Series 5—a blend that rewards a little air time—we revisit Microsoft's early tablet misfire and how Surface ultimately learned the right lessons. And yes, we end with a grin at LEGO's lavish Star Trek Enterprise set, because sometimes tech joy is the point.If you enjoyed the mix of sharp takes, practical gear, and a little levity, follow and subscribe.

Join Jeremy, Stephen, & Chase as we discuss "Warhammer Survivors" being announced, LEGO showing off the new Enterprise D Star Trek set, Digital Eclipse adding Namco games to "Atari 50" via DLC, "Grand Theft Auto VI" gets another delay, Xbox (kinda) talks about their next hardware being a PC/Console hybrid, & more! Our "Big Question" for this week is "With a recent review coming to light for the new Hyrule Warriors that admits right away the reviewer doesn't feel that the genre should even exist, do you feel that this view is worth having as a site's official review rather than as an editorial, & do you feel this should have a weighted review score attached that affects the games overall review?"

Emin: [0:27] Ben de iyiyim. Nasıl gidiyor? Nasıl geçti bir haftan? Ömer: [0:30] İyi. Koşuşturmacalı, fena değil, yoğun. Bir sıkıntı yok. Senin nasıl? Bir yaramazlık yok diyelim. Emin: [0:36] Çok şükür. İnanılmaz derecede sisli bir gündü bugün. Hiç fark ettin mi? Ömer: [0:40] Sabah öyleymiş. Ben evdeydim bu sabah. Fark edemedim. Sonra da herhâlde kalktı o sis. Emin: [0:46] Ya anormal bir sis vardı ya. Hani önümde araba var ama sadece tahmin ediyorum yani önümde araba olduğunu. Öyle bir sis vardı. Ömer: [0:54] Allah Allah çok ilginç. Geçtiğimiz günlerde de ben öyle bir izlenim edinmiştim. Sanki biraz böyle "Hava kirli mi ulan?" falan filan diye gelmişti bana. Ama meğer bir sis söz konusuymuş. Emin: [1:04] Ama bugünkü bayağı fenaydı yani. Ve genelde güneş açtığında gider ama bugün o kadar da şey olmadı. Gitmedi yani. Ömer: [1:12] Hava da güzel. Bu da şeyi gösteriyor herhâlde...

    Core Competencies and AI: Building Stronger Organizations Through Purpose and Connection with Nate Amidon

    Episode Summary In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, we dive into a powerful conversation with Nate, CEO of Form 100 Consulting, an agile technology firm that hires military veterans. Together, we explore what it really means to focus on core competencies in a world obsessed with chasing trends—especially when it comes to artificial intelligence. Focusing on What Matters Nate emphasizes the danger of business “fluff”—initiatives that look exciting but distract from the organization's core mission. We discuss how easily companies get pulled off track by AI hype and lose sight of what actually drives value. Both of us agree that clarity of mission and disciplined execution are what truly sustain success. AI Implementation: Systems Before Software We unpack why so many organizations fail at AI implementation. The core issue? Automating broken systems. Before adding automation, leaders must first understand workflows, engage the people doing the work, and align process improvements with clear outcomes. The discussion also explores lean methodology and how technology should enhance human capability—not replace it. Automation and Efficiency Our conversation turns to how automation affects staffing and productivity. I share insights from past downturns where organizations reduced teams but maintained output through smarter workflows. We agree that while automation can remove jobs, it can also elevate roles and help businesses grow—if it's done with purpose. We also highlight the risk of knowledge loss as experienced workers retire, reminding leaders that efficiency must never come at the cost of wisdom. Adaptability and Incremental Progress We examine why even major corporations, including Fortune 500 giants, struggle to survive. Nate and I discuss the importance of adaptability, addressing constraints, and embracing incremental progress—especially when integrating AI. True transformation happens step by step, not through one big innovation. Data-Driven Growth Without the Paralysis I share an example of a client stuck in “analysis paralysis” due to too much data. The takeaway: data should serve decision-making, not dominate it. We explore how to build centralized systems that streamline insights and connect back to strategy. I also reference General Motors' missteps in the 1980s as a lesson on the risks of ignoring core strengths in the pursuit of diversification. Balancing Planning and Action We discuss the challenge of overplanning versus underplanning. Nate explains that effective leadership requires making informed decisions without having every answer. This means building psychological safety within teams, encouraging learning through mistakes, and avoiding “level one thinking”—where leaders react rather than anticipate. Consulting Insights and Shared Experiences Nate shares insights about his work at form100consulting.com, helping organizations improve execution and agility. I reflect on my own consulting journey with small businesses and nonprofits, from psychotherapy practices to after-school LEGO robotics programs, and the lessons I carried from my time in the Air Force into business leadership. Human Connection in the Age of Automation We close with a conversation about marketing and human connection. Both of us agree that while digital platforms like LinkedIn have become saturated with automation, audiences are craving authenticity. The future of business belongs to those who bring back the personal touch—conversations, community, and genuine connection.

    Stop Calling it Strategy w/ Simon Severino

    Stop calling it strategy. Most leaders are not doing strategy; they are managing a glorified to-do list. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Simon Severino, author of Strategy Sprints, TEDx speaker, Forbes contributor, and CEO of Strategy Sprints, to talk about how to lead with clarity, focus, and speed. Simon helps leaders design an operating rhythm that turns lofty visions into measurable weekly wins, all without adding more meetings or complexity. Simon has spent over two decades helping leaders enter markets, scale effectively, and remain competitive in uncertain times. His Strategy Sprints method replaces long planning cycles with focused 90-day sprints that keep teams learning, adapting, and moving fast. It is a system designed for real-life scenarios, where uncertainty is constant and leaders cannot afford to wait for perfect information. Simon reminds us that strategy is not about being right; it is about learning fast. His Focus Card is a simple but powerful tool: one page for your strategy, one tab for weekly metrics. Every Monday, teams set their priorities. Every Friday, they review what is working and what is not. It is a rhythm that keeps everyone focused and aligned, turning strategy from theory into practice. Simon also challenges leaders to build like Lego, not Duplo, modular, flexible, and fast to reconfigure. When markets shift, teams that move in small, adaptable units thrive. That mindset is not just tactical, it is cultural. It encourages curiosity, experimentation, and speed. The beauty of Simon's method is its simplicity. It does not add complexity; it removes it. The Strategy Sprint approach helps leaders focus on what matters, cut through noise, and lead teams that win through clarity and cadence. My Takeaways 1. Plans list tasks. Strategy makes bets. Great leaders take responsibility for the assumptions they make. 2. Measure both cause and effect. Track the activities and the results they create. 3. Shorten your feedback loop. A Monday and Friday rhythm beats quarterly reviews every time. 4. Build modular. Smaller, faster systems are easier to adapt when the market shifts. 5. Seek truth, not validation. Try to invalidate your assumptions weekly. If they hold up, you are truly winning. When I asked Simon what he wished leaders understood about strategy, he said: “Do not try to prove you are right. Try to prove yourself wrong. If your assumptions survive, then you are winning.” And if you want to bring more focus and agility to your team, try Simon's Focus Card exercise. You might be surprised at how much clarity one page can bring.

    Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning.   Every year, millions of attraction visitors lose hours in line instead of making memories. Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Phil Royle is the Vice President of LEGOLAND Development and Operations at Merlin Entertainments. With nearly 25 years at Merlin, he's grown from a 17-year-old ride operator at Chessington World of Adventures to opening Madame Tussauds Hollywood, leading guest experience at LEGOLAND Florida, and spearheading the development and launches of new LEGOLAND parks in New York, South Korea, and Shanghai. His career spans operations, development, community engagement, and global brand stewardship across 11 parks, multiple water parks, and themed hotels. In this interview, Phil Royle talks about being brick-centric, fantastical escapism, and teaching everything you can. Brick-centric “We have to make sure that everything we do centers around the brick. The brick is absolutely a core part of everything we do.” Phil explains that the LEGO brick is not just theming—it's the operating system for the entire resort experience. Because LEGOLAND serves families with children ages two to twelve, attractions are intentionally designed as “pink-knuckle” firsts: first coaster rides, first driving school licenses, and first hands-on build zones. Accessibility and inclusion are embedded, from wheelchair access to widespread Certified Autism Center credentials across parks, aligning day-to-day operations with the brand's “only the best is good enough” ethos. He describes a tight collaboration with the LEGO toy company, aligning new lands and attractions to upcoming toy lines so the parks bring IP like Monkey Kid to life in rides, hotels, and interactive spaces. Even hotel rooms extend the brick-first philosophy: families wake up inside immersive, character-rich environments and can step straight into building play, ensuring the brick is literally the first and last touchpoint of the day. Fantastical escapism “We want that fantastical escape to just say, ‘wow, I woke up at LEGOLAND.'” Phil explains that escapism is a design and operational mandate for both kids and parents. While queues and coasters provide the familiar structure of a theme park day, discovery and agency come from integrated build-and-play moments, such play areas inside queues, free-build buckets, guided vehicle-building challenges, and earthquake tables that turn trial-and-error into laughter and learning. Guests think they're just racing cars or stacking towers; in reality, they're encountering physics, structural engineering, and cause-and-effect through tangible, joyful play. He emphasizes that parents are part of the magic. Attractions and play spaces are planned so adults can ride, build, and celebrate alongside their kids, or comfortably supervise from thoughtfully designed lounges with clear sightlines (single-entry/exit play areas). Dining, shows, seasonal characters, and event overlays (from Brick or Treat through the holidays) complete a rhythm that lets families “forget the big wide world” for a day and live inside a story built from bricks and imagination. Teaching everything you can “You can only move on if you teach your team absolutely everything you can so that they can be successful on their own.” Phil frames leadership mobility and park scalability as outcomes of radical knowledge transfer. Opening multiple parks across continents required documenting processes, building successor capability, and ensuring local teams could operate confidently after handover. When knowledge is hoarded, questions bottleneck at the last team; when it's centralized and shared, the next parks in the pipeline (Shanghai, Shenzhen, and beyond) can accelerate with fewer blockers. He also extends teaching beyond internal teams to partners, media, and communities, using proactive education to align global safety standards with local norms (as in South Korea), and cultivating networks where safety transcends competition. For Phil, mentoring, documentation, and cross-park/intake relationships are the real engines that let leaders “move on to the next project” without leaving gaps behind.   To connect with Phil directly, he recommends reaching out on LinkedIn. To learn more about the company and what's new at the parks, visit the LEGOLAND website (including information on seasonal events and upcoming coasters and lands in California and Florida).   This podcast wouldn't be possible without the incredible work of our faaaaaantastic team:   Scheduling and correspondence by Kristen Karaliunas   To connect with AttractionPros: AttractionPros.com AttractionPros@gmail.com AttractionPros on Facebook AttractionPros on LinkedIn AttractionPros on Instagram AttractionPros on Twitter (X)
