On this Alfacast we take you deeper into the orchestrated "land grab" by those who conquer populations through displacement.  This centuries-old method of conquest by either overt force or stealth has not spared any racial group or geographical coordinate. For the predator class, it's nothing personal, just business. In the modern era of U.S. INC, land was deceptively stolen via the issuing of 'warranty deeds' to transfer alloidial title as recognized through original land grants and patents to absolute State control.  If any doubt lingers about this blatant theft just stop paying your property tax, and see what happens. The corporatized State has now integrated acts of mass violence to outrun the 'great awakening' that is quickly narrowing the window of opportunity for full spectrum dominance.  The purposeful degradation of financial systems, arson, weather modification and biological false flags are the favored weaponry, while lending a measure of plausible deniability.  Look at Santa Rosa, Paradise, North Carolina and Maui for just a sampling of the more obvious "natural disasters". Maui resident and freedom activist , Michelle Melendez, joins us to continue the 'land grab' discussion thread initiated in a prior Alfacast interview featuring Tracy Derwin & Shane Buell. Michelle started her freedom activist journey April 2020 when the narrative on mainstream media was not sharing the truth when it came to 'invisible terrorists'. During the "pandemic" debacle she hosted a health summit, refused donning facial diapers, sent petitions to police stations and lodged formal complains against the Hawaii police chief who subsequently retired 3 months later! Michelle was one of the first to speak out against the mainstream media in the aftermath of the Lahaina fire, while interviewing experts sharing the truth that this was NOT a “wildfire”, but something much more nefarious! Michelle wrote the book, “Great Maui Land Grab: What caused the Maui fire and is your home next?” It is up for many book awards and may even get book of the year!  Michelle is a firm believer that this is a spiritual game/war that is being played at human expense and it's up to each living soul to make a choice! Will you ignore the evil in the world and comply, or will you stand up for God and good and do your part, no matter how small?  One thing for certain, Michele is our kind of Gal, so please help us share her knowledge far & wide.

Lifestyle Photography with Alanna O'Neill, Embracing Mother Maui, How To Become Your Own Creative Lighthouse, and the Power of Intuition.Alanna O'Neil is a lifestyle photographer, designer, and author who left the runways of New York fashion for the slower, more intentional rhythm of Maui. Her work — including her books The Art of Picnics and The Outdoor Table — is rooted in visual storytelling, seasonal living, and a soulful connection to nature. But her journey wasn't linear. From Vermont to Manhattan to Maui, she's navigated imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the constant pull of outside expectations in order to find her own creative voice.In this conversation we explore what it means to become your own creative lighthouse: learning to trust intuition, resisting comparison, and creating from a place of authenticity rather than approval. We talk about sensitivity as a superpower, why betraying yourself is always worse than betraying your audience, and the lessons Maui has taught her about resilience, growth, and building a life aligned with your values.Notable Links:Alanna O'Neil WebsiteAlanna O'Neil InstagramAlanna's 2026 Paris Marathon Fundraiser for WWF*****If you're looking for that next-level boost to your creativity and photography skills, you've got to check out my Beyond The Lens Newsletter on Substack. It's like having a backstage pass to everything I explore with my guests here on the podcast - delivered straight to your email inbox.Think practical photography tips, mind-expanding ideas for personal vision, and real-world tactics to level up your craft.

It sure seems like everyone is just counting down the days until the Ryder Cup at this point. With minimal golf news and no PGA Tour event to discuss, Andy instead starts this episode with a tale from his latest round of golf. Playing at one of America's great championship courses, Andy decided he wanted to recreate an iconic moment and ended up almost hitting some folks enjoying a Tuesday afternoon lunch on the patio. It's been a big week for paying homage to iconic figures, as Brendan shares the latest Bob Uecker tribute from the Milwaukee Brewers. Brendan is aghast at the team reading and posting a fake letter from the deceased Uecker, which leads into a discussion about which ghosts this year's Ryder Cup teams should (allegedly) hear from. The Europeans have made it to Long Island and dressed in some... interesting... clothing for their first practice rounds at Bethpage Black. Justin Rose thinks that New Yorkers will become "caricatures" of themselves in the crowd and thinks that the VR preparation is a sign that things have gone too far. In actual golf being played this week, the ultimate Game Within a Game is underway on the LPGA circuit: can the unique winner streak continue at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship? With 18 of this year's winners in the field, the odds are in favor of this incredible streak living on. Andy is fired up about the Stephens Cup and the U.S. Mid-Am, both of which are already underway as of this recording. The Celebrity Ryder Cup rosters have been released with big names such as Toni Kukoč, Pau Gasol, and Brooklyn Beckham facing off against Eli Manning, Colin Jost, and "Sticks Boy " Noah Kahan. In substantive golf news, Amazon Prime has acquired some Masters streaming rights for Thursday and Friday and - as first reported on this podcast - the PGA Tour will not open the season in Kapalua due to the water issues in Maui.

Today, Eric is excited to welcome Megan Nolan, the founder of Vitality Wellness in Maui.  With extensive experience in yoga, mental health, and wellbeing, Megan brings powerful tools to support small business owners and professionals within the meetings and events industry. About Megan Nolan Megan Nolan is a yoga teacher and personal trainer based in Maui. She combines movement, mindfulness, and strength training to help people improve their posture, energy, and mental focus. Beyond individual sessions, she specializes in bringing wellness into the conference and events industry by leading yoga, breathwork, and “power pauses” that energize participants and boost engagement. Her mission is to make healthy habits accessible, fun, and sustainable, whether for individuals, teams, or large audiences. Generational Awareness of Health Younger generations are highly aware of their mental and physical health. They openly communicate about emotions, seek out wellness tools, and tune into their bodies. Older generations, by contrast, often adapt more slowly. Technology and Posture Today's youth are growing up with devices in their hands, and it shows in their posture. Postures previously associated with aging are now common, even in children, driven by extended hours of sitting and screen use. Preventing and Correcting Rounded Posture Megan highlights that a rounded posture is preventable and, to some extent, correctable at any age. Even into the 90s, the body is capable of gaining bone density and muscle strength. Through neuroplasticity, the body can adapt when weak muscles are strengthened and tight tissues are stretched. While skeletal issues may limit the degree of improvement, regular movement and targeted exercises can restore alignment and function. The Toll of Sitting Sitting for eight to ten hours a day quickly reshapes the body. Extended events or workdays often leave people feeling one with the chair, collapsing into poor posture. That reduces energy, focus, and creativity. Megan recommends taking short breaks to stand up, stretch, or strike a power pose to instantly improve attention, boost creative thinking, and sustain productivity. Hot Yoga: Trend or Health Tool? Practiced in rooms heated to about 105°F, hot yoga can help soften tissues and deepen flexibility. However, Megan cautions that most people are dehydrated, and the extreme heat places extra strain on the heart. Without strong body awareness, participants may overstretch tendons and ligaments. For those who are healthy, hydrated, and experienced, hot yoga can be beneficial. For most others, Megan recommends warm yoga as a safer alternative. Power Pauses and Adult Recess Megan has developed the concept of power pauses, short, intentional breaks for breathwork, stretching, or light movement. These re-energize participants during long events, especially after meals. She frames them as “adult recess,” making wellness fun, inclusive, and highly effective for engagement and focus. Wellness at Events Megan integrates yoga, breathwork, and energizing breaks into conferences and events, both in Maui and virtually. She often starts mornings with grounding practices, weaves in power pauses throughout the agenda, and closes with mindful exercises. Her keynote, Habits of a Happy Human: Small Shifts for a Chaotic World, adds another layer of impact, helping participants stay engaged, energized, and connected.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered what it's really like to live in paradise? Wonder no more as Carol takes us behind the postcard-perfect beaches of Hawaii to reveal the authentic island experience that changed her life forever.Carol's journey began as a college exchange student at the University of Hawaii, where her perspective on travel—and life—underwent a profound transformation. Far from the Brady Bunch or Gilligan's Island vision she expected, Carol discovered a Hawaii of high-rises, diverse communities, and an infectious "aloha spirit" that slowed everything down. "People would say, 'Oh, you must be from the mainland because you walk so fast,'" she recalls with a laugh.The episode delves into the practical realities of Hawaiian living—from the creative housing solutions needed in one of America's most expensive markets to the respectful navigation of local customs and spaces. Carol offers fascinating insights into the distinct personalities of each island: bustling Oahu with its tourist-heavy Waikiki, honeymoon-perfect Maui with its whale watching opportunities, and the Big Island with its remarkable climate diversity and more affordable real estate options. Her insider tips are invaluable—like experiencing Diamond Head at sunset during a full moon or finding the perfect boogie boarding spot at Little Beach in Maui.Perhaps most compelling is Carol's reflection on how her Hawaii experience launched a lifetime of global adventures. Inspired by Australian travelers she met who would "travel for one or two years at a time," she developed a pattern of working in restaurants, saving money, and taking month-long international trips every six to nine months. Her parting wisdom resonates deeply: "If you want to grow as a human being, you've got to travel." Whether it makes you more grateful for home or opens your eyes to new possibilities, Carol's Hawaii story reminds us that sometimes paradise isn't just a destination—it's the beginning of a journey.Follow and rate us in your podcast app to support the show, and connect with us on Instagram @where_next_podcast for more travel inspiration!Support the showPlease download, like, subscribe, share a review, and follow us on your favorite podcasts app and connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wherenextpodcast/View all listening options: https://wherenextpodcast.buzzsprout.com/HostsCarol Springer: https://www.instagram.com/carol.work.lifeKristen: https://www.instagram.com/team_wake/ If you can, please support the show or you can buy us a coffee.
