In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas speaks with Billy Cullen, a London taxi driver and history enthusiast, about the unique experience of navigating London's rich history through the lens of the iconic black cab. They discuss the rigorous training known as 'The Knowledge,' the challenges of being a tour guide, and the impact of modern technology like Uber on the traditional taxi industry. Billy shares insights on hidden gems in London, the importance of supporting local businesses, and the evolving landscape of tourism in the city. Links Website: londonhistorytaxitours.com Billy's Black Cab Tour: londonhistorytaxitours.com/book-now/details/372561/billys-black-cab-tour-of-london/ Instagram: @londonhistorytaxitours Transport for London: tfl.gov.uk/info-for/taxis-and-private-hire/licensing/learn-the-knowledge-of-london Takeaways The Knowledge is a rigorous training process for London taxi drivers. Billy Cullen combines his passion for history with his taxi driving. London's history spans over 2000 years, offering endless exploration. The black cab experience provides a personal connection to the city. Supporting local businesses is crucial for the economy. Uber has changed the landscape of the taxi industry in London. Layover tours offer a unique way to experience London in a short time. Hidden gems like Greenwich are often overlooked by tourists. Film and TV locations are increasingly popular among visitors. The future of London's museums is promising with new developments. Soundbites "I started thinking about doing the knowledge for freedom, working for myself. Freedom and a cool city." — Billy on why he became a cabbie. "You have to see the map of London in your head." — Billy on what the Knowledge actually requires. "They say you can't fail the knowledge, you can only quit." — Billy on the grueling examination process. "Some driver drove past and shouted out the window, 'Don't bother mate, the game's dead, give it up.' I was furious. After about five minutes, I shrugged it off and carried on my run." — Billy on nearly being discouraged. "It's a proven fact that the London black cab driver has a significantly larger hippocampus than the average person." — Billy on what the Knowledge does to your brain. "You'll be on Regent Street and someone will come out in front of you and just start taking loads of pictures and you feel like you're a celebrity." — Billy on driving an iconic black cab. "99% of the time, people are amazed by the stuff they weren't expecting. It's the secret things that also make up London, not just the stuff you see on pamphlets." — Billy on what surprises American tourists. "If there's one reason why you should use a black cab rather than Uber, it's because we actually care. Our badge is worth millions of pounds. It's a lifetime of employment." — Billy defending the trade. "Support local, support the local businesses. Don't pay up to a multi-billion company that has no care for human welfare." — Billy on why to skip Uber in London. "Know that you can't do everything in one trip. There's people that have lived in London that would need at least 200 lifetimes." — Billy's advice for first-time visitors.

Today's guest is Zac Cupples, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, a physical therapist and strength coach known for bridging rehabilitation and performance. He's the founder of ZacCupples.com and is respected for translating complex concepts around respiration and movement mechanics into practical tools coaches and clinicians can immediately apply to improve efficiency, reduce pain, and enhance performance. The bridge between sports performance rehab is an important one. In the midst of movement mechanics that drive good rehab, and high intensity lifting, lies the knowledge that can help athletes make continual gains while staying robust and healthy for their sport. On today's show, Zac explores how an athlete's structure influences movement, strength training, and even injury risk. He shares his track background and how it shaped his coaching, then unpacks concepts like narrow vs. wide “ISA” builds, why some athletes struggle to feel their hamstrings in traditional lifts, and how tools like front loading, box squats, machines, and sprinting can solve it.

"It assumes everyone has the same body but no two people are going to perform both of those movements the same way, and it's not going to load the same way." "I start the majority of people with a box squat, because the way I think about a hinge is it's different from a squat because the hips are going to be moving more along that horizontal path." "It's way more useful to think, am I moving up and down? Am I moving side to side? And then just pick exercises within what a person has available." "If someone can't produce certain rotations, and I know that you need those rotations to do this movement, you probably got to find something else to train that pattern within their constraints." "You just have to find the hinge variation that they can execute. And if they don't have much to do that, you have to create constraints." About Zac Cupples Zac Cupples, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS is a physical therapist, strength coach, and educator specializing in human movement, respiration, and performance optimization. He is the founder of ZacCupples.com and has become widely known for translating complex biomechanical and neurophysiological concepts into practical strategies that clinicians and coaches can immediately apply.

In this conversation, David Bross shares his unique journey from being a director of photography to woodworking and app development. He discusses the creation of his free iPhone app Digilog, which simulates Kodak film looks, and his philosophy of open-source software and teaching the next generation of filmmakers. David walks us through the technical challenges behind the Digilog app (free in the App Store here), from translating his DaVinci Resolve color grading workflow into code, to navigating Apple's app review process which rejected the app 15 times before approval. He also talks about sourcing rare Kodak CCD sensors to revisit the Digital Bolex project, not as a revival but as a stepping stone toward something bigger: building custom, artisanal cameras shaped by personal needs rather than the technological race. Along the way, he shares a candid take on why he believes modern cameras have reached a point of visual uniformity — and why that's a problem worth solving.

Check out Rental Property Pro: https://rentalproppro.com/booking?am_id=reign 290 - Scaling Real Estate Investments with Chandra Adduri Jen Josey kicks off this REIGN "Past Project" episode with a Badassery Bestowment on turning family and friends into private money lenders—without wrecking relationships. She walks through how to lead with education, focus on safety and clarity, keep terms simple, use professional paperwork (title company/attorney), and communicate like a CEO so lenders feel protected and respected. Jen then welcomes first-time podcast guest Chandra Adduri, a New Jersey-based tech professional and long-time investor with an 18-property, multi-state portfolio. Chandra shares how his upbringing in India shaped his "invest in land/assets" mindset, why mentorship matters (shoutout to Rental Property Pro and John Blackburn), and how buying out of state helped him avoid the "DIY trap" that kills scalability. The featured project is Chandra's newest acquisition: a 3 bed/2 bath beach condo in a Myrtle Beach resort community, purchased to expand into short-term rentals (STRs) and leverage STR tax advantages. He breaks down why he likes HOA amenities for competitiveness and convenience, how he financed with a specialized "condotel" loan, what he changed to stand out (colorful furniture + crisp white linens), and what it really takes to self-manage STRs—systems, fast responses, and a reliable local team. The episode wraps with Jen's BADASS acronym segment, covering Chandra's favorite book, advice, goals (including acquiring a home services business), and his definition of success: buying back time. 00:00 Introduction to REIGN and Today's Episode 00:58 Badassery Bestowment: Turning Family and Friends into Private Money Lenders 03:44 Meet Today's Guest: Chandra Adduri 04:59 Chandra's Real Estate Journey and Background 09:56 Exploring Short-Term Rentals and HOA Benefits 15:19 Financing and Furnishing a Short-Term Rental 18:30 Coffee Maker Tips and Initial Advice 18:44 Breaking Down the Numbers 19:04 Cash Flow and Tax Benefits 20:38 Long-Term vs Short-Term Rentals 21:48 Managing Short-Term Rentals 22:48 Building a Reliable Team 25:40 Future Plans and Goals 27:49 BADASS Acronym Breakdown 34:32 Final Thoughts and Success 5 key takeaways Private money works best when you educate first, not pitch first—and you protect relationships with clarity, structure, and consistent communication. Out-of-state investing can be a "self-control strategy" if you're tempted to DIY every repair; distance forces you to build a team and scale. Resort/HOA STRs can be a competitive advantage because amenities (pools, lazy river, hot tubs) help you stand out without personally managing them. STRs are hospitality, not landlording—expect constant questions, fast messaging, local-area knowledge, and SOPs for cleaners/handymen. Chandra's Myrtle Beach deal shows how STRs can be bought for cash flow and tax strategy (cost segregation + bonus depreciation), especially for high W-2 earners. Chandra Adduri Chandra Adduri is a New Jersey-based tech professional on the engineering side of the industry who has spent the last decade building a data-driven real estate portfolio. He owns 18 properties across multiple states, including New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Florida. Known for his systems-first approach and strong local "dream teams," Chandra is now expanding into short-term rentals to explore growth potential and tax advantages while continuing to scale with disciplined operations.

Ep 139 - Hosts JP Mint and Greg Lemoine reconnect with longtime international educator and MYP middle school principal Chris Irvin, whose 20+ year journey spans Canada, Venezuela and China.
