The Smokies are all but done, with glorious weather all the way with just one day to go. I think I was more concerned about them than I should have been, but it has been a pure pleasure to be hiking above the clouds at 5-6,000 feet all day long. This recap covers last Wednesday thru Saturday, when I navigated the perils of Newfound Gap, needing to get to Gatlinburg, yet stay in Cherokee. Happily it all worked out. Along the way, I chatted with a ridge runner, Houdini, who shared a few tips with me. It's been a great four days. I'm using Polarsteps to record my AT thru-hike this year.

299 - The Short-Term Rental Safety Mistakes That Could Destroy Your Business Your short-term rental could be one overlooked hazard away from a lawsuit, a tragedy, or the end of your investing career — and you probably don't even know it. In this eye-opening episode of REIGN, the Real Estate Investor Growth Network, host Jen Josey sits down with Justin Ford, Director of Safety and Certification Programs at Breezeway, to expose the hidden dangers that most STR hosts completely ignore. With nearly 30 years in the short-term rental industry, Justin reveals why over 80% of incidents have nothing to do with fire — and everything to do with what happens in the first hour your guest arrives. Justin shares the real story behind how a rusty hammock and a near-fatal injury launched the short-term rental industry's first-ever safety checklist, now used in 72 languages worldwide. From grill fires and appliance maintenance to pool drownings and fire pit hazards, this conversation is packed with practical, no-fluff guidance that every STR host and property manager needs. You'll learn why childproofing your rental could actually increase your liability, how documentation in platforms like Breezeway can protect you in court, and why safety is quickly becoming the most powerful marketing tool in the short-term rental space. Whether you own one cabin in the woods or manage hundreds of vacation rentals, this episode is your wake-up call. Regulations are tightening in markets like the Smoky Mountains, Palm Springs, and Maui — and the investors who get ahead of safety standards now will be worth significantly more when those rules hit their market. If you want to protect your guests, protect your assets, and build a rental business that actually lasts, this conversation is non-negotiable. 5 Powerful Takeaways Slips, trips, and falls cause over 80% of STR incidents — most happen within the first hour of arrival, meaning your walkway, lighting, and entry approach could be your biggest liability right now Fire extinguishers under the sink are a code-compliant mistake — Justin explains exactly where extinguishers should be mounted and why the placement most hosts use could cost them everything in an emergency Childproofing your rental actually increases your legal exposure — discover the counterintuitive reason why Justin warns hosts to never install outlet covers or attempt to make their property childproof Safety is your most underutilized marketing advantage — a survey found that 62% of people who have never stayed in an Airbnb cite safety as the reason, meaning hosts who lead with safety standards can convert a brand-new audience of guests Regulatory changes are coming to your market — STR safety codes already hitting Gatlinburg, Palm Springs, and New Orleans will eventually reach every market, and the investors who upgrade now will have properties worth tens of thousands more when compliance becomes mandatory About the Guest Justin Ford is the Director of Safety and Certification Programs at Breezeway and one of the most recognized voices in short-term rental safety globally. With nearly 30 years of experience in the vacation rental industry, Justin developed the STR industry's first safety checklist in 2014 — a resource now available in 72 languages and used by hosts and property managers around the world. A former U.S. Coast Guard serviceman and 15-year volunteer firefighter, Justin brings real-world emergency experience to an industry that desperately needs it. He has trained thousands of professionals across the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and beyond, and currently serves on committees for the International Residential Code and the NFPA to help write safety standards specifically for short-term rentals. Justin's approach is practical, direct, and deeply human — because for him, safety is personal.

Legendary drummer Vinny Appice catches up with Eddie Trunk to discuss the new Heaven & Hell box set 'Breaking Out of Heaven,' which documents the band's 2007-2009 era. Vinny shares insights about his preference for single-bass drum playing despite pressure to expand his kit, and reflects on his work with Black Sabbath across multiple incarnations. He discusses the differences between recording 'The Devil You Know' versus earlier albums, his current Sabbath Knights project performing classic material, and updates on Last in Line. The conversation takes a delightful turn when Vinny recounts the famous story of his mother making lasagna for John Lennon—and her subsequent concern about getting her sacred pan back.

I didn't expect a 24-hour lesson to smack me in the face, but it did: wake up in Maine and go to bed in Texarkana, Arkansas, and you realize how much life can fit inside one day. I'm running hot lately, riding deadlines, feeling the walls close in, and trying to claw my way back to solid ground. Then my wife says the simplest thing that changes everything: go. Take the break. Get out of the foxhole for a minute.So we do something ridiculous. Brian Palmolo and I fly out, hit Houston, Uber down to Navasota, buy a 30-ish foot RV, and point it toward home with almost no plan beyond staying flexible. Along the way we deal with the realities everyone's talking about: travel stress, TSA chaos, and the cost of the road. But we also run into the best parts of America: helpful people, strange surprises, and the kind of moments you can't schedule.We end up camping at the Texarkana fairgrounds during a barrel racing championship, getting an unreal view over the Mississippi River from the Memphis Bass Pro pyramid, and living that Broadway night in Nashville where strangers turn into instant friends. We even pull off the sketchy “act like you belong” move to catch a few hours of sleep near the Tennessee Titans stadium before we roll out at 4 a.m. Then it's Smoky Mountains views, Gatlinburg energy, a real business opportunity for Loud Proud American, and one personal moment that hits me hard: spotting a bald eagle and feeling like my dad is still riding with me.If you've been feeling burnt out, stuck, or boxed in, let this be your nudge toward a factory reset.

In this gripping episode, we sit down with an all-star lineup of paranormal voices: Laura from the Midnight in the Mountains Podcast, Jason York from AFK Discussions, and Brooks Rinish from the East Tennessee paranormal team The Smokies Unforgotten Spirits.Together, we dive deep into one of Tennessee's most haunted and mysterious locations — Elkmont Ghost Town, nestled deep within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Gatlinburg.Once a thriving early 1900s logging community and exclusive mountain resort for the wealthy, Elkmont was left to slowly fade after the creation of the national park. Today, its decaying yet eerily preserved cabins, the infamous “Troll Bridge,” and historic homes stand as a haunting time capsule of Appalachian life — and a hotspot for intense paranormal activity.From shadowy air entities and dark figures to chilling encounters with Black-Eyed Kids, aggressive spirits, and even reports of Bigfoot, Elkmont has earned its reputation as one of the most active locations in the Smokies.But this episode goes far beyond the legends. The guys open up about a terrifying personal experience they had in the ghost town — an encounter so powerful it has haunted them ever since and may have left a lasting impact on their lives.Join us for a wild, unforgettable night at Elkmont Ghost Town and discover the lingering effects this abandoned place continues to have on those who dare to investigate it.Got a mind-blowing paranormal encounter, cryptid sighting, UFO experience, or any high-strangeness story that still gives you chills?

What if some of the most life-changing moments in youth ministry don't happen in the chruch building—but on a mountain, in the snow, or around a shared experience? In this Christmas-season episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards reflects on 35 years of student ministry and shares why retreats, trips, and shared adventures have consistently been one of the most powerful tools for evangelism, discipleship, and long-term spiritual impact. Starting with the Christmas story from Luke 2:8–14, Doug reminds youth pastors, volunteers, and parents that the message of Jesus brings great joy—and that joy can be experienced through generosity, service, and intentional ministry moments beyond the walls of the church. In this episode, Doug breaks down: ✅ Why Christmas is the perfect season to refocus students on generosity and service ✅ How organizations like Samaritan's Purse help students live out their faith ✅ Why retreats and trips create spiritual openness students rarely experience elsewhere ✅ Practical timing strategies for middle school, high school, and college retreats ✅ Why convenience and excitement matter more than being "as cheap as possible" ✅ How ski trips, winter retreats, and mission experiences led countless students to Christ ✅ Why your enthusiasm as a leader directly affects student buy-in and transformation Doug also shares behind-the-scenes wisdom from decades of organizing winter retreats in places like Colorado, Gatlinburg, West Virginia, and the East Coast, offering realistic insight for leaders considering trips in the future. Whether you're a youth pastor, volunteer, educator, parent, or grandparent, this episode will challenge you to think differently about how students encounter Jesus—and why some of the most meaningful ministry happens when you simply get them out of their normal environment. _________________________________________________________________________________

In this deeply moving conversation, Brian sits down with Michael Reed, author of The Million Stages of Grief, whose life changed forever on the night of the 2016 Gatlinburg fires. Michael lost his wife Constance and daughters Chloe and Lily in the tragedy—and today, he shares not only his story, but the wisdom, compassion, and hard-earned insight that grew from unimaginable loss.This episode explores what grief really looks like—messy, nonlinear, human—and why comparing grief (“less than,” “more than,” “should be over it”) only creates more suffering.You'll hear how Michael went from suicidal despair to becoming a voice for grievers everywhere.

The Million Stages of Grief begins with a fire that changed everything. When Michael Reed lost his wife and two daughters in the 2016 Gatlinburg wildfire, his life was reduced to ashes in an instant. What followed was a journey through darkness, heartbreak, and ultimately, healing. Guided by love, faith, and the belief that pain can lead to healing and purpose, Michael wrote The Million Stages of Grief to help others navigate loss and rediscover meaning. In this moving conversation, he shares how signs, forgiveness, and connection became the anchors that helped him rise out of the darkness. His story is a testament to resilience, the enduring power of love, and the truth that even in the deepest sorrow, we are never truly alone.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:Grief is not a linear process with five stages; it's a complex journey with “million stages.”The body remembers trauma and grief, even years later, manifesting in physical and emotional ways.Finding purpose in pain can be a powerful catalyst for healing and growth.Professional support, such as EMDR therapy, can be immensely helpful in processing trauma.Rebuilding after loss involves reshaping one's landscape and sometimes saying goodbye to old connections that no longer align with who you've become.Signs from lost loved ones can provide comfort and a sense of continued connection.Forgiveness, even for those who caused immense pain, is a crucial step in releasing the weight of anger and preventing oneself from becoming a “monster.”It's possible to experience joy alongside grief; one does not exclude the other.Sharing your story and helping others through their grief can be a profound source of healing and purpose.WATCH ON YOUTUBE: The Fire that Rewrote My Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEVZMuSA7Fg&list=PL7judgDzhkAWmfyB5r5WgFD6ahombBvohGrab a copy of Michael's The Million Stages of Grief at https://a.co/d/5TdaDnK---✨ Grief & Rebirth: Healing Resources & Tools ✨

In this special remastered episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, we honor the late Dr. Jeff Meldrum — a man whose dedication, kindness, and scientific curiosity forever changed the way the world views Sasquatch research.There are some people who leave a mark so deep, so genuine, that their absence feels almost impossible to comprehend. For me, one of those people was Dr. Jeff Meldrum.I first met Jeff back in March of 2021, when I was just a fledgling podcaster trying to find my footing. He didn't have to say yes to being on my show — but he did. Graciously. Humbly. From that moment on, he set the tone for the kind of person I'd come to know him to be.Just a few short years later, I found myself standing beside him on stage, sharing the spotlight with Jeff, Cliff Barackman, and Michael Freeman at a conference in Idaho. It was surreal — the same man I had admired for years was now a colleague, a friend, and a mentor. The last time I saw Jeff was back at the end of July, at the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Conference in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We had just finished setting up our booths when I noticed Jeff sitting quietly off to the side. I carried over the plaster casts of the footprints from our property — as I'd done before — hoping to get his thoughts.We sat and talked for a while — about his upcoming retirement, about life, and about the things that still fascinated him most. He joked about trying to convince his wife, Lauren, that he needed more space at home to store his growing collection of casts since he'd be losing his massive lab space at the university.I laughed, but something felt different. Jeff still had that kindness in his eyes, that thoughtful way about him — but there was a quiet heaviness there too.Still, as always, he was generous with his time and his spirit.I had no idea it would be the last time I'd see him.Since his passing, I've watched as countless people have shared their memories and tributes — from students and colleagues to lifelong fans around the world.I didn't rush to do the same, because I needed time. Time to sit with the loss. Time to reflect on what Jeff meant to me, and to this community.So tonight, I want to honor him in the most fitting way I can think of — by going back to where it all began.What you're about to hear is our very first conversation — fully remastered from the original Sasquatch Odyssey interview that aired back in March of 2021.This is my way of saying thank you, Jeff.For your kindness.For your brilliance.And for the legacy you've left behind in the study of Sasquatch — and in the hearts of all of us who were lucky enough to know you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Sugarlands Distilling Company is nestled in the foothills of Gatlinburg, TN. Even though they are a company that originally focused on moonshine, they have been getting noticed for their unique rye whiskey. Roaming Man is a cask-strength pot distilled rye whiskey, made from locally sourced grains and crafted in the largest copper pot still in the United States. Even though the first release of roaming man was in 2017, we had never heard of this company until our good friend Hector sent us some bottles. In this episode, we taste and review the cask strength version of this whiskey and the limited release 10 year version. With a mashbill of 51% rye, 45% white corn, and 4% malted barely, we can honestly say that this whiskey is unique. But would we pass, try, or buy? You'll have to listen to find out. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyJoin our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcastPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!
