Episode 107: Calloway County injury attorney Jeff Roberts explains how a healthcare lien affects your settlement.  This is a situation that may surprise you if you've been injured, settled your claim and received your settlement check.  If the healthcare lien hasn't been resolved, it might not be time to celebrate. We hope you found this episode insightful and helpful.  Thank you for listening! What Do Other Clients Think About Jeff? We always encourage listeners to read the Google Reviews Jeff Roberts has received from many of his clients.  A 5-Star rating and the comments are earned recognition and demonstrate Jeff's commitment to his clients.  As a solo attorney, he has more Google Reviews than some firms with multiple attorneys.  Jeff shares the credit with his staff at the Roberts Law Office.  Successfully representing injured clients is a team effort.  It's why Jeff likes to say his firm offers small town service with big city results.   Jeff Roberts Represents Injured Clients Throughout Kentucky With offices located in Calloway County (Murray) and now in Christian County (Hopkinsville), Jeff has a history of representing personal injury clients, workers' compensation clients and social security disability clients across the state.  He's represented clients from Paducah, Bowling Green, Louisville, Covington, Whitesville and many other Kentucky locations.  He's not just a Western Kentucky injury attorney.                                                                                                        Is It Time to Speak with an Attorney about Your Injury Claim?

" Horror is the excitement of the unknown." It's dark all around you. You clutch your flashlight with trembling hands, but the beam of light blinds you when it hits a wall of fog. In the swirling mist ahead, eerie creatures wander the grounds between you and your goal. You must use your knowledge of the inhabitants of this place to save yourself and your friends. Welcome to Lockhill. Bill Dalitsikas, owner of Lockhill Escape Game in Athens, Greece, is the master of horror, when it comes to escape rooms. The Sanatorium premiered at the #5 spot on the TERPECA awards, and Chapel & Catacombs was voted the #1 escape room in the world in 2022. (Both games also won Golden Lock Awards.) He joins us on REPOD to talk about his inspiration, thoughts on what makes for a good horror escape room, and the Athens escape room scene. These games are massive, and it's absolutely wild that for the most part, Bill designs and builds these games all by himself. I really loved hearing him talk about using actors as puzzles in his games. It's one of the many mechanics that make his games feel like real live video games. Indeed, he was heavily inspired by Silent Hill, Mansions of Madness, and Betrayal at House on the Hill. It became very clear as we talked to Bill that his motivation isn't to scare the players as much as possible; rather it's to give the players the best experience possible. That's why he has three different game modes for The Sanatorium: Day Mode where it's less scary with more focus on the puzzles, Night Mode where the focus is on the actors and scares, and Midnight Mode where players get the best of both worlds—maximum puzzles and maximum scares. Even if you're not a fan of horror games, I think you will find this conversation compelling. Hopefully it will convince you check out the games at Lockhill next time your are near Athens.   Full Show Notes   Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors: Weldwood Marketing, Buzzshot, COGS by Clockwork Dog, and Patreon supporters like you.    Weldwood Marketing Maximize your online presence with Weldwood Marketing.

Some people build their businesses one fire at a time. Sadiq Isu builds with the end in mind — and it shows. Brandon and I sat down with Sadiq to talk about what it looks like to lead with clarity. He's an immigrant who bought, built, and sold restoration companies — and did it on purpose. No scramble, no guesswork. Just steady, strategic growth with people and legacy at the core. This isn't theory. It's what happens when you trade short-term wins for long-term impact. Why You Should Listen: [08:22] From night shift to ownership — Sadiq's first few years in the U.S. [16:41] Why he builds every company from the exit backward [24:12] How he 2–3x'd his company's value before selling [26:00] The one trait that makes a partnership work [33:44] Faith, family, and values — not just talk, but operational strategy [40:35] What restoration leaders are missing — and how to course-correct [49:01] How to build a company that reflects who you are — not just what you do If you're building something to last — this one's worth a listen. -Chris Thank you sponsors!

Boy I love BIN NIGHT! It's a weekly (or regular at least) opportunity to declutter rubbish from around the house. However your rubbish is removed, whether it's a communal apartment bins, curbside pickup or tip drop off, what a gift it is!! I encourage you to take full advantage of your rubbish removal - walk around your house with a rubbish bag and collect as much rubbish as you can. Aim to full the rubbish bins before each pick up - whatever you can remove from your house is automatic decluttering.And in this episode I explore the idea of having rubbish bins located in many places throughout your house - in your home office, in the bathroom and even in the lounge room if you need. If there are places where rubbish tends to accumulate in your home, pop a rubbish bin in that space and reduce the clutter of displaced rubbish.Listen NextRecycling Holding ZoneJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

Sick of marketing that feels fake? Robert Bean of IMPACT shares how ethical persuasion and purpose-driven storytelling attract dream clients - no selling out necessary. Discover how your unique purpose, not the usual list of qualifications, is your most valuable marketing tool. Design has a unique power to heal, but we don't spend enough time talking about how the spaces we create will make someone feel Marketing is the energy of stating "I'm here!" You have to value yourself to be valued. Your unique story is your value, not the status quo Always apply the "fun metric." If you aren't enjoying your work, you're stuck and so is your ability to resonate with clients and be ingenious. The magic of attracting ideal clients lies in the story of your purpose, the BTS process of creating a design and the testimonial of user experience. The story emerges when we listen, to ourselves and our clients. Telling that story is one of the highest forms of marketing - ethical persuasion

" Challenging yourself is how you produce growth in your own life." Countless late nights, occasional tears, and many great conversations later, we did it. We made it to 100 episodes of REPOD! We've had so many incredible guests come on the show, fully willing to share the secret sauce to their success. These guests have been a treasure trove of creative inspiration. From discussing how to create immersive sets, to tricks for directing a player's attention, from how to effectively market your business to creating puzzles, our guests didn't gatekeep or pull their punches. To celebrate, we're taking a look back through the archives and picking some noteworthy clips. These were all things our guests said that really resonated with us – personally, professionally, or on a creative level. Each of these clips fundamentally changed how we think about something. Maybe it gave us a new perspective on leadership, like Elan Lee's clip about "other people's work." Or perhaps it was Christine Barger going against industry norms by allowing filming in her escape room. Others were more philosophical, like Alexander Gierholz's musings on the dissonance of escapism. Many of these clips helped shape the way we think about immersive design, such as Linda Klein talking about "experiential mixers" or Tommy Honton's "adrenaline map." It's been an amazing 100 episodes of Reality Escape Pod. I hope our guests have also inspired you in your creative journey. And if they did, we'd love to hear about it.

The Father, the Builder, the Balance - This one's personal. Chris and I sat down to talk about the real stuff behind building a business—being husbands, dads, friends—while staying ambitious. If you're in that tension too, you'll feel seen in this one. Why You Should Listen: [04:47] Building can cost more than you think—especially at home. [06:10] Chris opens up about losing his dad and the emotional wreckage that followed. [16:32] What does it mean to live like a Renaissance man? [35:57] You don't have to carry the whole business to win big. [44:44] “Are you ready to not matter to your business?” The exit nobody prepares for. [54:13] If you're a dad or a son—this is your call to lean in. No business strategy here—just two guys wrestling with what really matters. —Brandon Thank you sponsors!

In the latest Trial Lawyer View, Jason Lazarus sits down with digital marketing strategist Kevin Daisey to break down what personal injury law firms must understand about digital visibility in 2025 and beyond. This isn't theory—it's a roadmap. From why law firms are taking more control over their marketing, to how online reviews, SEO, and client experience all connect—you'll leave with strategies you can use immediately to sharpen your competitive edge.

"It's the first science-based escape room." If you ask an escape room enthusiast about entanglement puzzles, what likely springs to mind are those intertwined, bent metal nails that you need to separate. However, for Paul Kwiat, an entanglement puzzle is something else completely. Professor Kwiat is an acclaimed physicist, specializing in quantum physics, including quantum entanglement, along with quantum cryptography, dense-coding, quantum teleportation, entanglement distillation, and most recently, optical quantum gates. Phew! But what's a physicist doing on REPOD? Besides his many other accomplishments, Professor Kwiat has also created LabEscape, the first science-based escape room. Most of the puzzles in his games are built on different science phenomena such as magnetism, thermodynamics, and polarization. Many of these are rather advanced principles that would be taught at a college-level course. These are not games for kids! Professor Kwiat explains that he had three goals when creating his escape room. One—to show that science can be both relevant and accessible. Two—to show that these scientific effects are aesthetically beautiful. Three—that science is fun! His love of science and physics is certainly infectious. We couldn't resist the opportunity to chat about quantum mechanics, including quantum computers, and cryptography. I truly appreciated that he took the time to explain all these principles to us, even if it meant crushing my romantic notions of how quantum entanglement works. This episode is a bit different, but I think you'll certainly learn something.   Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors: Weldwood Marketing, Buzzshot, COGS by Clockwork Dog, and Patreon supporters like you.    Weldwood Marketing Maximize your online presence with Weldwood Marketing.

Reverse Decluttering is making decisions about what you keep rather than what you want to let go of. By process of elimination, whatever you don't keep you declutter.This can be helpful if you're overwhelmed by a huge collection and know you can only keep a small amount. It can also be really useful if you have limited space and have to curate your possessions to fit, picking your favourite until the space is full rather than facing the daunting task of reducing and reducing.If you're decluttering with a child it can also be helpful to have them pick their favourites rather than what they don't like as they may like everything!Read the Article in Stylisthttps://www.stylist.co.uk/life/reverse-decluttering-method/990561Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

"It was like a laser tag basement with Party City decorations." Escape rooms? What are those? Well, it says here that you're locked in a room, and if you can't solve the puzzles fast enough, a zombie will get you! According to Trip Advisor, it's the top rated activity in the city. The year is 2014. Amanda Harris has just discovered her first escape room... and her life was changed forever. Since that fateful day, she has gone on to play well over 1,700 escape rooms. She is currently one of the most experienced escape room players in the country, if not the world. Amanda joins us to talk about the escape room era of yore, when most rooms were festooned with cheap locks and even cheaper furniture. The puzzles were mostly bad, and many of the games were created and run by slightly sadistic gamemasters who guarded hints like dragons sitting on their hoards. Yet she played game after game after game. Despite how terrible many of the early escape rooms were, she still loved them, and played as many as she could find. Indeed, even finding the games themselves was a challenge back then, let alone finding the gems. Those few gems, however, were absolutely incredible. That's a large part of the reason why David and Lisa created Room Escape Artist all those years ago. Tune in to this episode to hear David and Amanda reminisce about the bad old days and trade war stories about "the early days of  completely bananas, insane escape rooms."     Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors: Weldwood Marketing, Buzzshot, COGS by Clockwork Dog, and Patreon supporters like you.    Weldwood Marketing Maximize your online presence with Weldwood Marketing.

My guest Ingrid is part of the dynamic duo from The Declutter Hub podcast and she shares how thinking through the emotions and potential pitfalls can be super helpful to prepare you well for the task of the doing when it comes to decluttering.For instance, if you have a quantity problem, it requires more than just decluttering a cupboard... you actually need to do some thinking about why you have a clutter problem, what causes the problem, what feeds the problem, how to tackle the clutter itself, what do you need in order to have success... and once you've done the thinking... then you can be strategic in the doing.Follow The Declutter HubWebsitePodcastYouTubeJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

"Once it clicks, you have sweet epiphany." In the dingy dark hallway of an asylum or prison, two men are struggling in a battle of life or death. One man is writhing on the ground while the other has something wrapped around his throat. The art is captivating and gothic, verging on grotesque, and they're animated in an unsettling way. The movement suggests a moment caught in time. We, as investigators, are tasked with uncovering the sequence of events behind this story. The Rise of the Golden Idol is a mystery-solving, narrative-driven game, and the gameplay truly makes the players feel like detectives investigating the scene of a crime. You hear from suspects, examine the evidence and search crime scenes for clues. The story itself is twisty and fantastical, and feels almost impossible to solve at first until you start pulling at threads. There is a deep satisfaction to solving the puzzles and creating order from the chaos. Brothers Andrejs Klavins and Ernests Klavins of Color Gray Games join us all the way from Latvia to talk about creating this popular series of games. I really enjoyed hearing about the changes they made from The Case of the Golden Idol when developing the sequel, and how to fine-tune difficulty in these types of mystery games. I was also especially impressed to hear that these games are written in English, which is not their native language. If you love escape rooms, puzzle games, or solving investigative mysteries, I highly recommend you check out The Case of the Golden Idol and The Rise of the Golden Idol.     Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors: Weldwood Marketing, Buzzshot, COGS by Clockwork Dog, and Patreon supporters like you.    Weldwood Marketing Maximize your online presence with Weldwood Marketing.

Spoon theory - what a gift to those of us with chronic illness, disability or mental health challenges! Spoon theory is a theory anyone can use - it's simply a theory to articulate personal energy levels and capacity on any given day. Energy is consumed by daily activity, decision making, socialising, talking, listening, thinking, emotions - all your activities require spoons! For some people having a shower requires just one spoon, for someone else it requires 4 spoons - and getting to know your own energy levels is a great tool for self empathy, self actualisation and self advocacy.Having a cluttered home and trying to manage an excess of possessions, or constantly feeling like you're tidying up uses a lot of spoons. So the habit and activity of decluttering and organising is a great gift to your future self. Less clutter means your daily tidying requires less spoons. And if you're someone who finds that doing the activity of decluttering requires SO MANY SPOONS, you'll find some great tips in this episode for how to conserve spoons while also moving forward. Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

"It's not about the size of the room, it's about the richness of the details." Whether you're making new robot friends, investigating a haunted school, or cooking up some puzzles, the escape rooms at Omescape Sunnyvale are all absolute bangers. Omescape Sunnyvale is a rare gem in the escape room world. Their games are all massive (or feel massive) with gorgeous sets, chock-full of puzzles, and oftentimes with unique mechanics. They're all telling different stories with different styles of gameplay, and this is all contained under one roof at Omescape's Sunnyvale location. Sarah Zhang, one of the co-founders of Omescape Sunnyvale, joins us to chat about their escape rooms. While many of their games are licensed, Sarah explains that they usually end up changing over 80% of the game, building new sets, creating new puzzles, and even writing new narratives. As an escape room enthusiast, Sarah often travels the world playing games, and when an especially interesting mechanic or aesthetic catches her attention, rather than just copying it, she looks to license the game. This is a pretty unique approach, and I appreciated her candor in explaining their business practices. As the conversation progresses, it becomes very clear that Sarah has a deep understanding of what makes games fun for players. She talks about the need for puzzles that involve the whole team as well as designing around a few "aha!" moments. I especially appreciated the segment where she talks about the importance of ending a game on a thrilling, physical sequence. This gets the players' heart rates up, and creates a strong ending memory for the guests. Check out the whole episode for the secret sauce behind Omescape Sunnyvale's success.   Full Show Notes   Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors: Weldwood Marketing, Buzzshot, COGS by Clockwork Dog, and Patreon supporters like you.    Weldwood Marketing Maximize your online presence with Weldwood Marketing.

" It's a quirky and complex puzzle."  In the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff, on the stroke of midnight during a hellish thunderstorm, you hear a scream. You all rushed to the town square to find that your beloved storyteller has been murdered! This is the work of a nefarious demon... a demon that kills by night and takes on human form by day. Blood on the Clocktower is a game of lies and truth, team building and betrayal, and a game of secret identities. It is also, in our opinion, the best social deduction game in the world. Steven Medway, the creator of Blood on the Clocktower, joins us to talk about fine-tuning the balance of the game, the role of dead players, how the game experience changes depending on which country you're playing in, and so much more. What sets Blood on the Clocktower apart from other social deduction games is how well-balanced it feels as a player. Much of the information given and gathered by the "good team" works like a sort of logic puzzle, as the players piece together the truth in a variety of ways. However, the "evil team" is given many opportunities to spread misinformation, which really levels the playing field. There are also affordances made for "dead players" as well as people joining the game late or leaving early. Steven shares insights about his design process when creating characters and mechanics for Blood on the Clocktower. He also answers questions from our listeners. I was particularly fascinated by the segment where he talks about how the gaming experience varies by country. Whether you're a game designer interested in balancing strategy games or just a fan of Blood on the Clocktower, I highly recommend checking out this interview.   Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors: Weldwood Marketing, Buzzshot, COGS by Clockwork Dog, and Patreon supporters like you.    Weldwood Marketing Maximize your online presence with Weldwood Marketing.

Brandon here. Look — I get it. Financial episodes don't usually light people's hair on fire. But this one? This one's different. Chris and I sat down with Jim Emerich and Melissa Zinni from Backbone CFO — and I walked away with real answers to questions I've been wrestling with in my own business. This convo was way more than spreadsheets and P&Ls. We got into the real mindset traps that keep us stuck — and the strategic moves that can unlock margin and cash flow. Why you should listen: (34:42) Why business owners freeze — and how to break through indecision. (41:42) Controller vs. CFO — know the difference, save your business. (13:40) Expanding locations? Avoid the cash flow sucker punch. (47:43) What 20% profit actually looks like — and how to get there. (57:52) How one company saved $50K by ditching a bloated setup. (51:15) Self-insurance and group captives — the financial hacks nobody's using. This one's loaded with takeaways. If you're trying to scale smart and stop leaving money on the table, don't skip it.

“Creating the escape room becomes the escape room.” New York City is REPOD co-host David Spira's home market. Whenever he's recommending escape rooms to guests and visitors, his favorite go-to is MyssTic Escape Rooms in Brooklyn, NY. Two of their escape rooms have won Golden Lock awards: Ghost Light, and their newest game, The Bird. Gara Roda and Moritz Marti, the co-founders of MyssTic Rooms, join us today on REPOD to talk about the challenges of building a world class escape room in bustling New York City, especially when they are far from their home countries. There are many reasons it's challenging to build escape rooms in NYC. Real estate is expensive, the hurdles of navigating the city's fire codes are many, and square footage is at a premium. An affordable place for their business meant a basement location which came with its own set of complications. A near catastrophic flood in the early days led to some pretty impressive flood mitigation. Shortly after they first opened, a tragic fire occurred in an escape room in Poland, which led to a crackdown by fire inspectors all over the world, but with especially tight restrictions in New York. Gara and Moritz persevered, despite all the setbacks, and it was inspiring to hear them talk about how all the different constraints led to more creativity. As David points out, even though their games are small in comparison to other escape rooms, "every single nook and cranny had an abundance of detail." These two escape room creators have endured seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and yet have recently just been honored with another Golden Lock award for their newest game, The Bird. They mention at the end of the episode that eventually they are looking to move back to Europe and are open to finding a partner or even possibly a buyer. So hit 'em up if this sounds interesting to you.

Do you have items that you've purchased that you really need to return to store? You changed your mind, the item doesn't fit, you purchased too many, or simply the wrong colour!? And be honest, how long have you been procrastinating returning those items? I see it all the time - clients have clothes, toys, household items that they've bought (usually online) and they need to return them for whatever reason, but instead of doing the admin of the return, they sit in boxes and bags in our loungerooms, spare rooms and studies.I've recently experienced this with left over supplies from our renovation. We finished the reno and then I gathered all the things that we had over purchased, or not needed ready to return. But it's such a hard task to get excited about. you've got to find the receipt, put everything back in the car, then when you get to the shop you have to get everything out, explain etc and go through the process.But... please hear me - IT'S WORTH IT!!Your returns and refunds are a tab open in your brain, the stuff you're waiting to return is clutter in your house.ACCC Warranties and Refunds Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

  "Hiding interesting objects in plain sight is a hallmark of Great Gotham Challenge." In New York, everyone's got a story. A gimmick. A hustle. The city's crawling with characters. Some are just colorful. Others... well, others are part of something bigger. A secret. A puzzle. That hot dog vendor on the corner? A whispered password might just grant you access to a secret underground lair. You never really know if someone's just being New York... or if you're already inside the game. Capturing this elusive feeling of a magical underground is what drives Jon Seale and Ryan Patch. They run the Great Gotham Challenge, a massive city-wide puzzle adventure that weaves through the bones of New York City. They describe it as part puzzle hunt, part Amazing Race, and part immersive theater. I really enjoyed hearing about all the custom props they create for the Great Gotham Challenge that look like ordinary New York objects, but are actually part of the game. There is something magical about an item hidden in plain sight that players will overlook until they're clued to take a deeper look. Much of their game is designed to encourage players to explore stories of New York's oddities and its secret histories. They also talk about working on Compass, formerly known as "Midnight Madness." You can read reviews about past Great Gotham Challenges on Room Escape Artist.   Full Show Notes   Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors: Weldwood Marketing, Buzzshot, COGS by Clockwork Dog, Hive: The Race to Save Time Puzzle Hunt, and Patreon supporters like you.    Weldwood Marketing Maximize your online presence with Weldwood Marketing.

Injury happens to all of us, and the frustration is real. Some quick tips today on how to stay organised while you have an injury.Firstly, remember to rest - the decluttering and organising can wait, and it's not worth making an injury worse to achieve a tidy home.Next, ask for help - to accommodate your needs right now, or to help tidy so it's not bothering you so much. Maybe write yourself a list on your phone of areas you'd like to declutter when you're able.And think of ways you can organise to make life easier with your injury. Bring high use items down to easy to reach spaces or repurpose your bedside table or coffee table - get creative so you can rest and recuperate or reduce the frustration at least with your reduced capacity.Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In fact, over the course of the interview, Eric often came back to the importance of finding your inspiration. His two most well-received games were both conceived when an inspiration "lit a fire inside (of him)." He also very candidly tells us about losing that inspiration while in the process of playtesting The Dome, and how he needed to step away to regain a fresh perspective. This worked, because David tells us that there was a marked difference in players' reception to the game in the very early days of the game's launch compared to after Eric returned from his break, reinspired. Creating anything requires not only a huge investment of time and money, but it also requires a strong belief in your concept. I certainly found inspiration from hearing Eric tell us about his escape room journey, and I hope you will as well.     Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors: Weldwood Marketing, Buzzshot, COGS by Clockwork Dog, and Patreon supporters like you.    Weldwood Marketing Maximize your online presence with Weldwood Marketing.
