They bled, and they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were impossibly knotted, they could untangle someone else's. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back."   ― Jodi Picoult, Second Glance   ------   Thank you for tuning in!   Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

Chef Brian Lewis is the founder and CEO of Full House Hospitality Group and a three-time James Beard Award finalist for Best Chef Northeast, with nominations in 2018, 2022, and 2025. A Culinary Institute of America and Johnson and Wales University graduate, he apprenticed under Jean Louis Palladin, Marco Pierre White, and Eric Ripert before becoming the founding executive chef of Richard Gere's The Bedford Post Inn, which earned Esquire's Best New Restaurant in 2009 and an Excellent review from The New York Times. In 2015 he founded Full House Hospitality Group, which now operates The Cottage in Westport and Greenwich, Connecticut, and OKO in Westport and Rye, New York, with 125 employees across four locations.This episode opens with a story about a job interview that most chefs would have walked away from. Lewis did not walk away. He secretly prepared an eight-course meal before anyone asked, controlled the entire tasting, and landed the role that gave him what he calls a PhD in opening and operating a restaurant from the ground up.How he built Full House Hospitality Group around a single principle: only expand when operations can thrive without you in the roomWhy empowering teams with genuine autonomy inside defined guardrails is the only leadership model that scales across four restaurants and 125 peopleHow strategy and psychology replaced technique as his primary tools when he made the shift from chef to CEOAndré Natera and Brian Lewis cover the identity shift required when a chef stops being the creative voice in the kitchen and starts leading other chefs to express theirs, the role of kindness as a non-negotiable management standard, navigating reviews and social media pressure across multiple concepts, and the research trip to Japan that preceded the launch of OKO. The episode closes with rapid fire kitchen gear, stocks and dashi minimalism, and the chef Mount Rushmore.GuestBrian Lewis on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/brianlewischef/Full House Hospitality on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/fullhousehg/Links Subscribe on Substack → https://chefspsa.substack.com/Shop Chef's PSA Merch → https://shop.chefspsa.com/Visit Chef's PSA Website → https://chefspsa.com/Lead Like a Chef App → https://studio.com/apps/andre/leadlikeachef

Always An Expat with Richard Taylor

More Americans are leaving the United States than at any point in recent memory, and Portugal has become one of the most searched destinations. But what's driving the move, and what happens once you get there?   Richard Taylor is joined by John McNertney, Founder of Green Ocean Global Advisors, to unpack the realities of relocating from the US to Portugal. John has lived the journey himself. After moving from San Francisco to Lisbon during the pandemic, he now helps American expats, retirees, and internationally minded families navigate cross-border financial planning, US expat taxes, residency options, and long-term wealth management while living abroad.   Together, Richard and John explore why Portugal has become such a hotspot for Americans, what's changed politically and financially in recent years, and why so many expats are now thinking seriously about building a life and a financial foundation outside the United States.   The conversation gets into the practical detail that most people miss before they move: the difference between the Portugal Golden Visa and the D7 visa, the financial traps Americans fall into with PFICs, trusts, IRAs, and cross-border investment structures, and why proper planning before the move can save years of stress and significant money later on.   Richard and John also explore the emotional reality of expat life, including integration, language learning, culture shock, and why living abroad fundamentally changes the way people think about money, opportunity, and freedom.   Whether you're seriously considering a move to Portugal, researching second residency options, or simply curious why so many Americans are looking overseas right now, this episode offers a grounded and honest look at the opportunities and challenges of modern expat life. --  Expat Wealth is supported by Plan First Wealth.

In this fascinating episode of the Optimal Protein Podcast, Vanessa Spina is joined by Dr. Fernando Naclerio, Professor in Strength Training and Sports Nutrition at the University of Greenwich and Centre Lead for the Centre for Exercise Activity and Rehabilitation. Vanessa and Dr. Naclerio dive into a brand new meta-analysis comparing higher-carb and lower-carb diets when calories and protein are matched. While both approaches improved body composition, the low-carb diets produced greater reductions in fat mass, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and triglycerides, along with increases in HDL. This conversation explores why not all weight loss is fat loss — and why consuming too many carbohydrates during a calorie deficit may, in certain conditions, shift the body toward burning more lean mass instead of body fat. They also discuss how to structure protein, carbohydrates, and fats for better body composition, why carbohydrate tolerance depends on activity level, the importance of resistance training, keto adaptation, meal timing, fasting, protein distribution, and why protecting muscle should be the priority during fat loss.

In this episode of the HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed sits down with Dorothy Cascerceri Simone, host and executive producer of That Greenwich Life, for a candid conversation about the evolution of media, storytelling, and authenticity. Dorothy shares her fascinating journey from newspaper reporter and celebrity gossip journalist to podcast host and community voice. From interviewing celebrities on red carpets during the height of magazine culture to building a podcast focused on vulnerability and real-life struggles, Dorothy reflects on how both media and her personal mission have transformed over the years. The conversation explores how traditional media evolved during the rise of digital publishing and social media, how Dorothy pivoted ahead of major industry changes, and why she intentionally created a platform that rejects superficial gossip in favor of deeper human connection. Key Points Dorothy began her career in traditional journalism, balancing newspaper reporting with celebrity coverage for outlets like People Magazine during the early days of online media. She witnessed firsthand the decline of print publications and recognized early that video, digital storytelling, and influencer-style marketing would become the future of media. Dorothy created That Greenwich Life as an “anti-gossip” platform focused on honest conversations about fertility struggles, personal hardships, mental health, and the realities behind polished appearances. Her background in celebrity reporting gave her valuable insight into how media shapes perception, but she ultimately wanted to create content rooted in empathy and humanity instead of sensationalism. Through social media and her podcast, Dorothy has unexpectedly become a trusted community voice in Greenwich, sharing important local information while fostering thoughtful conversations and connection. This episode is both a nostalgic look at the ever-evolving media landscape and an inspiring conversation about personal reinvention. Dorothy's journey reflects how storytelling has evolved from glossy headlines and celebrity culture into something more authentic and human-centered. What stands out most is Dorothy's commitment to using her platform for connection rather than spectacle. Through That Greenwich Life, she's proving that audiences are hungry for honesty, vulnerability, and conversations that go deeper than appearances.

...in which we return to 19th-century Maryport in the company of author Simon Francis Brown to explore the world of regional shipbuilding through the exquisite illustrated journals of master shipbuilder Kelsick Wood. Starting our walk at the Shipping Brow Gallery overlooking the River Ellen, we set the historic context for Kelsick's arrival in Maryport in around 1818 – Britain as a maritime superpower, the age of empire, the political endgame of slavery – and paint a picture of the town's bustling harbour, its numerous taverns, the lavish dinners held for Lord Senhouse, the squalor of many residents. Battling weather on the harbour wall, we introduce Kelsick Wood, the Workington-born shipbuilder who travelled the world before acquiring the family yard at Maryport and starting the illustrated journals (excerpts below) that Simon discovered in a Greenwich archive. Sheltering from the gale in a harbourside ginnel, we discuss the business of shipbuilding: the crafts required to bring together a finished brig; the unforgiving economics of timber imports; the impact of Cumbrian weather on operations; and the insurance stranglehold held for a time by London shipbuilders. Retiring to the Golden Lion – where Kelsick spent many of his working hours entertaining potential customers and networking with the Maryport elite – we learn about the politically progressive family man who grieved the loss of a wife and six children, before winding down the podcast considering the numerous pressures which built on domestic shipbuilders – from overseas competition to the introduction of iron hulls – signalling the end of the age of sail. The Vanishing Age of Sail can be bought from Bookends in Carlisle and Keswick, and other local bookshops. It is also available from Amazon and Waterstones.

Today's episode takes us out of the white cube and into the open air. My guest is Sarah Carrington, Director of The Line, the public art trail connecting Greenwich to Stratford along the waterways of East London. If you've ever stumbled across an unexpected sculpture beside a canal, or discovered art while simply walking through the city, then you already understand the quiet magic of what The Line does. With more than two decades working across curating, public art and cultural strategy, Sarah has helped shape an organisation dedicated to bringing art into people's everyday lives. In this conversation, we explore what it really takes to bring ambitious public artworks into being, how commissions evolve over years, and how artists can begin building relationships with organisations like The Line. If you're curious about working in the public realm or simply love the idea of discovering art as you move through the city, this episode offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes. And Sarah and I are also inviting you to meet us in person. On Monday 13 July 2026, we'll be hosting a special Membership event at Cody Dock, where Sarah will introduce the thinking behind The Line, share insights into commissioning public art, and highlight key works along the route before we walk together through the sculptures. If that sounds like your kind of day, please do click the link in the show notes to join the Membership or visit cerihand.com to join us. For now, settle in and enjoy this conversation with Sarah Carrington. KEY TAKEAWAYS When art lives in the places we walk every day, like The Line does, it stops being somewhere we “go” and becomes something we live alongside. The work comes alive on the viewers terms. The best public artworks don't just decorate a place. They provoke questions. They connect people. They create moments where strangers stop, look, and talk to one another. Public art is a long game: you build relationships, stay with it, and you don't treat the first “no” as the final word - you innovate and adapt. BEST MOMENTS “When they come to The Line, they connect with one another, and they connect with themselves in a new way.” “That great public art doesn't appear overnight. Behind every sculpture or installation, you encounter in the landscape are years of thinking, research, partnerships, and conversations.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://the-line.org HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a critical early bellwether for the logistics sector as GXO Logistics posts double-digit revenue growth in the first quarter, easily topping Wall Street expectations. The Greenwich-based contract logistics giant reported revenue of three point three billion dollars, up nearly eleven percent year over year, while swinging back to profitability with five million dollars in net income compared to a ninety-five million dollar loss a year earlier. CEO Patrick Kelleher highlighted record commercial pipeline momentum and the company's aggressive push into AI, automation and robotics to drive efficiency across strategic growth sectors. Next, we head to the mid-Atlantic port sector where Tradepoint Atlantic and MSC break ground on a massive Baltimore container terminal that developers hope will fundamentally reshape intermodal shipping in the region. The partners plan to invest one point two billion dollars to build the one hundred sixty-eight-acre Sparrows Point Container Terminal on the site of a former Bethlehem Steel mill, creating annual capacity of more than one million containers with berthing for two ultra-large vessels and seven ship-to-shore cranes. The terminal's first berth is scheduled for completion by two thousand twenty-eight, with full build-out targeted for two thousand thirty. Finally, we explore the geopolitical battle brewing over strategic canal infrastructure as Panama's bidding process for seized container terminals appears stacked against U.S. companies, according to a source familiar with the matter. After Panama's Supreme Court invalidated Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison's concessions to run terminals at Balboa and Cristobal—key transshipment hubs connecting Asia-Americas trade routes—the government seized control and assigned temporary operating rights to APM Terminals while preparing a new concessions process. Despite President Trump's stated intentions for significant U.S. presence at the canal, American companies like SSA Marine and Ports America are not expected to score well under Panama's evaluation criteria.

Waterford Homes: What Today's Luxury Homebuyers Want in Metro Atlanta

Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio

Play Episode Listen Later May 6, 2026 19:54


Luxury homebuyers in metro Atlanta are shifting their priorities. Square footage and prestige addresses are no longer the primary drivers. Instead, buyers are focusing on livability, location and long-term functionality. Drew Clough, chief operating officer of Waterford Homes, joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss why that shift is reshaping the high-end custom home market and how Waterford Homes is differentiating through communication, consistency and disciplined project management in today's competitive luxury homebuilding environment.  Elevated Luxury Defined by Process, Not Just Product  Waterford Homes has established itself in Atlanta's luxury custom home market by prioritizing the systems behind a successful build rather than relying on a signature architectural style. The builder's competitive advantage comes from consistency, communication and disciplined execution at every stage of construction.  Buyers are not only evaluating finishes and floor plans; they are also evaluating how a builder manages the full construction experience, including timelines, trade partners and expectations throughout the process. Those relationships also play a central role in how the company maintains quality and accountability across multiple high-end custom homes at once.  High-Demand Atlanta Neighborhoods  Waterford Homes continues to work across some of Atlanta's most established luxury submarkets, where demand is shaped as much by lifestyle priorities as by location alone. Each neighborhood attracts a different type of luxury buyer, but all share one common thread: limited supply in highly desirable settings.  Chastain Park remains one of Atlanta's most consistently sought-after neighborhoods. Its combination of park access, larger lot sizes and convenient proximity to Buckhead and the airport drives long-term demand. Buyers continue to prioritize the balance between in-town convenience and residential privacy, keeping the area competitive even amid shifting market conditions.  Milton offers a very different version of luxury living. Instead of intown walkability, it emphasizes scale, privacy and estate-style properties with strong suburban infrastructure. Clough compares the area's feel to Greenwich, Connecticut, noting its large estates, equestrian influence and established suburban amenities that appeal to buyers seeking space without sacrificing access to Alpharetta and surrounding commercial centers.  Virginia-Highland continues to attract buyers who prioritize character and walkability over lot size. The neighborhood blends historic homes with newer luxury infill projects, creating a unique mix of architectural styles near Piedmont Park, Midtown and the Atlanta Beltline. This combination of charm and urban access keeps demand steady, particularly among buyers who want a more connected, in-town lifestyle.  Rosemary: A Boutique Community Designed Around Lifestyle  One of Waterford Homes' most anticipated projects is Rosemary, a nine-home enclave in Milton near downtown Crabapple and Alpharetta.  Clough said, “Rosemary is going to be the most incredible community that we've ever developed.”  The neighborhood will feature one-acre-plus homesites and high-end custom residences designed for modern luxury living, including four-car garages, main-level primary suites and expansive outdoor spaces.  But beyond design, the area has something increasingly rare in suburban Atlanta: walkability.  Clough said, “You're literally right there where you can walk downtown and find lots of restaurants and things to do [in Crabapple].”  Build-on-Your-Lot Growth & the Importance of Starting With the Right Team   Build-on-your-lot construction continues to gain traction across metro Atlanta, especially in teardown-heavy intown neighborhoods and high-demand suburban areas. As available land becomes more limited in established luxury markets, more homeowners are choosing to purchase existing lots and design custom homes around them.  That trend is also exposing a common misstep in the early stages of the process. Clough notes that many homeowners begin with architectural design before fully understanding what their site can realistically support.  Clough said, “They should consult with a custom home builder first, not an architect.”  That sequencing matters because site-specific factors often shape what is possible long before design details come into play. Lot conditions, grading, tree preservation requirements, setbacks and municipal permitting rules can all significantly influence both design feasibility and overall budget.  What Defines Luxury at the $3 Million Price Point Today  At the $3 million price point and above, luxury homebuyers in metro Atlanta are prioritizing how a home functions in daily life just as much as how it looks on day one.   Builders are responding by investing in both visible and structural elements of the home. High-end finishes, custom cabinetry and detailed millwork remain important, but buyers are also placing greater value on what happens behind the walls. That includes insulation, soundproofing, upgraded framing and other structural enhancements that improve comfort and long-term performance.   Outdoor living continues to play a central role in luxury design, especially as homeowners increasingly use their properties as full-time retreats rather than occasional residences. Covered living areas, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and integrated pools now function as extensions of the interior space rather than secondary amenities.  Clough also highlights a growing demand for flexibility in home design, particularly as more buyers plan for multigenerational living or long-term household adaptability.  A More Selective Luxury Buyer  As inventory in prime locations tightens, the distinction between a strong site and a compromised one has become more pronounced in buyer decision-making.  Clough said, “I've seen some incredible homes on B-minus lots having difficulty selling.”  By contrast, homes on well-located, premium lots continue to outperform the broader market. These properties often generate stronger interest early in the listing process and, in many cases, attract multiple offers when priced appropriately.  Clough said, “My goal is for us to be the top luxury homebuilding company in Atlanta.”  By focusing on communication, consistency and disciplined execution, Waterford Homes treats luxury homebuilding as both a technical process and a client experience. In Atlanta's evolving luxury market, that process-driven approach continues to shape how buyers evaluate both builders and communities. To learn more about Waterford Homes, visit WaterfordHomes.com.  About Waterford Homes  Waterford Homes is an Atlanta-based luxury custom home builder with more than 34 years of experience designing and building high-end residences across metro Atlanta and Lake Oconee. Since 1991, the company has built a reputation for combining timeless architecture, premium materials and white-glove service with a process-driven approach to construction. Known for its disciplined project management, transparent execution and long-standing trade relationships, Waterford Homes focuses on delivering luxury homes that balance craftsmanship, livability and long-term performance.  Podcast Thanks       Thank you to Denim Marketing for sponsoring Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio.

The autonomous tractor hauled commercial freight 231 miles across Texas without a safety driver, remote operator, or in-cab observer, achieving a remarkably low cost per mile of just $1.89 compared to the industry average of $2.26. Bot Auto operates as a trucking carrier using its Transportation as a Service model with a fleet of 12 tractors and owned and leased trailers. Next, we explore the less-than-truckload sector where XPO is absolutely crushing Wall Street expectations and aggressively winning profitable market share with first-quarter earnings that beat consensus by 13 cents. The Greenwich, Connecticut-based logistics giant reported consolidated revenue of $2.1 billion, up 7% year over year and significantly ahead of analyst forecasts. XPO's LTL unit posted an impressive 83.9% adjusted operating ratio, defying normal seasonal deterioration patterns and improving 200 basis points year over year. Finally, we cover the regulatory battle over the proposed transcontinental rail mega-merger as Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern submitted an amended merger application to the Surface Transportation Board after their initial filing was rejected as incomplete in January. The revised application now projects the combined railroad will shift 2.1 million truckloads annually from highway to rail, saving shippers an estimated $3.5 billion per year, and will require 1,200 net new union jobs by the third year of the merger.

Join us as the New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice has a conversation with nationally bestselling and award-winning author Deborah Goodrich Royce about her new book, Best Boy. Author Bio: Deborah Goodrich Royce's Reef Road, a national bestseller, was named one of the best books of 2023 by Kirkus Reviews and an Indie Next pick by the ABA. Her Ocean House Author Series—in partnership with Martin House Books and WCRI—brings world-class authors like Sarah Ferguson, Chris Bohjalian, and Katie Couric to Watch Hill. With fellow authors, Luanne Rice and Amy Scheibe, she created the Deer Mountain Writers' Retreat in the Catskills. Deborah writes the quarterly Hey Rhody reading recommendation column. She began as an actress on All My Children and in multiple films, before transitioning to the role of story editor at Miramax Films, developing Emma and early versions of Chicago and A Wrinkle in Time. Deborah holds a bachelor's degree and two honorary doctorates, from both Lake Erie College and the University of Rhode Island. With her husband, Chuck, Deborah restored the Avon Theatre, Ocean House Hotel, Deer Mountain Inn, United Theatre, Martin House Books, and numerous Main Street revitalization projects in Rhode Island and the Catskills. She serves on multiple governing and advisory boards.  Book Summary: A gripping psychological thriller, Best Boy teeters on the knife-edge of memory and identity when the arrival of a shocking letter threatens the carefully constructed life of a woman desperate to outrun her past. Viveca Stevenson has it all: a handsome and successful husband, an adorable ten-year-old son, and a coastal dream house in Greenwich, Connecticut. She has a solid group of girlfriends and is content with the afterglow of the film career she's left behind. But when a threatening letter arrives—from a man she does not remember—it cracks open a part of her past she thought was buried for good. A terrifying chain of events is set in motion, forcing Viveca to confront what happened on a shattering Halloween night in high school when she had a different name, a different face, a different voice. Who is the man contacting her now and was he really the best boy on her most famous film, Misty? Why can't she remember him—or that night? A taut psychological thriller, Best Boy explores identity, memory, and the dangerous power of forgetting.   For more information about Deborah Goodrich Royce and her new release, Best Boy, along with information about the Ocean House Author Series, visit deborahgoodrichroyce.com

This week on Magnolia Street, we step into the electric, untamed world of 1960s Greenwich Village.Inspired by Alice Hoffman's playlist for The Rules of Magic, we explore how music became a portal into identity, power, and transformation; from Bob Dylan's protest anthems to Jimi Hendrix's psychedelic fire and Nina Simone's spellbinding voice.We wander through Washington Square Park and descend into the Village's shadowy nightlife! From the Red Witch to the Zodiac Club in Bell, Book and Candle, we explore how these spaces invited freedom, danger, and transformation. We unpack what inspired Vincent's introduction into the Owens story, trace the cultural shifts of the era, including the Stonewall riots and the rise of LGBTQ+ movements and follow the lingering ghosts of New York City.We stop at 44 Greenwich Avenue, the aunts' magick shop and the real-life office of Alice's beloved agent, the late Elaine Markson, exploring its history and Hoffman's tribute to her. We also dive into 1960s witchcraft culture; from Leo Martello to Spiritualist gatherings at the The Ansonia, and examine how media shaped the modern witch, drawing parallels between Bell, Book and Candle's Gillian Holroyd and Practical Magic's Gillian Owens.And in a more personal turn, Justina takes us through the Village venues mentioned in the book, sharing glimpses of her own early music career as a young troubadour navigating the Greenwich Village songwriter circuit, blurring the line between past and present, fiction and lived experience.Because in The Village, magic isn't always spells and potions…sometimes it's following the ghosts of Greenwich back through time to find the songs where they began.SOCIALS:⁠⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SourcesDISCLAIMER:The Magnolia Street Podcast is for entertainment and informational purposes and should not be used as a substitute for professional or medical advice.

After a bullish start to the year, we're unpacking what actually matters for long-term investors. While rising oil prices, renewed inflation fears, geopolitical instability, and growing pressure in private credit have all changed the tone of 2026 far faster than most investors expected, markets have been forced to reckon with a very different reality.  Richard Taylor, dual UK/US citizen and Chartered Financial Planner, and Brian Dunhill, founder of Dunhill Financial , look back on a chaotic first quarter of 2026 and  make the case for staying invested, resisting panic, and remembering that the biggest long-term investing mistakes are usually driven by fear or greed. They discuss why inflation, not just stock market volatility, remains the bigger concern, how higher energy prices can ripple through the entire economy, and why moments of market stress often create valuable tax planning opportunities.  They also explore the renewed case for commodities and value stocks, the risks building inside private credit and alternative investments, and why opening retirement accounts to illiquid assets could create serious problems for everyday investors.  In this episode of Expat Wealth, Richard and Brian discuss:  Why Q1 shifted so quickly from optimism to concern, and what that tells investors about market sentiment and economic surprises.  How oil prices, commodity moves, and inflation fears are shaping portfolio positioning more than stock market headlines alone.  Why tax loss harvesting can be one of the most valuable strategies during volatile periods, especially for long-term investors.  What recent stress in private credit and alternatives could mean, and why these investments may be unsuitable for many retail and retirement portfolios.  Why trying to time the market often backfires, and why staying disciplined through uncertainty has historically been the better path.   --    Expat Wealth is supported by Plan First Wealth.
