Every schoolchild in the English-speaking world learns William the Conqueror's name. What most of them never hear is that William spent his final years bitter about another Norman knight — a man his own contemporaries considered the more accomplished conqueror of their generation.His name was Robert Guiscard. He was born to a minor noble family in Normandy with too many sons and too little land. He arrived in Southern Italy as a bandit stealing horses in Calabria. Twenty years later he was Duke of Apulia, had defeated the Byzantine Emperor in battle, and was planning to march on Constantinople itself. When William landed at Hastings in 1066, Guiscard had already been ruling more Italian territory for seven years than William would ever hold in England.And Guiscard wasn't alone. He was one of twelve brothers. Between them, the sons of a minor Norman lord named Tancred de Hauteville built the Kingdom of Sicily — a multicultural state employing Muslim scholars, Byzantine bureaucrats, and Latin monks in the same government. From Robert Guiscard's ducal title in 1059 to Napoleon's dissolution of the kingdom in 1816, that political architecture ran for 725 years.Today I'm joined by Memory Medieval to walk through the Norman conquest history didn't teach you.Follow Memory Medieval on X: @MemoryMedieval Substack: memorymedieval.substack.com Feigned Flight publication: feignedflight.com════════════════════════════
This week I sit down with Marian Hastings who shares the loss of her husband James to cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer).Marian speaks openly about the devastating reality of a diagnosis with so few treatment options, the fight they faced together, and the heartbreak of knowing there was very little hope. She reflects on the love they shared, the challenges of caring for someone through terminal illness, and the incredible compassion and support they received from hospice care.This is a deeply moving conversation about love, courage, anticipatory grief, and the comfort that compassionate care can bring during life's hardest moments.

Source BMX is the world's largest BMX store. It was started over 20 years ago by Marc & Rich Moore. This is their first and only podcast so far.Recently the news was released that the parent company Wheels Of Steel that Marc & Rich own would be merging with Ronnie Bonner's parent company Sparky's. This is covered in depth as well as the 2023 restructuring that occurred. Through speaking with these two, it is very easy to see that Marc & Rich are BMX through and through. These guys started a shop over 20 years ago with $5,000 and have continued to reinvest over time to eventually become the world's largest BMX store. On top of having this store, they also have an indoor skatepark in Hastings where they run an absolutely massive BMX event annually called The Battle Of Hastings. There is so much to say about everything these two do in BMX so I will let them tell it all in this podcast.Thank you for choosing to spend your time watching one of my videos!

Every gardener has a tchotchke threshold — the point at which a garden stops being a garden and starts being a yard sale with better plants. But where exactly is that line, and who gets to draw it? After decades of embracing, avoiding, judging, and occasionally defending their own questionable choices, Leslie and Marianne weigh in on the art of garden ornamentation — how to use it well, when to put the hedgehog down, and why Fergus Garrett's favorite garden in Hastings has hardly any plants in it at all.Toads or total chaos?

As we wrap up Season 8 of the podcast, we take time to catch up with prolific chemist-theologian-pastor-writer and much-loved Regent professor, Dr. Ross Hastings. Ross's new book, God and Molecules: Chemical Evolution and Divine Providence, explores how God has been working purposefully in his creation all the way back to the first molecules. This is a conversation that stretches the limits of knowledge in the two disciplines Ross is integrating, inviting intellectual humility. Claire and Rachel sought to model this by asking many non-specialist clarifying questions! Even if you are not a scientist, we invite you to listen and learn from the insights chemistry can bring to our understanding of God, his divine agency in the world, and his relationship to creation. As Ross says, these insights inspire our awe and worship, reminding us that our God is too small and our God isn't small enough. See you in September!Ross's BioDr. Ross Hastings, a Zimbabwean Scot, holds PhDs in organometallic chemistry and theology. He currently serves as the Sangwoo Youtong Chee Professor of Theology at Regent College, where he teaches systematic and pastoral theology. Ross's most recent books are Pastoral Ethics: Moral Formation as Life in the Trinity, 2nd ed. (Cascade, 2025) and The Glory of the Ascension (IVP Academic, 2026).More from RossWade Even Deeper (Regent Convocation Address 2026)The Son Went Up . . . and the Spirit Came Down: Lessons from the Ascent of the Son and the Descent of the Holy Spirit (Regent Vine Article, May 2026)Sport: Idolatry or the Image of God … or Both?

Cleaning houses. Overnight hospital shifts. A salon she built from scratch. And at 36 years old, a leap into pastry school that changed everything. Vera Gjelaj's path to owning Arome Caffè & Patisserie in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY wasn't a straight line — it was a series of reinventions, each one built on the one before it. In this episode of Bucket List Careers, Vera shares how she went from arriving in America at 19 with two young children, to Executive Pastry Chef and partner at one of NYC's most iconic restaurants, to opening her own bakery at 51. She talks candidly about the obstacles along the way, and offers advice for anyone considering a late-in-life career change: don't put a limit on your dreams, and it's never too late to build the life you want. Key Takeaways: • Career pivots don't follow a straight line — and that's okay • Believing in yourself matters more than having it all figured out • It's never too late to start over or chase a new dream • Hard work and perseverance compound over time About Vera: Vera Gjelaj is the owner and founder of Arome Caffè & Patisserie in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. An Albanian immigrant, Vera came to the United States at 19 with two young children. She later attended the French Culinary Institute and became Executive Pastry Chef and partner at One if by Land, Two if by Sea.

After a brief discussion of Ottawa's Canada Day fireworks—followed by the importance of Kool-Aid in Hastings, Nebraska—ASDC Chair and DNC Vice Chair Jane Kleeb tackles how to address anger directed at Democrats and the DNC. She explores what must change as we head into the midterms to hopefully regain the reins of government, and highlights a unique point of resistance that is uniting Americans: data centers.She also discusses how the DNC is preparing for possible interference by creating election protection plans, explains how grassroots organizations like Indivisible, No Kings, the Black Power War Room, and Swing Left operate like "after-school care," and invites listeners to review their strategy.View the DNC Playbook: https://democrats.org/the-dnc-playbook/Listen to the full audio library of Blue Vote Café episodes: http://bluevotecafe.comRegister and request your ballot every year: https://www.votefromabroad.org/
In Hastings, Nebraska, the Kool-Aid man is a bit of a local legend. Not the anthropomorphic glass pitcher with a face who yells “Oh yeah” (though he's part of the story too) but the original Kool-Aid man, Edwin Perkins, who invented the drink almost 100 years ago right here in Hastings. This episode was produced in partnership with Visit Nebraska. Learn more about the Hastings Museum Kool-Aid exhibit here, and more here about the Kool-Aid Days festival which will take place this year August 14-16.

Want to scale your health practice and get your life back? Work with me 1-on-1 in our private advisory and mastermind - https://go.healthpreneurtraining.com/hp-mastery?el=yt-july5Most health practice owners eventually hit the same wall. The business is growing, revenue is up, and patients or clients are getting results, but too much still depends on you. The next level isn't about doing more. It's about building something bigger than yourself. A business that scales without relying on you for everything.That's why we created Healthpreneur Mastery.Mastery is the private advisory board and mastermind for leading health professionals doing at least $500,000 per year who want to build a business that creates greater profit, freedom, and impact.This isn't for beginners.It's for practitioners, practice owners, and health entrepreneurs who know they're capable of building something much bigger and don't want to figure it all out alone.Learn more about Healthpreneur Mastery here: https://go.healthpreneurtraining.com/hp-mastery?el=july5If the first question you ask before making a business investment is what is the ROI, you are already thinking too small. The greatest business leaders in the world, from Bezos to Steve Jobs, never led with that question.In this Episode I am sharing six reframes that will help you make bigger, better decisions the same way they do.Most practitioners and business owners default to ROI thinking because it feels safe and logical. But ROI measures what you can already predict, and the biggest opportunities in business are always the ones you cannot see yet. I walk through real examples from Amazon Prime, Netflix original content, and Apple Stores, plus a personal story of how an $18,000 mastermind investment led to a New York Times bestseller, a multi-million dollar book deal, and business outcomes that could never have been forecasted in advance. The six reframes I share in this video cover how to think about upside versus downside, the real cost of inaction, how to evaluate whether an investment builds an asset or increases your capabilities, and why almost every business decision you will ever make is completely reversible. If you are a health practitioner or coaching business owner who wants to think and make decisions like a leader instead of playing it safe, this is the video that changes your framework.

Award-winning novelist and founder of The Novelry Louise Dean on what separates storytelling from beautiful prose, planning a novel without killing the joy, and how to edit your own first draft. You'll learn Why learning to craft perfect sentences can quietly delay your path to publication. How a single shift from style to storytelling turns a promising writer into a published one. What treating each chapter like a short story does to the terror of a blank novel. The reason every novel is a moral journey (and why you have to throw rocks at your hero). A one-page planning method that steers a draft without smothering the joy of writing it. The one question every writer should be able to answer about their reader. Why your main character should never be a thinly veiled version of yourself. When you can't afford an editor, how to run a developmental edit on your own work. What to do in the month after finishing a first draft A five-part structure built for the long moral journey of a novel, and why three acts fall short. Resources & Links
In our most recent episode of The Brian D. O'Leary Show, we get to the core of how we build and scale businesses. I sat down with my friend Hunter Hastings, a prolific author, economist, venture capitalist, and passionate entrepreneur. We dissected his new book, Venture Mode: Escape the Administration Trap by Finding and Unleashing Entrepreneurial Leaders (co-authored with Mark Packard, published by Amplify Publishing, May 5, 2025), to explore the dangerous traps of corporate growth and how to revive the entrepreneurial spirit. Episode Chapters & Highlights The Administration Trap: Defining the machinery of corporate control, the pressures of financial markets, and how administrative bloat kills productivity. Founder Mode & Brian Chesky: How the Airbnb founder cut through suffocating management layers to get back "in the details" with his customers. The Origins of the MBA: Tracing the roots of administrative sclerosis back to mid-20th-century logical positivism and Frederick Taylor's scientific management. Entrepreneurial Economics: A fresh look at Austrian economics, focusing on customer sovereignty, entrepreneurship, and experimental action over top-down strategy. The Atom of Value: Why the single interaction between a customer and a service provider is the true foundation of scale (with a nod to Netflix's Reed Hastings). AI and One-Person Corporations (OPCs): How AI is allowing entrepreneurs to bypass the administration trap entirely, creating a new era of solo scalability. The Masters of Business Enterprise: Replacing the outdated university MBA with principle-based learning and experiential corporate apprenticeships. The Enablement Economy & Optimism Through Unease: Why being unhappy with the current situation (short-term pessimism) is the fundamental driver of innovation and a better future. Here are the key takeaways from our conversation. The Administration Trap As businesses scale and achieve success, they often fall into what Hunter calls “administration mode.” Instead of prioritizing the innovation that initially drove their growth, companies become obsessed with the machinery of corporate control. This obsession manifests as: An intense focus on controlling future uncertainty. Pressure to deliver smooth quarterly earnings and meet financial market expectations. The addition of suffocating management layers, installed processes, and rigid annual planning cycles. The cost of this control is staggering. Hunter notes that we may have lost 50% of the US economy's potential for productivity growth due to this administrative crisis. It stifles innovation and removes humanity from business, tracing its roots back to mid-20th-century logical positivism, where the “scientific method” and pure measurement began to overshadow human creativity. Breaking Free: Shifting to Venture Mode To escape this trap, Hunter advocates for “venture mode.” A prime example of this philosophy in action is Brian Chesky, founder of Airbnb. As his company grew, Chesky realized that administrative layers were blinding him to the actual customer experience. His solution was to cut through the bureaucracy to get back “in the details,” speaking directly with hosts and consumers to figure out what was working in the market. You don't have to be a founder to apply this. Anyone in an organization can champion this mindset by removing barriers and prioritizing free-thinking experimentation over rigid systems. Entrepreneurial Economics: The “Atom of Value” Much of our conversation centered around Austrian economics, which Hunter masterfully reframes for the modern business leader. We broke down three practical principles: Customer Sovereignty: The customer is the boss. The business cycle doesn't start with production; it starts with sensing the customer's need. Entrepreneurship: This is the act of taking that sensed need, turning it into a novel idea, and bringing it back to the market. Action Over Strategy: True entrepreneurship relies on experimental action rather than relying on a top-down, predictive strategy. This approach zeroes in on what Hunter calls the “atom of value,” the single critical interaction between one customer and one service provider. By perfecting that single interaction, you can scale the entire system. Replacing the MBA and Embracing AI We also tackled the archaic nature of the traditional MBA, something that often breeds the very administrative mindset we need to avoid. Hunter envisions a “Masters of Business Enterprise,” splitting education into two distinct paths: learning scalable principles of value creation outside of traditional universities, and engaging in experiential, active learning within actual corporations. Looking to the future, we discussed the role of Artificial Intelligence in completely bypassing the administration trap. We are seeing the rise of AI-enabled, “One-Person Corporations” (OPCs). By leveraging AI for administrative tasks and tapping into broader industrial ecosystems, individuals can scale incredibly fast without ever installing bloated management structures. Optimism Through Unease I often call myself a short-term pessimist and a long-term optimist. Hunter pointed out that this perfectly aligns with the Austrian economic principle of “unease.” According to Ludwig von Mises, being unhappy with the current situation is the fundamental driver of innovation. It is our unease with administrative bloat that will propel us toward a highly adaptable, highly entrepreneurial future.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Start with my free training: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____You have heard of art therapy and talk therapy. Charlotte Hastings does therapy in the kitchen, and it opens people up in a way the usual chair never quite does.Charlotte Hastings is a psychodynamic therapist, founder of Kitchen Therapy, and author of Kitchen Therapy: How to Become a Conscious Cook. Trained first as an anthropologist, she taught drama to neurodivergent teenagers before building an entire therapeutic approach around the kitchen.Charlotte recognized her own ADHD in her forties, after years of self-medicating and a chaotic childhood with an undiagnosed, alcoholic father. School had convinced her she was not smart. Anthropology, Jung, and eventually a wooden spoon proved otherwise. Now she uses cooking the way other therapists use art or drama: a side-by-side, low-pressure space where the real stuff surfaces.In this episode, Tracy and Charlotte talk about why cooking can work like art or drama therapy, why food and love are so entwined, how recipes can both support and shut down ADHD brains, and why the way you hold a wooden spoon might reveal the way you hold life. If cooking has ever felt loaded, boring, chaotic, or impossible, this conversation offers a gentler reframe: the meal is not just the result. The journey is the meal.ResourcesWebsite: https://therapykitchen.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/therapy.kitchenSend a Message: Your Name | Email | MessageADHD isn't a productivity problem.

In this solo reflection episode, she weaves together two very different vacation rental experiences, a hospitality revelation on a delayed Virgin Atlantic flight, and the core teaching from her conference session to land on a single, unifying idea: purpose comes before polish, and foundation comes before execution. The episode moves from a functional but story-free farm conversion cottage, to a 300-year-old Hastings cottage that felt like it had been created specifically for her friends, to a conference room full of STR operators at every stage of their AI journey. The thread connecting all of it: knowing who you are, who you serve, and what you stand for before you pick up a single tool - whether that tool is a £200 kettle, a booking platform, or an AI assistant. Heather also walks through the core framework from her "Building Your AI Business Brain" session, giving listeners a practical, actionable foundation they can start building this week. Key Takeaways A pilot who told his delayed passengers "I am the host of this flight and you are my guests" changed the atmosphere of an entire departure lounge with one sentence. Purpose, clearly stated, changes everything. The difference between the two cottages wasn't price or quality - it was whether the owner knew exactly who they were creating the experience for. One was built for a specific person; the other was built for anyone passing through. Before you touch a single AI tool, you need five foundational pieces in place: your vision, your mission and values, your business profile (including avatars, brand voice, and workflows). Without these, AI will produce generic output for a generic audience. The fastest way to capture your brand voice isn't to write it - it's to talk it through using voice-to-text. Most people think out loud more naturally than they write, and the result is closer to your real voice. At the Scale AI Summit, fewer than half the room had a documented client or owner avatar - which means their AI has no idea who it's writing for. If it's not documented, it doesn't exist as far as your AI is concerned. Strategy before execution, every time. Paul Anderson's RAF officer training insight maps directly to AI adoption: the operators who slow down to build a foundation first are the ones who get useful, consistent results. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What followed was a Holy Spirit-inspired vision, an outpouring of community support, and the creation of a new CSS Hastings campus designed to serve those in need across central Nebraska for decades to come. In this episode, John Soukup sits down with Hastings Regional Director Jon Kiehl to discuss the journey from challenge to renewal, the impact the new facility is already having on individuals and families in need, the remarkable ecumenical support behind the project, and the upcoming Building Blessing and Family Festival on June 20.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with lifelong entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author Hunter Hastings to dismantle the biggest sacred cow in modern business education: the MBA. If you've ever felt suffocated by endless corporate reporting, rigid five-year strategic plans, or red tape that stalls brilliant ideas, you are likely stuck in the "administration trap." Hastings, co-author of Venture Mode: Escape the Administration Trap by Finding and Unleashing Entrepreneurial Leaders, reveals how modern corporations and business schools have mistakenly turned potential trailblazers into process-focused bureaucrats. Drawing on radical principles of Austrian economics and hard-earned wisdom from Silicon Valley to Procter & Gamble, this conversation flips traditional corporate hierarchy on its head, advocating for a relentless obsession with the true boss of any business: the consumer.

0:00 - Jeff Legwold will be at Broncos OTAs today! What will he be looking for? Will he be laser-focused on Bo Nix's ankles? Davis Webb will address the media for the first time today as a play-caller on offense. Will he divulge any information about the distribution of power between him and Sean?14:57 - Sometimes, for the sake of standings/postseason seeding, you have to root for a team that isn't yours. BUT, if that team wins, it benefits YOUR team. It's such a weird rollercoaster of emotion. It's also a blast.After that, we still can't believe what we witnessed at Madison Square Garden last night. The New York Knickerbockers casually pulled off the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history with a gazillion celebrities in attendance. 32:34 - Yesterday, Altitude TV announced that they're not renewing the contracts of Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, and Chris Dempsey. None of them will be involved with the Nuggets TV broadcast next season. Hastings will continue to co-host PHD, and he'll occasionally join Koz in the radio booth during Nuggets broadcasts on our airwaves. That's the business of sports, both on the field and off the field. People get fired. Teams make changes. It sucks. It's tough and it's inevitable. If you're looking to enter the world of sports broadcasting, understand that everyone has been fired or will be fired.
0:00 - That was the GREATEST comeback in NBA history. Period. The NY Knickerbockers battled back from a 29-POINT DEFICIT and beat the Spurs to take a 3-1 series lead. Unbelievable. Thanks for playing, Spurs. This series is OVA. 16:05 - Yesterday, Altitude TV announced that they're not renewing the contracts of Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, and Chris Dempsey. None of them will be involved with the Nuggets TV broadcast next season. Hastings will continue to co-host PHD, and he'll occasionally join Koz in the radio booth during Nuggets broadcasts on our airwaves. Sports is an unforgiving, brutal, harsh business. Everyone will be fired at some point. It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when. No one is safe. 34:36 - The World Cup begins TAHNIGHT (say it in your best Berto voice). Vic claims to be the soccer/World Cup expert of the show. Let's spring some impromptu World Cup trivia on him and see how he does.
History tells us England was conquered at Hastings.That's the cover story.What happened on October 14, 1066 was a single afternoon of fighting that ended with Harold Godwinson dead in the dirt and William the Conqueror in possession of a battlefield. But conquest is not what happens on a battlefield. It's what happens in the 20 years afterward.In those 20 years, roughly 10,000 Normans replaced the ruling class of an entire kingdom of 2 million people. The old aristocracy. The old church hierarchy. The old landowners. All of them gone — not gradually over centuries, but in a single generation. By 1086, only 8% of England was still in Anglo-Saxon hands. The Domesday Book documented the new order in 800 pages and 2 million words, in a single year of administrative work that has no parallel in pre-industrial European history.This isn't conspiracy. It isn't ideology. It's architecture — and the architecture the Normans installed underneath the battle became the blueprint every successful conquering elite has read since.In this conversation with David Mainayar of the @Empire-Builders podcast:→ Anglo-Saxon England in 1065: the most centralized, monetized state in northwestern Europe — and why three rulers genuinely believed they had a claim to it→ The three weeks in September and October 1066 that contained the most jam-packed military sequence in medieval history — Stamford Bridge, the forced march south, then Hastings→ The Harrying of the North (1069-1070): William's near-genocidal three-month campaign that depopulated up to 75% of the region and ended Anglo-Saxon resistance→ The 500 castles built by the end of William's reign — and why the castle-and-knight system was the actual mechanism of the conquest→ The Domesday Book: William's 800-page survey of England, what it actually documented, and why it tells you everything about how the Normans understood power→ The biggest misconception about 1066, according to David: William the Conqueror wasn't actually the first Norman king of EnglandSubscribe to Hidden Forces in History for civilizational autopsies of the empires, institutions, and patterns shaping the world we live in now.*Support David:*https://x.com/EmpiresPodhttps://www.youtube.com/@Empire-Buildershttps://lex-books.com/CHAPTERS:00:00 The Conquest That Wasn't a Battle01:46 Welcome and Why 1066 Matters02:47 Anglo-Saxon England Before the Conquest05:06 The Three Claimants to the Throne13:36 Stamford Bridge and the Forced March South19:13 Hastings: Myth vs Reality24:42 William's Position at Nightfall27:06 The Real Conquest: The 20 Years After35:05 How 10,000 Normans Replaced 5,000 Landholders38:04 The Harrying of the North40:11 Castles, Knights, and the Norman System44:16 The Domesday Book47:44 The Norman Legacy: Stone, Language, Law50:17 Was 1066 a True Regime Change?54:38 The Biggest Misconception About 10661:02:41 Same Playbook, Different Century
