Welcome back, roadies! Todd and Jim are joined in the corner of Rick House in Frankfort, Kentucky by returning guest Drew Hannush of the Whiskey Lore podcast for his sixth appearance on the show. The crew had just come off a big night in Lawrenceburg attending the premiere of Bo Cumberland's documentary *Spirit of Lawrenceburg*, a film tracing the deep distilling heritage of Anderson County — and they brought a very special bottle back from the event to kick things off. Drew also shares details about his ongoing research into the early history of bourbon, including a new book project that he is releasing chapter by chapter on his podcast as he writes it, inviting listener feedback in real time. On the Tasting Mat: - WH McBrayer 250th Special Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: A limited release of only 1,776 bottles celebrating 250 years of the McBrayer legacy. Bottled at 105 proof from a blend of 11 barrels aged five to seven years, using the distinctive Bloody Butcher corn mash bill (88.4% Bloody Butcher corn, 5.8% Heritage Rye, 5.8% Malted Barley). The nose opens with stone fruits — pear and apple — alongside a well-aged grain character and a light mint note. The palate is full and lingering, leaning sweet upfront before drying out with oak, rye spice, and cinnamon on the finish. MSRP $100, available at select Northern Kentucky retailers and at Bourbon on the Bank. *(00:01:58)* - Hard Truth Double Oak Sweet Mash Bourbon: A limited release from Hard Truth Distilling Co. in Nashville, Indiana, bottled at 106.1 proof. Made from a mash bill of 73% corn, 19% rye, and 8% malted barley, this expression undergoes a secondary aging of over one year in a second custom-char new American oak barrel. Only 28 barrels were produced. The nose is relatively subdued with mild herbal notes, but the palate delivers a rich, concentrated punch of sweetness backed by dark fruits, graham cracker, toasted granola, and a bitter dark chocolate finish with hints of cola. The secondary barrel adds sweetness without overwhelming the whiskey with char or marshmallow notes. MSRP approximately $60. *(00:17:30)* - Bardstown Bourbon Company Victoria Pineapple Barrel Finish: A finished American whiskey blending 10- and 11-year-old straight bourbon and rye, aged 27 months in rum casks that previously held premium rum aged with prized Victoria Pineapple — with fresh pineapple also added directly to the barrel during finishing. Bottled at 106.1 proof and available only in Kentucky. MSRP $140 for a 750ml. The nose is immediately tropical and warming, with grilled pineapple and a gentle burn. The palate is lush and syrupy-sweet — not quite cloying — with a mouthfeel that lingers, layers of tropical fruit, and just enough rye spice and dark cherry emerging on subsequent sips. The panel agreed this pours like a cocktail in a glass, with strong potential as a highball or warm-weather sipper. *(00:30:00)* - Potter Jane Big Fat Liar Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: The first aged whiskey release from Potter Jane Distilling Company in Springfield, Kentucky, founded by industry veterans Denny Potter and Jane Bowie. The name playfully references their earlier vow never to source whiskey — a promise this bottle good-naturedly breaks. Aged six years, vatted for seven months in American and French oak casks, and bottled at 109.4 proof. Limited to approximately 1,200 bottles, released during Kentucky Bourbon Week. MSRP $49.99. The nose is light and classic, with vanilla, a touch of apple, and a hint of citrus. The palate is well-balanced and viscous, with a sweet sizzle on entry, apple cobbler, restrained dark chocolate, and a quiet coffee-bean note on the finish. Crushable and approachable at proof, with nothing out of place. *(00:33:26)* Four bottles, four personalities, one memorable evening in Kentucky bourbon country. Whether you caught the *Spirit of Lawrenceburg* premiere or are just tuning in for the whiskey, this episode covers the spectrum from heritage grain bourbons to tropical barrel experiments — all in a tight proof band that made for a genuinely competitive tasting mat.

Many people dream of hunting in the Alaska wilderness, and for most, it is the adventure of a lifetime. However, a few unlucky hunters never return from their adventure. As I've said many times, Alaska is big, rugged, and beautiful but also dangerous, from raging rivers to high seas to rugged mountains and ice fields marred by deep crevasses. Moose, bears, and wolves all present risks, and the extreme cold in the winter can cause frostbite or hypothermia in a matter of minutes.

The multifamily market is sitting on one of the largest apartment supply waves since the 1980s—but the story may be starting to change. In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse breaks down the current multifamily market and explains what the historic supply wave means for investors. He looks at Dallas-Fort Worth and Nashville, where elevated vacancy and concessions are beginning to give way to falling construction, a shrinking supply pipeline, and improving demand. Dan also explains how distress from 2021 and 2022 vintage deals, floating-rate bridge debt, and upcoming loan maturities could create opportunities for well-capitalized investors. As supply continues to taper and fundamentals are expected to strengthen into 2027, disciplined buyers may have an opportunity to acquire quality assets at significantly lower costs than they could during the peak of the cycle. If you want to understand where the multifamily market is today—and why the next 12 to 18 months could create a unique window for patient capital—this episode breaks it down.

Nashville SC's Leagues Cup future gets brutally mapped out, and the odds are not kind. But the bigger story is what this tournament is really revealing about Nashville's depth, their new attacking pieces, and whether a rotated lineup can still keep the momentum going against Monterrey and Miami. Stephen Robinson, Valair Shabilla, and guest Ben Wright break down the latest from a chaotic stretch for Nashville SC, including the emphatic 4-1 win over San Luis, the rotation-heavy loss to León, and the surprisingly low chance Nashville has of advancing in Leagues Cup. Along the way, they unpack the roster decisions, the return of key starters, and why this team suddenly looks far more dangerous when Cristian Espinoza is on the field. You'll discover: Why Espinoza changes Nashville's entire attack and elevates Sam Surridge How Saad is already fitting into the winger rotation and what his future could look like Why the Leagues Cup format still feels more like a preseason cash grab than a real tournament What Nashville must do to survive the standings math and keep their Leagues Cup hopes alive Why the upcoming Miami showdown feels like a true heavyweight matchup, even with both teams searching for consistency

So, for this episode we're handing the show over to a group of Nordstrom Personal Stylists that unapologetically embrace our “Owner-at-Heart” ethos. It should be said that the people you're about to meet are some of our very best sellers in the entire company. These conversations were recorded at our annual Platinum Pacesetters Dinner – which is an evening of fun and appreciation for our top-performing 1% of sellers company-wide. We pulled a few of them aside to chat one-on-one with each other, and discuss the secrets to their success. It's truly inspiring to hear the stories and motivations of these talented individuals who thrive on building meaningful and lasting relationships with customers all in their own way. First you'll hear from Kathy Brown and Adam McAllister, both personal stylists at our Bellevue store right outside of Seattle.

Alyssa Rosenheck was one of the only Jewish kids in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when a classmate stood up in class, pointed at her, and said, "The Jew took it." She pushed the girl down. Her dad's response: "My daughter has my permission to deck anyone who offends her family or faith."  That courage runs hrough everything that followed: a tennis scholarship, a decade in corporate medical sales, a thyroid cancer diagnosis that scared her into finally living, a camera she picked up to heal, and a divorce that hinged on one line from her husband she "can't unhear." After October 7th, Alyssa lost a book deal, got labeled part of a literary boycott, and co-founded Artists Against Antisemitism instead of going quiet. Her new book, White Blonde Jew, is what she wrote instead.   In this episode:   (02:00) Growing up one of the only Jews in Tulsa — and the classmate who pointed at her and said, "The Jew took it" (08:55) Chasing financial security after an unstable, alcoholic childhood — tennis scholarship to 3M to spine sales (11:15) The thyroid cancer scare that became her first real "life pivot" (13:33) Picking up a camera as therapy — and building a 14-year photography career from it (15:55) Her advice for anyone raised by an alcoholic parent (18:15) The marriage, and the line from her husband she "can't unhear": "He did not want to have Jewish children" (22:43) The New Southern — accidentally writing the most inclusive design book in the industry (24:45) Her 2021 "light bulb moment" on Israel, BDS, and October 7th (27:00) Losing a book deal 10 days into speaking out — and co-founding Artists Against Antisemitism (29:08) Fighting BDS resolutions in Nashville (31:26) Inside White Blonde Jew — out August 18 (40:15) The Kashariyot, and why being underestimated is a weapon  Quotes "I really allowed my haters to title the book. If it offends you, great, I wrote it for you. And if it doesn't, and you feel seen by it, I also wrote it for you." "Cancer gave me so much more than it took away." "When you get pushed down, you have to double down in the very thing that they don't want you to do." "It was a little bit like digital Ozempic." — on losing friends and followers after speaking out "My skin color would not have insulated me or protected me on October seventh, nor would it have protected me against the Nazis." "This project serves as historical insurance." "You can't create when you're stressed. You can't create when you're in chaos. You can't create when you're in fear." About the book: White Blonde Jew (BenBella Books / Geffen Books) releases August 18 — pre-order now. Three sections, White / Blonde / Jewish, each chapter closing with a book-club discussion prompt.

What does it really take to make your best record by embracing limitations and finding creativity in the constraints?My guest today is Jordie Lane, a Nashville-based Australian indie roots artist, songwriter, and producer. With a background that includes performing at the Sydney Opera House, composing for TV comedy, and touring with legends like Billy Bragg and Old Crow Medicine Show, Jordie brings a wealth of unconventional recording experience.In this episode, Jordie shares his journey from childhood in a traveling circus to making records with makeshift gear in unconventional spaces. We discuss how embracing limitations - like working with a four-track recorder or in a space with no running water - can ignite creativity and result in unique sounds. Jordie explains his approach to building songs from the ground up, layering found objects and effects, and how physical space influences his process. We also touch on the importance of unplugging from over-processing, the power of spontaneous performances, and the role of letting accidents lead to new ideas. His stories highlight that sometimes, less gear and more vulnerability lead to the most genuine recordings.Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.comTHANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.comhttps://usa.sae.edu/ The next program starts September 8, 2026 – don't wait!https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.spectra1964.comhttps://gracedesign.com/https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academyhttps://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/Listen to the podcast theme song “Skadoosh!” https://solo.to/lijshawmusicListen to this guest's discography on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6MoEdYlleayslE6QAzEpQ2?si=V3F1rZFiQbWPoM6gaDrsGwIf you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/ReviewCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRockstars.com/570

America's biggest banks are opening more local branches. Our Head of U.S. Large Cap and Mid Cap Banks Research Manan Gosalia looks at the merits of physical locations.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Manan Gosalia: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Manan Gosalia, Morgan Stanley's Head of US Large Cap and Mid Cap Banks Research. Today: why the bank branch you pass on your commute may matter more than you think. It's Thursday, August 6th at 10am in New York. When was the last time you went to your bank? You probably do most of your daily banking online and maybe go to the local branch for occasional transactions, like getting a certified check or talking to a financial advisor. So, you might think that bank branches are fading into the background. But America's biggest banks are actually accelerating their investments in physical locations. That shift could reshape the competition for your deposits. In our research, we looked at where 12 large U.S. banks are expanding their footprints, and we identified 57 target markets. 34 of those markets are being pursued by multiple banks, and nine of those markets are being pursued by five or more banks.Since mid 2025, about 80 percent of these banks' new branches have opened in those markets. Most of the expansion is happening in the Southeast and Texas, with additional activity in the Midwest and several major metropolitan areas. 95 percent of the target markets have either above median projected population growth or they have ranked in the top 10 percent for deposit growth. That helps explain why Nashville and Atlanta are each targeted by seven of the banks, while Miami, Dallas, and Denver are targeted by six. These are places where households and businesses are growing and where banks see an opportunity to build relationships that could last for decades. The central question is whether physical branches still attract deposits. The evidence suggests that they do. From 2022 to 2025, 90 percent of the time when a large bank increased their branch share in the market, their deposit share also increased. But to become a real contender, a few scattered branches are not enough. Banks generally need at least a mid-single-digit share of local branches to compete effectively. At 10 percent or more branch share, deposit share exceeds branch share by a median 3.5 percentage points. So, density, not just presence, is what matters. Most large banks that we looked at have not reached that level. 60 percent of their positions in expansion markets remain below 5 percent market share. And so, this build-out looks like the beginning of a long competitive cycle. Even then, the pressure is already visible in what banks are paying for deposits now. The highest offered retail certificate of deposit rates are higher in the South compared to the Northeast. Higher rates do make deposits more expensive for banks to fund. In fact, evidence from the recent earnings reports suggest that this may already be happening. And we expect higher funding and branch costs to pressure bank margins and lift expenses into 2027. This means the cost of gathering core deposits could move structurally higher. And the lesson is surprisingly old school. You can do almost everything on an app, but a branch on the corner still carries weight. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a recent performance with Nashville-based cover band Party of 5. I share how I prepared for a 40-song setlist, what the band expected from me, how I organized and learned the music, the guitar gear and live rig I used, and what it was like performing the show. Along the way, I discuss some of the songs and guitar parts I found especially fun or challenging, a few surprises from the gig, and lessons that can help any guitarist become a more prepared, versatile musician. Whether you're interested in playing live, joining a cover band, or simply learning songs more efficiently, you'll pick up practical tips you can apply to your own guitar playing. In this episode: How I prepared for a 40-song cover band gig Learning a large setlist efficiently Organizing charts and setlists for live performance My guitar, Kemper, and live rig Songs that were especially fun or challenging to learn What surprised me about the performance Lessons every guitarist can take away from the experience

"You can sing the gospel and still not live it."   That's the line that stopped Justin Roethlingshoefer cold when Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham told him they'd surrendered everything to God except their health. It was the one thing they were resisting, and the place their growth kept stalling.   In this conversation you'll learn why your habits are just your identity made visible, and how that changes what you actually do on Monday. You'll hear the simple evening rhythm Justin uses to fix the wrecked sleep most worship leaders run on, the three-two-one rule that gets you into the deep sleep that lets your body repair. And you'll get the reframe on Romans 12: your health doesn't die on the altar of your ministry, and rest is the obedience, not the weakness.   Justin spent over a decade as a health coach in the NHL before touring the world with Brandon and Phil, and he's the founder of Holy Health.   If you've ever come home Sunday wiped out and wondered if you're the only one losing sleep over the weekend, this one's for you. When Sunday prep is handled, you have room to steward the rest. Worship Online gives your whole team a system to show up ready, so rehearsal refines instead of fixing.

In this episode, I'm getting into something that is often misunderstood in the online business world, visibility. Not the kind of visibility that comes from posting more on social media or running ads, but strategic visibility: the kind that puts you in front of the right people, in the right rooms, at the right time. I share real client stories of women who scaled through visibility done well—Kate who started landing high-level conferences and podcast guest spots, Dana who turned thought leadership into a book deal, Steph who leveraged podcast appearances into consistent six-figure months, and Kylie whose podcast guest spots brought in clients already sold on her before they even reached out. I also share how my nearly decade-long career as a publicist for Grammy-winning musicians, thought leaders, and bestselling authors shaped the way I approach visibility today, and why I don't just teach my clients how to refine their messaging and build their offers. I actually help them get in front of the right people. If you've been posting, engaging, showing up consistently, and still feeling like you're not getting noticed, this episode gives you the three practical steps to start building the kind of strategic visibility that opens doors you didn't even know existed.

It's about who knows you. Not who you know. But who knows you and trusts you enough to open the right doors for you.” - Julie Solomon  “  You have got to get clear on what it is that you want to be known for. So before you can get into the right rooms, you need to know what you want people to say about you when you're not in the room. What you want them to know, to believe, to feel, what's your signature message? What's your unique genius? And if you're not clear on what that is, you are going to consistently struggle to stand out. Your message will continue to get lost.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: [UNSCRIPTED RETREAT 2027] Where your voice, your message, and your identity become one.
