The day brought a mix of major entertainment, business, and cultural developments. Papa Murphy’s Pizza locations are closing across the country, raising questions about shifting consumer habits and fast-casual market pressures. In a significant loss to the architecture world, Frank Gehry—world-renowned designer of the Disney Concert Hall—passed away at 96, leaving behind a legacy that helped reshape and revitalize downtown Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Walmart expanded its drone-delivery program in Atlanta and plans to roll it out to additional states, signaling how quickly the retail and logistics landscape is evolving. Media and tech news continued to dominate conversations as former Tim Conway producer and real-estate expert Jason Insalaco weighed in on Netflix’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Following Discovery’s separation, Netflix’s move opens doors not only to a massive content library but also to entry into the gaming business through WB’s gaming division, raising questions about stock value, market impact, and the future of the entertainment industry. Insalaco further discussed whether Netflix’s ownership of the WB catalog will help or hurt creatives and traditional film and TV models. On a lighter cultural note, many people are braving unusually cold weather, and first-time visits to Disneyland sparked conversations about whether someone is—or isn’t—a “Disney person.” Dodger Gondola proposal moves forward, but not everyone is happy with it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Compendium, we dive into the wild, beautiful, and often brutal life of Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo is the artist who turned her pain into power. From the accident that shattered her spine to the politics, love affairs, and Diego Rivera drama that filled her world, Frida painted every heartbreak straight onto the canvas. And today I'm going to tell Adam all about it as we explore her bold self-portraits, her surrealism before it had a name, and how a woman once dismissed as “Diego's wife” became a global symbol of art, rebellion, and self-expression, from La Casa Azul to the Tate Modern.

Ed Roberts is often called the father of the independent living movement, but many people have never heard his story. This week, I’m joined by Professor Scot Danforth, author of An Independent Man, to explore Ed’s life, from contracting polio at fourteen and living in an iron lung, to becoming a key figure in disability rights. We talk about the moments that shaped his activism, the power of the Rolling Quads, the curb cut revolution, and why Ed’s ideas on independence and attitudes still matter today. If you want to understand where disability pride and modern disability culture began, this conversation is a meaningful place to start.

Television and Pop Culture Icon Rhonda Shear is Back (She Never Left)! | The Brett Allan Show WATCH HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPQjvQBmhishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPQjvQBmhis Up All Night, the cult-favorite late-night movie showcase hosted by Rhonda Shear that lit up USA Network from 1989 to 1998, is making its long-awaited return on YouTube. The revival comes through a partnership between Shear Enterprises, LLC, and Horror Online Video Store Experience, Kings of Horror, which just had its premiere episode on October 25 and now will be back with a special Thanksgiving-themed show on Saturday, November 22, at 10:00PM. And don't be surprised if Rhonda serves up a celluloid turkey or two. "Up All Night was never just a show—it was an attitude... and maybe a little eyeliner, cleavage, and sarcasm," said Shear. "Now we're back—louder, sassier, and somehow even funnier. Teaming up with Kings of Horror means we're not just dusting off VHS tapes—we're throwing a full-on horror house party at my Shear Media Studios in Tampa Bay on custom nostalgia-dipped sets. We've got a killer team of writers, comedians, and production partners ready to unleash all-new skits, twisted characters, and laugh-your-ass-off moments.” The series will spotlight indie horror from grassroots DIY to festival standouts, alongside cult classics and premieres. The creative team includes scream queens Linnea Quigley and Felissa Rose, musician John Brennan, special guest /comedic actor Yuki, and filmmaker Richard Gabai. Not only will this show reconnect Rhonda with her legions of Up All Night fans, it will also introduce her to a new generation who discovered her as the award-winning lingerie mogul behind Rhonda Shear Intimates and the Ahh Bra infomercial sensation. “I can't believe Up All Night premiered 30 years ago—this new incarnation is going to blow my longtime fans out of the water—and trust me, we will be dragging a whole new generation into some late-night chaos they didn't know they needed," exclaimed Shear.

Behind every successful property turnaround is a set of choices that shape the outcome. In this solo episode of the Real Estate Investor Podcast, Gary Lipsky walks listeners through a detailed case study of Icon on Spanish Trail, the 256-unit Tucson property he acquired in December 2023. He explains why the deal stood out (an institutional-quality asset purchased at a discount during a period of low transaction volume) and how his team crafted a business plan centered on water savings, staff optimization, and cost-effective upgrades. Gary breaks down the improvements that delivered the biggest impact, from high-efficiency plumbing fixtures and privacy fences to selective painting and smart amenity additions. He also shares the early challenges, including occupancy dips and renovation difficulties, and how focusing on controllables helped stabilize the asset and lift NOI (Net Operating Income) by 36% in the first year. Tune in for a transparent look at the wins, struggles, and strategic pivots behind this value-add execution!Key Points From This Episode:Why Gary chose to spotlight Icon on Spanish Trail as a case study.How limited deal flow in Tucson in 2023 created a rare buying opportunity.What was appealing about the deal: scale, quality, and discounted pricing.An overview of the business plan's focus on water savings and operational efficiencies.Targeted upgrades, including low-flow fixtures and privacy fences.Selective repainting and amenity improvements to enhance the property.How cost controls and efficiencies lifted NOI by more than 36% in year one.Navigating early struggles with occupancy and constraints on pushing rents.Capital-raising challenges due to tight liquidity and investor uncertainty.Washer-dryer additions as a controllable income-generating upgrade.Refinancing the property to lower-rate debt and greater savings.Community-building as a driver of retention and resident satisfaction.Gary's key lessons for focusing on controllables, efficiency, and stability.Current investment opportunities, from Class A and C options to Icon on Headley.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Icon on Spanish TrailIcon on HeadleyEmail Andy Huang, Investor Relations ManagerAndy Huang on LinkedInAsset Management Mastery Facebook GroupInvest SmartBreak of Day CapitalBreak of Day Capital InstagramBreak of Day Capital YouTubeGary Lipsky on LinkedIn

“All of the great artists are there for a reason: because they rebelled in some way. They created a visual vocabulary that felt fresh and new, which excited people. So, the great artists are not built on sort of anthills of sand. They're built on things of substance and of meaning. Though this is not a sufficient condition to become an icon, it's a necessary but not sufficient condition. I think you have to have an interesting and vivid personality or personal narrative that makes you interesting for people to talk about and want to learn about. I think you also have to have a support network of galleries, curators, and collectors who are excited about your work and want to push it forward, not wanting it to be forgotten. Basquiat's visual vocabulary is distinctive and stands out relative to what was being done in the 1980s. That's the sort of strong hill on which his reputation is built. Basquiat benefited from being the first black artist of note who got pushed forward. As in many things, the first benefits.”Today, we're joined by someone uniquely positioned to unpack the art world's inner workings and to help us understand one of its most mythic figures — Jean-Michel Basquiat. Doug Woodham is the author of the new biography, Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Making of an Icon, the first major life study of Basquiat in over twenty-five years. Drawing on more than a hundred interviews — from family and friends to collectors and curators — Doug traces the rise, fall, and resurrection of an artist who redefined what it means to be a cultural icon. Before turning to writing, Doug served as President of the Americas for Christie's, one of the world's leading auction houses. That role gave him an insider's perspective on how value is created — and mythologized — in the modern art market. In this conversation, we'll explore not just the man behind the legend, but the powerful machinery that turned Jean-Michel Basquiat into one of the most recognized and commercially successful artists in the world.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

“People today are so used to Basquiat's prices being extraordinarily high and rising that it's almost hard for people to understand that wasn't always the case. In the year he died, 1988, a terrific painting by Basquiat might have sold for $30,000. Relative to his other artistic peers, like a great Julian Schnabel painting that cost $800,000. After Basquiat died, some speculative capital entered his market, and his prices did pop, but in the early 1990s, his prices fell apart, and for much of the first half of the 1990s, his work was selling for 80% off what it had been selling before. Auction houses didn't want to include him in their auctions. There was a really good chance he was going to be remembered, but certainly not become a great star. Three key figures believed in him and proceeded to buy almost every available Basquiat in the first half of the 1990s. They were also just passionate believers in his work. But for those three people, it would have taken much longer for Basquiat to achieve acclaim, if ever.”Today, we're joined by someone uniquely positioned to unpack the art world's inner workings and to help us understand one of its most mythic figures — Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Thomas King was one of Canada's best-known Indigenous writers. But it turns out he is not Indigenous at all. His books, including The Inconvenient Indian and Green Grass, Running Water were critically acclaimed and taught in schools. We speak to Anishnaabe writer and humourist Drew Hayden Taylor who considers Thomas King a friend and mentor, and scholar Kim Tallbear of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate nation about why these kinds of revelations keep coming — and what needs to change.

Jimmy Cliff, born James Chambers on 30 July 1944 in Somerton, St. James Parish, Jamaica, emerged from humble beginnings to become one of reggae's most beloved and influential figures. His parents worked modest jobs on a rural farm, and from a young age, Cliff showed a natural gift for singing. As a child, he sang in his church choir; by his early teens he had moved with his family to Kingston, determined to carve out a career in music. At just 14 years old, Cliff scored his first hit with the self-penned single “Hurricane Hattie”, a song that nods to his own miraculous arrival during a storm. With his early success in Jamaica, he soon caught the attention of producer Leslie Kong, whose Beverly's label would provide a platform for Cliff to record more material and refine his style. In 1965, Cliff followed an invitation from Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, to move to the United Kingdom. While in London, he experimented with combining ska, rocksteady, and soul influences, earning recognition beyond Jamaica. Over the late 1960s, he released key tracks like “Wonderful World, Beautiful People” and “Vietnam”, the latter gaining admiration for its protest message. A turning point in his career—and in the global recognition of reggae—came in 1972 with the film The Harder They Come, directed by Perry Henzell. Cliff starred as Ivan Martin, a small-time musician who is forced into a life of crime. The movie's gritty realism and its all-star soundtrack, featuring Cliff's vocals on songs such as “Many Rivers to Cross”, “Sitting in Limbo”, and the title track itself, resonated widely. The film is often credited with helping bring reggae to a wider international audience. Though Cliff continued to release music through the 1970s, he also explored his spiritual side—spending time in Africa and embracing Islam, as well as other spiritual practices. In the 1980s, he returned to a more mainstream sound and released Cliff Hanger, winning his first Grammy Award in 1985. The success continued: in 1993, his cover of Johnny Nash's “I Can See Clearly Now” for the Cool Runnings movie soundtrack became a global hit, reintroducing his voice to a new generation. Throughout his life, Cliff recorded prolifically—producing over 30 albums. His later work continued to reflect his commitment to social justice: in 2012, his album Rebirth, co-produced with Tim Armstrong of Rancid, won him another Grammy. In 2022, he released Refugees, a deeply humanitarian record inspired by global crises, which he used to voice solidarity with displaced people. Jimmy Cliff's influence extended far beyond his singing. He collaborated with a wide array of artists—from the Rolling Stones to Annie Lennox to Paul Simon—and his songs were covered by many others, underlining the universal appeal of his message. In recognition of his impact, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. In Jamaica, he was honored with the Order of Merit, one of the nation's highest accolades. On a personal level, Cliff was intensely private. He had several children, and his longtime partner, Latifa Chambers, survived him. His wife announced his passing on 24 November 2025, revealing that he died following a seizure and pneumonia. Jimmy Cliff's legacy is defined not just by his music, but by the spirit it carried: hope, resistance and unity. From his rural Jamaican beginnings to global stages, he remained true to his message and his people. In his words, he always believed in crossing to the other side—to higher ground. Now, his journey has come full circle, but his songs continue to carry that same power to uplift, to challenge, and to heal.To learn more about Jimmy Cliff head to his website https://www.jimmycliff.com/

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we sit down with business thinker Joe Pine, the legendary co-author of "The Experience Economy," for an in-depth conversation about building a career around unique ideas. Joe Pine shares insights from his early days as a self-described nerd at IBM to his role in shaping the field of mass customization and ultimately designing a business that made him stand out as a category of one. The discussion moves fluidly from personal transformation to the sweeping changes he helped pioneer in business, and what it means to thrive as a creator capitalist in today's rapidly changing world. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Finding a Different Path: From Palo Alto to Publishing with Harvard Joe Pine's journey began in Palo Alto during the era of the Arpanet, with technology in his blood and a passion for applied mathematics. Pine joined IBM in 1980, at its peak as arguably the most desirable company for ambitious technologists. Despite a technical start, he found himself increasingly drawn to management, strategy, and the world of business ideas. His trajectory changed dramatically when IBM sent him to MIT for a master's in the management of technology. There, Pine encountered Stan Davis's concept of "mass customization" and felt a lightning bolt of inspiration. Deciding to turn his MIT thesis into a book, Pine landed a contract with Harvard Business School Press. The credential of publishing with Harvard, he notes, was a powerful stamp of intellectual rigor. As he recalls, “Harvard puts its stamp on it, says this is intellectually rigorous. This is a good book. This ought to be out in the world, and we want to publish it.”   Joe Pine on Leaping from Employee to Icon, and Creating the Experience Economy With his first book in hand, Pine found himself at a crossroads. The culture at IBM was changing, and a timely severance package offered him a financial cushion to take a risk. Encouraged by thought leaders he admired, he struck out on his own. Initially, IBM remained his primary client, but Pine quickly built a reputation for leading-edge thinking and collaborating with other luminaries like Don Peppers and Jim Gilmore. The launch of "The Experience Economy" marked a turning point, not just for Pine, but for the business landscape itself. He didn't merely spot a trend or invent a new buzzword; he named and framed a fundamental shift in the economy's fabric. “We didn't identify a fad, but a fundamental change in the fabric of the economy. And if it is a change in the economy, then it is always going to go like that, right? Until something surpasses it and it starts to go down as happened with commodities and goods and services.” The central idea that businesses must stage memorable experiences to remain relevant only grew more compelling over time, with Pine's frameworks gaining more relevance as the digital age accelerated.   Transformation and Identity in the Age of AI As the episode moves to the present, Pine discusses how transformation, both personal and organizational, is ultimately about changing identity. He credits much of his own success to an ability to recognize patterns and develop frameworks to describe and prescribe changes in business. Pine's recent work, including his Substack and newest book, explores not just customer experience but transformation itself, emphasizing that “all transformation is identity change.” The conversation turns to AI and the breaking waves of change it represents for businesses today, paralleling Pine's earlier identification of evolving economic eras. He sees transformation as most successful when companies or individuals are willing to fundamentally shift who they are, not just what they do. “The identity issues there are paramount because who you think you are often stops you from being able to do these things because it would change who you are so much.” Joe Pine believes that in the new world shaped by AI, those who can shed old identities and truly reinvent themselves—much as he did when he left IBM—will be the ones to define the next era. The lesson for aspiring creator capitalists is clear: the greatest value comes not only from unique ideas but also from the courage to turn those ideas into new identities, new categories, and new realities.

His work introduced the concept that companies must orchestrate memorable experiences to remain competitive in an evolving marketplace. With deep expertise in innovation and customer experience design, Joe helps organizations around the world architect differentiated experiences that drive growth and loyalty. He has worked with leading global brands across industries from retail and hospitality to healthcare and technology.
