Join Joe Pardavila on The Authority Company Podcast for an eye-opening conversation with hospitality pioneer Travis Wilburn. As the architect behind The 100 Collection – a revolutionary portfolio of invitation-only, professionally managed vacation rentals – Travis unveils why traditional platforms like Airbnb fail luxury travelers and how his company is becoming the "Michelin Guide of luxury short-term rentals."In this episode, you'll explore:How overtourism and Instagram culture have transformed travel expectations, why booking direct saves guests 15-20% versus Airbnb/VRBO, and the surprising truth behind "influencer-driven" tourism (including Beyoncé's game-changing $10k Airbnb stay that reshaped the industry). Travis breaks down the dark side of vacation rental oversaturation and reveals how The 100 Collection partners with elite local operators (averaging 25+ years in hospitality) to deliver trusted, unforgettable stays from cozy retreats to 32-guest estates.Why this matters now:With post-pandemic travel demand shifting and regulations tightening in destinations like Charleston and Iceland, Travis explains how his model protects communities while offering access to extraordinary properties you won't find on mainstream platforms. Learn why he champions local management companies as the "Ritz-Carltons of vacation rentals" and how The 100 Collection's bootstrapped growth to 80+ destinations (and counting!) is rewriting the rules of luxury travel.Connect & Explore: 

POTUS ENDING OF GREENING MARKET, BEGINNING OF ADAPTATING MARKET:    8/8: Nature and Human History: The Earth Transformed: An Untold History Hardcover  by  Peter Frankopan  (Author) 1906 https://www.amazon.com/Earth-Transformed-Untold-History/dp/0525659161/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Global warming is one of the greatest dangers mankind faces today. Even as temperatures increase, sea levels rise, and natural disasters escalate, our current environmental crisis feels difficult to predict and understand. But climate change and its effects on us are not new. In a bold narrative that spans centuries and continents, Peter Frankopan argues that nature has always played a fundamental role in the writing of history. From the fall of the Moche civilization in South America that came about because of the cyclical pressures of El Niño to volcanic eruptions in Iceland that affected Egypt and helped bring the Ottoman empire to its knees, climate change and its influences have always been with us. Frankopan explains how the Vikings emerged thanks to catastrophic crop failure, why the roots of regime change in eleventh-century Baghdad lay in the collapse of cotton prices resulting from unusual climate patterns, and why the western expansion of the frontiers in North America was directly affected by solar flare activity in the eighteenth century. Again and again, Frankopan shows that when past empires have failed to act sustainably, they have been met with catastrophe. Blending brilliant historical writing and cutting-edge scientific research, The Earth Transformedwill radically reframe the way we look at the world and our future.

Two women in Iceland and Bolivia talk to Ella Al-Shamahi about creating female-centred walking tours that help people get to know the cities of Reykjavík and La Paz. Tinna Eik Rakelardóttir from Iceland says that the urban planning of her country's capital doesn't necessarily reflect its progressive values. Inspired by a tour she took in Ljubljana in Slovenia, Tinna combined her expertise in anthropology and business development to launch the Reykjavík Feminist Walking Tour. The walk highlights 200 years of the nation's drive for gender equality as well as the experience of being a woman in contemporary Icelandic society. Emma Rada Villarroel is a Bolivian feminist communicator of indigenous heritage and one of the co-founders of La Paz: The Feminist Tour. The tour explores the historic and ongoing struggles of the women of the city. Weaving her way through the streets of the highest city in the world, Emma shares stories about what's it's like to live in La Paz today as a student, an immigrant, a mother or merchant whilst also spotlighting the powerful women who have contributed to the city's history.Produced by Hannah Dean(Image: (L) Emma Rada Villarroel courtesy Emma Rada Villarroel.

This week, Sam and Hannah are back from a heavy Memorial Day Weekend of reading, and Hannah's books, in particular, are once again well-coordinated. Even if they're a little hard to describe. Also, this is a solid Pride episode, sort of by mistake. Here's what's on tap: - "The Book of Records," by Madeleine Thien, which is as meaty a read as we've had in a while, full of philosophical truths and a building made of time. This is great stuff.  - "Erasure," by Percival Everett, who is legitimately among the most important writers working today. This is the book that was made into the movie "American Fiction," but, as you might imagine, is even better than the movie.  - "I'll Tell You When I'm Home," by Hala Alyan, who this time delivers a memoir grappling with her family's history of immigration, escaping Kuwait after the Iraqi invasion and coming to the U.S. This book shows you what generational trauma means.  - "The Phoenix Pencil Company," by Allison King, a data privacy professional who's crafted a magical text about a family that can read pencil hearts (they stab it into their veins) that's perfect for Pride month. It's weird, yes. But new and different.  - "Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil," by V.E. Schwab, which is an ode to Anne Rice — a vampire book — but doesn't really follow Rice's vampire rules, exactly (they're all lesbian vampires, which is different). The second half of this is pretty great.  - Oh, and we're not going to tell you which book it is we disliked so intensely. See if you can figure it out. And there's no real good reason why this didn't get posted before June 10, other than Sam being in Iceland and not feeling like posting it. Sorry. 

Við hittumst kl. 11:00 á sunnudögum við Fagraþing 2a ... We meet at 11:00 on Sundays at Fagraþing 2a, about 7 miles (12 km) southeast of downtown Reykjavik. If you live in Iceland, or plan on visiting soon, make plans to worship with us in person!

In this conversation, Richard Case and Kathy Rocconi discuss various themes surrounding faith, the significance of marriage, and the role of non-believers in understanding Christianity. They explore the journey of walking with God, the implications of the end times, and the importance of Israel in biblical prophecy. The discussion also touches on the upcoming retreat in Iceland, the Battle of Armageddon, and the current geopolitical landscape concerning Israel and its neighbors.We want to hear from YOU! If you would like to submit a question or comment for further discussion, please email us at: questions@afjministry.com.

1)    At Hodu we were nine men. We started Davening and shortly thereafter the tenth man arrived. Can Kaddish deRabonon be said right away or does someone need to finish off the braysa of Reb Yishmoel aloud?[1]2)    When the name of Hashem name comes up in the Zohar etc. in Tikun Leil Shovuos, should it be uttered in the normal manner?[2]3)    Where I keep my car I need to pay for parking on a daily basis. May I ask a Goy to do this for me? Is there any preference that I reimburse the Goy after Shabbos?[3]4)    A student – who didn't sell his Chometz – presented me with a bottle of whiskey on Shovuos. Actually, he had said before Pesach that he would give me a bottle before leaving town. Need I be concerned and therefore empty the bottle down the drain?[4]5)    At Maariv on Motzei Shabbos the Chazan said thefull Kaddish right after Shmoine Esrei; what should he say after ויהי נועם, ואתה קדוש? [5]6)    In Iceland at this time of the year it doesn't really get dark, so we daven Maariv after Plag haMincha – at 11 pm! We do so also on Shabbos evening, but we make Havdolo on Sunday morning. May we eat after Maariv when it's too early to make Havdolo?[6]7)    As a salesman, may I approach someone else's clients and offer them better deals? [7]8)    A parent enrolled his child in a Cheder and made a monthly commitment for tuition. He has since stopped paying anything. Is that counted as acting dishonestly?[8]9)    Feedback: In Shiur #32, Mor was translated as Myrrh. But myrrh is extracted from a certain tree, not from the Musk-Ox (as discussed at the shiur). Indeed, what is the correctbrocho for the myrrh fragrance?[9]10)  Siyum on Rambam Sefer Kedusha.[1] נחלקו בזה הט"ז (סי'נה ) והמג"א (סי' רלד ). בקצות השלחן (סי' טז ס"ב) פסק כהמג"א,אע"פ שבשוע"ר לא דובר על זה.

NICK. IS. ALIVE!!! We hear the harrowing tale of his nearish-death experience in Iceland. Was it a mirage or were there really attractive Icelandic nurses pumping his IVs and leaving him in the hallway for hours on end? Was it a hallucination or did he in fact rip out his own tubes and walk out of the hospital unsupervised? Plus, a new take on whether ring/cup culture is ruinning how we talk about athletes, testing Nick's hockey vocab knowledge, and why you need to show up to a tournament (becuase it's not every day that Nick gets a second chance at life) Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ Send us your beer league drama: nick@blpa.com or jillian@blpa.com

Valerie David, also known as The Pink Hulk, is a three-time cancer survivor (non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, stage 2 breast cancer, and stage 4 metastatic breast cancer) who turned her journey of resilience into an award-winning one-woman show. Through humor, raw honesty, and advocacy, she inspires audiences worldwide—proving that even cancer won't stop her from taking center stage.Check out Valerie's show, The Pink Hulk here: https://pinkhulkplay.comKey Highlights:- Valerie trusted her inner voice when symptoms appeared, even when doctors initially dismissed them. If you are able to get second opinions, advocate for yourself, and listen to your gut, you'll find this to be useful in other parts of your own life.- Balancing intuition with fear over symptoms can be tricky, but Valerie advises: don't panic over nothing, don't choose to live in fear. Instead, stay proactive by communicating with your care team about any arising symptoms.About our guest:Valerie David is an actor, playwright, writer and editor. Her greatest accomplishment in life is being a three-time cancer survivor. She was diagnosed and treated for Stage III Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1999, Stage II Breast Cancer in 2014 and 2015, and Stage IV Breast Cancer in 2018. As of April 2019, she has beaten cancer again! Valerie reactivated her superhero within, and exactly 5 months after receiving hormone treatment only in pill form–no surgery, no radiation, no chemotherapy, Valerie no longer has active disease. She has since kept up a full schedule of performances–nothing has stopped her. Valerie's inspirational solo show, The Pink Hulk, has been accepted into almost 50 different play festivals worldwide since its 2016 debut, won multiple awards and has been touring since its very first performance, impacting audiences with the show's universal message of hope and empowerment. She has performed in over 25 different cities and globally, including in England, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland. A graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, her credits include the Off-Broadway production of A Stoop on Orchard Street, Cookie in Rumors and Claudia Shear's Blown Sideways Through Life. Films: How I Became that Jewish Guy, which premiered at a November 2015 NYC Film Festival, and Bridges and Tunnels. Valerie volunteers as a motivational speaker at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training events and Make-A-Wish Foundation. As a marathon cyclist, she co-founded Cycle of Hope, which raises money for national and international cancer organizations through bike marathons. Her most recent biking event raised almost $5,000 for the American Cancer Society and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.Key Moments:At 7 minutes 28 seconds “What is my choice? Is my choice going to live in fear every single day? Is it going to be well, we'll deal with it when it happens. So I think what I've learned from cancer is don't worry until there's something to worry about.”Disclaimer: All content and information provided in connection with Manta Cares is solely intended for informational and educational purposes only.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin editor Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨We talk about a search for a lost person on Mt. Esja, a search which started on Monday, June 9th, and was still ongoing when this show aired.✨ We also discuss last weeks fatality at Brúará, a river mid way between the town of Laugarvatn and Geysir hot springs on the Gold Circle. ✨The city of Reykjavík has announced the return of the ferris wheel that sat on the city's harbour last summer to mixed reviews. We discuss those mixed reviews and debate the location of the wheel.. ✨ A law was passed last week forcing airlines flying to Iceland to hand their passenger lists over to the Icelandic authorities. Apparently this had an immediate effect as members of the well known crime syndicate (or biker gang) Banditos were turned away in Keflavík Airport over the weekend.✨The Grindavík SARS Þorbjörn announced they would be selling red caps with saying "Make Grindavík Great Again", then quickly thought better of it. We discuss the fact that at least Grindavík has built a wall, of sorts.✨Also, don't drink the water in the Blue LagoonAnd finally, here is a list to The Reykjavík Grapevine's summer playlist, as promised:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Z0aHSg3SmBYpNuCMCacdy?si=e198fc8ba73c427a------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

In this episode we had the chance to speak with one of Stonelifting's great unsung heroes, Nic Whalen. A man whose relationship with Stonelifting is relatively private, but whose contributions to the revival of historical stones across Iceland are vast, having created countless opportunities for lifting enthusiasts to participate in this incredible historical strength ritual. We discuss his approach to finding these strength relics, his passion for Iceland, and his progression from a lap high lift during his first encounter to having made multiple successful walks around the pen with the mighty Husafell Stone!!!

As our fourth season draws to a close, we've got an apocalyptic, 2-part ending lined up. That's right, we're talking Armageddon, and we don't mean the 1998 Bruce Willis blockbuster. And of course, if we're going to delve into the end of everything, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu are going to need the help of our ever popular archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, the failed Soviet-era Kosmos 482 lander that was designed to withstand entry into the Venus atmosphere but never actually let Earth orbit and finally just came crashing back home on May 10, just a few days after we recorded this episode! Chuck, Allen and Hannah ponder the possibilities of cataclysmic destruction that the more than half-ton object could produce. Then, without missing a beat, Hannah takes us all the way back to Greek mythology and the Titanomachy, the legendary fights between the Gods and the Titans that were possibly inspired by catastrophic volcanic eruptions that laid waste to the ancient Mediterranean. Chuck jumps continents to discuss the Norse apocalypse known as Ragnarök – casually dropping that is inspired the massively popular Baldur's Gate 3 as he does. Not to be outdone, Hannah brings us all back to the original Armageddon itself: the final battle between good and evil that is foretold in the Book of Revelations to take place at Har Megiddo, the “Hill of Megiddo” in Hebrew. You'll also hear about where the word apocalypse comes from, and why it's become associated with the end of the world, as Hannah gives us all a quick lesson in eschatology, or the study of the end of the world. Our first question comes from Ahmed, who asks, “What are the odds that a killer asteroid will kill us all?” Allen gets a little excited about asteroid 2024 YR4, an asteroid the size of a 15-story building, that is predicted to pass safely by Earth in 2032 but at one point had as high a chance of hitting us as 4-5% – and still has about a 3% chance of hitting the Moon. Chuck explains that the odds of a true “dinosaur-killer” extinction event asteroid impact from an object at least a mile across is about 50 million to 1 in any given year. Hannah points out that it's far more likely that Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that inundated Pompeii, will erupt again. The last one was in 79AD, and since it tends to blow its top every 2,000 years or so, we're due. Moving back further, Hannah tells us about the Minoan Eruption that devastated the isle of Santorini in the Mediterranean, wiping out the city of Akrotiri, around 1600 BCE and was reported as far away as China. And that's just a few of the disastrous historic collapses Hannah shares with us, including the Hekla 3 eruption in Iceland that had may have had something to do with the Bronze Age Collapse. It turns out that the apocalypse is too big for a single episode! Join us in two weeks for Part 2 of our journey into all things apocalyptic.
