Empowering Women in Real Estate - The Podcast with Karen Cooper
In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, Karen sits down with style coach Afton Porter for a conversation that goes far beyond fashion. Together, they explore how style impacts confidence, presence, personal branding, and the way women show up in their businesses — especially in midlife. Afton shares why the clothes in your closet may no longer reflect the woman you are today, how color and presentation influence first impressions, and why becoming unforgettable starts with feeling aligned, authentic, and confident in your own skin. If you have ever looked in your closet and felt like nothing works anymore, or wondered how to show up more confidently in your business without pretending to be someone you're not, this episode is for you.

In 1993, Deb and Dan Carey released Wisconsin Belgian Red, the third beer they made at their new Wisconsin brewery, New Glarus. It was one of the country's first “sour” ales, and it created quite a stir, and not just because it was so unusual. The Careys weren't on a momentary flight of fancy. Rather, Dan Carey, the brewer, had been experimenting with wild ales for six years, and they intended Wisconsin Belgian Red to be a key part of their portfolio. Thirty three years later, it still is. On this episode, we're going to hear from Jeff Sparrow and Dan Carey about how these old, almost extinct methods jumped the ocean to the United States to become an enduring part of craft brewing. No beer was more critical in developing interest in wild ales than New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red, and this is its story.Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.Click here to support independent journalism covering the beer industry.This episode is sponsored by:RahrBSGThis episode of the One Iconic Beer podcast is supported by RahrBSG – trusted supplier to brewers, distillers, and beverage makers across North America.

Steve puts Taryn and Danny to the test.
In November 2003, on the precipice of a brand new chapter of her life and career, Britney Spears sat down with Diane Sawyer for a Primetime interview to discuss everything from her so-called "new edgier image", to her new album, her family, life in the public eye, and her highly publicized breakup with NSYNC member Justin Timberlake. Even 23 years later, this interview is compelling, shocking, and most importantly, very indicative of the way we thought about and treated our female celebrities in the 2000's. In this episode, I go through it moment by moment, and word for word - reflecting on purity culture, mid-riffs, and y2k fashion, while also comparing the interview and its contents to the way we talk about female celebrities today. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit thelizardreview.substack.com/subscribe
Rotorua's iconic Prince's Gate Archway, built in 1901, is set to be dismantled after engineers warned it could be unsafe in extreme winds, but locals and heritage advocates are pushing for the landmark to be strengthened and restored instead. However, the council says public safety comes first, but any long-term decision will need to balance heritage value, cost and practicality. Rotorua Mayor Tania Tapsell told Kerre Woodham that there is still a possibility to replace the structure. "So the big question that our community is asking is can we replace them? That's where we haven't made a decision yet." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

His name was Jean-Louis Dumas, then chief executive of the leather goods company, Hermès.The design was sketched on the plane's sickbag, and the resulting leather holdall was christened the Birkin, after its inspiration.Today, the price tag ranges from a few thousand dollars to more than $200,000 for limited design versions, and it's often seen on the arms of celebrities and socialites.Jane Wilkinson looks back at its history, using BBC archive.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Welcome to Thursday! Not bad today…but really hot temps coming this weekend with highs in the 90's. We kicked things off with the Thursday song and we also talked to Office Cora this morning to see what she's up to this weekend in the 715. In the news this morning, Joe Gow's trial has been moved to September, former Judge Hannah Dugan avoids jail time, a recall on Honda Odysseys, an earthquake in Wisconsin, a warning about Needoh, David Crowley exits the Wisconsin governor's race, and a judge orders President Trump to pay $5 million to E. Jean Caroll. In sports, the Brew Crew last to the Cardinals last night and Brandon Woodruff's shoulder is apparently worse than we originally thought. The World Cup quarterfinals get started later today, Justin Verlander announces his retirement at the end of the season, Justin Bieber gets added to the halftime show of the World Cup finale, and Blackhawks' star Connor Bedard is going to miss the beginning of the NHL season. We let you know what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. And Jeopardy is apparently hiring! It's Hypothetical Thursday, and Brian's question for Jean was: "You're traveling back in time to medieval times and you can bring one item with you. What is it?" Meanwhile, Jean's question for Brian was: "What is the most iconic movie quote of all time?" Elsewhere in sports, a look at the diet of Erling Haaland, Republicans are worried about Caitlin Clark, and a betting scandal at the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest??? Cool story about a couple that recently saved a bunch of people from drowning. And a dog that was literally thrown in the trash is now living it's best life! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a student pilot who had to land a plane after the pilot literally jumped out of the plane, a #FloridaMan who set his ex-gf on fire after she broke up with him, and an EMT in Maryland who skeeted in a bunch of ice machines.

Neumann reflects on his childhood, military service, immigration to the United States, the rise and fall of WeWork, and what he learned from one of the most scrutinized founder journeys in technology. He explains why Flow is focused on rethinking housing, community, and belonging, and why he believes technology can fundamentally improve how people live. The conversation explores resilience, company building, leadership, real estate, software, flexible living, and the global housing crisis. Along the way, Neumann discusses rebuilding trust, designing for community, and why some of the biggest entrepreneurial opportunities emerge from deeply personal experiences.

With Scope 3 accounting for over 90% of overall emissions, Starbucks has seen its GHG footprint grow by 7% overall since 2019.The reassessment of the goal comes as the company takes “a fresh, comprehensive look at our sustainability goals,” according to a blog post by Starbucks' Chief Sustainability and Social Impact Officer Kelly Goodejohn, as part of the company's ‘Back to Starbucks' strategy initiated by CEO Brain Niccol. From the Impact Report:Overall Grants from the Starbucks FoundationFY25 $13.6M ($31M)FY24 $21.4M ($96M)Delaware Court of Chancery Interprets New Section 144 and Applies Heightened Presumption of Director IndependenceThe Opinion arose in a common context in Delaware stockholder litigation: claims over director and management compensation. In the decision, Vice Chancellor Lori W. Will applied, for the first time, the statute's heightened presumption of independence for directors of public companies determined by the board to be independent under the relevant NYSE or Nasdaq listing standards to dismiss derivative claims on demand futility grounds.In conducting the demand futility analysis, which looks to whether a majority of the board can independently consider a stockholder demand to bring derivative litigation, the Court reasoned that the new statutory language requiring a plaintiff to plead “substantial and particularized facts” to rebut the “heightened” presumption of independence sets a higher bar than under pre-existing law. Specifically, the Court held that the addition of “substantial” to the existing standard that already required particularized facts meant that “a plaintiff must plead specific, non-conclusory facts of sufficient qualitative significance to support a reasonable inference of a material interest or relationship that would impair the director's objective judgment.” The Court was clear that it is not a matter of quantity but rather quality, observing that “a collection of trivial facts” will not rise to the level of materiality required to satisfy this “heightened” standard. Applying that standard to the facts in the case, the Court concluded that the plaintiff's allegations of various overlapping board positions, overlapping investments, and other “business ties” with the company's founder and non-executive chairman were not sufficiently material.DR2The Boardroom Buy-InThe Taser CEO Who Says AI Is the Future of PolicingTaser and body-cam king Rick Smith is betting Axon's dominance—and his own pay package—on his tech-driven vision66% influenceRick Smith: Every 30 seconds one of his Tasers is fired by somebody in the U.S., usually a police officer.The pay package he and his board put together catapulted him to the top of last year's list of the highest-paid CEOs, with a compensation package valued at $164.4 million.33% no 2025; 10% no 2026Smith has already hit three of seven goals.

The Kyoto-based gaming giant has recently announced a 10% increase to base salaries for its employees, a move that highlights its commitment to talent retention while everyone else is laying off employees.Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa made the announcement during a recent shareholder meeting, emphasising that maintaining competitive compensation is central to the company's strategy. The raise applies to the company's workforce, which has grown to over 8,200 employees, the highest headcount in Nintendo's history.IN: CEO Shuntaro Furukawa's (18%) annual executive compensation at Nintendo generally totals around $2.5MOUT: 63% of shares held by institutional investors.

The department issued a technical release in April warning that proxy advisory firms may be subject to ERISA fiduciary standards and that proxy voting is a fiduciary act under the law that must be carried out “for the exclusive purpose of maximizing risk-adjusted return.”From the technical release in April: The Department has long recognized that voting rights and other shareholder rights attributable to shares held by ERISA-governed employee benefit plans are plan assets in their own right. Accordingly, management of those rights is subject to ERISA's fiduciary duties, including the duties of prudence and loyalty. The Department first issued guidance on this topic in the 1980s. For example, a 1988 letter (Avon Letter) noted that “it is the Department's position that the decision as to how proxies should be voted . . . are fiduciary acts of plan asset management.”(2)Proxy advisory firms may also be functional fiduciaries under ERISA section 3(21)(A)(ii) by providing investment advice for a fee to plans with respect to property of that plan.Here's why it's interesting:Defining fiduciaries as those who provide advice for a fee means everyone selling research is a fiduciary if the research is used in an investment decisionThe DOL is squarely defining proxy voting as a fiduciary act - which means that there can be no rational apathy as Mike Levin likes to talk about - if voting your proxies is definitionally your fiduciary duty, you can't defer it or ignore itIf you vote 99% in favor of management, you definitionally are ignoring your fiduciary duty - half of companies will underperform some peer set, meaning they produced fewer returns than peers, in any given year. So you either set the time frame longer (thus forcing the inclusion of long term data like climate and social factors) and say that in any one year it makes sense to vote with management to allow them time to execute strategy, OR you should be voting against nearly half of management proposals for underperformers each year because they are not producing pecuniary returnsGovernance chairs remain under pressure as investor scrutiny rises despite rising support for directors, research showsISS found that the MEDIAN support for directors has hit 98%They found that governance/nom chairs (those are specifically governance/nom committee chairs) had median support of 94.1%Pay chairs had 96.9% supportMM2The Boardroom Buy-InJPMorgan built a pipeline of female CEO candidates that was the envy of Wall Street.
