This week, my wife Mallory joins me for only her second podcast appearance ever to break down everything from The Lab Offline Powered by Circle — our second annual 2-day in-person retreat for Lab members, hosted June 8–9 at Hotel Renegade in Boise, Idaho. Mallory planned essentially everything: seating charts, venue contracts, menus, swag, run of show. She's been at it for roughly 6 months. In this episode, we talk about: The full economics of running a community retreat (we lost $8,300, which is actually an improvement) How we took breakfast from a 4.8 to an 8.1 rating — and what we'd cut to reduce costs next year What ranked #1 for attendees 2 years running, and why trivia (our favorite activity) came in 7th Whether we'll keep doing this in Boise — and what Columbus, Toronto, and doing 2 events per year might look like By the end of this episode, you will have a clear picture of what it actually costs to run a high-quality community event, what's worth paying for, and what we'd do differently.

Emilie Schario grew up in New Jersey, outside of Newark, and attended college in the state. Currently, she lives in Columbus, Georgia, outside of Atlanta. She mentions she got into technology so she could easily follow her husband's career geographically, and has much success in the industry. Outside of tech, she is married with 3 boys (all 5 and under)... so there is a lot of wrestling in her household. She admits she is often quoted staying she does three things in her life - work, parenting, and if she is lucky, attends CrossFit 3 times a week. In fact, she finds a great sense of community in that world, and brings her kids with her to cheer her on.A year and a half ago, Emilie's current venture was started, to build the open source orchestrator (or "harness") for AI coding agents. Through some shuffle in the early team, Emilie joined and started in building the fastest AI coding app on the market.This is the creation story of Kilo.SponsorsUnblockedTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiLinkshttps://kilo.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilieschario/Our Sponsors:* Check out Cash App and use my code CASHAPP10 for a great deal: https://cash.app* Check out Plaud AI and use my code CODESTORY for a great deal: https://plaud.aiAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Ohio's Attorney General used one word to describe the Siders case that most people skipped right past: "intrafamily." That word isn't an accident. It carries implications that go well beyond the sixteen counts of child endangerment on the books against four adults.Sixteen children were found in a room the size of a walk-in closet. Some couldn't speak. One was flown to Columbus by helicopter in critical condition. Birth certificates list Elizabeth and Gary Siders Jr. as the parents of all sixteen, but DNA testing is underway — and the Attorney General's characterization raises the question of whether the family tree is exactly what the certificates say it is.Elizabeth Siders was fifteen when she married Gary Jr. She was allegedly thirteen when her first child was born. Her family says she was indoctrinated and estranged for fifteen years. Her attorney says she wants to be reunited with her children. Prosecutors say she's a defendant.Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks it all down with Tony and Robin — the DNA testing, the gag order that one defendant's attorney used to silence every official in the case, whether the grandparents were the true architects of eighteen years of isolation, and whether the charges on the table are anywhere close to matching what actually happened inside that house.The gag order is doing its job. The officials are silent. The public is not.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Plus, in Care Don't Care, the gang uncovers some of the delightfully eccentric requests reportedly associated with William Shatner.

Ever wondered why judges sometimes hold off making a decision after a big court hearing? The recent Charlie Kirk preliminary hearing in Utah is a perfect case study, and this episode explains what's really going on behind the scenes.I look at the mechanics of preliminary hearings, specifically highlighting the Kirk case in Utah. One concept is the judge's choice to delay an immediate decision and instead issue a written opinion later. This is a common part of the legal process, though it can cause frustration and anxiety for both the families affected and the legal teams involved.Judges sometimes need extra time to review evidence, consider legal arguments, and ensure their decisions are thorough and ready for appellate review.Takeaways:Judges frequently delay decisions after preliminary hearings to allow for careful review and written opinions 00:50.This process is normal and is meant to ensure sound, appeal-proof decisions that consider all evidence 01:31.Both victims' families and defendants experience the stress of waiting for a decision 03:15.The judicial system is not perfect, but these delays are built in to promote fairness and accuracy 03:32.Immediate rulings are possible, but in complex or high-profile cases, written rulings are more likely 02:42.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is a preliminary hearing? - A preliminary hearing is where the government must establish probable cause for the case to proceed to trial.Did the judge make a decision at the Kirk preliminary hearing? - No, the judge chose to delay the decision and announced it would be given at a later date, a process called "taking under advisement."Is it common for judges to delay decisions after a preliminary hearing? - Yes, it happens often, especially in complex cases or when written opinions are necessary for appeal-proof decisions.Why do judges sometimes request post-hearing briefs or memos? - Judges may request written arguments from both sides to incorporate into their final decision, ensuring a well-informed ruling.How does a delayed decision impact victims and families? - Waiting for a decision can be difficult and stressful for everyone involved, including victims' families and defense teams, but it's a normal part of the legal process.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Bud is the lecturer for his local Knights of Columbus chapter, and he had a reflection on how we answer the call of God, based on the lives of saints in Scripture. We dive into the idea of what makes us weary to answer the particular callings in our life, and what temptations allow us to ignore the call or transform it in ways that go against the very act of the call itself.

The Columbus Blue Jackets once again fell just short of the Stanley Cup Playoffs during the 2025-26 season, extending their postseason drought to six consecutive years. After a dramatic midseason coaching change sparked one of the NHL's best second-half turnarounds, Columbus appeared poised to finally break through before another late-season collapse dashed those hopes. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine why the Blue Jackets continue to struggle in pressure situations, the emergence of several young stars, and the important decisions awaiting General Manager Don Waddell this offseason.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Blue Jackets are eliminated from playoff contention on April 13 after another season that began with modest expectations. Neil and Vic discuss how Columbus entered the year as a playoff bubble team following an emotional 2024-25 campaign and why sustaining that momentum proved difficult.[00:00:45] Columbus struggles through the first half of the season before General Manager Don Waddell makes a coaching change on January 12, replacing Dean Evason with veteran bench boss Rick Bowness. The move immediately energizes the Blue Jackets as they surge back into the playoff race.[00:01:00] Despite their remarkable turnaround, the Blue Jackets once again falter when the stakes are highest. A disastrous 2-8-1 stretch over their final 11 games erases their playoff position, highlighted by a disappointing season-ending loss to Washington that prompts Rick Bowness to publicly question his team's competitiveness and commitment.[00:02:00] Neil explains that Columbus' biggest problem isn't talent—it's finishing. Whether protecting leads during games or holding onto playoff positioning in the standings, the Blue Jackets repeatedly fail to close the deal, continuing a troubling pattern that has followed the organization over the past two seasons.[00:03:00] The discussion turns to the club's promising core. Zach Werenski anchors the defense while Kirill Marchenko, Adam Fantilli, Sean Monahan, Charlie Coyle, Cole Sillinger, Boone Jenner, and emerging goaltender Jet Greaves provide optimism that the talent necessary to compete is already in place.[00:04:00] Neil and Vic examine Rick Bowness' future after he signs a one-year extension. Following his emotional criticism of the team at season's end, the veteran coach returns determined to change the culture and help Columbus finally overcome its inability to finish important games.[00:05:00] Looking ahead to the offseason, the Blue Jackets enter the 2026 NHL Draft with all seven of their original selections intact and approximately $8.75 million in projected salary cap space, giving Don Waddell flexibility to strengthen the roster.[00:05:45] The panel reviews Columbus' unrestricted free agents, including captain Boone Jenner, Charlie Coyle, Mason Marchment, Danton Heinen, Erik Brännström, and Brendan Smith. Neil identifies Jenner, Coyle, and Marchment as important veterans the organization should strongly consider retaining.[00:06:30] Columbus' restricted free agent class features several key pieces of the franchise's future, including Adam Fantilli, Cole Sillinger, Igor Zamula, and new number-one goaltender Jet Greaves. Fantilli's next contract is expected to become one of the organization's highest offseason priorities.[00:07:00] The episode concludes with cautious optimism for the Blue Jackets. With an improving young core, a respected veteran coach returning behind the bench, salary cap flexibility, and a full complement of draft picks, Neil believes Columbus has the pieces to become a playoff team—provided they finally learn how to finish games and seize the opportunities in front of them.

It's not easy for a true freshman to crack the rotation to earn playing time for the Ohio State Buckeyes, and it's even more uncommon for a first-year player to make a real impact on the season. However, this year, a pair of true freshmen have a chance to do just that on offense for Ryan Day's program. In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeInsiders.com joins host Tom Orr to count down players 30-26 on the list of the most impactful Buckeyes for 2026, including freshman RB Legend Bey and freshman WR Chris Henry, Jr. Today's episode is presented by Jeff Ruby's Columbus, the award-winning, upscale steakhouse in Downtown Columbus, named one of the Top 50 steakhouses in America by Food Network.

God is not like us. It's a very human tendency to try to make Him like us, or to frame our thoughts about Him in human terms - but it's wrong. When the seraphs cry "Holy, holy, holy," they declare that God is separate, apart, other. This week Jim will help us understand some of the "most different differences" between the Creator and His creatures. He'll talk about God's eternal existence, His infinite knowledge and power, and his immutable character.

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with Alex Castle and Matt Grove to talk about how Augusta Distillery grows fast without losing its cask strength, unfiltered identity. We dig into the Ohio OHLQ collaboration, why the $59 small batch matters, and how meeting people in stores and at festivals turns shelf bottles into home bar staples. • why Augusta moves from single barrels into three to six barrel small batch while keeping a single barrel mindset • how the Ohio OHLQ custom small batch and Buckner's 13 release land with fans across the state • why cask strength and no dilution stay non-negotiable for the brand • the real work behind barrel picks, blending decisions, and building a balanced flavor profile • why pricing is part of trust, giving new drinkers a lower risk way to try Augusta • what “boots on the ground” tastings change for a brand in a crowded bourbon market • how Augusta's distillery experience keeps evolving, from tours to bottle your own to cocktails Whether you listen to us or you watch us, make sure you leave us good feedback. A $59 bourbon can sound like a compromise until you taste what Augusta Distillery is putting in the bottle. We're joined by master distiller Alex Castle and brand ambassador Matt Grove to unpack the thinking behind Augusta's cask strength small batch, built from six barrels and designed to drink with the same care you'd expect from a single barrel program. No dilution, unfiltered, and largely made from 7 to 9 year old bourbon, it's positioned as a real entry point for people who have stared at premium Buckner's bottles and thought, “I need to taste this before I bet that kind of money.”We also get into Augusta's Ohio push with OHLQ and what it's like taking the show on the road, hitting tastings across Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati at some truly weird hours, then finding lines of fans already waiting. If you know Ohio, you know the love for weeded bourbon runs deep, so we talk about the reception for Augusta's weeded single barrel and why face to face tastings still matter in a world of constant releases and crowded shelves.Along the way we swap festival stories, explain why barrel picking and blending is harder than it looks, and tease what Augusta is planning for Kentucky Bourbon Festival. If you're hunting bottles, planning a bourbon tourism trip, or just want a cask strength pour that overdelivers for the price, this conversation gives you the context and the practical tips.

Most people can buy a lottery ticket, join an office March Madness pool, or place an occasional sports bet without it becoming a problem. So why do some people lose their savings, relationships, careers, and even homes because they can't stop gambling? In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with certified gambling counselor Eric Webber, MA, to explore the realities behind gambling addiction and why it deserves to be treated as a serious mental health condition. This conversation examines the explosion of legal sports betting, in-game prop bets, fantasy sports, and gambling advertisements that have made betting more accessible — and more difficult to avoid — than ever before. Eric explains how modern betting platforms are intentionally designed to deliver frequent rewards that keep people engaged, and why "just stop gambling" is no more helpful than telling someone with depression to "just cheer up." Listeners will learn: how treatment for gambling addiction works and what to expect why gambling addiction is a real behavioral addiction, even without substances involved the critical role of peer support in long-term recovery potential warning signs that casual gambling may be turning into compulsive behavior If you've ever wondered when gambling crosses the line from entertainment to addiction, this conversation may change the way you think about betting forever."People don't lose everything because they enjoy gambling. They lose everything because they can't stop — and that's what makes it an addiction." ~Eric J. Webber, MA Our guest, Eric J. Webber, MA, is the Caron Legal Professionals Program Coordinator and Senior Behavioral Health Therapist at Caron Treatment Center. He provides direct care through individual and group counseling sessions, as well as specialty lectures focused on the disease of addiction, relapse, addiction interaction disorders, work/professional related issues, and other targeted needs.

God is not like us. It's a very human tendency to try to make Him like us, or to frame our thoughts about Him in human terms - but it's wrong. When the seraphs cry "Holy, holy, holy," they declare that God is separate, apart, other. This week Jim will help us understand some of the "most different differences" between the Creator and His creatures. He'll talk about God's eternal existence, His infinite knowledge and power, and his immutable character.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Every one of the sixteen Siders children was born at an area hospital. Every one. And over eighteen years of deliveries — including conjoined twins at a Columbus hospital who were born and died the same day — not a single medical professional flagged what was happening inside that family. No school enrolled those children. No social worker knocked on the door. The only reason anyone found them was a misdemeanor warrant served on Gary Siders Jr. for something that had nothing to do with kids.What deputies walked into at 182 Ohmer Street in Hamden, Ohio, was a five-room house with twenty people inside it. Children in a single room covered in waste and insects. An eighteen-year-old who couldn't write her own name. The Attorney General called it "pure evil" and said if they'd waited one more day, children would have died. Four adults now face sixty-eight combined felony counts, with a grand jury expected to add more. The AG's own language — describing the case as "intrafamilial" — signals the investigation may be heading somewhere far darker.This episode follows the trail of every institution that missed these children. Ohio's gutted homeschool laws. A county-by-county welfare system the family moved through without detection. Hospitals that delivered sixteen children over eighteen years without ever asking why there were no medical records. And the story of Elizabeth Siders, who was married at fifteen in West Virginia with a judge's signature while seven months pregnant — raising the question of whether the first person failed by these systems was one of the four people now charged.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The highest month of membership revenue in Lab history was also the setup for the highest month of churn. One year later, February delivered both records. I have been building community in some form since 2012. I ran Startup Weekend events in Columbus, led online Mastermind groups, consulted on the launch of SPI Pro, and spent 2021 leading the community team at Smart Passive Income before going back out on my own. In early 2022, I launched what became the Lab, a membership for creators earning at least $10,000 per month in non-service revenue or with 10,000 followers on a single platform. The Lab now has around 340 members across three tiers and is still standing after years of waves of communities coming and going. In this episode, we talk about: Why scarcity and urgency drive signups but can crater your retention a year later The two onboarding "secrets" I kept quiet for a while The mastermind paradox How to think about scaling a community without accidentally eroding the culture you've built What I would tell anyone thinking about launching a membership before they write a single line of copy By the end of this episode, you will have a clearer picture of how a membership actually works over years, not just at launch.

What happens to intimacy, nostalgia, and creative power when a world-class filmmaker decides to step away from the camera and help reimagine their masterpiece for the live stage? In this episode of TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I sit down with award-winning filmmaker, writer, and director Ritesh Batra. Celebrated globally for his masterpiece debut feature film, The Lunchbox, Ritesh has spent the last decade crafting incredibly delicate, human-centered stories. Now, he has brought that same quiet magic to the theater stage, serving as the book writer and co-lyricist for the highly successful musical adaptation of The Lunchbox.Ritesh shares unique process of rewriting a beloved indie film for a live theatrical medium. He shares why he deliberately avoided rewatching his own movie to allow a fresh, organic confluence of creative energy to take over with his collaborators. He also shares his personal philosophy on "artistic fingerprints"—explaining why true success in any creative field requires leaving your own distinct, irreplaceable mark rather than chasing past commercial formulas or letting executive gatekeepers dictate the narrative. Ritesh shares insights on:• Nostalgia & Friction: Why he prefers focusing his storytelling on the compelling friction of characters "left behind" by rapid societal changes rather than those keeping up with them. • Stage vs. Screen Intimacy: How the live stage provides a unique canvas to showcase unspoken connection and stillness in ways the cinema camera cannot. • The Fingerprint Philosophy: Why elite artists must own their distinct perspective, and how to protect your creative power in a system obsessed with past commercial formulas. • Songs Hidden in the Seams: The organic process of discovering musical numbers hidden in the quiet, empty spaces between film scenes. • Overcoming the Fear of Collapse: Navigating the intense vulnerability of a production's first week and learning to trust your internal compass. Whether you're a filmmaker, a theater lover, a creative professional navigating a highly public career, or someone looking to practice deeper mindfulness and trust in your everyday life, Ritesh's thoughts on artistic conviction provides an invaluable blueprint.

Andrea Wulf was born in India to German parents, grew up in Hamburg, and became a writer through pure serendipity... She has since become one of the finest narrative historians today: The Brother Gardeners, Founding Gardeners, Chasing Venus, then The Invention of Nature, her life of Alexander von Humboldt, which won fifteen international awards including the Costa Biography Award, the Royal Society Science Book Prize and the LA Times Book Prize, followed by Magnificent Rebels and now her new book, and the subject of our interview today, The Traveler, which brings alive George Forster, the man Humboldt himself credited with making him an explorer, and the most open mind of the 18th century.Link To 'The Traveler'Link To 'Curious Worldview Substack'Leave a review on Apple or Spotify (nothing does more to help grow the show)It's an enormous pleasure to have spoken with Andrea, we discussed...Fernweh — the German word for the ache for the distance, and why it's Andrea's "main condition of being"Living voyeuristically through the subjects of her books, and why she had to write about a traveller again after Magnificent Rebels in the pandemicWho was George Forster: the wunderkind who taught himself to read off book spines, was a working botanist on a Russian expedition at ten, and translated a Russian history book into English at twelve.Why Forster was unique among explorers: Columbus's "green" and "naked" vs Forster painting Antarctica in blue, purple and greenDying at thirty-nine in disgrace — written out of history in Germany as a traitor, in Britain as a critic of empire — and the East German rediscovery of the 1950sJames Cook's moral ledger: firearms as display of power, even-handed punishment of crew and islanders, the property concept he couldn't see past, and his genius as navigator and scientistForster and religion: what he actually grasped of Māori and Tahitian cosmology, the Lutheran upbringing, the Rosicrucian detour, and the Bible as "a book of oriental fantasy"Serendipity: the borrowed London house that made her a writerCurious Worldview (catalogue connections to this ep)The Fernweh thread — the ache for the distance that opens this episode is the same force behind Tim Cope's 10,000km ride in the shadow of Genghis Khan, Robyn Davidson's camel trek and life of nomadism, Colin Thubron's half-century of crossing borders, Levison Wood's life in adventure and Chris Arnade walking the world.Why we travel at all — Andrea's distinction between slow travel in an explorer's footsteps and photo-stop tourism picks up exactly where Ash Bhardwaj's 'Why We Travel' left off.The forgotten traveller — Forster joins James Holman, the Blind Traveller, in the catalogue's gallery of history's misplaced adventurers, from the Bryan Bashin episode.The great explorers — Cook, Columbus and the moral spectrum of the age of exploration, ground first surveyed with Scott Rank on the great and famous explorers of history.Colonial reckoning — Cook's contested legacy and the darkness Forster's attitude shines out of run straight back to Adam Hochschild on King Leopold's Ghost and Tim Butcher's Blood River journey through the Congo.Narrative non-fiction masters — Andrea name-checked alongside David Grann, the GOAT of narrative non-fiction, in the conversation itself.The serendipity question — asked now some 300 times, a thread first unspooled with Christian Busch on inviting serendipity into your life.Timestamps...00:00 — Fernweh: the ache for the distance, the word that opens the episode and defines her whole career02:37 — Living voyeuristically through her subjects; writing Magnificent Rebels during the pandemic; why she had to return to a traveller09:41 — Why Forster was unique: Columbus who could only say "green" and "naked" vs the storyteller who painted Antarctica in colour; neither idealising (Rousseau) nor demonising13:34 — The six weeks that changed him: Dusky Sound's "art and industry to these savages" to Queen Charlotte Sound's "we bring death and disease"15:48 — Dead at 39, a traitor; written out of history in Germany and Britain; the East German rediscovery20:15 — The Humboldt imprint: A Voyage Round the World, the 1790 journey through Europe, shovelling sand in revolutionary Paris23:33 — Cook's morality: firearms, even-handed punishment, what Cook couldn't see about Tahitian property that Forster could31:09 — Science aboard an imperial expedition; the real treasure Forster brought home: all humans are one species36:53 — The wunderkind: a working botanist at ten, translating Russian history into English at twelve40:00 — The breadfruit deduction: seedless trees to a correct theory of Polynesian migration43:43 — Forster and religion: what he actually understood of the Māori cosmos, the Rosicrucian years, the Bible as "oriental fantasy"48:27 — Do modern explorers exist?
