It is an absolute jam-packed, laugh-out-loud edition of the full show today!

Bringing down La Crosse’s Kmart, what ever happened to the green bubbler talk from last year and the potential selling of the north side library. Those were some of the big topics we discussed with city council president Tamra Dickinson ahead of their monthly Thursday meeting. We started with the north library, which is scheduled to close for good June 15. Dickinson walks us through the process of declaring it a surplus property and how they get proposals from different groups about what they’d want to do with the building. After that, we hit on the Kmart proposal from Three-Sixty Real Estate Solutions. The council could approve Phase 1 of Three-Sixty’s plans Thursday, which might mean the Kmart comes down yet this year. Dickinson is the chair of the Aviation Board, and we spent some time discussing the turnaround the airport has seen over the past year, adding flights, and what could happen next over there. Lastly, those green bubblers. It was all the talk last summer, but that attention has significantly died down. Dickinson, though, says there are plans in motion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Will Kmart come down, an indoor pool go up and what’s the north side library worth? Those are a few things we talked about with Mac Kiel in studio, helping preview committee week in La Crosse. The Copper Rocks project is again going before committees. That’s the plan to tear down the old Kmart and create both a business and residential area on that lot. Will Kmart come down this summer? We also discuss selling the north side library process, where committees are looking at making the building a “surplus property” and accepting “RFPs” (requests for proposal). In between all that, we looked at the city survey for building a $33 million indoor aquatics center through referendum. WIZM’s Brad Williams also joined to give us an update on the City Plan Commission, which had met just before the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"The child is fine. She was in good shape, but she's too young to talk."On the evening of Thursday, December 12, 1985, shoppers at a K-Mart in Spanaway found a toddler loitering outside the entrance. She'd been spotted playing with two other children outside the store, but as shoppers came and went, the little girl remained outside. The store's assistant manager reported a missing child over the store's intercom, but that did nothing to rouse a parent or guardian.Because of her difficulties communicating, the little girl was unable to say much about how she'd ended up outside the store, much less where her parents had gone. But when asked what had happened to her mother, the girl could only say that "Mommy was in the trees."If you have any information about this story that you'd like to share, please reach through the following methods:Email: micheal@unresolved.meVoicemail or Text: +18312003550Learn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meCheck out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.

If your lips are feeling a little unloved as the cooler weather sets in, you're not alone. This week, Kelly is joined by Amy Clark (filling in for Leigh), and let’s just say they are both having a major lip product moment. They're breaking down the ultimate winter lip combo, including the $38 Mecca find that acts like the "Faber-Castell of lip stains" and the $15 nourishing balm that lets you choose between a "milkshake" or a "thick shake" finish. Plus, Amy shares the $6 Kmart blush she immediately drove to buy after seeing it on Instagram, a pricey-but-worth-it at-home keratin treatment that claims to banish frizz for three months, and Kelly reveals the groundbreaking, contraband-photo-worthy $160 serum that literally had her flying all the way to Paris and London to investigate.

0:49: Yes, yes. 0:50: What is Etsy? 0:51: I just got back into cute little, my sister gets me into it. 0:54: She always gets such cute little homemade gifts. 0:56: Well, I bought a 1950s ball gown to wear to a charity thing of course you did, even though you have 700 ball gowns 70 years. 1:03: I'm the ambassador. 1:04: Anyway, let's not talk about fashion. 1:05: Kelly, do you want to start with your spending or your saving? 1:08: Well, I'm wearing both on my face. 1:10: Oh. 1:12: Let's start with Spy. 1:15: Spendy, Spy. 1:18: This is the Smashbox lit sticks, it's called a blush lighter. 1:25: Now, I, you know, any long-term youbie will know that I love to mix like a cream blush with a cream highlighter on the back of my hand or on my cheek and then blend it in together just so I've got like that. 1:37: Luminescent glow from within. 1:40: This is a two in one product. 1:42: That's clever. 1:43: So you know what, it's my spendy, but it's two products. 1:46: Can I ask, so is it like really balmy and juicy and OK, but it does it come in other colors? 1:51: Yes, OK, this is the shade, there's 4 colors, I think scary red. 1:55: It's not, it's called sunset. 1:59: wait till you see how pretty it is. 2:00: Oh gosh, it's nothing like that, I mean. 2:03: That is amazing. 2:04: Isn't it beautiful? 2:04: It's like this beautiful peachy pink with the most pretty grown-up luminescence in it. 2:10: It doesn't have glitter or shimmer, it's just, and it's in a, you know, a chubby bullet, like it looks a lot from like here from the Mecca Max, you know, color bullets, those very standard sort of wind up big, big crayon, but it's, it's a beautiful, like the outside, it looks very quite dark burgundy bricky, but that's amazing inside, so don't. 2:28: Judge a shade by its packaging. 2:30: Exactly, it's just so pretty and that's a universal like that would look good on everyone. 2:34: And that's you could be the, you could have the fairer skin, the deeper skin, that would look beautiful on you. 2:41: $41 and like I just, well it's expensive like given that you could get one probably for $12. 2:48: That's a 2 in one though. 2:49: Also, I, I've been using a bronzer stick exact same shape from a pharmacy brand, it's $40. 2:54: Oh, see that's a little bit ridiculous. 2:56: Everything is now Kelly. 2:58: Back in my day, at least we know that we're gonna pay the exact amount for a brand like Smashbox, rather like, will I get it on sale or won't I get it on sale? 3:06: That's true. 3:07: I got it from Mecca, $41 available in-store online, lit sticks. 3:11: One last question before I get my go, does it stay, do you set, are you a touch? 3:17: I set my blush because blu well if I want it to last all day, blush is the one product I would say that you, it, it fades so much and that's often matte and you then that's not kind of what you want, right? 3:30: Yeah, cos then it just looks like you've got clown face on like that's how I felt about the rare beauty. 3:35: I mean it looked beautiful but you didn't have any working time. 3:37: No, yeah, you don't, this, you've got a lot of working time. 3:40: That's often why if you and I do an early morning record, you are always like about how much blush I've got on, because I know by the end of the day it's going to be an average looking cause it fades. 3:52: So the way you look at 5 p.m. is the most important. 3:54: I'm only joking 100%. 3:56: blush I also would rather have more is more than less is less, so I absolutely love it. 4:02: It's really impressed me. 4:03: I love something a little bit different as well, even though I get excited by blushes in general. 4:07: I just thought that's a lot of fun. 4:08: I'm getting one. 4:09: So my spendy is sort of new but sort of not. 4:12: It's existed overseas for a really long time, and if anyone knows the dermatologist and hair expert, Doctor Leona Yip, can't say I do. 4:20: Oh my God, she's phenomenal. 4:21: I like her name though. 4:22: Yeah, so Doctor Leona Yip, she, there's some exciting content coming up with her that I don't think I'm allowed to tell you about, but anyway, interviewed her recently, then saw her at an event, and we were chatting away and she was telling me about this hairbrush she's working with to bring to Australia. 4:34: And I was like, oh I was thinking, oh great, another bloody hairbrush. 4:37: You know we've got Mason Pearson, we've got those happy brushes that I really like. 4:40: I've got a tangle teaser. 4:41: Yes, me too. 4:43: Anyway, check this out. 4:44: My whole family is fighting over this hairbrush. 4:47: Why? 4:48: It's $185. 4:50: Let me, I'm gonna have to read you the information because it's too scientific for me. 4:54: May I brush it through my hair, please, Kelly, I tried to take my hair out of it. 4:57: I wasn't sure if you would let me. 4:58: Oh my God, no, I'm a sharer, you know that. 5:00: Whoa, OK, so it's called the SB 572 hair and scalp brush. 5:04: Yes, please brush while I go. 5:06: $185. 5:07: It's handcrafted by master artisans in Osaka. 5:11: It's patented, so it's literally, she's given me the patent number. 5:14: I don't know if that's important. 5:15: And it reaches deep into the scalp's pores where your fingers can't or other brushes. 5:19: It feels like someone's scratching my head. 5:22: I love it. 5:22: So keep in mind she's a full-blown doctor, she would not, you know, import or partner with or endorse anything. 5:28: It's got 572 pins, and the multi-level pin structure uses 3 distinct nylon strengths to mimic a rhythmic professional massage. 5:35: It has deep pore precision that lifts the way it kind of gets in there, I don't know, it does though, trust me. 5:41: Like, how good is my hair looking? 5:42: Lifts hidden impurities and excess sebum, and the patented contour fit is a scalp hugging design that ensures contact with every angle that will gently stimulate microcirculation, warming the scalp by 2% to nourish hair roots. 5:57: Lastly, it improves scalp, elasticity and tone, creating the ideal environment for hair growth. 6:02: So obviously she's a doctor and she's not gonna sit there and say, brush your hair with this and your hair will grow faster, but it is the most sort of scientific, You know, get in there, get the angles right, are you OK? 6:14: It's like you went to sleep. 6:15: No, I'm waiting to ask you a question. 6:18: Does my hair look a little bit greasy after I just brushed it? 6:21: Well, no, but you've flattened it a lot. 6:24: I feel like, I don't know what sort of magic, but you know how you said it like goes into your pores. 6:28: Oh yeah, I mean I feel like it just like got all of the grease and oil out of my pores and rubbed it through my hair, not in a bad way, although I think definitely lifting like yours, so yeah, so sorry. 6:39: No, it's fine. 6:40: I love you back you hold on to it for now. 6:42: Keep in mind she's a dermatologist, so she's there about scalp health, so it's gonna lift the impurities, the dead cells, it's gonna stimulate circulation, it increases, you know, the temperature of your scalp with the circulation. 6:52: Your hair looks great. 6:53: I mean, no, we need to fix it. 6:54: You fixed it. 6:55: Have I fixed it, or is it still sitting flat on my head? 6:57: No, now it's very nice. 6:59: It's very, very good. 7:00: Are you being sarcastic? 7:01: No, you just like you can just go like that and you have so much volume. 7:04: People will be jealous. 7:05: It's fried. 7:05: I've got it about maybe. 7:07: Two weeks ago, I, look, you know me, there's probably 18 hairbrushes in each room of my house. 7:12: Everywhere I go, I'm like, Where's the gold one? 7:13: Where's the gold one? 7:14: Alex had it under his bed. 7:15: Of course he did, because it feels so good. 7:17: OK, I'm desperate to get one of those. 7:19: It feels so so good. 7:20: It doesn't feel too firm. 7:22: She said, use it in the shower if you like with conditioner, use it at the end with styling if you want to do that, just use it to brush your hair. 7:28: She said post bath, but I think that just means like out of the shower maybe. 7:31: It's phenomenal. 7:32: I love it. 7:33: That is such a good spend. 7:34: I would, I would spend 185 again and again on that. 7:37: Well, especially if you don't have 12 brushes in each room. 7:40: Well, they're all like Lady Jane when they're on sale, and I think, oh, I've lost mine, and then I'd take it home to join its friends. 7:45: What's your savy? 7:46: Rummage, rummage, rummage. 7:47: It's what I've got on my lips. 7:48: It is the L'Oreal. 7:51: Hyaluron tint lip stain serum. 7:54: I picked this up for 20 bucks the other day at Chemist Warehouse and it's just say like, I do not like when they do the tape and then you can't get it off, like yuck, cos then it's sticky every time you touch it. 8:07: That when I become the boss of the world, I'm gonna make that illegal, like to do that. 8:10: I'll put it on so you can see, it goes on really glossy. 8:12: It looks quite pigmented if that's all you've got on your lips. 8:14: That's all I've got on my lips, so it dries down to a tint that then stays on for a few hours. 8:18: It's really, really beautiful. 8:20: But does it stay glossy, cause your lips still look quite glossy. 8:23: Did you put something on top or she can't talk. 8:25: Really? 8:26: Well, whenever you put that on this morning, your lips were still glo I probably put it on not that long ago, but does it look pretty, or did I just ruin it? 8:34: No, you're very good at doing it. 8:35: So I chose the shade 420, but it's a red tint, an apple red tint. 8:40: I think if you're 420 across L'Oreal's lip colors, that's your red that's OK, then you get your matte or your whatever. 8:46: I. 8:47: Really love how juicy and apply the color is. 8:51: It's so good. 8:51: But then it just dries down and it's just so easy to wear and because I guess it's that serumy texture, it doesn't dry down and feel like I've got nothing on my lips or I've got texture on my lips, like it does feel like I've got a balm still. 9:03: OK, but does that make it stayed good, that's a very good hybrid, but now it feels dry. 9:08: Oh, but you're still so shiny, so shiny. 9:11: Oh, OK, I'm, I'm getting that in nude, of course. 9:14: Yes, yeah, there was heaps of nudes or like nice soft pinks and that sort of thing. 9:17: I just, you know, chose the, the frothing your lips. 9:22: I went to Kmart the other week, looked for you everywhere. 9:25: Whereas, I wasn't there. 9:26: Alas, I was picking up my $3 tassel bag. 9:28: 00, is that from Kmart? 9:30: Yeah, oh, we'll talk about that later. 9:32: OK, so She Glam is now stocked at Kmart. 9:35: I've never tried anything from there. 9:37: Get around it. 9:38: You've recommended something from there. 9:39: Yes, I used to order it from either Amazon or, I mean, it's in a lot of stores here now, but I was getting my old trusty eyebrow pencil from one of the other affordable brands, and there was a whole new section. 9:49: Oh damn, I was supposed to trick you and see what you thought brand this was cause I think it looks fancy. 9:53: So it's the She Glam Daydreamer mini palette, and the shades I've got is Cloudy Sunday, $12. 10:00: Don't you think that looks really fancy and expensive, like packaging? 10:03: It, yeah, it does. 10:05: No, but I, you know me, I just am not a cool-toned gal. 10:09: Wait, is that eyeshadow or eyebrow? 10:10: Eyesshadow. 10:11: What do you mean cool tone, that's brown. 10:13: Yeah, but it's a cool tone, they're cool toned browns. 10:15: OK, you can go and get your own colors, but I'm just saying, does the palette look palette. 10:20: It does, and I mean like $12 come on. 10:23: I know, I bought so much stuff. 10:24: I'm really interested in that shimmer. 10:26: Oh, good girl, good girl. 10:27: Oh, the pigment's phenomenal. 10:28: She claimed pigment. 10:29: I mean, I should get you to do the pigment test. 10:31: No, I just used that on my lash line earlier today, and then that's for my crease and stuff. 10:36: I actually bought like 3, that's why I haven't used this one as much. 10:38: Would you like to try it? 10:39: Sure. 10:39: There's a whole bunch of stuff. 10:41: Like from She Glam. 10:41: Their lip category is massive. 10:44: Not as big in eye, but I absolutely love this because I always want just something little. 10:49: Kelly has palettes that have 17,000 eyeshadows in them. 10:52: I get palettes that I use one or two. 10:54: Kelly's doing some swatches for us, right? 10:56: $12. 10:57: Pretty good. 10:57: And then they have bigger ones with 6 and 8 and, you know, huge ones, but I just love the Portability of that, so head to Kmart because you need another excuse, and look for me there because I am probably going to be there always do, although we don't live anywhere near each other, but it's me, I'm always at all, everywhere in Sydney. 11:15: Yeah, I thought you were, so that's my savy and I'm gonna go back and get a lot more. 11:19: After the break, I've got a newbie that Leigh was like, oh, Kel's gonna wanna scream about this from the rooftops when she can. 11:26: I kindly gave it to you. 11:33: Hey newbie, so anything new? 11:35: What's new? 11:37: OK, so go on, the newbie. 11:40: Well, it's actually not new, but she's had a glow up. 11:42: So the Loxitan Armand, the almond range, so those beautiful body products that all newbies know and love, it's had a bit of a glow up, so it's the exact same formula, the exact same price, but she's had an outfit change and it is just so luxe. 12:00: I bought in the old packaging and then I bought in the new packaging. 12:02: Oh my gosh, that is very good. 12:03: They also. 12:04: did bring out the mist as an actual standalone product, so a couple of years ago at Christmas they bought it out as a limited edition, or maybe it was after Christmas, I don't know when it was, but they brought it out and it was like literally here until it all sold out, but obviously people wanted it so much that it's kind of a new product it's just got that beautiful warm almond. 12:28: Yes, would you like to, I've got it at home, but I don't remember it. 12:31: Look at the Luxe bottle. 12:32: We went to the event together a couple of weeks ago and I was like, no one really said the mist was new, what was going on. 12:37: Everyone's misting themselves, and I'm like, how did I not know there was a mist? 12:39: I thought, bad girl, don't do her job well. 12:41: But that makes sense, and I've been using the mist every single day. 12:44: Yeah, it's so beautiful. 12:45: It's like that really just when you want something light and fresh. 12:49: Well, it's like the shower oil, but you don't have to have a shower. 12:52: Exactly. 12:52: Like that way that it, it just covers and envelopes you in that beautiful just like warm smell. 12:59: I hate the term envelope enveloping in in terms of beauty, but you can't like that brand and that product owns it because it really does like wrap you up in it. 13:07: It does and it like cocoons you with all of your senses. 13:10: OK, so I brought in the supple skin oil. 13:12: I love this product as a good example. 13:14: So this is the old packaging. 13:16: So I mean, lovely, nice, lovely. 13:19: Well you and I both at first were like oh don't change anything. 13:21: I know, well, at first I didn't like it. 13:23: Amy Clark sent me a photo. 13:24: I think it was just a bad photo. 13:25: I was like, ooh, I don't like it. 13:27: But I just think that I resist change sometimes to begin with and then I jump on board, especially once I found out they weren't changing the formula. 13:34: So and then this is the pretty bottle, 200 mLs. 13:38: That's the old one. 13:39: Look at the new one. 13:41: Like, hello, you just grew up, you had an upgrade. 13:46: It's the exact same 100 mL, not 200 mLs. 13:50: Look at that, like, firstly, the box, what a glow up. 13:55: Secondly, the actual bottle. 13:57: You've had a glow up doll. 13:58: Yeah, she really has. 14:00: Oh, I love them both equally, that's because I grew up with that one. 14:02: That's because you like that one looks like a luxury. 14:07: I mean, listen, yeah, you're right, there's nothing wrong with that, but that looks primo, it looks luxe, and given that lux stunt, especially the almond range is a gifting, it's like perfect for gifting either for yourself or for someone else. 14:21: Like having something that just looks that beautiful and lux. 14:24: However, like that, the almond shower oil is Australia's biggest selling shower body wash, shower oil. 14:31: It blows my mind that brands go, wow, this is phenomenal, let's tweak it, like not the, the formula, but like it would have kept selling anyway, so I love that they bother to go, hang on, no, let's modernize the packaging. 14:40: Yeah, they're like. 14:41: Selling one of these every how many seconds, we're making enough money from them, from it, but why not?

SummaryGreat leaders aren't just visionaries—they are unwaveringly predictable, establishing trust and stability within their teams. In this week's Visionary Leader with Jim Robinson episode, Jim explores why consistency is a cornerstone of effective leadership and how it fosters an environment where accountability, emotional safety, and success can flourish.Predictability isn't about rigid routines, but rather about being consistent in values, behaviors, and responses, especially under pressure. Jim shares how leaders who consistently show up as their authentic selves build a reputation for emotional steadiness. People crave that reliability; it anchors them during turbulent times and minimizes anxiety that comes from unexpected shifts or inconsistent treatment.The episode highlights the difference between charismatic and steady leaders. While charisma can attract attention, Jim argues that steadiness is what keeps people loyal and driven. Teams take comfort in knowing what to expect from their leader, allowing them to focus on their own performance rather than bracing for leadership mood swings.Practical habits, or as Jim calls them, “rituals,” cement a leader's dependability. Whether it's daily routines or established processes, these rituals make success repeatable and create an infectious culture of excellence.Ultimately, if a leader is great and predictable, people will want to follow. Predictability paves the way from “the poster from Kmart” to “the Mona Lisa”—the kind of legacy every leader hopes to paint.

You're listening to a MoMA mea podcast from Mamma Mia. Welcome to this spill your daily pop culture fix. I'm Laura Brandy and I'm Vernon, and welcome to Weekend Weekend, where we talk about the best new TV shows and movies that have just dropped this week. Although this week we have two movie recommendations for you to Buzzy movie recommendation. 00:31Speaker 2 Sorry, we need to correct that we have a movie and a half recommendation. 00:34Speaker 1 Okay, I'm already off you for just saying that. A half recommendation Emily Treesman and what do you. 00:41Speaker 2 Mean, guys? I tried really hard. So the movie I'm recommending is called Apex. Yes, it is on Netflix and it stars Charlie Theron and Taron Egerton. This movie is a horror suspense movie in the wilderness. It is so scary. I've only watched half of it. 01:03Speaker 1 Are you serious? 01:04Speaker 2 It's so scared. 01:05Speaker 1 It's okay, But also I just want people to take that with a grade of salt, because you're a scared cat. 01:09Speaker 2 I'm like, you're easily scared, easily scared, but this one just reached a whole new level. 01:15Speaker 1 I don't know what it is. 01:16Speaker 2 Maybe it's a type of horror that I am scared of, which I've only just established from watching this movie. Anyway, I'll let you know what the movie is about. 01:24Speaker 1 Please do so. 01:25Speaker 2 Charlie's Theron plays. This happens in the first few minutes of the film, so I feel like I can say, ye say it. She's like an adrenaline junkie. Yeah, she's like loves rock climbing. She's like one of those dar devil kind of people. And both her and her partner are in the like early early stages of the movie, so this is not a spoiler. They're climbing up this mountain and he falls to his death. 01:46Speaker 1 Okay, just so you know, every climbing adventure movie starts like that. 01:50Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it sets up her as a person. 01:53Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly every movie I've watched about people being like dare devil junkies climbing blah blah blah. Yeah, like for that movie where they're it's on top of the tower and there has to climb up death at the start. Also, yeah, every every kind of climber, you have to. 02:05Speaker 2 Figure out the main character's purpose. 02:07Speaker 1 Yeah, you need to know the steaks straight away. Because all of a sudden, you're just like, this is so dangerous, people are gonna diet. It makes you And also, can I say nothing is more terrifying than watching on screen someone accidentally fall to their death because you can feel it. I don't find it like a like a like my hands. And it's the type of the it's the type of horror that I can't get around. Yeah, it is so scary because it's so rare. You're so worried that one day you might And you famously don't love the outdoors. You don't love activities, You don't love anything that would put you at a great height. 02:35Speaker 2 Why why hate nature? 02:36Speaker 1 Yeah no, why not famously hate nature? Hate adventures? So why do you think you'd find yourself in the situation that you would be climbing a great like mountain or something. 02:45Speaker 2 I'll tell you why, because this movie is set in the blue mountains. 02:48Speaker 1 Yeah, it's way to Also, if she was doing it with her partner, you're like, of course that's gonna happen to you. If you go on a date with someone that let's go climb a mountain, You're like, okay. 02:58Speaker 2 God, you'll never catch me with someone like that. 03:01Speaker 1 Oh see, I think it'd be a fun day. 03:02Speaker 2 I can immediately suss out on dating apps who the adrenaline junkies are in the men that I match with, and it's an immediate I can't shite past s, white past I can't do it. I can't do it. I am not an adventurous woman. 03:14Speaker 1 So this is set in the Blue Mountains, right, And can I just say, we're only just getting over Australia's like pr problem of the whole Wolf Creek situation where for years people were just like because obviously that's about that's based on a true story of a man in the outback who hunted and killed backpackers and those movies and the TV show are so gruesome. 03:32Speaker 2 Well I think they learned from that. So it's not actually like mentioned that it is the Blue mass if they made up like some fictional like national park. But it was very it's very clearly the Blue Mountains, and we all know that they filmed in the Blue Mountains. 03:45Speaker 1 People know it's in Australia. 03:46Speaker 2 Yes, it's very because Taron Egerton has a very Bogan accent and it's a very well done Bogen action. 03:53Speaker 1 We we love a stereotype when it hits. 03:55Speaker 2 Yes, it is, that's what it works so good, to the point where I was like, I forgot he was Australian. Then I was like, but he's not. He's very British. It's very British man anyway. So yeah, Charlie's husband dies. She now goes traveling to Australia to do this like long long nature walk. It's giving Wild, Yeah, it's giving cake. 04:16Speaker 1 It's giving Reese with a spoon, like trudging along a long. 04:19Speaker 2 Path with a backpack, except a man is hunting her. 04:22Speaker 1 Yeah, and you know what, Wild could have used that infusion of a bit of drama. 04:26Speaker 2 It's like, let's hurry it up, let's speed it on, walk faster Reese. So it's basically about Charlie. He's like going through the Blue Mountains while being hunted by a man, hence Apex. It is so scary because it's so real. 04:41Speaker 1 Oh okay, it just feels real, Yeah, because the fantasy element or anything like that to it, Like it's just an evil man doing evil thing, and it's all about. 04:50Speaker 2 Like women like exploring on their own and how are reminded that we can't do that? 04:54Speaker 1 Oh okay, well yeah, exactly that's everyone's biggest fear when they go out on these things. It's like, again, I love that. 04:59Speaker 2 I can't even walk to me corner shop at nine pm because you're so scared. This movie has blindlessly the spirit. 05:04Speaker 1 A woman is literally out in nature by herself, doing dangerous things, and the most dangerous thing is still a miss, it's still a man. Well that you should have just got a bear in there and called it a day. 05:14Speaker 2 The bear would have actually helped her movie Cocaine bear. That would have been a great bed to have. Anyway, It's so scary, but it's so good. And the filming of the actual like scenes of like the walkthrough of the bush and like her in the river and like getting like thrown over in the kayak is like so like so scary. It's so so well done. It doesn't feel any like it's a proper film. It's not like anything cgi at all. It's just done really well. Her acting is amazing. His acting is amazing. We already would have known that. But it's just one of those movies if you are like an adrenaline junkie or you love like that kind of like suspense horror of like will he catch her. Won't he catch her? 05:54Speaker 1 Then? 05:54Speaker 2 This is like the kind of movie for you. You're on the edge of your seat. You're like sweating through the whole thing. 05:58Speaker 1 And how shary, isn't it? Because she's a good action stuff. 06:01Speaker 2 She is so good. She comes across like the good thing about her being in this film is that it's not I feel like if it was a different actress, that could have gone the way of like the poor woman can't get away, Like she's so small and fragile, she can't escape this. She comes across as like a badass in this film, Like it's not like Damsel in distress. It's very much like you can do it, you can make it out like she's so strong. I think that's also the premise of the film. And in that beginning scene, you know she is like well experienced in this world. So it's nothing like, oh my god, I don't know what to do. I don't know how to fire a gun, I don't know what to do. It's like very much like she can do this, she can do this. We're backing her. She's gonna win, okay. Taron Egerton so scary. 06:40Speaker 1 So scary. That's complicated for you because you love. 06:44Speaker 2 Him, she's so and he's like been in an Australia bondai watching the paparazzi photos, pretending it's. 06:50Speaker 1 Filming or horror. Okay, so apex on Netflix. Someone please watch the movie and then tell scaredy Cat Emily the ending. 06:58Speaker 2 Oh my god, yes, and tell me where if you can. I'm not wearing the Blue Mountains. I did the filming. I don't want to go there. 07:02Speaker 1 Don't you want to go there and take a picture. 07:04Speaker 2 I don't want to avoid that. They at all casts. 07:07Speaker 1 Okay. I can't believe this day has finally come. The build up to this for years. But also I feel like I have been living this movie the last month or so, at least because I traveled overseas into the cast. I've written multiple articles about it, We've released multiple videos and podcasts. And what will I do with my life? 07:28Speaker 2 It is that true? What? What are your plans? I don't know. 07:30Speaker 1 There's just darkness. There's just dark. 07:32Speaker 2 Take up a hobby, maybe go go bushwalking in the Blue Mountains. 07:35Speaker 1 I call you. I'm like, okay, I tried to be Telly's throw and I'm hanging from a mountain. What do I do of course, I'm talking about the fact that the devil weares prior to to is finally in cinemas. 07:48Speaker 2 You are here to help us through our current scandal, but I did not hire you, and all I need to do is my time until you've failed what you check the train do. 07:59Speaker 1 I'm going to make something of this job. You could write a book, The Definitive Miranda Priestley Expose Sindy. We did that. 08:08Speaker 2 The Brunello Cucinelli pants. Love those, and you definitely need an embroidered two piece to tam set, but not the terra cotta. Because you're so pale. 08:20Speaker 1 So. 08:22Speaker 2 Jealous that you watch it, I have such fomo. If you've listened to our episode where we talked about your interviews, I said I was saving to watch it with my mum, which I'm doing this Sunday. It's only a few days away. I was so jealous because you and a lot of the team got to watch it. You went to the Sydney premiere for it. Was it on the Tuesday, Yes, it was on the Tuesdays. 08:44Speaker 1 It was the very fans. 08:45Speaker 2 This has been a very long week for me space It's. 08:47Speaker 1 Been a lot. Yes, it was very fancy premiere at the State Theater. It was all done with the iconic red Devil Wears shoe. The champagne was flowing. They had like Devil Wears prior to like customized coke can give back some. 08:59Speaker 2 Of you didn't bring me back? 09:00Speaker 1 Oh my god, actually said, I didn't break myself back. But actually I'm why. I'm really sad that you're there. Just as a quick note is that you know how normally at the State Theater to line up, you line up along the street and it's chaos. And this time I was like, oh, there's no line, this is great. No, the line was down a back alleyway, so every person moved there and I saw like really famous people, like people have had huge TV shows overseas, like Australian influences, like Australian actorssh stars. No, I didn't see Practice Brummel here, who's obviously in the movie. No, No, I'm assuming that they didn't make him. We had to go all line up at an alleyway and at one point you're standing next to bins and barbed wire, and I was like, our jobs are so bad. 09:38Speaker 2 As Miranda would have won it. 09:39Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly, I have everyone being like this is us at the Devil was problem. No, it was so fun to see in a cinema because obviously, despite the fact that I interviewed the cast, I've written about it and done all these podcasts, I hadn't actually seen the full movie until that night because it was kept under lock and key. So now that I've seen the full thing. 09:55Speaker 2 I'm like, God, do you think I love it? Did you love it? 09:58Speaker 1 I liked it so and that's really high praise love. No, no, no, I loved I loved parts of it. I'm not even exaggerating, Like, here's the thing about the Devil weares prior too so so much to say. So it does pick up twenty years after the original, and again this is this is spoiler free because Emily hasn't seen it. I wouldn't do that to you, so don't you guys worry. So obviously we find Andy Sack. She's back in New York. She looks at the fact that she's been living overseas for many years and she's fulfilled her dream of becoming a serious journalist. But then that job gets ripped away from her and I won't say why, but it's very upsetting and sad. And also can I just say PSA to anyone who works in the media industry, This movie is very sober. You're like, oh, I should find another job just in something, but I have no other skills. 10:43Speaker 2 This is the one thing. 10:44Speaker 1 What do I do? So there's that. And at the same time, Miranda is still at Runway Magazine where she is the editor in chief, but she's up for a really big promotion. But the promotion yeah to like with a lives Clark, which is the publishing house, Like still be at Runway, but be like a drive kind of like how Adam Wintaur is now like still the Bosses, but now the overseeral of all the Conde Nast kind of products and things. But then a huge scandal breaks and Miranda and Runway face cancelation and also what will become of her promotion? Yeah, so the states could not be higher. Nigel, obviously played by the incredible Stanley Tucci, is still at Runway Magazine, still the fashion editor, but because of the way media has gone, now his fashion empire, I think I wrote in my review his fashion closet is now a cutlery draw, as in, like not a physical culturally draw, but like the size and the end and stuff. And at the same time, Emily Blunt's character Emily Charleston, is an executive at Deal. But there's a whole backstory there that I shan't get into, so there's a bit of a twist of fate to get it at what I give too much away that Andy ends up back at Runway Magazine as the head of the features department, and then it's this kind of thing of like her having to prove herself to Miranda, save the magazine, save people's careers. And then a lot of the movie also takes place in Italy. Oh yeah, okay, and those things are right switch like Emily, Yeah, They're like, hey, let's do our last season somewhere else. So I will say the best things about it. The original screenwriter, Aleene Broch McKenna, who wrote the first Devil west prit Of movie, is back and out of any movie where it's important to have the original screenwriter, the Devil Wes Prior, I would say is the one that matters the most because the dialogue is such a huroow piece of like the quotable lines, every line exactly, it's like every there's no it's all, it's just so snappy, so smart, so interesting, and so she's penned the sequel script and you can so tell it's exactly the same kind of humor. It's so cutting and interesting and you have these great one liners, so we love that. Of course, the cast are amazing, like watching them step back into these roles, and it's done a way where it doesn't feel jarring and it doesn't feel like you know, sometimes you step back into watching something and it just feels weird, like a lot of people said that with the Gilmore Girls Reboo, that it felt off with the pacing and how they spoke and the delivery and staff, whereas this feels correct. And also it starts so strong like the Devil we is Prota too, Like they jump straight back into the kind of the mix of the drama and you have the four main characters of Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway on screen together very quickly, which was actually a request I found out from Emily Blunt when she read the original script of saying like I don't think we have enough scenes with the core four, and we need one earlier on and that and it doesn't feel like fan service. It just really works and puts you into this world. 13:30Speaker 2 So do we have a lot of montages? You know? I love a montage, really a montage. 13:35Speaker 1 That's the thing. That's the thing. It's not as bring back montages, I know, I bring back makeovers. 13:40Speaker 2 So there's no, there's not and has always the best on montage, no, I know. 13:43Speaker 1 But also because she they explain why she still looks really good and she has nice clothes, like there's a plot point for that. She does get to go into the fashion closet a few times with Stanley tucciin and he pulls or a few things and stuff like that. But I will just say from my untrained fashion eye that the fashion this movie is nowhere near as good as the first. And I give it a little bit of grace because I've been watching the first one for twenty years, so those outfits are burnt into my brain. But I have such a vivid memory of watching The Devil Wes Prita, and every time like a new outfit would come on, you'd be like yeah, yeah, and me going home. And I was like working as a checkout chicken at Kmart in Townsville and I'd like try and like dress like The Devil Wears Pride of characters and it just. 14:20Speaker 2 Like so many movies have taken that, like yeah, montage of the fashion, like coming out of the car door, but then going in the building in a different outfit, and then going into a room and they're in a different outfit, and being at your desk and she's in a different outfit. 14:33Speaker 1 Oh okay, Okay, look, there's great clothes in there, but the clothes don't feel like this incredible character like they did in the first Mate. Okay, I will say, just going back to the good things because I'll get to the bad stuff in a minute. It doesn't feel like a sequel that shouldn't exist, Like it feels like there was more storyless deserve. It feels really deserved, not just because it's so good, but also because The Devil Wears Pritor. When I was really thinking about when I was sitting at my computer writing my review very late last night in this office, I was like, what is it that made this movie so ripe? For the fact that you could make a sequel, despite the fact that it's so beloved, because it's heaps of beloved movies that have released sequels that have not been good and that felt not correct and not needed. But The Devil wes Prator is one of the very few movies that ends on both an ending and a beginning because it ends with Andy leaving going off to forge her career. It ends where Emily is also starting her career. So it kind of it's very natural to wonder what came next because we're seeing the beginning of these women's careers, not the ending. And also Andy was like, she was kind of you getting back together with Nate, but she also was breaking out with him, So it's not like because to make a sequel in general, you often have to break things from the original. You have to break up a happily ever after, you have to end a friendship, you have to bring back a villain to make it work. It's like where people are upset about and just like that with Sex and the City because in order to bring Sex and the City back, they had to break all the things from the finale, and that's why people found it jarring. Whereas Devil we was pritor. It's just like you didn't have to break mething. 16:01Speaker 2 It was very much to be continued. 16:03Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly, and so that's why it feels like it the story is worth it. But also the story and the plot I thought was so great at the end. It has like I would feel like Shakespearean level twists and betrayal. Like a few times I was a gasping. I was like, and she said that, Oh my god, she says, someone says such. We'll talk about this when we do a brially honest review, which mystery. There's a few lines in there. I'm like, that is the meanest thing that anyone has ever said on film, but so but so like needed. There's some really emotional moments in it too, and the emotion didn't feel like, oh, we're just piggybacking off the original like they felt earned in the new movie. So that's all the good stuff. Ten out of ten love recommend see it in the cinema if you can. It kind of peetered a bit in the middle, and I began to get this like kind of sinking feeling in my stomach that The Devil was product had ruined the character of Miranda Priestley, because I felt like it had taken away some of her mystique and some of her the things that made her an iconic character by some times making her look really helpless or making her like giddy and happy. There's the point where she's like in the kitchen of her home, like just like making a drink and like she's chatting away to Andy, and I was like, I feel like I'm watching a female she doesn't do that, but Jed it makes sense later on the movie. It's like in the first movie, how they had to have that scene of her with no makeup where Andy comes upon her. 17:19Speaker 2 You had was that a scene that Meryl Street requested? 17:22Speaker 1 Yeah, they wanted to take it out of the first movie, and she was like, if you don't have that scene of her broken and different, then the movie doesn't work and the charactersn't work. And as I watched this movie, I was like, Oh, we needed those giddy, helpless scenes in the middle. She needed to kind of falter so that when she started flying get at the end, you were like, oh, I get it, I get it. There was that, And also the other thing is like the new character is so great, like somewhere in Ashley Turn Out of Ten, Caleb Haron, Turn Out of Tan, like everyone else so good. There was obviously so much that was shot that had to be cut, Like we've heard about all the cameos and scenes. 17:54Speaker 2 God and ashually wasn't cut. 17:55Speaker 1 Yeah, no, no, she was. Well, I think she'd have a lot more scenes, but obviously they didn't all make it into the movie. Even Meryl Strip told me in our interview that her scenes were cut. 18:02Speaker 2 Yeah, that's right. 18:03Speaker 1 But where I think having so much of the storyline needing to be cut was with Patrick Bramble's character Peter. And he's very charming in it, but it's such a small storyline in the movie, and. 18:16Speaker 2 So he's meant to be like ane Haeway's love and. 18:18Speaker 1 She's only love interest. Yeah, and there's a lot of paparazzi photos of them that came out because he's so hot, really, he's hot, and there's a lot of they became like iconic paparazzi photos of him and Anne Hathaway filming outside in New York and they look so crazy in love and it looked like an old school romance, and we were like like an old school room calm, and everyone's like, oh my god, can't wait to see that. That's one in the movie. Yeah, I just want you to be he's he's in it. He's definitely he's a character, Like he's fine. He hasn't been like he's not he's not Sidney Sweeney, Like he didn't get chopped. Yeah, cameo. But it did feel like that storyline wasn't given enough room to breathe. And I understand why because there was so much plot happening, and you want the plot to be with the four main characters, but then to meet for a little uneven at the end when he and like Anne Hathaway's character were having their big moment, I'm like, you guys are acting off these scenes. You've already shot your head, like. 19:12Speaker 2 They haven't had enough moments to have a big moment. 19:14Speaker 1 Yeah, Like, you guys are acting in the way that your characters spend so much time together, but we as the audience haven't seen that, so we're on the back foot with it a little bit. 19:23Speaker 2 And you don't even know him. 19:25Speaker 1 I was like, wait, is that strange man? But yeah, So that's my only note so on that, I would just say, release the director's cut. I would watch a four hour version of this movie, so easily avenge this. Yeah, bring back director's cuts where we get to see the full thing. So obviously more to say next week when we do a b really honest review and you've seen it, I can't wait to hear what you think. 19:45Speaker 2 I don't wait to watch you with my mum. I just rewatched the original. 19:48Speaker 1 Oh and yeah, per person, So The Devil was prot Of too is out in cinemas now, and stay tuned for. 19:57Speaker 2 If you love the Devil's product. I mean, I've just rewatch the original film. If you're on that same bandwagon and you feel like you know everything about it, we actually have a little gift for you. We have developed a Devil west Prada quiz to test your knowledge on the original film. If you want to give it a go. It is a little bit hard, but I felt like I made it through. I think I got like eighty six percent. 20:18Speaker 1 You thought it was okay? 20:20Speaker 2 Bye, Sorry Devil west Prada. I got of course you did. Anyone gets that you let me more than Emily or an LB. If you want to find out, we'll put a link to the quiz in our show notes. 20:31Speaker 1 We should do a quiz out you got. 20:32Speaker 2 Laura, thank you so much for listening to this episode of the Spill.

Move over, bar trivia—there's a new ruler of the nightlife kingdom, and it's Nude Drawing Nights.

Parents, whose three-year-old twins played in asbestos-contaminated sand, are accusing Kmart of downplaying the risk. In November last year, the retail giant issued a recall notice for some coloured play sand products prompting dozens of day cares and schools to close. Now, Elle Chrisp and David Dingwall are taking Kmart to the Disputes Tribunal after their children played with the contaminated product at home. Mary Argue reports.

From there, Tony takes us into entrepreneurship, designing sports training tools, scaling Duraflex Sports Products, and saying yes to a $5 million Kmart order when the company was barely formed.

He is also the author of Silent Battle, a book written for families and friends of veterans, first responders, and law enforcement to help identify when someone may be at risk.The conversation then turns to Helping Heroes USA, the nonprofit Tony founded to support veterans, active-duty military personnel, and first responders. Through suicide prevention programs, community outreach, and national campaigns, his work focuses on strengthening connections and reducing isolation.We talk about the patterns that often go unnoticed, the stigma that keeps people silent, and the warning signs that can appear before a crisis, like giving away meaningful belongings or suddenly organizing finances. We also explore how to start a non-judgmental conversation, why asking directly about suicide does not “plant the idea,” and how simple acts, a coffee meet-up, a cycling group, even a genuine smile, can become a lifeline.If this conversation resonates, share it with someone who may need it, and leave a review to help more people find the show.What's one small way you can be a support angel for someone this week?Send BEHAS a text.Support the showTo Share - Connect & Relate:Share Your Thoughts and Shape the Show!

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (4.24)

What if AI isn't just a tool to plug into your business — but a reason to redesign the entire thing? In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Steven Wunker, managing director of New Markets Advisors and bestselling author of AI and the Octopus Organization: Building the Super Intelligent Firm. Steven has been working in AI since 2012 and has advised dozens of Fortune 500 companies on how to unlock real growth through transformation — not just optimization.Steven challenges the "AI magic dust" approach most companies default to — sprinkling AI on top of existing workflows for marginal gains — and makes the case for something far more powerful: using AI to take over entire classes of tasks, redistribute decision-making to the front lines, and redesign how organizations actually work. Whether you're a SaaS founder thinking about your product roadmap or a leader rethinking your org structure, this episode will challenge you to think way bigger.Key Takeaways4:13 — AI is the biggest shift of our lifetimes — bigger than smartphones Steve has been in AI since 2012 and helped launch one of the first smartphones in 1999. He says this is still bigger — not just in breadth of adoption, but in depth: changing strategies, org structures, and roles within companies.7:14 — Stop using AI as "magic dust" Sprinkling AI on top of existing workflows only yields marginal gains. The real transformation happens when AI takes over entire tasks that humans won't do (too tedious), shouldn't do (not the best use of their skills), or can't do (too high volume). That's when organizations must fundamentally rethink how work gets done.9:55 — The Octopus Organization: distributed intelligence in action The octopus has nine brains — one central brain and one in each arm. Each arm can sense, think, and act independently while remaining contextually aware of the whole. That biological model is the blueprint for how AI-powered organizations should be structured: parallel execution, distributed decision-making, and strategic focus at the center.11:25 — Why authority hasn't truly been devolved — and how AI finally changes that For 40 years, leaders have talked about flattening orgs and devolving decision-making. It hasn't happened for two reasons: humans resist giving up authority, and front-line workers have lacked the contextual awareness to make good autonomous decisions. AI solves the second problem — and also gives leaders visibility to veto in near real-time rather than always having to pre-approve.16:48 — Map the "work chart," not the org chart Microsoft calls it the "work chart" — how work actually flows through the organization, cross-functionally, in reality. That's what needs to be mapped and redesigned. Layering AI onto the org chart misses the point entirely. Change happens workflow by workflow, tranche by tranche.26:29 — Three questions every leader must answer right nowHow does the competitive landscape change? (Include DIY and AI-native startups)What makes you special in an AI world?How do you get work done — what behaviors, culture, and structure do you need?32:19 — Everyone in management is now a change manager It doesn't matter how technical your role is — if you have people reporting to you, you must become a change manager. That skill can no longer be confined to a C-suite priesthood. Psychological safety for AI adoption and rethinking how good work is incentivized are critical.32:58 — The LUCK framework for strategic serendipity Derived from workforce survey research, four patterns that separate successful AI adopters:L — Leverage help (stay connected, workflows are increasingly cross-functional)U — Unexpected connections (be open to signals outside the average case)C — Control chaos (build systems to absorb the disruption coming)K — Know what's missing (AI is only as good as its data; humans must fill the gaps)34:57 — Don't chase glamorous AI use cases first IBM's Watson failed spectacularly by targeting cancer diagnoses — the world's best oncologists didn't need it. The win? Recording doctor-patient conversations so doctors can actually practice medicine instead of typing. Low risk, high utility, high return. Start there.38:05 — The most valuable AI use cases are unglamorous Things humans won't do: take notes after every meeting and distribute them. Things humans shouldn't do: type during patient consultations. Things humans can't do: transcribe and summarize 40 simultaneous three-person breakout groups and track individual commitments. AI can do all of this — none of it is flashy, all of it is high-value.28:10 — Build in AI optionality from the start Upwork re-engineered their stack with an AI optionality layer — flexible to swap between small LLMs, large LLMs, agents, or other AI systems. You can't predict where AI goes. Build optionality in. Don't make bespoke bets you can't unwind.Tweetable Quotes"AI has this ability to take over certain tasks entirely — things humans wouldn't do, shouldn't do, or simply can't do at scale. That's when it gets truly transformative." — Steven Wunker"We've been talking about devolving authority and de-siloing organizations since 'In Search of Excellence' in the 1980s. It just hasn't happened. AI finally changes the equation." — Steven Wunker"The octopus is 300 million years old — 70 million years older than the dinosaurs — and it has survived because it is so darn adaptable. We need to be like that." — Steven Wunker"AI magic dust — sprinkling it on top of what you're currently doing — will get you marginal improvements. That's nice. But it won't fundamentally change how organizations work." — Steven Wunker"Don't be Adobe in the face of Figma. That has already played out. It would be very easy for that to play out again in innumerable SaaS markets unless we think transformatively." — Steven Wunker"Every person in any management position is now a change manager. It doesn't matter how specialized your technical skill is." — Steven Wunker"Features are only as good as their adoption." — Steven Wunker"AI is only as good as the data that's in it — so it's the role of the human to think about what's NOT in that AI system that needs to complete the picture." — Steven WunkerSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Redesign the work, don't just automate it. The companies that win with AI aren't the ones that add AI features — they're the ones that fundamentally rethink how work flows through the organization. Map your "work chart" (how work actually happens cross-functionally) and redesign it workflow by workflow. Layering AI on your existing org chart is the surest path to becoming the next Kmart.2. Your installed base is an asset — but only if you act transformatively. Existing SaaS companies have something AI startups don't: data, customer relationships, and deep domain context. That is an enormous advantage — but only if you think transformatively. AI-native disruptors are watching your market. Your data moat only protects you if you use it to reimagine what you build, not just improve what you have.3. Prioritize low-risk, high-utility AI use cases first. Resist the temptation to prove what AI can do with your most complex, high-stakes problem. Start where the utility is obvious and the risk is low. Prove value there. Build trust with customers and your team. Then expand. IBM's Watson at MD Anderson is a $62M cautionary tale. The doctor who gets to practice medicine instead of typing is the win.4. Build optionality into your AI architecture. You cannot predict where AI capabilities are heading. Large models, small models, agents, new paradigms — the landscape is shifting too fast to make permanent bets. Build your product and internal systems with an optionality layer that stays flexible. Businesses that hard-code their AI assumptions will face expensive rebuilds. Those who build for adaptability will compound their advantage.5. Transform your go-to-market alongside your product. AI transformation isn't just a product problem — it's a sales, marketing, and customer success problem. The companies that win aren't just selling software; they're selling a changed way of getting something done. That means customer success becomes more important, not less. Sales cycles involve more change management. Proving economic value requires new evidence. Think Workfront, not the feature-obsessed competitor it acquired.6. Make change management everyone's job. The old model — change management as a C-suite discipline — is dead. In an AI-first organization, every manager at every level must develop the skills to lead people through uncertainty, redesign workflows, and create psychological safety for new ways of working. If you're building or leading a SaaS company, start developing these muscles now — in your leaders, your managers, and yourself.Guest Resourcesswunker@newmarketsadvisors.comBook: AI and the Octopus Organization: Building the Super Intelligent Firm — Available on Amazon in all formats (print, ebook, audio)Book Website:

Does the film rise in the oven or are we left with a soggy bottom?Finally, the Cruise cruise voyage continues! Stopping-off at the 1988 classic, Rain Man.

My guest today is Teresa Olson, founder of Olson House in Milwaukee, a beautifully curated store known for Scandinavian-inspired homewares, design-led products, and now a growing vintage collection. But her story does not begin in retail showrooms and brand catalogues. It starts in a Kmart, moves through a record store, a speech communications degree, DJing, interior design, corporate office life, and eventually a leap into opening her own store in 2015. In this conversation, Teresa shares how she built Olson House with intention, how she sourced directly from Scandinavia, what she learned from navigating freight and tariffs, and how a vintage pivot helped drive a 90 percent jump in online sales. This is one of those episodes that is full of heart, but also packed with quiet commercial wisdom. In this episode, we cover: Teresa's unconventional journey from record stores to retail founder Why she left corporate life and retrained as an interior designer How a trip to Scandinavia shaped the Olson House brand What independent retailers can learn from sourcing with intention The hard realities of tariffs, freight, and small-space inventory decisions How vintage became a strategic pivot, not just a passion project What drove a 90 percent increase in online sales Why Google Shopping ads worked better than broad awareness marketing How Teresa uses email segmentation and VIP offers to increase conversions What local retailers can do when external factors hit foot traffic Why nimbleness matters more than ever in today's retail environment You can explore her store online at Olson House.

If you're running paid ads for a premium eCommerce brand and your ROAS isn't scaling — or you've been posting consistently for years and growth has stalled — this episode is for you. This week I'm talking about something that almost nobody in the marketing world addresses directly: the validation search. It's what premium buyers do in the five minutes between seeing your ad and deciding whether to buy — and it has almost nothing to do with how good your ad was. I also get into a story that will be very familiar to a lot of innovative founders: spending years creating something truly original, only to see a cheap dupe appear at Kmart or Target. And why the reframe you need isn't anger — it's clarity about which customer was ever yours to begin with. In this episode: The psychology of the validation search — what premium buyers actually do after they see your ad Why the Kmart dupe buyer and the premium buyer are completely different customers — and why that's actually great news for your brand The buyer personality that struggles most with premium pricing — and how to recognise if it's you Why the search landscape has shifted and why premium brands have a structural advantage in it A three-question brand audit you can run today to see exactly where you stand

Jason is out, but the chaos doesn't take a week off. The guys get into cheap vodka rankings, extinct store nostalgia, and a surprisingly heated defense of Kmart layaway that turns into a full-blown argument. There's bracket drama, a brutal "correct me if I'm wrong" moment, and a spring break reality check that goes sideways fast. Jose somehow turns things into a deep dive on toilet plumes and pizza roll injuries, Kevin's girls take over rapid fire, and Chase unloads on the absolute war zone that is daycare pickup.
