Podcasts about Kmart

"What you have to understand is, four days ago he was only my brother in name and this morning we had pancakes." It's time for another Frankie favourite here on Film Junk: the 1988 road trip dramedy Rain Man! This one was a huge blockbuster at the time and went on to win four Oscars including Best Picture. But has it been forgotten and a little underappreciated over the years? Was Dustin Hoffman right to question his own performance? Was Tom Cruise snubbed by the Academy that year? Did Hans Zimmer's score break new ground or was it just following '80s trends? Would Raymond really say "Kmart sucks"? Definitely three minutes to Wapner... hurry up and listen to this week's episode of the Film Junk Podcast.

Matt's back from Bali and he's got beef... with the nonnas of this country, who apparently think it's fine to kiss children they've never met in airport elevators. Ash also unveiled the greatest travel hack of all time: April's buffet tackle box, a Kmart special that's fed the family for an entire holiday. Matt and Ash also weigh in on the great plane seat debate, why the red-eye flight home is a rookie error, and whether telling your kids the screens are "broken" counts as good parenting (it does). Plus, a Par-Rant about car park vultures circling mid-nappy-change, whether you're a good parent if all you do is bring home the money, and the daycare sickness dilemma splitting one very pregnant listener.

What if waiting until you feel ready is the reason you keep missing the opportunity? A lot of people have ideas, ambition, and opinions, but very few are willing to move before they have the perfect plan. Ronnen Harary built Spin Master by doing the thing so many people avoid: making the first small decision, trusting his gut, asking who could help, and moving fast enough to catch the opportunity while everyone else was still thinking about it. He did not start with decades of experience, unlimited resources, or a perfect roadmap. He started with curiosity, speed, persistence, and a willingness to figure it out in real time. This matters because opportunity rarely looks polished when it first shows up. Sometimes it looks like a weird grass toy, a product everyone else passed on, or a preschool show created after two brutal years of company losses. Ronnen's story is a reminder that success is built through motion, not overthinking. The people who win are the ones who create momentum, learn fast, build the right partnerships, and keep going long enough for the next big thing to appear. Ronnen Harary is the co-founder and former CEO of Spin Master, one of the world's largest children's entertainment companies, behind brands including Paw Patrol, Bakugan, Air Hogs, Rubik's Cube, Melissa & Doug, and Toca Boca. He is also the author of No Experience Necessary. In this episode, he breaks down entrepreneurship, instinct, failure, culture, partnerships, decision-making, and why not knowing too much can sometimes be the advantage that gets you moving. What's discussed: (02:11) Why Ronnen wrote No Experience Necessary after building one of the biggest toy companies in the world. (05:48) Why a learning disability does not mean a lack of intelligence. (13:27) How Spin Master started with two college friends, fertilizer sales, and the decision to go into business for themselves. (20:46) How one bold Kmart meeting turned into an order for 48,000 pieces and the possibility of half a million more. (27:02) Why bite-sized decisions, momentum, and asking for help matter more than having the full plan. (30:11) Why speed to market and fast scaling helped Earth Buddies beat the competition. (36:56) How Air Hogs became the product everyone passed on before it took Spin Master from $7 million to $35 million in sales. (48:57) How Paw Patrol was created during Spin Master's lowest point after losses, layoffs, and failed shows. (01:02:43) Why the ability to say sorry, debate well, and remove ego is critical in business partnerships. (01:21:17) How overthinking led him to turn down a $100 million Universal movie deal.   Thank You to Our Sponsors! Magic Mind: Head over to magicmind.com/jen and use code JEN at checkout.

In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with the wonderful, funny, honest, mud-covered-in-the-car-after-a-run, Nagiska Mayes. And honestly? What a joy. Nagiska first appeared in the Melbourne Frontyard Ultra Mini-Series, but this time we get to properly sit down and find out more about who she is, where she came from, and how running has become such a huge part of her life. Nagiska was born in a car on the way to hospital - which feels very fitting, really, because she says she's always been in a hurry to get where she's going. She grew up moving around a lot, changing schools often, and navigating a childhood that was colourful, chaotic, sometimes difficult, and full of change. She is one of 15 siblings, landed in Victoria as a child, and eventually found a bit more stability in Koo Wee Rup, where she met her now-husband, Jack. Sport was not exactly Nagiska's thing at school. In fact, she was the girl with the note. The “I can't do sport today” girl. The “maybe I can get out of this” girl. And honestly, fair enough. As Nagiska shares so openly, there were layers behind that - self-consciousness, not having the right gear, not feeling fit, not wanting to embarrass herself, and a whole lot of life happening behind the scenes that teachers and classmates would never have known about. Fast forward a few years and somehow, through gyms, lockdowns, $20 Kmart shoes, and Jack suggesting they “just go for a run,” Nagiska found herself attempting her first run. She made it 200 metres. Not 2 kilometres. 200 metres. And then slowly, that became 1 kilometre. Then 2 kilometres. Then 5 kilometres. Then Spartan events. Then marathons. Then 100K. Then backyard ultras. Then Last One Standing. Then Melbourne Frontyard Ultra. As you do. We talk about her first pair of proper runners, her love of medals, her first big ultra experience, and the complicated feelings that can come with wanting to be seen, celebrated, and validated - while also learning to do things for yourself. Nagiska is beautifully honest about this. She talks openly about her need for recognition, her struggles with self-worth, her mental health, and how running has become one of the biggest tools in her life for processing, healing, connecting, and staying grounded. Running, for Nagiska, isn't just fitness. It's therapy. It's identity. It's connection. It's structure. It's community. And it's also a place where she gets to shine. We also chat about the backyard ultra format and why it has pulled her in so strongly. For Nagiska, it's the people. The atmosphere. The chance to keep coming back to base every hour. The community. The fires. The chats. The shared suffering. The fact that you can run alongside people you admire, and suddenly they know your name. She shares how crewing Jack at Wild Dog helped her fall in love with the format, how watching strong women like Margie Hadley inspired her, and how the backyard ultra world has given her friendships and support she deeply values. We also talk about Last One Standing, where Nagiska pushed herself through huge daily kilometres while still working big hours, eventually finishing second female and top seven overall. A massive achievement - even if her brain didn't let her fully see it at the time. There's so much in this episode: Growing up with instability and finding your own path The fear of embarrassing yourself Starting running from 200 metres Why shoes matter Building consistency through a run streak The emotional side of chasing big goals Backyard ultra community Finding your people Running with your partner and friends Mental health, honesty, and using running to process life Why scary things can lead to beautiful things Nagiska also shares what her running looks like now - structured training, speed sessions, long runs, rest days, strength work in her beautiful home gym, and a very full calendar of big events including You Yangs 100 Miler, King of the Hills, Aussie Alpines Backyard Ultra, and Melbourne Frontyard Ultra next year. Tips and Takeaways from Nagiska Start where you are Nagiska started with 200 metres. That matters. You don't need to be “good” before you begin. Get decent shoes Her $20 Kmart shoes are now part of the origin story, but she's very clear - shoes matter. They protect your feet, legs, hips, and body. One kilometre can change everything Nagiska's run streak started with a simple commitment: minimum 1K a day. It helped her stop putting herself last and created consistency. Find your people Running is easier, richer, and more fun when you have people who get it. For Nagiska, that's Jack, Rach, Margie, and the wider ultra community. Do the scary thing Nagiska nearly talked herself out of coming on the podcast, but booked straight away because she knew she might avoid the uncomfortable thing. Her reminder: the scary things often lead to growth. Running can help you process life Nagiska doesn't describe running as escaping. She describes it as time to process, digest, and work through things. Pass the Baton This episode continues the new ZenRUN Podcast segment - Pass the Baton. The idea is simple: each guest answers a question from the previous guest, then leaves a question for the next runner. Nagiska answered Jason Rantall's question: Would you entertain the idea of running a different format from what you normally run? You'll need to listen to the episode to hear Nagiska's full answer - and to find out what question she passes on to the next guest. Listen to this episode if… You've ever felt like you weren't “a real runner.” You've ever started from scratch. You've ever wanted to be seen, but also wanted to prove something to yourself. You love the backyard ultra world. Or you just want to hear a funny, honest, full-hearted conversation with a runner who shines brightly - and is brave enough to talk about the darker bits too.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:What does it actually take to set yourself and your family up for life — not just for the next few years, but for generations?In this episode, Lloyd Edge sits down to talk about his brand new book Set for Life — and this one is completely different. It's not a property book. It's not just for investors. It's for anyone, at any age, who wants to take control of their money, build a plan, and stop wondering where their paycheck disappears every month.Lloyd shares the concept of the *Freedom Fund* — a simple but powerful separate savings account that becomes the engine of your financial future. He breaks down how he went from a schoolteacher with no financial goals to building a 19-property portfolio, why compound interest is the most underused wealth tool most Australians ignore, and how even a few small spending changes — like your daily coffee — can add up to thousands in your Freedom Fund each year.The episode also covers a strategy most people have never heard of. Lloyd then opens up about generational wealth, teaching his 5 and 7-year-old kids about money, and the legacy he wants to leave — including funding a school in Kenya and gathering with CEOs and business leaders at Richard Branson's Necker Island.And yes — Richard Branson bought that island for *$*180,000. It's now worth *$*100 million. There's a lesson in there for all of us.*If you've ever asked yourself:*Where does all my money actually go each month?How do I start building wealth when I feel like I'm already behind?How do I teach my kids about money before it's too late?What does real generational wealth actually look like?This is the episode for you.---⏱️ *TIMESTAMPS:*---0:00 – What inspired Lloyd to write Set for Life — his 4th book3:31 – Introducing the Freedom Fund — your separate savings account for financial freedom4:17 – How much of your salary to put in (5%, 10%, 15% — what's realistic)6:43 – How Lloyd actually learned about wealth — and the no-goal mistake he made buying his first Rockdale apartment10:41 – The Freedom Fund explained in full — how it actually works12:18 – No overseas travel until 30, no credit card until 36 — what that sacrifice built12:35 – Afterpay warning: why buy-now-pay-later is silently killing your future14:01 – Small changes add up: cutting two coffees = $70 extra in your Freedom Fund per week15:47 – Compounding growth: how your Freedom Fund turns into your first investment deposit17:57 – Generational wealth: setting your kids up to set their kids up20:30 – Compound interest: the 8th wonder of the world (and why your bank account matters)23:29 – Where to buy Set for Life (Amazon, bookshops, Kmart, airports)26:10 – Charity and philanthropy: funding a school in Kenya directly29:51 – Necker Island: what happens at the exclusive gathering of 25 world leaders31:00 – Necker Island bought for **∗∗180K—nowworth∗∗**180K — 100....---

310 - From Airline Pilot to $1 Billion Self Storage Empire: Ryan Gibson's Blueprint for Passive Wealth What if the same checklist that keeps a commercial jet from crashing could also keep your real estate deals from blowing up your bank account? That is the mindset Ryan Gibson brought from the cockpit to the boardroom, and it is the difference between investors who build lasting wealth and those who get burned chasing the next shiny deal. In this episode, Ryan, president of Spartan Investment Group and co-host of Passive Income Pilots, breaks down the go or no-go framework he uses to evaluate every deal, the same discipline that keeps an airplane in the sky. He shares the 10/30/30/30 principle for structuring your net worth, explains why self-storage has outperformed every other asset class over the last 40 years at roughly 17 percent annually, and reveals how Spartan grew from a single house flip with his neighbor turned business partner into a billion-dollar portfolio spanning 15 states and over seven million square feet. He also gets into the strategy behind converting old retail boxes, including a former Kmart and Macy's, into thriving storage facilities, plus the surprising real-world hazards that come with owning thousands of storage units. This episode is essential listening for high-income professionals, especially airline pilots, who want true passive income without taking on a second job, as well as any real estate investor looking to diversify into a historically high-performing, recession-resistant asset class. If you have ever wondered how to evaluate a deal with the same clarity a pilot uses before takeoff, or whether self-storage deserves a spot in your portfolio, this conversation will change how you think about both. 5 Powerful Takeaways Learn the "extension clause" negotiating trick for 1031 exchanges that buys you extra time on the 45 and 180-day deadlines so you are never forced into a rushed, overpriced purchase. Discover the go/no go decision framework, borrowed directly from cockpit protocol, for knowing exactly when to walk away from a real estate deal and when you are too committed to turn back. Get the 10/30/30/30 net worth allocation strategy high-income earners use to balance liquidity, market growth, tax-advantaged real estate, and truly passive investments. Understand why self-storage has delivered roughly 17 percent average annual returns over 40 years, outperforming multifamily, data centers, and mobile home parks. Hear how a single house flip with a neighbor turned into a billion-dollar, 15-state self-storage portfolio, and what that growth story reveals about building investor trust early. 00:00 Show Intro 00:59 1031 Exchange Basics 03:22 Meet Ryan Gibson 04:51 1031 Exchange Pro Tip 07:00 From Pilot to Investor 11:32 Finding a Business Partner 13:55 Pilot Mindset for Deals 20:01 Leading Under Pressure 22:20 Passive Income Explained 24:12 10 30 30 30 Portfolio 28:33 1031 Legacy Planning 29:51 Why Self Storage Wins 33:00 Market Consolidation Play 36:14 Conversions and Reuse 37:32 Tax Foreclosure Surprises 40:34 Spartan Growth Plans 41:16 Wild Storage Stories 43:30 Badass Rapid Fire 48:34 Success Definition and Wrap About the Guest Ryan Gibson is a commercial airline pilot turned self-storage entrepreneur and president of Spartan Investment Group, now the 29th largest self-storage operator in the country with more than one billion dollars in capital organized across 15 states and over seven million square feet. He built Spartan alongside business partner and Army veteran Scott Lewis, growing the company from a single neighborhood flip into a major institutional-grade platform. Ryan also co-hosts the podcast Passive Income Pilots, where he teaches airline pilots and other high-income professionals how to build genuine passive income without adding a second job to their schedule. He applies the same disciplined, checklist-driven decision-making from his years in the cockpit to how he vets deals, operators, and markets today. More than 400 airline pilots have invested alongside him in Spartan's self-storage portfolio.

The city of La Crosse has a lot going on right now — from transforming the now-closed library and tearing down the Kmart, to rezoning for housing by the old Shopko at Bridgeview Plaza and establishing new TIDs on the causeway and by Black River Beach. To help explain all that, Mac Kiel joins, as we break down the process for what comes next with the old north library and recap her mayor district forum from Monday night — a district that contains both the old Kmart and new elementary school. To help explain all of it, Mac Kiel stops in studio, as we break down the process for what comes next with the old north side library and recap the mayor district forum from Monday night — a district that contains both the old Kmart and the new elementary school. Kiel, who is on the Library Board, also walks us through the choices they had that led to the north side library closing. The building has now gone through the RFEI (Request for Expression of Interest) process, and we talk about the formal and informal proposals that were reported by WIZM on Monday. Plus, Kiel explains the next steps — the RFP (Request for Proposal) process — which happen Wednesday at the Economic and Community Development Commission (ECDC). We walk through some of the six-page document on the ECDC agenda that lays out what the city might want from those submitting RFPs. Before we got to that, though, Kiel went to the mayor’s District 7 forum, which was also led by city council member Gary Padesky. She talked about what the 30 or so attendees brought up, including the old Kmart coming down— possibly this summer — and the new elementary school going up. Lastly, we ended with next week’s Finance and Personnel Committee meeting discussing TIDs (Tax Incremental Districts) — one in the Gundersen area, plus others in the Black River Beach area and on the pike headed to La Crescent. Kiel does her best — again — to help explain a TID. We began the show, though, sulking over Giannis Antetokounmpo getting traded. Kiel is a former La Crosse City Council member, who is an advocate for providing the public with what is happening with city government. She also serves on some city boards and works with the unsheltered population.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?

18:08: You sits in my hand. 18:10: I just saw you fold up a letter or something, though. 18:12: the other day or like last week at some point, I was looking at myself in something, in a photo or a video, and I went, ugh. 18:20: Your teeth, ma'am, they just needed a bit of a zhuge. 18:23: They were throwing a little bit of yellow. 18:26: OK. 18:26: One of the reasons I hate using teeth whiteners is, oh, I hate them. 18:31: I don't like the feeling of it on my teeth, and they go. 18:34: I don't like the gel, the filmy from the yuck. 18:37: I don't like the strips when they, they just, and then you can't, you feel like you can't swallow properly. 18:42: Oh my God, me too, stop talking about it. 18:43: I, I, I've never done teeth whitening. 18:45: I have. 18:46: Something for you in my hand. 18:48: It looks like a scrunched up lavender, cos I was like, oh, they're god awful, you're gonna have to do something. 18:52: Your teeth, wow. 18:53: So I pulled out the polished London. 18:55: I knew that I had some leftovers in my garage where I store all my stuff. 19:01: I had the polished London teeth whitening strips. 19:04: Now Pap Pro whitening technology, residue-free, and it said that on there and I was like, surely not. 19:12: Now, can I speak to the whitening? 19:14: No, cause I've only done it twice. 19:16: Can I say that these are the only whitening product I've ever used that didn't actually leave a residue? 19:21: I don't know how they did it. 19:23: It, you generally just put it on your teeth and it feels like you've just got dry tape on your teeth. 19:27: Yes, OK, so it's like that sticky tape, clear stuff, but it doesn't then, does it make you feel like you've got a plate tin? 19:32: No. 19:32: And it doesn't then you know how like they sort of half dissolve and yes, and then yeah. 19:38: And you just pull the tape off after half an hour. 19:41: No residue. 19:42: You don't even have to brush them. 19:43: Can I have that one?

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.

Executive Producer: Monisha Iswaran Audio & Video Producer: Michael Kean Mamamia acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on which we have recorded this podcast. 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. Yes, folks, pencils up, clothes… optional, dignity… negotiable.Also, shoutout to those legendary Kmart commercials—nothing will ever top the joy of proudly announcing you “shipped your pants” in public. Truly a simpler, weirder time.And brace yourselves… because World War Eleven is apparently on deck. We skipped a few sequels, but hey, who's counting?PLUS: even more after-dark chaos, questionable decisions, and stories you'll only half remember. Buckle up.

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.

A teenage coach finds a sponsor for a little league team, grows into college football at UCLA, builds manufacturing companies that ship at massive scale, and then pivots into a mission that matters more than any win-loss record.Tony DeMaio joins us to share the full arc, with a simple through-line: learn fast, stay organized, and keep showing up for people.We begin with coaching, what it really demands beyond playbooks: relationships, long hours alongside other coaches, and the kind of pressure that forces clarity. 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. If you care about leadership, sales, product demonstration, and building trust under pressure, there's a lot here you can apply.Tony DeMaio is a community leader, veteran advocate, first responder, and entrepreneur whose career has been defined by innovation, leadership, and service. 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:
