Podcasts about Korean

We're back — kind of. The boys reunite for an emergency episode in a temporary setup while the brand new studio is still stuck in permit hell. Maxx, Joe, Christian, and Shawley catch up on everything that's been going on: Shawley's deep dive into Brazilian jiu-jitsu (yes, he goes every single day), Maxx learning Moonlight Sonata on the piano, Joe picking drums back up, and Christian's ongoing IVF journey with Heidi. Oh, and there's a trivia round that goes about as well as you'd expect. The second half gets into some real talk — the housing market is rough, nobody can sell their house, Joe has mixed feelings about his F-250, and somehow the conversation spirals into stock market predictions, AI bubbles, and whether the Korean market crash is a warning sign for the US. Classic Don't Be Sour energy: start with jiu-jitsu, end with macroeconomics. They close things out with a WNBA debate, some cologne recommendations nobody asked for, LeBron heading to Philly, and a full breakdown of the Fauci hearings and COVID vaccine controversy. No new studio, no fancy lighting, some echo — but the pod is back and that's what matters. Episode 160 in the new studio is coming soon. Probably.

Guest hosts Kelli and Michal join Charles once again to talk about fictional music in recent Korean dramas.  After the longest five minutes ever to discuss Yumi's Cells, they tackle Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Twinkling Watermelon, and Idol I.

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news that now we are in August, there are only 100 working days until Christmas, and less than 70 until our 2026 general election! You will need to pull your finger out to ensure your 2026 goals are on track to be accomplished. This week will see the release of a number of updates on how the July real estate market performed. More importantly, we will get the June labour market update and that is expected to show rising joblessness (to 5.4%). To be fair, labour market data are lagging indicators. In Australia, Cotality and Domain will report what they saw in their residential real estate markets. And we will get both household spending and cost of living updates for June this week, neither expected to show improvements. We should also note that their fuel excise tax suspension ended last night. From April to June the discount was 32 AUc/liter, for June and July it was 16c. Now there is no relief discount there. Globally it will be all about July PMIs (other than keeping an eye on the warmongers who all show a distinct lack of any idea on how to end the conflicts they started). In the US, the other important data will be their end of week labour market updates in their non-farm payrolls report. There is little evidence to suggest it will be a strong one and markets currently expect another month of less than +100,000 gains (+91,000) and a rising jobless rate (4.3%). We will be tracking their bond market signals closely too. And that the Trump Organisation is regarded by banks as a money-laundering entity barely raises an eyebrow these days, indicates how low the US has fallen. But also, a key background reason risk premiums are rising. In India, they will get a central bank review but no-change to their policy rate (5.25%) is anticipated. We will be tracking those PMIs too, especially in China to see if the private S&P Global versions continue to be more upbeat than the dour official versions. After four months of minor expansion, those official factory PMIs has slipped back into small contraction with a much sharper shift than was expected. After two months of minor expansion, their official services PMI also slipped back into a small contraction, also a sharper shift lower than expected. China's overall growth targets are looking less likely to be achieved the longer the year goes on. But lets not overstate these pullback signals; most countries would love to have their growth levels even at the reduced impetus. China's key issue is that new order levels are fading and exports are the key driver, not internal consumption (which is their goal). So more induced infrastructure stimulus is on the way. Korean industrial production bounced back sharply in June after the minor but unexpected dip in May. The June level was +5.8% higher than a year ago, up +2.3% from May, a heartening rebound for them. The Korean stock market bounced back sharply on Friday after the earlier dives, but they still ended the week down more than -3%. Japanese industrial production recorded a similar recovery in June, up +4.2% from a year ago, up +1.3% for the month. But that was not matched by retail sales in Japan which took a rather large tumble, down -4.1% from the strong year-ago level, up +0.5% from May. The Japanese central bank intervention support for their currency may have been significantly expensive, even if it has succeeded in halting the devaluation with a 3% recovery. Reports indicate they spent US$45 to US$50 bln on the few-days effort. It happened again on Friday, this time in a joint action with the US. And more may be coming. EU inflation came in at 2.9% in July as expected, up marginally from June's 2.8%. Australian producer prices rose +3.6% in June from a year ago, the most since early 2025 and above the anticipated +2.5% and even the 'high' Q1-2026 3.0% level. Inflation is embedding and it is a result that will focus attention by officials. In the US, even though the US Fed held its policy rate unchanged last Thursday (despite 3 dissenters wanting higher rates), markets have pushed US benchmark rates higher anyway. The UST 10 year is +27 bps higher at the end of July than at the beginning. Their 30 year benchmark is also +27 bps higher. Most of these increases came in the past two weeks, and will resonate soon for American home loan borrowers. The updated July University of Michigan sentiment survey confirmed its better July levels, and confirmed lower inflation expectations. Still, these new levels are -11% lower than year-ago levels with perceptions of current conditions -19% lower. These measures are still in the down-trend that started in 2024 even after these better July results. They noted that US consumers remain focused on pocketbook issues like purchasing power, while political or military developments remain more in the background. Also improving in July were the results of the Chicago PMI, clearly benefiting from stockpiling and reshoring still. In the current Q2-2026 earnings season reporting, 86% of S&P 500 companies have reported a positive EPS surprise and 77% of S&P 500 companies has reported a positive revenue surprise. In Canada, they reported their GDP rose modestly in June, a third consecutive rise and the fifth gain in six months as their economy gathers steam. Q2-2026 results aren't yet available but it is clear they will be quite positive, in contrast to the small dip in Q1-2026, and the weak Q2-2025 result. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.75%, up +1 bp from this time Saturday, up +7 bps for the week. We make that its highest since January 2025 (briefly) and prior to that October 2023. The 30 year yield is at 5.28% and a 20+ year high.  The price of gold has fallen to US$4042/oz, down -US$8 from Saturday down -US$6 for the week. Silver is down -50 USc at just over US$57.50/oz, down -US$1 for the week. Oil prices are little-changed from Saturday still at now just over US$84.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is still just over US$88/bbl.  The Kiwi dollar is unchanged from Saturday at just under 58.9 USc, but up +100 bps for the week and back to early June levels. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 83.8 AUc. Against the euro we unchanged at 51.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at 62.6 which is also unchanged from this time Saturday, and also up +100 bps for the week. The bitcoin price starts today at US$63,293 and up +0.4% from this time Saturday, down -1.4% for the week. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/-1.0%.

BTS Boycotts the 2027 Grammys: When global superstars BTS unexpectedly pull out of the Grammys, they're not just skipping an award show—they're sending a seismic message about artist power, industry influence, and cultural recognition. Discover why BTS's decision ignites a broader conversation on all-star activism, genre boundaries, and the true meaning of international fame.In this episode, we unpack BTS's boycott of the Grammy Asian Pop category, revealing the behind-the-scenes tensions between artists and the industry's flawed recognition system. Stephanie, Peter, and Michaela explore the strategic implications for artists claiming autonomy in a market dominated by corporate interests, and how BTS's stance could shift global music politics. You'll learn about the political symbolism of BTS's Korean-language protest and why they called the Grammys' genre distinctions into question—highlighting a larger shift in the music industry towards an inclusive, borderless future.KATSEYE "ANIMAL" Analysis: Plus, we delve into how other major K-pop acts like KATSEYE and KARD navigate the fine line between provocative artistry and commercial safety. From playful dance challenges to cutting-edge visuals, these groups are redefining what it means to be “daebak or not,” blurring genre lines, and challenging industry expectations. We react to and break down the appeal of their genre-bending tracks like “Animal” and the controversies around their sexualized, self-aware performances. We also dive deeper into Katseye's overt reference to the 1996 lesbian film "Bound" in their Animal MV, and evaluate whether they are capitalizing on queer sexuality as "forbidden fruit" for viewers or genuinely making a critique.With insights from industry insiders and cultural critics, this episode underscores the stakes for artists refusing to be just commodities—and the opportunities that come from making a political statement through pop. Whether you're a K-pop fan, an industry observer, or a curious listener, this is essential listening for anyone who believes music is more than just sound—it's a mechanism for change.

Elon Musk may be looking to bring Tesla and SpaceX closer together, but a potential deal could raise major questions about China, defense contracts, corporate control, and just how much value is tied to Musk himself.Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong discuss reports that Tesla may sell its China business to clear the way for a potential SpaceX merger, why the combined company could resemble a Korean-style industrial conglomerate, and why Tesla and SpaceX may be more dependent on one person than any other major companies in the market. They also break down rising bond yields, climbing mortgage rates, Big Oil's surge in profits, and why capping oil company profits is not as simple as it sounds. Plus, they look at the Goldilocks inflation narrative, the wild surprises that shaped markets this week, the Strait of Hormuz autocorrect that stole the show, and why some drivers are going to extremes to avoid new car technology.

How Manhattan's Koreatown functions as a new ethnic enclave In the past decade, Korean entertainment has gained global recognition, with Korean movies and TV shows winning Oscars and Emmys, and K-Pop groups becoming wildly popular. In Manhattan, Koreatown has become a popular destination for both locals and tourists, drawing them in with its bars, restaurants, and day spas. In Koreatown, NYC: The Consumption of a Transnational Brand (NYU Press, 2026), Jinwon Kim argues that Manhattan's Koreatown has become a new type of ethnic enclave, what she dubs a "transclave." This commercialized ethnic space exists solely for consumption, leisure, and entertainment, and has been shaped by South Korea's nation-branding strategy, new economic and cultural strategies, patterns in Korean migration, and shifts in tourism and urban policies in New York City. Kim posits that for many consumers in Koreatown, especially those who are not of Korean descent, the space has become a commercialized place where transnational culture meets the diverse racial and ethnic mosaic of New York City. Kim emphasizes how the space functions to "brand Korea" as a space to "consume ethnicity," reflecting the landscape of South Korea's consumer culture through the physical appearance of buildings and stores and the inclusion of franchise brands. Ultimately, Koreatown, NYC is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of authenticity, ethnicity, and identity in the heart of New York's midtown. Michael O. Johnston is Associate Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. His research explores symbolic interaction, leisure, meaning, place, community, and sociology of everyday life. He is the author of the forthcoming book Smalltown Urban: Performing the City in Rural America (Bloomsbury, January 2027), The Social Construction of a Cultural Spectacle: Floatzilla, and Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest. Smalltown Urban explores how small towns create moments of urbanity through festivals, public gatherings, and everyday social life. Since joining the New Books Network in 2017, he has interviewed more than 100 authors across sociology and the social sciences, helping connect scholars and their work with a broad public audience.

*Note: This episode was recorded before news broke of Situational Awareness' unwind, which gives us much better insight into the pace and magnitude of the move in the Korean markets specifically.* Chips, China, and credit. The three forces tearing through the AI trade right now, and we called it last week. In this episode we break down why the bond market cracked first, what widening credit spreads on Nvidia, Meta, and Oracle are actually telling you about default risk, and why the Nasdaq is bleeding while the S&P barely flinches. We walk through Alphabet's first negative free cash flow after twenty years of printing money, the CapEx numbers that keep getting revised upward, and the moment the market stopped rewarding spending and started punishing it. If you have ever wondered how to read a credit spread, we show you the math live. Then we get into the China story that moved markets this week. CXMT went public in the largest mainland Chinese semiconductor IPO on record, oversubscribed 212 times, and the Korean stock exchange took the hit because the KOSPI is essentially a memory-chip index wearing a trench coat. We explain why memory matters in an AI data center, why Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron controlling 90 percent of the market was the whole moat, and what reports of domestically produced DUV lithography machines would mean for US export controls. We also unpack Nvidia guaranteeing borrowing for a 10-gigawatt OpenAI data center in Ohio, and whether circular financing between chipmakers and model labs is clever structuring or an accounting Ouroboros. Finally, the philosophical hangover. We react to Elon Musk's Economist interview and his claim that money stops mattering within a decade, pressure-test his deflationary argument against MV equals PQ, and ask why every science fiction author who ever imagined artificial superintelligence wrote a horror story. Plus Anthropic's positioning ahead of a possible IPO, the distillation and copyright fight with publishers, the rare books being unbound and shredded to feed training data, and where value actually accrues if models commoditize. Energy and molecules, or something else entirely. Subscribe for weekly deep dives on AI infrastructure, credit markets, semiconductors, and the money moving underneath the entire AI build-out.

On this episode of And Now We Drink, Matt Slayer sits down with Christy Love for a wide-ranging, unpredictable conversation that moves from bourbon and Bible study to corn, prison ministry, podcasting, and the meaning of forgiveness. Christy opens up about growing up with an alcoholic father who later became a pastor, her Korean mother's deep faith, and the Pentecostal experience that shaped her own spiritual life. Matt and Christy dig into theology from very different perspectives, with Matt bringing atheist curiosity and Christy offering candid, non-preachy reflections on sin, salvation, science, and why she believes relationships matter more than judgment. Christy also speaks openly about her husband's incarceration, the crime from his youth, her decision to choose forgiveness, and the prison church and Bible studies he has helped build behind bars. The conversation also explores Christy's work in the industry, her new podcast In Bed with Christy Love, her upcoming memoir  and why she sees podcasting as both therapy and a way to reclaim her own story. Along the way, Matt breaks down the brutal realities of podcasting, fame, OnlyFans, camming during the pandemic, and surviving trolls with humor. From LA restaurants and Michelin stars to Japan, Cuba, Oktoberfest, dating norms, toxic relationships, and whether someone would sleep with a clone, this episode is funny, thoughtful, explicit, and surprisingly philosophical—exactly the kind of chaotic honesty And Now We Drink does best.     We are proud to be brought to you by BellFlask   www.bellflask.com use promo code slayer20 for 20% off at checkout     Cover your shame in our wares.   New Merch! anwd.net/merch   The Patreon is full of exclusive content and directly supports the show. patreon.com/mattslayer Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How Manhattan's Koreatown functions as a new ethnic enclave In the past decade, Korean entertainment has gained global recognition, with Korean movies and TV shows winning Oscars and Emmys, and K-Pop groups becoming wildly popular. In Manhattan, Koreatown has become a popular destination for both locals and tourists, drawing them in with its bars, restaurants, and day spas. In Koreatown, NYC: The Consumption of a Transnational Brand (NYU Press, 2026), Jinwon Kim argues that Manhattan's Koreatown has become a new type of ethnic enclave, what she dubs a "transclave." This commercialized ethnic space exists solely for consumption, leisure, and entertainment, and has been shaped by South Korea's nation-branding strategy, new economic and cultural strategies, patterns in Korean migration, and shifts in tourism and urban policies in New York City. Kim posits that for many consumers in Koreatown, especially those who are not of Korean descent, the space has become a commercialized place where transnational culture meets the diverse racial and ethnic mosaic of New York City. Kim emphasizes how the space functions to "brand Korea" as a space to "consume ethnicity," reflecting the landscape of South Korea's consumer culture through the physical appearance of buildings and stores and the inclusion of franchise brands. Ultimately, Koreatown, NYC is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of authenticity, ethnicity, and identity in the heart of New York's midtown. Michael O. Johnston is Associate Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. His research explores symbolic interaction, leisure, meaning, place, community, and sociology of everyday life. He is the author of the forthcoming book Smalltown Urban: Performing the City in Rural America (Bloomsbury, January 2027), The Social Construction of a Cultural Spectacle: Floatzilla, and Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest. Smalltown Urban explores how small towns create moments of urbanity through festivals, public gatherings, and everyday social life. Since joining the New Books Network in 2017, he has interviewed more than 100 authors across sociology and the social sciences, helping connect scholars and their work with a broad public audience.

The Sanna family of Chicago saw the end of the milkman and needed adapt their dairy business for the future. Hello Swiss Miss. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Seaside Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young and Stephen Semple sitting here. And he just told me what the topic is. And it took me back to, gosh, it took me back to my young teens sitting in a ski lodge drinking some hot chocolate. Stephen Semple: There you go. That’s a good one. Dave Young: This was the innovation in hot chocolate, and we’re going to talk about Swiss Miss. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: All right. And I’m trying to think of when that would’ve come out. Probably, I’m guessing the ’60s, ’70s? Stephen Semple: Yeah, it was ’60s. Dave Young: And it wasn’t long before my mom had a recipe for it would make a giant tub of it. It wasn’t Swiss Miss obviously, but it was like it’s powdered milk and cocoa and whatever else. I would just eat it by the spoonful dry. Stephen Semple: Wow. Really? Okay. There you go. Dave Young: Sure. I was doing those kinds of YouTube challenges before YouTube was around all by myself in my mom’s kitchen. Stephen Semple: Well, Swiss Miss was actually launched in 1961. 1961. It was created by the Sanna family, as you’ll learn in this. And it’s a bit of an interesting story. It’s almost like a seven-act play in terms of- Dave Young: The Sanna Family? Stephen Semple: Sanna family. S-A-N-N-A, Sanna. Dave Young: Sanna. Okay. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And it said it’s a bit of an interesting journey. It’s almost like a seven-act play in terms of the stuff that happened. Dave Young: And I don’t know where this is going. I’m going to throw a weird guess out. Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: One of the things that my mom put in her hot cocoa recipe was a powdered milk. And we used to drink this, a powdered milk called Sanalac. Stephen Semple: You’re right on the money, Dave. Dave Young: Is that right? Okay. Stephen Semple: Yep. Once again, ding, ding, ding. Dave nails it. Dave Young: All right, continue. Stephen Semple: Okay. Well, we’re done. We’re done now. Dave Young: For some reason, I saw it with one N, but yeah, it was weird. There was a period of a couple years where she didn’t buy milk at the store. She bought powdered milk and we had these jugs that had these plungers that stirred it up and we had powdered milk. It was almost like war rations in the ’70s or something. I don’t know why we did it. Stephen Semple: So this is a big part of the story. Now, Swiss Miss was started in ’61. It was sold in 1967 to Beatrice Foods. Now, the price wasn’t disclosed, but it’s estimated it was somewhere in the $10, $12 million range, which is not bad for 1967. Today, they’re owned by Conagra, and it’s estimated that they sell 50 million boxes a year of Swiss Miss hot chocolate, which is pretty- Dave Young: That’s a lot of hot chocolate. Stephen Semple: That’s a lot of hot chocolate. Our story starts with Anthony Sanna, who’s an Italian immigrant in Chicago, who starts Sanna Dairies, which is a milk distribution company. And at the time, milk was a really regular delivery. There was the milkman who came to the neighborhood delivering bottles of milk. Dave Young: Yeah. And we had a milkman. Maybe she didn’t like him and decided, “Sorry, we’re going the powdered route.” I don’t know. I don’t know. Stephen Semple: Interesting. Dave Young: We’ll never know. Stephen Semple: Following World War II, US consumers start going through a large transition. Suburbs, boom, refrigeration in the home becomes common, grocery stores emerge. Guess what? The writing on the wall for home milk delivery is there. Dave Young: The refrigerated section of the grocery store. Yep. Stephen Semple: Right. So Anthony sees this opportunity to create maybe what he should do instead of he’s got to pivot the business away from whole milk delivery to, “I’m going to build a shelf-stable milk product.” Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So now at the time, powder milk existed and had for generations, but the problem was it wasn’t convenient. It tended to float on the surface, formed like these stubborn lumps. It created a lot of dust. It required really vigorous mixing and it didn’t dissolve well in cold water. So shelf-stable, but not convenient. What Anthony Sanna developed was this milk drying. He did this more of this milk drying that turned it into Sanalac, which is one N. Dave Young: Sanalac. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Oh, is it? Okay. Stephen Semple: Yeah. It’s spelled with one N, but the family name is two Ns. And basically promote it as the first instant dry milk. And the word instant is important here because the milk was very fine, dense particles that when it hit the water, it blended better. Dave Young: I don’t remember there being anything wrong with it. It was like, “Oh, you dump the powder in, you put the water in, and the pitcher, it was a plastic pitcher and it had a plunger agitator thing, and now it’s milk. Have some cereal now.” Stephen Semple: The powdered milk previously was when the water hit the powder, the outside would become wet and sticky, trapping the brown powder inside, so it was all this work to break it down. Dave Young: It’s kind of like stirring up a protein drink today, right? Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Where the Sanna process from Sanalac produced a powder that was more porous, less dusty, easier to wet, quicker dissolving. Great. Dave Young: Love it. Stephen Semple: So now what you’ve got is this patent that Charles Sanna put together was described as being instantly soluble, free-flowing, relatively dust-free, non-fat, dry milk. So the first act- Dave Young: Put that in a song. Stephen Semple: Exactly. So act one is we basically pivot away from the milkman. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So challenge to the business was milkman’s going away. That’s a powerful idea. Dave Young: Yeah, absolutely. Stephen Semple: Because my business is changing, I pivot. But I didn’t pivot away from the milk business, pivoted away to how the product is done. On its own, we could do a whole podcast on that, but we’re not done yet. So war breaks out with Korea. Korean War breaks out. Dave Young: Gotcha. Stephen Semple: And Charles takes the product and packages it in the small individual packets. Dave Young: Oh, okay. So you could have a cup of milk. Stephen Semple: So now it’s easy to transport and use it. You could have a cup of milk, you could use it as a creamer for coffee, all the other stuff. And he gets a huge contract with the government, but in order to meet the delivery requirements, he has to have a large inventory on hand of the milk powder. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Korean War ends. What do you do with all the inventory? Dave Young: Oh my gosh. Stephen Semple: So he’s sitting on this massive amount of inventory. So what Charles notices is that there’s a lot of hot chocolate mixes at the time where cocoa and sugar, but required hot milk. Dave Young: You added milk. Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: Hot milk, he had to heat up. And as we know, heating up milk, it’s a bit of a pain in the neck because you can get the film on the top. Dave Young: Gotcha. Stephen Semple: It’s one of those things that goes from warm to boiling over instantaneously. It’s crazy. Dave Young: I can’t remember the last time I even tried. Stephen Semple: Right. Well, I’ve done it for some creams, things like that. It’s pain in the neck so, “What if the milk was part of the mix?” He asked himself. So he started experimenting with mixing in cocoa and sugar with his instant milk. Now you have a hot chocolate without heating milk. Dave Young: You could just use hot tap water. Stephen Semple: Exactly. Dave Young: Right? Yeah, a kid can make their own cup of hot chocolate. Stephen Semple: So act one, we make the powder milk. Act two, we put it in packaging. Act three, we now invent hot chocolate. So what’s the next act? So in 1959, they launch it, but they call it Brown Swiss. Dave Young: Brown Swiss, that’s not good. Nobody wants Brown Swiss. Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off, and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: So act one, we make the powder milk. Act two, we put it in packaging. Act three, we now invent hot chocolate. So what’s the next act? So in 1959, they launch it, but they call it Brown Swiss. Dave Young: Brown Swiss, that’s not good. Nobody wants Brown Swiss. Stephen Semple: So here they are. They didn’t invent hot chocolate, they didn’t invent hot beverages, but what they really created was this new thing, hot chocolate instant beverage. I’ll just open the pack, add hot water, ready to go. Now, where are they going to sell it? So what they decide to do was sell it to airlines because they could individually pack it. Dave Young: Airlines. Oh, yeah. Stephen Semple: Because remember, it’s late ’50s, airline travel’s glamorous. And so they approach the airlines and they say, “Hey, you should do this because this’ll be really easy for you to give people hot chocolate.” Dave Young: And nobody’s going to be boiling milk on an airplane. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: Nobody wants to do that. So yeah, perfect. Perfect target. Stephen Semple: Right. But our story’s not quite done because they lose the airline contracts. And the reason is, here’s the ironic twist, they lose the contracts because the product is so popular, people are stealing packets and taking it home with them. Dave Young: That’s just good market research. That’s what that is. Stephen Semple: So it becomes way too expensive for the airlines to do this. But what they know is, “We got a hit. When that’s happening, we’ve got a hit.” But what they also realize is Brown Swiss is not really a good name. So in 1961, they rebrand it to Swiss Miss. And in the packaging, they lean heavily into the halo effect of Swiss and Swiss chocolate. Dave Young: Sure, sure. Yeah. And then there’s a little alpine girl in the logo, right? And she’s the Swiss Miss. Stephen Semple: Exactly. And the interesting thing is the product has nothing to do with Switzerland. It really doesn’t. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: But what they understood is there’s the halo effect of Swiss, which they understood with Brown Swiss, they understood Swiss has got this halo effect, but Brown Swiss was almost too weird and on the nose. Swiss Miss allowed them to create this lovely feeling, right? Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And when you looked at the early packaging, there was Swiss lodges and this character, this Swiss character. Dave Young: We’d much rather think of our milk as coming from a happy cow with a bell around its neck in Switzerland than a modern day dairy operation. Stephen Semple: Right. Well, if you think about it, we often use these shortcuts to judge products. If something comes from Italy, we assume fashion. Germany, we assume engineering. Japan, we assume electronics. France, luxury. Switzerland, chocolate and watches. Dave Young: And holes in cheese. Stephen Semple: And holes in cheese. Yeah. So the company literally borrowed these decades of reputation and attached to it for that halo effect. And it just worked better when they did it with the name Swiss Miss than Brown Swiss. But what I loved is the path this went down is think about the innovations that Charles Sanna did. “I’m in a milk delivery business. Delivery’s going away. What do I do? I’ll make a shelf-stable product. That way I don’t have to deal with the delivery man.” Korean War comes along. “Oh, I’ve got an opportunity. Let me individually package it. Great. Oh, I’ve got all this inventory. What am I going to do with it? I’ll make hot chocolate.” He continually pivoted. And it wasn’t a pivot of leaving his industry. This is the other thing that gets me is when people are like, “Oh, I’m going to go over and do this other industry thing.” No, it was still all inside a consumer consuming a milk-like product. Dave Young: I wouldn’t be surprised if the hot chocolate mix that my mom made wasn’t a recipe from Sanalac. Stephen Semple: Maybe. Dave Young: Because the main ingredient is powdered milk. Stephen Semple: Right. That’s interesting. Dave Young: And you just add your own cocoa and sugar, but they’re still selling her powdered milk. Stephen Semple: Right. Yeah, they’re still selling their product. Yeah. Dave Young: Right? And if you want it more convenient, you want to take it on the road or take it on a ski trip or to the cabin in the woods or whatever, to the ice rink, you’d fill a Thermos with hot water and grab the packets and go. Stephen Semple: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Here’s the reason why I found this interesting is I want to think about where we are today. How much change is going to be happening due to AI, changes in population, things along that lines? And there’s going to be this temptation to go into different businesses. You don’t need to go into different businesses. Just look at the opportunity around the edges of your own industries because you already have a lot of knowledge about that industry. But what I really like is any one of these challenges, how many companies got wiped out following wars when the war ended and they were stuck on industry? In the motorcycle, so many companies, things like that would wipe out, didn’t wipe them out. Or things like a whole business pivoting in terms of what the business model is, like milk delivery man. Unbelievable innovations and pivots that I think really just shows how brilliant a business person Charles Sanna was. Dave Young: I think you can absolutely pare this down to he had a focus on removing friction. Stephen Semple: Yes, there you go. Dave Young: Right? Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And if you focus on removing friction between you and your customer, in the case of the milkman, right? The friction point as well [inaudible 00:15:47]. Stephen Semple: The milkman was removing. Yeah, but even getting into milkman- Dave Young: The guy dropped off the milk and I had to remember to pick it up off the porch before it spoiled and put it in the fridge, and then put the bottles back out. Stephen Semple: Right. But if you even think about the milkman, when it first came out, it was removing friction because it was brought to your home. Dave Young: Sure. Yeah. Stephen Semple: So the first removing of friction was bring milk to the home. Second removing of friction was remove the milkman. Next friction was put it in individual packages. It was that constant thinking because that’s even what landed them in the milkman business in the first place, I’m going to guess. Dave Young: Sure. Yeah. Very cool. Very cool. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: And that’s something you should think about in your business is- Stephen Semple: Absolutely. Dave Young: … what’s getting in the way of my customers? What’s between me and my customers? Stephen Semple: Constantly make it easier for the customer. Constantly make it easier. Absolutely. Oh, and later on, of course, after the business was sold, I think when it was under Beatrice, the next little giggle that they did was putting the dried marshmallows in, so then all of a sudden you’d have the dried marshmallows in with the package. Dave Young: Oh, sure. Yeah. They’ve got all the different… There’s dark chocolate Swiss Miss. There’s all kinds of product fair issues. Now, we’re at about 16. Can I pull on another thread that might lead to somewhere else? I don’t know. It’s probably a dead end, but my understanding, this might be an American versus Canadianism, but this is only strangely interesting to me because I’m from Nebraska. Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: So the name is Beatrice or- Stephen Semple: Beatrice. Dave Young: … the company here we would call it Beatrice. There’s a town in Nebraska, which is also where, that’s the Conagra folks. It’s Beatrice. The town is named Beatrice. Stephen Semple: Beatrice. Okay. Dave Young: And I don’t know if that’s where the food company got its start, but it’s like, “Here’s a word that’s got three different pronunciations.” I told you this was going nowhere, but we’re at 17 minutes now. Stephen Semple: Conagra bought Beatrice, whatever you want to call it. So yeah. Dave Young: If it was a woman, you’d just call her B. Stephen Semple: B. There you go. That’d be easier. Dave Young: Beatrice. All right. Well, now you’ve solved another one of my childhood mysteries, Stephen. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: Shed new light on why my mom was feeding us powdered milk all those years. Stephen Semple: There it is. Dave Young: All those years. Stephen Semple: There it is. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: All right. Dave Young: Thanks, looking forward to next time on the Empire Builders Podcast. Stephen Semple: All right. Thanks, David.

진행자: 박준희, Chelsea ProctorYou came for an old song. Then stayed for someone's life story기사 요약: 유튜브 명곡 영상 댓글창에 자신의 추억과 이별, 가족 이야기 등 개인적인 사연을 남기는 문화가 온라인 공감 공간으로 자리 잡고 있다.[1] Music lovers often arrive on YouTube looking for a tune. Then they find themselves reading about someone's first love, an ode to a mother or father or about a parent's unconditional love for their child.* lover: ~을 좋아하는 사람* tune: 곡; (악기의) 음을 맞추다; (기계를) 조정하다* ode: (특정한 사람·사물·사건에 부치는) 시* unconditional love: 조건 없는 사랑[2] The comment sections under a YouTube video from an old Korean ballad, a 1990s or 2000s pop hit or a nostalgic drama soundtrack often feel less like a place for reveling in the music itself and more like a shared diary where strangers leave their memories of love, grief and moments that certain songs refuse to let fade.* nostalgic: 향수를 불러일으키는* revel in: (어떤 감정이나 상황을) 만끽하다* grief: 큰 슬픔* fade: 점차 희미해져 사라지다[3] For one user, Park Ji-yoon's “Illusion,” released in 2000, helped her through school violence, just like how the song explores the lingering pain of heartbreak and unfulfilled love.* illusion: 환상* explore: 탐험하다* lingering: (쉬 끝나거나 사라지지 않고) 오래 끄는* unfulfilled: 실현되지 않은[4] Unlike social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where identity is often central to the experience, experts say YouTube's anonymity may be what makes the space feel safe. Anyone can read the comments, meaning users often write to strangers rather than people they know, making it easier to share memories, grief and regrets with strangers in ways they might not with friends or family.* experience: (어떤 일을 실제로 겪거나 당한) 경험* anonymity: 익명성* memory: 기억; 추억* regret: 후회기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10812754[코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독]아이튠즈(아이폰): https://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/koliaheleoldeu-paskaeseuteu/id686406253?mt=2네이버 오디오 클립 (아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용): https://audioclip.naver.com/channels/5404팟빵 (안드로이드): http://www.podbbang.com/ch/6638

Welcome, Grace Statwick, a professional artist raised in Springfield, Missouri. Grace grew up knowing she'd be an artist. She graduated from Vassar College with a degree in film and experience in set construction working for the school's drama department. She proceeded to work in prop and set construction for film, and then as a sculptor for Bass Pro Shops, building waterfalls and trees and traveling across the country. In 2016, she moved to South Korea to teach English, where she began to exhibit, in earnest, with a group of expat and Korean artists called The Exotic Beasts. After a few more years of artist residencies and natural-building projects in the States, she spent the pandemic growing her painting business out of Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in rural Missouri, and later moved to Virginia. She has since landed in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, where she now works as a muralist. Her work is high-chroma, high-contrast, theatrical, and magical. Her paintings energize a space. Grace recently spoke with The Artists Index's podcast host, Max Wickemeyer, about her life, practice, and journey.

On today's episode, we welcome Suman Desai, Founder and President of GLASSFX, a biotechnology-forward skincare brand built at the intersection of clinical science, Korean innovation, and modern consumer behavior. Before entering the beauty industry, Suman co-founded FLYBLACK, a private aviation company that challenged traditional luxury travel. But after spending four years inside South Korea's leading formulation labs, she became convinced that skincare was ready for its own disruption. That vision became GLASSFX—a clinically driven beauty brand designed to deliver high-performance results without the complexity of traditional skincare routines. Built with patented Korean technologies and advanced bioactive ingredients, GLASSFX is focused on creating products that perform like makeup, heal like medicine, and fit seamlessly into modern life. In this episode, Suman shares what she learned from working alongside some of Korea's top skincare innovators, why she believes the beauty industry has overcomplicated skincare, and how consumers are increasingly demanding fewer products with better results. We discuss the difference between real biotech innovation and marketing hype, how to build trust in one of the most crowded consumer categories, and why she believes the future of skincare will be defined by science-backed performance rather than endless routines. Suman also reflects on the lessons she carried from luxury aviation into beauty, the challenges of building a disruptive brand in a legacy industry, and the emerging trends she believes will reshape skincare over the next decade. A must-listen for founders, operators, beauty enthusiasts, and anyone interested in where science, technology, and consumer behavior are taking the future of skincare.   Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

Bo Fowler is a true Chicago restaurant powerhouse, though she is far too modest to describe herself that way. After leaving medical school and finding her way into professional kitchens, she went on to open some of the city's most memorable restaurants, including Fat Willy's Rib Shack, Owen & Engine, and Bixi Beer. Her food reflects the full range of her upbringing -- Korean, Vietnamese, Scandinavian, and deeply Midwestern -- while her career has been defined by persistence, instinct, hard work, and a willingness to learn as she goes. In this episode, we discuss leaving medical school for the kitchen, growing up in a sprawling multicultural family, the rise and legacy of Owen & Engine -- and so much more!

The Pastorate's Lead Pastor FellowshipEmotionally Healthy DiscipleshipHope Church NYCBeautiful, Disappointing, Hopeful by Drew HyunA Grace Disguised by Dr. Jerry SittserWater from a Deep Well by Dr. Jerry SittserThe Pastorate ConferenceThe Pastorate's City MeetupsThe Pastorate Pastors RetreatEpisode NotesToday's episode is part three of our summer series exploring our pastoral formation cohorts here at The Pastorate. This episode features Drew Hyun and Dr. Jerry Sittser, profiling their time spent with last year's cohort of The Lead Pastor Fellowship. Drew Hyun is the Lead Pastor of Hope Church NYC and Executive Director of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship. Drew shares the unpolished version of his own story: growing up a pastor's kid in a Korean immigrant church that split twice before he hit middle school, watching his father go from a harsh, at times violent man at home to a celebrated Christian author and speaker in Korea, and the gap that opened up between his own public ministry persona and a private life marked by hidden addiction and unprocessed rage. He traces how a chance internship exposed him to Pete Scazzero's "iceberg" picture of discipleship, the ten percent above the surface and ninety percent buried beneath it, and how that encounter became the seed of emotionally healthy discipleship in his own life. Drew confesses that it's entirely possible to do ministry for God without God, and that the deepest work of leadership is letting Jesus into the deepest and darkest parts of our hearts. Following Drew, Dr. Jerry Sittser, Professor Emeritus of Theology and Senior Fellow at Whitworth University, teaches on pastoral care through irreversible loss, the kind that permanently changes the landscape of a life. Drawing on his own experience, losing his wife, mother, and daughter in a single car accident, Dr. Sittser rejects the idea of "stages of grief" and other neat recovery paradigms in favor of learning to carry loss for good, being transformed rather than finding resolution. He offers pastors concrete counsel: resist rushing to answers, know which biblical text fits which moment, help people ritualize mourning instead of just enduring it, and help them build a community of people who can shoulder their burdens.In this episode you'll hear:Drew's story of growing up a pastor's kid inside two church splits, including a church fistfight that the LAPD had to break up,An exploration of the phrase: "Jesus may live in your heart, but Grandpa lives in your bones,"Why it's entirely possible to do ministry for God without God, even while seeing real spiritual fruit,Pete Scazzero's iceberg image and how it became the seed of a discipleship model that goes beneath the surface,Dr. Sittser's own story of catastrophic loss, and why he rejects "stages of grief" in favor of integration and transformation,How to discern when to speak and when to sit in silence with someone carrying irreversible loss,Practical postures for walking with people through suffering. PartnersWe couldn't do the work we do at The Pastorate without your generous support.
